DISCLAIMER: I do not own Samurai Champloo or any of its characters.
Wish I owned Mugen...if he was real, he'd be my kickass boyfriend and we'd play xbox together and play fight like pros. Then we'd chase each other around the woods and he'd always win . JUST SAYING.
Anyway enjoy my new chapter and please review it!
Chapter 5: I Was Angry, I'm Sorry?
She groaned, it felt like someone had got a wooden pole and stuck it through her head. Her lips were swollen from alcohol and her throat was dry. Her eyes were still shut but her hands gripped her face as she heard Mugen snoring quite loudly beside her. He was either really close to her or he was snoring extra loud just to annoy her. She opened her eyes and there he was...unconscious, his hair wild hair over his face and the calmest, most innocent expression he ever made. She wasn't used to that innocent look upon his face, the fury he usually had was what she was used to, the constant insults but this face looked as if he wouldn't hurt anyone. She snorted at this idea, Mugen not hurting anyone was like saying that Jin was an expert at fishing. It just wasn't possible. He didn't hurt her though, not physically at least, she considered the verbal attacks as just banter between them. She stroked his face with her hand, smiling slightly as his nose twitched, she whispered into his ear. "Mugen...Wake up...I'm naked" His eyes snapped open and widened at the last few words. He realised Fuu was messing about and punched her arm gently, screwing his face up in annoyance.
He sighed, closing his eyes "Dumb broad..." He sat up slowly, clutching his face with one hand before stretching his arms out with a big yawn. Fuu watched attentively, she loved watching him. How he moved, spoke and how he acted around certain people. He sat Indian style towards her. "Mugen..." He looked up at her "Where's your shirt?" She was comfortable with him not wearing it, she just didn't want him to catch a cold.
"Ya dumb chick, yo wearin' it..." He tugged at the material of his shirt that hung over Fuu. He was right, she was wearing his shirt...but how? "Come'r" He pulled her arms up, flexing his strong arms. He grabbed the hem of his shirt pulling it over her head, brushing his hand against her skin making her tingle and shiver. He stood lacing his arms into the fabric before pulling it over his head, his muscles rippling over his torso, Fuu was like a pool of water. Why's he so hot? She thought.
She needed to know what happened exactly last night, just in case she had sex with him again. She enjoyed it and all but she didn't want to make a habit when feelings were involved. "Mugen, what exactly happened last night? I'm not completely sure what happened..." Fuu looked around puzzled, she spotted Jin unconscious on the floor, red marks on his face and his hair coming out of its tie. He obviously passed out so there was no reason to ask about Jin's night, Fuu knew he had two drinks and boom, pass out. She turned back to Mugen confusion written upon her face.
Mugen sighed heavily at her as he sat in front of her, knees touching hers. "Well somehow ya got me flirting with ta waitress to get free booze outta her. We went through five bottles between us and yo was off ya head, I was tipsy. Yo decided it was best time we left so I dragged fish face by his collar as we both stumbled into here. Got it for free, a few looks an their pissed their pants. Ya passed out just as we got here so I wrapped ya up and went ta sleep " Mugen snorted at Fuu's expression of complete shock and disgust. "Seriously? We drank that much? Ohhh...this means you won the contest!" She screwed her face up, waving her fists about in defeat. "What's the punishment? Let's get it over with..." She pouted knowing this would result in her crying at some point.
He leaned closer, smirking at his victory. "Well, I could get ya to go around town naked shoutin' how much ya love me or I could pierce ya ear. Yo choice..." One of his hands tracing circles on her shoulder making her shiver. She didn't want to run round town naked...He's the only man who's seen her naked and she'd rather keep it that way for now. She did like him a lot but she wasn't going to shout out yet. Ear piercings though sounded better they could heal up if necessary and it meant she could buy something cute to dangle from her ears.
She thought for a minute. "Erm I like the sound of piercing my ear!" She smiled beaming at him, he wiggled his eyebrow at her in approval. "How are we going to pierce my ear?" She pouted slightly having no idea how it worked. Luckily Mugen knew.
"Well we stick a needle through ya ear and quickly put an earring in it and boom. Ya ears pierced chickie" He pinched her cheek, wobbling it a bit. These days there was nothing of her face to wobble about, she'd grown up fast. "Where's that needle ya use to mend me and four eyes' clothes?" He opened his palm waiting for the item as Fuu fumbled around in her kimono sticking her tongue out in concentration. Mugen stared at her chest, her kimono opened revealing her bindings. He thought of how he was first to see her 'hooters' and stole her innocence. She placed a medium sized needle into his huge palm. He snapped out of the thought getting up to sit at her side so he could see her ear by the side view.
"We're doing it now?!" Fuu panicked she'd only just woke up and Mugen was piercing her ear already.
