Authoress' Notes: Wow, look everybody I'm not dead. Sorry it took me soo long to get anything out but I've been struggling with a horrid case of writers block. I'm using this to try and get my creative juices flowing again, so if this sucks I'm sorry. It's also my first attempt at Mugen, which in my mind is one of the hardest characters to get down. So yeah, anyways enough of my rambling. Enjoy!

Enigmatic Endings : Part II

It's really fucked up how things turn out. I always figured that bastard Jin would be the one to do me in. Sure didn't think it would be this little pussy. Look at him, standing there, breathing hard like it took so much energy to pull a fucking trigger. Hell yeah I'm old but I didn't think I had lost that much but I guess I did.

The wound is bad, I can see that much from just the amount of blood pooling around my feet. And yet for some reason this time doesn't feel as bad as last time when that cripple bastard shot me on the beach. I doubt I'll wake up this time to that bitch's voice.

Fuu...wow it's been a long time since I saw her.

Fuck this floor is so sticky...how did I end up down here?

Oh man not you fuckers again. Stupid crow men are you finally gonna take me this time?

"Mugen..."

Fuu...

It's actually her, standing there at those crossroads just like the last time I saw her. I never thought it would feel this good just to see her.

"Mugen. It's almost time." She says, smiling back at me and for a moment she looks like someone else. Someone wise and full of beauty, the type of beauty that only age can give a woman. In the next moment it's gone though and she's back to normal.

"Time for what?"

"Time to go. Now just be patient."

"Well you just asked if I was ready." She's already starting to get on my nerves. "Will you make up your mind!"

"You jerk, we have to wait just a little while longer."

"What the fuck are supposed to be waiting on?"

And there is that other woman again. Looking back at me with such a sad and yet warm smile. Off in the distance I hear those dam crows flying around, and it hits me like another bullet just why she's here, why we're here together.

"Jin, we can't leave without Jin."
