Class dismissed

It was his second day in the school without a master. A summoner. He tested some people but none were worthy of his loyalty, none. They were all seeking gold, powers, and more powers which ended with their own downfall. Bad seed of human breed, suckers they only deserved to be burned in hell. Then, Zhou tai was off to the class then. He met with a botanical teacher called Kazuki Ona. He heard the rumor. This due was once in relationship with a brat and when the brat left him he breaks, pathetic. When the class was over, the teacher got pissed seeing Zhou tai stayed there.

He yelled at Zhou tai and started the sarcastic of a special private lesson. Zhou Tai put down the book and he saw the teacher. He walked to him and since he was a big tall guy, the teacher's table was only by his thigh. He slammed his feet on the teacher's table and gave him a rude smirk. The teacher jumped from his seat then.

,' the name is Zhou Tai the bull king, you punk! And I'm not here for your silly lessons about herbivores. I'm here to challenge you. I know you've been wanting an eidolen right?"

Though of course, Zhou tai would not just let this guy had him. He already experienced some people, they were all trash, not worthy of his loyalty. Zhou tai removed his feet from the table, but kept his fierce gaze on the teacher. He knew the sad pathetic romance story this teacher had with a punk called hikaru. How sad, laughable.

,' tell me now, Kazu punk. If you have me.. as your eidolen, what would you do with all the powers?"

He hated the way the Kazu punk treated him. He treated him like a gigolo, how dare he? When Zhou tai demanded an explanation over what the punk did, he just did the way worse. Zhou tai glared at him, and then slapped his cheek, not so hard though so that the guy would not fall off like feather. Zhou tai grabbed the guy's neck, and gave him a dark glare.

,' so you don't want eidolen for their powers? Do you want them to be your whores? Life time sex slave? Don't make me laugh punk. Do I look like a gigolo to you? All right, count me out then kazu punk, you’re just the same worthless as the other bad seed beings here!"

He wasted his time on a wrong guy. His question was serious about what the guy would do with all the powers but the guy played on him, how great. Then, Zhou tai decided to leave the academy. He was no longer in the kazu punk's class. He was off to the out world. He found a master there, an old man who was wise, filled with wisdom, and most importantly, that old man treated him like a son. He saw it in the old man's eyes and heart. This man, was more than worthy of his loyalty. So, he offered his whole self to this old man. Then one day, when the old man was about to die, he asked Zhou tai to end the contract, he said he wanted to die, and meet with his family in heaven. It was hard on him but Zhou tai did it. He broke the bond with betrayal as the master wished him to, and he died with a smile, he gave his blessing to the bull King before he died.

The man had but one wish, to be buried in the sakura garden in the academy where he grew up. Zhou Tai took his last quest to honor his master. He burned the master's dead body and he brought the ashes to the academy. He went to the sakura garden, dug a hole in there, and then he poured the ashes of his dead master inside that hole, then closed it. The ash was now right under the sakura tree. Zhou Tai put a photo of his master and the family right under it, he put some of his flame into the photo so it would not be removed from its spot. He then Knelt there, and pray. Then he heard someone talking to him, it was the Kazu punk. Zhou tai stood up, and looked to the sky. While the guy still talking to him , asking him where he had been all this time.

,' I found a worthy man of my loyalty , devotion, and power. He was wise, he was like a father to me but he chose death, for he missed his family in heaven. so I buried him here just like he wanted me to. I don't expect you to understand what I'm saying though, I doubt you will."

Of course, how could this man understand things like wisdom, family? Son? Father? Loyalty? While he could only think of his ass the first time they met and Zhou Tai asked him. he then glanced at the kazuki guy.

,' So, did the punk got his eidolen now? find someone worthy of your ass?"

Zhou tai really hit the spot, the guy did something pathetic again. Zhou Tai just stayed quiet, this one was not his master. And this one did not want him to be his eidolen either from the start, he said it when he offered his rectal as payment. What a joke. The guy even dared to ask the bull to burn his dead body like hell he would do that! Who did this guy think he was huh? Zhou tai had no responsibility over this man, none at all, perhaps the guy forgot.

