jack was now running down his street. he rushed into his house,
"there you are my god jack where have you been!" said wuya angry.
"oh shut up already I got here as soon as I could." said jack.
wuya just rolled her eyes "ok fine whatever but we got to go now, the new shen gong wu
is going be at the underground ruins of maka, and if we are wanna get there before the xiaolins do then we need to hury!" said wuya angry.
"ok, ok man do you even know the meaning of the word chill out" said jack as him and wuya
walked out the front door.
chase and shadow on the other hand where on there way to the ruins of maka. they had made it there before anyone else.
omi, kimiko, raimundo, ping pong and clay where riding on the back of dojo as usual
but they where lagging behind.
"this is taking forever I told you, you should have just left your lip paint at home, we should have never went back to get it" said omi frustrated at kimiko.
"first off it's lip gloss omi, and I don't think it's a big dill, so we're a few minutes behind
we always make it in time anyway" said kimiko.
"ok kids where here" said dojo looking down at a grassy terrain.
"see I told you" said kimiko smugly
chase walked with shadow until they reached the entrance "well here we are" said shadow
smiling. chase just let out a sigh of anguish. just then the both of them heard what sounded like two people arguing far off, and just then at that very moment jack and wuya came out of the bushs. "well we wouldn't even have arrived late if it weren't for you!" said wuya.
"for the last time I'm sorry, can you please just drop it. besides I think we made pretty good time of you ask me" said jack angry looking at wuya dead in the face.
shadow smiled and glanced at chase. jack then
spotted them. "hey chase whats going on?" said jack smiling to chase as always.
chase just fake smiled back. "hi jack and how are you doing" said chase
awkwardly. jack didn't catch this but wuya did and she shot chase a funny look.
"so jack are you going to join us?" said shadow smiling. jack smiled back. "really I can join you!" exclaimed jack. "ya I mean chase was the one to suggest it after all weren't you" said shadow putting her hand on chase's shoulder . chase had no choice but to agree. "y-yes I was" he said.
jack looked at chase and his smile widened. "ok then I guess we're going with you, come on wuya" said jack walking forward into the cave.
wuya was headed toward jack but she then stopped in front of chase and shadow for a sec and shot them
another look. "what?" said shadow looking at wuya. wuya didn't say anything she just went on.
she then soon caught up with jack. "jack" she said. "what is it" said jack as he kept walking while looking at her. "something's funny about this" said wuya. "what do mean?" said jack.
"did you do something to make chase angry lately, I think he's planning to kill you." said wuya. "what, why would you think that?" said jack now stopping.
" maybe because chase and shadow are being nice to you" said wuya floating in front of jack.
"oh, your being ridiculous, me and chase are friends now" said jack rolling his eyes.
"jack for once in your life see what's going on around you and stop being foolish, chase young the person who has been doing his best to rid himself of you for many years is all of a sudden being nice to you. don't you think that's a little strange?" said wuya.
"oh, your just jealous" said jack as he walked on.
"look at that other people are starting to catch on" said chase. "calm down, wuya still
doesn't really know anything. now come on let's get on with the show" said shadow as she walked on and chase right behind her.
chase,wuya,jack, and shadow walked through the a cave like area together. chase was walking with jack and shadow with wuya. "so where are we going exactly" asked jack.
"to the very end that's where we should find the shen gong wu" said chase walking beside jack. shadow then walked up to chase. "do you have the list?" she asked. chase did and he nodded his head. "ok you know what to do" said shadow smiling.
"but what about wuya?" asked chase. "hmm, right then, you certainly can't kiss jack in front of her she'll definitely know what's going on then" whispered shadow.
"WHAT!" yelled chase. jack and wuya both looked at him. "I mean what a
lovely cave, it's very nice" said chase smiling at jack and wuya. he was very uneasy now. wuya just looked
at him again. jack just smiled at him and waved.
