A/N: I'm really tired…so here ya go
Chapter 5
Day 3
The tides where as noisy as ever this morning and Fuu wished she could tell the ocean to shut up. Better yet she should tell Mugen to do it, he'd probably scare off the tides and stop the winds if he wanted to.
Fuu crankily turned her head to face the ocean and thought she saw something fuzzy. No it wasn't fuzzy it was just her eyes, she rubbed them gently and tried to make out the object once more, jumping up in excitement as she realized what it was.
"A boat!" Fuu quickly scrambled to her feet and began getting frantic. It was far but it was there. She began jumping up and down. "Mugen!" she turned to see if he was awake but saw he wasn't. She quickly ran up beside him and knelt down to shake him. "Mugen! Wake up!"
It wasn't until she took in another breath that she noticed the smell of alcohol on him, she then noticed an empty bottle of sake next to him. 'Where the hell did that come from? Was he hiding it this whole time?'
Fuu began to panic figuring he was dead to the world thanks to the booze. She tried shaking him harder. "C'mon Mugen! There's a boat!"
Nothing but snores. Fuu was growing impatient and decided to take measures in her own hands. She quickly made a grab for the sword and nearly stumbled realizing how heavy it was. She readjusted herself and started to position the sword towards the sun hoping it world cast off a reflection.
Unfortunately she had still been standing too close to Mugen who suddenly rolled over and into her. Fuu lost balance and fell down beside him sending the sword flying in the opposite direction. Fuu's hopes shattered as she heard the sword smash into a bunch of little pieces against the rocks. 'Son of a bitch.'
Mugen started to stir. Still half asleep he put his arms around the body close to him and began to drawing it closer. "Hey baby," he muttered in a drunken voice. But Fuu was still in shock over the broken sword that his touch didn't even register. She began to roll over on top of him in an attempt to stand up with her mouth still hanging open in shock. Mugen rolled over with her but began losing his grip on her as he began coming coherent again. He felt what seemed to a nice little ass. 'Happy Birthday Mugen,' he thought lustfully to himself. He proceeded to squeeze it when a hand squatted him away and moved away from his reach. 'Playing hard to get,' Mugen thought friskily.
He turned over slowly opening his eyes to see Fuu with her hands on her head. 'What's Fuu doing here?' That's when he noticed little shiny shards of his sword on the ground. He was wide awake now.
Mugen was flabbergasted at the sight of his new sword laid out on the ground in pieces and only one person right now could be responsible. "Wha-what'd you do? You got fucking bored so decided to break my goddamn sword."
Fuu turned on her heel to face him. "I didn't mean to break the goddamn sword, if you hadn't rolled into me I was trying to signal the goddamn boat."
Mugen shook his head. "What goddamn boat?"
Fuu pointed a stiff finger out to the ship that was now sailing away from them. "That goddamn boat."
Mugen squinted his eyes until he caught vision of the now tiny object. "That goddamn boat?" He asked pointing out to it. Fuu nodded at him with angry eyes. "Well why the fuck didn't you just wake me up? I would've handled it right and we would've been saved you little bitch."
"Well if you hadn't drunken yourself into a coma I wouldn't have had to try to save us both because you decided to get drunk and be stupid without me knowing about it."
Mugen was now shaking his head and laughing manically so as not to straggle the woman right then and there. Fuu backed away freaked out by his maniac laughing, he finally stopped to give her the all time death of death glares. "You know what you've just done? You've taken our one good chance of being saved and pissed it away!"
"Don't you dare blame this on me," said Fuu stomping her foot in the ground. "If it hadn't been for you and that sword in the first place we wouldn't be on this island!" She began stomping away as he continued to yell at her.
"Hey! I'm the best goddamn person you're ever gonna get stranded with! Who else is going to pull snakes outa your fucking crotch?"
"Oh please!" screamed Fuu turning around again. "If I had been smart at the moment I would've let the snake bit me. And you're the one who said that that sword was top shit, well it turns out that's all it really was, just shit."
Mugen tried to say something but was left with his mouth hanging open in complete anger. Fuu continued to walk away adding one final word to the argument.
"And I know you were looking at my boob's yesterday jackass."
-On the island of Fuu's future husband-
"I-I just don't understand, how could she not be here?" Shang had been on the pier for about an hour and still searching for the familiar pink kimono and soft brown hair with matching eyes.
His mother suddenly jabbed him with her elbow in the gut. "Are you sure she said she was coming today?" she asked impatiently.
Shang nodded wearily. "It was in her letter. She said she'd be here today on the pier an hour ago."
