Worry
Kenren followed after his Marshall. "You shouldn't be so reckless. Your men were worried about you." He was mad that Tenpou acted on her own will. She went after the youkai beast and ordered their company to fall back. Even though she was skilled at bringing the beast's downfall, Kenren's heart raced whenever she was close to harm.
She stopped and looked at the man behind her. "It seems that our men aren't the only ones worried, General Kenren."
"Of course I would be." Kenren scratched the back of his head. "I mean it's because-"
She burst into Konzen's office. Kenren followed close behind her while closing the door. "It's because I am a woman that you're so worried. Before you wouldn't question my commands."
"Now that I know that, I can't really fight the same way." Kenren shrugged.
"I am capable of taking care of myself. We are on equal levels Kenren." She glared into his crimson eyes.
"Ten-neechan," a childish voice rang in their ears. "Ken-chan!"
Tenpou turned to the little boy with a smile. "Goku!"
Kenren frowned. This woman. She was confusing. She fought to get into the army. She went on her own. She could be angry at one moment and then happy the next. He watched the woman hug the monkey-like kid. She was graceful and beautiful, yet she could send a menacing smile his way when the boy wasn't looking.
After their usual greetings to each other and questions about their mission, Goku ran to the golden haired secretary to convince him to leave the office. Goku invited Tenpou and Kenren to lunch, but he failed to inform Konzen. The little monkey did his best to make the other man follow them while Tenpou looked at Kenren.
"Do not underestimate me, Kenren." Her voice was cold.
Kenren placed a hand on her head lightening the mood. "I got it. I got it." His hand slid from the top of her head and into her ebony hair. "I learned my lesson Ms. Marshall," he whispered in her ear. "I won't question your commands."