"ya remember I said everything on that list, so now the question is how can I get you
and jack alone" said shadow to herself, she then snapped her fingers.
"alone, what, shadow" said chase fearing what she had in mind.
"just hold on a minute, just what ever I do go with it" said shadow.
chase just looked at her confused.
shadow walked around the cave looking at it up and down. she then looked at the ground and to the ceiling. "wuya" she said. "yes?" said wuya. "what's under here" asked shadow.
"what do you mean?" asked wuya. "what I mean is if say someone fell through the floor
where would they end up?" asked shadow.
"well there are many caves throughout these ruins so you or we would most likely end up in one of those underground caves" said wuya. "and if we fell would we survive?" asked shadow. "yes most likely" said wuya. shdaow smiled.
"jack will you go stand over there beside chase" asked shadow. "sure, but why?" said jack. "just do it" said shadow and jack walked over to chase and stood beside him. chase for the life of him was not getting it, what was she trying to accomplish. shadow then ran at the wall and did a side kicking to it. the ground beneath chase and jack shook vigorously. jack then fell and chase would have to if he didn't catch the edge of the big gaping holethat was now under him.
he looked down and was looking for jack but it was too dark to see.
shadow then came to the edge where chase was hanging off and keeled down
"shadow" said chase angry. "ok follow the list exactly, and remember chase I am
going to ask jack what happened. so that kiss along with other things better happen" shadow whispered.
"o-other things?" said chase. "clam down I didn't put anything weird on there... yet" said shadow as she smiled. "SHADOW!" said chase just before shadow pushed chase off the edge. before he could finish his sentence. and chase fell with a loud "AAAAAAAAAA" wuya looked at shadow surprised.
"what we can cover more ground this way" said shadow as she walked past wuya.
jack fell face first on the cold hard ground. he then got up dusting himself off. jack then realized he wasn't the only one that fell when chase landed on him. chaserubbed his head that ached form the vibration of pain that had just went down his spine and up to his head. but that still was not as bad as what jack was feeling at this moment as chase was unknowingly sitting on him.
"hey chase" said jack. chase looked around and then looked to the man he was now sitting on.
"could you get up please" said chase. chase got up and got off jack.
jack then stood up looking up at chase. "what'd she do that for?" said jack.
"I guess she wanted us to cover more ground? " said chase making up some lie off the topof his head.
"oh" was all jack had to add.
chase was mad and nervous. "I'll do what she wants but I'm not going to be nice about it" said chase to himself as he walked a head of jack. "come on" said chase meanly. jack looked at chase thinking he had just done something wrong but followed him anyway.
jack followed behind chase as they walked through some cave. both unaware of where they where going and they had been walking for about forty minutes.
"so where are we going?" asked jack. chase looked at jack with a mean expression then
he came extremely close to jack's face.
"look spicer!, I didn't ask to be down here with you ok so
let's get something straight, I'm not your friend or your pal got it. just keep your mouth shut and stay behind me. if it where up to me I'd leave you here!" said chase turning back around walking forward.
jack was confused and a bit hurt. why did his mood change all of a sudden jack wondered. but jack did as chase asked.
later they both stopped at a underground spring. jack was sitting in the
corner chase was splashing his face with water in order to clean the dirt
off of it, which he had gotten when he fell.
jack looked up at him, then looked off to the side. he had a sad expression on his face.
chase looked over to jack and then looked at him self in the water he was over, feeling guilt.
"what's happening to me" thought chase sighing, putting his head in his hands. he then got up and walked over beside jack. the next words chase was about to say came as a shock to jack.
"I-I'm sorry" said chase looking at jack. jack looked up at chase. "I just, I'm very upset and stressed out, because I have to do this thing that I really don't want to do" said chase.
"then why are you doing it?" asked jack. "to keep my reputation from getting ruined" said chase. "oh, I'm sorry I didn't know" said jack.
