(Jin's POV)
She sat there in tears before me,the little girl I once knew the one I never paid attention.the girl who i had
caused so much pain.She was sitting before me now asking for one thing.
"Rin." i said lifting her chin tears were streaming down her face."yes." she said between tears,
I nodded.

(Mugen's PoV)
I was glad for the interuption it had brought me back to my senses.That was fuu I was with.FUU!
I rubbed my head.
I was back at the Inn on the floor the room was light with the sun shining through the window but yet it was still cool.
Fuu was asleep on the bed with Kuku and Jin...I didnt know where he was and to tell he truth I didnt give a damn
I sat up and stretched.
My head hurt I kept thinking of last night.I finally pushed it off.I figured that it would be time for Fuu to get to work
in a little while.I stood up over the bed.Fuu looked peaceful sleeping with Kuku on her chest.They were both snoring softly
at the same time,I found that amusing.Fuu had changed from the kimono she had last night and her hair was down.
I didnt want to wake Kuku because I knew if she went down to the kitchen she'd leave him with me.
"Fuu." I called.
Fuu didnt anwser.
"Fuu!" i said a little louder.
She still didnt anwser.
I tapped her cheek.
Fuu's eyes opened."What?" she said sleepily.
"You gotta work get ready."
"Oh yeah." "Can you get him?' she said nodding her head to Kuku.
I picked up Kuku from off of Fuu and she sat up and stretched.
"Jin never came back?" she asked looking around.
"Nope." I said laying Kuku back down on the bed.
"oh...she said looking disappointed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since i had already washed up last night I just washed my face,brushed my teeth and headed to the kitchen.
I was quite comfortable with leaving Kuku with Mugen but I couldnt take him with me.Where was Jin?Where had he gone after he came
from Mai's?Had he even came from mai's?
I sighed it seemed like it was a longer walk to the kitchen but I knew it was just my mind playing tricks.
When i finally got to the kitchen i didnt see anyone.I looked around for a while and when i still didnt see anyone I decided I
must be early so I sat down and closed my eyes.it seemed like an hour had gone by when someone tapped my shoulder.
"Fuu?" It was Mai's voice.
I stood up.
"Im sorry I was kinda tired and I didnt see anyone." i said dusting off the back of my kimono.
"It's o.k but we really have to get to work." Mai said.
"Where's Rin?" I asked.
"She hasant come yet and Midori isnt feeling well enough so it's just me and you right now and there's alot of work to do." Mai replied washing her hands.
"Oh...
Mai smiled. "Dont look so worried it's not that bad."
"I look worried?" i asked.
"You look like you've seen a ghost or something." she said.
"Well im not feeling so well."
"No you cant bail on me too." mai said putting her hand on my forehead.
"You feel fine." she said taking her hand back.
"yeah im sure."I said sarcastically.
For the next few hours me and Mai cooked,served,and cleaned.
Rin showed up when we were just cleaning the last dishes.
"Im soooooooo sorry im late!" she said rushing in.
"Your beyond late!" Mai said.
"I know I know." Rin said."I had alot-no it's just...
"We'll talk about it later." mai said."Right now you can run some errands for me and ill need you back before lunch." Mais saod handing Rin a piece of paper.
I couldnt help but notice Rin looked so much happie and she didnt even seem to mind that mai was mad.
I wished Midori was here so we could talk about what we thought Mai would say and where Rin had been.
I was getting ready to head back up to my room so i could get Kuku and Mugen could go.I washed my hands.
"Were done right?' I asked mai who was leaning on the counter whith her head in her hands.
mai didnt anwser.
"Mai?" I said again.
"Fuu do you have a minute?"She said after a while.
"um...well i have to get back up stairs but I can spare a minute i guess."
"Well i guess this isnt really the time." Mai said sighing and standing straight.
"The time for what?" I asked.
"I'll speak to you about it later after dinner you can go on now." she said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well I have a story i think you might wanna hear." Mai said walking out the kitchen door.
I stood there for a minute.
A story?I might want to her it?
Things were sure getting weird.
I headed back up to our room.I braced my self for what i might see when i got there.i prepared for the worst.i imagined
Mugen had thrown Kuku out the window for crying or scratching him.Or he was "teaching him to be a man".
I took a deep breath and opened the door.
I didnt see Mugen or Kuku but I saw Jin by standing over the bed.He looked up when he heard me open the door.
"Where's Kuku?" i asked.
"I dont know when I cam back here an didnt see himI assumed he was with you." Jin replied looking down.
"He's not with me I left him with Mugen!" i said getting alittle scared.
I was about to rush out the door but I noticed something on the bed it looked like some sort of band.
"What's that?" i asked forgetting about Kuku for a second.
"It's nothing." Jin said putting the band on his hand.
"Are you going to go look for them?" Jin asked.
I jumped apparently I had been in a daze something was strange.
I nodded and opened the door.
"Um...do you wanna come?" I asked.
Jin didnt anwser he just followed me.
"So where should we look first?" Jin asked.
"Knowing Mugen a brother,but I dont think he'd take Kuku there." I said but for some reason that's not what I thought the thought
of Mugen taking Kuku to a brothel and using him as a payment of some kind kept crossing my mind.
When we got outside I took a deep breath and gathered my courage.
"Jin where were you last night?"I asked.
"If you must know I went back to our room,where were you?"Jin asked.
I blushed."I was watching the stars with Kuku and...Mugen."
"Hm..."Jin said.
"Do you ever feeli like someones watching or following you?"Jin asked.
"um...well last night when me and Kuku were at the lake it did feel kinda scary but i dont know."
"We cant st-
I didnt really listen to the last thing Jin said because I heard shrieks and they sounded like they came from near by.
Jin pointed to the lake.
I rushed towards the lake running as fast as I could.I cut my leg on a bush but I didnt stop until i had reached the lake.
When I finally got there I stopped to take a breath then I looked around.I didnt see anyone at first but that was because
my vision was blurry.
I blinked and looked around again Mugen and Kuku were sitting near the lake Kuku's hair was drenched.
"What are you doing to him?" I yelled.
"Cool it Fuu he's fine plus he likes it." Mugen said without even turning around.
Kuku did seem to be enjoying himself but Mugen water and a bay just didnt mix.
"Why did you take him here in the first place?" I asked standing up straight now.
"he was obviously bored and well he likes water so...
"So you had a nice streak." i said smiling.
By now Jin had caught up with me I hadnt realized I had been running that fast.
"Where have you been?" Mugen asked standing up.
"O.k you guys can go through your formalities later I need Kuku we are gonna go visit Midori and you guys have work anyways."I said holding out my arms out to Mugen.
"Watch out!" Jin said pusing me with one hand and catching something with the other.
I fell to the ground.
"Hm...So you want her to see you die?"A voice said it came from the biggest tree near the lake.
"Who hell are you!" mugen yelled.
"Dont worry about that im not after you." the voice replied.
"Huh?' Mugen said.
"Jin your time is limited." the voice said in a laughing tone.
The trees shook alittle and the person behind the voice was gone.
