Ok well, inspired by an RP I'm in, enjoy. And also this is my first fanfic, so no flaming please.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A young woman in white entered a village. Her hair was adorned with long white hair and held up in a partial ponytail with a long blue ribbon, and snowy bangs hung in front of her icy blue eyes. Her black boots crunched on the dirt road, kicking up a bit of dust and two katanas hung by her sides. Her hand remained on her pocket, protecting it from the greedy hands of any pickpockets, though she should be talking about pickpockets. She began looking for a restaurant to eat in, continuing her silent walk through the village.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town
"I'm so hungryyy! Haven't you guys gotten any money yet?" The young girl, Fuu, whined. She trailed behind the two other men, all of them clearly hunger stricken. Once they entered the town, they both stopped, made a series of hand movements, and took off in opposite directions. "Not again! You jerks!" She yelled before falling to her knees and held her head.
--
Mugen trudged through the town, hands behind his head, "Damn, there has to be somewhere good to eat in this shit-hole..." He grumbled. He stopped when a bar, with a few attractive women inside caught his eye. "Hello." He said to himself as he hurried inside.
--
Jin also made his way through the streets, looking for the same thing. All that was on his mind was food. He couldn't remember time he ate! He began looking for ways to attain money. Maybe he could steal something, get a donation, anything!
--
Hiei had no such luck in finding a place to eat, and slumped against a building leaning her head back. "Looks like I'm just going to have to steal something to keep myself entertained!" She said, putting her hands behind her head, smiling at the thought of stealing something from a stupid man.
--
Mugen sat at the bar, sipping on his sake, which he told the waiter he would pay for, after he finished drinking. Screw that. He didn't even have enough money for a tiny glass, hell, he had no money at all! Drink and run, wonderful tactics. However, at the moment, he was swooning over a rather attractive woman next to him, who appeared to be getting aggravated with him. Eventually she just got up, slapped him, and walked away from the drunken bastard. "Man, those tough chicks really turn me on..." He said, rubbing his face.
--
Jin made his way into the marketplace, hoping to find work of some kind. The rounin wandered through the crowds, but found nothing of his interest, or that could help him. His mind was spinning with thoughts of a decent meal, and it only made him more anxious to find work, any work, to get some money.
--
Fuu pulled herself up off the ground and trudged into the village, a pissed look on her face. "Those jerks! I can't believe they would leave me like that!" She thought for a moment, then smiled, "I know, I'll get me some money, that'll show them! And I won't share a penny with them either!" She said as she clenched her fists and laughed, marveled by her 'brilliant' plan.

A/N: Wow! Crappy, short chapter! Well, yeah, bit boring, but its made basically just to introduce the characters and their positions, I promise this will pick up! ...I think Mugen pretty much stays in that bar the whole story xD
