The Truth behind Omi
Chapter 4
Omi P.O.V
Two days went flying by faster then I first anticipated with in this time period I was able to focus on my training a lot easier, although I only showed Raimundo up twice which if I had been on the top of my game It would have been quadrupled. MY fiends all expressed how they was glad they had there old Omi back well Kimiko an Clay did anyway, Raimundo on the other hand was just happy that I was doing my chores again. He tried to make me do his chores as well as it was only 'fair', but thankfully Kimiko was there to slap him round the back of the head for me while yelling how inconsiderate he was. She is a great friend.
If it wasn't for the dreams still I could almost get my life back to the way it was. It was because of my dreams and confronting Master Monk Guan on the issue was why I felt so anxious. Truth be told what I said to Raimundo about being afraid was completely true; I am terrified about all of this. Scenario's kept coursing through my mind about if this is linked to my past, wondering why would the previous dragons would be involved was unnerving to say the least. Since 6 am this morning I have been waiting, watching the gates for when Master Monk Guan's arrives, it was now 12pm. I have been waiting for four hours where could he be!
"Howdy little partner you know watching the corn wont make it grow faster" a Texan accent greeted me.
"What corn are you speaking of clay? I am waiting for Master Monk Guan" at my question Clay bursts out in a howl of laughter.
"No partner it's just a cowboy saying I mean to say that you can watch out the gate for Master Monk Guan all day. It won't make him come any faster"
"Oh why didn't you just say that in the first place?" I really didn't understand his cowboy language it's just so strange"
"Anyway Clay whats down?"
"I think you mean to say whats up Omi"
"Same difference" No matter how hard I try I can't seem to get a hang of this slang talk everyone uses.
"Just came to check up on you see how you are doing"
"Oh I see what about Kimiko and Raimundo what are they doing?"
"Those two love birds are out horse riding together, although they swear blind it isn't a date and they are just two good friends, but I let you in on a little secret the other night I went for a walk to get some fresh air after not being able to sleep, and I heard giggling coming from the garden so I went to see what it was and guess what I saw?"
"What?"
"Those to sitting next to each other under a willow tree whispering in each other's ears. Now tell me partner why do you suppose that they would sneak out past curfew to talk"
"You are right Clay this is most suspicious" So Kimiko and Raimundo are hiding something, but what? Maybe Clay is right and they are 'love birds' but why would they hide that from us?
"What's suspicious?" Both me and Clay turned are heads in the direction of a deep baritone voice.
"Master Monk Guan!" both me and Clay shout in union.
After all my waiting finally he is here! Hopefully he will have the answers I am so desperately searching for. My very sanity rests in his hands.
"Howdy Master Monk Guan me and Omi here was just talking about Kimiko and Raimundo that's all nothing serious. It was just something I brought up to distract Omi; he has been waiting for you all day and probably would have waited all night you didn't show up. The little feller wanted to be the first to speak with you"
"Oh really and what do I owe the pleasure Omi?"
"Well I rather not discuss it here"
"Don't you trust me? As I looked up at Clay I could see that he was genuinely hurt, but I have told neither him nor Kimiko about my dreams. Not in till I know what they are about, I do not want to worry them if it is nothing.
"I am sorry Clay but this… well its personal and I don't want to worry people unnecessarily if it turns out to be nothing"
"What in tarnation's are you going on about little partner what could make me worry?"
"I will tell you later this you have my word my friend." I hope that Clay understands and drops the subject.
"Ok but after all this you will have to tell us everything deal" Clay sticks out his hands ready to as my friends would say close the deal…or something like that. To prove I meant it I put my much smaller hand into his much larger one.
"Right I'll tell the love birds that Master Monk Guan has arrived" and with that clay turned his back and ran over in the direction where my other two friends were.
I turned my body to face Master Monk Guan he was looking at me as if I was gravely ill. All of a sudden my uneasiness from the other day returns and hits me like a punch to the stomach. Something was very wrong in deed.
"Master Monk Guan I –I…." The word died out in my throat, refusing to escape through my lips.
"Don't worry Omi I think I know what you are about to say, you have been experience strange dreams haven't you?" How did he know?
"Yes but how, how d-did you know"
"I thought as much unfortunately do not worry all will be explained to you" And with that Master Monk Guan started walking to the temple with me hopelessly confused following him inside.
Chase Young P.O.V
Something wasn't right I could feel it in the air circling around me like a swarm of bee's attacking a threat to their queen. Something big was going to happen and I was going to be in the centre of it all of that I am sure.
Steadying myself, slowing down my breathing to compose myself I strolled through my garden, looking at its beauty hoping for this small part of peace will bring me some serenity. Despite the fact I am evil I can't seem to bring myself to destroy my garden, to destroy this peace. I blame it on my past because no matter how much I deny it I can not ignore that there is some form of good still dwelling in my soul. It is this goodness that compels me to keep my word, but it seems to be more prominent as off late.
Walking through my garden has seemed to cause the opposite to what I hoped for. Instead of feeling at peace I am far more stressful then to begin with. Nothing seems to be going right.
Wuya as always has been squawking in my ear like the wench she is about searching for those damn shen gon wu like that it was the most important thing to do with my time, she has even sunk so low as to try and seduce me. Repulsive. As if I would be swayed by such an act like a pitiful worm she isn't worth my affections. I remember how she was stroking my arm. I felt sick. The whole thing felt wrong almost like I was betraying...something, of what I am unsure of.
Jack Spicer the little worm has been creping around begging for yet another evil alliance to capture I new Shen Gon Wu from the monks. I don't see how that coward could even consider himself evil, he is bad at best. I just wish that he would leave me alone so I can enjoy my day and evil musings.
But the most stressful one of them all was Hannibal Roy Bean. That insignificant, scrawny, admittedly evil genius bean has done all he can to make my eternal life hell ever since he escaped the yang-yang word. All my success in the heylin ways he took credit for. For if it wasn't for him I would still be a xiaolin warrior. He tells the story of how he was the one to groom me into what I am now. "I hate he bean"
"Why hello Chase Young nice to know you care" ah so it's true speak of the devil and he shall appear.
"What do you want bean?" I hissed at him trying to empathise my disdain to his presence.
"Chase no need to be like that after all we've been through I was just wondering if you could feel it something big is approaching and fast"
"I am aware but that doesn't explain why you are here"
Hannibal's gruesome smile with his disgusting yellow teeth faded replaced with one of pure seriousness.
"The outcome of the approaching events will change the future of xiaolin and heylin as we know it. I fear that it is the prophecy that your old master spoke of"
"You mean…"
"Yes I believe the one destined to defeat you will soon make themselves known"
