So today, my favorite band The 1975 is having a concert and my grandpa told me I couldn't go.. so I'm sulking. BUT I finished my junior year of high school Friday and I finally got my driving permit :)
"SOMEBODY GET IT!" Screamed Fuu.
"WHY THE HELL IS IT CHASING US?" Mugen yelled.
"NOT SURE, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE SHE LEANED AGAINST A FREAKING BEAR!" Soejima said sarcastically.
The quadruplet was calmly walking through the forest, making their way back to Nagasaki when Fuu began complaining about being tired. She leaned up against what she thought was a tree and sighed. The males looked at her, scared to actually say anything that could provoke the creature that she was lying against. Fuu, on the other hand, did not notice that she had screwed up big time. She opened her eyes and looked at the men who had their mouths wide open. She began to chuckle, as they looked terrified.
"What? never seen a girl lean up against a tree before?" She joked.
"Nah, never seen a girl lean up against a bear," Mugen said and then ran.
Jin and Soejima began stepping back as Fuu finally realized the soft stuff she felt wasn't moss. She slowly rose up from her position and turned around to see a very angry bear. Slowly, she grabbed her sword, whacked the poor bear on its head and ran. Jin and Soejima looked at each other in disbelief and began running as well.
"SOMEBODY GET IT!" Screamed Fuu.
"WHY THE HELL IS IT CHASING US?" Mugen yelled.
"NOT SURE, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE SHE LEANED AGAINST A FREAKING BEAR!" Soejima said sarcastically.
"I CAN DO WITHOUT THE SARCASM RIGHT NOW SOE!"
"1. DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN AND 2. THAT WAS A REALLY DUMB QUESTION!" Soejima scoffed.
Fuu pointed out an old abandon house and the quadruplet ran inside. Soejima sighed as he slammed the door closed and slid down it. The room was filled with nothing but exhausted breathing. A couple of minutes of silence, Fuu began laughing. The males looked at the bizarre little girl that was practically dying on the tatami floor from the lack of breath. She sat up, smile still on her face until she looked at the males that looked like they were ready to kill her.
"What?.." Her eyes shift between the three of them.
"What the hell are you laughing about?" Mugen harshly asked.
"Come on.. that was a little fun, don't you think so?" She smiled at them.
"WHAT PART OF THAT WAS FUN? YOU HIT A DAMN BEAR WITH YOUR SWORD! HE COULD HAVE KILLED US!" Mugen yelled.
"Calm down Mugen," Jin said quietly.
Mugen rolled his eyes, crossed his arms, and turned away from Fuu as he began sulking in the corner. Soejima sighed again and rubbed his temples. This girl's completely nuts he thought as he looked at the girl who sat there talking to Jin. Soejima always looked at Fuu when she wasn't looking, silently admiring her beauty. He softly chuckled at his self as his train of thought was diminished by snapping. He turned his head towards the sound and found Mugen snapping at him. Soejima frowned and Mugen returned the face expression.
"What Mugen?" Soejima couldn't hide the bite that came out.
Mugen didn't answer him, he just simply moved his attention to Fuu. Soejima watched his eyes move to the very person he was just looking at. The two of them watched Fuu in a silence before they turned back to each other, frowned, and looked away.
Later that night, Mugen laid there, staring at the ceiling that's caging him in. He didn't understand why, but he couldn't sleep and that bothered him. He sighed and sat up, looking over his companions. He looked at Fuu and immediately felt disgusted. Why do I keep looking at her? He thought to his self. Mugen rolled his eyes and stood up, making his way out the door and into the forest.
He just needed to clear his head. As he walked through the forest, he began hearing footsteps. Now alert, Mugen slowly brought out his swords and began surveying the area. The noise he heard grew louder and louder. Mugen smirked and got into his fighting stance, ready to slice anything that came into his view. What Mugen wasn't ready for was a person to walk out the bushes.
"Hey, you're that one girl that knew Soejima's brother.." Mugen relaxed.
Hikari nodded her head as if she was unable to speak. Mugen began to feel suspicious as she stepped closer to him. His once relaxed hands began to tense up with each step she made.
"Please sir, you have to find him." Hikari cried out.
Mugen stared Hikari down as she fell to the ground in tears. He was confused and wondering why she had followed them.
"If-If you don't find him.. they'll kill me." She cried out.
"...Who will?" Mugen asked, still clenching his sword, waiting for anyone to jump out at him.
Hikari never answered, instead she jumped up and ran away. Mugen called out to her, but she never stopped. He began following her before running into a spider web. He immediately stopped and swatted the invisible webs that he felt on his face away. Once he was done and composed, he realized that he was back at the abandoned house and she was nowhere to be found.
The next day, the quadruplet found themselves yet, at another tea shop, sitting there silently as possible. Mugen sat there confused as he played the scene from last night over and over again in his head. There were way too many questions and certainly not even one answer. Mugen grabbed his hair and laid his forehead on the table.
"Mugen?" Fuu softly said.
"What's wrong with this idiot?" Soejima thought he said lowly enough that only he could hear it.
"Can it, Soe," Mugen said, refusing to even bring his head up to look at Soejima.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
"What did you see last night, Mugen?"
Everyone turned their attention to Jin. He had his eyes closed, as usual, sipping his tea. Mugen's eyebrow rose up as he questioned how Jin knew he left last night.
"What do you mean? You saw something last night, Mugen?" Fuu questioned.
Mugen told them all that happened last night and once everyone knew, the same confused expression that was on Mugen's face, were now on their faces as well. The four of them sat there, deciding what to say next.
"I'm confused.. did she follow us? And who's trying to kill her?" Fuu opened her mouth first.
"More importantly, who's after Shinobu?" Soejima questioned.
"Where did she go, Mugen?" Fuu asked.
Mugen got into his signature position, head up to the ceiling, arms in the back and eyes closed.
"I told you, I followed her after she ran away but ran straight into a spider web. Once I looked up, I realized that she led me back to the house and she was nowhere to be found. I have to say, it spooked me out a little bit, that 'poof' she was gone."
"Didn't you hear, there's ghosts in this town?"
The four of them looked up at the old man. He had to be older than 60, with his spine curving and squinting eyes, you'll think he need to be somewhere laying down, and not trying to entertain a bunch of young adults. The old man smiled and showcased his gums.
"There are?" Jin asked.
"OF COURSE! Her name is Juro-Gumo and she's a beautiful woman who's actually spider! She seduces men, makes them follow her, wraps them up in her web, poisons, and eats them !" The old man spits out.
"Oh really?" Jin didn't look too amused.
"I wasn't seduced nor have I been 'eaten'." Mugen scoffed.
"You weren't seduced, you say. If you weren't, why did you follow her?!" The old man interrogated.
"BECAUSE SHE...uh..SHE WAS WEIRD!" Mugen tried to defend his self.
The old man slowly made his way over to Mugen and hit his head with his cane. Mugen shouted and glared at the old man. The elder made his way back over to his original spot and opened his eyes, looking the quadruplet.
"Beware of Juro-Gumo...Now, let's get to your bill."
