Seeing Mugen had been amusing. They always had so
much fun together and he had made her laugh until it hurt. With him
she was always so relaxed because he was just like a big brother to
her – the one she never had growing up. Fuu was grateful that she
could still see Mugen from time to time. Was it wrong to wish to see
Jin more? They had been through so much together on their journey but
never before did she have butterflies in her stomach like today.
She
decided to walk to the bridge Jin would cross before arriving at her
house. It was just so nerve-racking waiting for him and Fuu had
always been so impatient. She grabbed some money on her way out the
door. Jin might be hungry and she wasn’t sure if he would have
money for dinner. Neither he nor Mugen seemed to have money on their
journey, so she wanted to be prepared.
Fuu wasn’t ready for
what she felt when her eyes first spotted Jin walking across the
bridge. He was wearing a kimono just like the one he had on when they
had met. Today his hair that was different. Jin didn’t have his
hair pulled back in a typical samurai style. Instead, it hung down
past his shoulders. Fuu was taken aback by his appearance. The sight
of him almost took her breath away. There were so many different
emotions running through her at that moment. Happiness, relief,
anxiety, and…but no she couldn’t be feeling desire. Surely she
was happy to see him. Jin had always been a just a friend, nothing
more. Fuu tried to ignore the feeling and greeted him.
“Jin!”
Fuu waved at him. She couldn’t help but notice that he was rather
handsome today.
Jin smiled at her, “Fuu. How are you?”
She
smiled - wanting to hug him but Jin was always so quiet and reserved.
“I’m good. I was worried. You’re little late but I’m glad
you’re here now. Are you hungry?” Fuu could not take her eyes off
of him. Was it her or had Jin gotten even more beautiful in the past
few years?
He nodded. “Yes, food would be nice. It has been
a long journey.”
They walked together to a small restaurant
in her village. It brought back memories of her meeting with Jin and
Mugen. Fuu didn’t work at a restaurant any longer but helped out at
dojo. Some things had changed so much since then. Fuu was truly happy
that Jin was here. She kept sneaking looks at him as they walked. Jin
couldn’t get over how grown up Fuu looked. And she couldn’t
believe she was friends with such a handsome samurai. Anyone who was
watching could tell just how smitten they were with each other. Each
of them, of course, was oblivious to how the other one felt.
For
the first few minutes, they sat at a table, neither one saying a
word. There was a silent awkwardness between them. Jin finally broke
the silence and Fuu was so relieved.
“How did Mugen’s
visit go? You wrote that he came to visit a month ago.” Jin took a
sip from his sake cup.
Fuu grinned. “Oh we had so much fun.
I wish you could have been here to see him. He told me he misses you
– the sword fights you guys used to have. I’ll bet you miss
fighting him too.” Fuu took a sip of sake too. She made mental note
not to drink too much. The girl had made that mistake when Mugen was
here and paid for it the next day.
Jin smiled – he missed
seeing Mugen too. Perhaps one day they could have a reunion of sorts.
“And you, Fuu, what have you been up to?”
“Well, I have
a job. I help out cooking and cleaning at a dojo. It is the perfect
job me. There is a small house on the property that’s mine. The
owner is really nice – I get free lessons. Pretty soon I’ll be
samurai too.” Fuu giggled at her own joke. “Really, Jin, you’ll
need to help me practice – let me try some of my moves on you.”
After the words left her mouth, Fuu realized just how suggestive they
sounded. She covered her mouth with her free hand and turned a few
different shades of red. Fuu was so grateful when the waitress came
to rescue her from embarrassment.
During their dinner, they
both became more relaxed. Jin reminded Fuu of the time when she got
drunk and Fuu teased him about the day when he dressed up like a
woman. Fuu had started to tell Jin about Mugen’s visit when a girl
in her teens approached their table and stared at Jin for several
minutes from a short distance.
Fuu smiled at her, not sure
what to think. “Did you need anything?” She asked the girl
politely.