Shang's mother shook her head. 'What a waste.' She finally looked up at her son and put her hand on his shoulder. "Maybe you should consider another wife."
-Back to our two favorite characters-
Fuu had been walking around the island for an hour now and realized she should be with Shang right now and meeting his mother for the first time. The thought panged her heart greatly but she shrugged it off and continued to vent. "Stupid jerk, who the hell does he think he is? I could be starting a family right now and I end up on an island with the most self absorbed person I know. You'd think he'd miss me like I've missed him but no, all he cares about is-"
"Ya know you really shouldn't talk about people behind their backs." Fuu turned with a menacing glare knowing all to well who that voice belonged too. In view came the dirty pirate with his hands behind his head, he had his shirt on now but kept the red jacket off, it had cooled down a little but it was still freaking hot. "It's not nice," he added for good measure with great sarcasm.
Fuu didn't want to yell at him, it was starting to wear her out, so instead of wasting her energy she huffed off not caring if he followed or not.
"Hey didn't you just hear me you little bitch! I said it's not nice to talk about people behind their backs you get back here and apologize."
Fuu stuck her nose up in the air. "No," she replied calmly over her shoulder. She smiled victoriously to herself when she heard him growl.
Mugen was running up behind her and getting ready to yell at her again when he felt the ground shaking beneath his feet. Fuu felt it too and froze in her spot.
The ground was giving in. Fuu only had enough time to lrt out a small gasp before falling in with the ground, Mugen followed not too long after her.
The fall was short but broken by rock and vines. The landing was also steep so they went sliding a little ways before finally coming to a stop.
Fuu moaned as she felt a pain in her leg as well as her head but mostly felt herself being crushed by the weight of something. She finally realized it was the weight of a person as Mugen struggled to bring himself up on his elbows. He cursed before actually looking at her in the eyes. Her muscles turned to jelly and all pains seemed forgotten. It all lasted a second.
Mugen couldn't ignore his pain as he gently scooted off her to lie on his uninjured side.
Fuu came back to reality and sighed heavily. "I think I've had enough of this island as I could stand."
-10 minutes later-
It had been a pain in the ass but they finally managed to find an opening once Mugen was able to push past the pain of his bruised up side. He still couldn't believe he and Fuu had actually fallen through the ground. Either the island was cursed or she was a bad luck charm. He decided for the second thought.
They made there way the rocks and plants and stepped out into the sun Fuu was complaining the whole way as she exited the hole with Mugen, she immediately went brushing herself off and spinning around like a little girl afraid of dirt. Mugen proceeded to ignore her until something caught his eye.
"Ahhh! god it's creepy in there," Said Fuu still frantically brushing herself off still.
"Stop," Mugen suddenly ordered.
"What? Stop what?
"Stop! Just stop…" Mugen began to walk cautiously up to her. Fuu knew that look, the look that said when danger was near. She stood still as he seemed to look down at her menacingly.
"What?" she asked nervously.
She felt his hand tug at her hair and realized he'd just pulled a large scorpion out of her hair. Fuu shuddered as he threw it into a bush. She stared at him in wonderment at how many times he'd saved her since they'd been here. It was amazing how pissed he could be at her and still wiling to save her life.
Mugen quickly grew uncomfortable with the stare and started to walk off trying to ignore it completely. "C'mon we should get back to camp."
Fuu stored the moment away in her memory before letting one more chill run up her spine.
They were probably close she figured as they continued to walk in a mutual silence. She began to admire the view figuring with Mugen's sword now demolished they would be staying here awhile. 'Might as well get use to it'. She looked down on the shore line when she recognized a familiar object, She had to pause and blink a couple times to make sure it was real, when she was absolutely certain it was she ran over Mugen a few paces ahead of her and began to drag his arm back.
"Hey, hey, the hell's wrong with you, what you getting desperate for something?"
Fuu didn't even hear him as she pointed towards the shore. "Look, look, look!"
Mugen glanced down at the shore and managed to make out a small ship pulling in. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Must be a local from one of the islands pulling in for the night."
"Yeah well how do we get down there, how do we signal them?" asked Fuu waving her arms knowing all too well they were too far away to be seen.
"My sword would be nice." Replied Mugen dryly.
Fuu scoffed at him and lightly pushed him. "Oh don't start. What do we do?"
Mugen checked out their surroundings and realized it would be some time before they even managed to get down their since they were up on a very high and rocky terrain.
"Well we'll just go down the mountain and hope those bastards are still there in the morning."
Fuu was about to ask him what he meant by morning when she realized there sun was starting to set. Where had the day gone?
