Chasing

This is my first Samurai Champloo fanfic but I have not finished the series yet! :0 Please comment and tell me how I'm doing! (town names are made up)

-Flashback-

He watched the sun set into a crimson sky while drinking a lukewarm cup of tea. A retired guard of the city's lord and already bored with his life, the 52 year old man was waiting for something to come along so he could reunite with his beloved sword. But nothing exciting happened around him anymore. He decided to walk into town for a little bit to see the execution or pick a fight, if he felt like it. As he got closer to the crowd near the bridge, he saw a blinding array of fireworks from where the execution was supposedly taking place.

"What the hell is going on over there?" He wondered aloud, running towards the bridge. As he did, he saw two beaten up men run past him with blood stained swords. With all the brains that he had he guessed that they were the convicted and had found a way to escape from their execution. Before he had any second doubt, he found himself running after them.

-End Flashback-

"Just shut up will ya?" Mugen groaned, absolutely sick of Fuu complaining about her stomach again.

"But it huurrrts! Jin why can't we just use the money to buy some food and forget about renting a room for a night? It wouldn't hurt to spend just one night camping out, would it?"

Jin, who dealt with this as much as Mugen did, said in his usual calm voice, "We can still do both if we ration down our food." Both Fuu and Mugen groaned. The sun was still beating down on them in the late afternoon, clouds scattering the hazy blue sky. So far there hadn't been any arguments, at least up until now.

"Why do you hafta carry all the money, huh? I could handle it so much better than both of you!" Fuu complained. The small stash of money had been disappearing at a depressing rate, and Jin knew they needed to get jobs again.

Fuu, also thinking about having to take up another job, whimpered "I hate cleaning jobs…"

"Then how bout for a change you work at a brothel?"Mugen said with a sneer on his face, expecting an insult to be thrown at him, but she didn't respond.

….What? She's actually considering it?

"Well… I guess that would be my last resort…" she said, sighing shamefully.

Mugen abruptly turned around with a taunting grin on his face, swooping at the chance of harassment.

"Woa girly, we both know shit like that can get you a load of money, so you're doing it. Oh wait I forgot, no bastard in their right mind would wanna have sex with you, never mind," he mocked, loving the feel of hatred towards him.

"Why you little-! I'll kill you! She yelled, punching his shoulder as hard as she could.

He suddenly grabbed her wrist and moved his face in so it was merely a few inches away from hers.

"Listen bitch, I could torture you in more ways than you can imagine. You honestly think you could kill me?" He hissed.

Fuu glared/pouted at him for a few seconds. "Fine, then show me."

Dammit! She's smirking at me because she thinks I couldn't hurt her…

Mugen glared at her as menacingly as he could, but he wasn't moving to prove what he said. He felt angry that he couldn't bring himself to do anything to her, even though he had relentlessly killed so many beforehand without a second thought.

"..stupid bitch," he growled as he pushed her aside, and continued to walk.

"Hmm, that's what I thought," she said to herself, smiling. It made her just a little proud to think that because they've all been together long enough that all killing intent had been put aside.

The sun had already set by the time they shuffled into Igata, stomachs rumbling and eyes drooped, as usual it seemed every time they entered another town.

Haha yea I had to come up with a random name so I chose Igata :P Tell me what u think, and next chapter will be longer, I promise!
