Second meeting, fresh scars

It was another official party his business was going well and there they go, silly party for Sanzo-sama the president director of Sanzo Corp. stupid. Though as the main star, Sanzo had to keep up with this. He was there in the party, and then the guy who was his brother came to him saying the models aren't feeling good. Who cares about models? Sanzo was not eh one inviting those models after all, he did not care about them.

The guy asked for a room, he got one. Sanzo was there just because he needed to be 'polite' and escorted his 'guests' to the room. The guy, asked him for food. Did he looked like a waiter to this scar face man? Sanzo looked at those scars, eh noticed it. This was the man he marked. The one who tried to attack him, long ago, Sanzo was surprised and he accidentally laid his claws on this guy.

,' Was your vision that bad so I looked like a butler to you?"

Sanzo called his servant, a boy. He told the boy to serve this man and get whatever he wanted. And since this was a party for his company's success, this man did not need to pay. Then, Sanzo was off to his office room. He still got several documents to be checked tonight so he 'escaped' the stupid party.

However, as he returned to his office and started to work on documents, pile of papers, he heard a knock on the door and then the servant opened the door. It was the guy again. Why would he come to this office then? Got some business to do with Sanzo? Did not look like it. Sanzo could not think that he would have business with this kind of man, model, he has no interest in modeling. He glanced to the guy a bit, then continue working on his papers.

,' anything I can help you with?"

The model guy, his brother, asked a simple thing. For his two models to be able to take photos with the han dynasty arts. He was willing to pay. And then after the offer, the man left. Sanzo needed to finish his job first , he still got lots to do. When he was done working. He left for the garden he used to spend time in. he found the garden, dirty with papers and inks!!!

The garden he worked so hard on… the black inks were all over the grass under the sakura tree!! What kind of guy would destroy such beauty! Sanzo picked up the paper and opened it, his face. He picked another, the same picture, his face, again.

,' as much as you like drawing, try not to harm the beautiful living art I put my heart into. Even the grass and flowers cried out to me when your ink, and shoes hurt them. I don't know you could crush such beauty."

Sanzo felt pity for the tiny grass and tiny flowers on the ground which had been crushed. There was a reason why he put a gazebo in this garden, why he put stepping stones in this place. So that he shall not ruin the lovely art of nature he worked so hard. Sanzo softly looked at the ground, he used his enlightenment power to 'heal' the flowers and grass. Made them all shining again. He starred at the man, his brother. He can't believe this ignorant guy was his brother.

,' if you bother to see the stepping stones and the gazebo I build here, perhaps, my poor flowers did not need to get hurt. They're merely fragile piece of art. or perhaps to you, they're just dead beings."

Sanzo gave the sign to the man to get out from the grassy ground and to the stepping stone instead. Then, they went to the gazebo. Visibly, Sanzo noticed that this man, was good in seducing people. Perhaps he was a host, or a model who also a whore at night.

,' so why drawing my face? Is it fun to draw a grumpy face?"

First thing, the guy claimed that he was the one marked by sanzo, that one is correct, and two, when his secretary came, he claimed that sanzo's sales on arts were going to the abyss. The competitor used whores to boost their sales in arts. Sanzo sighed and he thought about it. Arts, is not his one and only business, and of course, not his main interest as well.

He had other business, this little, tiny art business. He did not really care about it. If it could not provide more profit, then he only need to sell the company to another person who want to buy it. It was that simple. The butler spoke as if this man was the ' savior' to sanzo's arts company. As if he should use his whores to boost sales if he did not want his art business to burn. Funny. Though before he state any comments, he dismissed the secretary.

,' apparently my competitor used whore models and that means… I also need to use one myself?"

Life of an entertainer. Be it actor, be it models, they always have their own dark secret behind. Some models get to the top by selling their bodies to the company director, and so did other actors, actresses. But then, rather than using the model whores in his own name, which will put him to shame, he got another idea. Better one.

,' I marked you, it was merely accident. You sneak behind me as if about to kill me so I defend myself. And accidentally, scratched your face."

