(A/N: Since I forgot to do this on all my other stories, I'll do it all here. I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING I WRITE UNLESS THE CHARACTERS ARE MY OWN OC'S. There, I finally remembered to do it. Black Raider is the owner of the main OC's I'm using, but others you don't recognize as their's are mine. ON WITH THE STORY.)
Young Kiki, at age nine, was enjoying life at the Jade Palace with her Yeh-Yeh, friends, and parents. However, her joy would be short lived.
"Mama, Mama, look," shouted Kiki as she showed her mother one of the moves she'd learned from the 1,000 scrolls of Kung Fu.
"Very good, Kiki." The girl smiled up at her mother. She always liked to impress people. Sometimes she was scolded for always trying to please EVERYBODY.
"You can't please everyone, baby girl. You just be you, and if someone doesn't like it, then that's their loss," her father told her once.
"Kiki," Shifu's voice called. "There's someone here who claims they know you." Confused, the child padded over.
When she saw that someone, she froze. It was a female cheetah named Jingfei. She was from her cheetah village before it was raided. All kinds of memories came flooding back to the girl.
"Jingfei, please stop!" a little girl, almost four, cried.
"Shut up, you pathetic runt!" the woman shouted and slapped the girl to the ground.
More than just that one memory came to her mind.
"Well, aren't you glad to see me, dear?" asked the woman in a sickeningly sweet voice.
Kiki felt like passing out. Everyone came out to see what was going on, and they were shocked to see that Kiki had a look of pure horror on her young face, and were worried when she fell onto her bottom, trembling like crazy.
"Kiki, sweetheart, are you alright?" asked her mother. The girl slowly stood and said, "Uh, if you'll excuse us, ma'am, I need to talk to these people alone."
The elder cheetah nodded.
Kiki led her parents and Shifu around the corner.
"What happened, Kiki?" asked Shifu.
"That woman happened."
"What?" the three said at the same time.
"I don't have a very good past with her. At the time, I didn't know she had my biological parents killed just to have custody of me. She abused me, starved me, made me work to the point to where I couldn't even stay concious. Soon, she got tired of me and threw me in the orphanage. Trust me, if she's here, her little friends will come too, and they'll try to do what they did to me before I was put in the orphanage. It WILL get worse if she stays. You have to do something about her."
The three elder animals were shocked. No, shocked is an understatement. They were more like mortified that that cheetah woman did that to Kiki; she shouldn't do that to any child. No child deserves that.
Kiki had started crying in the middle of her explanation. Her family members hugged her, and promised her that they would handle it.
Kiki still had her doubts, however.
