The swan princess(chapter two)

Chapter 2 finally here! Sorry for the long wait but I was on a trip that took longer than I expected, anyway I spent 2 days and nights to update this as soon as possible. Hope you like this and thanks for the reviews!

As they took flight the monks(without Kimiko) stared one last time at the beautiful lake where there friend had suddenly disappeared without a trace. It was hard for them to leave knowing that maybe just maybe if they had look a bit harder they might have found her, but this wasn't the time for regrets for each one of the 3 boys made a promise inside of them without the others knowing to never stop looking until they had found and recovered the dragon of fire.

The way back to the temple had never been this quiet and long, while the boys were all make promises and praying that she was alright Dojo was contemplating on weather to tell them or not what has just happened for he knew what happened, he knew where Kimiko was, and had a good idea of what Chase had done, but decided to speak with the wise master Fung first.

As if sensing that something wasn't right, master Fung was waiting for then outside the temple, worry plastered on his face the moment he saw Dojo land and only 3 of his students on his back.

"Young monks, what has happened and where is Kimiko?" the boys didn't answer immediately just stared at the ground with guilty and sad expressions on their faces, Dojo on the other hand looked thoughtful and a little worried while he slithered on master Fungs shoulder.

Raimund feeling that being the leader spoke first even though he didn't wanted to "We don't know where she is master Fung, while we were getting the Wu we were attacked by Chase Wuya and Jack.." "Clay was fighting Wuya, Raimundo was fighting Chases jungle cats, while I was destroying Jacks robots, but most out of the ordinary .." "Unusual" Raimundo corrected Omi.

"Is that Chase attacked Kimiko, he never attacked her, usually he would go for me or maybe Raimundo here but never Kimiko" "The lil'fela is right. Does it have to do with the locket cuz it was at Kimiko when he attacked and then they all retreated.

All out of the blue and Kimiko and the locket were gone?" Clay stated.

Master Fung thought for a second than said "Perhaps but for know my young monk you should all go to bed for it is late and this day had been eventful as it was, rest for the tomorrow you shall prepare to pay a visit to Chase Young".

At this the monks bowed and left to their sleeping quarters all thinking about tomorrow and what will it bring.

After they were out of ear shot Dojo finally had the courage to speak "Master Fung I know what happened to Kimiko and it is related to the locket"

"I know Dojo, it seems as the locket after 1000 years had finally found a suitable girl for the title of Swan princess warrior" Fung said this while a small smile crept on his lips.

Dojo on the other hand just looked confused at this for as long as he knew the situation was not at all funny.

"But you do know what this means right master Fung? You do know that Kimiko is in danger right now." Dojo stated quite worried.

"I am aware that this is not a good situation but as you know this title hasn't been given to any girl warrior in over 1000 years and especially one as young as Kimiko, but I am also aware that it involves danger especially from Chase Young who is the cause of all this. Tell me Dojo what happened 1500 years ago with Chase, Dashi, their sensei Hinata and her daughter Sakura and what is the purpose of why Hinata has created this locket to keep her daughter away from Chase Young?" Fung asked Dojo who took a few minutes to recall what exactly happened before he spoke again .

"Well as you know Hinata was the sensei of the first four elemental dragons, meaning the sensei of Dashi, Guan, Chase and Wuya but Hinata also had a daughter Sakura who was her only child and a few years younger than her four students." Dojo paused a minute before he continued.

"Wuya was the first to turn Heylin and after Dashi had trapped here in that box well Hinata brought Sakura to the temple to replace Wuya and keep the teem united…Ohh how I remember that girl…she was only 19 when Hinata brought her, and I must say that her resemblance to Kimiko is astonishing sure she was older than Kimiko is now, taller but had the same raven black hair, same temper and of course the same crystal blue eyes. Sakura was the first Swan princess warrior and she was granted this title because of an unique ability of hers to transform into a swan…"

"Dojo tell me is this what happened to Kimiko?" master Fung who was listening quietly suddenly interrupted . "What exactly does this ability and title has to do with this and what Hinata did?"

"I was just getting there" Dojo responded "Please continue Dojo"

"Well the fact is that Chase and Sakura fell in love with each other and Hinata wasn't so happy about it, because she somehow knew that Chase will fallow Wuyas example and turn Heylin as well, and he did so she forbid her daughter to see him , but even thought he was Heylin Chase still loved Sakura and she loved him back and they started meeting in secret or so they thought….Hinata knew she knew they were still meeting so she did the most horrible ever" the dragon paused for a secong while taking a sip of tea than continued.

"Hinata was the only one who knew about her daughters ability to turn into a swan but she also knew that this can only happen in daylight, so she put a spell on her daughters locket to give her the ability to transform even at night.

