Oneshot 24: AMAZING!
by AshAnime
It was the night of the New Years festival and Fuu was in her sourest mood to date. She had painstakingly planned this magical evening a week in advance and now that the glorious night had come she had absolutely nothing to show for her hard work. Jin had gotten food poisoning, of all things, the night before and couldn't leave his bed without throwing up. Mugen, the sly dog, had somehow managed to slip away from Fuu and now she had no idea where he was.
All she wanted was a fun night out with her boys.
"Where are you Mugen you jerk?!" she bellowed into the crowd, only to receive weird stares from the people around her. Sighing, Fuu reached into the little bag she had bought to match her red and white flowered kimono. It had a small strap that fit securely around her wrist. "Found it!"
Fuu pulled out a list, one that she had put together ever since she found out the town would be holding a New Years festival. Originally her plan was to enjoy the activities on this piece of paper with Jin and Mugen, but since they were both MIA at the moment she had no choice but to go it alone.
The frazzled girl sighed.
"Again Samurai again!"
Fuu looked up and shoved her list back into her bag. She stood on her tiptoes and peered over the mass of heads to see that a small group of girls had formed around a lone figure at the edge of the festival. They clapped, cheered, smiled and huddled closer, their beautiful figures clearly seen because of their tight kimonos.
Fuu rolled her eyes and was about to ignore the idiots all together, until she caught sight of a head full of scruffy black hair. "Mugen?!" she squawked, eyes widening and feet taking her in that direction before even she herself realized it. "Mugen what do you think you-"
"AMAZING!"
Fuu reached the edge of the small crowd of girls just in time to see Mugen do a somersault across the wooden fence around the festival. He spun on one foot, his gi floating around him, and came to an abrupt halt with his back to the crowd of women. Suddenly, the samurai plopped unto his butt and then flung himself backwards.
Fuu reflexively reached out to catch him, wondering in panic if the idiot planned on going home with a concussion, but Mugen's head didn't hit the ground. The back of his legs caught the railing of the wooden fence and the girls stared in awe as he flashed them a crooked grin from upside down. As much as Fuu despised these girls for seeming so desperate, she too leaned forward at the sight of Mugen's hard abs on full display. They seemed sharp to the touch.
"Well aren't you quite the entertainer," a well developed brunette spoke up from the crowd, boldly taking a step forward. Mugen crossed his arms, still in an upside down position, and graced her with the smuggest of grins.
"I don't aim to please anybody lady, just myself."
The women raised a single brow seductively and reached out to the pirate with a confident hand. Fuu could feel every single person hold their breath until the women's pale hand landed on Mugen's cheek. Everyone leaned as far as they could go as the mysterious lady's face came dangerously close to Mugen's and her plump lips whispered something in his ear.
Fuu decided that she had seen enough.
"Mugen!"
The lustful glint in his eyes immediately fizzled as Mugen caught sight of Fuu's glare. She could tell he was annoyed. After all he was really close to getting laid for free, but quite honestly the teenage girl could care less. She wasn't going to let Mugen and his flirting ruin her night.
"Fuu?" Mugen flipped over the railing, receiving a gasp from the easily amazed crowd, and sauntered over to her livid form. "You found me."
"Yes," she spat, placing her hands on her hips. "I did. Now Let's go. There's a lot we have to do before the fireworks start."
"Don't go!" one of the starry eyed girls called out. Some one else agreed and soon the whole lot of them were begging Mugen to stay. He looked back at them and smirked before turning to shrug in Fuu's direction.
"Ain't got nothing else better to do," he told her and slipped back into the crowd of women before Fuu could even open her mouth again.
"Yes you do," she muttered, frowning. "You were supposed to be having fun with me."
"It's not so easy, grabbing his attention, is it?"
Fuu's eyes shot up and held the gaze of the seductive brunette. A sneer immediately graced her features at the sight of the well endowed woman. It was women like her that seemed to always get what they wanted. Even when they didn't deserve it.
"Who says I want Mugen's attention?" Fuu snapped back at the nosy woman, turning on her heel so she could go and try to somewhat enjoy herself.
"My name's Mizuki, yours?" the persistent lady spoke up.
Fuu sighed and turned around. "Fuu. My name's Fuu. Why are you-"
"I can help you."
