Chapter 8
Whilst in the elevator, Mugen whistled an annoying tune, placing his hands on the back of his head and watching the numbers above the doors get higher.
Shino smiled, trying to keep her laugh in and Jin's eye twitched. He tried to keep a reserved manner; but Mugen naturally had that attitude which annoyed him. He looked to the floor and noticed it was quite wet. He assumed it was from the rain the previous night.
When Jin was just about to burst, the doors opened and Mugen stepped out fiddling with his keys. He walked over to the solitary door on the top floor and unlocked it, walking in smugly.
"Mugen! I can't believe you!" She screamed jumping off the sofa and over to the door. She froze and looked away when Shino and Jin stepped through the door.
"Don't get ya panties in a twist! Or should I say mine…" He laughed loudly at her embarrassment and turned around. "I'll be back a bit later…"
Once he left the apartment, Fuu motioned Shino and Jin to sit on the sofa, where she sat on her knees in front of them. She inhaled and exhaled a few times before telling them exactly what happened.
She told them everything; her fathers beatings, the attempted rape, his jealousy of Mugen, and his words about her mother.
She had only let a few tears escape this time, it seemed it calmed over time, but when she looked up and saw a shocked expression on the usual, straight-faced samurai, and tears flowing from Shino's eyes; they started her own tears once more.
"Fuu! I had no idea it was that bad…!" Shino whined letting tears escape.
"You don't know if he took your virginity or not?" Jin stated, looking sorrowful for her.
She shook her head slowly looking down at her knees. "He… entered… but I don't know… I suppose… he did…"
Shino jumped from her seat and grabbed Fuu in an embrace. She held her tight for a few minutes then walked her into Mugen's bedroom. "I'll take you to the doctors… they'll know… grab his clothes…" She said wildly hunting through his wardrobe.
After she grabbed a cap to wear on her head for disguise and a pair of his black shorts, she walked into the room where Jin sat quietly.
"We're going to the doctors… can you wait here? We won't be gone long…" Shino said to Jin hugging him goodbye.
"Of course…" He answered as they headed out the door.

"Yo… it's me again…" Mugen said down his phone. He was walking down the winding alleys where he searched for Fuu the night before.
"Mugen? How can I help…?" a woman answered.
"Well… if she's gonna be stayin' with me I need her clothes… as good as she looks in mine…" He said grinning down the phone.
"Come over straight away… he isn't in at the moment… he's been out for hours, searching for her…" Fuu's mother answered.
"I'll be there…" He closed his phone and took off in a slight jog.

"… hello father…" Jin spoke into his own phone.
"Yes Jin? Is there something wrong…?"
"A member of Ryukyu requires the consent for the assassination of the Shogunate leader. His name is Kasumi Umanosuke…"
"Isn't that your friend's father?"
"Yes"
"You know how it works Jin. We need proof first, when you have proof, call back… I'll have the paper work ready in the hour."
"Thank you father…"
Jin hung up the phone and remained seated. He searched his phone for Mugen's number, which he had stored a few months back due to an important call between the police and Ryukyu.
"Yo… what do ya want?" He answered rudely. Jin could hear the cars drive past in the background. He was certain he knew where he was going.
"Why are you going to Fuu's?"
"I hate that mind readin' shit you pull! I'm getting' her clothes… she's gonna live with me!"
Jin sighed. He had expected this, but was unsure of Mugen's loyalty and reasons for helping her so much. "To get the order, you need proof he belongs to Shogunate. While you're going there, snoop around for some…"
"I hear ya…" He hung up.

"Kasumi Fuu?" The nurse called from her room near the back of the small clinic.
When they walked into the room, they took a seat in front of her desk and waited for the nurse to search her previous records.
"How can I help you Miss Kasumi?"
"Um… well…"
Shino interrupted sensing her friend's feelings. "She was drunk last night and woke up with some man. She wants to know if she's still a virgin… and if not, is she all right?"
Fuu mentally noted to thank Shino later for her good idea. "I see… well lie on the bed please…" The nurse said standing up and pointing towards the bed. Fuu lay down, feeling nauseous and waited for the nurse to pull the curtain around the bed. Shino sat with her eyes closed and her hands together; praying for her friend's sake.
After five minutes the curtain opened and Fuu was sitting up silently crying. Shino feared the worst and ran over to hug her. "He… he didn't take it!" She cried smiling happily.
Shino, in return, smiled back and dried Fuu's eyes. "Thank you…" Shino called over to the nurse with a smile.

