Life and Death
Chapter 2: A lost message
Yin ran around in the dojo, doing what she would usually never do, she digged in all trash cans in the dojo for the letter. She had told her Mom to throw the missing letter away and after 3 trash cans, she smelled worse than Yang after a cheese and stink bomb fight with one of his friends. The pink rabbit was disgusted by herself, digging around in all that dirty trash was absolutly not like her. But that letter was very important to her, even though she still didn`t know why for god`s sake she would agree with Yuck...
After some time the girl had finishes digging in trash, fruitless, much to her disappointment. Yin sat on the stairs in front of the dojo with a sigh. She did not realize her father coming out of the dojo and immediatly holding his nose when catching Yin`s stench. "Holy mother of foo! Yin! What did you do?!", the aged panda asked his student, who now turned around and looked up to him. "I searched something...", Yin replied. Telling her father about the many letters and what they said was not really the best idea to do. So she just made her explanation a bit shorter.
Yo made a confused face and asked another question: "Did you dig in the trash to do so? You smell worse than Yang after a cheese and stink bomb fight!" Yin nodded slightly. "I told Mom to throw away something and now I need it..." Yo let the hand go off of his nose as he saw the sad condition Yin was in. He sat next to his beloved daughter and asked more questions. "What is that something you need now? Maybe I saw whatever it was." Yin thought a minute about what to say. If she says 'a letter' he`ll of course ask what kind of letter. And then she`d have to tell him... The only thing she could do to not tell her father the truth was, of course, lying. "Oh, it was my... toothbrush." In her mind Yin cursed herself, why didn`t she think of a GOOD excuse? Usually that wouldn`t have been hard for her...
The panda stared at her in disbelief. "You`re sad because of your toothbrush? What´s the big deal? We`ll just get you a new one." Master Yo answered, but he actually didn`t believe Yin. He knew that she was lying, he could tell by her eyes, they always looked empty when she lied. And considering this horrible excuse for her sadness, it wasn`t hard for anybody to find out that she was lying. "Yin, tell me the real reason. I know that you`re lying, so why won`t you just tell me?"
Yin let out a deep sigh. "Well, it`s kinda.... secret... " Yo smiled slightly. "Something between your mother and you, I suppose, well, in that case, you better ask her. Maybe she forgot to throw it away and now the 'thing' is lying somewhere around in the dojo." With those words the panda stood up and left into the outhouse, leaving Yin behind with the idea to ask Yane.
The pink girl went inside the dojo. She walked over to the kitchen and opened the door quitly. Yane was, like most of the time, cleaning the kitchen, but without any sign of boredom about the activity she was doing. Yin started talking. "Mom...?" She said quitly. Yane turned around and looked at the little rabbit, which was standing in the doorway. "Oh, Yin, what`s wrong?" "Where`s the letter I gave you yesterday?" Yane made a confused face. "Letter? What letter? You didn`t give me any letter yesterday." The purple rabbit was about to go back to cleaning when Yin continued. "Of course I did. Don`t you remember? I told you to throw the letter away." Yane thought for a minute but answered with the same confused face as before. "No, you didn`t. Yesterday I was almost the whole day gone. You didn`t give me anything to throw away. All these days before yesterday you did, yesterday not." Now Yin was confused, could it be that she had forgotton to give her mother a letter yesterday? But if yes then where was the letter?
The mother said something else "Well, maybe you didn`t recieve a letter at all yesterday and just wanted to give it to me, in case you would have recieved it. All those other letters you gave me are now destroyed, anyways." She started cleaning the floor again. Then Yin remembered something. Right, yesterday she actually hadn`t recieved a letter at all. She remembered that she had thought Yuck wouldn`t write any more letters. She had been wrong.
Yin thought 'There are only two options left then. Either the letter is already destroyed or.... it got lost and is maybe lying still at the office of the mailman.' At this thought, Yin didn`t lose another second and started running out of the dojo, into the city. Before she could reach the office of the mailman, she slipped on the wet ground and fell. "Damn it!" she cursed, stood up and went into the office.
A pig mailman sat behind a desk, writing things on a computer. Around Yin were huge stacks of letters. All of them were sorted after the type of letter. Big, small and even some packages.
"Um... excuse me?" Yin said, seeing the mailman turning towards her and smiling at her in a friendly way. "Good day, young lady, what`s the matter?" he asked with his awkward squeaky voice. "Well, I expected to get a letter, but it didn`t come, so I thought it`s maybe still here." The pig`s smile went away. "I`m sorry, but searching for a letter here would take ages. If you know the size and color of the envelope, we could maybe help you more." Yin smiled "I do!" She pulled out the letter from Yuck, expecting to recognize the exact color and the size. But sadly, the letter was completly destroyed. "What?! But... I- how- argh!" Yin got mad. "This must have happened when I fell just a few minutes ago..." She sighed. "Well" the mailman started "You can search for a letter, but it`ll take much time..." "I don`t have got any time!" Yin replied, realizing too late that she was screaming at the innocent pig. The man just stared at her until she said a softly "Fine..." and went to one of the stacks, she took a bunch of letters and flipped through them.
While doing so she cursed quitly, but loud enough for the mailman to hear "Damn mailman... couldn`t even bring me this stupid letter from jail ... now I`ll-" "Wait, what? Where did the letter come from?", the pig suddenly asked. Yin looked at him, her gaze hiding a hint of curiousity. Was there a possibilty that he knew about her letter? "I was supposed to recieve one from one of the guys in jail in the west of this town." The mailman smiled again." Well, in that case, I can help you!" He took out a box happily and showed it to Yin. "We only recieve a low amount of letters from jail per day and so we keep them seperate." "Why`s that?", Yin asked. "Um, uh... we just...do it." The pig tried to find an answer, but couldn`t, not caring anymore, he took out five letters and flipped through them reading the people who were supposed to get them. "Let`s see... Jolie, Max, Lilly, Yin, Sh-" Before he could finish, Yin grabbed the letter on which stood 'Yin'. She smiled. "Thanks!" And ran home to open the letter.
As she was back in her room, sitting on her bed she opened the letter and read every single line carefully.
Dearest Yin,
I hope you are going to read this letter, because this one is more important than the other ones... I have an offer for you. I know you might not trust me anymore, but at least think about it. I would like you to help me breaking out from jail, for that I will help you with your happy end. In a way, you`ll like. I promise you this isn`t a trap, but you have to believe me. I accept any of your choices, just write me back
Love you, Yuck
