Chapter 3

Change Your Feelings Towards Someone.

Mugen sighed for the billionth time. Never has he seen a girl wear such a short Kimono. It was insane. Plus she was hot. That was enough to make him drag her to some alley way and rape the life outta her. He sighed shaking the thought from his head. It was like she said. He has to earn her. Mugen wasn't about to become a suck up. He would just have to let things go the way they went.

Finally they reached a village. Well I shouldn't say village. I should say a huge commericial town. Very busy, so full of merchants. So much crime. So many hotels. So many women.

Mugen wrapped his arms around Fuu, "Hey. What do you say we find a hotel and-

"Does he do that often?" Kurenai asked Jin. He simply shrugged and grinned. Fuu wasn't that angry as last time, but she was pissed. Mugen was walking right along side of her. His pride and ego has taken too much of a beaten for one day. Normally he would just go to the next girl. Like the hot and sexy Kurenai.

They all couldn't believe Fuu had a cousin so cute. Well they couldn't believe she had a cousin and never knew about it. Kurenai didn't talk much about it, but they were indeed cousins. Kurenai's father was Fuu's dad's brother. And so Kurenai joined the journey to Ginhiri, to find the Sunflower Samurai.

"Wow!" Kurenai gasped looking around, "So busy! This place is way huge!"

Fuu looked at her cousin from the corner of her eye. A small frown on her face, "You've never been here?"

"Pretty hard to believe." Jin said looking around, "This place is called Kokoro no Demon."

Kurenai tilted her head to the side, "Kokoro no Demon? What a strange name for a town. Not to mention its a very strange phrase, huh Jin?"

He noded, "Its suppose to honor those demons who was wrongly accused of slaughter. They say some demons have really good hearts, but their souls were tained with blood. I would watch out here though. Many claim to have been possessed when inside this town. Of course it they are lying. But even so, many come here to commit crime and get away wirh it."

"Wow you sure now alot, Jin." Kurenai said giving him a smile. Jin slightly blushed and looked away. Kurenai was one of those too-cute really cheery girls.

"So what now?" Fuu called from the front, "Do we keep walking? Do we stay for a while?"

"Lets just walk on through," Mugen suggested taking the lead. He really didn't want to stop. He wanted he get to Ginhiri as fast as possible and ditch them all. Get on with his life again.

"Why?" Kurenai asked walking up to him, "Its a commcerical town. They serve really great food here. We could stay just a few hours."

Mugen folded his arms. The way he saw it, it was Fuu's decision. Of course he wasn't about to say that, "Like hell I care about food. I just need to get away from this place."

"Fine then you go and we will catch up," Jin suggested as he and Kurenai walked off to some place. Mugen growled as he continued walking through town. No need to follow people he hated unless he had to.

"Anything wrong?"

Mugen looked to his side to see Fuu. Her emotionless face confused him. Fuu always either smiled or frowned. She was never emotionless like that. He shook his head, "Shouldn't you be with your cousin, and Jin?"

"Yeah, but I was worried."

"Worried for what?"

"You haven't said anything lately," She said. Usually Mugen would make some smark remark every once and a while. He's been really quiet and upset.

"You want me to say something?" He asked not looking at her, "Fine. Why do you keep clinging to me? If you follow me any further, I will have sex with you."

"I thought you said my body wasn't interesting."

"Well I lied," He said looking around for someplace to rest. Thankfully he found one. Right behind a high class resturant. It was a real long bench. He sat down then put his feet up. So relaxing. He wasn't hungry so no sense to eat anything and waste money, "You still here?"

"So you do think my body is interesting?"

He groaned, "Yes I do. Now will you go away? Your really pissin' me off. Go hang out with your cousin Kurenai."

She sat by his feet, "I don't want to. We hardly spend any time together, you and I. Might as well stay here because I have no idea where they went."

Mugen sighed, then closed his eyes. Why the hell did she follow him everywhere. Just a year ago she said she felt more safe with Jin around. He sighed once more. Well he had to admit, he did have feelings for Fuu. He hated to believe it but it was true. Of course he wasn't going to tell anybody that.

It was quiet for almost an hour. He was really tired. Fuu must of been too because he felt something on his crouch. He sat up and lay her head on his shoulder, then wrapped his arm around her waist. At least he would get some sleep this way. And wow did sleep come really fast.

Fuu moaned in her sleep. She remember sitting down next to Mugen, but now she wasn't. She was being carried somewhere. On somebody's back. She finally opened her eyes to see puffy spikey hair in her face, "M-Mugen?"

"Your finally awake?" He said back.

Fuu noded, then looked around. She was still very tired though. No sign of Kurenai or Jin, "Hey where are-"

"They said they're going to spend the night at a hotel," Mugen said knowing what she would ask, "I'm known at that place. Thats why I couldn't stay. We'll stop at the next down and sleep for the night."

"Why are you-"

"I'm being nice for once," He interupted, "Don't add any fluff to it."

She sighed then lay her had on his back. He was being nice to her. Normally he would just wake her up and tell her to walk. But something was different. They didn't know it but they loved each other, and oh god did he hated the idea of him loving a girl. How could Mugen love anyone? Why did he have to meet Fuu?

Finally a hotel. Just sitting there in the middle of nowhere. Well he wasn't about to complain. He hurried towards it. Fuu was light, but not that light. Once inside he paid for a room, and slid the door open. It was a small room. Bedroom, and bathroom. There was a bath-house for men and women in the back. He carried Fuu and lay her down on the Futon.

Once doing so he sighed and cracked his arms. There was another Futon in the corner so he slept there. Without another word they both drifted off to a very deep sleep.

Morning came quickly. Both decided to continue on to Ginhiri without Jin and Kurenai. They would all meet up eventually. It was a long and silent road, much to Mugen's liking. Until he heard a growl.

Fuu held her stomach and told it to "shh!" They were miles away from another village. Mugen sighed and tossed her a sandwhich. He packed up some food when they left Kokoro no Demon. He grabbed a piece of bread and began to eat it. He was kind of hungry himself.

Very quiet. Very quiet for too long. They never said a word to each other. Both were thinking about what happened yesterday. Mugen being so nice. Now he gave her food. He hated the way he acted towards Fuu. He wanted to get to Ginhiri before he got fluffy with her.

"Agh!"

Mugen hissed in pain from the sword that was driven through his back. He felt the sharp blade pierce is skin as it entered him and was viciously riped out. He fell to the ground as blood gushed from his wound, "The F-Fuck?" He looked at the person with the sword and gasped, "Its...you..."