,' are you idiot kazu punk? I'm not your eidolen I'm nothing but stranger to you. Then why ask my help? I only help my master , i only bur the ashes of my masters that had died. as long as i remember, you're not my master right?

Zhou Tai watched for a while, the guy seemed to be enjoying it huh? Suicide, but then, he thought about it. This was his old master's graveyard.. now.. he did not want it to be stained by some fool who choose suicide for not having someone fucked his ass.. ouch.. that was so lousy and total sucks! Hell no. so, in the end, the bull king drew his axe and threw it at kazuki ona, the guy seemed to be frightened to death seeing that huge axe flying towards him. The big axe cut the ropes and the bull let kazuki Ona landed on top of his axe, then, the axe come back to him and Kazuki fell to the ground. The Bull King sighed to this pathetic being, obviously too afraid to die and unwilling to live.

,' i forgot, this is my master's resting place, i won't let anyone disrespect it.

Zhou tai gave the guy a glare, a clear sign that if he ever dared say a word about his ass again, then that's it, the bull would just give up on this guy. It was rare for Zhou Tai to be generous, giving two chances to someone.

,' So punk… this will be the last time I waste my time on you. Tell me, are you worthy of my loyalty? What will you do if you have me?"

Now the second one, was much better, this hopeless man said a better answer. He just want a lifetime partner and he just want to have strength to keep on living. A simple wish but good one. Zhou tai decided to accept it and then, he brought the foolish man in his arms. He went all the way to his room. As a student, Zhou tai the bull king have his own room of course. They arrived and then, Zhou Tai put the man on the big couch. His room was mostly covered with black, and metal or silver color. The design was kind of modern one.

Zhou Tai made red bean soup with beef inside, it was a traditional and simple food that he could make. He only needed some mushroom powder , salt, and a bit of other spices that's all. He made it and then when the guy woke up. He passed a bowl to him and let him ate it. It was warm so it would be good for healing. Though it would be faster when the two made the contract. Since Zhou Tai gave the guy a promise, he grabbed the guy's mouth and opened them, then, he slipped his tongue inside and he let their tongue and lips melted together. The bull king let some of his life force entered the man's body, and a bit of his soul shards too.

He then let go of the man, and sharply starred at him. He took away the bowl which was empty and then he went off to wash the dishes, he knew the guy would feel better now. Then, Zhou Tai went to the bedroom, stripped naked right before the man's eyes and he went to shower. The shower room was simple, and only covered with glass door. It took him few minutes to finish his bath. When he was done, he just got out from the shower room and dried off his long black hair. He starred at the guy who was blushing red like roasted shrimp.

,' now you can go bath Kazu punk. and you have my loyalty now, so does a part of my soul is yours , and heart, for you to toy with. I'll be in the balcony if you need me."

the guy probably would never recognize the tattoo that appeared after the contract was made, it was the same shape as the one in Zhou Tai's right arm.

The guy finally saved, even though he looked all flustered when he saw Zhou Tai got all naked. Well he was used to live alone so he never aware of another people's presence. Kazuki sensei was so aware of Zhou Tai and the strange thing was, he acted like he was not welcomed here. He even wanted to leave. Really? He already wanted to leave?

With a sigh, Zhou Tai grabbed his kinagashi, in dark green, almost black. He slipped in it and he looked at Kazuki, if the master wanted to leave this place then so be it. Maybe Zhou Tai's room was not as great as the teacher's right? After all, the teachers always get the best from the academy, unlike the students who mostly, used their influence. Rich bastard get pretty rooms, and Zhou Tai, he used his strength and title of " Bull King' to get it. But still not as good as the teacher's rooms still.

,' you really want to leave Kazuki-chan? Well, you are the master, if you hate my room, then we shall move. After all teacher's room must be a lot better than the student's, I know that."

Zhou Tai tried to get comfortable as he was in his own home now. He looked outside, it was dark, late at night already, it might be dangerous to get out in the middle of the night , for this teacher of course, the man who had nothing to protect himself from harm. The bull looked at Kazuki as he stayed between the door frame while Kazuki was on bed.

,' all right Master, try to be patient a bit at least till tomorrow if you hate this place and want to move out. I'll be in the living room, just in case my presence scare the shit out of you."

