The battle continued to rage on between Mugen and the mysterious new figure. Jin had his sword out, deflecting those spinning blades that come towards him and Fuu, so he wasn't getting involved with the fight that was commencing in front of him. What he was trying to figure out was how the mysterious figure was able to dodge those blades herself and still be able to fight Mugen at the same time. Mugen on the other hand didn't know whether to kill this woman or not. She had the exact same name as the woman whose earrings he wore. But, that was impossible, he knew that she couldn't be alive; he had been feeling guilty for her death ever since that day┘ Flashback
"Mugen, are you sure it's safe?" asked a young girl with dark brown hair to her shoulders and silver eyes. This girl was getting on a raft made from simple logs and rope and a younger looking Mugen was helping her on.
"Of course it is. You won't last another day on this Island. Listen, I promised I'd protect you and the only way I can do that is to get you the hell away from this Island! I'll follow you after, I don't have enough logs for another raft and that one is only strong enough for you. Don't worry, I'll come for you," Mugen said as he was about to unhook the rope holding the raft to the shore.
"You better, Mugen! Don't let Kohza's appearance fool you, I don't trust her! Wait, one more thing," the young girl pulled out a long piece of cloth from her pack and hands it to Mugen, "I worked really hard on it." Mugen unwrapped the cloth to find what would be his favorite sword in the future. Then he saw the young girl take off her blue earrings and handed them to Mugen, "What are you doing?" She smiled, "I don't want you to die on me. I know you Mugen, you don't give a rat's ass about anyone here, but I want you to remember that I'll be waiting for you. I don't want to be separated from my big brother for too long." "Heh, don't worry about it! You just hang on and make sure no one sees you," Mugen then starts to untie the raft.
The girl glares at him, "Mugen, I'm on a raft with no hiding places. How am I supposed to not let them see me?" "Hey! You want to get out of here or not!" Mugen then kicks off the raft and it goes out into the water.
"Hey you!!!" came voices from far into the woods.
Mugen turned around, "Oh shit." Mugen then heard a scream from behind him and saw that a storm was picking up and pushing his sister off the raft. She was barely hanging on, "MUGEN!!!!!!!!!!" The men had caught up to Mugen and grabbed him. Mugen was already struggling to get free and when a wave went up and knocked the raft out of sight he screamed himself, "NOOOO REN!!!" End Flashback
Mugen had just dodged out of the way of one of those flying blades in the air. It did catch his cheek and now he was pissed off. Maybe he shouldn't be having flashbacks during a battle with a tough opponent. He took his sword and slashed it at the figures head and as they ducked it cut off their straw hat revealing their face. Mugen froze when he saw the face; it looked exactly like his younger sister.
"Mugen, WATCH OUT!" yelled Fuu as she saw one of those blades going at Mugen's head.
Mugen?' thought the figure as she saw her old earrings, Oh no, Mugen'
She went up and pushed Mugen out of the way as she blocked her own blades and hurled it to the ground, but she didn't see the other one coming up from behind as it slashed her shoulder spraying her blood everywhere. Jin had finally stopped all the blades and all four were on the ground and no longer a threat. The woman fell to the ground dropping her sword.
Jin walked up to her and checked for her vitals, "She's unconscious." Mugen pushed Jin out of the way and turned her over to see a necklace sticking out. It was a stone with the kanji for Ren' on it. It was the same necklace he made for his sister years ago, this was his sister! But, it was impossible; she died that day, didn't she? "Hey, if you don't want to do anything else for me, help me with her." "Mugen, who is she?" Fuu asked as she and Jin started helping her up.
Mugen sighed and looked at her face, "She's my Sister okay? I thought she died years ago, but I guess not." "Let's get her out of here and we'll treat her wounds," Jin said as they all ran off with Ren's body looking for shelter once again.
