I have been so busy you would not even believe! SOOO SORRY for you all who have been waiting (and waiting, and waiting, and waiting) I missed writing soooo much, but I had NO TIME at all. TT. Anyways… It gave me a lot of time to think, and I've already thought of an ending-but that's not coming till much later . Well here you guys go, and thanks for the WONDERFUL reviews!

Fuu's Point of View

Fuu's back stung with pain that made her eyes water. She was slumped onto the gray rock so uncomfortably, her back had to suffer a great deal. But it was the only way she could keep a close eye on the bloody gash on the back of her leg, which had now been wrapped with the bow from her kimono. She concentrated on the cave's ceiling with all it's points andsaw how scratchy it looked, trying to distract herself from the pain all over her body. Concentrate, Fuu, you can do it! Someone will come…. some one will come… Fuu was amazingly tired after using all of her strength to reach the large rock she wasnow slumped against. Though it was uncomfortable, Fuu managed to fall asleep after staring at the ceiling for so long.

Mugen's point of View

Mugen headed to the waterfall. His heart was pounding so fiercely that he couldn't hear anything- not his footsteps,or the waterfall ahead. He clenched his sword tightly in his hand as he focused on the waterfall, searching for signs of Fuu. He got closer and closer each second, because thoughhe hadn't realized it, he began to sprint. Faster and faster he raced towards the waterfall, searching left and right. Mugen's mind was blank- his onlyfocus was finding Fuu.He was soon at the waterfalls edge. The cool water splashed his face, which was hot from running. He stood there, his legs in the water, looking for some kind of place where Fuu might be. He heard rustling in the bushes behind him, and he sharply turned around,as silently as he could. He saw no one, so he continued on into the water. He was almost up to his waist in the freezing water, when he decided to go under the icy surface. About 5 seconds of searching underwater, he felt a sharp pain in his head and slowly began to slip out of consciouness...

Fuu's Point of View

Fuu woke up after an hour of sleep, dazed. She heard splashesin the water and peered through sleepy eyes to see a hazy figure emerging from the water. Her heart leapt with joy: Mugen! He came for me! He found me! She tried to open her eyes wider, but the sleepiness took over, and only allowed her to open them half way. She couldn't make out Mugen's exact figure, plus he was wet so she couldn't see anything but blurry mess and---blood?

"Mugen…" Fuu said trying to keep herself awake. "What…happ…end…?" He didn't answer. "Mugen! This…isn't funny…Please…what's wrong?" She began to wake up more and opened her eyes in shock.

"I knew…. I would find the…beautiful girl I saw bathing in…the river" Sitting about 5 feet away from Fuu was Toji's Boss-Mugen hadn't killed him after all.

"I don't understand…" Fuu said, wide-awake. "Mugen…Jin…?"

"I took care of your friend with the scruffy hair… Heh" He scoffed "He thought he could kill me, Boss Okohara Waruji! Hahaha. He got what he deserved. Anyone who goes up against Okohara-dono will surely die." Fuu's joy slowly seeped out of her as she realized that the man, Boss Okohara Waruji, had killed Mugen.

"I don't believe you." Fuu said, her mind racing. "No one but Jin could ever kill Mugen."

"Ah, yes, the man with spectacles…Well, that is with swords andon land, Dear, but even killing the strongest man is made easier by being underwater. Knock him unconscious, and watch him slowly sink away to his watery grave." He smirked looking at Fuu, who was shocked with disbelief. "Even if he survived, it doesn't matter. For you are spend the rest of your days with me as my wife from now on."

Fuu didn't know what to think. Her leg still dripped blood, and singed with pain. Her head was dizzy from the loss of blood, and her heart felt like it had suddenly gained 20 pounds, and was so heavy that Fuu found it hard to breath. She began to shake as Okohara, his back wrapped in a silk cloth to stop the bleeding from Mugen's sword'swound, approached her breathing heavily. He reached out his dirty, wrinkled hand and brushed Fuu's lips with his fingers. She bit him. Ha! That's what you get, you dirty old man! Fuu wouldn't give herself away to anyone unless she wanted to!

"Oh…I see you want to try and fight me do you?" Waruji released his sword and held it to Fuu's neck, where it rested gently. "You don't want to fight with me, Dear, I am Okohara Waruji. How many damn times is he going to say that? Fuu thought.He picked up Fuu's small frame and laid her to the ground. Fuu's leg was numb now, and she felt nothing. She wanted fight, and kick and scream but she was so weak now, she could only watch.Okohara crawled on top of her, his rough hand creeping up her stomach on top of her thrashed kimono. Stop! Mugen! Jin! Help me! Fuu was in a state of shock- she couldn't move. She could only lie there, paralyzed asOkohara reached for the opening of her kimono and proceeded to slowly slip it off her shoulders. She shut her eyes tight, but when Okohara did nothing, she squinted to see his face.

Okoharafroze. His eyes wide open, and blood pouring from his mouth. Fuu saw the shiny blade of a familiar samurai's sword coming out of the Boss' stomach. She glanced up to see Mugen, scruffier than ever, peering down at her sternly. The next thing she knew, her head and body seemed to drain completely. The whole atmosphere of the cave and of Mugen staring down at her was too overwhelming and she felt herself get incredibly light headed and she fainted there on the cold ground by Mugen's side. Mugen, with a large knot on his head from beinghit by the Boss underwater, picked up Fuu and proceeded towards the exit of the cave, heading towards camp where warmth and protection awaited them.

Okohara-dono. In the Japanese language, people use honrifics, such as Okohara-Chan (for close friends, and little kids) -Kun (for guys) -San (for people you don't know very well) -sama (for someone of great, great respect like the emporor), and -dono (for someone of extreme extreme respect. used rarely) For a japanese person to add any honorific to their name is highly unlikely, because it would be like saying "I am the best" which is considered very rude in Japan. So I made this dude say it so it would make him seem like an arrogant asshole, which he is. yippee

Well, there ya go! PLEASE don't 4get to review! Luvs, Cappacino
