Sincerely Chapter 8

Fuu whatched as Jin madehis way toward the large waterfall, growing smaller with each passing second. The tears were constantly pouring out, and Mugen was holding his inside, and whispering to Fuu to "be strong". Soon after Jin had dissapeared into the far-off distance, Mugen and Fuu heard a loud sound. It sounded likea bunch ofpeople were nearby, but not on land. She peered passed some bushes and saw a large, wooden boat docked at the shore about 500 feet away from her and Mugen.

"Stay here, and don't move. I'm gonna go see who the hell this is..." Mugen quietly rushed over towards the boat. Fuu whatched as he reached the boat talking to on of the men that came from it. Fuu was about to stand up and follow Mugen, when someone put a cloth over her mouth and nose, causing her to pass out. A few feet away, Mugen was speaking with the guy from the ship, when the guy ( a lanky swordsman) suddenly turned on Mugen and held the sword up to his neck.

"So..." Said the swordsman. "I hear you wield a sword quite nicely. I hope your better than the samurai witht the spectacles." The lanky guy began to laugh, and Mugen was without his sword because he had left it at camp when saying goodbye to Jin as a sign of respect.

"You...nnn...bastard!" Mugen said as he struggled to break free of the guys grasp. Then it suddenly hit him- Fuu! Where's Fuu! But before Mugen could say anything, he too was put in the sleeper-hold and passed out.

Mugen awakened about 3 hours later, in an empty closet. He banged on the door, in pitch-black. Fuu! Where are you? Are you okay? He thought, unable to speak out of fear. He heard a light tapping sound on the other end of the door.

"Fuu! Are you alright? Are you hurt." Mugen's heart pleaded for a reply.

"No." Repeated a low, gruff voice. "But she will be if you don't join us."

"You bastards!" Mugen yelled, as the door swished open, flooding his eyes with brightness from the ouside world.

"Now let's talk..." Said the lanky swords man.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fuus eyes shot open. Where am I? She thought. It was pitchblack, and she had no idea where she was. only that she was in a boat that rocked back and forth with the waves underneath. She pounded on anything hard she could reach, until someone entered the room, with light pouring in fomr the out side hallway.

"Where's Mugen?" She pleaded. "Please tell me!" The person came in. It was a tough-built lady. She pulled Fuu up from her arm and shoved her throught many hallways and doors. Her arms hurt from being dragged throughout the ship and the noise hurt her eyes. She was so confused with out Mugen or Jin at her side...surely he was on the boat too. Surely this lady was bringing her to him...right? She continued her thoughtsuntil she was on the shore again, and the boat was sailing away, with Mugen still on it. "Please!" She screamed "Mugen!" She fell to her knees in sadness.

"Oh, yeah he told me to give you this!" The built-lady called from the deckboat and tossed a folded piece of paper to Fuu and laughed as the boat picked up speed and glided away. Fuu rushed and snatched the paper as the wind blew it towards her. She quickly opened it.

Fuu-

Everything that's happened drained all of my energy. I was left weak and swordless when they captured me. The only way you could go free, they said, was if I joined them in their hunt for money as their lead swordsman. The promised not to hurt you,if I joined peacefullyand that's why I have to leave you, Fuu. Someday we'll meet again...that's something Jin would have said...but I think he may be right. Don't go findin another man in the meantime...Fuu. I mean that. Until then-

Mugen

Fuu held the paper in her violently-shaking hands. What? Fuu thought. How could this happen?We were finally happy for once...finally...and the Jin...and then...Mugen had to 'join them'? Fuu didn't understand. at all she simple thre herself to the ground and sobbed until she fell asleep. She was truly alone and heartbroken, miserable and depressed. All after she had been so happy...nothing was right anymore. Fuu was in such shock, she couldn't possibly belive this was happening to her. Her world began to spin and soon she passed out ont he beach once more.
