				How to Lose a Garou in 10 Days: A Romantic Comedy with a Supernatural Twist<br><br><br>It was shortly after lunch that Hatsuharu Kawazoe received the message from his parents.&nbsp; He was practicing in the family dojo when it happened.&nbsp; Closing his eyes, he let out a long, slow breath, feeling the length of the bokken in his hands.&nbsp; Dark eyes snapping open, he initiated the first swing of the familiar kata taught to him by his sensei.&nbsp; It was simple, but straightforward, utilizing an economy of motion to defeat an opponent.&nbsp; Granted, the only times it completely succeeded were against an inexperienced opponent, or against one that was taken by surprise, but it was still a source of pride for him – it was the first one he’d mastered.&nbsp; Hatsuharu had even given it a name – “Thunder in the Heavens.”&nbsp; Going into a few other katas, he’d finished his fourth when he heard a slow clapping.&nbsp; Looking in the direction of the sound, the young scion of the Kawazoes saw his oldest older sister, Misuzu.<br><br>“Looks like you’re doing good.&nbsp; No wonder you were the backbone of your kendo team.”<br><br>The youth sighed at his sister.&nbsp; “What do you want, Misuzu?”<br><br>“Mother and Father wish for me to tell you that guests are arriving soon, and that your presence there is required.”<br><br>Hatsuharu’s eyes narrowed. “What for?”<br><br>“I’m not sure.&nbsp; But I believe it has something to do with a negotiation between the House families.”<br><br>“Very well.&nbsp; How soon will they be arriving?”<br><br>“Within the hour, I believe.”<br><br>“All right.&nbsp; I’ll be there.”<br><br>With that, Misuzu left, her hair swishing behind her.&nbsp; Hatsuharu rubbed his temple, and then hung up the practice sword he was using.&nbsp; Heading back to his room, he mulled things over.<br><br>So, his family needed him at a negotiation.&nbsp; A negotiation between the House families.&nbsp; But why him?&nbsp; He was relatively young as a Garou, and not yet involved in family politics.&nbsp; And while his knowledge of Garou law was admirable, he had almost no experience as a negotiator, the only things he’d handled were trivial matters, at best.&nbsp; Perhaps they needed him to serve as a backup for the primary?&nbsp; He’d done that before.&nbsp; Moreover, what could the negotiation be about?&nbsp; He’d find out as soon as he could.<br><br>Reaching his room, Hatsuharu thought about changing out of his training gi and hakama, but decided against it – he’d not been working out that long, and hadn’t worked up much of a sweat.&nbsp; Instead, he picked up his cell and dialed a number.<br><br>It rang twice.&nbsp; “Hello?”<br><br>“Yoshida-san?&nbsp; It’s Hatsuharu Kawazoe.”<br><br>“Oh, Hatsuharu!&nbsp; How can I help you?”<br><br>“Well, I was calling to see if there was anything regarding House negotiations recently…”<br><br>“Just the standard stuff really, there’s nothing out of the ordinary on the books.&nbsp; Why do you ask?”<br><br>“Well, my family’s asked me to be part of a House negotiation, and I can’t imagine myself being part of anything major the family’s doing.”<br><br>“You do know it’s probably just a training exercise, right?”<br><br>“A training exercise?”<br><br>“Yeah.&nbsp; The families do it for mediators your age – they’ll cook up some petty argument for a young Half Moon to settle, and afterwards give the negotiator pointers on what to do.”<br><br>“Why haven’t I heard about this?”<br><br>“Well, given the size of the Kawazoe family, there’s not much need to.&nbsp; In fact, if they are doing this, it might mean that they see potential in you as a negotiator.”<br><br>“Huh.&nbsp; Well, thanks for the heads-up.”<br><br>“No problems.&nbsp; Talk later.&nbsp; Bye!”<br><br>Click.<br><br>So, a training exercise – probably.&nbsp; He could buy that.&nbsp; Putting the phone away, Hatsuharu left his room, and proceeded to the hall where all negotiations involving the Kawazoes took place.&nbsp; Arriving there, he found that his parents, Misuzu, and his younger sister Kaede were there.&nbsp; His father and Misuzu were both in gi and hakama, like himself, and his mother and Kaede were both in formal kimono.&nbsp; <br><br>“Son,” his mother Asa said, coming towards him, her arms open.<br><br>“Mother,” he replied, embracing her.<br><br>Asa rested her head on Hatsuharu’s chest, a hand going up-down on his back.&nbsp; Hatsuharu looked down at her.<br><br>“Is something wrong?”<br><br>“No, no, not at all.&nbsp; Looking at you like this just…reminds me of photographs of your grandfather, when he was a boy.”<br><br>“I’m not a boy anymore, Mother.&nbsp; I’m a man now.”<br><br>She pulled back, hands resting on his chest, smiling.&nbsp; “So you are.&nbsp; Come.”<br><br>The two walked back towards the others, who were already seated.&nbsp; Yuuichi, his father, sat on the far right, furthest from the door; Misuzu sat on the far left, closest to it; Kaede sat on Misuzu’s right; and that left two seats open.&nbsp; Asa sat down next to Yuuichi, on his left, and indicated the empty seat.<br><br>“Here.&nbsp; Sit.”<br><br>Doing so, Hatsuharu looked right, and asked his parents:<br><br>“What exactly is this about?”<br><br>“You will know soon enough,” Yuuichi answered.<br>

