Chapter 10: Envy

Beep beep beep

"Of all the times to message me." Rhea grumbled. Delving into her pocket as she ran up the steep staircase towards her morning training.

-Ohayou Rhea. The boys are still fighting ): on better news Master Fung says once we find the scroll we can go and find our Wudai weapons! I hope they can get along before we go travelling. Kimiko.-

If it had been possible Rhea's skin would have physically turned green from envy. Her teeth sank into her bottom lip and her brow furrowed angrily. 'Wudai weapons that'll put them on a higher ground than me'

"I didn't know you could make that kind of expression."

The young woman glanced upwards quickly with a smile on her face, the phone now safely tucked away in the pocket of her crimson Capri pants. "I simply thought of unpleasant things." She moved up a step and stood on par with her master with Yuki at her ankles. "It seems I was almost late again."

Chase's golden eyes followed Rhea as she guiltlessly walked past him into the training room. Even the prince of darkness had trouble believing this girl was just a friend of that fool Jack Spicer. Something just didn't sit right, her actions and very words were glib, as if she were planning something constantly.

"O Rhea you have come to visit again." Omi greeted her warmly at the dojo entrance. She carried a large duffle bag over her shoulder.

"You know you've been visiting a lot lately." Dojo perched on her head as they strolled across the grounds.

"You don't like my company. Fine I can leave but you won't know what I've brought for you." Rhea stopped in her tracks.

"Is it food?" Dojo questioned eagerly

Omi pushed the dragon out the way and latched onto Rhea's collar "Did you bring me a present you shouldn't have."

"That's good because I didn't." The young woman pushed Omi away and bowed to the old master that had appeared with the others monks.

"What brings you to the temple?"

Rhea simply handed the large scroll over to the master. The monks stared at her sceptically. "Before you even ask, my friend is a fortune teller, she's pretty good at dousing and managed to locate it."

Omi was bounding up and down like a jack hammer "With this now we can go find our Wudai weapons!"

"Not yet young one. I do not think you or Jermaine are ready for your Wudai weapons."

"WHY?" the pair exclaimed.

"Fellow monks do not fight one another."

"But Master Fung it was Jermaine who lost my orb of Tornami."

"I apologised already." That was it the boys started fighting again.

"Oh my, that's not good." Rhea watched as Raimundo and Clay once again separated the pair.

"Omi the Shen Gong Wu belong not only to one person."

"I understand Master Fung." The bald monk turned to Jermaine and bowed "I am…sorry." His words were strained but this apology was good enough for the old master.

"Well best be off." Her visits to the temple seemed rather pointless at times but she didn't care since she often had an ulterior motive not that anyone else needed to know that.

"You're not coming with us Rhea-ma'am?"

"Don't want to get in your way besides I have training soon, my Master got really ticked off last time for being late." She laughed and hurried out of the temple, jumping down the stone stairs four at a time towards the forest at the bottom.

"You seem to be making a lot of trips to visit the monks lately." The long haired sorcerer stepped out from behind a tree with Yuki at his heels.

Rhea laughed nervously "I was just returning something."

Chase stared at her curiously "Which was?"

"The er- ancient scroll of the Shen Gong Wu."

"Why?"

Rhea's brain was screaming explanations at her so many in fact that it overwhelmed her and the first thing she blurted was "So they could get their Wudai weapons."

'What the hell did I just say? I'm dead.'

Chase ignored her previous statement and turned his back to her, she sighed with relief.

'Safe'

"Since you seem to have too much time on your hands, I am sending you after a new Shen Gong Wu."

"Wuya isn't going with Jack? I didn't think you needed the Wu?" Rhea stopped asking questions when her teacher shot her a violent glare over his shoulder.

"This one will be useful to own. You will take Siren and seek the Wu out in Australia."

"WHAT? Australia is over five thousand miles away! It'll take at least ten hours to get there with a commercial flight." Rhea argued the cons of this trip rather loudly.

"Borrow the Sliver Manta Ray from Spicer."

Rhea gave up with her pointless arguing "Hai Hai."

"As if I got stuck with you," Siren complained sticking her feet on the dashboard of the flying manta ray shaped mini plane.

"Quit your whining, I didn't want to get stuck with you either."Rhea retorted bitterly.

The hostess stared out the window at the never ending sea of clouds wishing the journey could be a bit more enjoyable. "Why did you agree to find this thing anyway?"

"I was asked to."

"You never did what teachers at school asked you to do, why start following orders now?"

"I've always shown my martial art sensei's respect."

Siren turned her gaze to the younger pilot "Is that all you're showing him?" a broad grin spread across her face as Rhea's cheeks turned pink.

"I'm not a whore like you!" she snapped back not moving her eyes from the view in front of her.

"You spent most of your school life in Kabukichō, you're not exactly little miss innocent." Siren reminded.

"As they say where there bars there are bar fights. That's all I ever participated in." Rhea brought the mini plane in to land near a large Victorian styled building. "At last this awkward conversation can end."

"What is this place?" Siren noticed the lack of people in the area, Rhea headed towards the building's main enterance which like the rest of the exterior was decaying.

"This is Beechworth Asylum. According to this device Jack lent me, the wu we're looking for is in here."

The older woman stopped in her tracks, she felt like hundreds of little butterflies were fluttering around in her stomach "I can't go in there."

Rhea leant on the twisted door "Why not?"

"Places like this are haunted." Siren frowned when the laidback girl chuckled.

"You've got nothing to fear. There's no such thing as ghosts."
