Okay, peeps, this is going to be a four part one shot, only because if I didn't split it up, it would be ridiculously long. All four parts are based on "Elegy of Entrapment (Verse 1)" and centered on Fuu having to choose which of her bodyguards will go with Sara. This first part is told from Fuu's point of view. Enjoy!
Sara's hand felt warm on my shoulder as we walked behind my two lughead bodyguards. I made sure that they weren't in earshot before I spoke.
"Sara," I asked. She made a small noise that confirmed that she was listening. "What did you pray for back there? Was it for your son?"
"Actually, I have a favor to ask you regarding that?"
"Huh?" I asked, confused. I was happy to help, but what could I possibly do?
"I want one of them to come with me," she stated. At first, I couldn't even figure out what she meant by them.
"Either Mugen or Jin." Oh, them. "I don't care."
I paused, letting the shock of her request wash over me. She wanted one of my bodyguards? How could she even ask for such a thing after our conversation last night? She knew how I felt. About both of them! How could she ask me to choose?
I knew this was going to be a tough decision. One I wished I didn't have to make.
"Oh," was all I said to Sara, before we continued on to the next town. I didn't speak again until we reached the street fair. Even then, I hadn't come to a decision yet.
I realize that this chapter is really just a recap of the actual episode, but I felt like I should write it, just so the rest of the parts make sense. I'll warn you now, the next part is really long and really fluffy, but you'll just have to bare with me. Hope you liked!
