Thank you all for the reviews once again. They really help me to go on, and such.
Updates will keep coming~ =)
------------------------------Chapter 10 GuiZhang's Arrival--------------------
It was high noon in the port of Aberdeen, the port was vastly populated with
locals, most involving commerce; ranging from: "Gambling, hustling, fortune
telling." The sun's glow never gave, mostly due to the lack of clouds.
They seem to sparsely populate other areas of the sky.
"I'm finally here..." GuiZhang whispered to himself.
GuiZhang, Master Chen's only son, and most trusted bodyguard; stood upon a
massive liner which was stubbornly pulling into port.
He had a look of all seriousness, his eyes; a coarse black, held no innocence.
Yet they flickered with the same fire and determination of Ryo's. GuiZhang
kept his hair; which was the same color as his eyes, strictly formal.
Basically it was straight, yet in a asymmetric style. Many women would
find him genuinely attractive. He spoke went a deep tone voice, which was
very intimidating.
GuiZhang's dress code was hardly bias to his formal look, since his attire
consisted of a twopiece suit, dark; with white stripes. Which fit his build,
a build similar to Ryo's.
This wasn't his first trip to this region. Despite living in Japan for the
latter part of his life, he had lived in Hong Kong for a good portion as well.
GuiZhang promptly departed the boat upon docking. Finding Ryo was his
objective as of now...
"Wherever he may be...." GuiZhang thought to himself.
He would first have to consult with Master Tao. According to his father,
the Tao stays atYan Tin apartments, in Wan Chai. GuiZhang knew exactly how to
get there, unlike Ryo who was completely unfamiliar with the Quarter system.
------
It had only taken him a half hour to traverse to South Carmain Quarter.
Here he found a very rundown area. Most of the apartments looked unlivable to him. They all favored a greyish, dreary
look. GuiZhang didn't realized that the area got so bad, probably due to poor maintenence.
The only bright spot he could spot was a park by the name of 'Lotus.'
In the middle appeared to be a well kept tree.. Crimson leaves feel from the
tree, waning to the ground.
Up the road there seem to be an intersection, and a sign that blantly pointed
out where Yan Tin apartments was. GuiZhang made his way down the right path,
ahead he could see an elderly lady standing in front of the building.
She was wearing a red sweater, and fitted with a type of red dress that went
down to her ankles.
He made eye contact with her, and gestured a head nod like to say 'hey,' out
of courtesy. Her expression didn't change much, in fact it seem as she was
angry about something, by the look of her expression. Yet, for those who
knew her, she wasn't, in fact she might be in a good mood, the only way you
would know was by talking to her.
"You! What's your business here!?" The elderly lady asked investigating.
"I'm looking for Master Tao" GuiZhang answered.
"Are you a Land Shark!?" The elderly lady went on..
"I seriously doubt that." GuiZhang said looking her in they eyes.
"You don't look like one, the way you dress, and your eyes. I apologize."
"No problem. My name is Chen GuiZhang." He said in a calm tone.
"I'm Guixhang, what is your business with Master Tao?"
"She might know where a friend went."
"Come in, I will tell you what I know."
She led him inside her apartment. A small one room apartment, and which the
table populated at least 40% of the room's space. On the stove she was
boiling water, she poured GuiZhang a cup of it. He politely accepted..
"I believe I know who this friend might be."
GuiZhang's eyes lit up.
"Oh?"
"Yes, a young man from Japan who went by the name of Ryo Hazuki." Guixhang
revealed..
"That's him, do you know where he went!?"
"Contain yourself." She said commandingly.
GuiZhang did so, realizing he was getting to jumpy.
"He saved me from the land sharks, he was so naive, saying it is what anyone
would do, which isn't true at all in our world."
Guixhang went on.
"Last I heard, he was off to a region called Guilin."
GuiZhang finished the tea, and got up from his seat.
"You should speak to Lishao Tao before you go."
"I will."
"She is probably at Man Mo temple, she moved from Yan Tin apartments a long
time ago."
GuiZhang nodded once again.
"I'll be on my way, thank you for your help"
GuiZhang departed.
--------------
"Man Mo Temple..."
The steel gates were open, meaning the temple was open to those who wish to
pray. GuiZhang obviously was not here for that. He walked in pass the
assortment of pottery that was adjacent to the stone pavement which he
traversed on. The main door to the temple was a massive red door. GuiZhang
pushed it open, in which ensued a loud groaning noise. Immediately the
smell of burning incense blessed his nose.
The temple was full of hanging ornaments in a decorated style. In the back
there was a shrine where people could pray for those passed on. GuiZhang
immediately noticed that a man and woman were conversing over in the corner.
The woman's hair was in a long ponytail, and look very healthy looking.
"Perhaps they might know where the Master is."
GuiZhang approached them noticing now that the man was dressed in a long
white robe, that possessed the yin yang symbol. The woman, was dressed in a
long blue dress, which split at the thighs on both sides. Which revealed
part of her muscular thighs. She noticed GuiZhang approaching, and stared
at him with her dark; amber colored eyes. The man also noticed him, his eyes
an ordinary black.
"Excuse me."
"Yes?" She answered.
"I'm looking for a Master Lishao Tao."
"What do you want with the Master?" The man asked.
"Its about someone, could you help me?" GuiZhang asked.
"Yes, please, what is your name?"
"My name is Chen GuiZhang."
She looked to the man she knew as Master Mo, with a glance of interest.
"Come with me."
The woman exited the temple, leaving GuiZhang with Master Mo.
"Are you Master Tao?" GuiZhang said a little impatient.
"No, I am Master Mo."
"Huh..? So who was that woman?" GuiZhang said confused.
"Go find out."
"Right.." GuiZhang said the least bit inspired.
Eventually he made his way outside where the woman stood with both her hands
across her chest.
"So you're Chen's son." She said in an even tone.
"That's right, and I gather you are Lishao Tao." He said convinced he was
right.
"So you're not like him? Hazuki Ryo.." Master Tao asked.
"I'm not at all. But we do share a common goal."
"Oh, and what's that?"
"To make sure Lan Di doesn't get his hands on both mirrors." GuiZhang
explained.
"You sound determined just like him, do you think you can stop Lan Di?"
"I'll have to try."
"Come.." Master Tao extended her hand out
"What?" GuiZhang said confused and drawn aback.
"I want to see how good your Kung Fu is..."
"Kung Fu? You want to fight me?"
"More like sparring, now come..."
"Fine.."
GuiZhang extended his right hand forward, the front side of his hand facing up.
He kept his left hand at a forty five degree angle from his body,with the
backside of his hand facing up. He kept his weight shifted fifty-fifty
between each leg, before he continued.
"But I must say, it feels awkward fighting you..."
"Because I'm a women?"
"Basically..." He responded truthfully.
"Then perhaps I was wrong about you not being like Hazuki."
"Perhaps.."

That's all for this chapter =P
Its up to your reviews, if you want to see their sparring scene tell me. Otherwise, I won't know. :O
