Kit: Thought I'd give you guys a treat and upload my Xaiolin Showdown fic Yin and Yang. Since the full summary won't fit in the summary box, here it is:

It has been two years since Kiara left the Temple to fulfill her half of the prohpecy. There was a problem, her other half didn't love her. She returns to the temple and chase won't take no for an answer this time. She'll be his queen, wether she likes it or not. A second Dragon of Darkness has shown himself and loves her in return. Only one Dark Dragon can exist at a time. Will the Ultimate Xaiolin Showdown ensue to win the heart of the Dragon of Light?

As usual, I own not a thing unless it is Kiara. That ball of fun is all mine.


Chapter 1

Guardian's Return

Kiara backwinged and alighted in the courtyard of the Xiaolin Temple. Master Fung with Dojo greeted her. Folding her wings to her back, she bowed to the Temple Master.

"Kiara, welcome back." Master Fung replied, returning the bow.

"It feels good to be back, Master Fung. Hey Dojo." She straightened and bumped fists with the small green dragon. "Looks like many things have changed, judging by the training Dragons in the garden."

"Those are the Xaiolin Dragons of Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth." He explained as the group of youngsters ran into the courtyard. She turned to face them and she rubbed her hands together, grinning.

"Greetings Young Dragons. Before I tell you who I am, let me have a little fun." She gazed at all four of them. There was three boys and a girl. Kiara had to admit, the middle teen male was cute. "Now Master Fung has not told me your names nor what your element is. By my sense of smell alone, I shall deduce your element and where you hail from. All you guys have to do is stand still and be quiet." She moved to stand before the tallest one. "You're first big guy." She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.

On a cliff overlooking the Monastary a black haired male crouched, watching the reunion. The hard look in his reptilion eyes softened when he saw her.

'So she's finally returned, has she?' He mused. His inner demon purred with pleasure about her return.

"Who's that Chase?" Asked his human companion, looking through a pair of binoculars. Damn, she was hot!

"An old friend of mine." He replied bluntly.

"She's back? You're kidding." Wuya drifted up beside him to peer over the cliff edge. "I thought she died."

The man named Chase spared a glance for the Heylin ghost woman. "She's like me: long-lived and hard to kill."

"Does she drink the same stuff you do?" Jack asked, curious.

He shook his head. "Her immoralitality is natural. As to why she's hard to kill: she knows every type of combat. A word to the wise," Here he favored his human companion with an evil grin. "Don't piss her off. She'll tear you apart." He relished a bit of satisfaction as the gothic teen's eyes widened in fear. He wondered why she had left Jungle Cat Lair. He remembered when she was with him and Wuya pissed her off. Kiara stuck her inside a marble and Chase had to deal with her ranting and cursing for a whole day. He finally got fed up with it and told her to release the witch.

It was amusing how she only obeyed orders from him. Wuya and at odd times, Hannibal, had given her orders but she never carried them out unless they came from his lips.

It also made him wonder why she only took orders from him.

'Can you not see it or are you just dumb?' The demon quipped.

'What the hell are you talking about?' Chase growled at his demon.

'You were the reason why she left.'

He blinked. 'What did I do?'

'Think about it. The two of you had a fling, correct?'

'And?' He retorted. It dawned on him then. 'She loved me, didn't she?'

'Right on.'

'But I didn't return her love.' He sat back. He growled at himself for his foolishness. He had been such a damn idiot! She had loved him and because he was afraid to return the emotion, she had concluded that he didn't love her and left, heartbroken. Upon discovery of her departure, he had been heartbroken: moody around his comrades and upset when he was alone. The only ones who truly knew his feelings about her was his inner demon and the jungle cats that prowled his lair.

He felt the demon nod.

'You were afraid of revealing your love to her that it gave her the wrong impression and because of it, you were the cause she left.'

