Two Baku ran side by side down the gentle mountain slope, their trunks swaying from side to side as they moved. One Baku was st.u.r.dy and yet there was an elegance as its paws padded along the ground, each strong muscle in its furred legs flexing and relaxing as it ran with relative ease. This Baku held two riders, but did not seem to care about the weight. The other Baku was, for want of a better word, fat and plodded heavily along, wheezing every so often and trumpeting in complaint. The beast was a soft pink and were it not for its excessive body weight, would have been sought for by many young ladies as an elegant mount. Fortunately or unfortunately, its existing female owner liked its plushness and continued to spoil it stupidly."Slow down!" The girl called out to the pair on the st.u.r.dy mount, but was simply glared at by the taller of the two riders, before his onyx eyes lowered and looked at the large mount beneath her in distaste. However, before he could refuse her request audibly, she added; "Leon is asleep, wouldn"t be well for him if he fell off!"
Jin Li glanced down at the youth leaning into his chest; it seemed that he really had fallen asleep. Using me as a pillow again? Very good...! Jin Li sneered slightly, but pulled on the reigns to slow the mount he had borrowed from the school. At the same time, he wrapped an arm about the sleeping alchemist. Just try to fall off now!
"You really shouldn"t keep him awake all night," Maimai said with a bright grin upon her pretty face. She had absolutely no qualms speaking aloud with suggestive words. He needs rest from time to time!"
Jin Li frowned; "What are you implying? This Lord has nothing to do with his sleepless night. This Lord slept quite soundly." This was true, once he had stopped devouring Leon"s mouth and moved away from him, he had been able to repress his thing and drift to sleep. Granted, there remained some dissatisfaction in his heart, but...
"You really did nothing to him?" Maimai questioned startled and glanced over at the peacefully sleeping boy, contently nestled in Jin Li"s arms. "Oh, so you didn"t sleep in Leon"s hut last night..." She pouted, somewhat disappointed.
"Whether I slept there or not," Jin Li said, with much irritation, "What business is it of yours?"
"As Leon"s best friend," Maimai replied, indignantly, "I am simply looking out for his wellbeing!" It has absolutely nothing to do with the double yang romance coming into existence right before her eyes! Honest! "I care about him... as a friend!" She added this last bit hastily as the black of Jin Li"s eyes seemed to darken impossibly more.
"You no longer need to care about him," Jin Li told her, his tone heavy with implied warning. "He has me to care for him."

But the girl refused to heed him. "So you inquired after him this morning? Do you know why he is so sleep deprived then? Was he making pills all night long?"
"No, he was not!" Jin Li found this small woman infuriating. He would inform his small alchemist to have nothing to do with her in the future. "He was like this from when this Lord rose to wake him this morning!"
Maimai was startled, he actually growled at her! But she was soon over that angry gesture of his when she heard his words. "So you did share a bed with him!" Her wicked grin returned, just glancing at it made Jin Li feel distinctly uncomfortable. "But you didn"t touch him..." she sighed, believing that she had pinpointed the problem. Perhaps not just anyone with eyes knew how much Leon liked the martial artist, but Maimai did and suspected that perhaps Leon"s sleepiness actually stemmed from having to lie beside this thoughtless lover without doing anything. She was partially correct, at least. "So mean!"
"I pity your future husband," Jin Li drawled, bitterly. "So full of contradiction! First lashing with your sharp tongue suggesting this Lord forced Leon to remain awake half of the night then bitter that this was not so? Not sure how exactly either reveals your care for this Lord"s alchemist!"
The girl pouted once more, deciding to give Jin Li the silent treatment on Leon"s behalf. She was difficult? Had he looked into the depths of a bronze mirror lately? Ah Leon, she thought to herself, if only you hadn"t fallen for him! I could have found you a nice, caring gong instead of this walking, cold flame! Then the only tiredness you would experience, is that of a youth experiencing summer after spring!
The gates of Julip town came into view and Maimai decided to hurry her Piku, much to the Baku"s unhappiness. Jin Li did not bother to catch up with her, he had no intention of accompanying her from the beginning! However, Maimai was a girl who liked to have the last word so threw back a few cryptic words for Jin Li"s ears; "Two clouds cannot pa.s.s by each other in the sky, must follow the same path, but two clouds may come together in the sky, then surely can make rain!"