Sanzo took his time, he ordered the butler to bring him some tea, sakura sencha. And he did. Ten minutes and the tea came to him. He sat on the tea table seat and invited faolen too. He poured some sakura tea for him and then for sanzo himself. He inhale the scent, sweet sakura scent. Then he took a sip of it, nice taste. Then he back to the point.

,' what if this little art company is yours. I'll give it to you. I'm not really into art business though I like arts, putting them in commercial, I'm not really interested. moreover, putting model whores under my name? bad joke. So, since you are my brother after all, consider the offer. If you take it, use as many whores as you wish to bring the company to the top, and of course, the profit, is 70 - 30. I build this company, you work on it. So give me 30 % of your profit, fair enough?"

He admitted to be the one that marked me after saying something disrespectful about my models. They were no whores. My models were hard workers. They only slept together since they are a couple after all. Though then the man proposed to let me have the art department or company though he said something that made me stand up. I had not heard wrong. He did claim that I was his brother. This man and I were related? Why had I never known about this? A pure blooded yokaï was my elder brother? I glared at him and he seemed to notice what had just happened.

"This can't be! You...you marked me! I...wanted to give myself to you...but you're my...brother?! Why was I never notified of this?"

I put my hand on my mouth in shock. I have a brother and I promised to give myself to him since he dared mark me. Not only that, but he ruined my career as a model. My face was my biggest tool and now it was scarred. I looked away. I walked towards the edge of the gazebo and stared at the falling blossoms. This man was my brother and he marked me.
It took me some time before I could get over this feeling of shock. I couldn't stop thinking that he marked me. I finally took in a deep breath and turned to look at the man.

"Forgive my lack of manners. If you truly are my Brother then I will show greater respect for you. Furthermore, I will gladly accept your generous offer. However, please know that the models under my charge are not whores. They will work hard to get to the top. Besides they are a couple, and for your information, I am still a virgin and I guess I will always be one considering that the one I was going to give myself too is my brother. Now if you'll please show me this art company?"

A shock that was nothing to Sanzo, he knew this fact for long already. This man made a big fuss over this, which was not necessary. Not at all. For Sanzo, blood, was not thicker than water. Blood, does not make someone your family. It was not decided that way. From what he learned from the past, blood meant nothing. He let the guy spoke and when he was done talking, Sanzo sighed, stood up, and gave a sign to the man to follow him.

They walked to a big room, indoors, it was sanzo's office. He took a slim file about his art company. He gave it to Faolen and said to him bluntly.

,' this is the short profile for your new, art company. You can study them. Just the main point about the whole company."

Then, Sanzo called a secretary. This one guy was a tall guy, and he was good looking too. Mostly, Faolen's type of man. Sanzo then introduced the man to faolen.

,' this man, Takuya. He will be your secretary. He will do as you commanded him and he will help you if you get some trouble understand the files. And you, Takuya, do as this man told you to. "

Then, Sanzo led both guys to another room, it was just next to his own office. It was a big room. This would be faolen's office from now on.

,' this is your office. The rest, takuya will help you."

He was doing his job for the day and then he went off to bed. The next morning, he went to check his brother's doing and his work. So, Sanzo came into Faolen's office and then he saw something odd. The tape recording and the office smelled very odd, it smelled bad. When takuya walked in, Sanzo ignored him and he walked to Faolen's desk. He noticed his brother was hiding under it. And so, he pulled him out and sat him on the couch.

Sanzo grabbed the tape and watch it all. So takuya was the traitor then. Good. Now he could dispose him fast. Sanzo had cold glare in his eyes and he made the blade appeared in his hands. He slay the man, takuya where he stood. He crushed the tape and looked at Faolen.

,' I guess you can't defend yourself against yokai. Are you all right brother? Can you heal yourself? Perhaps I should call doctor."

Sanzo might need to assign another person. Though for now, he was still thinking over it. Maybe, Faolen had a friend that he likes to be his secretary? That would do it. Sanzo would be at peace and faolen would be at peace as well. He took off his coat and placed it around faolen's naked body. He sat on the table while faolen on the chair.

,' I guess.. if you have friend you trust to work with you, I'm all ears. So? Have any?"

At that time, Sanzo called the doctor. The woman came and she treated Faolen's wounds and then gone after got the payment. Sanzo, still waiting for his brother's answer about his new servant.