				The door to the Kawazoe’s house had a knock at it. Outside the door a female voice could be heard. <br><br>“Why must I do this, daddy?” <br><br>“Because I said you have too.” <br><br>A grumble came from the female, “Well I still say the whole ideas sucks, picking my fiancé for me with out even asking.”<br><br>Kwan chuckled a bit at his daughter’s spirit. “You’ll get over it.”<br><br>“You didn’t have yours picked for you.”<br><br>“On the contrary young lady, you’re mother and I was meant to be married. Both of our parents agreed on it. We both loved each other, and you’ll come to love your new mate as well.”<br><br>Adamantly Aira shook her head, “You let Lin and Mei pick their mates and even Xiao.”<br><br>“Again you are wrong. My step-mother arranged Lin to be married, Mei isn’t stable enough for one, and Xiao has already been promised to a Japanese Fang family.” <br><br>Aira just couldn’t win with her father. Again Kwan knocked gently on the door to the house. He waited patiently for someone to answer, but Aira wasn’t giving up.<br><br>“Well after mom died didn’t you pick Kylee?” <br><br>Kwan shook his head, “She is not a true mate to me, and she is a companion only. I won’t disgrace the memory of your mother.” To which Aira rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, “Prude.” Kwan looked at her, “I heard that.” She gave him a timid smile going quiet waiting for this meeting to start and get over. She’d make this guy hate her, that was her plan.

				<br>Hearing the knock at the door, a young woman at the gate opened it.<br><br>“Lin Kwan-sama?&nbsp; Greetings.&nbsp; I am Kawazoe Sanae.&nbsp; On behalf of my family, I wish to welcome you to our home.”&nbsp; She pointed to a large, old-style house a short distance up the path.&nbsp; “That is the main hall.&nbsp; You are expected.&nbsp; When you arrive, please knock on the door, and one of my family should answer.”&nbsp; Smiling graciously, she said to Aira: “Young lady of the Lin family, welcome.&nbsp; I hope you have a pleasant stay while you are here.”<br><br>Once they were through, she would close the gate, and then go off to attend to her business.<br><br><br>

				Kwan nods then heads down the path. Aira followed him keeping this sour look on her face. There was no doubt she was highly bred. The pure breed oozed off this girl as she walked. <br><br>When they reached their destination Kwan looked at Aira, “You better behave.” Aira shook her head, “Yeah, yeah, what ever.”<br><br>Knocking gently on the door to the meeting room, he waited silently. Aira looked around the place as she stood there. “I can’t believe you made me get dressed up for this.” Kwan put his hand up to her, not to slap her just to silence her. Aira narrowed her eyes at him and scoffed.

				Hearing the knock at the door, Misuzu rose to answer.&nbsp; As she went over to the door, Hatsuharu steeled himself for what was coming.&nbsp; This would be a test of his abilities, his knowledge, everything he had learned up to this point.&nbsp; Somehow, Kaede sensed his feelings, and whispered to him:<br><br>“It will be alright, nii-san.”<br><br>The young Garou took strength from her words.&nbsp; <em>With my family behind me, I can do anything.</em><br><br>Now at the door, Misuzu, clad in gi and hakama, opened it, and saw Kwan and Aira standing there.<br><br>“Lin Kwan-sama?&nbsp; I am Kawazoe Misuzu, and I formally welcome you to our home.&nbsp; Please, come in,” and indicating the cushions across from her own family, “you may sit there.”&nbsp; Her piece said, she bowed and returned to her place next to Kaede.<br>

Aira stood at the door not moving. Looking back to his daughter, Kwan moved grabbing her hand pulling her with him. Aira stumbled a bit then looked at her father. Moving his hands to her shoulders when they got to the seats, he pushed her to sit down, himself taking a seat after her. <br><br>Kwan looked over at the people there with a gentle smile. He looked to young to have a 16 year old daughter, let alone a 20 year old son. “I’m glad that you took the time out of you busy lives to meet us.” Aira sat there silently. Not saying a word she let her father do all the talking for now, unless she was asked something.

				It was Yuuichi who responded to Kwan's words.<br><br>"Not at all.&nbsp; The Kawazoe family is always glad to make time for such esteemed colleagues of ours."<br><br>Now, if either Aira or Kwan looked across to the Kawazoes, they would see that each of them had very noticeable Silver Fang traits - but the young male in the center exhibited traits that would only surface in Silver Fangs of excellent breeding.<br><br>As Hatsuharu looked aross the room, his eyes settled on the young girl in the white dress, something of a contrast to his traditional Japanese clothing.&nbsp; <em>She's pretty...very much so.</em>&nbsp; But, something bothered him - something his father hadn't told him.&nbsp; <em>Just two representatives?&nbsp; What sort of dispute am I supposed to mediate here?</em><br><br>Yuuichi then said to Kwan, "now, shall we begin?&nbsp; I, Kawazoe Yuuichi, formally present to you, Lin Kwan, my son, Kawazoe Hatsuharu, to your daughter, Lin Aira, in marriage."<br><br>Everything in Hatsuharu's mental processes ground to a halt, and then spit out the following thought:<br><br><em>Wait, WHAT?!</em>

				Aira shook her head and looked at the guy who looked dumb founded. She looked at her father, “See daddy he isn’t interested. Can we go home now?” <br><br>Kwan looked at the young man, “Do you find something wrong with my daughter?” His tone did sound as if he was starting to take offense. He prided himself on his children. All 4 of them were of the highest breeding stock in the Lin family. Even his older brother didn’t have a high a breeding as Kwan and Mao had, even if Noe had over 15 kids to his name. Kwan’s nostrils flared just a slight bit. <br><br>Aira had a smirk on her face, internally of course. If her father got mad enough this whole meeting would be called of and she’d be free again to do what ever she wanted. She was waiting for her father to blow up and have a temper tantrum. Then again that would probably be her uncle Sai who did that first. Her father was extremely well balanced when it came to his temper.