"Well, duh?" He opened his mouth teasing. "Now, this may hurt a bit. Feel free to claw my knee but please don't scream and shout or wriggle or you'll be in trouble if I slip..." He slapped her shoulder to assure her that he was serious. Her hand travelled to his knee, holding it firming as she squeezed her eyes shut. Mugen liked the touch and how she trusted him to do this to her, her small hand caressed his knee. He had to hold in a moan that nearly passed his lips. Mugen removed one of his Jade earrings placing it on the knee Fuu wasn't clutching. Now she'd have something of his, he had her virginity and she had his precious earring, a jade earring from his home island. Even if his birth island was a shit hole for criminals he held the earrings as treasures of his struggle as a child, the first ever thing he stole with success. As she was the first to steal his heart...he would never admit it to her or Jin, because he'd get teased within an inch of his life but he had it in his mind.
He put one hand at the top of her ear to balance his other hand as he held the needle, he didn't even ready her. He just impaled her ear, the needle went through as her nails dug into his knee furiously. Her eyes widening, her teeth drawing blood on her lip. He slowly removed the needle sliding it out the back of her ear and he slipped the jade earring through the front before securing it. He patted her knee biting her neck lightly making her squeal to his enjoyment. "Done girlie..."
She felt her ear looking at him. He gave her his Jade earring, the smooth roundness of it felt right in her fingers, her ear felt numb. She felt special, no one touched his jade earrings "Thanks...Mugen," She shuffled towards him, facing him. She leant forward and hugged his shoulders, nuzzling her chin into his rock hard shoulder. "Thanks for not leaving me..." She pulled back slightly and pecked his neck before pulling back completely so she was on her knees again. She began to slid her hand off his knee but he snatched it back, holding onto her hand. He squeezed her hand and leant forward kissing her forehead lightly.
"I couldn't leave...Fuu I gotta tell ya somethin', don't get mad. This is the one time I won't enjoy it chick..." He gripped her chin, so she was looking straight at him. "Promise me yo won't get mad Fuu?" He looked at her worried and scared of rejection.
"I promise..." Fuu said honestly. Mugen gripped her shoulders as he locked his eyes with hers. He fought the urge to kiss her there and then, make love to her and just look at her like it was his last day alive. He had to tell her now or never, he had to find out if she felt the same or he wouldn't be able to cope travelling with her. Knowing that moment in her house was just a one night stand and meant nothing to her would tear him apart, but he would never admit that not if she rejected him.
He opened his mouth to continue when Jin groaned loudly catching both of the duo's attention. His face stayed in an annoyed expression, his hands clutching his face and groping the floor for his glasses. Mugen glared menacingly at Jin, releasing Fuu's shoulders and standing up. Fuu's eyes widened as she realised Mugen was in a bad mood now, he didn't liked being interrupted. Ever. She grasped her face in despair as Mugen made his way over to Jin whose back was still towards them. Jin must of been extremely tired as he didn't sense Mugen towering over him with anger radiating off of him as Mugen reached down to clutch his face. Jin must be really tired and not sober, he hadn't noticed Mugen creeping up behind him. Jin's eyes widened when he finally realised he was being attacked, he was about to wriggle free but Mugen slammed his face against the hard flooring till he was unconscious again. Fuu watched in fascination as the man who made her feel magical and horrible all at the same time somehow cared for her one second and could beat the shit out of someone the next. For some reason it made her feel safe knowing he could be loving towards her one minute and fight off anyone the next who dared interrupt them.
He huffed loudly kicking Jin's side, he didn't make a sound. "Great, now no interruptin' fish face..." He was happy that Jin was unconscious once again and wouldn't interrupt him and Fuu again till he allowed him to. He stalked over again, a smirk curving his lips as he sat down Indian style again. He placed his hands behind Fuu's elbows, rubbing them with his thumbs, locking eyes yet again. He opened his mouth to speak till they both heard a blood curdling scream echoed through the room. Their eyes widened at each other, they turned to Jin but he was still unconscious. Fuu launched herself into Mugen's lap, she didn't want to get separated from him just yet. More screams were heard along with yells and running footsteps, Mugen got up pulling Fuu behind him. He quickly dragged Jin to the back of the room and quickly unsheathed his sword.
Screams continued but unfortunately the room seemed to grow hotter and hotter as they waited for an attacker in silence. "What do you hear?" Fuu asked knowing Mugen's senses were heightened more than a regular human. Mugen didn't look at her, focusing on the door.
"Footsteps coming our way an' a huge amount of heat to our right, I dunno where it's comin' from?" He suddenly tensed and stancing towards the door. Fuu took this as a sign of someone approaching and she froze. Scared of what was on the other side of the door.
