Shadow: Oh, no you don't! -chases Jack-
Inu: Let's get this party started!
Chase: But I thought we're starting your story, not a party.
Inu: --U It's an expression, Chase. -sigh- God, you're almost as bad as Omi with slang and expressions.

" Riku, wake up."
Waking up, with silver hair, pointed ears, golden eyes with flecks of brown, a girl named Riku is gently shaken by her foster mother Mrs. Farn. Riku stood up and it turns out that she has three long silver fox tails. ⌠ Yes, Mom?" Riku asked.
" You should be up by now." Mrs. Farn stated.
" But it's my birthday, I'm 20 today. You said I could sleep in today, since I'll be leaving." Riku was a little annoyed, but when she never really showed emotion, except in her eyes, since no one really look at her in the eyes, except her foster family, since Riku's an lunar kitsune, or a moon fox demon. And she lives in a world where people don't really like youkai. But even though her foster family were human, It's one of the rare humans who love youkai.
" I did?"
" Yes."
" Oh, well, sorry. But maybe you should get up, anyway."
" Yeah, I'm wide awake now, thanks a lot."
" You're welcome!" Mrs. Farn left Riku's room to let her get dressed.
Riku sighed. Her family was annoying, but she loved them. Riku got dressed in an all black training robes, black loose pants and a black haori with long, purple-ended sleeves. On the front of the haori, it had sakura pedal designs in purple stitching. On the back, was a sakura tree full of blossoms in purple stitching. She slipped on some black Japanese slippers and ran down the hallway to the stairs.
She slid down the stair rail to the first floor and walked to the shrine. Riku's family lives at a shrine, and Mrs. Farn and her daughter, 13 year old Kimmy, are priestesses. The family live on the outer skirts of Japan. She walked out and found a girl with blonde hair, freckles, and blue eyes. The girl was praying at in front of a sakura tree. " Hey, Kimmy."
" Riku!" The girl stopped praying and hugged Riku, who just sighed and quickly hugged back, then broke the hug. Kimmy was wearing a basic priestess outfit, except the pants were pink.
" Kimmy, you know how I hate hugs." Riku told Kimmy.
" I'm sorry, but you're leaving! And it's your birthday!" Kimmy exclaimed. She pulled out a small box and handed it to Riku. " Sorry I didn't wrap it."
" It's alright." Riku opened her eyes and her eyes widened a fraction. Inside the box was a necklace. On a thin gold chain, was a square yellow topaz, the size of a quarter, for a pendant. " Kimmy, this is your lucky necklace! You had this for years! And your, giving it to me?"
" Yeah, call it a good bye present." Kimmy smiled. " There's also something else in there."
Riku quickly put on the necklace and found an Ipod Nano inside. " You didn't have to give me this."
" Oh, just take it! It's your gift, keep it! You're too nice, you know that?"
" What do you mean?"
" You always worry about us and other humans, and risk your own life whenever there's danger. Even though humans hate youkai like you, you save them. And you're just, nice, in a way."
" That's because I try to show humans that youkai can be nice, if you get to know them. And maybe, that this messed-up world would just get over youkai. Sure, I admit, that there are evil youkai, but then again-."
" -Alright, enough with monologue!" Kimmy said jokingly. " Sorry I brought that up!"
Riku sighed. " Same old Kimmy. How about we get to my laptop and get some songs on this thing?" Riku held up the Ipod.
" Yay!" Kimmy and Riku ran to Riku's room.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
" That's about enough songs." Riku said, closing the laptop.
" So when are you leaving, anyway?" Kimmy asked, laying on Riku's bed while throwing and catching a flute.
Riku caught the flute as she threw it upward. " Tonight, around 10."
" Do you have to go?"
" Yes. I already old you, I'm going to America." Riku began packing some stuff into a blue backpack. She packed her laptop, some clothes, her Ipod, with ear buds, some of long-ranged weapons, a first aid kit, and a couple of apples or the trip. " Anything else I need?" She asked herself out loud.
" Don't forget your sword." Kimmy blurted. " And your flute."
" How can I forget them? Especially since one of them is a bracelet that's attached to my right wrist whenever I'm not using I?" Riku held up her right wrist and revealed a silver wrist band, in the middle was a dragon pendant. " Still, I wonder where I got this."
Kimmy stood up and shrugged. " Who knows? Maybe from your old parents."