				Upon hearing Kwan speak, Hatsuharu replied.<br><br>"Oh, no, not at all, sir.&nbsp; I was just...taken aback by her beauty.&nbsp; She is incredible - I feel honored to have someone of her grace and lineage as my fiancée."<br><br>Mentally, he was disappointed with this tactic used by his parents - he wasn't some wild child, who would refuse such a request - but he would discuss that later, and in private.&nbsp; Opening his mouth again, he said:<br><br>"Sir, I may be young, but I promise to take care of and love your daughter with all my heart."<br><br>Misuzu and Yuuichi, for different reasons, were inscrutable as ever, while Kaede and Asa slightly trembled with joy for him - he was going to be married!<br><br>

				Aira turned her head looking at Hatsuharu giving him a death gaze. <em>“Damn it,”</em> she thought. Looking to her father she gave him a sigh, “Daddy let’s go home.” Kwan looked at her and Aira put her head down. She was going to get it when they got home.<br><br>Kwan looked at Hatsuharu smiling a bit, “I’m glad she meets your approval. I’m sure she’ll make a lovely wife for you. She is about to finish her bridal school.” If only Kwan knew she was skipping her classes. He looked over at the rest of the family. “I assume the negotiations for the dowry are arranged?” He looked at Aira, “Go outside and talk with your new fiancé.” <br><br>Aira got up and stormed out of the room and closed the door. Kwan wasn’t happy about that but smiled, “Please excuse her, she has a slight temper and childish habits we’re still working on.” He didn’t dare say Aira was a spoiled rotten brat.

				Hatsuharu caught the icy-eyed glare Aira sent his way, but he did not react - he would not allow himself to, for his family's sake.&nbsp; The young Garou smiled.&nbsp; "That is excellent to hear, sir."&nbsp; Upon hearing the question of dowry brought up, Yuuichi spoke: "Of course.&nbsp; I believe everything has been taken care of."<br><br>The assembled Kawazoes watched as Aira left the room in a huff.&nbsp; Kaede, for the first time in the meeting, spoke.&nbsp; "It is quite alright, sir.&nbsp; A wise spirit once told me that a mark of excellence is recognizing that the self is never complete, but always on a journey of improvement."&nbsp; When she was finished speaking, Hatsuharu rose.&nbsp; "I believe I will go outside and speak to my fiancée."<br><br>Going to the door, he slid it open, stepped outside, and closed it.&nbsp; Finding Aira out there, he went over to her, offered his arm, and asked: "Well, shall we get to know each other?"

				Aira was indeed outside and when Hatsuharu came outside offering his arm she gave him that death gaze again. “Let’s get one thing straight, WE are NOT fiancés understood. This whole thing is bull shit.” She had a mouth on her when her father wasn’t around, “I didn’t want this and I’m sure you didn’t either. So let’s just not even become fiancés ok?” She folded her arms over her chest and looked at him waiting for his answer, “I for one am not ready to settle down at all. I’m too young and personally,” she gave him the once over and smirked, “You don’t look like you could keep up with me at all.” <br><br>Kwan on the other hand continued to talk to his family about the dowry, he was interested to know what his family could offer to the Lin’s that they didn’t already have.

				As Hatsuharu listened to Aira, he was instantly intrigued.&nbsp; <em>Fascinating...she appears to prize her freedom over doing her duty to Gaia, her tribe, and her family - quite rare for a Silver Fang.&nbsp; She spews so much venom, yet I cannot help but feel that it is born of ignorance.</em>&nbsp; And it was his turn to smirk as she insinuated that she was too much for him.&nbsp; <em>Oh ho...a prideful one.</em>&nbsp; He went over her statements, carefully selecting his own words for a reply.<br><br>And then, he did.<br><br>"The things you say...certainly seem attractive, and true, enough.&nbsp; However, I have a few things to say of my own.&nbsp; First, if what you say is true, and I don't want this, then why are you angry with me?&nbsp; Your anger would be better directed at either your family, or mine, for putting us in this situation.&nbsp; Second, how are you so sure that this <em><strong>isn't</strong></em> what I want?&nbsp; For all you know, this entire situation was one of my own making.&nbsp; Third, what reason, other than keeping your freedom, do you have for not wanting to be my fiancée?&nbsp; You don't even know the first thing about me - who knows, perhaps true love with me is just waiting around the corner, if only you will try.&nbsp; And, lastly..."&nbsp; He held up his left hand, ticking off fingers as he made his statements.&nbsp; "Appearances.&nbsp; Deception.&nbsp; Etc.&nbsp; Etc."<br><br>He looked at her, not angry at all, smiling openly.&nbsp; <br><br>No matter what she tried, he would not turn away.&nbsp; <br><br>No matter how she fought, he would not fail.<br><br>No matter the words she said, he would not back down.<br><br>No matter what.<br><br>He gestured towards the open compound.&nbsp; "Now, shall we walk?"<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>Inside the house, Asa spoke.&nbsp; "Let us set aside the matter of dowry for the moment.&nbsp; Tell us more about your daughter.&nbsp; She seems...feisty."<br>

