Star Crossed In Time

I instantly regret making the move... what if he tries to hurt the old man because of me? "Look, I needed a place to crash... got a problem with it?" I say with irritation. Ren nearly spits blood at the way this brat keeps talking to his Master!

Bai Lei frowns a little as he says "The way you speak is... odd. Where are you from?" My tough man act slightly falters as I quickly say "Far... I'm from far away." Bai Lei takes a step closer to the boy while saying "Where is far away?"

I step back but I can't go far... Grandpa Ling is in the way so I do the first thing that comes to mind, I point straight up. As everyone looks up, I spin around and quickly crawl through the small window facing the ally. The bug's friend in black tries to grab me but I quickly squeeze through and begin running.

I run into another room where a woman is taking a bath. She screams in terror and begins covering herself as I cover my eyes whispering loudly "I'm a woman! I didn't see anything!" The woman continues to scream bloody murder as I keep running.

The bug's friend tried to follow me through the window but he was too large to fit through the small opening. I continue running until I find the front door. I quickly open it and check to see if the coast is clear before running at neck-breaking speeds.

I run straight for the woods in hopes of losing them but I quickly realize I'm being followed by the bug's friend. Doesn't he ever stop!? I'm going to get killed at this rate! I run until my legs scream for mercy but when I see the large cliff I nearly curse the heavens.

What have I done so wrong to deserve this!? HUH!? I stop at the very edge of the cliff and try to catch my breath. There was fast-flowing water under the cliff! Okay... maybe the heavens aren't against me... "Where do you plan on running to? Do you not know who I am?"

I turn around to see the bug himself and his little buddy. I was still panting as the two of them look completely fine... "Are you two even human? Hah... No, I don't wanna know that. Who are you? Should I know?" I ask still out of breath. The bug narrows his eyes at me as I try to catch my breath.

The wind gently blows causing our clothes to sway as we stare each other down. "You're pretty fast for such a small thing... If you knew who I was you'd know there was no way to run away from me. This land and everything in it belongs to me." I finally catch my breath and frown at the bug.

"My Lord's name is Bai Lei! How can anyone not know who he is?" The bug's friend says in anger. I look to him and say "Do you have a man-crush on him or something? Why are you always following him around and kissing ass?"

Bai Lei nearly laughs but quickly covers it as Ren becomes fuming mad "M man-crush!? This coming from the guy who groped him!?" Was this what they were so upset over? Because they thought some guy groped him? In irritation, I look up to the sky and say "Why!?"

Bai Lei and Ren look at the boy in confusion... such an odd kid.

"Fine! I can fix this... right here, right now!" I say grabbing the belt holding my Chinese Traditional Clothing together. Bai Lei and his friend look completely shocked as I start stripping my outer layer off. The bug's friend quickly jumps in front of his master in a protective manner with his arms spread wide. "What do you think you're doing!?" The bug's friend asks in horror.

Did they really think I was going to strip naked!? I roll my eyes and throw the outer gown down. "Look closely, you idiots! I'm a woman, not a boy!" I yell in anger. I'm so tired of this freaking world! I want to go home! Bai Lei freezes up completely when he sees the woman in front of him.

He reaches over and smacks Ren saying "Cover your eyes!" Ren quickly shakes himself and covers his eyes but his face remains beat red. Bai Lei Looks at the crazy woman standing at the cliff with awe... She can't be from this world... "Do you know how improper it is to show a man your undergarments?"

I scoff at the bug and say "I could care less at this point! Didn't you two come to kill me because I touched you or something? Well take a good look, you didn't get groped by a man... you got groped by a woman!" I suddenly realize how wrong that sounds...
