What Shang Dragon?
Chapter 1
A young girl about 14 years old with dark hair sat on a rock in the shadows of the trees, her eyes closed. Abruptly, her eyes snapped open and she turned around. Her face was emotionless as she concentrated at a spot in the dark forest.
"Come out Uncle Raoul. I know you're there."
A large man with curly black hair and sparkling black eyes grinned and stepped out of the shadows.
"You're no fun, Kai," he said to the girl.
"hnn." she merely answered but her mouth twitched up a fraction of a centimeter in a smile.
Raoul sighed. He remembered when she was younger. She had been so cheerful and happy-go-lucky at the age of 3. But then, her parents died. She understood her parents would never come back and she became more withdrawn. A few days after the funeral, she ran away and was found in a forest by the Shang Wildcat. Undergoing training, she was deemed worthy of being the Shang Dragon at the age of 4.
The young protégé trained for ten years with the Wildcat and Boar learning every weapon and toning her senses. Even continuing her education in literature, mathematics, battle strategies, history, and also learning numerous languages.
She handled every weapon expertly as if she was born with them in her hands. Though she has extreme competence with the weapons, she was best with Shang combat. Hand to hand combat, using what she was born with: her body.
Raoul of Goldenlake snapped out his thoughts and glanced at the raven haired girl. He held out a crisp white envelope. Yana's eyes flickered toward the now solemn hand and took the envelope.
Shinkaiyana glanced at the envelope confirming that it was addressed to her. Slowly tearing it open, she saw a piece of cream colored paper. Carefully unfolding it, she glanced at the letter, skimming through it in mere seconds. Her hair was covering her face and expression (if there was one which is highly unlikely). Swiftly lifting her head up, she examined her uncle. He looked at everything else but her, slightly squirming.
"It's impolite to read other people's mail," the youth stated lightly.
The large knight squirmed even more and put up a mask of innocence.
"What do you mean? I never read you letter." Yana looked calmly but piercingly into her uncle's eyes.
"You know you read it uncle. Anyways, since you are already informed on what the letter contains, I shall be leaving. Good day."
Raoul shook his head after she left. That girl had a really uncanny ability to notice the slightest things. Suddenly, he sniffed himself and thought, 'maybe I should lay off the aftershave when I'm trying for sleuth.'
Yana, as she was called by the girls or Kai by the boys woke up immediately at dawn. She began her daily exercises starting with Shang combat: punching and kicking the air, flipping and twirling so fast she became a blur. During one cartwheel, she heard someone opening the door and felt said person staring at her. Immediately, she flipped into the air turning in a somersault seemingly continuing her pattern, her back to the door. In a flash, she twirled around and pinned the person in question on the floor smashing his face into the floor. Size wise, she could tell it wasn't her uncle. The slender girl finally spoke.
"Name and business," she stated rather than questioned.
"Domitan of Masbolle, Sergeant in the King's Own at you service, Kai."
Kai immediately relaxed at the familiar drawl and nickname letting the man up.
"Sorry about that Dom." Dom chuckled and looked at the pretty girl.
"Remind me to knock next time?" Kai nodded curtly once.
"Anything else you needed?"
"Nope, Lord Raoul just said you were always up at dawn so me and my men decided to surprise you." He pouted slightly. "Then you tackled me."
A corner of Kai's mouth twitched slightly. Then she looked out the door and saw the men in line a distance away supposedly to escape her wrath. 'Dom must have warned them,' she thought.
Looking closer at the men, she noticed that most of them were smirking, guffawing, and a few were stifling their chuckles. As she glared at them, they stopped immediately, their faces showing a bit of fear.
Turning her glare at Dom she asked, "What'd you tell them about me?"
Dom merely chuckled.