				Aira looked at Hatsuharu with that same cold stare. She didn’t go near him, she didn’t touch him, and she didn’t want to be here, that was apparent. She just scoffed and turned her nose up at him. “For one you aren’t bred enough to even be near me.” Aira was of the highest breeding stock in Japan. Everyone who was anyone wanted to get into the few houses that were as high as the Lin’s. They had more males in the family then females. Most of them were true born as well. The Lin’s didn’t breed with family members; this is why everyone wanted to be in their family. They specifically went hunting for high bred Kin or True of other family lines to make sure their family was the best. <br><br>Aira was no exception to this rule; he could read it all over her face that she wasn’t interested in this union. “You know I did have a good thing going with the Yamada son.” A house just higher ranked then Hatsuharu’s. “I don’t know why my father decided to pick the lower end of the gene pool.” She knew exactly why Kwan picked someone else. Kairi Yamada was well bred there wasn’t any doubt of that, but Aira’s twin Xiao had taken an interest in Kairi’s younger sister. Seeing as Xiao was the quiet one Kwan saw it as a chance to marry off the quiet one first. He’d rather not have both his children in the same family.<br><br>Kwan sat there silently and looked at the family, “Well to be honest she’s a little upset. You see her brother happened to take a liking to the Yamada girl.” It was well known that the Yamada’s had a half breed daughter. Half Japanese, Half English. After Kairi’s mother past away, his father remarried to an English Fang, hoping to help the breeding out some, but all it did was made Sae picked on by the other Fangs. Xiao was her best friend, and he stood up for her when ever he could. “Aira had become very close to the Yamada’s oldest Kairi.” Which in fact Kairi was almost 25 years old and Aira just turning 17, making Kairi 8 years older then Aira, were as Sae was the same age as Xiao. “She’s still a bit bent out of shape from me denying her union with the Yamada’s.” Which in essence means her union to the Kawazoe family was second best.

				Hatsuharu decided to change tactics, to try and throw her off balance.&nbsp; Going slowly, he walked around her in a spiral, moving closer to her.&nbsp; The little comment about his lack of breeding hurt, but he wasn't about to fly into a rage over something as trivial as that - even a one-eyed Garou would've been able to see his excellent breeding, manifested in the traits that screamed SILVER FANG to any aware individual.&nbsp; Hatsuharu even chuckled.&nbsp; "You know, if that were true, I don't think I would've been able to get past your father."&nbsp; <br><br>And the expression on her face which said that she didn't want to marry him...that was true enough, for now - but he would change her mind.&nbsp; After hearing her last comment about why her father picked her, the fetish he was wearing vibrated softly, indicating she had just lied.&nbsp; <em>Ah ha...</em>&nbsp; Perhaps with this, he would be able to catch her off guard.<br><br>"Now, now, don't lie.&nbsp; It's not nice to lie to people.&nbsp; Besides, it's not like we're going to be engaged today and married tomorrow - things like this take time."&nbsp; He tilted his head sideways, doing his best to look friendly.&nbsp; "Can't we at least be friends?"<br><br>He was close, very close.&nbsp; Just a little further, and he'd be able to use his footwork to come into physical contact with her.<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>"I see..." Asa replied.&nbsp; "So, she's upset because she thinks you won't let her be with the boy she likes.&nbsp; Lin-san, you needn't worry.&nbsp; Hatsuharu's a nice boy - your daughter will like him.&nbsp; He just needs time.&nbsp; If I might suggest a longer engagement, perhaps a year or two?&nbsp; I believe that will give them they time they both need."

				It was fast, when he stopped near her Aira slapped him directly across the face and looked him dead in the eyes, “How dare you call me a liar!” She wasn’t lying to him at all, her father pulled her engagement from Kairi Yamada because her twin showed interested in Kairi’s younger sister.<br><br>As far as his foot work, Aira’s slap made sure he knew his place when it came to her personal space. She stepped back away from him then turned to walk away; she was serious when she said she wanted nothing to do with him. <br><br>Finding a bench to sit on she did. She kept her eyes on him as well. Not liking the idea of being pushed off on someone at all.<br><br>Kwan looks at them and shakes her head, “No. The head of our house wants her and my oldest married in 6 months. If not he’ll find them mates and they’ll be married instantly.” The Lin family had a reputation of having many pups. This was because of successful breeding with other families.

				As she walked away from him, Hatsuharu briefly raised a hand to where she'd slapped him, then let it drop back to his side.&nbsp; If she thought she was going to anger him with an act like that, she was VERY wrong.&nbsp; Hatsuharu had a calm, peaceful heart, one far less prone to rage than a regular Garou.<br><br>Aira had spirit, he'd give her that much.&nbsp; And when confronted with an indiscretion, she didn't roll over like many of the girls he'd met, and could've been engaged to.&nbsp; When they'd lied to him, they typically apologized profusely, not even attempting to hide it.&nbsp; That spirit would serve her well in a family of negotiators.<br><br>Still smiling, he walked over to the bench where she sat.&nbsp; A negotiation tactic popped into his head, one his uncle, another Philodox and his mentor, had taught him.<br><br>"Listen, I can see that you're upset about this.&nbsp; But, you know, it could be worse."<br><br>Now all she had to do was step into his trap.<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>Asa was shocked.&nbsp; "Six...months?&nbsp; That is not a lot of time for an engagement."&nbsp; Tilting her head, she asked, "have you made your daughter aware of this?&nbsp; That her time left as an unmarried girl is ending?&nbsp; That her choices are either my son, or some total stranger, who just MIGHT be my son?"

