I DO NOT OWN SAMURAI CHAMPLOO or 'BUTTERFLY' by DJ MYSTIC

Breakdancing Butterfly
xXxXxXxXxX By some strange turn of events, shortly after the three went their supposed 'separate ways' at the end of episode 26, our threesome met back up and decided it was fate that brought them together... again. They are now traveling back to the region Fuu wants to live in, the two guys as her body-guards. XxXxXxXxXx
Chapter 2 – "Someone Who Won't Regret"

Fuu had hastily passed out at the very thought of her current situation.

Mugen looked down at her, a mouthful of rice muffling his speech. "Whafts wrong wiff 'er?"

Jin blinked once as he stared over at Mugen, and then at Fuu. He was sure he wouldn't have passed out too at the very thought of marrying someone like this guy. "If I explained it, you wouldn't be happy."

Mugen swallowed the rice and pounded the table with his fist. "Just tell me already, for cryin' out loud."

"Fine. You and Fuu were just married to each other by that priest." Jin prepared for Mugen's reaction, his muscles tense. Mugen just stared at him blankly for a minute, his expression unreadable.

"Oh, is that all?" Mugen asked and nudged Fuu with his foot.

It was Jin's turn to be completely shocked. "You mean, you're not upset?"

"Upset? Why? Now that I'm her husband, I can order her around, instead of the other way around. Plus, she can cook and clean and do other stuff for me." Mugen replied and began to have a pleasant vision of Fuu scrubbing his feet while stirring a big pot of stew and politely singing a lovely tune to him –not in her regular, nasty voice either. He was lounged back, enjoying himself as he stared off into the distance where three lovely ladies were dancing –naked.

Jin rubbed his forehead. He couldn't imagine Fuu doing that for anyone –not even a real husband of her choosing. "You always were a dreamer." He replied as he saw that far-away look in Mugen's eyes.

"Hueh?" He asked, coming out of his daze.

"You never think things through all the way."

"So?" Mugen retorted.

"You do realize that now that you're her husband, you must forever support her and that you must live together forever, and that getting a divorce will take forever to get done." Jin tried to explain, but he could see that Mugen still didn't quite fully grasp his situation.

"Mutual divorces don't take forever. Besides, I don't feel like divorcing her quite yet."

"You're hopeless." Jin shook his head and finished his dinner. Fuu was still passed out. He stood up and looked down at the unconscious Fuu and the dirty scoundrel next to her. "Don't try anything funny with her either... even though she is technically your wife. This is still the same Fuu."

Mugen raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn't dream of touching your girlfriend, even if she was my wife." He sniped, but then scratched his head. "That sounded weird." He mumbled.

"Indeed." Jin replied and exited out of the room and shut the door, a little too hard.

Mugen scoffed. He knew Jin had a 'thing' for her. He had thought it was simply one sided –with Fuu practically swooning over him all the time, but that night he saw him 'hug' her –well, that was all the proof he needed.

He smirked to himself. The fact that he was making Jin upset because he had married his little Fuu was making him feel very satisfied at the moment. He'd have to find a way to rub it in his face a little more later on.

He laughed. This being married thing wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. He took a last swig of whatever beverage was in front of him and got up to go to the bathroom.

Fuu awoke with a start and sat up. She was alone. She looked around the room. Where was everyone? And why had she passed out again? She stood and surveyed the area again.

Oh yeah, she must have had a bad dream or something. She could have sworn that she and Mugen were... married.

"How ridiculous! Of course I was dreaming." She said to herself as she walked to the bed and sat on it. It felt so weird, a bed up from the ground so high.

She then walked to a drawer and opened it to find fresh bed kimonos. She undressed and began to put it on.

Just when she barely had her arm through a sleeve, there was scuffling behind her and someone was mumbling something.

She spun and saw Mugen walk through a door, scratching his head. He looked up and saw her, half naked. A bewildered look was replaced by one of mischief.

"Ohhh, I see you think this is official too huh? Well, might as well." He replied and reached down and pulled up his shirt to throw it over his head.

She wasn't the prettiest girl in the world, but hey –to Mugen- it was all the same thing in the end.

Fuu felt like screaming, but her mouth just hung open –no sounds escaping her throat. His body was lean and thin, tan and she swore she saw his muscles ripple.