So, after the nurse and doctor do their job, they left, sanzo paid them. Then, Faolen needed help to stand up. He said nobody he could trust. And he said that he was a 'magnet to rapist' which made sanzo almost laughed his lungs out! Seriously… 'rapist magnet", what a joke that was, bad joke. So his brother was a 'rapist magnet' in reality. He said sorry that he could not keep his promise to Sanzo. Actually, sanzo already forgot what kind of promise…really.. did this boy promised him anything? Well.. besides his virginity, there's nothing else.

He called the butler to bring them some sakura tea and sanzo sat on the couch, face to face with Faolen. He sat there and he sighed. If this man was to be like this, then he would never be able to help sanzo with the company. So, he thought of something. He stood up, walked to Faolen. Caressed his brother's face gently and the scar was gone, all gone without a trace.

,' you're not filthy unless you said you are. Brother. And since I don't see any potential of you ruling this small company, why don’t; you go back to modeling? I heard you're so good at it, well, you can do it again now."

His view was, why dwell and struggle in something that Faolen was not good at and threw away his skill? He as skill for modeling and so he shall use it well. And by helping Sanzo, he only wasted his gift for nothing, that would be bad.

,' and perhaps… brother, since you state yourself being a magnet for rapists, I guess my eagle could be your guard. He's smarter than einstein, his name, is falcon."

Sanzo called his eagle, which was of course, no simple eagle, it was a yokai, demonic eagle. He gave it to Faolen and the bird seemed to love his brother already. He smirked then.

,' he likes you. Good. If you got any trouble, you know where to find me. Little faolen."

It was a surprise when his fingers touched my scar and then the next second, there was nothing there. I didn't know what to think or how to react. Firstly, this scar was a secret promise between Sanzo and I but on the second hand, I could go back to modeling. My wolf moved around so that I could get even closer to Sanzo though he called for an eagle. The name was Falcon. I smiled at the bird and the bird was happily perched on my shoulder.

"Brother, if you want me to model, I will. However, I will model for you. And I can run this art company without a secretary."

The eagle then went on the ground and turned into a very handsome man with large wings. He bowed very deeply to Sanzo. His voice was deep and made me hold onto my wolf tighter.

"Master Sanzo, I believe I may be of further assistance. Faolen-Sama needs a bodyguard and a secretary. I believe I can play both roles without a problem. Does this satisfy Sanzo-Sama's expectations for me?"

I blushed and hid more with Sanzo's jacket. This man was surprisingly attractive, but my body and heart already belonged to my brother. He was also very devoted to my brother. It made me want to pat his head and tell him to relax, but he wasn't my servant, he belonged to Sanzo. The door then opened and Akamaru and Kagerou walked in. Akamaru was visibly acting like a shield for Kagerou. He stared at me, the eagle and then my brother.

"What the hell is going on here?"

I rose my hand and showed him that I was fine.

"I'm alright Akamaru. The man that harmed me has already been dealt with. Boys, this is Sanzo, my older brother."

And so, his demonic eagle turned into his normal self. A big handsome guy, very attractive man that would make any women moaned just seeing his muscles and abs. of course he was naked at top and only wearing his long pants. Sanzo clearly saw that Faolen liked this big guy a lot. Good then. Though then two models went it and they were Folen's . sanzo told them to go outside and wait there for their boss to come prepared. This office was not place for gathering.

,' Falcon, you shall serve faloen form now on. Do whatever he wanted you do and stay close to him like his own shadow. And Falcon… I guess my brother would like you to be…. more, than just a secretary."

Sanzo looked into his eagle's eyes. This man, he was a pure eagle. Angelic man. And Faolen had eyes on him. Perhaps sanzo could.. stir a little fire between them? His brother might like that. Though first, he must made things clear.. this.. Faolen.. he kept saying that he would do what sanzo asked him to. This man, his brother, started to act more like a slave and less of a brother. Sanzo looked with sharp gaze on faolen.

,' and you, Faolen. Stop with bullshit about you modeling for me or do anything I told you to. Are you my brother or my slave? Coz you're acting more like slave and less of a brother. Perhaps you wish to be treated like a slave?"