"it's fine it's not your fault,well kinda" said chase looking off to the side. they sat there in the cold and dark cave. no one saying a word to each other until jack broke the silence. "chase why are you being so nice to me?" asked jack.
chase looked at jack and he was now a little surprised at jack for saying what jack was saying.
"what do you mean?" said chase. "wuya said something to me about it before we came down here, you've never been nice to me, as a matter of fact you've even tried to kill me a few times. I just I don't get why your treating me with respect all of a sudden" said jack looking at chase.
chase looked at jack but he couldn't come up with a valid reason. I mean sure there was the shadow blackmailing thing but their was more to it then that and chase just didn't know what else it was other then he felt like it.
"I" was all chase said. now he was concerned. he felt like he was losing a part of himself.
how and why did jack make him feel something he had not felt since he was a child.
empathy, ho how he hated it and how he hated feeling it but he did feel it. was it because
of jack or was it something else. chase didn't know the answer. for the first time in forever
he didn't know something.
"chase you ok?" asked jack. "y-ya I'm umm fine. I umm, I just need some more time to think" said chase.
jack seen the upset and pondered look on chase's face. jack looked at the spring. "hold on" said jack getting up. chase looked up at him curious as to what he was doing. jack ran to the spring to get some water in a small container he had for chase. he then started to run back to chase. just then jack fell over a rock and by mistake and landed on chases lap.
chase looked at him. jack just smiled a nervous smile and held the water up to chase. "he he" he laughed a little worried. "why dose he make me act so, so strangely" said chase in deep thought. "what is it about you, why do I feel this way" said chase looking at jack not realizing he had said it out loud. "what?" was all jack said but chase was to far in thought to hear him.
chase both not really aware of what he was doing and half in a day dream brought his hands
up to jacks face and began to slowly lean in. chase stopped hesitating for just a moment. but then leaned in once again. jack's eyes widened as chase's lips pressed against his
and jack was really startled when chase's tongue entered his mouth. jack sat there for a minute but then jack pushed him self off of
chase. chase just looked at him with a day dream like expression. chase then realized
what just took place and quickly came to.
"W-WHAT WAS THAT" yelled jack freaked. "what" said chase. "that, you just, you know!" yelled jack not really saying what just happened.
"I, umm- it- was- a- thank-you-kiss?" said chase lying. "a-a what?" said jack. "it's like a kiss for thank you.. friends do it all the time?" said chase to jack confused at hisself. "why did I just lie" thought chase to him self. "and why in the hell did I just kiss spicer!" he thought again.
"oh ok, I've never heard of that but ok" said jack to chase still a little freaked. but jack wasn't the only one freaking out chase was too and now he just wanted to separate himself from
this situation as soon as possible. "ok come on let's go we really should find shadow now" said chase and even jack could tell chase was uneasy. "chase I" jack was about to say.
"DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME SPICER I SAID LET'S MOVE NOW!" yelled chase.
jack didn't ask anymore questions he did as chase commanded.
shadow and wuya where up above chase and jack and while jack and chase
were doing their thing wuya and shadow were looking for the shen gong wu.
shadow was walking with wuya beside her. "so where is this wu again?" asked
shadow.
"just right around this corner. when they turned the corner and they seen
it. it was a golden tea pot sitting nicely on a crystal stone." there is it" said wuya smiling as she came close to it. "not so fast" said omi
as he came around another corner on the opposite side of the cave. just the dojo and the others came from out behind him. "well this looks like it'll be fun" said shadow smiling at them evilly.
omi looked at her and wuya ready to fight but then noticed neither chase or jack was with them. "where's chase and jack, and why are you with wuya" asked omi. "that's not what you should be worried about, how about you just focus on your opponent " said shadow as she went for the wu. omi and pingpong both then did too. they all ran at the wu at the same time.
back in down below chase and jack didn't say a word to each other they both just walked on.
chase just wanted to hurry up and get out of the cave and back to his home
as soon as possible.
