And yet another argument between Mako and Sage rise up again...
Chapter 6: Another Argument
Back at the Bushido-Akio house, Sage was laying down on his bed...shirtless and half of his underwear showing as he's still wearing his shorts, still very livid about being grounded after going back to streetfighting and disrespecting Tigress and Viper in public and he failed to see what's the big deal with that because it's how he knows when he was living in South China and when he settled into the Valley of Peace, it's like he didn't bother to fit in very well because he sees it as too boring and there's not much excitement...despite the fact that crime and fights happen very frequently.
Just then, his ears perked up as soon as he heard Mako come in the door and just laid flat on his stomach because he doesn't want to hear anything that Mako has to say and he said, "What are you doing in my room?"
Mako couldn't help but look at the entire room and how messy it is and he said, "When was the last time you cleaned your room?"
"Who gives a (bleep) about cleaning?" asked Sage.
"I do. You need to straighten up your room, you know." Mako replied.
Sage responded with a snarl and he faced Mako, stood up and told him, "Why should I? Besides, my room's fine just the way it is."
"Sage...it smells like wet dog and someone took a big dump around here without freshening it up." Mako responded.
"I'm not cleaning up my room, you know. Remember? I'm grounded." Sage stated.
"You got it all twisted. Being grounded does not mean you can't do chores. You have to do chores to keep yourself occupied." Mako reasoned.
"What? You have to do chores too?" asked Sage.
"Yes, you do. Besides, maybe that'll teach you a lesson into getting into streetfighting in the Valley. You have to leave that life behind." Mako added.
The minute Sage heard that from Mako, it was like he stripped every aprt of his persona away from him and it infuriated him to the point where he cannot contain himself and he asked, "What did you (bleep)ing say to me?"
"Watch your tongue, Sage." Mako said, sternly.
"I'm not leaving the streetfighting life behind! You can take me out of the streets, but you can't take the streets out of me! Streetfighting is in my blood, it's my livelihood and it's my life! It's all I've ever known! That and mating girls!" Sage exclaimed.
"You're only 17! What do you know about mating?!" asked Mako.
"I know that how it's done in South China! Find a girl, take her to a room, lock the door and someone's bound to have a good night. I've mated 23 girls since I was 14 and they can't resist me!" Sage said, proudly.
"Sage...don't you know that that's taking advantage of innocent girls?" asked Mako.
"Some of them have hot bodies and I can't resist a hot body. And I could care less about the consequences. In South China, it's survive or die. That's the mentality I was raised in there. I'm not learning anything here because those people are wimps!" Sage exclaimed.
"The villagers happen to be very nice people and you refuse to give them a chance!" Mako shouted.
"Because they're nothing but a bunch of sourpusses. And me and my crew know how to handle sourpusses." Sage responded.
"I don't even wanna know the whole detail of how you handle them." Mako added.
Sage smirked at this and he stared at Mako in the face with his arms crossed and asked, "Are we done here?"
"Clean your room and you need to do something about the smell in this room." Mako said, sternly.
"If it's bothering you, you do it. I'm not cleaning a damn thing. If you don't like it...kiss my ass." Sage said, with a smirk on his face.
And with that Sage walked away and Mako grew completely frustrated with this and he's left to clean up Sage's room and he hates being defeated by Sage's arguments and he felt like he's not getting anywhere with him ow and needs some help on how to regain control of him fast.
"Something must be done." Mako said, sternly.
And that's the straw that broke the panda's back. If you guys were in that position, what would you have done to Sage?