Sanzo turned around, commanded the eagle falcon to stay by faolen's side day, night, all the time. And then he left for work. He ride a plane to another country, staying there for one full week for the meeting, and business things. During all that time Faolen was being guarded and taken care of by falcon. knowing that what sanzo said might hurt folen, Falcon came closer to him and bowed.

,' Faolen-sama.. lord Sanzo could be a bit harsh with his words, but he never want to have you act like slave"

One day, Falcon and Faolen were in the garden, and falcon was in his male form. All naked and soaking in the pond. He enjoyed the cold water on his tanned skin and long wavy golden hair. But he noticed his master starring at him. He bowed deeply to Faolen.

,' Faolen sama…. May I ask why you've been starring at me? Did I do something wrong? perhaps i should help Faolen -sama wash too?"

Brother didn't understand at all what I was trying to tell him. I just wanted to be close to him, and not work too far from him, but he took it as I wanted to be a slave. He then left for a weekly business trip and I was alone with the eagle.
That day I found him taking a bath in the pond. He was really attractive, but would I actually be happy with him? No, he acted this way only because brother had ordered him too. When he proposed to wash me, I slowly too off my clothes and walked in the pond. I could see desire in the man's eyes, but it made me uncomfortable. I let him wash me, but when he started kissing my neck, I moved away from him. He seemed confused.

"You...are very handsome...but...I made a promise ti give myself to the man who marked me. Even though the marks are gone, the promise still stands. Besides, we all know that you don't really feel anything for me, it's just because Brother ordered you too. I...I think I love him."

I got out of the pond and dressed myself back up. That's when I saw Sanzo standing not too far away. My face lit up and I ran to him. I didn't hesitate to wrap my arms around his neck and kiss his lips gently. I didn't notice what I had done at all. I was just that happy to see him.

"Welcome home Brother! I'm so happy to see you! How was your trip? Did you bring me back anything?"

I stayed in his arms for a while. That's before I heard him sigh. I then lowered my head and backed away. I apologized and then, before the tears of rejection fell, I ran off to my office. I was stupid. He wouldn't have missed me. I just wiped away my tears and sighed. I laugh at myself and then just got to work again.

He took a business trip and he went to overseas for a while. After his work was all done, he went back home and the first man who greeted him was Faolen. Somehow, he got overjoyed and kissed Sanzo which surprised him a bit. He did not expect Faolen to kiss him like that. Though he did not hate it. It was all right. But then Faolen ran away in fear. This man could be confusing sometimes. Perhaps he's in his 'unstable' hormone' state?

Firstly, Sanzo went to his own room to bathe, changed into more comfortable clothes and he had his meal first. Then, he took a small box from his luggage and he walked to Faolen's room. He knocked the door lightly, when it was opened, he gave that small black box to Faolen.

,' that was for you, I bought it from a jewelry store in Paris, now come, walk with me."

Sanzo knew that Faolen had been left alone with the eagle he has interest in. and obviously, they were interested in each other, it did not take a fool to see that. It was all over faolen's face. Every time he saw that eagle, he would blush and did not dare to look at the eagle's eyes. How cute. And so, as they walked around the garden, sanzo asked his brother.

,' so how's life so far hmm? Falcon did good on you? I know you two like each other. You're single, and you're obviously, interested in Falcon. Don't be shy brother. He's a gentle man. He would not harm you. "

He saw his brother's face getting all red, that was something to see. Though then, Sanzo sat on the wooden chair under a big tree inside a small gazebo. The big tree, was over the gazebo's top. He sat with Faolen there and looked at the horizon.

,' why don't you try your present? Don't like it?"

His brother said that he did not fell in love with the eagle. Well. That was a surprise. Though Faolen admit that he was attracted to Falcon. Well, who wouldn't? be it boys or girls, would be head over heels for him, he's a hot guy. Though this man, faolen did not fall for this man . though then, Sanzo found himself behind Faolen who was naked before Falcon.

Since Sanzo saw tears in his brother's eyes, he decided to took the kimono and wrapped it around Faolen's body and then, he brought his brother to his bedroom. He sat with faolen there, on the bed, Sanzo caressed his brother's face softly and he spoke to him.

