Also there will be lemon in this chapter, you have been warned.

Well back to it!

Enjoy!

Fuu sat across from Mugen, staring at him as he ate two helpings of rice and roasted fish. She shouldn't really be surprised, the guy eats like a pig. Fuu glanced down at her bowl of rice and fish, it was untouched.

She wished she would eat. But she never really has an appetite, she hasn't been sleeping very well either. Not since that night...

"Mommy... Hurts..."

Fuu shook her head. No. She won't think of that night. She can't without breaking down.

Mugen watched Fuu as she stared down at her food. He took this time to examine her. She seemed completely void of any emotion, she looked skinnier than he last saw her but had some kind of aura of around her. Her eyes were dull and cold, not warm or kind. She didn't smile, not anymore.

He knew about the brother, Umanosuke, about what he did to her. He also knew what he did to her. But when he left that morning after their incident, after they parted ways, there was a smile on her face. A sad smile, but a smile.

What else happened to Fuu?

He needed to know, but before he could ask Fuu looked up at him with cold eyes.

"What are you doing here, Mugen? Why have you come back to this place?" She asked.

Mugen looked around the small hut, it looked like nobody has lived here for years. He remembered that Fuu had carried both him and Jin back to this hut after the fight with the brothers. He remembered that she tended to the both day and night, not dealing with her own problems. She took care of them, she brought Mugen back from the brink of death.

"Feelin' nostalgic, I guess." He lied. He still couldn't tell her. Fuu stared at him before shrugging, taking the excuse. She knew he was lying, but she didn't care enough to ask.

"Didn't know nostalgic was in your vocabulary." She muttered. Mugen rolled his eyes.

"What are ya doin' here, Girly? What happened to ya? How did ya learn how to fight?" Mugen asked, leaning towards her.

Fuu sighed, she supposed she should tell him. After all, it did involve him in some type of way.

"What happened to me? Well... A lot happened to me." She said. Mugen stared at her as she looked off towards the wall. He stayed quiet as the air became tense. "After we parted ways, I couldn't settle down like I previously wanted. I didn't want a husband, I didn't want a house, I didn't want anything. It's like traveling was a part of me, my mother always said I had a wandering soul..." She said, smiling sadly. Mugen noticed that the smile didn't reach her eyes. "But soon after I was traveling, I found out I was pregnant." She admitted.

Mugen's eyes widened.

Pr... Pregnant?

"I thought I was carrying the child of the man who took my innocence and comfort... But as fate would have it, it turned out to be your child." She said.

Mugen felt his jaw drop. He had a child? Where was this child?

"She had curly brown hair that seemed like a bush and stormy grey eyes like you... I named her Kaiyo because you liked the ocean so much." She said, thinking back to her baby girl. "But fate decided that shouldn't be in this world."

Mugen felt a pain go through him. He felt pain for his child and the woman before him, the woman he fell in love with.

"Even after I had Kaiyo, I still traveled. I don't know why, I guess I was searching for something. Every month, the last day of the month, we would meet up with Jin and Shino in Edo. Just to reunite and talk about things that were going on in our lives." Fuu explained. Fuu was brought back to that night. "We were traveling to Edo, we were running late because we woke up late and it soon turned night."

"Mommy. Tired." Kaiyo said. Her brown curly hair was bushy, Fuu gave up on trying to put it in cute little hairstyles. That hair had a mind of her own. She looked up at Fuu with tired eyes and Fuu smiled warmly at her. She picked up the tanned child and held her tightly.

"I know baby. Just a lil' longer and we can eat with Uncle Jin and Aunt Shino." Fuu promised.

"Food!" Kaiyo giggled happily. Fuu smiled down warmly at her daughter.

This little girl healed her heart from the moment she was born. She gave Fuu a purpose. She loved Fuu no matter what. She loved that about her little girl. Her light. Her ocean flower.

"A group of bandits that have been in the area came to us, they said they wanted money... When I gave that to them, they weren't satisfied..."

"Please! Don't hurt my girl! Just let us go!" Fuu pleaded.

One bandit grinned at her. "We're gonna do what we want with you and the child!" He shouted, slapping her hard. Fuu fell to the ground as they picked up Kaiyo. She looked up at her frightened daughter with fear in her eyes.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Kaiyo shouted, reaching for her.

"It's okay, baby... Don't look."

"They raped me, right in front of Kaiyo... They cut me up, leaving me in scars. Then after they were done with me, they stabbed Kaiyo in the stomach... They stabbed an one year old in the stomach." She said, her voice shaking now.

