The Lump

Teh Captin

Amoungst the empty sake bottles, Fuu slumbered peacefully. Several feet away by the fire, Jin and Mugen were talking in whispers.

"Haven't you ever wondered..."

"Honorable men do not trouble themselves with such things."

"Come on, I've seen you looking. You gotta admit-"

"Hn." Jin folded his arms into his sleeves, trying to stress that he wanted this conversation to end. "It is a nice night out tonight. It's slow. The stars are clear. It should be fair weather tomorrow."

"I mean you just can't tell-"

"Should be easy to travel in.."

"what size-"

"We should make good time."

"they are."

Jin shot his "companion" a dirty look. "I've already said I don't trouble myself with such things. I'm not like you."

"Pssh, then you're not into girls?"

"I didn't say that-"

"Must be so."

"I just mean-"

"I mean if you don't think about such things-"

"It's just not something I think about constantly."

"Constantly?"

"Alright, I have thought about it, maybe once."

"Well it is perplexing. You just can't tell can you? I mean, I'm an expert. I'd say their small- nonexistant even, but I could be wrong."

"Its the clothes."

"Yeah, you just can't tell."

"Not that it matters."

"I just want to know."

"I don't really care.."

"Maybe just a peek..." Mugen turned around to leer at the slumbering young girl, her hand still curled around a bottle. "Trouble is she keeps it tied so fucking tight." He got on hands and knees and crawled towards her, his hand reaching out to part her kimono slightly.

Fuu snored, Mugen retracted his hand.

"Ah-can't...eat...anymore..." Mugen heaved a sigh of relief and replaced the hand, and began to cup on of the breasts from the outside of the kimono.

"Hn. I dunno. It feels kinda big.." He said to Jin, moving his hand slightly. "Hey whats this.." On the side of Fuu's breast he felt a lump, something squishy and round that shouldn't be there. "Theres... a third one?"

"A third?"

"Yeah, inbetween the two.."

"This isn't good.." Jin said, shocked.

"You think shes deformed or something?"

"No, I've heard of this sickness. When women get these lumps- they get really sick. It's a bad thing to happen. Perhaps Fuu is dying. It must be.."

Mugens mind reeled, Fuu dying? That perky little bitch. He just couldn't see it.. She was so young. He squeezed the lump and felt it rise. "Jin! I think its getting bigger!" He began to panic. He couldn't let Fuu die! Truth be told, no matter how much he teased her he had a rather large soft spot for her. She was certianly cute, even if he wouldn't admit it. In that naive, bitchy, chew your head off kind of way.

"I'm going to try to pull it off!" Mugen growled.

"I don't think that that can be done.." Jin replied.

"I don't care!" Mugen said, plunging his hand into Fuu's kimono. His hand grasped the strange appendage and began to squeeze violently. It squeaked. He squeezed again. It squeaked again. Suddenly a burning pain ran through his hand and he screamed, yanking his hand free only to pull out a small squirrel with it.

"AHH! AHHHHHHHHH! FUCK!" Mugen howled, waving his hand in the air, trying to get it off. "It fucking bit me!"

"MUGEN! WHAT THE WERE YOU DOING?" Fuu shouted, sitting up.

"Get it off, get it off.."

"It appears the lump was merely.."

"Momo!" Fuu called, the tiny animal was now attached to Mugen's face. It detached itself and floated over to Fuu. "Good Momo. Mugen! I can't believe you were..doing what you were doing.. And Jin! How could you let him!"

"I was only-"

"We-"

"SHUT UP! I don't want to hear your lame excuses. Come on, Momo, lets go back to sleep." Fuu said, curling into a ball on the ground. "Stupid boys..."

"So?" Jin whispered when he though Fuu was asleep once more.

"I'm still not sure. I'll have to see them."

"I HEARD THAT!"
