Chapter 2: Marriage?
Isamu dragged Fuu down many rows of houses till they stopped in front of a wooden arch. Fuu had to admit it wasn't a bad place to live, it was clean and looked like someone wealthy lived there. Isamu dragged her through the stone court yard and into the main house. Guards nodded towards their master, sliding open the door for them to enter. A maid bowed, towards them as Fuu smiled at her but got dragged towards a door. Guards stood outside, Fuu could see a sitting silhouette inside the room with two others standing either side of the person.
Isamu turned to face Fuu, glaring down at her as he said "Now in that room is the reason you won't refuse to marry me!"
"What will happen if I refuse?"she questioned.
"Then the person dies, you stupid bitch!"He slapped her, leaving a red hand print on her left cheek. She started crying, wishing and begging to the lords Mugen or Jin would help her.
"Who's in there?" she sobbed and she collapsed at Isamu's feet.
He grinned holding her face. "I did some research not just on you but some others...just so you my bitch would marry me." He nodded towards the guards they slide open the door.
Fuu's vision was blurred with tears as Isamu dragged her in the room by the collar of her kimono. He dropped her onto her face, she lay with her hands against her forehead sobbing. She slowly looked up wiping her tears. The figure was sitting cross-legged, clothing just like Mugen, a scowl like Mugen, the wrist tattoos just like Mugen, bushy hair just like his...It was Mugen. She sat up, staring. Mugen caught her eye a little shocked himself, he raised an eyebrow curiously.
"Mugen?" she asked.
"Fuu, sup you dumb broad" he smirked at her as always. It's like nothing changed, he acted like they were still travelling. He still had his bushy hair, tanned olive skin, his iron geta and his beloved sword.
"Wha-what are you doing here Mugen?"
"This guys said they had a job for me, I followed the bastards and they shoved me in here. What the hell's going on?"
Fuu was about to explain when Isamu grabbed her by her hair lifting her as she cried out. She wriggled, Mugen wasn't interested. "So what's-ya-name, what do you want with Fuu. She ain't nothing special, her chest's flat as wood and she eats like a pig?"
"Well, I want her to accept my marriage proposal but it seems she's refused it so if she refuses one more time. I'll torture you while she watches, killing you slowly till she accepts my offer. That's what I want."
Mugen eyes lit with hunger, Fuu knew this wasn't going to be good. "Mugen, don't you dar-"Isamu dropped her and kicked her side. "AHHH!" she lay shaking holding onto her stomach rolling in pain.
"Well Fuu, choose: marry me and your dear friend Mugen lives or refuse and watch him die slowly..."he waited for an answer but nothing came so he kicked her side with his wooden shoes. "SPEAK YOU WHORE!"
"Hey ya bastard! The dumb broad won't answer ya, she's stubborn so I'll make ya a deal, since I'm in a good mood. " Mugen jumped up shouting, fury in his eyes. It reminded Fuu of that day when he came after her when she was tied to a cross. He came to save her even though he was injured. The fury was the same at that moment.
"I'm listening..."Isamu seemed interested.
"I'll fight all of you, if I win I take the little bitch and I walk outta here. If I lose you take her and marry the nagging wench. Deal?"
He held out his hand towards Isamu, Isamu smiled and shook his hand. "Alright you have half an hour to prepare yourself for your ending Mugen. I'll leave the whore here, teach her a lesson if you want. She'll get it anyway..." Isamu nodded at the guards who left them alone completely.
Mugen still stood grunted angrily after Isamu while Fuu still lay on her side. Mugen walked over giving her a nudge with his geta, she winced. "Come on ya dumb broad. Sit up I wanna talk to ya" He demanded.
She slowly sat up her hands balancing her against the floor. She managed to sit on her bum, her legs slightly bent to her side; she looked up at Mugen telling him she was ready when he was. He crouched looking at her mysteriously, smirking like he did with whores. "Why's that bastard want ya? Ya ain't nothing special Fuu, so why's he after ya?" Mugen asked irritated.
"Jerk...he recognised me from that brothel that had me hostage and has bought my freedom.."She sighed heavily squeezing her eyes shut as she tried to breath.
"Still a dumb broad I see. Guessing you still eat like a pig too?"