Fuu crawled over to her daughter, crying. She reached her and grabbed her, holding her tightly as she applied pressure to the wound in the stomach. Kaiyo looked up at her, pain written all over her face. Fuu let out a choked sob.

"It's okay, baby... Stay with me..." She sobbed.

"Mommy... Hurts..." Kaiyo squeaked out as she whimpered in pain. Fuu flinched.

"I know, baby. Mommy's gonna fix it." Fuu promised. "You just gotta stay awake... Stay awake for mommy." Fuu pleaded. She already saw the life fading from the girl's eyes and she suddenly felt panicked.

"Mommy..." Fuu looked at the girl, Kaiyo smiled warmly at her and her eyes widened. "S'okay mommy..." She choked out. "Love you, mommy." She said. And then, she was gone.

"No..." Fuu muttered. She felt tears stream down her face, there was a pain in her chest like someone had punched a hole in her chest. "Kaiyo... Wake up. Come on don't do this to me baby... Please..." Her vision was fading, she felt the pain from her wounds and she slumped over.

"I thought I was going to follow Kaiyo, but Jin and Shino had gotten worried. They found me and saved me in the time, but they couldn't do anything for Kaiyo. I was asleep for two weeks and laid up in bed for another two weeks." Fuu explained. Mugen felt a sting in his eyes and shook his head. He wouldn't cry. No, men don't cry. He clenched his fists and glared at his legs angrily.

"Where are the bastards?" He asked angrily.

Fuu looked up. "Huh?"

"Where are the bastards who did this? Do ya remember who did this, Fuu?" He asked. Fuu smiled a cold smile and Mugen felt a cold chill go down his spine.

"Oh, them? They're dead." Fuu said coldly. He heard the slight pleasure in her voice. Mugen's eyes widened as he stared at Fuu. She just smiled. "The good thing about being stuck watching you two fight is the fact that you learn a couple things. I took Jin's fluid fighting style and your unpredictability and combined them. I came up with my own fighting style." Fuu said, grinning. Mugen just stared in awe as she pulled out her two long daggers. "I got your old tanto and my tanto lengthened to long daggers."

She must be a good fight... I wanna see... Mugen thought, staring at her curiously.

"I practiced and practiced behind Jin's back. He doesn't think women should fight. I managed to track down the bandits and I killed them all."

"W-who are you?" The bandit asked, a grave injury on his arm. Fuu just grinned down at him coldly, blood all over her.

"You don't remember me? I'm hurt." Fuu said, faking pain. "I'm the woman who was traveling with her daughter, you hurt me and killed my daughter so I thought I should slaughter your whole group." Fuu said coldly.

The man's eyes widened slightly with recognition. Fuu smiled coldly. "Please... Don't k-kill me." He said, fear in his voice.

Fuu's smile faded as she stared at him with a dangerous look. "You took the only the that made me happy. You're gonna pay with your life." She said menacingly. With a flick of her wrist, she sliced the man's throat. She watched as he gurgled up blood and she watched the life fade from his eyes.

"After that, I've just been traveling everywhere." Fuu concluded.

Mugen stared at her in shock. "Ya had my child, then lost the child, and then killed every single one of the bandits?" Mugen asked. Fuu nodded and then stood up abruptly.

"We should go to sleep." Fuu said. And with that the conversation ended. The minds of both fighters going crazy with strong emotions.

"Mommy."

Fuu looked at the little girl, smiling lovingly at her. "Yes, baby?"

"Who daddy?"

Two simple words that rocked Fuu to her very core. Fuu sighed, she should've saw this coming sooner. She saw the look of longing on Kaiyo's face when they would pass through a village and a child was being held by a man. She saw the faint looks of something being missing from her life.

"Well, your daddy is traveling just like us." Fuu started. Kaiyo looked at her mother with wide eyes. "He's a fighter, just like Uncle Jin but not a samurai... He helped me through a lot."

"See daddy?" Kaiyo questioned.

Fuu sighed and smiled down at her daughter. "Maybe one day, if fate should let us."

Fuu sat up abruptly, feeling sticky from her sweat. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair as she stood up. She needed some air.

Fuu walked out of the house and down to the stream, unaware that a certain pirate was following her. Mugen lurked in the shadows as Fuu sat down near the stream. She looked up at the starry sky, her eyes held sadness. Fuu began to think about Kaiyo, what her daughter from her and her father. She sighed and smiled a sad smile, humming quietly.