"Hello Mugen…" The woman called opening the door for him to step through.
"Yo…"
They both walked up the stairs and into Fuu's room. Her mother didn't have the courage to walk in until Mugen came. When they went in, they both felt their sadness and rage boil. A vase's remains layed over the floor and bed while the covers were askew. A small pool of blood was by Fuu's window, at the other side of the bed.
He walked forwards and grabbed a long dance bag from Fuu's chair. It was big enough for him to fit her clothes in so he pulled the zip and opened her wardrobe.
He threw all of her clothes on the bed after Fuu's mother pull the covers straight and dusted the glass off. He sifted through her clothes and folded them into her bag. Once he closed the bag, after grabbing her make-up and jewellery box, he threw the open bag over his shoulder. He was pleased her bag was plain black; otherwise he would look strange walking through the streets with something girly.
He grinned at her mother who understood why he put specific clothes in the bag and left others. Her mother had left him alone to pack her bag while she grabbed some shampoo and body wash which smelt sweet. She knew Mugen would have her smelling like a man unintentionally.
She came back with a smaller bag filled with some useful items and a small gift which Mugen didn't know of.
"Take this… She'll need it…" she handed him the bag and he pushed it in the bag and zipped up the contents.
"Show me his office…" Mugen said after a silence. She looked up at him wide eyed then nodded.
After unlocking the door; Mugen strode in and took in the room's layout. You couldn't tell what colour the walls were for pictures of Fuu. Baby photo's, photos of her getting changed, photos with her friends, photos of her dancing, photos of her doing simple things like walking or reading… there were even photos with him. Only, these photos had his head crossed out or a picture of her father in his place.
"The sick bastard needs help or slaughtering… whichever comes first…" Mugen said through gritted teeth. Her mother nodded sadly and walked out of the room. She couldn't handle being in there. He took this opportunity to go through his drawers, he needed proof… desperately.
Finally, he came across the small dagger all the Shogunate members carry with them. They took it as identity; Mugen took it as evidence. He zipped it in the bag when Fuu's mother rushed in the room.
"Mugen!" She whispered rushed. "He's back…!"
Mugen rushed out the room and her mother locked it. He ran in Fuu's room and opened the window to jump out of it. Her mother had been sorting Fuu's room out to make it seem like nothing had been moved. She closed the almost empty wardrobe and then closed the window when Mugen had vanished.
He didn't suspect a thing…

