The Butterfly and Her Samurai

Chapter 1

"Hey, you!" shouted Mugen spotting the young girl by the lake along the trail. "What are you doing over there, writing in that stupid diary, again?" he said playfully, but just being plain curious.

Fuu didn't bother to look back. Right now, she doesn't want to be bothered with him. She misses Jin and it is tearing her up inside because there's no clue of his whereabouts. Mugen stands behind her leaning over her. She looks up at him.

"Mind you business, nosey!" Fuu spatted and then she stands up moving away from him. "Hmph, just leave me alone, you're such a pain," she said waving her diary back and forth in his face, then walks away.

"Whatever," Mugen scowled back, then walks up behind her and then snatches her diary. "Let's see about this diary, eh." he grinned.

Fuu turned around in surprise and tries to get it back by beating him on his back like a quarrel between siblings.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU..GIVE THAT... BACK...OR ELSE...I'LL SCRATCH YOU TO DEATH...AND CALL IT MURDER!" screamed Fuu, now jumping on his back trying to reach for her diary that way. Though she still couldn't reach for it.

"Hey, get the hell off me, will ya?" Mugen yelled as he started to open the diary.

Fuu eyes widen and gasped, "NOOOO! YOU IDIOT, GIVE THAT BACK!"

She couldn't think of anything else but the first thing that came into mind is what she did. So, she climbs down from off his back, and then she kicked him in the groins with her right leg. Mugen drops her diary in front of him and groans painfully and loud that it echoes throughout the forest. The birds begin to burst out of its resting area and start to flutter around wildly. Fuu now has the upper hand as she retrieved her diary and ran along the trail that leads back to a town nearby where they were both lodging for the past two days now since Jin has been missing. Fuu turns around and waves to Mugen.

"Hey, Mugen!" Fuu yelled to him. "I always knew you have small brains, but that you have there, I couldn't feel anything!" she laughed hilariously.

"What did you say!" growled Mugen. "Come here and say that, you little bitch!" he demanded.

"Bye!" she waved again, and then left.

Mugen growled again to himself.

"Wait! She didn't mean that," thought Mugen. "Errr...Fuu, I'll get you for that and that's a promise!" he scowled with a burning determination for a payback for that incident.

Fuu p.o.v. writing in her diary as she walks up the trail to the nearby town:

As the days go by

I wonder where you are right now

The feeling of you not being here with me

Makes me feel blue and cold

Oh, when will you come back to me

Until then, I'll wait for you

Under the moonlight

By the lake

To Be Continued...
