Just a short little chappie, the full and dirty version can be found over at AFF. Please read and review.
Leo strolled in after a brief pause unsure as to what kind of scene he might find playing out, a fight, a father daughter moment or perhaps a master daughter spat. To his displeasure he found it to be the latter of the three options.
"I see you have decided to return" Yun stated in a very blank way.
"Hai" Miharu answered not bothering to stop and talk, she simply strode of down the hall to one of the spares rooms that she had been staying in the last few days. Yun watched her go his face void of both curiosity and concern before noticing the other presence in the room.
"Ah" he said simply "Now I see" His tone darkening as he turned to face Leo.
"She did not leave alone" His tone implied a great many things. Leo wanted to respond to Yun but thought better of it, instead he merely gazed back at the old master.
"Curious" Yun continued " Pity is not usually a trait Miharu shows often" The implication struck Leo in a much more painful way than he though possible, it was insulting and ignorant and unjustified…….. and potentially right. Visions of Miha's tender expressions on the roof top played through his minds like slides, he had thought they were looks of tender appreciation had he been wrong! If he was he was not ready to admit it yet.
"Your right" He said voice colder than ice " Pity is not Miharu's strong suit" At that Yun turned and gave Leo a slightly quizzical look.
"Then you know how lucky you truly are" He said smiling slightly, his tone was a clear challenge one that Leo readily excepted.
"Lucky" He said standing a little straighter "Has very little to do with it"
"You think yourself good enough for my daughter" Yun said eyes blazing voice raising little by little.
"No" Leo said in a firm tone " I don't think of myself and Karai at all" It was a half truth he didn't now but he had.
"Miharu is more than my student boy" Yun said voice laced with anger "You would do well to remember that"
"As would you" Leo spat back "You didn't seem to concerned for her when she left… or when she came back"
"She is a women" Yun said with a wave of his hand " They are emotional she will calm eventually and her logic will return.
The statement made Leo's blood boil, he had been wrong about Yun , he was not the same kindly old master who he had brought here just a few days ago and his mistreatment of Miharu was pushing him close to a Raph like rage.
"You" He ground out " You call her your daughter and you care nothing for her" He could feel his blood boiling he needed to end this before things got out of hand.
"I am NOT the one who isn't good enough for her " He finished whirling and storming off in the direction of the dojo, leaving Yun to stew over the last comment.
She smiled a little to herself as she watched him go. He had defended her honor to her master in such a passionate way. She closed her eyes and sunk against the hallway wall sighing and whispering his name
"Leonardo".
