Chapter 39

It appears everyone is having a blast.

Suiryu was keeping back, watching everyone having a good time. He couldn't quite explain it himself but, he felt like he needed to be vigilant. Specially with Toshi here at the beach. When everyone was setting up, Suiryu then picked up on some of the divine making their way to the beach. However they paused at the sight of him… but then looked around Suiryu to see Toshi.

"You can approach and speak with him, but don't do anything funny." He warned them.

In fact, divine creatures he saw appeared to be very aware of the situation before them. However none bore a greedy look on their faces. He knows what to watch out for since the last time he was at the beach, Yuuji was rendered a baby dragon. But this time around, he believes they are more than aware of who ELSE is watching. Not to mention, there is more than one dragon at the beach…

That could explain the record number of the divine creatures that he is seeing… oddly enough most of them are females!

The ladies were setting up around his area, keeping close but a respectable distance. Some were even swooning when they saw him tuck in Ryoto for his nap. Toshi himself was getting ready to rest when Suiryu saw them coming.

Body builders and their sights set on him!

Not on his watch!

Suiryu was quick to cut them off before they got too close. "HEY!" he called out. "You eying my friend there… mind not doing that. It's creepy as shit."

There were ten of them, they snickered at Suiryu before one peered over at him. "You're friends with a beached whale huh? Figures as much, you don't lift do you?"

"Either your too stupid for your own good or trying to get a rise out of me, either way, I ain't impressed here." Suiryu snapped back. "Move along, besides, it would be in your best interest to not mess with him."

They snickered. "Look here buddy, that guy has prime real estate there, he surrounded by the babes, and we want to have that spot now. So, move his fat ass along!"

He was unmoved.

"You're in it for the chicks?" He rolled his eyes. "You do realize that my friend there, he would get more than the ten of you put together!"

"PROVE IT!" they snapped back.

Suiryu smirked to them. "Very well then, set up near by him, don't approach my friend and do your best to pick up the ladies."

"When we win, you and your fatass friend leave."

"When WE win… you boys fuck off and leave us alone. Or, I'll remove you by force if I have to."

Not to his surprise though, they were not deterred. "Look here asshole, you know who runs this beach? A city councilman, this is his jurisdiction!" he protested.

"I give a shit to that why?" Suiryu snapped back.

They bore greedy grins. "HE made a declaration since he's just like us, a body builder. He has said the biggest body builder on the beach dictates the rules!"

"What the fuck…" Suiryu muttered and yet sighed aloud. He knows this isn't going to end well already, but, he could use a good laugh either way.

They began to set up on the beach. The muscle heads kept some distance between each other as they attempted to flirt with the ladies around them.

The thing was, Suiryu never told them that the ladies were all of his nieces!

Not to mention… they heard EVERYTHING!

So, he set up his beach chair and watched it all go down. He was able to warn them ahead of time as to what was going on. Ironically, his sisters, Yuuji and Syrax had left the beach to get snacks. So it will be an interesting sight to see later on once they return.

But still, the event was on now and Suiryu was already smirking as the body builders began to make their move.

They tried to start up conversations, yet flexing their arms and showing off their features.

"Um… what are you doing?" demanded Calypso as one had his arm a little too close for comfort.

"Don't you want to feel my muscle?" the guy asked of her in a savvy tone.

"No" she said bluntly. "Quite frankly, I don't know why you are sitting so close to me…"

They were getting disgusted looks all over the place and rejected on sight. Suiryu was trying not to laugh too hard at them, but it was amusing to see them all get shot down.

One decided to try to increase their odds, by getting rid of Toshi.

He turned and glare at where he was resting, but stood up and was prepared to kick sand all over him… how unfortunate for him that the girl he was attempting to flirt with… was Toshi's daughter!

As he went for the kick, she shoved him off balance.

"What the hell you bitch!"

"What the hell, you bastard! You were going to kick sand all over him and for what!" she snapped.

"What would you care? He's just a fatass on the beach!"

"Ooo, he should NOT have said that…" Suiryu chuckled.

Aiko glared at him, she has her mother's 'put the fear of some sort of god into you' look. The guy froze instantly, in fact everyone around him froze at her gaze.

"You… dare… mock… my… FATHER!"

Ah, that's the look of utter fear he has been waiting to see. In fact all the ladies glared at these men. "He's our uncle!" they snapped to them. "You were going to have him leave weren't you? Why do you think we are sitting around him? Our uncle came to accompany us!" shouted Calypso.

The body builders then turned and glared at Suiryu… who merely smiled wickedly back at them. "You never asked if I knew them!" he decreed.

"This… this doesn't count!" one protested.

Just then a new group of women appeared. Suiryu smiled since he knew them too, after all, they are D'angelo's familiars!

He texted him before the contest started, apparently, D'angelo knew of these guys as well and was more than happy to offer some assistance.

The ladies who showed up are often used as models, they are also aware of Suiryu and the situation at hand and were quick to get to work. They started to set up their towels and kept some distance away from them. That was when the body builders decided their new marks. Instantly, they went over and started to 'strut their stuff' as it were.

The ladies would look but didn't appear interested at all.

As timing would have it, Ryoto woke up from his nap. He left Toshi who was now sitting up and just basking in the sun.

D'angelo's familiars began to notice him.

"Oh? Whose he?" one asked aloud in a coy tone.

"I don't know, but he looks cute doesn't he?"

"Wait? Are you staring at that fat whale?!" one of the body builders demanded.

He got glared at. "Fat whale?" one of the ladies demanded. "You think it's all about looks?"

"Well duh! Look at him, he can't even see his own feet! And now… he's trying to eat!"

Suiryu peered over it was time for Toshi to have a mid, pre lunch snack. Yet, there was a problem. His snacks were out of reach for him. It was a little sad to see him struggle to reach his bag of snacks that was when the move was made. D'angelo's familiars suddenly stood up and approach Toshi. They kept a respectable distance but spoke rather sweetly to him.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but do you need some help?"

Toshi, flushed with red and nodded. "I… would appreciate the assistance. I am sorry to trouble you…" They began to converge on him. The ladies suddenly flanked him from all sides, they were quick to retrieve his snacks and fed him. He kept peering at Suiryu who only winked and encouraged him to go along.

Besides… the big guns just arrived…
