Book 5: Chapter 6: A Sunny Bunny
Hows it going up there, Yin? Miantiao? an amused voice asked, and Yins eyes fluttered open. She was warm and content as she laid in her hammock. She turned her head slightly and looked down to where Master Jin was smiling up at her. Should it be higher or lower?
This is really fuckin great. Perfect height, she said, giving him a thumbs up.
Well, here's the five minute warning. Were all gathering up for Bi Des letterand were going to do it in here, he called up to her, to which Yin nodded. She was looking forward to hearing what had happened!
You got it, Mast she cut herself off at his raised eyebrow. Big Bro.
Big Bro Jin snorted with amusement and left Yin to it. She watched him go for a moment before turning back to look at the glass ceiling of the greenhouse. The hammock was slung in roughly the middle of the greenhouse, and the glass concentrated the suns rays just enough to feel perfecteven in late afternoon it was just right.
It was really nice of Big Bro to show her this spot. The bed last night had been great, but this? This was perfect. Swaying on a hammock, within her Shifus greatest creation, with a glass of cold fruit juice and some tasty nuts
They never got this much relaxing time back at the Peaks, and this was exactly what she had needed. So far today she had eaten the most delicious breakfast she had eaten in eight months, built a giant snow golem, gotten a massage from Big Sis Mei, which had felt fantastic, and then Big Bro had given her this awesome spot to nap, and had brought her up fruit juice while Wa Shi had given her some snacks.
Like she had said before: it was really fuckin great. Yin yawned and stretched, smacking her lips happily.
On her chest, her Shifu stirred, the old snake opening one bleary eye. His scars looked slightly less rough and painful these days, and a few of the biggest had actually shrunk down after his last shed. The first year, Shifus wounds hadnt seemed to heal at all, only getting slightly less painful. But now Big Sis Meilings healing arts were working their magic, slowly and steadily.
The only thing that was completely the same was Shifus broken back but that too Big Sis Meiling was working on. Spines were delicate things, and she wanted to be absolutely certain nothing bad would happenespecially because the tests she had performed on fish only succeeded half the time.
But she was working on it, and that was all Yin could ask for.
Issss it time? her Shifu asked, and Yin nodded.
Want me to leave you up here for the last ray of the sun?
The snake pondered things for a moment before shaking his head.
I do not wissshh to misss Tigus expression, the snake stated simply, looking amused. He nuzzled Yins cheek, then curled around her arm so she could move.
Yin filed that away, but didnt ask any more questions. Instead, she rolled out of the hammock and dropped three stories to the ground. Her feet landed on soft grass, and she looked up at the hammock strung between the ceilings support beams. The only way up to the hammock was to jump up to the beams.
Yin stepped off the grass and onto stone. She set off towards the main seating area, once more marveling at how much even the greenhouse had changed.
Like everything else, it was bigger but just a bigger greenhouse wouldnt have been that amazing.
Last year it had bare stone floors and raised planters. It had been very nice to have a warm place with a bit of green during winter, but that hadnt been good enough for Big Bro Jin, apparently.

Ha! I knew they could do it! Tigu shouted. Come on, let's see what they look like! Im sure Bi De looks insufferably smug, and Ri Zu is short!
Yin noticed practically everybody who had stayed at home turned to look at Tigu, as Big Bro Jin pulled out the woodprint and turned it around.
Vibrant red hair immediately caught Yins eyes. A perfect, masculine face. Muscles for days. And those green eyesYin swallowed as her heart sped up.
Wow, she breathed out.
And then Tigu broke the spell.
That rat is going to be absolutely insufferable when she gets back, isn't she? the woman asked, her eyes glaring at the second person in the image. Yin managed to tear her eyes away from Bi De and look at
Oh, so that's why everybody else was watching her. Yin turned to Tigu after that too, taking in her twitching eyebrow.
Why?! It isnt fair, damn it! Why does she get freckles! And after saying my taste is weird, look! Look at her arms, she has some muscle there! Tigu marched up to the wooden block and glared at Ri Zu. Look! Look at that little smirk! She's mocking me! I know it!
Shes cute though, Big Sis Mei said, smirking.
Of course, theyre both good looking! How could Ri Zu be anything but devastatingly cute when she looks like Mistress?! How could Bi De not be handsome when he looks like a girly version of Master?! Tigu demanded. Yin saw Wa Shi nearly spit out his drink as he started laughing. Ill admit that Bi Des musculature is nearly perfect but he would be better with a bit more ruggedness! And what the hells is this?! A finger jabbed at Ri Zus chest. Why are they so big?!
Yin pulled out the snacks Wa Shi had given her for the hammock and settled in, a smile on her face as Tigu ranted.
Fuck, she loved being home.
========================
They did eventually get through the story.
It was quite a tense one, full of twists and turns but Yin contented herself with one fact; there had been no demons, and the old bastard Shen Yu was currently bearing down on them.
She was still afraid of the man. She still didnt like him, for threatening her home.
But if that asshole was on the case? The demons were fucked.
Yin went to sleep on the hammock, content.
