R&R

Hey guys! I am so sorry for taking longer then usual to post this. At first it was because of school work... then it was because of Youtube and my addiction to it... and finally it was the mere fact that I wasn't fully satisfied with this OneShot.

Anyways, please pardon my rude lateness and read on. This oneshot wont be as mushy gushy as the last two but its still good:) Will probably post two today to make up for the wait:)

WARNING: The word Bitch is used pretty frequently in this oneshot. You have been warned lol.

ENJOY!

Oneshot 7: You Missed Me

by: AshAnime

"Hey, Bitch."

What?

"Hey, BITCH."

I said What?

"HEY BITCH!"

"WHAT?!"

Mugen rose a single jagged brow above his eye and leaned away from Fuu's face. It was possibly the scariest expression he had ever seen. "I was just tryin' to wake you up. Unless you want four-eyes and I to eat all the grub."

Fuu tried to relax the tense muscles in her face and succeeded in a small frown. She couldn't help scowling disdainfully at Mugen's retreating back. He just had to interrupt her amazing dream!

The jerk.

"Your food is getting cold Fuu," Jin called from over by the roasting fire.

Fuu sighed and pulled herself up from the many leaves that were arranged as a bed. She quietly walked over to the small stream that ran along their campsite and washed her face. Feeling a lot more refreshed, she walked over to her two companions and picked up a blackened fish.

"Wow, a little charred don't you think?" she commented, getting the stink-eye from Mugen.

"You've got no right to talk, girly," he growled, ripping the scorched fish flesh from its bones. "If you got your lazy ass up and made us some breakfast…"

"Me? Lazy?" Fuu huffed, pointing to herself. "Who washes our clothes when ever there's a chance? Who tends your wounds after a bad fight? Who puts together a good meal out of nothing?"

Both bodyguards looked at her with a blank expression.

"Me! That's who!"

"Whatever," Mugen spoke up, dismissing Fuu completely. "I never asked for all that."

About a million different come-backs flitted through Fuu's brain before she decided to just completely ignore the bastard all together. "Jin?" she said, turning to her other body guard in the hopes of some praise.

He looked up from nibbling on his burnt meal. "I am very thankful for all that you've done…"

"Your welcome!" Fuu exclaimed, giving Mugen a pointed glare.

"…but I have to agree with Mugen," Jin finished, getting a shocked gasp from Fuu. "Although I'm grateful, I never asked for your assistance… it's just in your nature."

The undignified girl struggled to respond. "No- I… that's not true… you-"

"Just face it, girly," Mugen jeered, cutting off her senseless babble. "We don't really need you."

Fuu dropped her second charred fish and glared. She wakes up late one morning and the boys are ready to jump down her throat about how much they don't need her. Well then! Why did she even bother with them? The sunflower samurai was found a year ago. She buried her father with no resentment in her heart and decided to move on.

But when did moving on mean traveling with these two?

"Fine!" she exclaimed, rising to her feet. "You two don't need me? Well… fine!"

Mugen and Jin glanced at each other before turning to a flustered Fuu. She zoomed around their campsite, gathering up the few things she had acquired over the year. It looked a lot like…

"Yer leaving?" Mugen inquired, wiping a peace of blackened fish off his chin.

"Yup!"

"You no longer need our service?" Jin asked.

"You bet!"

Mugen abruptly stood and began snuffing out the fire he worked very hard on. What the hell was Fuu's problem? Since when did she take their banter so seriously? "Well it was about time I was let loose from my leash. I gotta say I'm really glad I won't have to hear your nagging anymore."

Fuu turned to face Mugen but stopped. He didn't deserve the action. "Good for you," she muttered, placing the last item in her tiny sack and swinging it unto her shoulder. "Goodbye boys!"

And just like that, Fuu was gone.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"I can't believe the bitch actually left!" a heated Mugen exclaimed three minutes after Fuu's departure. He kicked at the ash filled fire pit and growled.

"She said she would," Jin informed, sounding matter-of-fact.

"Yeah… well… Fuu says a lot of things." Mugen slumped down to the grown and folded his wiry legs. He scratched his ankle and looked questioningly over at Jin's calm face. "I don't really feel like killin' ya anymore."

"Me neither."

"I mean I got better things to do…"

"As do I."

"Well." Mugen stood and scratched his head. "Guess I'll see you around or something."

Jin stood as well. "Yes I suppose that might happen."