,' I'm sorry if i…misunderstand you. But…for me to embrace you like a lover, perhaps, we could go slow on that? I wasn't used to love anyone."

He never loved anyone and never bother to try. So for Faolen, his brother, he would try for it. He would go slow and learn how to do it. Sanzo was a great business man and a great fighter but he's a bit cold when it came to relationship. He never had one, never got the time for romance in his life. But now his brother wanted him, he was a beauty though Sanzo would need to go slow.

,' is that all right? I never had time for romance so… I might be.. a bit.. cold and clueless about this…delicate..relationship…"

Things got more and more 'delicate' with his brother right now. He just accept to act as lovers for Faolen. Sanzo sighed to himself. He'd better prepare for everything now. He barely involved in any relationship. He was a cold man to begin with and he was not sure if he's the right person for Faolen. After all, they're brothers, and some people thought that it was forbidden between brothers. Though still, Sanzo and Faolen was not really… in the same blood.

They share their night together with kissing and they slept together. This felt okay for Sanzo. This felt natural and good. In the morning they woke up and prepared to work again. Sanzo commanded falcon to disappear, and he disappear into thin air just like sanzo ordered him to. Now that he was Faolen's lover, he did not see the need of Falcon anymore.

So, they walked to their office and sanzo had meeting with the staffs and managers today about the marketing strategy and the advertisement of their product. It was an office suit for middle class buyers. Sanzo and faolen started the meeting with the staffs and they discussed about the model for the advertisement.

,' we would need someone less flashy for this kind of thing…this suit was cheap but the quality was good. It's very suitable for common workers…now… anyone go candidates for this?"

Faolen suggested both Akamaru and Kagerou for the model, but Sanzo chuckled lightly as he smiled. Though the rest of the staff, was all silent since they did not know what to say.

,' in this advertisement, the model would get all dirty.. got splashed by coffee on his clothes, cars would go pass him and splash some dirty puddle of water to his clothes, I don't think your high class model would lower themselves for that, Faolen. Anyone else got suggestion? Perhaps you have a more.. average model.. faolen? My staffs seemed to be all silent like dead."

When he says ' average looking model' he meant it. He was not looking for a high class model or a super model for this suit. He was only looking for a simple looking guy who was willing to do the advertisement. But then faolen stepped out and he volunteered. Sanzo was about to stop him. This kind of advertisement was not for him. It was not suitable. Because Faolen made the clothes looked expensive and luxury. When the shooting started, Sanzo covered his face all day long and sighed. Why would Faolen smiled when he was splashed by hot coffee? And who says it MUST be hot?? Sanzo needed to seek who sets the whole thing like this. He would fire that manager right away, this was the worst advertisement ever.

He kept faolen close to him. He was on a meeting once more. He was pissed off. Nobody listen to him and do as he says, nobody gets the idea of this simple yet high quality suits that would be affordable by low class worker… nobody. Everyone was damn idiots and Sanzo was all angry. He glared at the manager.

,' congratulations you just waste our money on a very lousy advertisement!! How many times do I have to tell you?? This clothes is for middle to low class worker!!! Faolen made this clothes look all luxury this is wrong!! We are not publishing about luxury clothes!! And who put hot coffee on the set??? Who says it MUST be hot??? You hurt Faolen for nothing but piece a shit!!! You're fired, get lost!!!"

Everyone was shocked with sanzo's anger. He quickly call for an average guy, a comedian. When the comedian guy arrived, Sanzo told him what to do. That he should be shocked or whine when his clothes were splashed by pulled of water and coffee. This would be like real life advertisement. The shooting was done, the guy acted good and he looked like a common people. Like workers from middle to low class. This was good. Then, they published the advertisement and they boost the selling , right where they wanted it. Middle to low class buyer. The stock was sold out within three months and this was satisfactory. Sanzo looked at Faolen who sat near him.

.' brother, you should learn more about modeling and advertising. It's not always about pretty face and perfect body all the time. Next time, we will produce clothes for people who were overweight. I could see that lately those people could hardly find anything suits them. And to represents our product, we will surely use an overweight model for this. Understand?"