				Looking at Hatsuharu Aira scoffed at him, “I’m sorry but I really don’t have any interest in Asian men anymore.” She folded her arms and crossed her legs looking away from him, “Especially ones that are virgins.” Definitely having a bad ass attitude on her that needed to be broken, she never looked his way.<br><br>“You probably couldn’t even please women if you tried hard enough with a fake cock,” insulting little bitch as well. She sighed and stood up, not stepping into his trap at all. After all her twin was a tactician, she had learned a few tricks from him. <br><br>Kwan looked at the rest of her family. “It is what our elder wants. Aira and her brother are to be married off in 6 months. 3 months after that my other 2 children are to be mated. Xiao to the Yamada’s, Lin’s mate is coming from China, Aira your son, and Mei to a member of the Kitsune tribe.” Yes he had a son named Lin Lin.

				The insult stung, but Hatsuharu refused to let it get to him - all things came with experience.&nbsp; He might not be good at it now, but he would be good at it one day.&nbsp; Standing as well, he tilted his head, and looked her in the eyes.<br><br>"Now, why aren't you interested?&nbsp; A bad experience, perhaps?"<br><br>It was the next question that he hoped would provoke a reaction, if not an answer.<br><br>"Or, is it because it's a reminder?&nbsp; Perhaps of someone you hate," referring to her father, "or maybe...someone you can't have?"&nbsp; That one implied the 'Yamada boy.'<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>"I see," Asa murmured.&nbsp; Replying to Kwan, she then suggested: "Perhaps we should allow Hatsuharu to tell her this.&nbsp; And you need not worry, he's not a blunt boy.&nbsp; Being trained as a negotiator, he has a certain...diplomatic way of expressing things.&nbsp; I'm sure he will find a way to tell your daughter that, whether she likes it or not, this engagement it permanent."

				Aira shook her head at him, “No I’ve never had a bad experience with any of the men I’ve slept with.” She admits to not being a virgin. “I’ve just found something that does it more for me then an Asian guy.” Putting up her fingers giving only an inch of space between them, “Most of you are small. Sad honestly.” She smirks a bit at him, hoping to hurt his ego even more. <br><br>She walked away from him, “And no it doesn’t make me mad,” she looked at him with a grin, “cause even if I marry you, I’ll still be fucking who I want.” Which was true, she could do what ever she wanted even if they were married. “And you’ll never lay a finger on me at all.” She was confident in her self, which was for sure. <br><br>Keeping the distance from him, he wasn’t going to get what he wanted from her. She was smarter then she looked, way smarter. Her family was one of the top Silver Fang families in the area; they were renowned for their intellect and fierceness in battle. A house of tacticians, it was no wonder they were the highest ranking family.<br><br>Kwan shook his head at the family, “No need to inform her, she already knows about that. That is why she will fight it tooth and nail.” He was being honest with them at least. “She has a few bad habits I’m pretty sure your son is finding out about as we speak. Unlike your son, my daughter is very blunt and to the point.” After all if you look at it, Aira was royalty, in a round about way.

				Aira looked at him folding her arms over her chest with a bit of a humph sound, “I highly doubt you are anything more then average when it comes to your man hood. You are after all Asian and genetics doesn’t lie.” She gave him a smirk, “Though if you wish you can prove it to me.” One of her hands went to her hips as the other one moved in a circle motion. “Go on prove it. Or are you to scared?” <br><br>Kwan shook his head, “I’m not worried about her, I’m a bit worried about him. She’s not..” he cleared his throat. “Normal per se.”

				Looking at Hatsuharu, Aira gave him a look as if he was stupid. Looking down at her chest which is clearly visible in the dress she had on. Her hands moved up to them and pushed them up letting them drop. Shaking her head some, “ok you honestly must be the stupidest male I know.” She sighs some, “You can ‘clearly’ see my chest, and you can clearly see my cleavage. What are you trying to make sure I don’t have cut marks under them as if they were fake?” She made an annoyed sound. “You know, you are scared. If you weren’t you’d drop your pants and prove it. Until then I will call you Napoleon.” Moving her pinky finger back and forth indicating she thought he was only a 1” man in his pants.<br><br><br>Kwan smirks slightly, “Oh I’m sure you’ll find out eventually.” He wasn’t going to say anything on how different his children were from the normal Gaian world.

				Hatsuharu smirked.&nbsp; Boy, was she in for a surprise.&nbsp; The Kawazoes were a more traditional family, which meant that when they wore traditional clothing, they wore it <em>traditionally.</em><br><br>As in, no underwear at all.&nbsp; So, for the guys, one could just untie his pants, let them slip down for two or three seconds to let the girl get a good look at the eight-inch schlong under them, pull the pants back up, and retie them.<br><br>Which is exactly what Hatsuharu did.

				It wasn’t a shock for her at all, she after all was Japanese! She knew traditions; she had to follow them as well. <br><br>She got a look at him and just put her hands on her stomach crouching down there and began to laugh as hard as she could. “It’s so tiny!” Looking up at him, “Aww can I buy it a baby bonnet? It’s so wittle and cwute!” Continuing to laugh at Hatsuharu she pointed at him, “What do you plan on doing with that anyway? From what I know from experience, it take a long time to get to England in a row boat!” Closing her eyes tightly she fall on her rear end holding her sides. “Oh god you’re killing me. You <em>thought</em> you could do damage with that <em>thing</em>? Over confident much? Virgin!”

