Before I start, thank you all so much for the reviews! It has persuaded me to update as fast as I can. I love writing them and I love sharing them with others! Thanks again so much and for you reading pleasure, here's chapter 4! Oh! BTW ToykoPrincess, I know she's an orphan it's just I wanted to make her have a mother haha. They are all orphans basically. Oh and I'm sorry Jin hasn't been around. I can't fit him anywhere yet! But don't worry he'll come around!

"Where are we going exactly?" asked Fuu.

"Wanna go to a hotel? It's just around here somewhere." Mugen's eyes wandered around.

"Excuse-me? No!" Fuu's heart skipped a beat.

Mugen burst out with hysterical laughter and wiped the tears off his eyes.

"Geez, you don't have to say it so piercingly, I was only joking. I'm not interested in chest-less bodies anyways."

Fuu was humiliated. This day was supposed to be friendly! Not insulting! If only she had just walked straight and gone to school, she wouldn't have to feel so humiliated in front of the one person that could be her friend.

In awkward silence, the two people walked side by side for a good 10 minutes. Later on, Mugen pointed at a little café down the road, telling Fuu that they should go there. Fuu just nodded.

Fuu and Mugen ordered their drinks and left the café in a jiffy. In another 5 minutes of awkward silence. Fuu finally decided to say something.

"Where were you born?" asked the curious girl.

"What?" startled Mugen.

"Where were you born?" Fuu repeated.

"Why do you care?"

"Well, sorry for trying to make conversation." Fuu repeated sarcastically.

"In the city." Mugen replied harshly.

"This city?"

"Yah."

"What's it like?"

"What do you mean what's it like? It's the same as living in any other city. It's not like you haven't lived in the city before."

"I haven't."

"What? Well where did you live then? In the zoo?"

"What the hell! No! I've lived in the country for 15 years. So basically the city's new to me."

"Why'd you move here? I'd live this city any day."

"Not my fault. I had to move. It's because of my mother's job. It's not fair. I'd had stayed in my country house if I could. And plus if my father hadn't…"

Fuu had begun to tear up. She was sniffing and her eyes filled itself with water. Mugen noticed this, but ignored it instead.

"C'mon, if we start heading back now, we might make it before 2nd block." Mugen stated.

"Sure." Fuu sniffed and walked along side.

"And where were you two?" The teacher asked furiously.

Silence filled the classroom as both Fuu and Mugen popped in.

"We were caught in traffic." Said Mugen.

"No you were not! You were just playing hooky!" barked the teacher.

"If you had known," snarled Mugen, "then why'd you ask?"

This had now set the teacher off. She was boiling in the inside and steaming on the outside. Some students giggled at what Mugen had said, but quickly shut up when the teacher had given them quick piercing glares.

When the two of them walked down the aisle to their desks, Fuu noticed her classmates gesturing a kissing motion towards the two of them. Mugen either didn't care or he just didn't notice. But this bothered Fuu. She didn't want to be made fun of or even talked about. She wanted to get through the year unnoticed and unharmed.

Sometime during 3rd period (History Class), the teacher announced that the students may work in partners for this activity.

Great. Partners. I just hate that word, partners. Especially when I don't have anyone to be partners with. Fuu thought. Mugen's probably with someone else… or maybe he isn't…?

Fuu looked back to see Mugen with his head flat on the desk, dozing off, looking like a complete idiot. …Or he's just sleeping!

Sadly, Fuu went back to doing her work on her own for 15 minutes until she heard something.

"Hey."

Fuu looked up and saw a girl overshadowing her. "Yes?" Fuu asked.

"My name's Meghan. I'm just wondering, are you really from the country?" asked the excited Meghan.

Fuu was happy! She has finally someone to talk to! A friend even! Maybe someone not so outspoken and weird like Mugen!

"Actually, yes I am, I just ca-"

Meghan interrupted, "Really, wait till I tell them that!"

Meghan ran off into a group of other girls and a few seconds later, there was a roar of laughter from them, as they pointed at Fuu.

The group of girls skipped towards Fuu. Oh god, she thought. This is not going to be fun.
