Chapter 99: 1 2 3 and it begins

"SHIFFUUUUUUUUUUU," Aqua screamed her lungs out looking at the person who was standing in front of her. "SHIFUUUUUUU,"

"What? What is it? What happened? Is everything alright?" Shifu panicked and ran towards Aqua, wondering. He was taking a nap. 

"What the heck is going on?" She asked her master looking at the guy who stood smiling at her, with his eyes full if mischief. 

"Oh him, I thought something happened?" Shifu said feeling relieved. 

"Kick him out of here," she ordered shifu.

"What?" Shifu asked her.

"What is wrong with you?" The guy asked her. 

"You, you leave now," Aqua said fuming with anger. 

"Why would I? You leave," he said back. Shifu watched the two bickering at each other and he got fed up.

"Shut it," he said out loud. But they did not mind him, arguing with each other. "I said shut up," he shouted loud. Aqua jumped and stopped her conversation with her enemy. "I am the master here, who gave you permission to come to my place and fight at each other?"

Aqua looked away. 

"I think we should stop," the man whispered in Aqua's ear and she looked at him with her bloodshot eyes. 

"Why? Do I have to release special instructions for you to keep your mouth close here Huo?" Shifu raised his voice again. 

"Pardon me shifu," Huo said and bowed. 

"You two, forget who you are. Nobody is a princess or a king here. You are nothing but two cultivation level zero students in my school under training. You get it ?" 

"Yes master," Aqua and Huo said at the same voice. 

"Forget all the worldly, pleasure, surrender your weapons, and be a commoner. Your identity won't be the same anymore. Walk down to the village on the foothills and find everything you will need to live with, here, find clothes and ingredients for your meal, do not make use of your power. Seal them," he instructed the two. Aqua and Huo stood there waiting for more.  "What?" 

"What?" Huo asked back.

"Leave," Shifu said. 

"Wait now?" Huo asked. He was pretending to be a little stupid. Aqua took off before shifu screamed at them.

"No next season," Shifu rolled his eyes and walked back to his hut. "Reincarnation brought back only the person leaving the brain behind," he said and disappeared. 

Huo walked slowly behind Aqua. She looked upset about seeing him. He was not hoping for that. He cut two small branches of a tree and shaped the end. To use for trekking down the hill and to use a weapon since they had surrendered their swords already. He handed one to her, but she refused them. 

Aqua kept walking forward and slipped suddenly. She sat down and was embarrassed. The slopes were getting dangerous. She bruised her palms. "Damn it," she muttered under her breath. 

Huo controlled his laughter even though he worried ar first. And he handed the stick again. She grabbed them from him and used it well for the further journey. Hours passed. Aqua saw all kinds of plants as insects while the passed through several woods. She couldn't imagine climbing back up the mountains, walking all the way up. It frustrated her. Miles and miles of journey. She was sure that they wouldn't complete the task in a day. They both were tired but not saying it out to keep their pride. But in the end Huo gave in. 

"Am tried, I can't anymore, " he said. They had almost reached the foothills. "Let's rest for sometime, "

"Okay," she said since she has been waiting for the moment for long. 

Aqua sat on top of a tiny rock and looked around her. It was beginning to get dark.  "How are you?" He asked her. She did not care to reply. "Am asking you," 

"Not fine can't you see?" She said not even caring to look at his face. 

"Why?" He asked her.

"As if you don't know," 

"No I don't," he said.

"You, you're the reason am not good today," she said arrogantly. Huo opened his mouth but shut them soon. He took a deep breath and smiled at her. 

"Okay then you will never be happy from today on, let it be," he said and got up. The wind was getting colder and colder. He felt glad to have chosen to wear one of the amazingly handcrafted handful with fur. But Aqua was only wearing a simple travelling outfit that had neither coats nor furs. He could see her skin turning pink as the wind touched her. He was sure that she wouldn't accept them. She sat still, wrapping her arms around her. 'Shifu, this is too much,' she said inside her head. Suddenly she felt something falling over her shoulders. She lifted her head to see him fastening his cloak over her shoulders. It felt warm instantly and she liked it. But she got up and scowled at him. 

"We better leave before the night falls," he said rubbing his hands together. The mist began to cover their paths but luckily on time they stepped out of the woods. Aqua was relieved. The sky turned purple from orange after the sunset. They walked slowly and found houses on their way and few settlers. 

"Hey," Aqua walked toward an old lady who was sitting in front of her bamboo house. 

"Yes my dear," the old lady answered back.

"Do we have any inns or motels around ti spend the night, am on business here," 

"You have come a little late my dear, the rooms must have been booked already, and yes yes there are inns available," she said looking at Huo weirdly. "Who is this man?" She asked in between. 

"Am her husband, " Huo joked trying to tease Aqua. 

