I jump off of Li-jie before leading him towards a post for horses. The pair of twins does the same.
I walk into the temple before putting pikachu onto the ground and letting Shiro land onto my arm. Shiro flew nearly all the way but about 10 minutes ago landed on my shoulder.
We all go up to the second floor before we part ways. No one is allowed on the third story unless it is Master Bai or his disciple. I walk up to the third story where I can see a figure near the window. I walk to the middle of the room before kneeling on one knee.
"Master" I cup my hands together showing respect which I rarely do.
"Stand up Adira" The figure says while waving his hand. "I heard that you went to visit your late Mother and siblings".
"Yes Master" I say while sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of the small table in the middle of the room.
"How did things go?" Master asks while sitting cross-legged across from me.
"The same" I look at Master he looks like a 20 year old despite being already 1000 years old.
"So when you mean the same you mean there were people that tried to kill you" Master Bai asks sounding like a teenage boy.
I start pouring tea "mm".
"Oh come on give me some goss. I am dying of boredom being stuck in the temple all day long" Master Bai explodes. He slams his hands onto the small table which results in the tea spilling everywhere.
"Yah. Watch where you are putting your hands" I just poured that now I have to pour it again.
Ugh!
"Sorry. But still fill me in on the goss" He says while wiping the spilled tea with his handkerchief. I fill him in on what happened today. I start from when we were at the cemetery to the point where his letter came by Mei.
"The old hag wants to send you to school!" Master Bai explodes after I finished talking.
"En"
"Are you going to go or are you going to stay?" Master Bai asks.
"I don't want to go..." I start.
"But what?" Master Bai cuts in.
"Orion thinks that this could be a great opportunity for me" I speak while sipping tea.
"How is school a great opportunity?" Master Bai asks.
"I don't know. I will ask him once I get home" I answer slowly.
"Kara don't go school is filled with chaos. Even more chaos than dealing with the board directors at the company" Master Bai warns me.
"Really?" I ask. I don't believe that school could be as chaotic as the board directors. They all don't approve of me being the shadow CEO. But hey I've been doing it for 10 years now.
"Yes. If Ellora was alive she would tell you herself"
"Mm" I answer sadly.
"So, How are their graves going?" Master Bai asks.
"They are still alright. The care taker does a good job of cleaning all the graves so we didn't see mold or anything" I answer. Followed by a long, awkward silence.
"Oh, that reminds me I have made you a new traditional Chinese outfit" Master Bai says while getting a white fan with a pink tree on it out and fans himself.
"Does it have pants" I ask.
For years now he's been trying to get me to be a normal teenager, like putting make up on or wearing dresses. I don't do dresses that is why there are no dresses in my closet unless of course it's shirt dresses. I will wear skirts with shorts attached to it but I would never wear just skirts.
"Well it's longer in the back than the front" He says.
"How long at the front?"
"Only going just above the thighs"
"Okay. So show me where it is"
"Okay" Master Bai stands up and goes towards his swords display. The sword is displayed behind a glass. He turns the case around which makes a click!
A passage way opens behind the display inside is a cloth design studio with countless of sketches on the wall. There are quite a few outfits on display but what catches my eyes is the one right at the front of the room.
It has a wide variety of dark color with a stash at the front with a few straps big enough to fit some weapons. The shirt is like what Master Bai said longer in the back and shorter in the front.
"It looks perfect" I really do love it. Especially since Master Bai tailored everything to what I like from the color to the fabric. "Thank you so much Master" I say while bowing before hugging him. In response Master Bai pats my head.
Master Bai is so awesome. He has raised 3 generations of the Yukimura family; Edith and her brothers and sister. My mother and her brothers and sister. And finally but not least me and my brothers and sister.
Master Bai is what you would call our godfather for all 3 generations. 2 years after my mother died Master Bai was the one to find us and a few other kids near the orphanage where we stayed for half a year before I burnt down of course.
I burned it down to save us and all the children who lived there from the people who ran the orphanage. Although I was a bit mentally unstable when Master Bai found us I did recover after 3 years.
No thanks to my grandmother as soon as I was found she forced me to work as the CEO at the company. At that time I was only 5 years old so it was a lot of responsibility.
After 10 more minutes talking to Master Bai I decide to head back home seeing as dinner would already be cooked. I wave good-bye to Master Bai before we started cantering back to the castle.
"So.... How was everything?" Kala who is riding beside me asks.
"Good. Why?" I answer her.
"Oh nothing really just today is their death anniversary" Kailey joins the conversation.
"Master is fully aware of that we talked about that before we left" I answer them both seeing as they were eagerly awaiting an answer. I swear they have twin telepathy since they can read each others thoughts.
"So is Master Bai still good looking" Kaelynn asks now riding on the other side of me.
"Yes. You saw him before we left" This girl I swear she has had a crush on Master Bai since the first time she laid eyes on him 5 years ago. The reason for being that short is because Master Bai didn't really like to socialize to strangers.
"But still he always acts so mysteries that you never know whats going on in his head" Kaelynn says dreamily.
"Yah. He is more than 900 years older than you go out and find your real soul mate" Kaena hits Kaelynn on the head with her fist.
"Owie" Kaelynn lets go of the reins to rub her head.
I sigh. Just thinking about not listening to all the chaos in the house is making me sad. Over the last couple of years that we have been living together we have made a really tight bond that is unbreakable.
The Blackwell family is the family that I am closest to. Although I am really close to the other 3 families too I am more close to the Blackwell's.
"Are you thinking about leaving us" Kailey asks. Out of everyone in the house she is one of the ones that are best at knowing what they are thinking just by looking at them.
Kailey's dream is to be a therapist helping other people get over horrible experiences as well as being a model. Kailey has a big heart so does her other sisters and brothers.
We finally arrive at the castle after an hour.
