"Let go you bastard!" Kiyoshi hung upside down adjusted the black mask on his face.
"Ss' let's drink brothherss."Rai Shen wore a black mask that complement his his black and red merchant disguise clothing, holding up Kiyoshi by his ankle.
"First brother let Kiyoshi down and well walk home together okay."Rai Akuma had on a black face mask like Shen, and Kiyoshi matching their black and red merchant disguise clothing.
"NO.. ii ssant Oo home. Let's draRink brotherss." Rai Shen drunkenly swings Kiyoshi towards his table, accidentally knocking his head onto a table spilling a pitcher of ale.
"Ouchhhh.."
"HEY. Mate watch were your ... tossing a person?Awh'Man you wasted good ale!" A red haired gentleman in a black long sleeve and silver vest with black pants stood up gracefully reaching for his swords hanging from his belt. He was a bit short, but carried an air of nobility and arrogance unlike the ruffian looking pirates seated beside him.
"What tomato head, do you want to fight!"Upside-down Kiyoshi taunts the angry red haired gentleman.
"Calm down Kiyoshi, Sorry sir my brother is drunk forgive us this once, here some compensation for your ale and clothes." Akuma hands a pouch of coins to the disgruntled red head.
"Hmph I like this one, not just handsome but smart too. At least you know to apologize...Woah.. do you think this little bit is enough compensation." The gorgeous red haired gentleman slowly tied the coin pouch to his belt with care before holding out his hand. "Pass em' forward fella's... don't even think of leaving with your spacial rings." The men around the red haired gentleman stood up holding their swords instinctively.
-Plop-
"Hey arghh youh tryna cheet mah brothrr? Why do youh neehd hiss spacial ring?" Shen drops Kiyoshi, and grabs the red haired man by the collar of his shirt effortlessly lifting him off the floor.
Rai Shen looks down at the red haired gentleman in surprise, his eyebrows pull together in a contemplating expression.
His expression was clear to read, he felt extremely uncomfortable and guilty.
The red haired gentleman was always confident in his Spirit level. He focused on body strengthening the most so he knew the amount of strength it took to move him a inch, he even made lots of money off bets, in strength challenges. Yet this man lifted him off the ground like a sack of potato's shattering his self confidence.
"Woah there.. calm down Mate... no.. no you got it all wrong I'd never cheat your Lil' brother Boss! It was Sasori that thief'en Bastard definitely asked for your brothers spacial ring."
"Wreelly? Which ones Saasori.." Rai Shen gently places the red haired man back down, tossing his coat on him. Rai Shen looks suggestively down at the mans neckline in response to his confused look as if saying 'you know why'.
The red haired gentleman clutches the coat around himself in frustration and embarrassment.
"Pstt ..Umi, remember...Sasori left a hour ago."A blue eyed pirate boldly reminds Umi.
"Ahh that's right, then it must have been you Mizuno. Apologize to this handsome fella and order some more ale." Umi scolded the blue eyed pirate.
"Yes Capt- Umi" the blue eyed pirate Mizuno turns and bows to Shen. "Sorry Sir's, I meant no harm I just wanted to strengthen our friendship by viewing your rings! Excuse my inconsiderate request, allow me to retrieve some more ale for you brothers as an apology."
"Mm I do like ale."Rai Shen walks back to his table and drops onto a seat.
"Great now that's over let's drink!! What do you say handsome stop growling on the floor and let's drink our sorrows away and bed all the beauty's before night becomes day!"Umi wraps his arm around Kiyoshi dragging him to the table.

In the mountain hideout.
"Baby your awake! I'm so glad... how are you feeling? Any discomfort, tell Mommy if you feel sick in anyway ..okay?" Queen Akira held the young boy in her embrace checking for any signs of discomfort.
"Mother I'm fine, I just had a hard time with cultivating." Rai Shinah reassures her mother.
"Well I'm glad your awake now that stubborn brother of yours will return home, once he hears of your recovery. Shin'er I don't know what he did.. but you mustn't forgive him too quickly. Or he'll never learn to be patient or understanding of women ....and never bring us home a wife."
"I won't go easy on him mother! I want a sister-in-law and little niece or nephew too." Shinah agreed quickly.
"Exactly! He's going to be twenty this winter and has yet to find a suitable wife to settle down with, I even started thinking he's.. -sigh- ...bent or not I just wish he'd bring home a lover just once! So I can stop worrying."
"Your Majesty! Oh dear it's bad! Your Majesty, the knights with the young princes just sent word. They failed at stopping the Crowned Prince and joined him in a brawl at ... that establishment. No one can talk sense into the young masters. The King is about to send out Lord Siyan."
"WHAT? Why him? Hurry get a carriage ready for me I'll bring those troublesome boys back!"
"Mother don't worry I'll send Emel to collect my brothers, and you can go to father to convince him from sending Uncle. Don't worry!"
Akira hugs Shinah lovingly, before running off to the castle to talk to her bully of a husband.

At Rai Shen's table.
"Your absolute full of shit Umi!! The ones with the biggest bosoms definitely have the biggest hearts. How would you know that the flatt-boards have the biggest hearts or not!"
"Oi Pig Yoshi, you must have not bedded many women, everyone knows the flat chested beauties have the biggest hearts, just rotten cooking habits. Besides don't only focus on outer appearances, you'll miss out on some of the better quality women, big bosom or not."
"Who you calling a Pig! Only the little brat can call me that!"
"Oi where's this little brat you guys keep mentioning."
"Wait no thats not right ...little brat can't call me a pig either! No one can! And I still prefer the big bosom ones better Hmph, that's our sibling Shin'er."
"Did someone call my name?" A young man in white and red uniform and red mask highlighting his golden eyes walking in suavely. His face and body completely replicating Rai Shen as if they were twins.. Shinah walked leisurely into the tavern, winking and flashing a heart melting smiled seductively towards the serving woman who stood at the side silently staring at him.
"Little Beauty if it's not to much trouble, do you mind fetching this Young Master a cup of ale please."Shinah's male voice oozed masculinity and confidence, her eyes narrowed seductively as she took in the people accompanying her brothers. Her gaze stopped at Umi and widened with interest.
This is the little brat? Mmm He's not little at all... Umi glazed eyes took in Shinah's attractive appearance with appreciation. All these brother are incredibly handsome! They'll definitely make me a pretty penny.
"So while mother and I are waiting at home drowning in worry, my good brothers are out here drinking without consideration for our feelings. I see how it is, I shall join you then... for every minute you remain, will be another cup of ale for yours truly here." Shinah sits back elegantly, smiling while placing her arm around the back of Umi's seat.
"Hell yes! Let's drink little Brat!" Kiyoshi pushes three cups of Ale in front of her. "...your late.. here's your punishment."
"-Hic- Whatt!!! -hic- Shin'er you shouldn't." Akuma awoke from his drunken stupor to disagree. He grabbed Shinahs hand gripped pleadingly. "It's nasty and you feel sick afterwards, stay away from any alcohol okay Little Shin."
Rai Shen's aura suddenly radiated out crushing everything on the table. His overwhelming aura suppressed everyone present.