				Aira squeaked loudly when she was pinned down on the ground. “Get off of me.” She wiggled under him trying to get free. “Yes it’s small. The guy I plan on fucking tonight has at least a foot in his pants if not more. Way more then your teeny peeny has any day.” Her eyes narrowed, she was not happy at all, but he could see that her chest was rather large for an Asian girl. She had to be at least a C if not a D cup in her bra. Then again with that dress on, there was no room for a bra.<br><br><br>Kwan shook his head, “You already said it was permanent.” He stood up, “I’ll take my leave thank you very much.” He wasn’t going to answer the question at all. There was no way he’d tarnish the Lin name by letting a lesser house know that the main house bred mages. Not that they meant to mind you, it just happened. He’s also dealing with it with his two eldest children.

				Aira wiggled, but Hatsuharu was stronger than her, and kept her pinned down.&nbsp; Dipping his head momentarily, he whispered, "you may say that now, but one day, you won't think of anyone else but me."&nbsp; Brushing his lips against her cheek, he then grasped Aira's hand and pulled, getting them both back to their feet in a single motion.&nbsp; Smiling, he asked, "now, shall we find your father?"<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>Asa sighed.&nbsp; If Kwan didn't want to talk about it, she would need to do some digging on her own.&nbsp; "Very well.&nbsp; Now, let us go find the young ones, yes?"

				Looking at Hatsuharu she gruffed a bit. “I doubt that highly.” She squeaked when he pulled her up. She caught her balance by placing her hand on his chest. Though when she realized how close she was to him that was quickly resolved. Moving away from him she humphed again at him, “You might want to look for someone new because you’ll never touch this body in anyway pleasurable.” <br><br>Kwan nods at his family then turned to leave first. He knew his daughter and just followed the scent of her perfume. Once he got to her, Aira walked over hiding behind her father so Hatsuharu couldn’t come near her again. “Daddy he tried to rape me.” Kwan just looked at Aira then Hatsuharu. He’d give him the chance to answer before he took his throat.

				Aira looked at her father and pouted to him. Kwan moved putting his forehead to his daughter’s reading her memories. He saw everything she did, how they provoked each other, how Hatsuharu flashed Aira, how she laughed at him, and last on how he pounced on her basically telling her he’d take her eventually. Kwan sighed and looked at Hatsuharu, “I know she’s going to be a pain in your ass, I know she doesn’t want this, and I know this was pretty much sprung on you with out your knowledge, but I will tell you this, touch her with out her permission before you’re married or even after and I will have your throat.” Kwan looked at his family. “Is that the type of warrior you raise? Someone willing to force themselves on people?” <br><br>Before they could answer her looked at Aira, “And you are not completely innocent yourself young lady.” Aira moved backwards away from her father as Kwan continued, “If you keep this up I’ll move the engagement up to 3 months and you’ll be living with him faster then you think.” He reached out and grabbed her wrist pulling her so she wasn’t getting away from him. “You better start playing nice and being respectful to your new family.” <br><br>Aira sighs, “Why not give Mei to them? Why me?”<br><br>Kwan watched her, “Because it is what your grandmother wished understood.”

				Oh, so Daddy was going to be mad if someone touched her without her permission?&nbsp; Despite having the choice to reveal that Aira wasn't exactly picky about who she let touch her, in a sense, Hatsuharu chose to say nothing.&nbsp; Kaede, on the other hand, spoke, the twin fervors of youth and inexperience compelling her to.&nbsp; Kwan's implication that Aira had a hand in it only fueled her.&nbsp; "I knew it!&nbsp; My brother would never force himself on anyone of his own accord!&nbsp; If he did, it was because <em>she</em> made him!"&nbsp; She would've said more, but Misuzu covered her mouth, and restrained her, even as Kaede struggled, her words muffled.&nbsp; "Please forgive my sister, she only discovered her true bred status only a few months ago, she is not an experienced member of the tribe."&nbsp; <br><br>Asa and Yuuichi shared a quick, worried glance - if this girl was such a handful as to test Hatsuharu's patience, then maybe they needed to start looking for a way out of the engagement.

				Kwan looked at the girl who spoke, “I said she had a hand in insulting him. I didn’t say she had a hand in him forcing himself on her did I?” He looked at Hatsuharu’s parents, “I see I have to report to the main house that the Kawazoe family does not know how to raise their children. I’ll inform my mother that your children are to be removed from the match making book she has.” His mother was an infamous match maker for garou. All of her matches have produced offspring, something Silver Fangs have a hard time doing in this age.<br><br>Kwan had an ego and it was going to show, “I thought this union would be good for your status in the house, but I’m seeing it more as a step to lower the Lin family name.”

