2 "A" is for apples

Jin

I cannot figure out what happened in the woods between those to but I know it had to be devastating to Mugen. He did not call Fuu an annoying bitch or yell at her for being slow. Fuu seemed to be abnormally silent. I have a feeling Mugen said something ignorant to her. This pleases me so much maybe Fuu is finally seeing Mugen for the asshole he really is…

Normal

The three travelers walked in silence. The only sound was the cracking of twigs under their feet and the rustling of the leaves. What seemed like forever which actually was 30 minutes the reached a small City. Fuu looks up at the town's sign "Iwakuni City the Apple Capital of Japan" Fuu said aloud. "I sure hope they got a bar and a whore house around here," Mugen said while he walked ahead of Jin and Fuu.

Fuu

I wonder where the hell dose he thinks; he is going. He is off to the whorehouse! I am going to have to stop him! The moment I figure out what to say to him. It had better be a good reason or else he will yell at me…

Normal

Fuu storms off after Mugen. Jin straightens his glasses and heads toward the dress shop. Fuu walks past an apple stand. She slowly turns. She walks up to the apple display. Apples; Fuu screeched with joy. Fuu looked side to side then she began to scarf down apples at the speed of light. She caught the eye of the shop owner. You are going to pay for those apples, right. The shop owner tapped his foot impatiently. Fuu did not look twice she kept on eating the apples. That is it! The shop owner grabbed Fuu by her arm and shook her. Listen up girl; you ate three days worth of shipment in 30 minutes! You need to pay me my money now! Hey! Leave her alone I will pay for the damn apples. Fuu slowly turns towards the voice.

Fuu

Wow the person who saved me from that angry shop keeps was cute. To show him I was grateful I bowed. He smiled and signaled me over to him. I was nervous because I was not looking my best. I had on Jin's shirt and my underclothes, my feet were dirty from the long hike through the woods and my sandals were at their breaking point.

Normal

Fuu and the strange young man walked off together. Jin on the other hand was not having such a great time in the city like Fuu. "I'm dreadfully sorry I didn't mean to insult you." Jin said as he backed up slowly. "Well then what did you mean by I'm not your type?" yelled a red haired woman. All the women in the dress shop surrounded Jin. "He's a real looker isn't he" one woman from the back of the crowd said. "Yea he is looks so strong," a woman in blue said.

Jin

I wonder why theses women are looking at me as if I am fresh meat. I wish Mugen were her maybe he would be able to get me out of this…Oh! God, they are moving in closer. I am become Closter phobic now. Ah! Why are they are touching me!

Normal

Jin disappeared in the crowd of females. Jin's mournful cries could be herd almost a mile. Mugen was on the other side of town having girl trouble of his own. Mugen was sitting at the bar drinking. The bar tender walks over to him. "Hey cutie, the lady over there just bought you a drink" Mugen lifts his head sheepishly and turns in her direction.

Mugen

Did that rhino just smile at me? Wait! It is not a rhino; it is a huge woman. Why is she coming over here…? I should run but I cannot my legs feel to heavy. What was in that drink? Oh! My head is spinning…

Normal

Mugen passes out and fall onto the dirty barroom floor. "Good job Sam" the woman said to the bartender. "No problem, Mitzuki do you want me to have him shipped to your brothers castle?" the bartender replied as she poured the tainted beer down the drain. "Yes" Mitzuki said as she left the bar. Fuu and her mystery man were having lunch in the castle. "I really need to get back to my friends, thank you for the dress and the shoes," Fuu said as she gracefully bowed. "I cannot let you Leave," The person said. "But you don't even know me and I don't know you!" Fuu said in a pleading voice. "My name is Hwoarang, I'm from Shinjuku city." Fuu shook her head. "I want to leave now!" Hwoarang smiled. "Fuu you're the new princess; my fiancée you cannot leave here ever." Fuu fainted. "Take her to the master bedroom Hwoarang yelled at the guards. The guards carried Fuu up to the fifth floor bedroom. They placed her on the bed and locked her in. Mugen began to stir. "Where am I?" he said aloud. Mugen sat up and surveyed his surroundings. Mugen stood up and tried to open the door. "Damn" he muttered.

Mugen

Where did my sword go? Why do I feel like I am not going to like my captive? I wonder if I am ever going to have sex today or even in this millennium. Probably not seeing how this day is going. My head is killing me. I cannot seem to remember the events of the day for some reason.