Riku packed her flute. " Maybe. Oh, well."
" Why are you going to America, anyway?"
" Technically, I'm not just going to America. I'm traveling the world on foot, except for crossing the ocean, I'll do that on my cloud."
" Can't I come with you?"
" No." Riku opened her door. " Let's go, since..." Riku held up five fingers, then takes down a finger after each second, counting down. " 5...4...3...2..."
" Riku, Kimmy!" Mrs. Farn called out. " Time for lunch!"
" Man, I'm good." Riku said in a monotone voice. Kimmy giggled and the two went to the kitchen to eat. Riku grabbed an apple.
Mr. Farn was already sitting at the table. " Happy birthday, Riku." He said in a cheerful tone.
" Thanks, dad." Riku said.
" Dear, you should be excited." Mrs. Farn told Riku.
" I should be, but no. I'm going to be leaving for thousands of years, and you'll be dead for more than 95 of my life." Riku answered, voice showing no emotion, as usual.
" That may be true, but remember, you'll always be part of our family." Kimmy said.
" You'll be with our grandkids, their kids, and so on." Mrs. Farn said.
" I know, and I'm glad about that, but I was thinking...Maybe I should just leave the family, not stay until I die, I mean." Riku sighed and finished her apple.
" You can stay as long as you want to." Mr. Farn said. " You're always welcome here."
" I know, dad. Thanks guys, you know what to say to cheer me up." Riku smiled. Her smile faded when the doorbell rang. " Who should get it?"
" I will." Kimmy stopped eating and ran to the front door, Riku following. Kimmy opened the door and it showed a man with long brown hair, put in a low ponytail, green eyes, pointed ears, and he was smirking. He was wearing a blue sweat suit, with hoodie, white sneakers, a was wearing a white bandana over his hair. " Hey, Sakka, here for Riku?"
" Why else?" The man asked.
" Sakka, what are you doing here?" Riku asked as Kimmy went back to the kitchen. " Last I checked, we aren't in San Lantos. (Okay, I have no idea if this place is real, so if it is, I don't own) And that Japan isn't very tolerant of gangsters."
" I thought I would come with you to America." Sakka answered in a cheery voice. " Oh, and happy birthday."
" But San Lantos is in the West side of America, I'm starting in the East, in New York."
" So? My brothers will understand. Who wouldn't, when I'm escorting that fabulous, and famed, Riku?"
" Nice flirt, but I'm only famed in San Lantos, mainly because that's a town with nothing but youkai."
" I repeat, so?"
" Fine, You may come with me and travel until we get to San Lantos, then you can get back to your 'homies'. While I continue my travels."
" As you wish." Sakka joked. ' May I come in? I don't think that I should stay out here, long."
" Be my guest. But before we leave, you're changing." Riku smirked as Sakka sighed and walked in. The rest of the day was like any other day, talking, a little training, a lot of training for Kimmy. And just listening to music and having a karaoke just for the heck of it, Riku judging, of course.
Soon it was 10 pm, and Riku and Sakka were just outside the house, waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Farn to stop holding them back by talking. The only different thing is that Sakka was wearing a different outfit, long sleeved white shirt with a blue jersey on top, a pair of jeans, and white sneakers. " Mom, please." Riku said in her usual tone, calm and emotionless. " I have to go now. I'll be back."
" Mom, can I please go with Riku?" Kimmy begged. " I promise I'll be good! I'll do whatever Riku tells me to! PLEASE!!"
" Kimmy, what have I told you about begging?" Riku somewhat scolded. " Begging will just show you're weak, and will get you nowhere."
" Sorry, but I really want to go with you guys!" Kimmy exclaimed.
" Aw, just let her come." Sakka blurted. " The sooner we leave, the better."
" No, I don't want Kimmy to come." Riku said. Riku said bye and she and Sakka left. " Let me guess, you brought your gun with you?"
" No, I never had a gun." Sakka answered. They were now about a few miles away from Riku's old house. Suddenly Riku stopped. " What's wrong?"
" Kimmy, you can come out, now." Riku stated, not even looking behind her. Sakka turned around and saw Kimmy emerging from behind a big rock. " Why did you follow us?"
" Mom and Dad said I could follow you." Kimmy said. " Can I stay?"
Riku let out an annoyed sigh. " Fine." So now the three began walking the way they were going.

