Okay, I'm writing this author's note before I write the chapter for a change. Basically, all you need to know is that this one-shot is based on episode 12 of Samurai Champloo: "The Disorder Diaries." It starts when Mugen asks Jin an intriguing question….Enjoy!
"Hey Jin."
Mugen's loud voice interrupted the samurai's reading.
"Man to man, what do you really think of her anyway?"
Jin's first thought when he heard "her" was Shino. He missed her, there was no doubt of that, and he almost smiled when he pictured her sweet face. He realized soon though that Mugen was referring to Fuu.
Automatically, Jin let out a soft, "Hn."
Mugen just stared for a second before screaming, "This guy's hopeless!"
Now that Jin thought about it, he had never pondered his and Fuu's relationship. It was true that she was five years his junior and awkward (not to mention virtually shapeless), but did he have any feelings for her? And if so, what were they?
The answers to these questions scared Jin, so he chose not to pursue them. Shortly after Mugen's question though, he couldn't help but think about them while he read the girl-in-question's diary aloud.
He did feel an odd sensation when she was in danger—something that told him he needed to save her at all costs—but was this just because she was younger than him or because she was a girl? Jin wasn't sure. Maybe it was because she was like a sister to him. But if that was the case, then why was he so hurt when she told him never to come back? The explanation scratched against the wall that was cut through the middle of his thoughts.
What did he think about Fuu?
So I decided to leave it at that guys. Sorry if the cliffhanger makes you angry, but I'm going to extend upon this topic in a later chapter. It'll all work out, you'll see. Thanks for reading! Hope you liked it!
