The Truth behind Omi

Chapter 6

Omi P.O.V

With I cheeky grin plastered on my mother's face she greeted/insulted Master Monk Guan. "Hello cousin finally lost all your hair I see"

Master Monk Guan quickly reclaims his composure, but looking slightly irritated he replied. "Not all of us decided to seal ourselves away so we would stay completely the same Crystal. Anyway after 1500 years this is how you say hello to me?"

"I'm sorry Guan it may have been 1500 years, but you know what they say old habits die hard".

They continued to banter with one another which I found rather odd as they were cousins family shouldn't they get along? Wait! If my mother is cousins with Master Monk Guan and Sister to Grand Master Dashi that means I am related to Master Monk Guan and my uncle is non other then the ultimate xiaolin monk ever to walk the earth. Now I can explain where my natural talent and supreme skills come from! I was literally shaking with excitement with the thought when I felt something sweep my forehead, I look up to see something black hanging from my head. I started to lift my hand up to get the thing of my head when I noticed my skin…It was a different colour. Instead of my usual bright yellow skin I had pale white, I touch the top of my head to discover the black thing on my head was actually hair, and finally when I reached to touch my hair I find out my head had at least halved in size! What has happened to me? Was something wrong with me?

Sensing my concern my mother turns rounds and smiles reassuringly to me.

"Told you, you would be surprised and that's not even all of it. There isn't a mirror in here so you can't even see that your eyes are now brown instead of black"

How can she be so calm when I was so panicked? My whole appearance has changed! "Why has this happened why have I changed?" my voice dry with worry.

"Don't you mean changed back?"

"Huh?"

"So I see that Crystal here didn't tell you about that piece of information do you want me to explain, because at the moment it seems your mother is finding this highly amusing and is having trouble not laughing" Master Monk Guan says while watching my mother covering her mouth trying her hardest to contain her giggle's.

"Could you"

"Well Omi the way you have looked these past years wasn't your true appearance. You were changed by Dashi to help keep you identity secret from evil that may have been searching for you, and could link you to your parents by your looks. The way you see yourself now is what you really look like."

"But why now, why do I revert back to my true self now?"

This time it is my mother who answered "Because the prophecy is set in motion and whether you look different or not people will soon associate you with the chosen one any way, so why hide you what you look like any longer?"

"I see I guess it makes sense. I think I could get used to it. Knowing how great my martial art skills are my looks should surly match" I say with a wide grin.

"Oh my. That ego he must have inherited it from his…" my mother started but the sentence died out and she didn't complete it.

"Yes in that sense he is just like him" Master Monk Guan stated. Who are they comparing me to? Could it be my father? I forgot to ask who he was back in the white light all I know is that he made a bad choice.

"Are you comparing me to my father?"

My mothers head snaps down to look at me her eyes pained like she really didn't want to answer me. Was my father's decision that bad that it caused my mother a great deal of hurt to even think about him.

"Y-yes, yes we are darling"

"Who is he, and what was that bad decision he made?"

"Um I ah. You Know maybe you should go talk to your fiends first I'm sure they will be surprised with your new look Ok" She was changing the subject.

"Yes Omi you did promise Clay that you would explain everything didn't you" Master Monk Guan said obviously siding with my mother with keeping this information from me. I heaved out a heavy sigh. This isn't the end to this discussion.

"Fine I will"

Crystal P.O.V

Oh my that was a close one. I don't think Omi is ready to hear about his father. How would I explain it to him? Well you see Omi your father is Chase Young the man your destined to fight, and as you can guess his bad decision was joining the heylin, but don't worry it wasn't because he didn't love you. No he chose the heylin side before I got the chance to tell him about your existence. I doubt that would go down well.

I turned to my cousin who even though I have the tendency to poke fun of him I value his opinion. "Do you think I've made the right decision Guan?"

"For now yes, but eventually you will have to tell him Crystal, and eventually you have to tell Chase"

"And how to do think I will do that? He doesn't even seem to remember Chasity and me. He only remembers you and Dashi purely as comrades, but I have know clue why. How can I just go up to him a woman he thinks he doesn't know and lett him one of his enemies is his son?"

"I'm sorry Crystal I do not have the answer's you are searching for. It is a bridge you will have to cross when the time is right"

"When the time is right. Always with when the time is right. Why does it feel that my life is just one big waiting game?" Guan seemed to think what I said was humorous and started chuckling. Can't he see this is really bothering me?

"Crystal you would think that your patients would be a little better after having to wait 1500 years"

"Exactly I've had to wait so long already! I don't want to keep on waiting."

"We don't always get what we want Crystal you know that"

"I know trust me I know if anything went the way I wanted then Chase would never have became evil and we would of raised Omi together as a family"

At the thought I felt tears stinging my eyes fighting my defences to spill out of my eyes, my body started to shake in a futile attempted to suppress my sobs when I felt strong arms circle around me pulling me into a comforting hug.

"Thank you Guan You may be annoying sometimes, but at the end of the day you are always there for me when I need you… I've missed you."

"Now that is how you were meant to greet me earlier" I couldn't help it, I laughed at his remark. Trust Guan to bring that up.
