The Disciples

Chapter 9

It took a while before Azril can fully recover from Bryan's 'attack'. Can I really call that an attack? I think Bryan just violated Azril's dignity in front of his mentor. He was sitting cross-legged with a cup of green tea while Riana and Kurt sat opposite.

They're doing their best to comfort him. Well, what do you expect from a guy who works at a cafe with his favourite selection of rock and heavy metal bands. Pop and rock really are the big wars in the music industry. Rap is almost close.

"Think of your favourite song at the moment," my sister encouraged. "Think of Avenged Sevenfold or maybe Slayers."

He only sighed loudly. Not even Kurt, who approached him to climb on his arm was pushed away. Man, poor guy! I patted him on the back. "Hey Azril. Feeling alright? Sorry about Bryan though."

He took a deep breath before nodded. "Yeah. Didn't expect Bryan to pull off a stunt like that. Hell, didn't know he would actually dance aggressively."

"Only Bryan," I chuckled. "Take your time. We're going to be here until Kitana and Jade call us to leave. Oh, Kristina is the other disciple in case you're wondering."

He grunted. "I know Kristina. The news that came out yesterday spreads like wildfire here. But I got to say, I'm impressed. Ermac could've pulled out her intestines like from The Mummy movies. Through her nose..."

"Knowing Kristina," my sister added. "She could handle herself in any situation. You know, she wanted to beat the shit out of Kahn when we first met him."

Smiling, I left the two- no three of them to continue their chat. Maybe a walk around would help me ease my mind. I'm gonna need it since I may be fighting Sub Zero's disciple after all. I just hope Azril is okay.

But I stopped my tracks with a view that I won't get tired of: Jade warming up. Well, I can't help myself can't I? Not when you have a beautiful woman of light ebony skin in an outfit that could practically make me hard.

Her graceful skills, her eyes...God, I-

"Hey," a voice interrupted. "What are we looking at~" In reflex, I quickly punched the person close to my personal space. It was Bryan.

"Seriously Nash," he groaned. "Do you really have to punch me when I asked you something?"

"Why can't you stop snooping?" I asked him angrily. There are times when I am annoyed with him. This is one of them. But Bryan only grinned like a Chessy-Cat. "What's this? Nash has a boner for Jade! Oh my god, I'm so-"

I quickly covered his mouth, shoving him to the wall. "Why can't you keep your mouth shut? Do you want to let me die?!"

Unfortunately, my voice was loud enough to make the Edenian beauty stare at the both of us. Great...just fucking great! My one and only chance to reconcile with Jade may be ruin due to Bryan's busybody attitude. Getting the message, Bryan scrambled off somewhere, probably looking for Johnny Cage. I am waiting for a beatdown but she simply approached me.

"Nash," she said my name which is like music to my ears. "Is everything alright?" I nodded vigorously.

"Then," she continued. "I'd like to show you something tonight. It's just to get to know one another." I blushed. Is this really coming true? Am I finally getting to know my sexy Edenian warrior on a personal level? I better tell Riana this! Without thinking, I accepted the offer.

Finally! I can spend time with the woman of my dreams. A smile was plastered onto my face as Sub Zero called me to fight his disciple. I'm glad Azril looks well, he needs it if he wants to survive. Then again, I am pretty sure he will be fine.