'You think we could go talk to her later tonight?' Chase asked, wanting to mend both of their broken hearts. Deep within him, he never stopped loving her and was certain she felt the same way. If he came forward and revealed his foolishness and apoligize, it would hopefully start the mending. And, hopefully with the mending, she would want to return to him.

Feeling his intentions, the demon shrugged. 'You can talk to her if you can reach her. You'll probably have to pass through the Xaiolin brats to get to her. The dragon and Master might let you through without a fight, knowing you had past history with her.'

Later that night, Kiara sat on the monastary roof with Dojo on her shoulder, talking.

"The youngsters have really progressed." She commented.

"So you have been watching over the monastary. Master Fung guessed as much."

She nodded. "Like you watch over the scroll, I watch over this Temple and all it contain. Two years ago, I thought I'd have to reveal myself." She grinned, sipping from her cup of green tea. She liked chamomile, but if green was on hand, she perferred it. Dojo cocked his head, trying to remember. "You had one of your episodes." She reminded him, smiling. Her grin faded when she caught a scent on the wind. She lifed her head and sniffed. Her eyes opened wide when she identified it.

"What's the matter Kiara?" Dojo asked.

"I smell someone who I haven't seen in two years." Tears pricked her eyes and she jumped down off the roof.

"Who is it?"

"Chase." She gulped, fearing meeting him again. He had broken her heart and she didn't want to see him again but she knew they would came face to face sooner or later.

"What does he want with you?"

"Something in the pit of my stomach tells me its about why I left him." She whispered. "Stay here, I won't be gone long." He nodded and Kiara followed a panther that had appeared at the edge of the compound. She recgonized it as one of her companions. During her stay, a few of the big cats had taken a liking to her and had become her companions.

"Nekk." She whispered and patted the big cat's head. She butted her leg then trotted off. She lead her through the mountains. When Nekk went to jumping up a cliff, Kiara looked up and saw Chase standing there waiting. She spread her wings and flew up to where he was. "Chase." She stood on the edge, wings half unfurled incase he tried anything funny.

"Kiara." He took a step towards her and she nimble hopped off the edge, her beautiful white wings keeping her aloft but out of his reach.

"What do you want Chase?" She asked smoothly.

"Why did you leave?" He asked.

"You broke my heart Chase. I can't love someone who won't love me back." She answered softly. He could see tears in her eyes.

"I did love you. And I still do. I was just afraid that you didn't return it. If I told you, I was afraid I would lose you. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to lose you. I was a damn fool for not telling you. If I told you, you wouldn't have left and we wouldn't be standing here. When you left, I didn't know what to do and the only ones who really knew was my inner demon and the big cats. Come back to me Kitten. I miss you." He explained. The last two bits were whispered. It was quiet, the only sound being her wings working in the air as she gazed at him, studying him. It took guts for him to come out and say what he did.

She had never known him to admit something like this, until now. She knew it was a stab to his pride. It proved to her he loved her.

He wanted her back, and truth was, she wanted him back as well. Where he was the Dragon of Darkness, she was the Dragon of Light. Yin and Yang. Meant to be together.

He may want her back, but she wasn't going to make easy for him!

"We are The Dragons of Dark and Light, Yin and Yang, meant to be together." She smiled softly at him. "It will take some time for my heart to heal the damage. Until I am ready to receive you as my partner, you will have to work on your wooing techniques."

He chuckled. "I didn't think you would make it easy on me."

"I must go. The others will be wondering where I went to."

"Can I at least hold you again before you go back?" In response, she folded her wings and dropped into his arms. When his strong arms wrapped around her, she nuzzled his neck, inhaling his scent, refamiliarizing herself with it. He kissed her hair.

"I missed you so much Kitten." He opened his arms and let her free. She opened her wings and brushed a kiss across his cheek then she was gliding back to the temple. He watched her as she alighted in the courtyard, folded her wings to her back and walked inside. At the door, she turned back and their eyes connected. He nodded and went back to his own home.

There was much planning to do if he wanted to win her back to his side.
