The Unknown Saga

Chapter 8: Bound by Blood

The night had passed without any much of a whisper, and as the morning came, It had seemed that the day had came. Scarlet had woken up first, rather early in fact, and she had gotten dressed. She had slipped into traditional black leggings that seemed to stop at the ankles. To accompany this, a traditional style chinese dress had been slipped over her top. It was red in base with black ringed effects scaling up the dress. With the front leftmost of the dress and mirrored on the back reading 'Kyūbino Kitsune' as a way to honor the family she had created. Putting on slippers that have been deemed acceptable to tread on the dried bamboo's mat that had layered the upper floor's of the head quarter's. She had decided to put her hair into a ponytail, placing a band over it to properly seal it and have the hair stay in place. With a moment to breath and be able to think, she wanted to know if this was a good idea. Well, Correction; she wanted to see if she thought it was a good idea. Truthfully, she was frightened to step into a world she had no idea about. But she wanted to help luthor, and she wanted to make sure that they were able to adventure. She wanted to do this, and she would stop having such a back and forth between the two sides of her brain. She had already come up with her decision.

Luthor would snore so loudly that he woke himself up, his body jolting awake as he would sit up. He looked around the room, seeing that the room was real. He looked to see the lady of his dreams sitting in a chair with a cup of tea in her hand, the cup's plate in the other. "It was real...it was all real..." He spoke with such a tone of disbelief that it was almost like he fully expected to wake up and be alone. "Is there any coffee left, Scar?" He asked as he got his feet on the ground and started to wake up. "Yes hon, There's even a cup pulled down for
you." She said as he would take some deep breaths. He needed to get his head out of the clouds and really get into being awake. He would wipe the sleep from his eyes as he shambled his way to the counter. "Man...I can't believe my luck. I stumbled into a wrong building, look for the wrong guy, and I found a lady so lovely that she gives me a chance at her hand." He went over yesterday's events, and he just found himself so befuddled. He poured his coffee, and added two packets of sugar before he stirred as he pondered. He suddenly felt a hand against his chest, the coldness of such hand giving it away immediately. "Such luck is given to the bold, ya know?" Came the lovely lady's voice.

She had stood up from her chair, placing her coffee cup and plate on the table beside her chair, to walk up to luthor. "But I believe that now is truly the time. You should get dressed and ready so we can announce to the family that I'm going to step down. I'll have my right hand take over for now, Seeing as I trust them more then I trust my own family." She had explained her thoughts to luthor, and he had nodded in agreement. "That makes sense, Have someone close to you take your place so that Things don't go terribly off track for the family." He put in his two cents on the matter with a smile on his face. He swept his hair out of his face to make sure his eyes could see in front of him. He lifted the coffee to his lips to take his first drink, and that warm feeling inside of his stomach really got him moving. It made him wake up to the world around him and he would nod. "Alright hon. I'll get a shower once I'm done with my coffee. That okay with you?" Scarlet would lift her head slightly, and chuckle. "of course dear. I'll get the present family assembled into the meeting room." With that, she had slipped away from luthor and opened the shoji, exiting to the absence of the building. Luthor would sip his coffee as he sat on the bed, finishing his coffee.

Scarlet would utilize her pager to ask for the remaining two heads of the family to gather their important advisor's and whatever small time fodder that they had on standby to the meeting hall. They responded quickly and with an affirmation of order's and began preparation right away. She would grab her kneeling mat, and place it at the head of the room. Grabbing a second for luthor, she would place it next to her's and she would sigh softly. She would kneel on her mat and relax for a moment as she processed what she was going to do, and she processed the words she needed to use. This was a very delicate situation, and if she made things sound terrible due to just the words she used, then there's a high likelihood whoever takes over will commit to a raid on japan to make sure Hell rises up. She needs to play this as smart and carefully as possible so that the family won't be a hellish round up to bully japan, and she would bow her head as small time gangster's would enter the room. But that's when she saw the two heads of the Kyūbino Kitsune, Her brother and Her uncle. "Micheal, Hirochi. I'm glad you could make it in a reasonable amount of time. I trust the roads weren't busy?" She asked, finding micheal to nod towards her. "Of coarse, We know the roads to take to get here. I hope this is important stuff."
