Chapter 6: Hidden in plain site

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Matsu screamed as Ito ran towards her. At the last second Matsu moved; getting grazed on the shoulder.

"Dammit." Ito missed and nearly ran into the wall. Matsu ran outside…she was crying.

"FUU! FUU PLEASE HELP ME!" All three of them turned around and faced Matsu. Matsu ran to Jin, since Mugen still had Fuu over his shoulder.

"What is it child?" asked Jin. He saw the cut on her shoulder. "Matsu get behind me." He said. Ito came running after her. She had forgotten about the samurais that were there.

"I knew you were too pretty, to be normal." Said Mugen. He dropped Fuu on the ground.

"Ouch. Hey!" said Fuu.

"Fuu, take the child and run." Said Jin. Fuu nodded and took Matsu's hand, and in a flash they were gone.

Ito never took her eyes off Fuu and Matsu. They turned the corner and that was all she needed to see.

"Come on boys, you don't want to do this right here in the middle of the town do you?" she said in a seductive yet quiet sinister voice. Jin pulled out his sword as well as Mugen.

"Sorry babe, but once you come out running with blood on your clothes, you're not that hot anymore." Said Mugen. Ito just smiled. She pulled out her dagger and got into a fighting position. She smiled again.

"Jin catch." She dropped down on the ground and threw dirt in his eyes.

"Ah!" Jin couldn't see. Ito tripped Mugen while she was still on the ground. She stood up quickly and knocked off Jin's glasses. She ran down the trail where Matsu and Fuu had run.

"Bitch!" Mugen got up and ran after her. Jin was frantically trying to find his glasses. Mugen was at the least 10 feet away from Ito. He got close enough to grab a piece of her kimono. Yanking her to the ground. Mugen sat on top of her. Pinning her down to the ground.

"Get off!" she yelled.

"Actually I kinda like where I'm sitting." He smirked a perverted smirk.

Meanwhile…Jin was still searching for his glasses.

"Dammit where are they?" he patted the ground and still didn't find them.

"Samurai?" a sweet voice came ringing in his ear.

"Are these what you are looking for?" the mysterious blurry figure handed him his glasses. Once he put them on he saw her angel face. She had short brown hair and beautiful dolly black eyes. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"I thank you for your kindness." He stood up. He was way taller than her.

"I must go. Thank you again." Jin ran to find Mugen and Ito. He caught up.

"It's about damn time!" said Mugen, Ito was squirming and was almost loose from Mugen's strong grip. Jin held his sword to her neck.

"Don't move. Tell me everything that you know." Said Jin. Ito looked at him; her eyes were blaring. She spat in Mugen's face hoping he would be grossed out and get off. Mugen just spat back.

"Ew." Ito was more than grossed out.

"I asked you a question." Said Jin. "I think you better answer." Ito was in a tough spot. She didn't know what to do. Then it came to her. She kneed Mugen in the crotch. He let go quickly. She pulled her dagger out and pierced it through Mugen's arm.

Causing extra pain. In a quick motion she catapulted Mugen on Jin with her feet. Sending them both crashing to the ground. She sprinted off in a flash.

"Ah. Fuck!" Mugen held his arm. He pulled out the dagger and ran after her. Jin followed. Ito hid in the shadows of an empty alleyway. She could hear Mugen and Jin

"Where did she go?" Jin's voice rang.

"Let's go this way." Said Mugen.

Also in another alleyway Fuu and Matsu tried to catch their breath. Matsu was becoming tired.

"Fuu. I don't feel so good." Said Matsu holding her cut shoulder.

"Come here." Said Fuu. "Let me look at your arm…" she looked. "Does it hurt at all?" she asked.

"Just a little." She replied. A familiar voice came to Fuu.

"WHERE ARE YOU? ITO COME OUT!" it was Mugen.

"Mugen, Jin!" she ran out to them. She was relieved that they were alright.

"Mugen…your arm." Fuu took his hand, but he quickly took it away.

"Damn cunt stabbed me." He said. Jin interrupted them.

"We must get to the outskirts of town. We'll be putting Matsu in jeopardy if we stay." He looked down at the young one. A young woman was walking towards them. It was the woman who had helped Jin find his glasses before.

"Hey…it's you." She said. He noticed it was she. He blushed and slightly smiled.

"Hey! Lover boy we gotta get going." Said Mugen.

"I'm sorry but I must go." Said Jin. She stopped them.

"Wait. Do you have a place to stay?" she asked. TO BE CONTINUED...