Fuu blinked. "What do you mean you can-"
"I can help you grab his attention and maybe even keep it," Mizuki explained, circling the confused girl with calculating eyes. "I know a few tricks of the trade that always work when it comes to catching a man's eye."
Fuu gulped. "What trade… exactly?"
Mizuki answered that question with a red lipped smile. "Now, let's see what we can do with what you have."
The samurai's daughter tried to hold in her squeaks of surprise and discomfort as Mizuki tugged on her behind a stall selling masks. Her bindings were wrapped tighter underneath her breasts, making it seem like she actually had cleavage. Mizuki's nimble fingers pinned the chop sticks in her hair even higher. "To elongate the neck," was the older women's reasoning. Finally, Fuu pursed her lips as Mizuki used her own bottle of red paint and dabbed it on her. "Now your lips look full and inviting."
The mask stall owner tried not to ogle as he allowed Fuu and Mizuki to use his mirror. Fuu herself tried not to let her eyes bulge when she saw her reflection. She almost asked the man if his mirror was known for pulling tricks. Surely the girl staring back at her was not herself. This girl… no, this women, was five years older and looked like she had experience in things Fuu could only dream of.
"Wow," she breathed. Her fingertips trembled as she reached up to touch her cheek. Sure enough, the girl in the reflection did the same thing. It was definitely her… Fuu. It was as if Mizuki had slipped a mask unto her face.
"Like it?" the dark haired beauty asked, turning Fuu so that she was staring at her.
"I don't just like it," Fuu blurted, mouth quirking into a smile. "I love it!"
Mizuki smiled too. "Glad I could help. Now go out there and grab your man's attention!"
Fuu blushed. "I sure wish I could pay you something… anything. I think I have enough to-"
"No, no, this was free of charge."
Fuu's shoulder's slumped. "Why did you do this for me? I'm just a stranger."
Mizuki seemed to think about this answer for a second before shrugging. "I guess you remind me a lot of myself when I was younger. There was… this boy I liked, and no matter how much I practically flung myself at him, he just wouldn't pay attention to me. If I knew the tricks I know now, I'm sure I would have snagged him."
Fuu nodded and smiled.
"But now it's your turn," Mizuki encouraged. "Go and show your pirate that you're not a little girl anymore."
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
After leaving Mizuki, Fuu was filled with the confidence of a thousand soldiers, but as soon as she caught sight of Mugen swinging his sword around for a couple of women, her resolve crumbled. What was she thinking? Did she really believe Mugen would take her seriously in this get up?
"This is stupid," she whispered to herself, folding her arms in defeat. "Why do I even care what Mugen thinks anyways?"
"Fuu?"
Fuu had turned to go but stopped at the sound of surprise in Mugen's voice. She turned back around to see him giving her a confused look and the other ladies frowning at her. It seems she had ruined their fun.
Fuu twisted her hands in her kimono and took a shy step forward. She could feel the heat crawling along her chest and traveling up her neck as Mugen walked towards her with a calculating gaze.
"Let's go, Nami," one of the girls whispered, "It's obvious he isn't interested in us anymore." The two left, leaving Mugen and Fuu in an awkward silence.
"What the fuck is that, all over your lips?" he blurted, his eyebrows crinkling.
Fuu blushed even harder and averted her gaze. She was right. This was a stupid idea. A very big mistake. Why did she think, for even one second, that Mugen would see her any differently?
"And all of a sudden you've got tits," he continued, not at all sounding as pleased as Mizuki said he would be. Fuu felt her eyes dampening with prickling tears and wondered why Mugen's words were effecting her so much.
"You look like you just walked out of a fucking brothel. When did you-"
"God, I'm so stupid!" she exploded, catching Mugen by complete surprise. "I actually thought that you'd compliment me for once, but of course I was wrong!"
His face scrunched up with indignation. "What the hell are you talking about? You walk up to me looking like yer trying to get laid and all yer fishing for is a compliment? Spend the whole night dressed like that girly, and yer going to get more then you asked for."
Fuu rubbed at her puffy eyes and tried to still the trembling in her voice. "I wasn't- I'm not trying to put out or anything! I just…"
"You just what?" Mugen spat. "Wanna get raped?"
"Mugen, you jerk! I wanted you to noticed me!" She pulled on the chopsticks in her hair until they clattered to the ground, the only noise that could be heard where they were standing. Her hands flew to her lips and tried to scrub the color away, grunting in frustration when all of it wouldn't come off.