At the Xiaolin temple.
It was around 1 pm. And everyone was BORED. There hasn't been a single Shen Gon Wu activation in a month. " There has to be more wu, cause I don't think we've found all the wu." Raimundo said, with bored-ness in his voice.
" Be patient, Partner. This will give more time to do things." Clay said while carving a bull out of wood.
" And more time to train." Kimiko said while sparring with Omi.
" Yes, I agree." Omi said while dodging Kimiko's attack. "Tsunami Strike, Water!" Omi summoned a giant wave that swept over Kimiko, causing her to lose the spar.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
In Jack's 'evil' lair.
Jack was working on a new kind of robot. " Dammit. Why hasn't there been a wu activation in the past month?" Jack said while throwing a wrench to the ground.
Suddenly, his wu detector went berserk and started saying "SHEN-GON-WU ALERT! ALERT!" over and over again.
" About time!" Jack said before he grabbed the detector and flew off toward the new wu.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
At Chase's castle.
Chase was meditating when the new wu activated. " Interesting. This Shen Gon Wu will be mine." Chase smirked evilly and teleported.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
With the monks.
" Shen Gon Wu alert!" Dojo said as he opened the scroll.
"FINALLY!" Raimundo said while everyone ran to Dojo.
"...I think there's somethin wrong with the scroll." Dojo said as he transformed to full sized and the dragon apprentices climbed on. " It seems to show a square rock."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Back with Riku.
Riku, Sakka, and Kimmy were walking, when suddenly it got dark. Riku looked the sky. 'Hmm. Is it a storm? It's only noon, so it couldn't be night. But I would've sensed a storm a long time ago.' She thought. She shrugged. " We need to travel until we find shelter, or once it rained, which ever came first."
" Right." Sakka agreed.
" Man, why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Kimmy asked herself out loud.
Fortunately, (or unfortunately, you decide) it was just thunder and lightning, no rain for some reason. " This is weird, no rain. Is this a sign?" Riku asked.
" Who knows? Hmmm..." Both Sakka and Kimmy said. Riku pulled out her flute and started what to tune for the Song of Lightning, the song she just thought up. After about 5-10 minutes, she finished her 5 minute song and started testing how the song sounds.
" That sounded beautiful!" Kimmy exclaimed. And for some reason, the lighting seemed to move with the song.
'Looks like my abilities are at full power.' Riku remained stoic-faced and continued on. Around 1pm the lightning was out of control.
" Strange weather, today." Sakka said with some suspicion in his voice as he looked at the sky. They decided to sit and rest for a bit. " I wonder what's with the weather." Sakka said.
" Maybe it's a sign." Kimmy blurted. " That something bad is gonna happen."
" Don't be stupid!" Sakka snapped. " That's only in movies."
" Sakka, Kimmy may be up to something." Riku said, finally talking. Then Riku's necklace started to glow.
" What the-?" Kimmy asked. The necklace continued to glowed then in a flash, Riku, Sakka, and Kimmy has disappeared. Another flash appears, except in a different place, and Riku appears, still stoic as ever, but slightly dazed. Kimmy looked up at the sky. " What just happened? It's sunny. Why?"
" I think your necklace was some kind of portal." Riku examined the topaz. They took a look at her surroundings.
" Where am we? What's this place?" Kimmy worried.
" Don't worry, Kimmy." Sakka said. " We'll figure out all this soon, even if I have to take out an army of youkai."
Riku resisted the urge to roll her eyes. " Over cocky, again."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
With the monks:
Everyone was staring at the scroll while was flying them to there destination.
" Why does it look like a very tiny rock?" said Raimundo.
" I don't know. What is this wu called?" asked Dojo.
" It says it's called 'The Jewel of Portals'."
" Oh NOW I remember! It can transport you anywhere you want. Kinda like the Golden Tiger Claws, but this can take to any place, any WORLD. I think Dashi sent it to another world, like when Omi sent the Golden Tiger Claws to the world's core."
" So what are waiting for, let's go!" cried Omi.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
With Riku:
It's been an hour since they came to this place. Riku decided to travel away form this place. 'I wonder...' She put her 2 index fingers and put one in each corner of her mouth. Then she blew really hard, but you can't hear a whistle. It sounded like she was just blowing air. Then there was a sparkle in the cloudless sky, and in a blink of an eye, a fluffy cloud appeared in front of Riku " Good. I still have access to my cloud." Kimmy and Sakka jumped on the cloud and Riku flew off with the cloud following her.