Jin had almost fallen asleep due to boredom; so when the front door sounded, he jumped a bit and stood up. Shino and Fuu had come back half an hour later, so they didn't get shouted at for putting Fuu in danger. They all sat smiling until Jin perked up and asked how it went. A truly awful situation for Jin…
"Well…?"
"…well what?" Fuu asked innocently. Shino and Fuu came up with a plan to make Jin embarrassed so they could have fun like old times.
"How did it go…?"
"…did … what go?" Shino asked, looking on the edge of laughter.
Jin shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "The doctors…"
"Oh… well we didn't wait long, they have fresh flowers up at reception… and little lolly pops…" Fuu giggle showing Jin her half sucked lollypop.
"What about you…?" He was determined to get a straight answer.
"…what about me…?"
Jin finally lost his nerve. "Did he take your virginity?!"
Fuu and Shino burst out laughing at his outburst and began to cry.
"Hahaha! Nope!" Fuu smiled still laughing.
Jin sighed from frustration and relief when the door opened ruggedly. When Mugen came in with a bag over his shoulder, part of him expected tears and hugs… 'a bunch of girly crap'; but not Fuu lying on her back laughing loudly with Shino who sat next to an agitated Jin.
He was silent for a moment until Fuu looked over to him. She was smiling, her usual, wide, kind smile. She didn't have that broken look anymore and she was wearing more of his clothes and a cap. He was envious of Jin and Shino for having restored her smile; he personally wanted to be the one to do so…
"Mugen! Where were you?" She asked smiling his way as she stood up.
"Where did ya go?" He asked in response. He wanted to be alone with her when he told her where he went and what was in the bag. He'd wait till they went first.
"Wha-? How did you know?"
"Why else are ya wearin' more clothes and a cap?" He smirked at her pout for figuring her out then turned the tables. "It's dangerous for ya to go out yet…"
"… I'll have to sometime though…" She said losing some smile and frowning.
"Cheer up…" He said walking overt to her, taking her cap off, and rubbing her head so her hair was a mess. She regained her smiled and turned around to face him.
"Mugen!"
She stopped when he handed a dagger over to Jin and smiled wickedly. Jin simply nodded and stood up holding Shino's hand.
"We should go now Shino…" He said simply, walking towards the door and opening it. "Goodbye Fuu… Mugen…"
Shino whined a little but followed after a sad wave at Fuu. Fuu turned around to find Mugen leaning on the back of the sofa staring at her. He walked forwards and placed the big bag on the table.
"So where did ya go?"
"…The doctors…" She smiled happily.
"Why're ya so happy?"
"Because… he… he didn't take my… you know…"
Mugen's eyebrows rose higher and he grinned at her. "Good to hear brat…"
"Mugen…" She pouted at the nickname but she knew he was happy for her. She walked over and sat down next to him at the table and examined the bag like a dog would. She poked her nose towards it and closely looked at it. "What's in the bag?" She asked turning her attention to him.
"Well…" He stood up and opened the bag pulling out the little bag her mother gave him and her make-up box to place in front of her. Next he pulled out the little white dress he had commented on and sent her a mischievous smile.
"Mugen!? Why do you have my stuff? Is this my bag?!" She stood up staring at him strangely.
"I brought ya stuff over… ya can't wear mine forever…"
"But… I… I don't understand…"
"Ya livin' with me… ya have no choice…"
Fuu would have come back with a clever remark but she was stunned. She stood there wide eyed, mouth parted in shock. She was ecstatic about the thought but couldn't help thinking it was out of pity. She didn't want his pity… she wanted his love.
"Mugen… thank you… but… I don't need your pity…" Her eyes were concealed by her hair and she walked past him into his room. She took off his pants and laid them on the bed.
"Who said this was pity girly?" He said coming up behind her and slipping his hands under the top she wore and around her waist. She gasped at the contact then lost all thought when he moved her hair behind her and began to suck on her neck.
"Mu-" She gasped again from his precise attention to her pulse point on her neck. Her mind became blank. She couldn't concentrate on anything except how good he was making her feel. His hands wondered down her hips onto her thighs and his sucking evolved into a soft bite making her moan. One of his hands rose to her opposite cheek and pushed her head to face him while the other turned her body.
He pulled her closer to him and captured her lips with his own. She was surprised to find that her usual scared reflexes weren't working, leaving her unsure of how to react. He bit her lip making her part so his tongue was slipped into her mouth. He deepened the kiss grabbing her neck and rubbing his thumb in a circle. She closed her eyes and began to kiss him back, giving him the confidence to place his other hand over her rounded bum.
She pulled away breathing heavily, while he still hovered around her lips, brushing them with his own. "Mugen…?"
He reached up to her forehead and kissed her gently before pulling away. She noticed the smug smile on his face before he turned around and left the room. She put her fingers to her swollen lips and grazed them confused. He has just stolen her first true kiss. She was pleased she didn't open her mouth to her step-father, because that kiss was worth it…
He came back in the room making her snap out of her trance and look over to him. She had a little smile on her lips, which told him she had enjoyed it as much as him. "So ya stayin'?" He asked her confidently placing her bag on the bed.
She looked over to him and nodded smiling.
"Good… 'cause I'd love to see ya in this…" He said comically pulled out the small white dress which he favoured and gave her a cheeky grin.
Fuu sighed and took the dress from him, holding it up to her eye level. She decided to let him see… it was a special occasion after all… she was moving in with him.