The girl ignored Fuu and addressed Jin. “Excuse my
interruption, Sir, but my friends over there told me you won the
sword tournament in Kyoto. Is it true? Are you really him? Are you
Jin?”
Jin nodded and continued eating. Not again, he
thought. This had just happened last night.
The girl looked
like she was trying to control her excitement. “Really? My
brother’s girlfriend has a picture of you. An artist drew it at
that tournament. It is an incredible picture.” The girl stared at
Jin’s long hair for a few moments. “But it doesn’t do you
justice. I’m sorry for interrupting your meal, Jin-san but you
don’t suppose my friends could meet you? It is not often we get a
chance to meet a true star.”
Fuu’s mouth dropped open. Had
she just woken up on another planet? Jin a star? She looked at him
for an explanation and he started to speak when the girl waved three
of her friends over.
The three girls came over and started to
ask Jin all kinds of questions and stared at him like he was a piece
of meat. Jin, polite as always, nodded politely, smiled, and gave one
or two word answers when it was necessary. He was growing incredibly
uncomfortable and kept looking at Fuu.
She got up and grabbed
Jin by the hand. “Come on, Jin! We have to go it - is an
emergency.” She yelled at the top of her lungs and pulled him out
of the restaurant running. They both ran as fast as they could. When
Fuu looked behind them she saw that they were being followed. Those
girls were unbelievable! They snuck down an alley behind the
restaurant and waited.
The alley was small so Fuu and Jin
were forced to be close to each other – very close. Their bodies
were practically touching. They both stood very still because Jin
could still hear the girls talking. It was stupid, he thought, that
he, a samurai, was avoiding teenagers but the last time this happened
they followed him around all night. Jin had no desire for a repeat
performance. He wondered how winning a sword fight could bring him so
much aggravation. Soon it would be time for him to go and he would
miss his chance with Fuu. Standing this close to her, made him
painfully aware of how beautiful she had become. She was no longer
just a girl. Fuu had become a woman in the last two years. Lost in
his thought, Jin did not even realize that Fuu had been staring at
him.
Being this close to the samurai was torture for Fuu. It
made her realize just how much she wanted to kiss him…how much she
had always wanted to feel his mouth on hers. Fuu knew it might be
awhile before she saw him again. If she didn’t do it, Fuu knew she
would regret it. Life was too short for regrets. Fuu had regretted
letting both Jin and Mugen slip out of her life three years ago. She
wasn’t going to make that same mistake again. Besides the girls
were coming closer, if they saw a couple kissing, perhaps they would
go away.
Fuu looked into his eyes as she spoke. “Jin ,
there’s something I always wanted---“
Jin knew what she
wanted. He wanted it too – had always wanted…her. Jin had waited
years for this moment. Although he had desired her when they were on
their journey, Jin had held back. He was a man of honor and kissing
her then just would not have been right. She was a girl, not much
more then a child. That was then – Fuu was a woman now. The silent
samurai put a finger to her lips and lowered his face to hers. He
noticed that his heart started to beat a little faster. He slipped
his arms around the small of Fuu’s back and pulled her closer to
him. He held his breath as he brought his mouth down on hers. Their
kiss started off soft and gentle at first but turned passionate fast.
Jin pressed Fuu’s body up against the building, wanting and needing
to get closer to her.
It all happened so fast – Fuu wasn’t
sure what to do. She had wanted this for so long – wanted him for
so many years. It was always Jin. Had always been him. When he
pressed her body against the building, Fuu never even thought about
stopping him. It felt too good to be in his arms like this – she
never wanted this moment too end. Fuu knew that a proper lady would
have pushed him away before things went to far…but she was tired of
doing what was right.
“It is about time you two. I was
beginning to think you were gay, Jin.”
That voice. Neither
one of them would forget that voice! They turned towards it. Both
were stunned, speechless, and could not speak. Mugen, they both
thought at the same time.
Their friend grinned as he
approached them and put one arm around each of their shoulders.
“Well, is this a private party or can I join in?” The other
samurai asked with a smirk.