The door slide open with a slam. Smoke poured into the room, making them choke. The inn manager choked as he shouted into their room, his eyes streaming with tears as other guests ran past. "FIRE! COME ON! GET OUT NOW!" He ran in, throwing Jin over his shoulder and running out.
"SHIT!" Mugen shouted turning quickly towards Fuu. She had passed out on the floor. "Dumb girl..." He shouted at her as he hauled her over his shoulder and followed the man that was somehow carrying Jin out the door. His eyes streamed with tears as the smoke surrounded them, he managed to follow the guy out the door through the heavy clouds. He coughed violently when he reached daylight, he felt weight being lifted off his back as he turned he saw Fuu laying out on the floor, resting on her elbows for balance. She smirked at him in victory, he realised she'd feigned that she was unconscious so he would pick her up and carry her. He scowled, grabbing her arms and pulling her up. He bit her shoulder knowing it would make her moan but the tricky bitch covered her mouth and squeezed her eyes shut so no one saw the pleasure glazing her eyes over. He pulled back smiling as she opened her eyes and smacked his arm. "Fucking tease you are..." she pouted at him.
"Pffft. Says yo, passin' out so I have to carry ya fat ass?!" He growled at her, crossing his arms over his chest. "That's what I call a fuckin' tease woman!"
"Haha look!" She pointed at the burning building in front of them. "It reminds me of when you and Jin ended up burning down the teahouse. Memories...now I'm stuck with an asshole like you!" She turned pointing at him this time.
"Will you two keep the arguing to a minimal..."Jin was stood beside them, his hair ruffled and coming out of its tie. One hand to his scrapped face and the other cleaning his glasses on his shirt. The usual annoyed expression solid on his face as he scowled at the two before placing his glasses on his nose.
"Well mornin' light weight, yo just slept through a fire...but no me and Fuu arguin' wakes ya!" Mugen placed his fist on his hip annoyed at Jin's ignorance towards the situation.
"Well Mugen, you did beat the shit out of him when he was still waking up. YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" Fuu shouted in her high-pitched voice which annoyed him so much. She pouted as her eyebrows stayed at an angry expression. If glares could kill, he'd of killed her over a hundred times already.
He turned, glaring at her over his shoulder. "Fuckin' whore..." He didn't mutter quiet enough as Fuu threw her sandal at his head, leaving a bump on his skull. He spun around, a malicious look upon his face as Jin tutted at them walking ahead leaving them to sort out their troubles.
"DON'T CALL ME A FUCKING WHORE! I'VE ONLY FUCKED ONE GUY MUGEN! THAT WAS YOU, YOU ASSHOLE! I WISH I NEVER DID FUCK YOU NOW!" She stopped suddenly regretting what she said. Mugen looked at her hurt by her words, throwing her shoe back and headed off in a different direction. She called after him. "MUGEN! I didn't mean it, I was just angry!" He was gone...she stood watching his figure become a dot on the horizon. He was truly gone and she didn't know what to do, she wanted to scream and cry but all she could manage was to stand watching as he walked away. She'd done it again, she'd let him walk away from her. He wouldn't come back now...not ever. She held back the streams that threatened to fall down her face as she felt sadness swallow her. Her hands covered her face as she tried to think over what she said, she was so wrong and for once he was the person in the right. What had she done? Jin appeared beside her, placing his snow white hand on her shoulder as he too looked at the horizon that Mugen had melted into.
"I think you already know this but he has feelings for you...not friendly and family as our relationship but something incredibly more. He'll sulk and come back because he actually cares. You just have to wait a little longer Fuu..." He stepped away as she peeped through her fingers at him.
Maybe he was right? Fuu was harsh on him but he always been tough? He never sulked so he must care? She turned deep in thought as she followed Jin in complete silence. The moon soon took its place in the sky and all Fuu could think of was that night...he made love to her. Stayed with her, even gave her his jade earring and now she'd never see him again.
She gripped her tanto in her kimono, pushing the thought of slitting her throat and letting her damn, miserable life end away from her. She couldn't leave Jin to find Mugen, he said he'd come back and Jin was usually correct. She said she would help Jin to meet Shino and that's what she would do, even if it killed her in the process she would do it. She just had to get through it, even if her heart was breaking and her mind telling her to turn around and find Mugen. She was scared he would find a brothel in a red light district, sulking his woes into some woman with big hooters and nice body just begging him to have fun. She imagined his huge tanned body hanging over a whore wriggling under him as he sulked through sex. She just wished he'd have a drink and then stop. She knew he wouldn't come back, he might find that ninja girl he was so in love with. He might as well bang ninja girl and forget her...
"Jin?" He stopped. Turning to look at her. "Do you think Mugen will really come back?"
"humhmm, if he cares as he seems too "
But really Jin had no idea, for all he knew Mugen could be in a brothel having sex with another...
