I would like to apologize to all of you awesome awesome people who follow Sincerely. I have been so busy with finals and babysitting that I hadn't had any time at all to barely sit down! Then, when school was over, my mom decided to go on my computer, then she clicked a pop-up, and it gave my computer a bunch of Trojan virusus. OMG XX. I was so depressed, until I found an awesome (and FREE!) Virus scanner/protecton/remover software called "Avast!" For all of you who have no virus protection, PLEASE go to the site and download it.

Sincerely Chapter 6
Fuu was in a deep (and much needed) sleep for twelve straight hours. It was early evening in a hidden location in the woods when she came to. She could hear all the bugs in the making their usual noises, and the birds' chirping was starting to fade away with the sun. She could smell the fresh air and thepine from the trees. She also smelledsomething that made her want to wake up right away. She lifted her heavy eyelids and looked around. She forced herself up and was rubbing her eyes when she saw a a giant green leaf in front of her. It had about 5, large, cooked fish spread out on it.She grabbed the first fish and began to eat it. She was starving since she hadn't eaten in a day or two. She was so caught up in devouring her warm delicous food, that she had completely forgotten everything that happened yesterday. That is, until she sat all the way up on her knees and a sharp pain shot through her back.
"Ah!" She breathed in sharply, "it hurts! Ow-ow-ow-ow-OW!" She yelled as she tightly gripped her fourth fish. She then stopped whining to notice that she had sqished the cooked fish all over her hands. She figured she would justwipe them off on her kimono, so she slid her hands down her lap and felt skin- not the smoothcotton of her kimono. She was so caught up in food that she hadn't noticed she was dressed completely different. She looked up and down. She had on a giant white shirt underneath a larger red shirt which had served as her blanket as she slept. She was still dazed from having been in a deep sleep that she didn't care what she was wearing and finished eating all ofthe food. Her back seered with pain again and then it occured to her, all the things that had happened yesterday. She recalled everything that happened all the way up to seeing Mugen's face and fainting. Mugen! She thought as she looked around for Mugen or Jin, but saw nothing but a variety of pine trees and her blood-stained kimono hanging over one of them, dripping wet from being washed. Then she stopped and thought: Did Mugen do all of this? Did he take care of me, give me food, and wash my kimono himself? As she thought, she felt a soft tingling inside of her chest. She smiled softly to herself and sighed. Wait! What am I doing? Fuu tried to snap herself out of it, but there was no denying it- Fuu had feeling for Mugen. No wayyyyy! I'm not going to let this happen. Maybe I'm still shaken up from yesterday... maybe I'm just so happy to have eaten that I...uh..oh no...oh no...Fuu tried to push any and all feelings for Mugen out of her mind. She decided to forget about it and to try and walk around. She pushed on the ground, hoping her back wouldn't hurt too much, and tried to stand. "Damitt...it HURTS!" She yelled as she finally balanced on her feet.
After stretching a little, she heard a splashing sound near byand decided to see what it was. Attempting to ignore her back, she crept slowly toward some bushes, in the direction that the splashing sound was coming from. She saw a person surface from under the water, and it took her a couple of seconds to realize it was Mugen. When she did, she got all tingly again, but she shrug it off. His hair clung to his face as he sqwatted in the water. Apparently, he was tryingto catch more fish.
"GODDAMN FISH!" He said as he kicked the water and turned to leave. Whehe glanced up, hecaught a glimpse of Fuu standing at the waters edge. He unknowingly blushed at the site of Fuu. She was standing there looking at him in his large white shirt, which came down to her mid-thigh. The larger red shirt was draped over her shoulders as she stood with her hands clutching the sleeves. He could tell byher face that she was still weak and in pain from yesterday."It's about time," Mugen said, scratching his head and glancing away from Fuu. He thought she looked cute standing there, helpless and in his over-sized shirts. He blushed even more."Did you eat all of the fish?" Mugen asked. Oh no! Fuu thought. Was I supposed to save some for Mugen and Jin?
"Um...uhh...I...sorry..."Fuu looked at the ground, preparing for Mugen to yell, or tocuss her out or something like that.
"Good." Mugen said, searching for nearby fish in the water. "You needed to eat. How do you feel?" His tone was cold, as always, but fuu could tell that he was sincere. She was still surprised he hadn't yelled at her yet.
"Um...my back hurts...really bad." She said. She placed a hand on her back and felt bandages under Mugen's cotton shirt. Mugen's...shirt...She finally realized that Mugen was not wearing a shirt in the water, and that his shirt was on her, and that underneath his shirt she has bandages wrapped around her back and chest...That perv! She thought.I can't believe...No way...He's...He's gonna get it!Despite her back pain, she quickly entered the water, splashing her way towards Mugen.
"Hey! Go back up there and REST! Damn women..." He said and turned back to his fish. As he bent over to grab one Fuu continued through the water towards him.
"You God-damned PERV!" She was right behind him now and balled up her hand into a fist and attepmted to punch the hell out of Mugen, who turned around and caught her fist. He looked at Fuu, her face steaming.
"What was I supposed to do!" Mugen annoyedly asked. "Was I supposed to let you sleep in a cold and bloody kimono all night so you could get sick, and feel even WORSE! Stupid woman!" Fuu snatched her hand away from Mugen's grasp and raised both of her fists.
"Dirty, nasty, stupid, selfish MUGEN! How dare you sneek a peek at me when I was helpless and couldn't even fight back!" She pounded her fists agains his chest, which didn't even faze Mugen. "You SICKO!" She was about to hit him hard. She pulled back her fists and thrust them forward, whenMugen grabbed her shoulders...and kissed her. Fuu froze in shock as mugen moved his hands from her shoulders and held her tightly while still kissing her. Fuu wanted to slap the crap out of him, but he was holding her so tight, she could barely move without her back hurting. I don't want him to let go...She realized. Shestarted to panic untilshe heard a distant rustle in the bushes as Jin emerged, carrying more cooked fish. Mugen released Fuu at once and turned his head away from Fuu and Jin, embarassed. Fuu was still frozen, waist-deep in the cool water with her fists close to her chest.
Jin smirked before turning around..."It was bound to happen sooner or later." He chuckled and began to walk away.
