Fuu opened her eyes slowly. She's not hurt, better yet not dead. She took a deep breath of relief but Mugen was not. He was on the ground, blood coming out of his leg. Mugen was shot. Fuu didn't know what to do. She kept her calm when she actually wanted to freak out. Mugen wasn't awake.

"Oh damn, damn, damn" she says. Her house was not that far away but it is going to be hard to drag Mugen without hurting him more. Fuu dug in her pocket and pulled out a handkerchief. She wrapped it around the wound placing a bit of pressure on it. Fuu held it there for about five minutes. Even if Mugen is a killer or other bad things, Fuu couldn't just leave him on the ground alone. The person who shot Mugen might come back to see if he is dead or not. Fuu couldn't let that happen when she knows she could help him. with all of her strength she had, Fuu did her best to carry Mugen to her house.

She opens the front door quietly and went up the stairs. Hitachi wasn't home. He might be out with his co-workers or something. She laid Mugen on the bed. Fuu went in the bathroom and wet a wash cloth. Fuu went through the medicine cabinet finding alcohol pads. She returned to Mugen, first cleaning the wound with the cloth then used the pad. There was blood on her bed but she'll worry about that later. Mugen moved which scared Fuu a little but she continued.

"All done" Fuu whispers. She left her bedroom to the living room. There was an envelope on the coffee table that looks like to have her name on it. However, she looks at it again and saw that it was for her father. Fuu stared at it for a moment then picked it up. She considered opening it but Hitachi might….Forget that. She opened it.

Inside of the envelope was a letter and money. A lot of money at that. About six one hundred dollar bills were inside. Fuu's eyes became wide as she counted the money. Then she glanced at the letter. She picked it up to read it but a sound came from upstairs. Mugen is waking up. Fuu put everything back and went to check on Mugen.

Mugen was standing in the bathroom, staring at his reflection. He sighs and sat on the edge of the tub. His leg was killing him. If he had a knife on him, Mugen could easily take the bullet out as he has done hundreds of times before. The last thing he remembers was a figure coming out of the dark. Mugen was too slow at getting his gun but able to push Fuu out of the way. Why did he even protect her? He heard footsteps inside of the bedroom.

"Who the hell?"

Mugen got up and walked in the bedrrom. She was standing there, just staring at him. Fuu turned on the light to get a better look at him. In silence, they stared at each other not moving. Mugen walked to where Fuu was standing. He grabs her hand and brought Fuu closer, holding her tight. Mugen didn't know why, he just did it. Fuu was in shock but in a weird way felt like she was going to be okay. She didn't feel threatened or in harm. She put her arm around his neck and places her head on his chest. Now she doesn't know why, she just did. Soon common sense started to set in and Fuu moved away. Mugen turned his head towards the window.

"How are you feeling?" Fuu ask in a low tone.

"I got shot in the leg, what do you expect?" Mugen sigh.

"Well your fine if you're standing" Fuu sat on her bed as far away from Mugen as she could.

"What's your name?" Mugen ask eyes back on her.

"Kimzo Fuu and yours?"

Mugen didn't reply but he smiled. He was inside Kimzo Hitachi's home. Maybe this girl would be helpful. Mugen sat on the edge of the bed. Thoughts of the way he could use Fuu made him smile. Fuu stared at him curiously.

"It's Mugen."

"Mugen," Fuu said, "What are you?"

He ignored the question and changed the subject. "What were you doing out so late? That guy could've killed or rape you. Maybe both if he wanted. "

Fuu sighed and lay down. Burying her head in a pillow. Mugen couldn't hear what she mumbled but he like the way her body looked. He couldn't help but stare at it. He thought about what her skin felt like if he touched in her in sexual ways and the sounds he could make her say. It stuck in his mind. Mugen wanted to kiss her.

A light appears on the wall from the window. The sound of a car pulling up in the drive way made Fuu jump out of her bed. Her heart began to race. She stared at the window, to Mugen, then back out the window. The headlights turned off, the door opens. Hitachi steps out, walking to the house.

"Get out" Fuu says in a panic.

Mugen looks out of the window. His prime target is standing there clueless. He turns to see Fuu is begging and pleading eyes. He shrugs and follows her into the kitchen where the back door was. Fuu opened the door. Mugen doesn't want to leave. It was the perfect moment for him to kill Hitachi and move on with his life. Then he stares at Fuu.

Mugen grabs her by the waist and kisses her on the lips. Fuu stands in shock but enjoys the kiss. Against her better judgment. They stay like that until the front door opens.

Mugen runs out the door into the dark street, well runs with a limp. Fuu shuts the door, thinking about what just happened. It was confusing, she helped Mugen and soon gets all better like he was superman, and then they kiss. The kiss was wonderful, made her feel all warm inside, scary and crazy thing to say about a guy who kills.

"What's going on?" she mumbles, walking to her room.

She hears her dad go inside of his room, laughing with someone. The voice sounds female. The door shuts loudly. Fuu sighs of relief and thinks about Mugen and the letter. Maybe the two are connected. Oh well, Fuu falls asleep thinking about the kiss.

Mugen could still see the Kimzo house from the sidewalk. He has his target now so the rest that comes along should be easy. The moment he get back to his apartment, Mugen would call boss and tell him the news but leave things about Fuu and the incident out of it. Fuu. He wanted…no he couldn't have that now. Mugen walks to his place smiling.

The next day Mugen didn't get up until noon. His leg was killing him. He got off the couch, into the bathroom. In the drawer, there was a small knife. Mugen placed the knife on the counter and got a cloth. Taking the knife, Mugen digs the bullet out of his leg. The pain nearly made him scream. The bullet was deeper in his leg than he thought. It took him about three minutes for him to take it out.

Mugen goes to make breakfast (or lunch) as the phone rang. He let it ring about five times. The answering machine kicked in but no one said anything, the line went dead. It rings again. Mugen stares at it, on the fourth ring he answers.

"What?" Mugen grumbles.

"Is that anyway to talk to your friend?" Jin laughs.

Mugen scratched his hair and responds, "What do you want Jin?"

"Just wanted to tell you Boss sent me to Hitachi's house. He told me to get to know more about his daughter."

"Why the hell would he do that?" Mugen raised his voice.

"Don't know, I just do what I'm told. The only thing I know is Boss wanted her distracted. Wants me to know her better and get whatever information I can." Jin laughed, "Why does it matter? You're getting her father."

Mugen hung up the phone and threw it across the room. He stood there, not understanding why he is getting strong feelings for Fuu. He was just horney…Yeah Mugen just keep saying that.

He grabs the notebook off the table with the folder of photos Boss gave him. He wrote the names down on a separate piece of paper. Mugen wrote notes of what Boss have already told him and what to do to find them. One kill shot, that's all it takes. Hitachi, he has other plans for him.

Jin put the phone in his pocket after a shrug. He walked towards the house and rang the doorbell. Moments later Fuu opened the door, curiously staring at him/

"Can I help you?" she asks.

"Nope just wanted to say hi. I'm Jin, your new neighbor."
