Chapter 14:
Omi had been worried about Rhea's safety after his fellow dragon-in-training practically fired her out of the cavern, he was training by himself in the forest outside the temple since his friends still hadn't forgiven him for driving Jermaine out of the temple again.
"Not to smart are ya kid?"
The bald monk looked up into the trees to see a small bean with unnatural yellow teeth
"Hannibal bean"
The bean used a shield shaped item on his arm and grew in size "Now now I'm only here to give you a warning about that Rhea lass"
Omi frowned at the vegetable "Why should I believe you?"
"No one said ya had to, I'm just giving you some gossip" Hannibal flashed a toothy grin "That Rhea gal has been hanging around Chase Young and played you against your buddy Jermaine"
Omi couldn't believe what he was hearing "Rhea is an admiral warrior she would never side with the forces of evil"
Hannibal chuckled "It's the truth she's been batting her eyes at Chase for some time" the evil bean vanished into the thicket leaving Omi to his training.
"Rhea can't be evil" Omi mumbled repeated under his breath trying to wash away any doubts he had. The forest rustled softly in the night breeze "but she has stolen two shen gong wu from us but she's our friend"
"You shouldn't talk to yourself you'll go mad" another voice made him jump, he was so deep in thought he hadn't heard anyone creep up on him
"Rhea" he stared at the tall figure who smiled at him warmly
"The one and only"
Omi was at a lose he didn't know what to do, two people had claimed she was evil but he so desperately wanted to trust her, she didn't let things disrupt her training like the monks,
"What's wrong Omi?"
The monk couldn't lie to her and blurted out his worries "Are you working for Chase young?"
Rhea laughed his question off "Of course not"
For some reason these words didn't reassure the young monk "Do you like Chase Young?"
This time Rhea was very taken back "What on earth gave you that idea?"
"Hannibal Bean told me-"
Rhea interrupted him "Do you usually take advice from vegetables?"
The monk hung his head in shame he felt terrible for suspecting a friend again, the older girl knelt down to his height and smiled at him
"Don't worry about it Omi, I came here because I needed your help actually" she rose to her feet again to pick something up out of the shadows a giant pair of golden sheers "Soul cutter" a dramatic swipe of the scissors separated Omi's evil spirit from his main half "Mimic Golem" the statue created a lifelike copy of Omi which the spirit merged with "always so helpful. Thanks Omi." Rhea left the unconscious monk outside the temple walls before leaving with the golem.

Rhea turned up at the evil prince's layer and stormed into the dining area Wuya instantly jumped on her when she spied the small monk at her heels
"Why did you bring him here?"
The younger woman stood with her arms folded smugly "I've brought you a new lackey so you can stop using me" she stated bitterly "I made proper of your stupid toys" with this said Rhea threw the golden scissors at the old witch "Since you apparently don't know how"
"Is there someone here I can fight?" golem Omi pounced on one of Chase's jungle cats eager to fight something, Rhea didn't say anything else and left the layer once again this time with Yuki at her side.

"For once you're not here one business I am amazed" Rayne laughed joining her old friend at the bar.
Rhea groaned slamming the shot glass back onto the counter "I needed a break"
"From what?"
"Everything"
"Why don't we go to my office it's much quieter in there" Rhea nodded and followed her to the spacious office. Yuki stretched her legs before curling up on the red rug, "I can tell if there's something wrong I've known you for too long"
"And how in the world do you still put up with me?" Rhea laughed putting her feet up on the coffee table as Rayne handed her a glass of whiskey
"The same way you put up with me"
Rhea sighed "there's only so much I can take before I'd like to lay someone out"
"Your master?"
"No it's one of his associates, she's starting to really piss me off!" rhea complained loudly accepting a refill of whiskey "Always draped over his arm, only time she's not there is when I have training and she's started treating me like a bloody errand boy"
Rayne didn't have much chance to say anything when one of the host's burst into the office "Mama-san the police are here"
"What!" Rhea followed Rayne who stormed into the main area of the club, the music had stopped playing and small group of police offers stood at the door "Can I help you?"
"You were warned last time but this is the last straw we have complaints about your bouncers again and that an underage teenager was allowed in and that's only the tip of the iceberg"
Rhea recognised the tallest officer and intervened "I'm sorry that teenager is my younger brother he often follows me here"
"Kiyosawa?"
Rhea smiled "It's been a while hasn't Takahiro-kun"
"If I'm not mistaken aren't you filed as a missing person?"
"Have I? Well I'm certainly not missing."
Takahiro sighed "I'm going to have to take you home"
"Under the circumstances that you'll leave my friend's club alone, I mean come on Bouncers are suppose to be a little violent"
"You know I'm not meant to bargain –"
"It's not a bargain…it's a favour we've been through so much together" the officer sighed and gave in ushering Rhea out of the building along with his underlings. "I'll call you later Rayne"
Takahiro ordered his men to continue their patrol stating that he would escort Rhea home.
"your parents have been worried about you"
"I highly doubt that and beside I moved out so I'm not missing" Rhea followed him obediently out of Kabukichō "So took over your fathers job I take it?"
"That's right" Takahiro stopped in his track turning to face Rhea "Why is it you always seem to be causing trouble?"
She shrugged "It's my nature to cause trouble" the streets weren't as busy as they usually were so Rhea took this opportunity to make her getaway though her old 'friend' latched onto her arm
"Don't make me handcuff you"
Rhea chuckled kicking him sharply in the ribs "Later" and ran back into Kabukichō to Rayne's club to pick up Yuki before taking off again
"Was he a friend?"
"Just another convenient person from my past" Rhea stated as they flew over Tokyo tower
"Do you have any real friends?" Yuki questioned curiously
"Rayne and Jack that's about it, I had a bad reputation in school so people stayed away from me beside I didn't crave friends so I didn't make any" Rhea yawned and laid back on the fan "I found that most people didn't like my views on a lot of things so that contributed to my lack of friends"
"So what do you see me as?"
"Of course I see you as a valued companion, those with power should be respected. You're awfully chatty tonight any particular reason?"
Yuki shook her head "I was just interested, you don't seem to hold anything to close."
"Life is too short to cling to meaningless ideals I prefer going with the flow. School was boring, home was dreary the only things I found fun were martial arts and causing chaos around Shibuya"