"Jer- ahhh!" she clutched her ribs. Red liquid soaking through her kimono and obi, she rocked a little bit shuffling against the panelled walls for balance. Mugen grunted, laying back with his hands behind his head.
Dumb broad he thought, she's always in trouble...she kept him amused though. Only thing she was good for, but he had to admit she'd grown up quite a bit. She was seventeen now right? He could teach her a lesson like that guy said...
Mugen looked up at her as she gasped, she'd opened up her kimono and untied her obi. It revealed her wrapping around her breasts, bruises deep purple ran up her ribs and a split right over her ribs. Blood trickled down them, Mugen licked his lips hungrily...She's gonna owe me bad after this, he thought. "Oh god...Mugen..."she whined. "Help me clean this up, I can't see the cut under my breasts..." She blushed a deep red.
"Stop ya bitching ya broad," He got up sighing heavily as he sat down again opposite her. "What ya want me to do?" He sat looking at her bored. She ripped some fabric off the bottom of her kimono handing it to him.
"Can you somehow clean the cut and bind it with the fabric I gave you?" She asked embarrassed of what he would say. She smiled her best begging him.
"Last time I got begged it was to go gentle," he snorted "I guess I can do it this one time..."
She took out her tanto and Momo soared off into the corner ;she shrugged the kimono off her shoulders so he had better access to her ribs. Mugen tried to keep his face straight but her body was even better than he remembered. Her shoulders were slender, he knew her breasts even under the traditional binding were a decent size and much bigger than when he first met her. She waist curved in perfectly and her hips were big and beautiful enough to break a door down.
He gulped. He licked his thumb and stroked it along her cut, he looked up at her as she hissed at the pain. "Stop ya bitching, I've been shot remember?" Mugen growled.
He continued using his fingers to clean up her wound. "I remember, I missed you..." she said honestly.
He pressed his thumb into her cut at his shock, causing her to wriggle and hiss at him. "I didn't miss you, ya dumb bitch...nagging and whining" he shook his head and he got the fabric. Tracing his hands behind her back and round to her front, he harshly tightened the bind so she winced. He smirked at her pain.
She felt hurt at his words. What did she expect? for him to say he missed her too and hug her silly? no, he wouldn't do that...he didn't care for women as long as they pleasured him and left after. Fuu pressed her lips together, wondering what to say back. She was about to do up her kimono when Mugen stopped her hands. "Hold on little Fuu," he smirked, his eyes lit with lust. "You owe me now I've done up ya wounds and saved ya fat ass today..." He traced her lips with his big, tanned fingers; tracing them into her hair slowly taking out her chopsticks and letting her hair fall. He traced the outline of her face and down her neck till he reached her collarbone. He drew circles along her collarbone entranced by her milky white skin. She looked at him, this was the first time anyone touched her like this...His eyes still locked onto her collarbone.
They were suddenly interrupted by a guard. "Come, you two. You're expected by the master" he growled grabbing Fuu by the arm and pulling her up. Momo gripped Fuu's tanto in its tail soaring back into her kimono without the guard realising. He didn't seem to care that her kimono was open. He nodded his head towards the door for Mugen to understand to follow them. The guard still gripping Fuu's arm took them back outside into the court yard. He placed Fuu on the floor next to Isamu who sat on a wooden deck chair.
Mugen stood at the door observing his opponents. They had groups of squads to fight him, five in each group and five squads. He was never good at maths but he guessed he'd be slaughtering a fair amount of guards. The lazy bastard Isamu was sitting in a deck chair, he wants a show? Mugen would give him one.
"First group!" Isamu shouted. A group of nervous guards ran up to Mugen, all unsheathing their weapons and stancing ready for an attack. Mugen just chuckled unsheathing his weapon and stancing, glancing from one of the guards to the others and back. He ran forward flipping over one and confusing them till he turned thrusting his sword between his ribs and pulling it out again using his foot. Four more. He ran around them slicing three guards' sides up before flipping over them and slitting their throats. One more. Before he could attack Isamu shouted for the next group. Six more then. Then he rolled onto his back balancing on his katana as he flipped his legs, hitting most of them with his iron geta before jumping up. He ducked under a sword, sliding on his knees as he sliced upwards; tearing the guard from his bellybutton to his throat, he fell to his knees blood soaking his skin. Mugen back flipped making sure his iron geta landed on one guards chest, knocking him down as Mugen ended his misery by slamming the sword into his chest. He turned suddenly to another, his sword following his move as he sliced the guard across the middle. He slashed them to ribbons one by one, Isamu sat in horror. Parts of guards scattered across the courtyard, all soaked in each other's blood. Mugen shook his geta a bit, getting some blood off them before making his way towards Isamu.
