Summary: Little things slip by unseen. Two pairs of eyes flicker in the firelight.
If there was one thing Jin could not stand it was stupidity.
But the really sad part, the really really honest-to-god sad part... was that he was the one being stupid.
Most unforgivable.
And the most unforgivable sad part was that it was because of her. All her fault that he was in this horrible state of unforgivable stupidity.
Mugen jerked upright as he heard Jin curse beside him. His eyes scanned the dark woods around them, saw nothing, twitched and glanced at Jin.
"What's your problem?" Mugen saw Jin shift in surprise and frowned. What was the damn samurai thinking about so hard that he'd been surprised by Mugen? In the dim firelight Mugen saw Jin's expression change from surprise to the blank slate Mugen was so used to seeing.
"Nothing. Go to sleep." Mugen scowled and averted his eyes. Almost instantly his eyes settled on Fuu's slight form. She slept on her side facing away from the small fire and toward the woods. And she was snoring. Mugen suppressed a smile. The firelight made her skin look orange and soft.
Hurriedly he looked away. Jin was watching the fire, his glasses reflecting the flames and the darkness around them. For just a second Mugen thought he saw the normally stoic features soften.
It must have been a trick of the light or something for a second later Jin was again staring expressionlessly into the fire.
Fuu shifted in her sleep and two pairs of eyes moved in the firelight.