Kazu brat was not scared of him well that's good. When he said he wanted a partner not a servant, Zhou Tai only gave him a plain gaze, who was the slave anyway. Calling him master was just for formality, it was Zhou Tai's habit and that's all, nothing more. Seemed that this man was the one who 'gets too full of himself'. Then, kazu kissed Zhou Tai again, maybe just for a prank or because this man like kissing whatsoever. The guy refuse to sleep on the bed, and he chose the couch, well, if this guy was so tough then Zhou Tai would not stop him, he was the master after all, his wish was zhou Tai's command.

He accepted whatever kazu said and just do what kazu said, sleep on bed, and let kazu slept on the couch just like the master wanted to. Then, in the middle of the night, he woke up since he wanted to get some water , he was thirsty. Kazu brat told him that he would not bother him and that Zhou Tai should go back to sleep.

,' oh don't worry master, I will back to sleep like you want me to."

Then, in the end, Zhou Tai went back to sleep, when he woke up in the morning, he saw kazu on the couch still sleeping. So, he grabbed a blanket and cover the punk's body with it. Then, he went off to take shower, he was done with the shower and then he went to the kitchen. He would make breakfast now. He had some tofu, shrimp, and nori. He decide to make shrimp dumpling soup . when he was done cooking, he served it on the dining table. He ate, when he was done, he saw Kazu punk waking up, he simply brought the dumpling soup to kazuki . he put the soup on the table in front of Kazuki so that he would eat it.

Saying nothing, Zhou Tai sat on the couch, and he read newspaper, he asked kazuki if he wanted to do anything today.

,' so, what master wanted to do now? I have no class today. "

In the morning, he had to waste his time and energy arguing with his new summoner. Though in the end they went to a café together and then kazuki met someone. They talked about not able to find someone and then, Kazuki looked all sad as if the apocalypse was upon him. Zhou Tai heard it all, this Kazuki was looking for someone important to him, sounded like a lover. Then, kazuki asked Zhou Tai on a date.

To sum up, this man had a broken heart and he wanted Zhou Tai as replacement to his missing lover, short to say a trash bin for him. To know that what this man actually need was a trash bin that stayed forever instead of an eidolen or something even more noble to that, perhaps guardian? No, kazuki needed a trash bin who would stay by his side forever. With a sigh, Zhou Tai stood up.

So I'm your dump bin now. great. your lover is gone so let's ask a stranger to become a dumpster. how sweet of you master Kazuki.'

Talking about cruel man and a bastard, well.. at least Zhou Tai never dated anyone, never fell in stupid emotion like love, and he never had a dumpster in his whole life, which was great and good for him! note to self, " stay away from the thing called " love". Maybe this man was sued to date with strangers ever since his lover left him. well, maybe Zhou tai was just another guy who happen to be a spare for kazuki. well.. he already gave everything to this man, he could not say no right? the date was an order so if his master wanted it, then a date it is. Zhou Tai sighed and he rubbed his big horn.

,'you should know master, love is useless, it only give you pain, why don't live like me? no love, no lover, just you and your life. I'm glad i never fall for anyone. whatever, an order, is an order, i never date anyone , i guess it's all your lead now Master."

it was just great that Zhou Tai don't have lovers, never fell in love, it was true what the saying says. ' love only give you endless pain no matter what" he just saw the reality and it was true.

So the date was canceled, and Zhou Tai was left alone while kazuki went off somewhere. Well.. guess Zhou Tai should do something for himself then. He went to a market place, and bought some things, for food, then, when he got back, he put all things on the fridge and he went to bath. However. Before he could bath, he found Kazuki fainted inside. What a foolish act. He lifted his summoner and then healed him all.

Then, he went off to the kitchen and made some soup. During the whole day, Zhou tai did not only go to market to buy things but he also. He learned how to cook some food, or.. well. Some soup. So, for supper, since Kazuki was having fever, he shall cook soup!

Zhou Tai went cooking sapo tofu soup and some red bean soup. When he was done, he brought it all to the bedroom and put the food on the table. He woke Kazuki up, placed the pillows on his back to let him sat down nicely, and comfortably. Then, he slowly fed kazuki .

,' here. I learn to make some things today. You're sick, so shut up, and eat this."