"What?" Aqua said and looked at him. He winked at her and laughed. 

"Young couples, sure have fire between you, enjoy the night my dears, walk a mile and you will come across the inn on the right side of the path. It is our village town, do walk a little further," old lady advised them and wished them luck.

"Thank you so much aunt," Aqua thanked the lady and left the place walking forward. 

"You enjoyed the title I said  to the grandma I guess, " he teased again trying to get her talk to him, to break the silence. 

"Husband my foot," she said feeling disgusted. 

"You did not deny it," he said. 

"Because getting to know about the inn was important than taking part in your child's play," she made her point clear.

"To spend the night with me, yes I get it, that's more important, " he counter attacked her raising his brows, waiting for her reaction. But instead she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and continued walking forward, not caring to reply him understanding his intentions well. 

It was night already by the time they reach the town. Like the lady said, there was an in on the right side of the path, first small building named as 'forever yours'. The name sounded tacky and cheesy. 

"What a name! Wow!" Huo said and walked in. Aqua rolled her eyes and knocked the door. 'Why would an inn keep the doors closed,' She wondered. 

When knocked on the door, a man opened them showed the sign board that they are closed. 

"Hey, am travelling with a lady, we really need the room for a night here," Huo made the request. 

"We are full sir, please leave," the man said. 'He must be lying,' huo thought. 'Surely there is nobody to stay much here, it is not even a popular village that gets traders,' he tried calculating the possibilities, not knowing the fact that the place is more like a brothel for travellers and that there is another inn but on the other end of the town. The old lady was ignorant about the fact. 

Huo kept irritating the inn owner holding on to the door tightly, keeping then open. A lady dressed up and with a lot of make up on her face appeared in front of Huo.

"New customer?" She asked the owner. Aqua looked at Huo who immediately looked at her. She raised her brows asking him what to do. And he shrugged conveying her the message how they do not have any other option. 

"Just tonight," Huo said. "Do us a favour please," he kindly kept requesting the owner. 

"They look like a family, it is fine, just a night, we won't lose anything, give them that small room,"  the lady suggested and walked into the place.

"Fine," the man said and opened both the doors, welcoming Aqua and Huo inside the inn. It looked spacious and noticed lots of door in the hall and staircase that goes upstairs. The bamboo work looked elegant and the antique products kept as a part of decoration. Aqua shook her head as she got in. She couldn't believe people had the guts to run a brothel in heaven. It is punishable offense and they people seemed to have taken the law lightly. She couldn't let the matter slip and kept thinking about a way to write to her father. But worried that due to the history of the people in the inn the punishment might even extend upto execution. The lady in color pink and yellow hanfu and rose lips came back again carrying a tray full of food. 

"Settle down, and have the dinner," she said. Huo looked at Aqua who sat down instantly. He understood that she is hungry. The beef noodles and vegetable soup tasted good for the hunger. The lady also poured them some wine and blew a kiss to Huo with her hand, accidentally hitting her chest on his shoulders while leaning down serving wine. He moved away quickly and looked at Aqua to show that it is not his mistake. Aqua wanted to laugh out loud but controlled her emotions. Aqua finished her food quickly and wiped her mouth with the towel, standing up. Huo did not feel satisfactory and stopped eating in the middle completing his drink instead. Aqua poured him her drink also in his glass and watched  him finish it for her. The man came towards them and akse them to sign the registry. Aqua and Huo have a fake signature with wiring names and asked the direction for the rooms.

"Climb upstairs, there's one room in the end of the hallway, to the left side. 

"One room?" Huo and Aqua asked in chorus. 

"Yes,"

"We need two," Aqua demanded. 

"Nonsense, no, then get out," the man spoke very rudely. 

"Hey hey relax, see we are travelling together but we are not," Huo paused looking Aqua.

"Married?" The lady asked. "That's fine. Why don't you come spend the night in my room, an free tonight," she said blushing. 

"Thank you, " Aqua said and took the stair with Huo behind her.

"No thank you, we will adjust in one room," Huo said and left with her. 

"The night is tender, show her your best, she looks like a virgin, " the lady wished Huo. Aqua got worked up listening to all the bullshit. She returned back but Huo pushed her to walk forward.  They walked through the tiny hall way and heard people making noises during their climax. And one room, the door was even left open. The man on top of the lady seemed to be having the best time of his life. Aqua covered her eyes instantly and Huo helped her cover her ears. They both felt awkward and left with no option to avoid spending a cold night on the road side, freezing to death since both are not allowed to use the powers. Huo opened the door to their room and found how cramped it was. A shelf on the wall and bed folded and kept on the floor below it. Room had hardly three arm distance from one wall to another. And it also had a window that opened to the main road. 

Aqua took a deep breath and opened the window letting the wind in to avoid suffocation.