But before she could get far, a smell caught her nose 'A human.' Then she was knocked out of the air and Sakka and Kimmy were knocked off the cloud. The two were heading toward the ground when her cloud caught her. Riku got back to flying, face still stoic but eyes glaring at a goth teen with very pale skin, red eyes, eyeliner on his face and red hair that just flew in front of them.
" What do you want, and who are you?" Sakka growled.
The goth teen looked disappointed " You don't know of Jack Spicer: Evil Boy Genius?!?"
The stoic girl couldn't resist. " Jack Spicer? Evil Boy Genius? Don't you mean: Jack Spicer: Evil Boy Retard?" Her eyes were laughing like crazy, but her face was stoic. While Sakka and Kimmy were chuckling.
Steam was coming out of Jack's ears. " OOOOOHH! You'll so regret that. JACK-BOTS, ATTACK!!" At least 3 dozen robots were flying towards Riku.
Riku smirked evil-like. She put her right hand and had only her index and middle fingers up and together. " Whip of Darkness." Then a long, dark purple whip-like item was coming out of her 2 fingers and was moving her hand to use the item as a weapon.(Like Sesshoumaru's Whip of Light) In about 2-4 minutes, all the robots were completely destroyed, and Riku didn't break a sweat!
" AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!" Jack screamed as Riku came up to him and struck him to the ground, then pinned him to a tree with her hand tightly around his neck.
" You didn't answer our question." She loosened her grip on Jack's neck so he can breathe. " What. Do. Want. With. US???" She asked in a threatening tone.
" What are you?"
" I am a lunarkitsune. Now what do you want, human?"
" Nothing, just some Shen Gon Wu, that's all."
" Shen Gon Wu?" She tilted her head slightly, like a dog.
" Please let me go, I'll leaveyoualoneifyoujust LET ME GO!!!" Jack cried, begging.
" Get out of my sight." With that, he dropped him and he fled, running to flying on his heli-pack. She sighed, 'Guess I won' find out more from that weak human.' That last word she thought made her sick. She flew back to the others, and continued their traveling, Riku playing her Song of Annoyance on her flute. With a man flying a distance behind her, following.
This continued for about 10 minutes. She had been smelling his scent the whole time. 'A human? No. Demon? No. It's in between, but not a half breed.' Riku stopped playing her flute put in her pack, and she and the cloud landed. " Alright, show yourself. I'm getting annoyed of you following us."
" My, my. That was rather interesting, what you did with Spicer." Said the man with long green-black hair, orange-yellow eyes, and was wearing armor. " I was watching the whole thing, and I'm impressed. Pity you didn't kill him, though." 'Such power. Maybe I can get her to join me. And maybe the other two, as well." He thought as he landed. Riku still had her back to him.
" Who are you, and are you after this, Shen Gon Wu, like that boy?" Sakka questioned.
" I am Chase Young, and yes I'm after the Shen-gon-wu, as well. And you are?"
Riku turned around. " Riku."
Sakka was getting ready to charge. " Sakka."
Kimmy ran behind Riku. " Kimmy."
" Tell me. Are you a demon, or a youkai?" Riku asked. " You have a youkai aura, yet you have a human-like scent."
" I'll humor you. I was human, till I sold my soul for immortality and became a demon."
Sakka was looking at him in the eye. " A lizard demon, I'm guessing?"
" Correct." Chase answered.
" And you are after a Shen Gon Wu?" Kimmy asked.
" Correct again. You three are a rather intelligent group."
" And what does this have to us?" Riku glared at Chase.
" You're wearing it around your neck." He pointed at the necklace Riku was wearing. " And I want it."
" You can't have it."
Chase was getting annoyed. " And why not?"
Riku clutched the necklace in her hand. " It was a gift from my friend...And there's no way you're getting it. " All four looked up, toward the east.
" It's those monks, again."
" Monks?" Kimmy asked.
" Well, apprentices, technically."
" And let me guess, they're after my necklace, too?" Riku sounded annoyed.
" Clever, aren't you?"
Riku glared at Chase. She rolled her eyes as the dragon with the four kids landed.

Chase: I don't make him pass out.
Inu: True. -shrugs- And I apologize to all Jack fans for the torturing we do to Jack.
