Hello my lovelies, how are you all? review please!

Chapter 6:Do Dreams Really Come True?

He walked away from her. He left her there with her eyes watering and left without a word to her. She regretted having sex with him and that was his worse fear, that it meant nothing to her. He was always harsh to her calling her names constantly but never said he wouldn't have sex with her. Oh wait. I have, fuck. I sorta deserved it then...that bitch a tricky one. He knew he was so horrible to her at times but he never expected her to be that horrible back. Stop bein' a moody bitch an' grow up Mugen. Ya don't deserve her an' ya know it but ya'll fight for her always. Just gotta prove it to her.

He walked further into the horizon, the dark night starting to surrounded him as his feet dragged along the dirty road. He looked at the ground as he walked, he was exhausted. It'd been a long day. He'd escaped a fire carrying that bitch and had a massive argument with her then he somehow walked at least a mile away from her while till on a hangover. His head hung low as he dragged himself further and further from the pain. The pain that he thought he'd never have for someone so annoying but so perfect. He heard faint foot steps behind him, getting slowly closer and closer.

Aww, bitch came after me. I'll stop so the chick slams inta me, the cluts. So he stood dead centre in the road waiting for Fuu to come flying into his back as the footsteps became closer and closer. A small, girlish pant escaping behind him. Here we go... He timed the slam perfectly.

He expected the impact to be his back...the impact was instead on his lower legs. Fuu was much taller than his calf...

"Da fuck?" He looked down at the thing that caused impact with his leg.

A child: long brunette hair, light olive skin, big but dark stormy eyes like his. She wore a kimono of purple with the hem patterned in sunflowers. The kid gripped the hem of his shorts in her chubby fists, squeezing her eyes shut as streams feel down her cheeks. She pulled away wiping her tears away as she rubbed her forehead.

"Sorry..." She wept some more. She strangely reminded him of Fuu, big eyes, that long brunette hair and clumsy behaviour. He liked this kid straight away, he didn't know why. She reminded him so much of that bitch he liked so much. He wouldn't admit but he'd hide it with insults just like he hid his feelings for Fuu with insults.

"Whatcha want kid?" Mugen scowled down at the kid as she looked up at him narrowing her eyes at him at his very words. She scowled back like she'd mastered it way before Mugen was born which was impossible.

"Get home..." She pointed towards a house in the distance. He hadn't noticed it at first till he narrowed his eyes to focus. She was right, the windows glowed. Obviously lit from a candle or fire from a kitchen or room. "I hurt my arm" She cradled it but even that made her cringe as pain splattered across her chubby face.

He huffed...this one was manipulative, even more than him. He gave in when she stared up at him with her big stormy eyes. Jin was right, he was going soft but he couldn't resist a sweet young version of Fuu, hurt and needing him. He wondered if this little girl was just like Fuu when she was younger, just Fuu was a lot more whiny and high pitched. He crouched next to her, scooping her up so she balanced on his hip. Her unhurt arm gripping on top of his shoulder as she cuddled her face into the hard muscle built after years of fighting off everyone. "I better get somethin' outta this kid..." He grunted as the kid gripped his shoulder harder than before.

He made his way towards the house, he drew closer and surprisingly it looked like Fuu's old shack. Coincidence...it must be. It's miles away... He carried on towards the door. About a metre away from it the kid tugged on his shirt grabbing his attention. "You can come in if you like? Mummy likes visitors..." He lowered her to the ground so she could lead him in.

"She better be hot..." He muttered. As the girl slid open the papery door; it revealed a well candle lit room and table. The little girl ran in dragging Mugen in by his wrist and letting him go as she hung her head round a doorway.

"Mumma! I'm home, I bought a visitor too!" She shouted into a room. She giggled turning and sitting by Mugen's feet patting the ground lightly before he relaxed enough to do the same.

A shout came from the doorway, "I'll be right there Kagura!" A young woman appeared at the doorway, a purple kimono just hung off her fragile frame, brunette hair with familiar chopsticks hanging from her skull. It couldn't be? Kagura ran over to the woman, arms wide and the woman accepted the embrace. She hadn't noticed him sitting there yet and she kissed Kagura's head. She looked up and that's when she locked eyes with Mugen. She froze. Why?

"S'up Fuu..." Mugen said, acting like nothing happened.

"Err Mugen...how nice to see you" She struggled with her words. Kagura tugged on her kimono till she grasped her attention.

"Mummy...this man helped me!" She bounced up and down and Fuu's attention went back to Mugen.

"Thanks," She smiled. "Thanks for helping my Kagura...Darling how about you go to bed?" She kissed the child's hurt arm and shooed her away playfully. The child bounced off as silence fell upon the two adults.