"See ya." Mugen started walking in the opposite direction of Fuu. As soon as he was hidden deep within the thick forest he doubled back around and started in her direction. He didn't need Jin getting the wrong impression. He wasn't chasing after the Bitch or anything, he just… knew that it was only a matter of time before she got kidnapped.

"Ah! Ouch!"

"I knew it!" Mugen crashed the leaves in the direction of Fuu's outburst, ready to slice someone up. He'd take care of the bastard for her and then smirk as she groveled at his feet. "Oh thank you Mugen," he could hear her now. "If it weren't for you I don't know what might have happened."

"Stand back Fuu!" Mugen stumbled out of the thick forest and into a small clearing. He swung his sword threateningly with a sneer.

"Mugen?!" Fuu exclaimed, surprise lacing her words. "What in the world are you-?"

Mugen ignored a confused Fuu as she stood in the middle of the clearing. "Just shut up and let me take care of this, will ya?" he barked, swinging his sword and glancing around the clearing for the enemy.

Fuu sweat-dropped and tried to keep her eyebrow from twitching. "What exactly are you taking care of?"

"Yer kidnapper, duh." Mugen moved towards Fuu and kept his back to her. "The bastard must've ran away when he heard me coming."

Fuu glared at the back of Mugen's head and promptly swung her sack at it. The Ryukyu pirate clutched the giant bump that had begun to swell there and let out a string of curses. "What was that for?!"

"Being an idiot!" Fuu retorted, swinging her sack back unto her shoulder. "There's no kidnapper stupid!"

Mugen grimaced. "But I heard you hollering earlier!"

"My kimono got snagged on a branch and it cut my skin!" Fuu lifted the hem of her Kimono up to show the small gash that ran along her thigh. She quickly dropped the material after noticing Mugen's lingering gaze there. "I meant what I said, you know? I'm leaving… I can take care of myself."

Mugen got up and sheathed his sword. "Sure… whatever… just don't come running after me when ya get scared."

"I wont."

"Ok."

"Bye."

"See ya."

Mugen turned on his steel plated shoes and gave a half-hazard wave. He comes to her rescue and the bitch isn't even grateful, but that was fine with him. He was now free to do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. Sure that was somewhat the case when traveling with Jin and Fuu, except now he had no one tying him down.

"Mugen?"

Mugen halted to a stop and smirked. Had she chickened out already?

"What?"

"You missed me, didn't you?"

The look that crossed Mugen's sharp features was a mixture of a lot of things.

"You missed me," Fuu repeated. "So you found some ridiculous excuse for coming after me."

Mugen laughed and turned to face the teenage girl. "You think you're the shit, don't ya?"

"No," Fuu answered truthfully. "I think you actually enjoy my company and don't want to admit. Face it Mugen. Deep down inside you want someone there to take care of you."

Mugen started at Fuu incredulously. Was she seriously feeding this crap to him? What exactly made her think he needed her? "That's a loud of bull," he spat, crossing his arms defiantly. "I don't need anyone."

Fuu shrugged and turned on her heel. "It probably doesn't make any difference to you but… I missed you. Even if it was only for a few minutes."

"…."

"I guess I'll catch you later Mugen. Try to stay out of the brothels, will ya?"

Then Fuu was disappearing into the dense forest again, leaving Mugen to stare after her with a perplexed expression on his face. Somehow, someway, she always managed to get him thinking about things he didn't want to acknowledge. It was like she thought it to be her life-fulfilling duty to torture him. Ever since they found the Sunflower Samurai, Fuu had this eerie ability to get Mugen overanalyzing everything she did.

Kiss him on the cheek… then act like it was the most normal thing in the world.

Whisper things in Jin's ear… and then laugh out loud about it.

Cry late at night… when she thought everyone was asleep.

Mugen was really beginning to think there might be an art to it. He wanted to prove her wrong and storm back the way he came. Maybe find a beach and settle down near a good brothel.

But, of course, the lanky Ryukyu pirate found himself shadowing Fuu through the forest. It was only a matter of time before she got kidnapped again… and he'd get bored with no one to make fun of.

So he followed her, and listened for any screaming.

See? Not mushy gushy but still a hint of Mugen and Fuu. Anyways this wasn't my best and i'm kind of annoyed about that but I will try to post an AWESOME chap. 8 later today. And if not today, early tomorrow morning. PROMISE!

Thank you to everyone who waited patiently. Love you lots!
