Zen's POV
I wake up and have the strangest feeling someone has been cursing me. It was probably that bastard Torin making me fight him without any compensation at all.I hate free labor. I go to the bathroom and cut a hole in space and do my business. Now, it feels like I just made an enemy for life. Maybe I'm just imagining things. I go down stairs.Besides me, only Sei, Xu Tu, Long Fei, and Sei's mom are awake. Xu Tu throws chop sticks at me like she's throwing a knife. I catch them between my pointer and middle fingers.
Xu Tu: Not bad.He has good reflexes. I will report back to master Bei Dou.
Suzaku: Did Bei Dou ask you to test him Xu Tu?
Xu Tu: ahhhhh .... No.
Suzaku: Xu Tu.
Xu Tu: Yes, Madam. Master, I am sorry the madam is too scary.
Suzaku: I'll have to talk to him about this later.
Long Fei: Good luck Boss.
Sei: Dad should have just let it go. He knows how scary mom can be when she is angry. Last time, she almost burned the house down.
Zen: Are you sure she's not the former triad member?
Sei: Mom's always had a temper. Good, bad, it does not matter. Piss her off and it will be the last thing you ever do. It is just that mostly bad guys pissed her off and she was labeled as a ”Hero” by the government. Grandpa is also a general in the army.So, he calls in favors from time to time.
My mom either gets along with Sei's mom really well or really bad. There is no neutral ground. They have similar temperaments. Just then, the others come down and we all have breakfast. Suzaku is taking me and Sei to Demon's Cave. She is also taking Xu Tu as a bodyguard for us. Xu Tu is Sei's personal body guard and maid. They've been together since Sei was four that's ten years.We take the limo to the cave.When we arrive, Suzaku takes out a medallion that glows like the marks on her, Sei, and Xu Tu. Suzaku's mark is of a red phoenix on her thigh. Xu Tu has an orange nine-tailed fox on the back of her neck, and Sei's mark is thedragon on her back which is also glowing like hell.
Suzaku: We have entered demon territory. I use this medallion as a key. Only contactors can open the area. This medallion is used to gain entrance into the cave.
As we drive through the entrance, we see several people. Suzaku says that they are here to become potential contractors as well. Suzaku sees a man and her eyes narrow. Just then, Sei eyes the boy with him and her mood suddenly becomes unpleasant.
Xu Tu: Genbu and his son are here; the bastards.
Zen: Genbu?
Sei: Genbu Cho is the leader of the Triad in China. His son, Wu Chen Cho is my age. Genbu has the third Saint Beast, the Armored Tortoise.
Zen: Aren't they evil?
Suzaku: Demon's don't discriminate.It doesn't matter how good or how bad you are. It just matters if they like you are not.
Genbu and Wu Chen walk towards us.Genbu is a tall, lean man with long black hair all the way down to his shoulder's. He is also wearing glasses. Wu Chen is a mini version of him except no glasses and he is wearing a braid.
Genbu: Suzaku.
Suzaku: Genbu, I see your son is getting a contract today.
Genbu: I heard your daughter has contracted a Saint Beast this summer.
Wu Chen: Seiryu you won't be the only one that contracts a Saint Beast. The last one, the Demon Tiger will be mine.
Sei: People stronger and more talented than you have tried to contract with the Demon Tiger and all have failed. There are time limits and many people don't even know what the tiger looks like.
Genbu: It doesn't matter what it is. Only you can take out your partner's true potential. That traitor, Bei Dou. Got a regular snake and turned it into a Mighty serpent. Few people don't know the name of Bei Dou and Shen Ron.
Wu Chen: I will listen to your words father. By the way Seiryu, who is that?
Suzaku: Sei's boyfriend.
Sei and Zen: WE'RE NOT TOGETHER!
Suzaku: They are even in unison.
Wu Chen: You don't look like much.