She hastily covered herself and held it tight to her body.

He advanced.

She shook her head and finally found her voice. "No! no no no! Mugen!" She ran across the room and grabbed his shirt from the floor and threw it at him. "Just what in the hell are you doing!"

"I'm doing what all married couples should be doing... it." He tossed his shirt aside again and walked towards her.

She backed away from him. "Married! It wasn't a dream?"

"Nope, sorry. Now get over here and satisfy your husband." He lunged for her, but she ducked and tried to run, but he was too quick and reached for her, getting the back of her kimono and tugged. She fell back and into his arms, her loose kimono falling off her shoulders.

"Mugen! Stop this. It's me, Fuu, remember –you hate me! You always say I'm ugly! You wouldn't want to do this with me would you?" She pleaded, but actually felt herself go hypersensitive in his embrace.

Never before had she been so close to him. His body was warm and firm. His large, calloused hands were wound tightly around her arms and wrist.

His very touch was making her skin tingle and she felt like her whole body temperature just went up several degrees.

He was breathing right up against her ear and he smelled... well, bad, but definitely like himself.

"Let me go." She pleaded softly.

Mugen finally released his grip, seeing that she really didn't want this. If it was anyone other than Fuu, he probably would have continued. But this was Fuu. She was like an annoying little sister that you wanted to kill most of the time.

They had traveled together for so long, that he had never even had the thought of actually bedding her. Well, he might have at first, a few fleeting thoughts here and there when he was desperate for a lay, but never seriously.

"You're right. You are too ugly." He replied and pushed away from her.

She was relieved but also missed the contact.

"And your boobs are way small." He added.

"Hey!" She exclaimed, but couldn't help but look down at her chest.

"But we are married; I suppose I'll want it sometime."

She squinted. "Shut up! You are never getting it from me, ever! We're going to get a divorce as soon as our free room and board for a week is covered. Until then, there will be no unauthorized touching –got it?"

"Fine. Who'd want to touch you anyway?" He scoffed and walked past her and hopped on the bed to fall asleep.

"Wait a minute! Who said you get the bed?"

"I'm the husband, I make the rules, you need to listen to me... wife."

She grit her teeth. She hated him, really hated him... sometimes.

"Unless you wanna share." He suggested.

"No!" She went up to the bed and grabbed some pillows and the blanket and made a makeshift bed on the ground. She settled herself in the covers and threw the blanket over her head.

She heard him grumble and scoff, and curse something before blowing out the burners and falling hastily asleep, snoring loudly.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Jin awoke in the early morning in his 'closet'. There was a mewing in his sleeve and he looked down to see Momo crawl out and look around, and begin to clean himself.

"I suppose you thought it best to leave them alone too." He said, thinking for sure there would have been a lot of screaming involved after Fuu woke back up.

He stood up and cracked his neck. He had slept in a really weird position and now his shoulders and neck were sore.

Momo jumped back in his sleeve as he headed out the door and back to the room where Fuu and Mugen were.

He knocked on the door and then proceeded to left himself in.

He raised an eyebrow. Mugen had halfway fallen off the bed in his sleep and was now half on the nightstand and half on the floor.

Where was Fuu?

There was no one else in the room, except a small bundle of blankets at one end of the room.

The he saw a tuft of brown hair. Fuu was in the blankets, obviously curled up and still asleep. Both of them were snoring.

Jin turned back around and left the room, leaving them be. At least they didn't kill each other.

Haichan came sauntering up. "How are the lovebirds? Still asleep are they?"

Jin nodded.

"Good. I heard a lot of commotion last night. They were obviously 'at it' –ah, to be young again." She smiled and then reached behind her and handed Jin a bucket and a small wooden puppet.

He looked at them, confused.

"Now, dear, don't be confused, I know you're slow and all, but you have to make some money for your poor cousin, otherwise what good are you? I'm sure if you bring him some money he won't treat you so bad."

Jin twitched.

He looked at the bucket to see that the words 'village idiot offerings' tacked in bright red across the side.

He internally bit his tongue to keep from bashing the old woman with the bucket and shoving the puppet up Mugen's –

"You better get going, the earlier the better." She pushed him out the front entrance.