"Her early morning attitude, you have to drag her out of bed... Only onigiri will do... She got that from me... Yeah, she got that from me." Fuu sang quietly.

Mugen's eyes widened, it's been a while since he's heard her sing. She was singing about their daughter. So Kaiyo had her mother's attitude.

Mugen smirked to himself. He remembered when Fuu would hate to get woken up to leave. She wasn't much of a morning person, there was a time where Mugen had to literally pick her up and throw her in a river just so she would wake up. Then she would demanded some onigiri.

"Her curly hair and her knobby knees, the way the sun brings those freckles out. Talks and talks, never miss a beat... She got that from me... Yeah, she got that from me."

Fuu felt like she was in pain everyday remembering her daughter. Kaiyo was like half her father and half of Fuu put together. She got her curly hair from Fuu, Fuu's hair is naturally curly. Kaiyo was just as clumsy as she was, her knobby knees bumping together as she stumbled over herself. And when they traveled and the sun was beating down, their freckles would come out.

Fuu smiled softly. And boy, that girl could talk without knowing much words. They would get into little arguments and Kaiyo would be yapping her ear off.

"She looked at me with those big grey eyes, she's got me in the palm of her hands..." Fuu sang, her voice rising a bit.

Mugen watched Fuu, seeing a vision of a little girl next to her. He sighed softly, wishing he was there for her. If he stayed, then maybe their daughter would still be alive.

"And I swear sometimes, it was like he was there again." Mugen's eyes widened slightly. Was she talking of him now? "She smiled that little crooked smile, there's no denying she's your child... Without her I still don't know what I'd do... She got that from you... Yeah, she got that from you..."

Fuu swore that when Kaiyo looked up Fuu, she saw Mugen. And when she'd smile that little crooked childish smile, she couldn't deny that Kaiyo was the daughter of Mugen. She sighed... She still doesn't know what she'd do without her.

Mugen listened to her song, feeling bittersweet. So Kaiyo was like him also? She had his eyes, his smile... What else?

"How she loved your old tanto." Mugen looked at her with wide eyes. "Yeah, she tried to fight with it." Fuu sang, her words warm.

So, Kaiyo had a love for swords also? Mugen felt some sort of pride spread through him. His daughter would've taken the fighting path, just like him.

"She melted my heart, told me she loved me everyday." Fuu smiled. Kaiyo would tell her she loved her so much and call her pretty everyday, it would melt her heart. "And cracks a joke at the perfect time, makes me laugh when I wanna cry... That girl was everything to me... She got that from you."

Fuu chuckled softly. When she was feeling down, she would make Fuu laugh when she just wanted to break down and cry. That girl was everything to her, her very being...

"One night I heard her pray... "Lord, help me and mommy make it through... And watch over daddy too, okay?"."

Mugen stared at her in shock, her voice was quivering. She was about to cry, but that's not what surprised Mugen. It was the fact that his daughter, who didn't even know him, prayed for him.

The love for a father runs deep, Mugen. Fuu had said that one time...

"And even though she didn't know you... She said she missed you... Yeah, she really missed you..." Fuu sang. Mugen felt a pain in his chest. His daughter wanted to see him and he never showed. He let her down. He let the both of them down... "She got that from me."

Mugen stared at Fuu. Fuu missed him too?

He heard crying and decided to come out. He wouldn't run away this time. He walked over to Fuu's crying form and grabbed her in a hug. Fuu's eyes widened as she turned around to see red. Did Mugen hear all that?

"Let me go, Mugen." She warned, her voice shaking.

"No." Mugen replied stubbornly.

"I said, let me go!" She shouted, pounding her little fists into his chest. He didn't care, he wasn't going to let go. "Let me go! Go away! You've done it before! Just leave!" She shouted.

"I'm sorry."

Fuu stopped hitting him and her eyes widened. Two little words that rocked Fuu to her very core. He never apologized for anything. She felt the tears coming faster and she cried into his chest. "I lost her... I lost our baby..." She sobbed. Mugen just held her, looking up at the starry sky.

Fuu laid in bed, looking at the wall. Mugen watched her and sighed. "Fuu." He said.

Fuu turned and looked at Mugen, her eyes wide. "Huh?" She replied.

"C'mhere." He said. Fuu raised a brow but complied. She scooted closer to Mugen and Mugen wrapped his arms around her, he stared down at her. He wants her, he needs her. It's okay, right? Mugen leaned down and kissed her soft pink lips. He felt warmth spread through him and suddenly his instincts came over.