She sat down on the spot, sighing deeply. Mugen looked her in the eyes, scowling at her. How the fuck did she manage this? Stupid chick...He thought.

"Where's ya husband Fuu?" He interrogated her.

"I don't have one..."

"So who's that kid's dad huh? I swear Fuu, ya shoulda married the kid's dad before fuckin' hi-"

"She's yours..." She interrupted.

He blinked fiercely and when his eyes opened he was face down on the dirt road. He shot up. Brushing himself down with rough hands, sitting on the nearby grass thinking over the dream he just had. Why had Fuu had his child...why was she alone...Woah. She's not pregnant with my kid now is she? Little Kagura...Fuck, I gotta...go get her back...Sh-She can't be right? I only fucked her once...

He flipped up off his back so he stood on his feet. He was going to find her again...get back the whiny bitch he found so annoying.

"Da fuck I'm doin' this, god I must love that bitch..." He muttered to himself as he sprinted off in the direction he left the girl he wanted so bad. The moonlight bounced up and down his face as he sprinted his way back to her, hoping they hadn't got far. He still had to tell her...

He was exhausted. He had made it past the town that they had stayed in and headed in the direction he'd left Fuu and Jin. He gasped quickly, sprinting faster and faster. Gotta...gotta find her...

He reached a road that led into a forest. A fork in the road confused him, if only he had that dumb rat Fuu carried around to follow. Fuck, fuck, fuck...don't need this now.

"We better rest here for the night" The voice was clear enough for his impeccable hearing to recognise that it was Jin. Fish face...ya helpful mothafucka! He thought. He sniffed, he could smell the river from there. Left...

He sprinted down the left fork towards Jin's voice, knowing the dumb bitch would be near.

*meanwhile*

"We better rest here for the night..."Jin observed the clearing between some trees next to a light, liquid blue river that ran past them. Sloshing as water hit rocks and fish swam through. Jin crouched making a small fire as Fuu sat, knees to her chest and looking out to that horizon. The horizon a man had melted into, leaving a heart broken girl behind. A spark flew into swirl of fire as it danced and singed the wood creating a warmth atmosphere that crept onto their skin. She was so quiet...he really must mean something to her. She was only so quiet when something disturbing happened like when Mugen nearly died, she cried but mostly kept to herself. Quiet but still there. He couldn't understand what she felt for the pirate. The womanizer, drunk, filthy, foul-mouthed, inappropriate man that she seemed so drawn to. He didn't understand but he guessed Mugen and Fuu wouldn't understand his love for Shino. How it happened so quick and how they took so long to find each other, it was very different. He got up feeling sick at a sudden image of Mugen hovering Fuu during their 'adventure'.

"Don't do anything you'll regret...Goodnight Fuu" He turned hoping she wouldn't do anything reckless even though trouble seemed to radiate off her. All he could do was hope...

Fuu looked up, staring Jin's back as he placed himself on the futon. His back towards her. She muttered something about a bath and left the camp and towards the river that sloshed loudly. She pulled her kimono off roughly throwing it to the floor with her tanto. She sat on the edge of the river, letting her legs be consumed by the current. It pushed softly against her and she felt at peace. She decided to slide in a bit more, the freezing water slowly consuming her torso and arms. She shivered as her body tingled with numbness. Her unhealed cuts that were on her ribs stung slightly as the water seeped through her bindings and soaked them. "Oooh fuck me!" She let the words spill from her lips quickly. She slowly ducked her head under, letting the cold and numbing water surround her face. She opened her big doe like eyes to see her atmosphere, few fish surrounded her. Her hair swayed like seaweed, brunette swirls that moved beautifully around her face. She just gazed into the depth of the river, the way her movements became manipulated by the water. Making it difficult for her to move quickly. She could drown easily if she just let herself go, she couldn't do that to Mugen...not after how many times he saved her. She couldn't just throw it all away.

Mugen saw Jin laying on his futon. He knew Jin would hear him no matter what so he stopped a moment as he walked past Jin's futon. "I'm gonna talk to Fuu...leave us be" He burnt holes in Jin's back.

He heard Jin do his signature 'hmmhum'. Mugen grunted in response and moved on towards the river, the sound of water ringing in his ears. He neared. Her discarded clothes and tanto on the side but not her. She wasn't anywhere to be seen, he scanned the river and focused on a spot where brown swirls hovered.

"Dumb chick...come on..."He waited for a minute and she didn't resurface. He was getting impatient now, why was she taking so long? Then it struck him "Shit!"

