Thou Shalt Not Fall For Thy Own Sister
7:Objection
"Wait- no, no, no. Fiancé?!" I slammed my fists down the table, glaring intently at our supposed-to-be father.
The bastard stared back. "Yes, Ren, fiancé."
Fucking politics.
En would do anything for it. Hell, I could care less if he massacres another fucking clan to gain a fucking position he desired. I would care less if decides to spend all of the Tao's fucking fortunes in it. But drag my sister into this fucking situation?! Is he crazy or did he just want to die so fucking fast?
I bit my lower lip so hard that blood dripped from the corner of my mouth.
"En...! You can't just...! Jun is...! She isn't...!" I found myself struggling for words as all the others watch my every move.
I was angry, I was upset, I was furious and if anybody dared to question my sudden reaction, he's going to get it. Even if it was Tao En himself.
"I understand your outburst, Ren, I know you just want to protect your sister but I swear she will never be harmed. Not as long as I live, Ren- chan..."
I'll kill him. I will kill him.
How dare he...! –chan?! I'll kill him. I'll really kill him. I will kill him.
I glared at him as I tried to reach out for my kwan dao.
I'm going to cut him in half, dice his remaining pieces into thirteen equal parts, tear his eyes out and punch him so hard that all his teeth will fall out just to wipe that annoying smile on his face.
My breathing came in hard.
Somehow, I manage to whip out my weapon of choice out of nowhere. This guy is so going to get it and no one can stop me.
"No violence, please, Ren."
No one but her.
Jun grasped my forearm in an attempt to hold me back. She had this outstanding look of concern in her face that made me want to fade away in defeat. She was worried. Not of the bastard's death, but I'm sure she was just worried about me feeling the small sense of satisfaction after slaughtering someone. She was just worried about me breaking my promise of not killing another person again.
I sighed.
Then, glared at the Li again as I regained my composure and sat beside my concerned Jun.
If there was one thing that connected me to Pai Lon, it was the desire to have Jun. It was the overwhelming need of protecting her 'til the day Death comes near. And, if I knew better, Pai Lon would also have murdered the bastard on sight if he knew that he was the one who was going to take Jun away from us.
My mother's husband cleared his throat.
"This man, Ren, is Li Fei. He, too, is a shaman."
I could care less if he was a shaman.
My glare didn't leave 'Fei' as my sister held my hand and squeezed it gently; assuring me that everything will be fine.
Now I can't get her. Does this entertain her? Does she like that fucking bastard so much that she wants me to be calm about it?!
I wanted to lash out again but I didn't. Mostly because I've been in too much stress and my body won't hold out much longer. I needed rest and I needed it right then and there.
My feet followed my order and stood up, announcing my actions. Not that I won't say them.
"I need rest."
Jun scampered behind me, bowing gracefully to everyone, excusing us from anything else that might require our presence that day. She also said that we would 'probably' be well enough to join them tomorrow.
Maybe she will. But I won't.
Then, she closed the door behind us.
"Lian," She spoke in our native language, "Wait for me."
Of course I did. I paused for a second before resuming my brisk steps.
To slow me down, she took my hand in hers and stopped to make me look at her. She smiled.
"Thank you, Ren."
I raised my brow.
"I knew you wouldn't let your sister be taken so easily."
I did not, do not and will not ever, I wanted to add but I was just not sure if it was the right time. Instead, I just smiled back at her.
Jun moved closer.
I have no idea what she's going to do next. So I tried to start a conversation.
"Na...onee-sama, do you like it?"
"Like what?"
"The...engagement."
She did not speak.
She's my sister and since she is, I could easily read her thoughts even though we haven't been together for years.
Her eyes said 'no' and her weak smile told me that 'she had to because father said so'.
Damn, I'll kill him.
After that, we continued our walk. The Tao main mansion was huge and it took me almost an hour to finally locate my room. Jun's was just beside mine so she did not have any problem finding it.
"Ren..." I turned before I opened my door.
Silently, she slid her arms around my neck and let it fall down my chest, embracing me lightly from behind.
I tensed since it caught me off guard but I also relaxed simply because I know her and she never meant to do anything that would offend me...I think.
"Ren..."
"Onee-sama, I believe we had enough things to think about. Maybe you should rest."
I sighed inwardly as I entered my room and she entered hers.
