Chapter 4 - Embarrassment all around

Awaki sat in the carriage breathing heavily, exhausted from carrying the weight of his soaking wet clothes. The ride was quiet, no words were spoken, the clopping of the horse, the pouring rain and the sound of the wind filled the air. Until suddenly the mysterious man asked: "what would your name be? I don't remember anyone fitting your description in the Fang house." "My name is Fang Awaki. I am the first born of Lord Fang Amei." "mmm" the mysterious man hums. The carriage finally stops. The coachman hops down from the reins and opens the doors. "My lords, we have arrived at the Fang Clan. The mysterious man gets off the carriage first when Awaki gets up he feels a hand grab the collar of his robes then his feet lift off the ground. "Woah" Awaki shouts. Then his feet hit back onto the ground. Awaki laughs and squeezes out a "thank you sir." "mmm" hums the man.

Two women both dressed in purple robes come up to the both of them both giving Awaki a side eye. "Welcome to the Fang clan Lord Akito please follow us '' they both say in unison. Awaki tilts down his head with wide eyes. 'I just let lord Akito, our esteemed guest see me like this, I'm in such trouble I didn't even know someone was visiting today until those people were talking about it'. Akito walked up the steps leisurely with Awaki walking carefully behind him making sure not to trip up and fall down the stairs.

Once through the heavy fire red front doors there stands a beautiful courtyard filled with trees bearing burgundy star shaped fruit. The sweetness of the fruit wafting into both Awaki and Akitos nose. Awaki taking a deep breath making the backs of his teeth ache from the sweetness. Not a cloud or rain drop in the sky. But the sound of thunder and rain assaulted behind him. Before Awaki can take another deep breath of the sweet fruit, someone calls his name. FANG AWAKI! Snapping out of the sweetness, Awaki faces the sound of his name being called. "Father?" Awaki asks. "What are you doing here with General Akito?"

Fang Amei says, his eyes red and a big vein bulging on his head. Before Awaki can say anything, Akio speaks up. "I saw this one lost in the streets and decided to help. I didn't expect the son of Fang Amei would be so easily lost." Fang Amei's face goes red in embarrassment. *cough* "I will talk to you later Awaki go get cleaned up" Fang Amei claps his hands and a man as tall as a tree throws Awaki over his shoulder and walks towards the bathing room. General Akito sees this and frowns slightly. "Anyways General Akito shall we talk in my office?" "mmm" Akito hums then follows Fang Amei.