He kicked off his geta, tearing his sword off his back as he ran up to the edge. Plunging into the liquid silk as it swallowed him in an explosion of bubbles. He swam closer to her, she looked dizzy and he knew. He knew what she was doing. He hooked his arm around her waist dragging her up to the surface with him. He slung her onto the edge, panting while his legs were still consumed by the water. He pulled himself up. He crawled over, he slapped her face. Nothing. "Shit Fuu, stupid. Dumb. Broad," He pushed on her lungs several times, hissing curses through his teeth. "Wake. The. Fuck. Up!"

Her eyes opened wide, she gasped rolling on her side. She spat water beside her and rolled onto her back once more; panting for much needed air. She looked up staring at Mugen, wide eyed. "You're here?" She sat up smiling as she put a hand to his cheek. He slapped it away.

"What the fuck were ya doin' in dat river huh?" He scowled, his eyes flaming with fury.

"I-I took a bath, that's al-"

"Don't bullshit me! Yo were drownin' yaself. Why Fuu why?" He shook her shoulders, frustrated with her.

"I wasn't drowning myself! I TOOK A BATH!" She shouted into his face.

He jumped up, pinning her against a tree. She shut up, he scared her so much at times like these. His body pressed against hers, his hands on either side of her face. "So why did you look like yo were nearly dead then?"

"I don't know...I..I never thought..." She looked away from him, his stare burning her pale flesh.

"Yo never thought what? I leave ya for a few hours and ya stuck ya head in a river...I swear" He pulled back, taking off his wet shirt. He chucked it into the dirt but he still stood looking at her. A tear left her eye as she blinked at him. She leant down pulling her kimono onto her shoulders, the material clinging to her wet limbs. He knew that she thought about it. He wasn't going to let it go either, if he decided to stay...He'd be there all the time and never leave her alone. She slid down the tree to sit, her kimono still open. She wiped her tears away with her sleeve and she looked at him, the stormy eyes had softened slightly and a frown was starting to appear on his lips.

"I'm sorry Mugen for being a bitch and saying I regretted my time with you. I lied to make you angry and it was wrong of me," She looked away from him, bringing her legs to her chest as more tears fell. "I'm truly sorry and I regret making you feel unwanted...because I do want you..."

She looked up and there he was inches away from her face with a smirk upon his lips. He sat cross legged with his hands on top of her small knees. "Ya are a bitch, I already know that shit!" He chuckled as Fuu punched him in the chest. "Don't get ya obi in a twist woman. I'll forgive ya if I get somethin' I want from ya..."He smiled slyly.

She smiled, she knew they were back to normal again since he was already joking about with her. "What's that then?" He pulled her legs around his waist, pulling her towards him as she wrapped her arms around his tanned shoulders. His hands rubbed her hips, he sure made her feel all warm inside. He kissed her and she forgot what she was even crying about, she melted under his touch. She could feel him smiling into the kiss...he never smiled just odd smirks. She pulled away, holding his face in her hands. "You never smile...why now?" She looked puzzling at him, he still beamed at her.

"Ya the only exception chick" He bit his lip and dived back into their previous action, his tongue pushing its way into her mouth as her tongue greeted his with a stroke. He gently stroked her stomach making his way up to her breasts and roughly grabbed them with his tanned hands. She broke the kiss looking down at the hands that had sneaked up onto her lumps. She smirked flirtatiously winking at him before grasping his manhood through his shorts. He gasped, his eyes widening at her act. Her grip tightened and he seriously couldn't take it, come on, take her. His instinct egged him on but he didn't want to, not after she nearly died. He still hadn't told her, no round 2 till I say it...ohh man, this girl doin' ma head in.

He took her hand off and breathed heavily, confusion painted onto her face. "No sex? Mugen refusing sex? Well who's a bitch now?"

He lay back bringing her down with him, her head rested on his chest and his hand rested on her stomach. Her cold, wet hair tickling and numbing his chest. He traced his fingers across her ribs, feeling her chest rise as she breathed. "Fish face is a foot away dumb ass, I ain't refusin' sex just yet girlie. I wanna talk to ya a sec..." She looked up at him, his eyes soft and she knew he was being serious. She rolled on top of him, resting her arms and head upon his chest. He looked at her, hands behind his head as he smiled at her.

"Go on then!" She dug her nail into his chest, impatience consuming her usual voice.

"Don't get ya obi in a twist okay?" She nodded "Erm..this whole thing we got goin' on. I sorta don't wanna stop...I..I liked ya a while now" He scratched his head, waiting for Fuu to reply to his confession.

She smiled, tracing her fingernail along his chest, "I know..."

Boom! Even if Jin's asleep he's still a cockblock...heheh. I hope you liked it! Review it pleaseeeee, I knwo I took forever but seriously this chapter was hard to write?