Zhou tai fed kazuki slowly. And when one small bowl of soup done, he took another, this guy need more nutrition to recover. Zhou Tai fed some more soup to kazuki and he blew it first before letting kazuki ate it. When it was all done, he walked out and cleaned all of the mess he made on the kitchen. Then, he went back to Kazuki with a glass of warm honey.

,' drink this. You'll feel better soon, Master."

Zhou Tai would not bother to get answer from this master, be it a yes or no this man will eat no matter what. Good thing that he did what Zhou Tai told him and then, they somehow ended up sleeping together, just sleeping. Good. If this man try anything funny that would be bad. When they woke up, Zhou Tai saw the man was… walking around doing unnecessary things. He was sick the heck he thought he was doing? Was this means suicide? Was this man suicidal? He hoped not. Though he still tasted the soup and well. This man was a good cook. Zhou tai ate and he also let kazuki ate by himself.

Then, since he was still all weak and numb or whatever, he was sick. Kazuki needed to rest more and he shall rest! Zhou Tai said nothing and he just brought Kazuki to his bed. He set the pillow at Kazuki's back so he could sit comfortably, and then he covered him with blanket. Then. He starred at the man.

,' you will stay here, don't move and don't do anything stupid."

Then, Zhou Tai left and he took care of the dishes. After that, he went to a small tea shop around and bought ginseng tea. He purchased it and then he came back to the house. He made that tea and when he was done, he brought it to kazuki. Poured some for him.

,' go on drink it. And finish this tea . tonight I will make this for you again, and I will only take yes as your reply."

Nothing. The man looked pissed and disgusted by me. After eating, he forced me back in bed and ordered me to stay there and not move. I obeyed as he left. Why? Why was my happy ending have to be so bad? I told him I wanted a companion, but he was acting like I was a problem pet of some sorts. I closed my eyes, but the tears still escaped. I wiped them away quickly when I heard the door open. He came to the room and made me drink ginseng tea. He said that he would give another cup later. I stayed silent. I almost called him Master. He was acting as though I was just a burden for him. I slept for a while and when I woke up, there was a man over me. He was snickering and had a knife on my throat. Where was Zhoutai?

"Hey there little bastard...I was paid to slit your throat. Guess he really doesn't like you...Should have stayed a gensono...not even your Eidolen likes you. Nobody likes you. Hikaru left you, the bull ain't here to save you, he preferred going to fuck a cute guy..."

I could hold my tears. They just fell. Those words hurt me so deeply. Those were my darkest fears, my deepest wounds. The knife slowly started cutting into my flesh. I tried to fight him off, but I couldn't, he was a very strong sen'tou. He slit my throat and left. Leaving only a mat of his hair in my hand. I clamped my hands on the cut and tried to stop the bleeding. I started calling for Zhoutai with my heart. I was panicking. I stood up, stumbled to the bathroom. I had to stop the bleeding. I grabbed my towel and pressed it against the cut. I fell to my knees and gargled. Blood was dripping from my mouth. I was terrified. The door to my room flew open and I heard stumping. Though my vision had gone blurry, I couldn't tell who it was. I just tried to say Zhoutai's name, but the blood made it difficult. I fainted after grabbing on to his clothes.

He was taking care of his master, kazuki. That was what he had in mind. Though when he was about to make more tea for Kazuki to get better, he found out that they're running out of tea. Too bad. Zhou tai went out again to buy more tea, and this time he also brought some medications too, vitamins as well. Kazuki might need it. Though after he was done shopping and went back, he smelt something. Blood. He dropped his groceries on the floor and went search for Kazuki. He found him fainted in the bathroom.

It was strange that he did not hear kazuki called out to him. Perhaps it was the connection between them. They needed to forged it. This was bad. Zhou Tai did not feel kazuki's pain or anything this was not good. He sighed and he thought of a way. Besides loyalty. He needed to do something about their bond. He thought with just loyalty it would be enough but he was wrong. Though he healed kazuki first by closing the wound and brought him to bed again for rest.

When kazuki woke up, Zhou Tai was there, he had some vitamins for his master and he gave it to kazuki to drink them all. When all was done, Zhou Tai proposed something.

