The Peacemaker
Chapter 12: Knowing Ren and Saya
I only own my characters, all song names belong to their respective owners.
"Oh yeah, this is 'hic' the best!" Jubei said, buzzed from all the drinking he did
"Didn't I tell you 'hic' twitchy makes the best drinks," Mac agreed. "Hey, more drinks over here!"
"Get them yourself you old drunks, as of now I'm on a break!" Ichi exclaimed, "How come the four of you aren't drinking?"
"I quit that years ago kid," Tian answered "That stuff just gets old anyway, the taste doesn't get any better."
"Same here." Juu and Don agreed
"What about you, Uncle Lao?"
"Well..." Lao could feel the cold stare coming from Shifu and said, "I don't think it's right to be drinking near children."
"Nice save, dad." Shiisaa chuckled
Ichi was happy to see everyone like this, he was even happy to meet Saya and Ren; to meet a relative from his father's side of the family made him feel like he knew more about his family, when he finally had the courage he said, "So Ren, tell me about yourself?"
"Not much to talk about, I never did much in the black dragons." Ren sighed
"Are you kidding, you would do whatever you could when you had time," Saya interjected. "Ren's a genius when it comes to music, you should hear him play the piano."
"Saya!"
"He likes to read stories with mystery and suspense, loves to plant flowers, and also likes to make ice sculptures with his power," She explained. "As for me, I like any kind of music, I love the beach, and for those who want to know why I'm in a human form, it's because I like having a body that can get me what I want."
"No wonder, I bet lots of guys think of you as a slut." Xiaomu replied
"At least they know who's hot and who's not." Saya retorted
"What was that!?"
"You heard me!"
"Don't start you two!" Ichi and Ren interjected
"So what kind of music do you guys like the most?" Fu asked
"Rock, my favorite song is 'Welcome to the Black Parade'." Ren answered
"Mines too, my fave is 'Welcome Home'." Saya included, "How about you two?"
"Honey!" Fu exclaimed
"Isn't that a cheery song from the vocaloids?" Shiisaa asked
"Yeah, Fu loves them." Ichi answered, "But I'll admit their pretty good, my favorite song is 'Fly me to the moon'."
"Fly me to the moon and let me play 'hic' among the stars, let me see 'hic what spring is like on jupiter 'hic and mars." Jubei and Mac sang.
"They just ruined a good song."
"What'd you expect from two drunks." Xiaomu said, laughing
Shifu and the others watched as the kids started laughing, he was happy to see the twins find so many friends; Po was happy too as he said, "I'm happy for those two, it's good to know that they can make friends."
"Yeah, I'm happy for them." Tigress said, smiling
"Whoa, Tigress happy for someone, I think those twins switched you with someone else." Mantis teased
"But now I'm worried for Ren, he's going to be alone now," Viper said, worried. "Master, shouldn't we do something?"
Viper was right, now that this was over Ren and Saya were going to be alone; Shifu didn't want to see that, he couldn't forgive himself if he had to leave them without a home. Because of that he said, "Ren, I would like to make a propositon with you."
"A proposition?"
"Yes, how would you like to live with us in the jade palace?" Shifu answered
"No way, really?" Ren asked
"On one condition, you have to teach the twins how to use their ice powers."
"You got a deal, thank you Master Shifu!"
"If you like Saya, you can stay as well." Shifu suggested
"No thanks, I can find my own place to live," Saya assured. "Now all I need is a job."
"I think I can help you with that, I'm great at finding jobs." Ichi said, smiling. "If you'd like Tian, I can find you one too."
"Me?" Tian said, confused
"The white lotus is a good job, but you guys need a second job to keep your group a secret," Ichi explained. "Something that can cover your tracks."
"He's right Tian di, since the black dragons are gone it'll be easier for people to find the other members of the triads," Don said, drinking his tea. "Having something to cover our tracks would be a good idea."
"I guess that's true, we should listen to our peacemaker." Juu agreed
Tian di laughed as his members agreed, he smiled and said, "I guess you talked me into it, alright I'll think of something. But I gotta ask something kid, why didn't you just kill Jong?"
"Cause it wouldn't be right to Ren, killing Jong wouldn't avenge the death of his parents," Ichi answered. "But by sending him to prison, he can atone for his sins as he rots in a cell. Bringing peace without violence, isn't that what a peacemaker is?"
"Ichi, you're gonna be one hell of a leader someday." Tian said, smiling
"Thanks, I hope whatever job you find will bring us together again." Ichi said, smiling
To be continued
I hope this is good information for Ren and Saya. Chapter 13 coming soon.
