All righty, folks; I apologize for starting a NEW story when I have about 10 or 11 already up, but this idea just won't LEAVE ME ALONE, so I need to get it down BEFORE it drives me more insane than I already am.
Sid: Is that even possible? *pot bounces off head* OW!
Tobey: Ha, ha! Sid just got hit with a pan!
Would you like some, Tobey?
Tobey: *sweatdrops* Eh, no, I'm good.
Sue: *Sighs* Men.
Anyone, in case you haven't been able to tell from the names above, this is going to be a Three Delivery story, my first one, so help on it would be appreciated. Sid, disclaimer!
Sid: Why me? *ducks to avoid a flying meat cleaver* Okay, that's good enough incentive for me. *clears throat* ROSEWHIP889 DOES NOT OWN THREE DELIVERY OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS; NICKTOONS DOES. SHE ONLY OWNS ANY NEW CHARACTERS THAT IS NOT IN THE SHOW.
That's right; besides, if I did own it, my younger sister would get Tobey and I would get Sid. Ha!

~AKINA'S P.O.V. ~
I sighed and slouched back in the back seat of Yuki and Kei's minivan. As I stared out the window, I watched as we exited Nevada and finally entered California, where we would now live.
"Guys, is this really necessary?" I asked in a monotone voice and Yuki sighed from the front seat.
"Yes, Akina, it is. No matter what we do, you just can't seem to stay out of fights. This will be your 8th school that you've attended since we've adopted you; your 8th! Is it possible for you to avoid fighting?" Kei asked and I crossed my arms.
"It's not like I go around looking for fights. Other people are the ones that instigate them; I just end them." I said, not liking the fact that they were insinuating that I went looking for fights.
"It doesn't matter, Kina! Just please try to avoid fights, even if the other person is starting it." Yuki pleaded and I groaned; I hated it when she used my nickname.
"Fine; I'll try to avoid people, all right?" I asked and they sighed.
Silence reigned for what felt like forever as I merely stared out the window, not noting anything until I noticed, as Eric turned onto a street, that there was Chinese writing everywhere.
"Um… where are we?" I asked softly, sitting up straight.
"We're in Chinatown, where Kei and I lived before we moved to Virginia." Jen replied and I mouth dropped; we moved to Chinatown? What the fuck!
Right as I was about to say something, a huge tongue lashed out and got me across the eyes.
"Ew! Dammit, Tanya!" I cussed, wiping dog drool off my face, as my 2 year old Great Dane/English Mastiff/Caucasian Shepherd mix, named Tanya, wagged her tail and panted. "Do you always have to lick me?" I grumbled, glaring at her, and she whined, pawing at my arm; I sighed. "Fine." I relented and picked up my arm.
She crawled over and lied down, taking up the entire back seat, with her head on my lap. I started massaging her head and she sighed, closing her eyes. After a couple of minutes, she began to snore and I stifled my snickers.
"Hey, look Kei! There's Wu's Garden! I wonder if Mei Wua still owns it." Yuki murmured and I rolled my eyes at my Chinese adoptive parents.
I looked back at the window and stared at my reflection; my hood was up, which obscured my hair color but not my weird eye color but that was obscured by my sunglasses; I had to wear them because the sun hurt my eyes. Staring down at my bandaged hands, I clenched them, noting how my knuckles tightened underneath the bandages. Just then, the car stopped and I lifted my head; we stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant called Wu's Garden; I guess Jen and Eric were hungry. Flicking Tanya's ear, she groaned and opened an eye.
Pointing, she sat up, allowing me to unbuckle my seat belt and get out of the car. Rolling the window down part way, I was getting ready to close the car door when I saw people walk out of Wu's Garden; shit. Thinking quickly, I got back into the car, shut the door and grabbed a book. Right as I was opening it, I heard footsteps.
"Come on guys, we're going to be late on making these deliveries!" A female voice stated and I swallowed my shock; they were speaking English?
"All right Sue, just hang on." A male voice answered. Turning my head slightly, I was able to watch them out of the corner of my eye; they were close enough, as they walked by with their bikes, for me to study them without them noticing the fact that a strange girl with a hood pulled over her face and sunglasses, at 4 in the afternoon, was watching them. There were only three: two boys and one girl.
The girl had black hair with two strands of bangs that framed her face and was done into a spiky style in the back, dark brown eyes and light skin. She wore a red sweater with white stripes down the arms and sides that was also a belly shirt somehow, dark blue jean Capri's and black and white slip-on shoes.