Normal

Mugen paced his room plotting his next move. Jin on the other hand was doing housework. "Jin dear make sure you fix all the leaks" a small blonde haired woman yelled. Jin nodded as he went back to the roof work. Mitzuki was in her room putting on makeup when there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Mitzuki said in an impatient voice. "It's me your brother" a voice from behind the door replied. "Oh come in then!" the door opened and Hwoarang stepped walked in. "So was your day eventful little sister?" Hwoarang said as he sat down on the futon. "Yes! I found a new husband today," Mitzuki said while she put lipstick on. "Congratulation; I also found a lover today!" Hwoarang said in a gleeful manor. "Is she having dinner with us?" Mitzuki asked as she puckered her lips in front of the mirror. "Yes but please don't make her feel uncomfortable she is a fragile one" Hwoarang said as he left the room.

Fuu

Am I dead? Oh! Fuu what have you gotten your self into now? I wonder if Hwoarang was serious about marring me. I cannot imagine life without Mugen or even life married to this nincompoop. Jin and Mugen should be on their way to save me right about now. I wish Momo were here. He ran off with Jin… I think. Why do I always have all the bad luck?

Jin

I have to find Fuu and tell her I had trouble getting her dress. I bet she is with that Mugen! I cannot wait until I finally get to kill him. So far, it seems as if all the women in this city are out to get me. I need to find away to get away from these desperate housewives for a minute so I can find Fuu and Mugen and leave this forsaken city.

Normal

As day turned to night, Fuu and Mugen remained trapped at the castle. Jin continued to work for the angry ladies from the dress shop. "Fuu you have been summoned to dinner by master Hwoarang." Fuu turned to the guard and nodded. He escorted her to the table and seated her next to Hwoarang and directly across from Mugen. "Mugen" Fuu said in an excited voice. "Fuu" Mugen said slightly amused. "When did you get here?" Fuu asked barely holding in her enthusiasm. "I've been here since about noon I think" Mugen said as he fidgeted in his seat. "You two know each other?" Hwoarang said in a cautious tone. "Yes" Fuu said in almost a yell. "He is one of my friends," Mitzuki growled, "well now he is my husband so keep you grubby little paws off! Fuu tilted her head sideways and said, "What is she talking about Mugen?" "I don't know?" Mugen said looking at the Mitzuki and Fuu.

Fuu

Mugen is married. How could this be? I know she must be lying! Mugen would not… who am I fooling he married her for this house and her money. I knew I should have given up on my love for him.

Normal

Tears streamed down Fuu's face. "Mugen, how could you?" Fuu said in between sniffs. "Don't get all worked up over nothing, my sister is teasing you Mugen isn't married to her yet." Hwoarang said as he lifted up her face by her chin. "Chin up you'll get to see their wedding, which is why you were crying, right? Fuu nodded knowing it was a lie. Her teary eyes met Mugen's gaze. She quickly turned away.

Momo

YAY for me! I love nuts! Hmm I wonder where Jin and those angry ladies wandered off. Wait, I think I can hear Fuu crying! Do not worry I am on the way! Wait for me Fuu!

Normal

Momo jumped from the tree he was sitting in and began to run towards the castle. He dodged traffic and horse driven carriages until he reached a giant fence. "Momo power!" the small squirrel yelled as he jumped the fence. Guard dogs came running toward Momo. Momo smiled and then he got into fighting stance. The first dog to reach Momo was karate kicked in the face. The dog fell to the ground unconscious. The second and third approached Momo cautiously. Momo let out a war cry before he began beating up the two dogs. Momo ran to the front door of the castle and kicked it in. he raced down the hallways until he reached the dinner table Momo began throwing dishes at Mitzuki and Hwoarang and the guards. Momo stared a Fuu. Fuu nodded and then she got up and headed towards the door. "Where the hell do you think are you going?" Mitzuki said as she grabbed Fuu's arm. Fuu turned to her and punched her in the face. Mitzuki fell to the floor with a boom. Mugen pulled out his sword and began slicing the guards to high hell. They all ran through the door as the other guards started to come. "After them!" Hwoarang yelled. They ran until they reached the housing complex where Jin was. Fuu pulled Jin to his feet. "Come on we're leaving." Jin smiled and fixed his glasses. The yells from the guards sounded close so they began to run again. They ran deep in to the forest and reached a bridge. The bridge created from wood and twined rope. The bridge looked over one hundred years old. The frail looking bridge swayed in the wind. "They went over this way," yelled one of the guards. "It's now or never," Mugen said as he looked at the group. "Now" Fuu said as they ran across the bridge. The bridge began to break as they ran across. When they reached the other side, they looked back only to see that the bridge had split into two pieces. "Remind me to never come here again," Mugen said as he cracked a smile. "Agreed" Jin said as he smiled back.
