Chapter 1:The Agency

It'd been six months since the trio stopped travelling together. Six months and Fuu missed the two bodyguards, they travelled for two years together. She felt like a family. She was seventeen now and not much changed. She understood why she missed Jin, he was like a father to her. Yes, he was quiet and but he was there for her, he seemed to be a voice of reasoning hence why he was the father figure amongst the trio. What she didn't understand was how she missed the foul-mouthed, ill-tempered, disgusting, perverted pig that was Mugen. He was irresponsible with the travelling money spending it on women and sake, always picking fights with people that apparently 'pissed him off'.

He was so annoying but she somehow missed that annoying vagabond in her life, not hearing the clicks of his geta behind her. Not hearing him grunt or curse her when she nagged or being constantly called names. She got too used to them being there with her and now it was back to reality.

She worked in a teahouse again just like on the day she met them. She sighed as she finished work waving goodbye to the owners as she walked home to the abandoned hut. She lived just outside a small village in a hut upon a hill. It was quiet, just how Mugen would of liked it. She slid open the door wishing Jin or Mugen would visit. "Let's make dinner Momo" she said tiredly.

The little squirrel Momo, jumped out her Kimono soaring into the kitchen waiting for Fuu to trudge in after. Fuu placed her pink, charmed tanto on the side hurriedly making some rice balls and miso to eat. Once finished she sat alone with Momo upon her shoulder as she inhaled her food when suddenly-

BOOM! Her hut door was kicked down. Several guards came in grabbing Fuu who didn't hesitate to grab her tanto before leaving. What was this? she thought, it's been like the fifteenth time she's been kidnapped these past two years. What was she some idiot with labels or tattoos saying 'KIDNAP ME'. Last time she checked she wasn't. She expected to be taken to a brothel or just held as hostage as pirates invaded the town. She'd had enough experience with this sort of thing, but Mugen and Jin weren't here.

Shit, she thought. I've never got away without them helping. I'm screwed. She was dragged into a cart where more guards in armour sat smiling with yellow, crooked teeth and smirks on their lips. She was about to turn and run but something banged her head and her vision was plunged to darkness.

She suddenly heard birds chirping, her vision slowly coming back. From what she saw she was in a house somewhere, one hand to her sore head she slowly raised herself to a sitting position. A door was open revealing a garden of trees and the chirping birds. She still had her Kimono on which was a good sign she wasn't in a brothel but where the hell was she then? She looked around and spotted a silhouette outside the door leading to the room, she gulped. A few more silhouettes joined the first, muffled talk being exchanged but Fuu couldn't understand it. The door was sliding open, she panicked and lay back down acting like she was still unconscious.

She hoped they believed she was still out cold. Three voices entered the room. "So this is her?" One asked.

" Yes, they found her in an abandoned hut outside a town." the second said.

"Well, let's wake her up!" a third impatient voice growled.

It reminded her of Mugen, snarls, grunts and growls. His little smirk and animal-like behaviour, he was a mystery that man. Her thoughts ended when she felt wood being hit quite hard into her back, she cried out rolling over suddenly. She jumped up with a livid look upon her face.

"Hey!," she shouted "What was that for?"

"Ahh feisty girl isn't she?" they all nodded in agreement.

"Who are you? Where am I? Why am I here?" she demanded angered by their comments.

"Well we are an agency that finds old brothel girls like you and brings them back to their rightful place, you're whereabouts doesn't matter anymore young lady and I think you've guessed why you're here." The first voice said.

The first was the oldest, middle aged, grey hair tied back. He wore a grey kimono with blue shorts. The second voice was the youngest, she guessed about twenty years old, his hair tied as well while he wore a blue kimono and grey shorts. The third man suddenly left, slamming the door, his silhouette running to the left.

"Why did you find me?" she asked ignoring the third man leaving.

"A paying customer asked of your whereabouts, he'll see you now." The two men smiling as they left the room.

Fuu was alone again. A paying customer? she thought, probably some creep who spotted her at the brothel. Great perverts are looking for me. She jumped as a tall silhouette passed and stopped at the sliding door. The paying customer. She unsheathed her tanto ready to slice up some sweaty pervert. She hoped it'd be Mugen or Jin saying they missed her but no. It was a sweaty pervert who smirked at her with lust in his eyes. She recognised him, oh it was the guy from the brothel who thought she looked cute with a weird face. She quickly hide her tanto hoping he didn't see it. "Ahh come with me young lady, you're now my property!" he seemed happy with himself, bagging a new toy.

"I saw you at a brothel not too long ago, never got to have a good time with you eh?" he winked trying to flirt but it really wasn't working. " Now I've paid some money to make you my wife. How about that? Gets you out the brothel and in my bed"

She hesitated at first as he took her hand, he smacked her face and smiled. She let herself be dragged wishing so bad that it was Mugen or Jin instead. Great I'm now a bride to some sweaty pervert, she thought the brothel actually sounds quite good at the moment. He dragged her up and tugged her out of the agency to the outside. She was dragged into town by her new to be husband. She didn't want to be rude but she needed to know a few things.

"Hold on a second " she said making him stop. "Before we go anywhere, I have a few questions"

"Make it snappy" he said irritated.

"What's your name? you know my name but who are you? Where are we going and why am I suddenly marrying you?"

"I'm Isamu, we're going back to our new home in this town and I'm marrying you because I can and I need a women to pleasure me sweet thing."

"Okay...but what if I refuse?"

"You won't refuse you wait till we get home you'll see..."

oooh, sweaty pervert with a plan. I promise Mugen appears in the next chapter so don't hate me! Tell me if you liked it! Your flames will cook my dinner!