"so chase I was just wondering " jack was about to finsih but once
again chase cut in. "wondering what" said chase quickly as he keep walking.
and chase didn't notice but he was walking faster and faster as him and jack where walking.
"I was just curious on where you learned that friend kiss thing because I've been thinking and I've never really hear" jack was about to say again but was once again cut off by chase and this time chase was hateful about it. "ho look there's a door let's see where this go's" said chase fast walking to the door. jack just watched him as he walked over to it and through it open.
mean while shadow, ping pong and omi where all in a showdown and it wasn't looking to good for shadow. "I should've waited till after this showdown to get chase and jack alone together" she said to her self. just then out of no where she received a dubble kick from
both Omi and ping pong. she fell hard to the cave floor.
"you should really learn to pay more attention" said omi as he smiled at shadow. "well maybe you should too" said shadow as she kicked a rock both Omi's and ping pong's way. "brother omi" yelled ping pong. but it was to late. the rock had hit omi's face and he was now falling, shadow jumped quickly to the shen gong wu. she had won and then smiled at her victory.
wuya smiled profusely as she came close to shadow. "great work" said wuya. "yes well, let's get back to jack and chase. I think they'll be pleased we won" said shadow. "see you next time" shadow added waving good bye to the xiaolin warriors. "omi, ping pong ya'll all right" said clay as he walked over to omi helping them up.
"ya sure looks like you took a nasty fall" said raimundo. "yes I did but I'm ok, I'm just upset we lost" said omi. "there's always next time brother omi" said ping pong. "ya kid don't beat your self up about it " said dojo. "ok, I guess we better head home then" said omi still upset that he lost the wu.
shadow was happy and wuya even happier. "so you know this place inside and out where would chase and the worm be" asked shadow. "well I think" just then they both heard what sounded like a door from down in the cave open and close and as luck would have it chase and jack came around the corner .
"chase so nice to see you. I've got good news" said shadow smiling. "ya, that's great. we need to go, now." said chase as he grabbed shadow by the wrist and started for the exit.
"hey what about the wu!" said wuya angry. "ya here" said chase as he quickly grabbed the wu out of shadows hand and threw it at jack. "thanks" said jack. "hey" said shadow. but chase didn't respond he just keep walking forward.
about thirty minutes later chase and shadow came back to there place they where in the living room. chase finally let go of shadow "hey, what's your problem" said shadow. "I can't do this" said chase talking more to himself then to her. "what?" said shadow.
"this, this thing with spicer please, please shadow I'm begging you stop" said chase. shadow laughed "no, why did jack make a move on you after you kissed him or something?" asked shadow giggling. "no not exactly" said chase not looking her in the eyes with a frightened expression on his face. shadow then stopped her good mood and looked at chase curious.
"then why are you so up set" said shadow. "that's what I'd like to know" said chase.
again talking more to himself then to shadow.
"look chase just a few more and" shadow was about to say with a clear cut smile on her face but then chase cut in and when he did her smile was gone. "I CAN'T DO THIS ANY MORE, PLEASE!" yelled chase. shadow stopped. she was both angry and confused as to why chase was acting the way he was acting. "look I'm not going to stop until I get bored, I told you that" said shadow looking at him. "BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTA" shadow was the one to interrupt him this time
"just stay out here till you calm down, if nothing really happened why are you so flustered anyway?" said shadow. chase stopped yelling and sat down on his couch. "I'll be in our room if you want to join me later that's fine, but don't come in until you've calmed down" said shadow leaving chase behind.
chase didn't really know why he was acting the way he was acting. or why he was so angry he just knew he was. why was he so upset? even after he kissed jack, jack's reaction was one you would thing he'd be happy with but that's the problem. HE kissed jack not the other way around.
HE kissed him. but why, why did he kiss him?. and in the back of his head he could feel it bothering him. and it just wasn't the kiss. it was the way jack reacted. chase was confused and tired and now all he wanted to do was sleep just doze off and forget this day.
