A/N: Yay reviews! Well I'm feeling better and I hope this chapter is better then the last. I was really sick…god I have no clue what was over me.
God, I'm so sorry, it took me forever to update, I just got Photoshop and I was playing nonstop on that thing, God, I think that program is going to be the death of me. So once again, I'm so sorry for my lateness.
As always, Samurai Champloo belongs to those guys with the power, not me.

Chapter Six: The Abominable fall of the Sun God…..A.K.A Mugen gets a Job
One Week Earlier
"Marry, you're gonna ask that little whore to marry you!" Sakura screamed as she pulled forward, the young servant moving with her, trying her best to work on the braids on Sakura's head.
Akira sat silent as his sister attacked him with screams.
"Are you even listening to me Aki-kun?" She pouted at her bothers silence. She looked down at the floor, picking up a small golden pillow, "Have you no idea of our family name or of our origin?" She threw the small pillow at her bother in an attempt to get his attention.
He silently moved out of the way of the on coming attack. He sighed and pushed his hair away from his eyes, "I know fully of our family name, but that doesn't mean that I should cast her away from me because of it."
Sakura stood up, filching in pain when she noticed that the servant girl didn't stand up as fast as she did, "For the love of all that is holy in the world Aki-kun, we are the grand children of the emperor, we are considered the children of gods, you just can't go around trying to marry little commoners just because you feel like it."
"She is not a commoner; she is the child of a samurai, just like us, that makes her just as good as us." Akira stood up, towering over his sister.
She put her hands on her hips, "And who told you this dear brother?"
"She did."
"And you believe her?" Sakura threw her hands in the air dramatically, "For all you know she can be lying right to you face. And another thing, what about those two guys she has in her house, you know that you can't trust a girl that willingly lets men stay in her house."
"She said that they were her companions."
Present day
"Marry?" Mugen sat in front of Jin, scratching his head. "How the hell do you know this?"
Jin sat silently in front of Mugen, his eyes closed and his sword placed in front of him, "I over heard her talking about it when I met her in the woods."
Mugen laid back in the soft rug, he placed a tan arm over his eyes, "So who's the lucky guy that gets to knock her up?" A small scowl forming on his lips.
Jin looked over at the pirate, "It is that young man that you attacked, he is the son of the daimyo."
Mugen bolted up, "Him? She's gonna marry him?" Mugen placed his hands on his legs and knitted his eyebrows like he was deep in thought.
"Why would you care who she marries?" Jin looked over the tan man.
"I don't care, hell she could marry all of Nagasaki, I don't care, after all, she is a grown woman now, and she can do what damn well pleases her." Mugen rolled over on to his stomach.
Jin nodded, to him it sounded like the pirate was trying to convince himself more then anyone else, "She will make him a fine wife."
Mugen sat up, "Don't encourage her to marry that fucking fairy." His scowl deepened.
Jim mused at Mugen's anger and a light smile formed on his lips, "I thought you said you don't care who she marries?"
Mugen stood up, starting to pace around the room, "I don't care." He stopped and looked down at Jin, "I just don't think that little ass hole is good enough."
"Then who is?"
"Any one."
Fuu smiled as she walked threw the market, for the first time in a long time, she felt content, happy and best of all, the hole that plagued her heart for so many years was finally filled. She looked over some fish, trying to decide which was the best one for that night.
She scrunched her nose as she looked over the fish; there was still the matter of Akira's proposal to think of. He was a kind young man, and he could provide for her, that was a given. But could she bring herself to love him? It was a hard question, but she learned over the years, that if given the right atmosphere and the right time, a person could fall in love with anyone. Besides, she felt that she was in a time in her life where she wanted to settle down and have children. She wanted to be taken cared of and pampered, and who better to pamper her, then the grandchild of the emperor.
"Miss, are you going to buy that?" A rugged looking man pointed to the fish that Fuu was holding in her hands.
She looked down and back at the man, smiling nervously, "Oro…..yes, I am." She chuckled and handed the fish back to the man.
I have to make sure that Fuu doesn't marry that ass stain. Mugen sat under a tree, a blade of grass sticking out from his mouth; he sighed and looked up, trying to cover his eyes from the bright sun.
"Kuso. Why does that little brat have to go off and try to marry herself off to that dip shit?"
It was really bothering Mugen, just the thought of Akira and Fuu together filled him with rage.
A sudden shadow hovered over Mugen, thinking it was a passing cloud; he paid no mind to it.
The cloud coughed.
Mugen looked up and saw the visage of beauty standing over him, unfortunately, that visage had the bite of a snake. He stuck out his bottom lip when he saw her, "What do you want?"
Sakura pouted, "Is that any way to talk to a person who wishes to make up for her actions?"
He eyed her suspiciously, "Well, get on with it, I don't have all day you know."
She gritted her teeth and tried to feign a smile, "I apologize for being so rude to you."
"Alright, now is there a reason for you taking up all my sunlight?" He gave her a cold glare; he was after all, one who didn't forget the trespasses of people very easily.
Sakura put on her best smile, "Well actually, I have noticed that you have been staying at Fuu-san's house."
Mugen nodded.
"Well, do you have a job to help Fuu-san out?" She smiled at him and kneeled in the grass next to him.
"Help her out? Hell she's lucky I don't rob her for all she's worth and take off." He leaned back against the tree and smiled to himself.
Sakura frowned, "Well, I want to offer you a job as a body guard for me." She put her hand on his, ice meeting fire.
He looked down at her and frowned, pushing her hand off of his. He stood up and turned fro her gazing into the distance. He looked over at a small house; he recognized it as Fuu's. He sighed, but suddenly remembered who this girl in front of him was, she was the sister to that little dip shit he hated so. A cat like grin crawled on his face, if he took the job, that would mean that he would get closer to the fairy, and in the end, get him away from Fuu. It sounded too good.
Mugen turned back to Sakura smiling, "You got you're self a body guard."
Fuu walked into her small house, taking off her sandals, she looked around for the two men that claimed this spot as their temporary home, but all she found was Jin sitting at the small table drinking tea. She walked over to him and placed a small package on the table, "Hey, where's Mugen."
"Out." The samurai sipped some more of his tea.
"Where, there are no whore houses around here." Fuu slowly opened the package, exposing the fresh fish.
Jin looked over the fish still holding on to his cup, "He is at work."
At the mention of this, Fuu perked up, "Work? Wow, that's a first, so where is that idiot working?" She walked over and grabbed a knife from a small box. She walked back and sat down getting ready to prepare the fish.
"He is working for Doji Sakura-san."
Fuu cut of the head of the fish, she looked down at it, staring into its cold soulless eyes, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the handle of the knife, "He's working for who?" Her voice was low, lined with murderous intent.
