"Kasai, I am about to hang myself right here, right now!" Yue wailed into her pillow. Her spirit hovered next to the bed, completely puzzled. Yue had summoned him from his tablet, and then threw herself on her bed and started crying.

"What happened, Yue-chan?"

"Kasai, he is driving me CRAZY! They are all driving me crazy. Why am I engaged to a family that hates me? I mean, I had to travel all the way here on foot because they have to live in the middle of nowhere, up in the mountains no less, and I had to carry all those boxes, and then they're welcoming party had to be an army of kyonshi…"

A sweat drop appeared on Kasai's face. His mistress was on a roll now. She was starting to blend her words into each other cause she was speaking so fast.

"… and then its like we have to be excessively sweet to each other. I mean why do we have to be dripping with sweetness? Its not making the situation any better, and I was actually doing it. I was actually being all 'Oh its so good to meet you,' even though she attacked me. ATTACKED ME!"

He floated a step back. She was starting to squeal.

"His father didn't even want to eat with me. I met him for 2 minutes. No, I didn't even meet him. I heard his voice. He was being all mysterious and sitting in the shadows, and the candles down the aisle didn't help any. So I just heard his voice for about a minute, and it was all drippy pleasantries again. And then I had to eat dinner with that irritating boy again."

Kasai floated another step back. He took a quick glance around the farthest end of the room to see if there was any furniture that he could hide behind.

"It's like I may as well have been engaged to his mother, or his grandparents. They were talking to me. Him and his sister just kept eating, and I was trying to make small talk. You know, his sister, I don't even care about. But him! Ren is just annoying beyond words. I can't even think of words to describe him. But he is the sulkiest, most depressing, rudest…"

The signs were all there. Another step back.

"He is just so rude, and depressing, and his sister attacked me. ATTACKED ME! I can't believe them. I mean, seriously. What kind of family would do this to their future daughter. Oh! Ren is just maddening. I cannot think of any words at all. He is infuriating beyond words!..."

She was starting to run out of vocabulary and repeat herself. Kasai quickly ducked behind the dresser, and after a minute of more squealing, he heard an explosion. He peeked out and saw his Mistress collapsed on her bed. She had passed out, swirly eyes and everything.

There was a knock on the door. Yue came back to her senses and went to open it.

Ren was standing there, or rather, leaning against the door frame.

"You make too much noise."

"ARG!" Yue closed the door on him, but Ren stopped it with his hand.

"What is your problem?" Yue gritted her teeth. She was getting mad. "Did you want to fight?"

"Hmph. I don't fight girls." Ren just looked at her with his yellow, seemingly emotionless eyes.

"Probably too scared that you'll lose to one." Yue walked away from Ren.

"Is that a challenge?" Ren was starting to raise his voice too.

"The challenge was already made Mr. 'I don't fight girls'."

"Bason!" A huge spirit appeared behind Ren. He had a yellow framed helmet, and yellow and purple armour. His cape was red, but shredded. Ren whipped out his Kwan-Dao.

The wooden handle was folded up, held together with specialized metal chains that locked when Ren straightened it. The blade of his Kwan-Dao gleamed off the moonlight shining through the window.

"Kasai!" Yue summoned.