"it's his fault it has to be" said chase to him self. "tomorrow, tomorrow I'm going over to spicers and asking him about this thing, I can't dill with this anymore" said chase to him self as he sat on his couch and slowly but surely did fall asleep.
the next morning chase woke up, got dressed and started heading for spicers.
he left in such a hurry shadow didn't know that he had left.
jack woke up in a unusually happy mood and for some reason he him self didn't know.
he was happier then he had been in a long time. he
raced down stairs, smiling as he came into his kitchen. wuya was already down waiting for him to get up.
she looked at him. "what are so happy about" asked wuya.
"not sure, but I think it's because me and chase young are the best of friends!" said jack smiling. "jack I'm telling you, chase is up to something, I was around shadow all day yesterday and she was acting strange" said wuya as she pondered on her words.
"whatever she's probably just jealous because chase hangs out with me more then he dose her" said jack.
wuya wasn't buying it. she knew something was up. it had to be. why in the world would chase take an interest in jack all of a sudden. It didn't make
sense.
one minute chase can't stand him and the next he's all buddy buddy with him.
just then the door bell rang. I'll get it. said jack as he walked over to the front door.
he opened it and there stood chase. "hey chase didn't expect to see you here" said jack smiling to him.
chase looked at jack then smiled back but stopped once he realized what he was doing.
"look spicer I'm not here to chat so I'll make this quick" said chase. jack tilt his head to the left. "ok, what did you want to talk about" asked jack.
"can I come in" asked chase.
wuya just looked at him from behind the kitchen corner. "can?, did he just use the word can!" said wuya in disbelief. she was more so surprised that chase didn't demand to be let in, he actually asked nicely.
"ya sure come on in and sit down" said jack as he walked away from his front door and sat on his couch. chase came in right behind jack sitting down a cushion away from him and doing the same while closing the door behind him.
"ok, look here's the thing" chase was about to start off when he noticed wuya looking at them from behind the kitchen door. "can I help you?" said chase.
"no, go on" said wuya.
chase didn't want to talk about this in front of wuya. "could you go somewhere else" said chase. "why?" said wuya looking at chase giving him a 'what are you up to' look.
"wuya just go, come on you don't have to be in my business twenty four seven" said jack.
"fine" said wuya unsatisfied as she rolled her eyes and went up stairs to jacks room.
"so were was I, yes , as I was saying. here's the thing" chase was now starting off again.
wuya peaked her head back down into the room where jack and chase where talking but not enough to where chase or jack could see her.
"I know that you have some feelings towards me that are, how do I say it, infatuating" said chase. "ok.., you mean like a friendship?" said jack. chase looked at jack for a sec then spoke again. "yes for the sake of saving ourselves from embarrassment we'll call it 'friendship'
said chase.
"what is he talking about?" said wuya to her self.
"see some how I have gained these feelings of friendship too, and I don't really want them" said chase. "but I thought you liked these feelings of friendship that you had for me" said jack.
"yes well, I don't it's made me act different in the last few days and I don't want to act in the way I am" said chase. "why, I don't understand. I thought we were doing great" said jack.
"yes well we were but see my feelings of our friendship is getting in the way of my feelings of friendship for shadow. and see that's another thing I have this thing with shadow right now and I don't want to mess that up" said chase.
"but why can't you just have both feelings of friendship for me and shadow!" said jack who was genuinely confused .
chase looked at jack strangely thinking jack had just asked him to date both him and shadow. but jack was really talking about friendship, you'd really think he'd catch on by now.
"what?" said chase confused.
"I mean come on, I'd rather you be both mine and shadow's friend then to lose you completely. I've done my best for years to get you to like me chase I'd rather have you on the side then to just not have you at all. even if you spend more time with her" said jack looking at chase with a sad expression. -really bad choice of words spicer...
chase was touched by this he had no idea that jack liked him that much. he even smiled at the thought but then once again he realized what he was doing and what's even more what he was feeling. and this had scared him more then anything he felt so far. he also then realized that he had just confessed how he felt about jack.
not only to the red head sitting across from him but to him self.
chase got off of jack's couch confused more so then when he left his place. "how in the hell did that happen" said chase to him self talking about how he felt. "what, chase?" said jack looking up at him.
