I'm not going to bother with an long intro for this. It's pretty self-explanatory. All you need to know is that this is Jin's point of view and a continuation of the last chapter. Enjoy!

"Hey," I called after Fuu as she ran in the other direction. She had been quiet all afternoon, something that was unusual for the girl. Most of the time I didn't mind, but today, for example, when she had insisted on getting Sara and her son back together, I had snapped at her. I suppose it's typical for a teenage girl to stick her nose into other people's business, but it did get annoying.

I finally caught up to her at the bridge we had crossed on the way in. She had her back to me, and it almost sounded like she was crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked, trying not to startle her. It didn't seem to work, since she spun around so quickly. As soon as I looked into her eyes, I knew that my assumption had been correct. She had definitely been crying, though she tried to hide it by wiping her eyes on her sleeve. I swear I'll never understand females and their erratic feelings.

"I'm alright," was her response to my question, but even as she spoke, more tears formed. "I'm sorry," she choked out. "I'm," she sobbed loudly, "sorry!"

I looked at her for awhile, not sure what to do. I wanted to comfort her, but how could I do that? It killed me to see her so sad, so when she finally calmed down a little, I thought of something to say.

"Fuu," I said quietly. She looked up at me. "I don't know what's wrong, but you shouldn't cry like that."

She gave me a confused expression.

"You'll damage your pretty face." At this, we both gasped. Had I meant to say that? I didn't think so. I had just planned on telling her that it would just give Mugen an excuse to insult her. Why had I said that? Did I think she was attractive? Before I could answer myself, she put her arms around me, crying even harder. Now what did I do?

"Oh Jin," she said in between her sobs, "you're the best!" And then something very strange happened. Maybe it was my pity working, or maybe it was the way her brown eyes shined in the moonlight, but something inside me took over.

I kissed Fuu.

And not just a peck either, I really kissed Fuu. And the strange thing was, I liked it. So much that I actually found myself pulling her closer, and she didn't exactly protest.

We broke away and just looked at each other for a long while. Then without a word, we returned to the place where we were staying. We found that Mugen and Sara already there.

As I shut the sliding door, I heard a crude voice cut into the darkness.

"Where the hell were you? And what was her problem?"

I sighed. "Nothing, just hormones." There was no way that I was letting Mugen in on this little secret.

"Dumb broad," he muttered. I didn't bother to respond.

That night, I dreamt of kissing Fuu, over and over again.

What was wrong with me?

Wow, I know that was really fluffy and super long, but I was just dying to write it! And I fell like it actually explains some of the events that follow after their "encounter." I hope it wasn't too lovey-dovey for you!