Sakura was so happy about it that every night she would transform into a swan and to meet Chase, but still Chase didn't know about the fact that she could transform even at night… so one evening Hinata went to Chase and told him that if he could kill the swan that was in the middle of the lake at midnight then she would give him Sakura in marriage just as he proposed to her….of course he accepted this….and it so happened that the swan in the middle of the lake at midnight was Sakura and…well….I guess you can figure out that…..he killed her ." a tear fell down on the dragons cheek.

"When he realized this Chase was so mad that he almost killed Hinata for this, but here is where the prophecy comes along when a suitable girl is chosen and the locket is activated on her.

Every night for 7 days she will turn into a swan and every day until the last night of the spell , Chase will come and ask this girl to marry him if for 6 days she refuse then on the last night of the spell when she will turn into a swan Chase will try to kill her, if he doesn't succeed that the girl will be free of the spell and also rise to the title of swan princess."

"Or she will be killed on the last night of the spell, is that right Dojo?" Fung ended for him.

"Yes…and the reason for the marriage proposal is that Chase had vowed to marry the swan princess… meaning the girl under the spell"

"So I see, the monks do not know anything about this right Dojo? " "Absolutely nothing, I was thinking on telling them but decided to talk to you first" Dojo replied.

"Good. Tomorrow we shall tell them about this but for now let them rest and also at sunrise I want you to return to swan lake and let Kimiko know of the situation but be sure to be back before I finish telling the boys about this and for the time being neither the boys nor Kimiko must know what will happen the 7th night"

"Yes master Fung" "Now go and rest for it is late…good night Dojo" "good night master Fung"

Meanwhile in the monks quarters Clay and Omi were asleep but Raimundo just couldn't. He couldn't stop thinking about Kimiko.. where she was, was she ok, was she hurt, was she scared eventually he gave up trying to sleep and got out of bet and sat outside on the steps of the temple looking at the moon an meditating.

Inside his heart was hurting and screaming at him to go back to that lake and don't come back without her, but his better judgement stopped him.

No matter how hard he tried Raimundo just couldn't stop blaming himself for what happened to Kim. He felt that he needed to be there for her, to protect her more especially since his feelings for the dragon of fire kept growing each day, each minute spent with her and each second without her.

He always had feelings for her but only became more aware of them after Hanibal brought them to the surface when he entered his mind back when they were at Guans temple.

"Ohh…Kimi I hope your alright, wherever you are. I promise that I'll look for you and never stop till I find you even if I die trying but I'm going to find you!" Now he was more determined than ever to find her no matter the cost ,he cared to much for her .

While making this promise to himself and her, Raimundo looked at the night sky. How beautiful the stars were shining on that raven black shy just like her hair and how the moon seem so magical and extremely mysterious tonight….how he wished that he could share this with Kimiko.

But in a way he was. Unknowing to him in another part of the world, more precisely in the middle of a beautiful lake, a lonely swan was swimming around while the moons silver raze were coming down upon her purely white feathers making them shine like diamonds, and also making shine that beautiful locket around its graceful neck .

She was by far the most beautiful and magnificent swan on that lake and the most lonely one as well. As she swam alone only the moonlight lighting her way on the lake she could help but stare at the star filled sky and especially the magnificent moon.

Sad blue eyes watched the moon at the same time as two emerald ones both wishing that they could be somewhere else.

At Chases place…

"So finally a suitable girl for this title has appeared. Do you intend on keeping your promise or will we kill her immediately as she turns back into a human." Wuya said with a evil grin on her face as she twirled around Chase who was on his throne looking strait ahead in deep thinking.

Wuya stopped when she saw this and placed herself in front of him her evil smirk turning into an evil smile as Chase came out of his meditating state and looked at her with a curios face.

"I still think that we should have killed her the moment she turned into a swan, she is vulnerable now without her powers and into a swan shape, you should have killed her!!" Wuya now said an angry expression on her face.

"No!" was the only reply she got before "You know very well the reason why I can't do that right away. I made a vow and I always keep my promises!! Unlike other people" he said looking at Wuya who now had a disappointed look on her face.

"So this means that for the next 6 days your going keep asking that brat to marry you and only on the 7th night will you finally kill her?" "Yes that is what I intend to do Wuya" Chase said now looking throw that huge eye (I don't know what he calls it) in front of his throne at the beautiful swan floating on the lake.

"Just one thing that you hadn't considered yet Chase" Wuya who was now beside him looking at the swan said. "And what is that I have missed Wuya?" he replied bored "What if she accept to marry you? How will you kill her then? Or what are you going to do then?"

Chase turned to her with a surprised expression, she was right he hadn't though about this, but then again he knew Kimiko hated him.

"That is most unlikely to happen. But if it does then I have no other choice than to keep my promise and marry her, but then the dragon of fire will be on the Heylin side"

" But even if she won't accept . What if the Xiaolins appear on the last night and stop you before you could kill her? What then?"

