AN:/One-sided Chamiko, not sure yet if I want to make it acknowledged on both sides. But do respond in my poll if I should make this longer or not. Right now I'm settled on keeping it as it is, but the idea to expand it, is in the back of my mind.
Disclaimer: Xiaolin Showdown belongs to Christy Hui, this story and the idea behind it, belong to me.
If I can't have her…
Chase wonders as he watches the Xiaolin monks train. He's not far away, but he's hidden himself in the shadows, and even cast a glamour spell to make sure he stays hidden. He likes watching them train, but most of all, he likes watching the first female Xiaolin monk become a woman without her friends even noticing. He notices, how could he not?
When he met her, she was small, delicate, fragile, but with a fiery disposition to match her Dragon element and a temper like no other. Then as she aged, as she and the rest of the young monks were taught about the vows they would have to take one day, she began to change. She is taller now, calluses cover her hands and feet, and the many scars show that she left behind her fragility. Her temper has lessened, her passion grows everyday, as does her power.
After six long years, learning to control her power, learning to be a Xiaolin monk and one day a Xiaolin Dragon, she was a woman now. And in another year, on her 21st birthday, she would be untouchable.
Those were the rules of being a Xiaolin Dragon Warrior. Once you are 21, you make the vow, and leave behind your old life completely. You give up your heritage. You give up any claims you have to material holdings outside of the Temple. And most of all, you give up your family, and any chance you had of creating one.
The Dragon of Earth, the first to turn 21, almost didn't make the vow. Clay had waited until the very last minute before he arrived in the temple's meditation hall a month ago, and swore himself forever to the Heylin-Xiaolin war.
The Dragon of Wind will also have trouble when it's finally his turn. Although Raimundo would be having trouble agreeing to give up his pursuit of pretty girls, instead of Clay's decision to give up his family.
The Dragon of Water will not hesitant in the slightest. Omi is, after all, an orphan, whose only family has always been the temple. And he's never looked at a girl the way Raimundo does, nor at a boy for that matter.
The Dragon of Fire…oh, how Chase wishes that like he, she would refuse the oath and leave the temple. But he knows Kimiko will more than likely take the oath with barely a thought. Over the years, she had slowly eased her dependence on her father until she hardly ever needed him for something. And she always spurned the affections of every person that tried to bestow them on her. Except for the one person that admired her, and refused to show it.
Chase refuses to let anyone know that she's often on his mind. When in public, he all but ignores the beautiful warrior and doesn't even include her in any of his many plans. Despite how well her fire-power could help him in taking over the world. He's certain that if he ever gets a taste of having her by his side for even a minute, he would never be able to let it go. And then she'd have a real reason to hate him besides being on opposite sides, which is never an actual reason.
If I can't have her…
His stray thought from earlier begins to repeat in his head. He tries his best not to let his mind finish the thought. But all the possibilities begin to flood his mind as he continues to watch her fight off her current opponent, Omi.
Then why should they?…if I can't have her, then I need something to remember her by…if I can't have her, then can't I at least have a small part of her?
If I can't have her…
Then I should have her child.
That last one repeats the most, despite it's impossibility. He growls lightly as he tells his mind to shut up. But instead of his mind quieting, the words become louder as a part of him realizes what a perfect solution it would be.
Child. Child. Her child should be ours. Our child. Ours. An heir to remind us of her.
But he knows she would never let him touch her. She's never looked at him that way. And he would never taint what should be a pleasurable memory, by raping her and seeing her fear and hatred of him. The only way he could get such a child would be with magic that he has never used. He'd have to study for who knows how long, just to make sure there wouldn't be any ill effects towards her. It would be tricky…but…perhaps it could be done?
He watches as Omi bows out and switches places with Raimundo. His wind attacks slice strands of her hair a few inches shorter. As the strands float to the ground, Chase remembers reading about a golem spell once that maybe he could use. He would have to alter it, of course. The spell called for one of his own ribs in an old biblical sense. It would create an opposite sex golem that would more or less be a clone of the caster and serve the caster until her dying breath.
He could change the potion somehow, include her DNA, her genes. Make the golem a child of them both. Then he could raise his little…phoenix. Always have a reminder of the woman he loves without her knowing. He could get over this obsession of her.
But changing a spell is always so risky…perhaps he should go to Spicer instead and have him combine their DNA with the modern magic known as science. If it weren't for his DNA, Chase would go to one of the many clinics in the world and have it done that way, but those scientists, having no clue about the War, would think there was something wrong with his genes and refuse him no matter how he threatened them or paid them. As for Spicer…it's tempting, very tempting…
If only the boy genius wasn't such a loud-mouth. He would let it slip, accidentally of course, that a child was being made for his evil idol's evil plans. Then the monks would try to capture the child and would more than likely succeed. There's also the fact that Spicer would ask why Chase would combine his DNA with Kimiko's; after a day where the monks and he teamed up for an hour and faced DNA-targeting turrets, the Heylin Dragon knew that Spicer had the DNA of everyone in the War in his database.
Yes, it seems like he'll have to settle for magic in this case where science would be better equipped. Chase watches Raimundo bow out and switch places with Clay. The Dragon of Earth starts their spar by asking if his fiery friend is ready to take a break. Chase smirks when her response is a fireball.
He may not be able to have her, but he can have the next best thing. The daughter she'll never know she has.