				Kwan looked at his family, “Actually it wasn’t Mother Lin who arranged this marriage so the Lin family has no reputation to lose. My mother in China wished it.” Kwan had 2 mothers? The Lin family was just like any other family. <br><br>Aira piped up, “Why can’t you just send me to China with Lin? He is my guardian after all.” She was talking about her older brother Lin Lin, well he was Lin Lin. Kwan looked at her, “You’d want to carry on the Meng last name?” <br><br>“Well I couldn’t because I’m female, but it might be better then being around someone who’d try and force themselves on me.” She gave Hatsuharu a cold stare. <br><br>The Meng last name had a very important significance to the Lin family it seems. Her brother was the one who was going to carry on the Meng line from China. Why one of the Lin’s would be changing their names was beyond anyone, but it wasn’t kept secret that Kwan had returned to the Lin’s only about 10 years prior. He had been named Kwan Meng before that.<br><br>Kwan looked at the entire family and narrowed his eyes slightly, “I careless what you have to say, I will do as I see fit when pertaining to my children. Now no longer speak with me again, I took it upon myself to do a good deed and give such a lower line a chance at greatness, but I was wrong..." He went silent after that.<br><br>While her father was talking to the family Aira took a few steps back and pulled out her cell phone pushing a button then placing it to her ear. “Lin, can you come where I am for a moment please?” By time Aira pulled the phone from her ear there was a male standing there next to her. Older, but still had the same features as his father and sister.<br><br>Lin placed his hands on his sister’s shoulders, “Isn’t that the guy you were supposed to be arranged too?” They might recognize Lin, he recently took over his mother’s recording company and is now the only male in the Meng family, and he is head of their household now. And yes from his sudden appearance in the area, he was a kin mage.<br><br>Kwan looked at both of his children then looks at Aira. Aira’s eyes moved to her father and gave him a smirk. “Lin Hatsuharu tried to rape me and then denied it in front of this entire lowly family.” She folded her arms. “He even went as far as to show me his genitals.” Her face went to the one that spoke saying Aira was at fault. “And then they said I was the one who asked for him to force himself on me.” Lin knew what happened to Aira when she was younger. It’s the reason Kentaro isn’t alive right now. “So basically they all called me a liar and a whore.”<br><br>Kwan moved and put his hand over her mouth, “Keep quiet, this is not your place to say anything at all.” <br><br>Aira moved his hand narrowing her eyes, “Excuse me?? Some guy you picked out decided he wanted to get touchy feely with me and it’s NOT my place to say anything about it.” Kwan looked at her again, “I told you to keep your mouth shut Aira.”<br><br>Shaking her head, “No I’m not keeping my mouth shut on this one.” She moved away from Lin and looked at her father, “I’m not marrying him at all. No way can you make me.”<br><br>Kwan shook his head, “You have 2 weeks until the wedding understood.” He started to walk away from Aira. Lin looked just as confused as his sister. Aira stomped her foot, “No I am not going to marry anyone I don’t want too and YOU can’t make me.” She folded her arms, “Even you got to pick Kylee when you found her. Why force this on me. I hate you so much; I hate this family so much.” She looked at Hatsuharu, “And I especially hate you, it’s your entire fault. You and your lesser family can go breed together for all I care, you’re all already retarded.”<br><br>Kwan turned sharply and looked at Aira, "You will do as I say and only as I say, for I am your father and your owner until I pass you off to someone else!" He narrowed his eyes, "child fall in line or fall out of my line!" Kwan was serious it seems. Aira stood there and folded her arms. “No,” was all she said to her father.<br><br>Everyone there heard the sound of Kwan’s hand across Aira’s face, even Lin winced. Aira’s head turned and her cheek turned bright red, “fall in line or fall out of my line, your last chance Aira Lin.” <br><br>Her face turned to her father with tears in her eyes. Her head shook, “No.” <br><br>Kwan looked furious at Aira, "I have no use for a kin who doesn't follow the words of her owner. No need for a child who doesn't listen to me!!! So from hence forth you are no longer my child, like your brother, O give you to the Meng clan. I wish nothing to do with you; your fate lies with them and only them. Now leave my presence now!"<br><br>Aira sighs and put her head down, she loved her father and he knew it, but in order to protect herself she was disowned. She looks at her brother who was walking over to her as they spoke. Placing his arms around Aira, Lin gave the Kawazoe family a death gaze. Lin would speak up saying flatly, "that means she is my problem and I have yet to decide what to do with my sister. If you are interested communicate with us. I will weigh my options and get back to you when the time is fitting." he would then take his sister hand and walk her out taking her home.<br><br>Kwan watched his children walk out of the area. He looked back at the family not saying anything then silently followed his children keeping his distance from his disowned children.<br><br>(Colabed with TaoTsu to get his PC's reactions right.)