"Fuu-"
"It won't come off," she mumbled against her stained hand, her tears running freely now. She probably looked like a complete and total mess. Her hair was disheveled and her mouth was smudged red. Her whole night was ruined and all because she wanted to look pretty for Mugen, of all people. She spent most of the night getting all dolled up and vying for his attention, instead of enjoying herself.
The fireworks were about to start and she was miserable.
"Stop."
Fuu stilled as Mugen's large and calloused hands grabbed her wrists, pulling her hands away from her face. "When you came over here looking ten times older I didn't compliment you because all I could think about was how many bastards were staring at you, wishing they could get a piece of you."
Fuu sniffled and tried to hide the tinge of pink that had returned to her cheeks.
"You definitely got my attention, girly," Mugen grumbled, "but not in a good way."
"Well then you should have told me right away, idiot!" she exclaimed, snatching her wrists away from him and pummeling his chest. "Instead of making me feel like I'm ugly, even with all this on!"
Mugen shrugged, not at all phased by her tiny fists. "You look better with out all that crap."
Fuu's flying fists froze, and her eyes slowly rose to meet the pirate's before her. "You… really mean that?"
Mugen snorted. "When do I ever say shit I don't mean?"
She smiled. "I wish you were like this every day."
"Like what?"
"Nice to me."
Mugen frowned.
"It's true. You never-"
Fuu's heart stopped when she felt Mugen's lips against hers. They were warm… and inviting. Without even thinking she leaned forward and tilted her head to the right, grabbing his scruffy face.
When Mugen had seen her made up face kissing looked like it was far from his mind. But there he was, grabbing her around the waist when she looked like a complete and total mess. Her eyes were red and puffy, her hair was tangled, and red was smeared across her swollen lips, but he kissed her anyways.
And that simple fact meant more then any compliment he could ever give her.
"You're going to get this red stuff all over your face," she murmured against his mouth.
Mugen's tongue darted through her parted lips, startling her. "I don't care." His voice was gruff and out of breath. Fuu never heard him like this, not even when he was in the middle of a good fight.
"The fact… that you feel this way about me… means a lot Mugen," she managed to get out in between kisses.
The pirate pulled away from her and opened his mouth to speak, but a large BOOM in the sky cut him off.
"Fireworks!" Fuu cheered, her eyes alighting with the bursting colors.
Mugen didn't turn away from her cheerful smile, he simply couldn't. As soon as his lips touched hers everything he thought he knew about Fuu vanished. It was replaced by something else… something he couldn't quite name.
"Remember when I used them to save you and Jin?!" she asked, shouting over the thundering crackles and pops. "Aren't they Amazing?!"
Mugen didn't answer her, he simply slung an arm around her shoulder and Fuu giggled, clutching his waist. Her large brown eyes hardly blinked as they observed the twinkling lights. He wondered if she knew how amazing it was that one, innocent and young girl saved two rogues from being executed. How amazing it was that ever since he stepping into that tea shop, asking for dumplings, he never stopped protecting her. How amazing it was that they had even kissed in the first place, because Mugen had been sure for so long that she would never ever even consider him.
"Forget the lights and kiss me," he whispered gruffly into her ear, causing Fuu to shiver.
She tried to cool her heated cheeks and laughed it off. "Mugen we don't get to see fireworks all the time, we can always kiss later," she argued, pulling away from his searching lips.
"Come on, girly. You can't just give me a taste and then be a tease about it."
"I am not being a tease!"
"Oh yeah? Well…"
And they continued to argue, the bursts of colorful light illuminating their figures, because that what Mugen and Fuu did. It didn't mater how many kisses they shared, they would always get under each other's skin. It was how things had always worked for them, expect this time Mugen wasn't thinking about finally ditching her annoying ass and escaping to a pub.
He was wondering if Fuu realized just how amazing she truly was.
Moral of The Story: Boys don't wear make up so they don't care about make up. If you start talking and hanging out with a guy without all that stuff on your face don't feel like you have to cake it on in order to take the next step. If he kept talking to you and hanging out with you w/o all of it on it means he likes YOU for YOU. The make up only distracts from your awesome personality:) (P.S I am not dissing anyone who wears make up or even people who wear light make up. I'm just saying don't be insecure about yourself because really it all comes down to personality.)
LUV YOU:)