"What's-your-face, I have to say you got some shit guards. If I attacked you, you and your little guards would be dead in half an hour..." He looked round glaring at the other three squads till they ran out of the court yard disappearing among the rows of neighbouring houses. Isamu sat, his face still in the same place, his mouth open but no sound filling the air around them.
Fuu just smiled to herself, she knew this would happen so she didn't worry about him losing to Isamu. She knew that Mugen was such a good fighter, he never gave up even in their travels. Fuu sat looking at Isamu then burst into laughter. Mugen raised an eyebrow at her, Isamu slowly turned his head to her and shouted "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?"
"Your face...Oh my, you couldn't believe that Mugen could kill all your men!" She continued to chuckle. She rolled over a bit, her kimono still open so her breasts wobbled as her chest shook. Isamu still looking at her, stared at her chest until Mugen glared over and hit him on the head with the hilt of his katana. He lay limp over his deck chair, his mouth still agape. Fuu stopped laughing when Mugen stood over her, his eyes made her gulp. She got up immediately , brushing off the dirt she was rolling in, her ribs ached with pain. She ignored the pain in her side worrying on what Mugen would do.
"Come on before I get pissed off" Mugen snarled at Fuu, walking through the courtyard without her. She quickly ran after him, doing up her kimono so she didn't accidently expose herself. She held her ribs still in pain but not caring, she panted a bit when she finally reached Mugen. He stood at the market entrance puzzled but raised an eyebrow at Fuu when she finally caught up. "Thank-" Fuu began.
"Where are you crashing?" Mugen interrupted. Pushing her in front of him. "Lead..." he commanded. The market place was filled with people, people shouted out for sales, offers and bargains, shoppers running from stall to stall. Glaring at the products they had, money flying around the place. Fuu pushed through the crowd, Mugen following close behind, glaring down anyone who nudged him the tiniest bit. They made it out the pit of bodies, walking further out of the town and slowly up a hill. Fuu was getting slower. God sake, Mugen thought, how slow does she wanna get? Fuck it. He ran up behind her, lowering his head scooping her legs up with his right arm. Bouncing her onto his shoulder so she didn't fall off his back. "MUGENNNNN!"She screamed thumping her little fists on his back as he ran up the hill, finally placing her down at the top. She hair swayed across her face but Mugen could see she was angry, she turned not saying anything to him; her shoulders tense as she walked further. Mugen continued to follow his hands behind his head, smirking to himself about her screaming his name. He could find other ways to get her screaming his name.
Fuu sighed looking at the hut without a door. "Ohhh..."she whined stepping in. "They broke my door to splinters, great..." she looked at the mass of wooden splinters across her floor.
"Quit ya bitching woman" Mugen came in observing the surroundings "It's better than any place we've been to..." Sitting himself down in a safe patch around the table. He closed his eyes with his hand still behind his head.
"Yes, only because you always spent our money on women and sake!"She screamed, she was tired, bruised, insulted and mad pissed. She wasn't in the mood for Mugen's attitude. She closed her eyes continuing the insults "I don't care if you just saved my ass, you chose to! I wouldn't of cared if I married that pervert because at le-"
"Shut up," Mugen was in front of her when she opened her eyes, his hand over her mouth. "before I have to get you shouting for a reason..."He winked flirting with Fuu. She removed his hand from her mouth but still held it, it was rough but she didn't mind. His other hand kept to the back of her neck. He looked at her, lust solid in his eyes.
"What are going to do to me Mugen?"Fuu asked nervously. Feeling his hot breath on her lips, it was beautifully soothing and her mind went blank.
"You owe me a lot Fuu, I'm just collecting my rewards" Mugen said.
ohhh, did you like the flirting I included? I tried my best, and I wrote my first fight scene? Any good? Please review!