				The whole family watched them go, saying nothing.&nbsp; The whole affair had injured more than a few egos, and it was going to take some major effort on both sides if the arrangement was to proceed forward.&nbsp; Once they had left, Asa spoke.<br><br>"Well, perhaps this is for the best.&nbsp; A girl willing to disobey her father, and accuse one of our own or rape would not have made a good addition to our household."&nbsp; She turned to Hatsuharu.&nbsp; "Go rest, son.&nbsp; It's been a trying day, I know."&nbsp; The addressed nodded.&nbsp; "Thank you, mother."&nbsp; Leaving the rest of the family, Hatsuharu headed to his room.&nbsp; Asa and Yuuichi, along with Misuzu, went to go strategize, find a way to extract an apology from the Lins and from Aira.&nbsp; Kaede stood still for a second, and then followed Hatusharu.&nbsp; Arriving at his room, she knocked.<br><br>"Brother?&nbsp; Can I come in?"<br><br>"Of course."<br><br>Sliding the door open, she stepped inside and closed it.&nbsp; "I'm sorry for speaking out like that, brother, it's just that she was accusing you of something you'd never do, and I thought that-"<br><br>"Kaede."<br><br>"Yes?"<br><br>Turning to look at his younger sister's worried face, he spoke.&nbsp; "Kaede, I don't need you to fight my battles for me, okay?&nbsp; You just became a Garou not even six months ago.&nbsp; Right now, you just need to take care of yourself, and worry about your training, alright?"<br><br>"But, you weren't saying anything, and she was questioning the reputation of our family."<br><br>"I said nothing, because by saying nothing, I wasn't tying myself to an opinion I couldn't reverse.&nbsp; And her accusation may have been baseless, but she probably made it because this was not a situation she wanted.&nbsp; She just said it to try and get out of the arrangement."<br><br>"But, it looks like getting out of the arrangement was what was best for everyone!&nbsp; She disobeyed a direct order from the head of her family!&nbsp; We can't have someone like that in our family!"<br><br>"True, but who has gained the most out of this whole situation?&nbsp; The reputation of our family is now in question; the Meng family has gained themselves a willful girl prone to rebellion; the Kwan family may lose some reputation over this," while they were an influential family, the Lins were as susceptible to scandal as everyone else, maybe even more so, since they were a big name in the house.&nbsp; And Hatsuharu knew that for families like that, a single scandal was like throwing a stone into a pond - it had aftereffects.&nbsp; "It seems the only one to truly benefit was the girl, who now may be able to get out of the arrangement."<br><br>"I see...I apologize for my words, brother."<br><br>Hatsuharu shook his head.&nbsp; "Apology accepted.&nbsp; And I don't blame you - much.&nbsp; You're young, and you thought what you were doing was right.&nbsp; You'll learn."<br><br>With that, Kaede left.&nbsp; A few minutes after that, Hatsuharu left his own room, and sat on the nearby veranda.&nbsp; He noticed his oldest older sister, Sanae, approaching.&nbsp; "Hey, I heard what happened in the courtyard.&nbsp; You okay?"<br><br>"I will be - the question is will our family?&nbsp; The Lins have a lot of influence."<br><br>"Maybe so, but if they make a big fuss over this, their rivals might take the chance to act."<br><br>His brow furrowed.<br><br>"What do you mean?"<br><br>"Well," Sanae began, "I don't expect you to understand, being just a beginner and all, but something like this.&nbsp; The Lins could accuse the family of improperly raising its children, right?&nbsp; Well, the clans rival to the Lins could come here, arrange a few marriages, and say that, hey, <em>they've</em> never had any problems with the Kawazoes, their children are well-behaved.&nbsp; Then, people would ask, well then, why did the Lins make such an accusation?&nbsp; That would make their family look bad, like they're too good for even others of their own tribe.&nbsp; And while we may hold ourselves above the rest of the Nation, I don't think other Fangs are going to take kindly to the idea that there's a family like that out there."<br><br>He nodded, "I see what you're saying.&nbsp; Still, Kwan's made threats..."<br><br>"Kwan's not the head of the house - another Fang is.&nbsp; And if the family can get the house head on our side, then he can put Kwan back in his place."<br><br>"Well, I just hope all this works out somehow."<br><br>"Haru, you don't need to worry!&nbsp; There are plenty of lesser families out there with cute little brides who'd want you!&nbsp; Speaking of," a sly smile crossed her face, "what was she like?"<br><br>Hatsuharu didn't even hesitate.&nbsp; "Willful, rebellious, manipulative.&nbsp; She's not been raised properly - she cares only about what she wants, and not about the grander scheme of things.&nbsp; Maybe there's room for that in the Children of Gaia, or the Silent Striders, but she was born a Fang.&nbsp; What she wants is a luxury few Fangs can afford.&nbsp; If she realized this, though, and accepted it...I think she'd make a great member of any family."<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>Having strategized for a couple of hours, the Kawazoes waited a week to contact both the Lin house head, and the Meng house head.&nbsp; In their messages, they did the following.&nbsp; <br><br>First, they apologized for the unfortunate incident that occurred in the initial meeting - words were spoken hastily, and not in clear thought.&nbsp; <br><br>Second, they were still willing to look at Aira as a marriage candidate.&nbsp; <br><br>Third, if they were to take the idea under consideration again, however, she would have to apologize for her accusation in the initial meeting.&nbsp; The Kawazoes made it very clear that Aira, and ONLY Aira, was to apologize - no apology was necessary from either the Lins or the Mengs, but they would not move forward without an apology from her.&nbsp; <br><br>Fourth, that Kwan was out of line when he criticized the Kawazoes for how they raised their children, when he himself said that he would do as he saw fit regarding his children, and the Kawazoes had no place to question his authority regarding his family.&nbsp; If they had no authority to question Kwan's ways, then neither did Kwan have the authority to question their ways.&nbsp; Now, no apology from Kwan was necessary, but such an apology would be accepted, if it was offered.<br><br>Finally, that they were eagerly waiting to hear the replies from their esteemed House comrades.<br><br>Once the messages were sent, the Kawazoes prepared another set of messages - these were to be held, though, until they heard from the Mengs and the Lins.&nbsp; These messages were to be sent to the rival clans of the Lins, and offered an opportunity, a chance to embarrass the Lins, and cause a scandal.&nbsp; Hopefully, cooler heads than Kwan's would prevail, and these very damaging messages would not have to be sent.

There was a messenger that came back to the house informing them that they will be visited by both parties in 2 days time.<br><br>The day of the meeting arrived and there was indeed a knock on the door of the Kawazoe family.<br><br>When the door was open both Lin and Demon stood there. Demon didn’t look a day over 23 and he was an elder? Lin who they had already met smiled at them. Demon had a flat mean look on his face as if he pissed off at something. <br><br>Demon looked at them, “You requested my self and my nephew to come and speak with you?” Now they know why the Lin family is so high on the list of Fangs. Demon was related to the Lin’s by blood, he was the eldest matchmaker’s nephew. Even if Lin wasn’t Demon’s real nephew, he still considered him that. He was actually a second cousin to Demon. All the kids in the family called Demon uncle.<br><br>There was no mistaking that the Lin and Sun family were highly bred Fangs. Their members were all highly attractive; Men and Women both. (OOC: Lin on the Left &amp; Demon on the Right)
