Powers of Yin and Yang
Chapter One- An Invitation
Things were very peaceful after Dai had been destroyed. The villagers were overjoyed to have the creepy house gone as well. Destiny had informed the residents of the Jade Palace that Dai's kind-hearted mother is living it in Heaven.
At the Jade Palace, everything was pretty well. It had been six months since Dai's defeat, and everything was almost back to normal. Zhan shi and his pack still stayed nearby the palace, and Shifu visited whenever he could. Since Lang the Werewolf Spirit had left him to be Guardian of the Werewolves, Shifu's eyes went back to normal. When he transformed, his fur was reddish-brown instead of black with a white starred chest. But he was still fierce if made angry. Po was still cooking his delicious meals for his master and fellow warriors. The Five still trained hard. Tai Lung, Mei, and Kiki went back to their home.
The only thing that made everyone sad was a certain dragon that was missing from their lives.
Everybody was extremely upset when Lin had to leave with her sister, Daiyu. Tai Lung and his family still missed Daiyu, who was something of a sister to Kiki. Of all the people who were sad, Shifu seemed the saddest. His heart had been broken just enough that he was crying himself to sleep the night after Lin had left. Lin had been like no other friend he ever had. The little dragon was the only one who knew how to make him smile when he was miserable. Now that she was gone, it seemed like an arrow had been shot into his heart and the wound wouldn't heal.
But with every sadness comes something good.
One day, Po came into breakfast holding a scroll in his hands. He tossed it to Shifu before finishing cooking breakfast. Shifu read the scroll and smiled.
"Well what do you know!" he said happily.
"What is it?" Viper asked.
"You all remember Kivu and Shinjitsu, right?" Shifu asked. Everyone nodded happily. Kivu was a zebra with magic powers who helped them defeat Dai and escape the haunted house. Shinjitsu was a nymph that was the daughter to the Greek goddess for balance and revenge, Nemesis. The two of them were lovers, and Kivu had been planning on marrying Shinjitsu.
"What's up?" Po asked as he served breakfast.
"Well, it says that Kivu proposed his and Shinjitsu's marriage to Nemesis, who said yes!" Shifu said. Everyone cheered. "They're inviting us to the wedding."
"When is it?" Tigress asked.
"It's in two weeks." Shifu said. "If we agree, they'll come and pick us up. I'm going. Anyone else?"
"Totally!" Po said.
"You have to come, Po." Shifu said. "It says here that Kivu wants you to cook."
"K." Po shrugged.
"All in favor of going say 'Aye'." Shifu said. Everyone shouted, "Aye!"
Shifu smiled. "Alright then. I'll write back." He walked off to do so.
"That's so great that Kivu and Shinjitsu are getting married." Viper said. "It's been so long since we've seen them."
"Yeah, I can't wait." Crane said. "I can't wait to see Kivu and get to know him better."
"I hope they like my cooking." Po said.
"Everyone loves your cooking." Mantis said. "Although I wonder why they'd pick us up?"
"Maybe the wedding is held someplace really secret and peaceful." Tigress suggested.
"Would they hold it in Heaven?" Monkey asked.
"Not if they're inviting mortals." Crane said. Everyone shrugged and ate.
A few days later, after the sun and set, everyone was waiting in the courtyard, where Kivu and Shinjitsu said they'd pick them up.
"I still don't see how they're going to pick us up." Po said.
"They're all-powerful immortals." Shifu said. "They'll think of something." Suddenly, there was a strange buzzing sound. Everyone looked around and it was Crane that noticed one of the stars above starting to shoot down…..right towards them!
"Hit the dirt!" Crane yelled. Everyone dove in different directions as the "star" crash landed in the spot they used to occupy. When they looked back, there was a strange wagon in the spot they were in a split second ago. The wagon looked like it was literally pulled out of the sky; it was black with white dots that looked like stars. Pulling the wagon was two, pitch black wild mustangs. Sitting in the driver and shotgun seat of the wagon were two nymphs.
One was a girl human, with pale skin and short cropped hair. She wore a skirt and a long sleeved shirt that was woven from grass. A rose was tucked behind her ear. Her hair, clothes, and flower behind her ear were as black as raven feathers. Her eyes were golden It was Shinjitsu, the nymph daughter to Nemesis.
The other nymph was a boy human. He had a very strong and burly built, his muscles clearly seen under his shirt. He was wearing a sleeveless white shirt and loose black pants. His skin was slightly tan. His hair was really kind of weird. It was really spiky and black-and-white striped. Nobody knew who it was at all, but his kind brown eyes looked familiar.
It wasn't until Shinjitsu said, "Aw, Kivu, darling, I believe we scared them." that they realized it was Kivu. Everyone emerged from their hiding places to greet the couple-to-be.
"You turned into a nymph?" Po asked Kivu.
The zebra/nymph laughed. "Yep." Kivu said. "I thought it'd make the relationship better." Shinjitsu smiled warmly and kissed Kivu's cheek.
"You didn't have to do that." She said. "Alright! Everyone climb aboard!"
As everyone climbed into the wagon, Viper asked, "Where's the wedding?"
"In one of my mother's secret temples." Shinjitsu said. "It's in Greece."
"What's with the wagon?" Po inquired.
"We'll be using star travel to get to Greece faster." Kivu said. He instructed everyone to hold on tight for the take off. Everyone obeyed, and Kivu, who was driving, whipped the reins and the horses took off. Everyone held on tightly as the horse galloped off, faster and faster, before quickly ascending into the sky. They went up at almost a 90 degree angle before they evened out and the ride was a lot slower and smoother. Everyone relaxed, but not before Po got airsick and had to throw up in the bucket Kivu had stowed on board for just that reason.
While Tigress and Viper chatted away with the bride-to-be, Shifu moved up into the shotgun seat next to Kivu.
"I still can't believe you're getting married." Shifu said.
"I know." Kivu said. "It took a few tries to convince Nemesis, but it worked out."
"What's Nemesis like?" Shifu asked.
"Well, she's the goddess of revenge." Kivu said. "But she mostly stands for balance. Don't ever get her angry, unless you want to be reduced to a puddle of goo." Shifu gulped, and Kivu laughed. "She usually likes to stay in human form, and she's a good friend as long as you're on her good side." Shifu and Kivu chuckled, and Shifu found himself staring up and the stars. He couldn't stop thinking about Lin, and he sighed. Kivu seemed to read his mind.
"Thinking about Yin and Yang?" he asked.
"Yeah." Shifu said. "Mostly Lin." Even though Lin's real name was Yin, Shifu always called her Lin.
"You miss her a lot, don't you?" Kivu asked.
Shifu had a pained look when he said, "Yes." Kivu smiled.
"You know, I invited her to the wedding."
Shifu's eyes widened and he stared at Kivu, who laughed.
"Are you serious?!" Shifu cried.
"Absolutely." Kivu assured. "I invited Lin, Daiyu, Destiny, even Narrisa."
"Oh that can't be good." Shifu muttered. They laughed.
Shifu was excited now. He was finally going to see Lin again.
He couldn't wait.