One of the boys hair color matched the girl's; I guess they were brother and sister. His hair was neat but his bangs kinda hung in his face, but not enough to cover his eyes. He wore dark blue jeans that were spiked on the end, dark brown boots and an off-green sweater with some kind of off-white stripes on his arms; he had the same eye color as the girl; guess they must be twins.
The last boy was kinda goofy looking while the other two were serious; guess they were just friends. The third boy had messy black hair with white bangs that covered his right eyes. He wore black pants, grey tennis shoes and a dark blue sweater.
None of them looked Chinese, but that didn't mean anything. They looked to be my age, but that didn't mean anything; some people look younger than they actually are. Each one was holding a brown paper bag; lunch or were they running an errand?
"All right, last one done with deliveries has to do dishes for a week!" The boy with the white bangs exclaimed as he climbed onto his bike, and the other two scoff.
"How about we make this a little bit more interesting, Tobey? Whoever wins has to do everyone's laundry for a week." The black-haired boy said and the girl grimaced.
"Oh no, I am not doing Tobey's laundry; his gym socks smells worse than week-old cabbage!" She exclaimed and I wrinkled my nose at the thought; ewwwww. I knew how week-old cabbage smelled like, so if his socks smelled worse than that, then that boy's feet were probably be pretty rank.
"Oh come on Sue, try to lighten up some." Her brother said and Sue glared at him.
"How about this: the last person who's done with their deliveries has to eat Barney's cooking for a week." She said and both boys seemed to be thinking.
"Eh, the first one is the least harmful. Last one done is a rotten egg!" The brother said and the other boy laughed before zooming off on his blue bike, the girl following on her red while her brother zoomed off in a different direction on his yellow bike. Shaking my head, I returned to reading my book, Resident Evil 1: The Umbrella Conspiracy.
I don't how long I was sitting out here, when I suddenly heard a door open from the direction of the restaurant.
"Kina get in here!" I sighed and put my book down; dammit it Kei! Placing the book where Tanya wouldn't be able to get to it, I got out of the car and walked into the restaurant.
The place was mediocre-looking; the walls yellow, the floor was tiled and there were about 10 booths. At the counter stood a boy, little older than me, wearing a red muscle shirt and a blue and white hat over his black hair. Looking towards the right, I saw Kei and Yuki talking to a woman a few years older than them.
She was tan, with dark grey hair pulled back into a bun held only by chopsticks. She wore a light blue Chinese shirt with dark blue pants and grey slip-ons. She smiled warmly at me and I did an attempt at a smile from underneath my hood.
"Oh, Akina, take off the hood! Nobody here cares what color your hair is." Yuki said, exasperated, and I hesitated before reaching up. Taking a hold of my hood, I hesitated again before pulling it back from my face. As I did that, the door opened and from the corner of my eye, I saw the three from earlier walk in. They stopped and I saw the one boy-Sue's brother- study me.
"Sue, Tobey, Sid, come meet two of my old friends."
~SID'S P.O.V. ~
"Remember boys: wash and rinse twice." Sue said and I groaned as we approached Wu's Garden. I paused and looked at the dark green minivan; that had been parked there when we left earlier. Only then it had someone in it. Now, we were just being watched by a dog.
The dog was huge! I mean, I was surprised that the dog's head wasn't stuck in the window! It was black and fluffy with white spots on its ears. Seeing me look at it, its tongue fell out the side and its tail thumped against the seats; that tongue was enormous!
"Dude, check out that dog. It's huge!" Tobey exclaimed and I nodded.
"Yeah, it is. Come on, we need to check in with Nana." Sue said as she opened the door. Stepping in, we stopped as a person-a girl, from the looks of her figure- removed their hood while standing near Nana.
Flaming bright ruby red hair cascaded down her back, ending about halfway. Her hands were bandaged-wonder what for- and sunglasses adorned her face, hiding her eyes from view. Her skin was a weird color; neither pale nor tan, but some kind of mix. She was about Sue's height, maybe an inch or two taller. Her mouth was serious, her lips small but full; it spelled determined. The way she stood screamed 'fighter', with her shoulders tense as if she was expecting someone to try and start something.
"Sue, Tobey, Sid, come meet two of my old friends." Nana said and we walked over, to stand next to the girl. She moved an inch away, as if she was nervous or wanted to avoid something. "Kids, this is Yuki and Kei Ichihara." She said, motioning towards the man and woman sitting in the same booth.
"Hello."
"Hi."
"Nice to meet you guys!" Kei and Yuki nodded, smiling.
