Chapter 1: Love?
I took a wash cloth and dipped it in warm water. After I wrung it out I started the work that Mugen had rudely assigned me. That morning while I was asleep, Mugen and Jin had snuck out to go make some money. According to Mugen, they had found a place where samurais fought eachother for money, so they joined. Jin had gotten into a fight with a really swift guy and got really injured. Mugen had to carry him back to the hotel they were staying in and their shirts were covered in blood.
I know it was their own fault, but I couldn't just let Jin die. I wasn't cruel like Mugen.
A strange feeling came over me while I cleansed Jin's wounds. His figure was one that any girl would drool over and he looked so peaceful in his sleep. There was no frown like usual, but a kind of...happiness...
Blush came to my cheeks. What am I thinking like this for? Yeah, there was always a little bit of feelings for Jin in me. I really like him. But now I think I'm...falling head over heels...after all this time I've grown more and more attached to him...now do I really love him?
Jin stirred, pulling me from my thoughts.
"Fuu?" He asked.
"Yeah, Mister I'm-gonna-get-myself-in-trouble?" I answered, a little annoyed.
"What happened?" He asked, looking a little dizzy.
"Well, Mugen carried you back here after your little fight and ordered me to care for you." I pouted.
"Mugen?" Jin asked in disbelief.
"Yep." I sighed. "I guess as long as it's a way to torture me he dosen't care."
"Hmm." He said and fell back asleep.
I sighed inwardly. I wanted to talk to Jin more. It felt like I was going crazy. He was right there in front of me and my body kept urging me to hug or kiss him, along with my heart. But my mind was the smart one and held me back. The struggle in me was driving me insane.
Finally I reached over and grabbed the wash cloth and put it back into the bucket of water. I was getting out of that room. After looking back at Jin one last time I left, not knowing where I was going to go.
