I really have been in the One-Shot mood lately… I really feel like writing One-Shots involving Chase and Kimiko… It kinda sucks cuz I have other stories that need work… BUT I FEEL LIKE WRITING OTHER THINGS! Gah! It's because I didn't finish Shadows! DANGIT! WAI SHADOWS? WAI!
But uh… Yeah… Bear with me as I continue on my obsessive One-Shot streak…
Wishing for a Soul
"Chase, one day you will have to live up to your destiny. You're going to be the greatest warrior that ever lived," the tall man with the odd mustache told him. Chase Young, currently a Xiaolin Dragon in training, stared up at the man in wonder.
"But if I become the greatest that ever lived, what will happen after I die…?" Chase inquired, calmly tilting his head to the side.
The man with the mustache sighed. "It is uncertain. All that is known is that you will one day be the greatest warrior who ever lived… Perhaps your heir shall take on that title and inherit your destiny…" he offered the idea to Chase.
Chase looked down at the ground. The heir had come up again. Heir. Heir. Heir! Why did everyone obsess over him having an heir? He didn't even know a girl! Let alone like one! How could he ever have children? He had never particularly liked other kids anyway. Why should he have to suffer through having to raise one?
The man said softly, "I am going to give you one destiny, Chase…" Chase looked up at him, his big brown eyes wide with wonder yet again. The man smiled, placed his hand upon Chase's head, ruffled his hair, and said, "You, Chase Young, one day to be the greatest warrior ever to walk the earth, will someday find a girl with the soul of pure light. When you meet this girl, she will be the one to bear your child and give you true happiness."
Chase blinked and asked softly, "But how will I know when I find her…?"
The man thought for a moment and then replied, "You will know when you see her harness the light from above…"
"But…what's that supposed to mean?" Chase asked, staring up at the man in confusion. The man smiled and let go of Chase's head. He then walked away, leaving Chase to ponder what he meant.
Chase trained alone that night, as he always did, and he contemplated what his master could possibly have meant.
"The light from above…?" Chase repeated, just as his fist spilt the tree he was punching in half and sent it tumbling down. He looked at the hand and saw the purple bruise slowly starting to form. Chase ignored the stinging pain in his knuckles and cracked them.
He looked up at the sky and whispered softly, "What if I never find her…?"
A single star darted across the starry sky and Chase quickly closed his eyes to wish.
His voice was barely audible, but the winds carried his wish across the time stream.
"I wish to find this girl… Even if I have to wait a thousand years… I wish to find her…"
Omigosh! This can't be a One-Shot! I MUST CONTINUE THIS ONE TOOOOOOO!
Just not right yet….
This one will be updated less frequently than ANY of my other stories…! It will be my side project…