"This, kids, is their daughter, Akina Wolf. Akina, this is Sid, Sue and Tobey." Nana said, motioning towards the girl and then towards each of us, and Tobey turned to her, even though she wasn't looking at us.
"These are your parents? But you're not Chinese!" He exclaimed and both Sue and I groaned while I face-palmed; way to go, Tobey. Get her pissed off at us.
"I'm adopted."
Both Sue and my heads snapped up; really?
"Really? Us too." Sue said and just like that, her shoulders loosened; was she expecting us to do something to her? From the way she was acting, I'd say that she'd been made fun of over the fact that she's not Chinese and the fact that she's adopted.
"Aki, we're not outside; you can remove your sunglasses." Mrs. Ichihara said kindly and just like that, Akina froze, her shoulder tense once again.
"Kina, they're not going to do anything." Mr. Ichihara said soothingly and slowly, she reached up, grabbed her sunglasses, and hesitantly, pulled them off her face. At first, her eyes were closed, but then she slowly opened them and turned her head to look at us and we gasped.
Her eyes were comprised of different colors! They were a bright ocean blue color but had ring of purple on the outside with a ring of green underneath and surrounding the pupil was a band of gold. Not only that, but her pupils wasn't round; they were slit like a cat's!
"She has to wear sunglasses outside because the light hurts her eyes." Mrs. Ichihara said as Akina turned her head slightly away from us and her bangs fell over her face, hiding it from view.
"Whoa… her eyes are cool-looking! Come on, you gotta tell me where you got those contacts!" Tobey exclaimed and she glanced over at us.
"You'll have to excuse Tobey; he's easily excitable. Just in case, I'm Sue. The quiet one is my brother Sid and you already know about Tobey." Sue said, extending her hand. After a couple of seconds, she turned to face us directly.
"As you already know, I'm Akina. Yuki and Kei usually call me either Aki or Kina." She said, reaching out and grasping Sue's hand, showing that the bandages were wrapped completely around the knuckles but ended at the wrist.
~AKINA'S P.O.V. ~
I shook hands with Sue and then, suddenly, I heard a booming voice.
"SID! SUE! TOBEY! YOU HAVE DELIVERIES; GET ON IT!" I jumped and spun around fighting the urge to get into a defensive position, but my upper body was already in one. Behind me, I heard them sigh/groan.
"Kids, perhaps Akina would like to accompany you on your deliveries. Akina, stay close to Sue; that way she can show you the roads and neighborhoods of Chinatown." Sues' Nana said and I bowed my head.
"Of course, um… I'm sorry but I don't know what to call you." I said sheepishly and she smiled.
"You may call me Nana. Now, go, before Calvin gets even more upset." She said and I nodded as Sid, Sue and Tobey grabbed the bags and I followed them out of the restaurant.
~KEI'S P.O.V. ~
I watched as Kina walked out of the restaurant and then turned back to Mei, my face serious.
"So, Kong Li has returned?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yes, and he is after the magic cookbook. I have trained Sue, Sid and Tobey in the arts of kung fu so that they can defend Chinatown, as it was said in the prophecy." She said and Yuki looked at me.
"What about Aki?" She asked Mei looked at her sharply.
"What about her? Speaking of which, you guys haven't exactly told me why you moved back here, or why you adopted a child in your age." She said and I sighed, folding my hands in front of my face.
"We adopted Kina because… she has no memory of the first 10 years of her life. Not only that, but she's a fighter; this will be her 8th school that she's attended since we adopted her on the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia. Yuki found her wandering around in the woods. When she asked her for her name, she answered but that's all she knows. She's been made fun for the fact that we're Chinese and she's not, she's adopted and the fact that she's not only a different color but her hair and eye color isn't exactly normal for someone with skin color like hers." I replied and Mei's eyes widened before quickly narrowing.
"I see. I saved Sue, Sid and Tobey from an orphanage but they are the three from the prophecy that will become kung fu masters who will save Chinatown from Kong Li." She said and Yuki gave me an uneasy look.
"Mei… our Master gave me and Kei a prophecy shortly before we moved, before the whole mess with Kong Li happened. He told us that we would find a child, pure of heart yet with will as strong as steel, help the three save Chinatown from evil. I believe… I believe that Aki is the child foretold in the prophecy."
Uh-oh! Sounds like there's another prophecy concerning Chinatown; wonder what will happen!
PLEASE help me keep the characters that are ALREADY in this show in character; let me know if ANY of them get out of it for some reason!
Please leave helpful reviews; any and ALL flames shall be crammed down Kong Li's throat. Why? Because it TICKLES ME!
