Just Another Day in the Life

A/N: Okay, so my OCD is tingling like Spiderman's freaking Spider-senses because I didn't use the lyrics in the order that they appear in the song. They jump around. A lot. I like to be able to listen to a song during a song-fic where the lyrics are used and still be able to follow along. But I don't really suggest that with this one because you'll be skipping around so much, people will think your iPod is busted. I just figured I'd give you a fair warning. This one was probably the most fun to write, though, in spite of myself. Also, I figured since some of the things I have Mugen and Fuu say can be considered OOC (because they are the lyrics, they're pretty easy to spot), I decided to put them in italics. Enjoy.

PS: another fair warning, this chapter gets pretty heated…but not too heated =3

"Tap That" by Erin McCauley

"Don't play dumb, you know you wanted to." Mugen looked down at her, hands on her slender hips. They were submerged under the hot-spring's surface, and instantly her flesh broke out in goosebumps from his cold fingers.

"I'm the boss, keep that in your head." She replied, eyes hooded to try and take the attention away from her burning cheeks.

He smirked at her courage. No bitch talked to him like that unless they wanted to pay the consequences. The steep, steep consequences. "I'ma teach you how to scream my name," he breathed into her ear, making her bristle and tear away from his hands. "You're never gonna get away from me."

She spun around and gave him a bold look. "Yeah, I kinda like that." Another blush blossomed across her face and she bit her lip, shocked at how daring the saké was making her.

She was sick of taking Mugen's taunts (he was already drunk at the time, to be fair) about what a lightweight she was. So to shut him up, she went shot for shot with him in the restaurant attached to their inn. It was easily the biggest mistake of her young life. By the third one, she could already feel her face warming and a pleasant haze wash over her. She'd stolen away to the hot-spring out back in order to sober up a little bit. But, of course, Mugen had followed her, drunk as a skunk and looking for Fuu to make good on the shameless flirting she was doing. "Come on over here and play with me…let me be your dirty fantasy."

He waded through the delectably hot waters and stood in front of her, peering down his nose and into her big brown eyes. Even though he was only 4 years her senior, she still looked so young and innocent parked in front of him like that. He wanted to do something about it. He wanted to dirty her up a bit. It wasn't everyday he had that opportunity with a samurai's daughter – ronin or not, he wasn't into details.

"Show me I'm the one and only –"

"I'ma show you something new, baby." He interrupted, brushing his rough hand against the delicate flesh of her face. Her round, youthful face. "Then we can do what you really wanna do."

She placed a hand on the wrist near her mouth, tasting its pulse. "I'm the boss, keep that in your head." She repeated, feeling the need to reiterate that fact. This was Mugen – gentle was not in his regular vocabulary, nor in his regular practice. "Maybe we can do something that sometimes leads to other things…?"

"Yeah." He grunted, dropping the hand on her cheek in order to grab her hand and lead her back to the water's edge. "I kinda want that." He plopped down on the ledge in front of her.

"Show me all about that." She insisted.

Mugen reached under the water and hooked his arms underneath her knees, dragging her until she sat astride him. "Show me you got what it takes to come with me and do it tonight." He countered.

Her heart was pounding, but she remembered his taunts back in the restaurant and found her nerve again. She wouldn't let him win. She couldn't. "I'ma teach you how to scream my name."

Mugen cocked a brow suggestively, and before Fuu knew what was happening, his mouth was covering hers in a rough and demanding kiss.

A/N: I'm sorry for leaving you hanging like that. But I had to end it there because I would like to keep this as a T rating. Mind you, this is a high T rating, but I don't think it's really M material just yet. Use your imagination if you want more – does Fuu suddenly come to her senses and run away, or does Mugen complete his mission of dirtying her up a bit? (Hint: he totally does…c'mon it's Mugen) =3

Oh, and I couldn't take my Spider-senses screeching at me anymore, so I went back and edited this thing so that it followed the order of the damn song. I'm happy and my Spider-senses have since retreated back into the deep recesses of my subconscious.
