Well, I am alive. Just so you all realize. I've just been a busy bee… Too much to do, not enough time… ANYWAY… This is a one-shot thing… I guess… Hell, I dunno! It can be whatever anybody wants it to be! If you guys want more, then fuck it! It'll be an all-out story! You guys deserve new stuff after that awful wait…!

Xiaolin Woman

Dear Diary-

I never thought anything like this would happen to me, but here I am. At a place called the Xiaolin Temple, being told that I'm going to be the Xiaolin Dragon of Fire someday. It's an incredible feeling really- unbelievable, yes, but still incredible. It's like a rush of adrenaline just to feel flames flowing from my fingertips. I've been here for a while now, and I've met some real characters. Raimundo, my Brazilian buddy who loves soccer is the Dragon of Wind. Omi, the little guy with the big yellow head is the Dragon of Water. Clay, the buff cowboy from America is the Dragon of Earth. Dojo is our dragon- and he's adorable no matter how gross he is. Master Fung is our teacher; wise and Chinese, just like the cheesy Hollywood movies… We met Jack Spicer- a complete geek who's more annoying than anything: he wants to take over the world. (He's a Heylin) We met Vlad, a Russian who liked us at first, but then became Heylin pretty quickly. We met Jermaine, and he was really cool: luckily, he's a good guy. Then there's Ashley- a cat obsessed freaky Heylin girl who hasn't really done anything of interest in a while… We met Wuya, who's a pin in the butt no matter what form she's in- she's a Heylin. We ran across Chase Young after her, I think… He's an immortal dragon demon man…thing… (He's Heylin, go figure…) And then we met Hannibal, who apparently is a giant talking bean who hates Chase Young, even though they're both Heylin. I don't get that… They're on the same side, yet they hate each other… It's just weird… Whatever… We met a talking evil plant… then we killed it… Um… We froze an evil mermaid once. That was pretty cool. Um… Jack kidnapped me and replaced me with a robot once. It took the guys a long time to realize something was up. Idiots… Hope nothing like that ever happens again… At one point, I remember, we had to team up with Chase Young, to save the world from giant evil spiders… Now that I think of it… we've teamed up with Chase Young a few times to save the world… He has tried to destroy the world a few times, too… But still, he has helped us out a lot more than a normal Heylin should… Oh, Omi had to travel to the past once! He met Chase and Dashi when they were younger! He was good then, that's why…! Oh well… Maybe I'll write more later… Maybe not… Personally I've never been one for writing- I prefer typing…

I closed my little red diary and shoved it into my pillowcase. Getting to my feet, I carefully pulled on whatever elaborate outfit I wanted to wear today in silence. I chose a fancy red gown and a black shrug, plus matching black fingerless gloves. I applied a bit of make-up before slipping on comfortable black shoes that I could still fight in, should the need arise.

Because of my outfits, the boys never really understood that I was just as good a fighter as they were- I just preferred to look good while I did. After all, when your opponents vary from disgusting warty beans to flawless princes who never sweat a beat, you have to be prepared to look better than all of them. (Of course, saying Chase never even sweat, that makes it kinda hard to look better, doesn't it…?) Dang. I need to think more on how I phrase my thoughts… Wait…

I groaned to myself at my own stupidity before pulling open my curtains and walking out into the hall. Normally if Fung caught me in outfits as elaborate as this before we left for a Wu, he'd have me go back and change into my normal robes. Lucky for me, Dojo was already raving about a new one.

All four of us hopped onto his back after he multiplied his size by about a thousand and we flew off. Raimundo teased me for my outfit, saying that Queen Elizabeth wanted her dress back. So I punched him…

"So what's the Wu, Dojo?" I asked, seeing as how the others weren't going to.

Dojo shivered and said, "It's called Aphrodite's Cursed." He pronounced cursed like curse-ed, then he explained what its function was. "It can cause anyone and anything to fall madly in love with the user and cause them to obey their every beck and call. Even inanimate objects… So if one wanted to, say the Dragon of Water, wanted to control Earth, but couldn't, they could make Earth fall in love with them and obey their will… Very dangerous around Heylins…"

"Seriously," Raimundo said, "Hannibal's bad enough as it is, can you imagine him being able to control our elements?"

Clay commented in response, "I was actually picturin' Wuya controllin' one o' us and makin' us turn evil for 'er…"

Omi decided he had to be part of the conversation, "Or perhaps Spicer could make Kimiko obey him," he then muttered softly, "Not that it will help him much…"

I heard his comment and growled angrily, "OR MAYBE Chase could use it to get Dojo to willingly give himself up to be made into SOUP."

Dojo whimpered at that and I apologized. "Sorry, Doj, I just worry that he'll try that… I don't wanna lose you buddy." Dojo smiled and seemed satisfied with my apology. He then flew us down and landed us down in New York City again.

"Why are we here?" Clay asked, hopping off Dojo's back.

"Because I wanted a hot dog!" Dojo shouted, "Why do ya think! We're here to find the Wu!" Dojo then slithered up onto my out held arm and he muttered, "Now if my calculations are correct… It should be due West of here…"

"You heard the lizard!" Raimundo said, "March!" And they walked in the direction Dojo was pointing. They got some weird looks, Omi mostly- I got a few whistles from some boys around my age, and many many creepy gazes from a bunch of older guys. Maybe the outfit was a bad idea.

At one point a woman asked if she could have a photo with me. The guys groaned and took Dojo with them while I stopped for the picture. After the flash of the camera, the girl thanked me and happily ran off to show her friends. As for me, I turned my head multiple times to try and find where the others had run off to.

Crap. I was lost in New York City. This was not good… Maybe I'd see a familiar face? Jermaine? Jack? Heck, I'd settle for Hannibal, Wuya, or Chase right now! I just needed to see someone I knew so I didn't feel so lost…!

Frowning, I began walking in the direction I remembered Dojo had been pointing. I had gotten fairly far until someone grabbed my arm and I was thrown into an alleyway. Throwing my eyelids open and glaring at my attacker, I found multiple older, creepy looking men were actually my attackers. Great…

They grabbed at me, and within an instant I had them all unconscious on the ground, twitching in pain… It was too easy. Who did they think they were dealing with? I was the female Xiaolin warrior. I was the Xiaolin Woman.

I think I'll continue this. Why not? Maybe I'll make it into a romance, or keep it centered around Kimi… (I'm more partial to romances, myself…)
