Okay so whenever I watch Samurai Champloo, I always notice that Mugen comes to Fuu's rescue. I guess that was the reason I started liking the pairing. Another thing I noticed was that Mugen and Jin always going to the places with the women and do their thing, while Fuu is just outside…alone. So I came up with this one-shot. Sorry for any OOCness. Read and review please! No flames please. Enjoy!

--You're Better--

Summary: She always sat back while the guys went to have their fun. Well, she had just about had it. FuuMugen

"I'm just asking. What do they have that I don't" A flustered Fuu sat next to Mugen, who was currently lying on the floor. It was the middle of the night, and Fuu, Mugen, and Jin decided to camp out tonight. Jin was sleeping, but Fuu was too busy discussing a certain matter with Mugen to care.

"Just drop it already. Shit! It's the middle of the night. Go to sleep."

"No, Mugen. I want to know. You and Jin always go to those women and have sex, while I'm stuck outside, hungry, and lonely. I'm a woman, too, you know."

The big-haired man turned to face the brown-haired girl. There was obvious annoyance evident in his features. Mugen stared Fuu in the eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

The woman clad in the pink kimono let out a long sigh. She looked over her shoulders and checked that their other companion was still in a deep slumber. "Mugen, we've been on this journey for a while, and you still don't notice it, do you? I like you, Mugen. I like you a lot."

Mugen laid transfixed by Fuu's words. He slowly raised his upper half and became eye-level to Fuu's sitting form. Before he knew it, Mugen crashed his lips onto those of the brown-eyed woman.

Fuu ran her fingertips across Mugen's abdomen as Mugen's hands searched to find the small of the girl's back. Next thing either of them knew, the dark-skinned man pinned Fuu to the ground. Little by little, their kiss began to get more passionate. It wouldn't be long until the kiss developed into something more.

"Before you two go any further, I ask you to stop now."

The two stopped their actions and turned to see Jin's silhouette. His eyes were closed, but Fuu and Mugen knew he was wide awake. Mugen slowly pulled himself away from Fuu and lied next to her.

"Thank you," were Jin's curt words.

Fuu stared up at the sky, still trying to process what had just occurred. She turned on her side to face her male companion. Mugen was also staring at the stars, his hands behind his head.

"You're better then they are—in all forms. Maybe we could finish were we left off later." With one last look at Fuu, Mugen closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"Sure." Fuu smiled brightly and closed her eyes as well.
