One Tail at a Time

My Temper

It is three days later and I am sitting outside in the private gardens in the sun and waiting for Shifu who wants to talk to me.  Im feeling far better now that I am out in the fresh air than when I did when I awoke this morning.  It had taken far longer for me to piece together what exactly had happened, though of course the moment I looked back to find Shifu inspecting a new tail, then the events from the Inventors Convention came back thick and fast.

Surprisingly, I wasn't even embarrassed by Shifus attentiveness to my butt,  in fact I barely registered it because my head was swimming with the new cultivation that a new tail always brings me.  And so for a while I merely lay there thinking back to Liwei and how he getting on.  I know if that had been me, I might not have been as calm and collected as he was, I would have absolutely thrown a tantrum, so I guess that's the big difference between us.  

In fact, Liwei reminds me a lot of Shifu.  In public anyway.  He is very much the model citizen, who speaks softly, is dignified but has the aura of a pleasant yet untouchable persona, much like his own father too.  Actually, his father is also much like Shifu which I think is kind of weird seeing as they are from two completely different backgrounds, so Im kind of guessing that when one reaches a great age and High God status, you just gain an elegance of sorts which is then taught to your children.

Still, after what happened, I can easily imagine the Demons losing that elegance in the privacy of their home, which is super scary because Shifu taught me just how much of a righteous people they are, and he also taught me how very fiercesome their Overlord is when angered, and he was definitely angry even though he was most pleasant to me.  Still, their people are a proud race, like I said before, so I'm not sure how friendly Liwei will continue to be towards me once they've had time to think and then possibly plan.

Im super lost in thought and fully enjoying the mid morning sun, when Fu Yu enters behind me.  My knees are drawn up to my chest and my cheek is squished against the top of them while one hand is aimlessly twirling a few strands of hair around my finger, and being so lost to the memory of the embrace that Liwei gave me, which is now making me smile, I completely miss the charge of air behind me seconds before a large tress of my hair is whipped up into the air and yanked back followed by a deafening cackle of pure evil!

Screeching like a banchee, I imagine my face looks like the very bowels of hell, I am initially terrified and then super angry as Fu Yu then quickly flitters out of reach of hands that are striking out to seriously take his head from his stupid shoulders.

"Fu Yu!" I scream at him and now on my feet giving chase about the garden.

"Haha you stupid goofey face, I saw that smile....... what were you thinking about huh?" he asks mockingly while blowing smoochy kisses at me while deftly avoiding all attempts at being caught.....  "I saw the way you hugged that Demon boy.... you were goofy smiling over him hahahaha....." he mocks me even more and mking me so angry that I throw a bolt of energy which barely misses him and making him laugh even louder.   

"I was not!  You stupid crazy chī dòu fu" I scream at him as another bolt of energy is thrown at those lips that are pursed in the most grotesque kiss I have ever seen.

"Ho ho.... smutty mind.... I knew it!" he spins uncontrollably in a fit of laughter and smoochy kisses that kind of stuns me, because I didn't think he would even understand it. 

"Fu Yu....  take it back....." I warn him as my anger begins to boil out of control.

"Hugging and kissing... I saw your smutty smutt smutt smile for Liweeeeeeeiiiiii...." he coos pathetically while slobbering dramatically all over the palm of his hand and just like that!  My temper is now exploding!