"look I just, I got to leave" said chase heading for the door. he opened it and quickly closed it leaving jack's house. jack just looked at the door confused.
"what just happened?" said jack to himself.
"indeed" said wuya looking at the door just as jack was.
chase raced down the road he was shaking. he didn't know what to do or where to go. he didn't know how to handle this. "why, why did this have to happen to me of all people and with spicer. has hell frozen over?" said chase to himself.
chase came to a grave yard it was in the middle of fall.
he found a tree to stand under. he needed something solid to hold on to, his head was spinning wildly. he was so dizzy from the outraging shock he just received. the tree still had leaves on it but in various colors.
he looked up doing his best to keep his calm and catch his breath but it was no use.
he then bent over and threw up on the trunk of the tree.
chase then moved over away from his vomit that was now on the ground. he put his back to the wall of it. he then slid down sitting on the base of the tree.
"what do I do, where can I go for this issue. who can I trust" thought chase to him self.
"shadow" said chase to him self. "no, she wouldn't take this well and out of anger she might tell people I'm" said chase as he stopped him self. he then became wide eyed and laughed at his self more worried and upset then happy. " oh my god. I like a guy. I don't know what that means. what has happened to me" said chase out loud talking to him self.
chase sat at that tree until the sun went down, thinking about jack, about how things where. then he sat till the sky was black and full of stars. he thought about spending the night under that tree. he wished he could stay there forever. away from all his problems and issues.
he looked up at the gazing moon so full and bright, and he began to feel his eyelids become heavy until he did fall asleep under that oak tree.
chase woke up the next morning. he yawned not really remembering where he was. then it hit him. he got up quick. "oh crap, shadows ganna kill me" said chase to him self as he started to rush away from the grave yard.
but then tripped on a rock and fell to the ground. dirt and mud now covered his hands and feet. "that just perfect just what I need!" said chase to himself
"chase, chase young?" chase heard a voice say as he turned around. and there stood the great katnappe.
"kattnape, what are you doing here?" he asked. "I'm here for a meeting with jack about evil,
what about you?" asked katnappe standing in front him.
"I, well originally I came to talk to jack but it didn't go so well" said chase.
"oh.." said katnappe running out of things to say. "well I'm just ganna get going now sooo" said katnappe as she started walking away from chase.
now under any normal circumstances chase wouldn't ask for help, but he was desperate.
"wait, katnappe!" chase looking up at her as he spoke before she took another step.
she then turned back to him with a curious look on her face.
"can" said chase not completely finishing and doing his best to swallow his pride.
"can... we talk" asked chase.
katnappe looked at him completely confused and much like everyone else this week very surprised
"ok.." she said as she walked over to him and sat down beside him, soon having second thoughts about this.
"ok, your a girl right" said chase. katnappe looked at chase as if he was blind, she furrow a brow at him. looking at her chest in a kind of sarcastic way and said "yaa"
"when you liked some one in such a way, that you find them infatuating . but you didn't want to like them. what did you do in that situation" asked chase.
"hmm, well I've never had that issue" said katnappe. chase just let out a sigh.
"wait are you and shadow having bed room problems! " exclaimed kattnape. "never mind" said chase upset and quickly regretting that he ever said anything.
katnappe just gave him a look. but got up and then said
"ok" as she started to walk away.
she then stopped and looked at him one more time. "you know, chase, I don't know what's going on but if your unhappy you should do what ever makes you happy not whatever is making you unhappy" she said before she turned back around and left for jack's.
chase just watched her as she walked away. "not that your advice isn't good but that's easier said then done" said chase once again talking more to himself then her.