Chase though about what Wuya said and answered:

"Here is where I have a job for you. Keep the Xiaolins away from her all this time and if it is possible make sure that they don't find out what has happened to her."

At this Wuya only nodded and smirked while Chase went away to continue meditating.

Back at the Xiaolin temple…

It was dawn and the sun could rise at any moment. The monks were sleeping while in front of temple a super sized Dojo was getting his last instructions from master Fung.

"I want you to be there when Kimiko returns to human form and tell her what you have told me tonight but do not mention anything about what will happen in the last night. It is best the she doesn't find out just yet." Master Fung instructed Dojo.

"Yes master Fung but what should I tell her about the boys?" Dojo asked just before he left.

"Tell her that they will come to her as soon as possible and be on the alert all the time, for Chase will be there for sure. Now go the sun is almost rising."

With this Dojo flew of back to swan lake where a special swan was waiting for him.

At the lake…

He was just in time the sun was rising, he landed at the same place where Chase activated the lock on Kimiko and just at the right moment in that place appeared a graceful swan with a golden locket on her neck.

The suns raze were coming down on her and the water around her began to glow and circle around her until it engulfed her into a sparkling cocoon.

When the cocoon finally stopped sparkling and the water fell back into the lake revealing a beautiful girl in a long sleave less light blue dress that reached to the ground, with long raven black dress let lose that cascaded down to her waist (try to imagine Odette hair only black on Kimiko and somewhat her dress) and a golden heart shaped locket with a swan in the middle around her neck. She was simply gorgeous beyond words even Dojo stared at her wide eyed.

Because now instead of that graceful swan stood Kimiko, as beautiful as ever.

At first she didn't seen to notice Dojo and slowly and gracefully came to shore , that's when she finally noticed him a smile spread across her beautiful rosy lips.

"Dojo you're here!! I'm so glad to see you why did you guys left without me?" she said while running and giving the dragon a light hug.

"Well I guess you've noticed that we thought you were goon cuz all of a sudden you just disappeared. We looked everywhere for you but couldn't find you. And for good reason considering you were a swan in the middle of the lake."

"Yeah…hey wait a minute you knew what happened to me? You knew that Chase transformed m into a swan? Why didn't you tell the others? And what exactly happened?" Kimiko bombarded the little dragon with questions.

"Ok, Ok in order yes I knew I saw everything, and yes I knew he transformed you or you I say he didn't transformed you he only activated the locket on you, there is more about this locket than you think that's why I didn't tell then I needed to talk with master Fung first and what exactly happened Chase called the name of the Wu who found you a suitable girl warrior for the title of swan princess warrior and so put a spell on you in which you will transform into a swan every night for 7 nights and at day you will transform back into your original form"

"But what's with the spell and transformation couldn't it simply just….I don't know change my robes or something just like what happened to Rai when he became leader?" Kimiko was a little bit frighten now but she didn't show it.

"Well think of it as a probe to prove that you are worthy of this title…"

"Worthy?!..By transforming every night into a swan for 7 nights?..that how I have to prove that I'm worthy?!" she practically screamed her temper rising.

" No, no,no…there-s more to this just listen" Dojo explained to her everything that he said to master Fung except for the part of what happens in the last night. After he finished explaining this her jaw was practically to the ground.

"You have got to be kidding me!!You mean that every day for the next 6 day Chase will come and ask me to marry him??...Oh my God!!"if the situation wasn't bad enough for her, now it was worse.

"Well you just have to say no and he'll leave you alone, don't worry I'm shore Chase isn't happy about this but he has to keep his promise, so I don't think that he will be to insistant."Dojo tried calming her down.

It worked a little but Kimiko was still in shock and couldn't believe that all of this was happening to her, why her of all people? Just then a thought shot in her mind "But what about the guys, do they know anything about this?"

Dojo hesitated for a moment before he responded "Not yet…but master Fung plans on telling them as soon as they wake up so don't worry!"

Kimiko sighed before turning and looked at the lake for a few moments then turned back to face Dojo with pleading eyes "Don't tell them..not yet. Don't tell them please!"

At this both her and Dojo were shocked. Dojo recovered firs and asked "But why..you need then right now. and they are worried sick about you.. especially Raimundo why…."

"I don't know why!!" She interrupted him her voice hardly above a whisper and trembling, but before She could say another thing a rustle in the bushes near by caught their attention and a voice screamed Kimikos name, leaving here shocked to hear it and she quickly sent Dojo back to the temple before that figure could get near enough to see him.

Ok chapter 2 finally finished. I guess your wondering who that figure is. But for now that's for me to know and you to find out but If you have I good guess of who it is don't hesitate on telling me. So R&R and also please let me know if I should continue the story. Thanks for reading!!
