I Thank God for letting me write this chapter. I am sorry for not updating but I am hypercritical of myself and what people think, so even though I have only gotten good reviews I am still afraid of failure. Warning in this chapter Omi gets to a point of depression I was at recently that I pray that no one ever has to go through as it is the definition of numb. It is dang near impossible to get rid of. Any errors in grammar or spelling please report to me as I am not aware of them. To the people who are reading this story and have never seen Xiaolin showdown but read my stories anyway I thank you and shen gong wu are things that Omi and his friends collected that could decide that fate of the world.

Start:
Chase had been up for a while. Partly to look over Omi, partly because of his insomnia, and partly because of the anxiety he had from Omi cutting a vein in his arm open. He decided that he would confront Wuya about his growing gain of feelings the first chance he got, but he wasn't sure when he would get a chance. He knew Having to care for Omi was going to be hard considering how close he was to suicide, it would be near impossible to have time to interrogate wuya about ancient dark magic. Chase was determined not to let Omi become like him or let Omi kill himself. But Chase needed more information about Omi's childhood before he could really help Omi. Suddenly an idea came to him.
When Omi awoke at first he was startled. It took him a few seconds to remember where he was, that and seeing Chase young in a chair right beside him. Omi realized a great need to go the bathroom. Omi immediately asked " I'm sorry sir, but can I go to the bathroom?" Chase said " Omi never apologize for something you can't control. Yes you may go into the hallway and it is the second door to the right." Omi completely ignored Chase's protests about him apologizing and just ran to the bathroom. He returned shortly later, running to get back to the bed where he could defend himself from any attack.
Chase saw Omi come back into the room and nearly trip, which is when he stood up and pulled Omi back from falling instinctively. Omi was twitching out of fear so Chase said " Omi calm down, I will not hit you. Go back to the bed and sit down, we have some things to discuss." When Omi had went to the bed Chase couldn't help but smile inside at how cute this child could be.
"Alright Omi, I am going to ask you some questions and if you answer them you will get a prize, if you do not then you are not in trouble." Chase said to Omi. Chase waited until Omi nodded to say " Lying, however will get you into severe trouble. Do you understand?" Omi nodded again and asked, obviously excited " What are the prizes?" Chase couldn't help but actually smile at hearing how excited Omi was, at the same time he said " Some of the shen-gong-wu you have spent so many years trying to obtain will be the main prize, but there will be others." Omi smiled until he realized that he would be asked questions probably relating to the cut he made upon his arm.
Chase started off "Omi my first question is simple. Why are your nails so long?" Omi just said in a put on miserable tone " Master Fung told all of us that a monk is not allowed to cut his nails until they are 18 years of age." Chase, gently responded with " Omi I can tell when your lying and trust me you are going to get punished for that later. Now please tell me why your nails are so big." Omi, knowing he could not lie anymore said in a real miserable tone " I never figured out how to clip my nails without hurting myslef and master Fung would always yell at me when I told him that I didn't know how to cut my nails without causing myself pain." Chase said gently " Now I know your not lying Omi, here is you reward", as he handed Omi the orb of tornami.
Omi looked like a child on Christmas day while he was repeating over and over " Thank you!". Chase said still more softly "I am only going to ask you one question a day, now I am going to show you how to cut your nails."
Chase showed Omi how to cut each nail without cutting enough off that it would cause any pain. After that Chase said " Now it is time for your punishment Omi, please follow me." At which point Omi froze in fear. Chase tried to reassure him ("I will not hit you or yell at you") but eventually Chase had to pick Omi up and bring him to the bathroom. Chase gently sat Omi down on a stool that he had set up in the case Omi lied.
Omi looked at Chase in fear when Chase said " When you lie to me I will rinse your mouth out with soap, I will not beat you." Omi breathed a breath of relief and said " That's not so bad." Chase just looked at Omi and said "If that's what you want to believe. Lean your head forward." Omi did as he was told. Chase took a peice a soap and started to wash Omi's mouth out with soap in the most thorough way possible. After ten minutes he took a paper cup and gave it to Omi and said gently " You may rinse now."