,' Kazuki-sama, it seemed that… it's bad for me to roam around… hat if…. From now on I stay inside your heart? Like.. well..deep inside you so that you could summon me wherever you like. I think that would be safer for you."

Zhoutai was here. He said that he was thinking it would be better if he stayed in my heart from now on. I grabbed on to him and made him look at me. I pulled him on me and I hugged him. I was scared and shaken.

"I'd feel safer if I could see you...Is it...true? Do you hate me? Were you out to...release yourself in a...cuter guy? The guy that hurt me...he said you paid him to get rid of me...I...I don't want to believe him...please tell me it wasn't true...don't...break my heart like he did..."

I his myself against his chest and sobbed as silently as I could. I was so hurt. Sad. Tired. I just wanted to find a man that would love me. I fell in love twice now. Hikaru had left me behind, Zhoutai, yes I was in love with him, if he really was trying to kill me, what would I do? I cried a little bit more and eventually calmed down. I slowly looked up and saw Zhoutai had his eyes closed. I didn't know if he was sleeping or not, but I reached up and gently kissed his lips before slipping away from his arms. I didn't want t to bother him anymore. I walked to the kitchen and saw the tea he had bought. I sighed and made some quickly. I drank it slowly and then I started cooking. Anything. Everything. Cooking made me think of something else. Anything else. So I cooked a lot. I just kept going, making dish after dish until I turned around and walked right into Zhoutai's chest. I looked up and blushed. I must have been cooking all night again. I could only notice now how tired my legs were. I fell in his arms and let him pick me up. My counter and my table were full of dishes and food.

"Cooking soothes me. I'll do the dishes, no worries. You can eat what you want and invite people to eat the rest..."

When his master woke up, he asked some odd question and he cried some more. Zhou Tai just held kazuki there in his arms till his master calmed down. Eventually, they both fell asleep together on the bed. Though when Zou tai woke up, he smelt lots of scent in the house it was all mixing and he walked to the kitchen. He saw Kazuki there, and tons of food around. He said cooking soothes him.

With a sigh, Zhou Tai walked closer, pet Kazuki's head and then he did all the dishes. As for the food, he left some outside on the table, and he put the rest on the fridge, in the freezer. Then, he turned his attention to kazuki. He brought kazuki to the balcony, sat on the couch there and he held Kazuki in his arms.

,' Know this, Kazuki-sama. I can't, and won't betray you unless you ordered me to. I bound myself to you, my life is yours, my blade is yours. I will not leave you, until you commanded me."

He hoped this man understands. Being an eidolen, Zhou Tai could not and will not do things that opposed his master. He would only do what his master wished him to and that was it. If kazuki wanted to get rid of him, Zhou Tai would obey. If he wanted him to stay, he would obey as well.

Though for now, he thought that his master here, had been thinking too much and he needed some time to calm down. Perhaps taking some break time from his daily work? Zhou Tai spoke as he pet kazuki's head gently,.

,' sometimes, when one is stressed out, a vacation would be good. If Master wished it, I would prepare a vacation for master kazuki."

It seemed that his plan to take kazuki on vacation worked out well. His master agreed to the plan and he accepted it. Though it would be hard not to call him master. Zhou Tai used to it for his entire life, changing it would take long time. Though if that's what his master wanted then he shall do it as commanded.

They went to Kazuki's room and then he saw his master packed things up. He seemed to be rather excited while Zhou Tai stayed quiet and let his master be happy, this was better. Much better. Though he got a bit startled when Kazuki asked him about clothes. Now… as bull King.. he barely thought about clothes. His green robes was just the only one he wore all the time. And he could only make that one clothes from a special spell that every eidolen would have.

And so, they prepare things and then they took a cab and then change into a ship to the place of their vacation. It was a beach but at the same time you could go for mountain trip as well. It was an island. they arrived there and Zhou tai booked a room for them. It was only a small inn with few rooms. It was simple yet comfortable.

Zhou Tai helped Kazuki to get things done with the clothes and all. He placed the clothes inside the cupboard there and he bowed to his master.

,' This is the only place I know for vacation. My previous Master brought me here. Hope you like the place… Master… I mean.. Kazuki-sama…"
