King Ashura grimaced to himself; it had been a mistake to allow the boy to experience anything from him but kindness. He was too easily scared, too timid, to handle someone snapping at him. He could not, however, allow the girl enough skill to over-ride the constraints he'd placed on her. He wanted her to gain power, just not the ability to use it. Otherwise all this work, all this planning, would be wasted. He wasn't overly concerned though; Fai was far too loyal to go behind his back and teach her anyway. In fact, aside from this little hiccup, everything was working out perfectly. He just needed them to become attached to each other, be it love or friendship he didn't care, just attached enough that he could use one to manipulate the other.
AGGHHH! I HATE KING ASHURA! Actually I hate writing for Ashura, but it's a necessary evil. Please review^^