Damn... the little bitch.

Fuu eye's widened, but she melted in the kiss tangling her fingers through his hair. Soon hands were wandering everywhere, Mugen went to untie her obi and Fuu froze. Mugen noticed and recoiled, sitting up. He coked his head to the side. "Ya okay?" He asked.

"I have scars, all over my body." Fuu said quietly. "They're ugly."

Mugen stared at her before kissing her hard. Before Fuu could get into the kiss, Mugen pulled away. He looked at her with a determined look. "I don't care 'bout that girly shit, to me you're just Fuu." He said. Fuu stared at him in shock and felt tears welling up in her eyes.

Fuu began to untie her obi and take off her kimono along with her bindings and her shorts. She looked up at Mugen sheepishly, covering her body. Mugen's eyes roamed over her scarred figure. He saw one hug scar on her stomach, that must've been from the bandits. She's gotten curvier, her breasts larger and her hips wider. Her pale skin glowed in the moonlight. He reached up and pulled the chopstick out of her hair, her hair had gotten longer. They fell down in curly locks. She looked beautiful.

"Damn Girly..." Was all he said.

Fuu blushed as he bent down to kiss her. His hands roaming everywhere, she felt hot and full of lust. Fuu moaned out when Mugen's mouth connected with her pink nipple of her supple breast. "M-Mugen." She moaned out.

Mugen held back a smirk, he still made him this way. He doesn't think he can't wait any longer. "Girly..." He mumbled.

"It's okay." Fuu replied, smiling warmly at him. That same warm smile that knocked the breath out of his lungs, still does.

Mugen swiftly took of his gi along with his shirt and shorts. Fuu took this moment to look over his form. He's gotten stronger, more muscle, but he's still lanky. She noticed some the scars, some she treated and some she hasn't. She reached up and kissed the scar on his shoulder, the one Umanosuke gave him. One of the many.

Mugen growled slightly and pushed her back down, trying to keep control. He slowly entered Fuu as Fuu whimpered in pain. It's been a while...

"Ya okay?" Mugen asked, through gritted teeth.

"Yeah, you can move." She assured.

Mugen nodded and kissed her forehead, thrusting in and out of her slowly. Fuu looked up at his scrunched up face and smiled warmly. He was trying to be gentle. Fuu grabbed Mugen's face and Mugen looked at her wide eyes. "Mugen it's okay, I won't break." She said. Mugen stared at her. "You're a wild person so go wild."

Mugen groaned and smashed his lips to hers, before thrusting in and out of her quickly. Fuu moaned out quietly, wrapping her arms and legs around him. She dug her nails into his back, drawing blood as she arched. Mugen didn't care, he liked pain.

Fuu felt that knot in her stomach and her moans got louder, Mugen felt her walls clench around him as he began to move faster. "C'mon babe, take us away." He muttered in her ear. Fuu moaned and came hard, Mugen following soon after a few more thrusts. Mugen rolled over and Fuu was surprised when he pulled her to him.

This wasn't at all like the last time... Fuu felt her eyes get heavy, she began to drift off and Mugen watched her sleep with some sort of affection.

He realized that Fuu has changed drastically in the two years they've been apart. She's been through so much. She's been beaten, raped, had a kid, then have that kid taken away from her... She's no longer that warm and bubbly girl he once knew, she's a woman now.

"Mugen..." Fuu muttered in her sleep. She cuddled closer to him, hugging him tightly. He looked down at her curiously. "Love you, Mugen..." She whispered.

Mugen felt his heart beat faster as he held her tighter. He felt the overwhelming need to protect, just like he had when they met and traveled Japan together. He moved her hair out of her face. Some things never change though. "Yeah... Same here, Girly..." He muttered.

Well that's it!

So Fuu had Mugen's child but that child was killed by a group of bandits, thus creating Fuu into a killer. That's why Fuu changed so much. And she didn't get taught by Jin, she taught herself. She created her own style of fighting, combining Jin's preciseness and Mugen's unpredictability. Mugen taught himself how to fight so I thought Fuu should teach herself also.

Sorry it took so long to update this, I've been helping out a friend with a story.

In the next chapter, shit will fall pretty quickly. It has to now that Mugen and Fuu are reunited. Jin should also be coming back soon! Yay!

Well that's all! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed! Lemme know what you think!
