~Chase's POV~Earlier that day~

I watch as Jack drags his sister down the hall, the shocked look on her face mirrors my own. Why did I do that? She is not Akeira no matter how similar they look! I shake my head and begin to clean up my study. My thoughts begin to dtray to my past which I rarely let them do.

~Flashback 1,500 Years~

A young girl walks through the temple gates, accompanied by Master Qin and Dojo.

"Young monks, I'd like you to meet Akeria Moore, my new apprentice. I trust you will welcome her and show her around the temple."

"Yes, Master Qin," we chorus. He nods and walks off. Dashi is the first to move towards her, kissing her hand.

"Hello Akeira, I'm Dashi. This giant is Guan and he is Chase." We both nod respectivly to her. "If you want to be the best in your training then I suggest you watch me the most." He pulls her closely to him.

"Thanks for the advice, but I think I'll do fine on my own." She can't be more than thirteen years. "In fact, I'm sure I could beat you in a fair fight." Well, she's definatly confidant of herself.

"I can't turn down a challenge." We all race to the training grounds and the two get in fighting stances.

"Make your move." Dashi rushes towards her and is easily flipped over her shoulder. The thing that surprised all of us is that she didn't use her hands!

"How did you do that," Guan asks, shocked.

"She has the stones," I sya excitedly. "She is the keeper!" Akeira nods her head, blushing from all the attention she was, and is, getting.

"But that's not fair," Dashi yells. "You used your stones!"

"I never said you couldn't use your element now did I, Oh Smart One?"

"Ha, she has a point Dashi." He glares playfully at her. The rest of the day we practice with her, each of us getting our butts thoroughly kicked.

"You are very good," Guan comments, a rare thing for him to do.

"Thanks." She actually didn't use her powers this time and we discovered she is very good at Martial Arts and Tai Chi. Not to mention the fact that she is beautiful.

"I have never seen someone with silver eyes," I say, thinking outloud.

"I got them because my favorite stone is the Moon stone." We all look at her with matching confused faces. "It has a silver tint."

"..."

"What ever stone is the Keeper's favorite is the color there eyes will turn.

"Oh, okay." She smiles, slightly blushing. I can tell, though, that she will adjust fine here. She's cocky and sarcastic like Dashi, Strong like Guan, and a quick thinker like I am.

~Two Years Later~

"Happy birthday. Akeira," Dahi shouts, banging the gong loudly. It is too early to get up! I hear groans from the others as they wake up.

"C'mon Dashi, let the birthday girl sleep in," Akeira shouts.

"Yeah, and let us sleep in too," Guan agrees," early birthday gifts!" I chuckle and rise off my mat, dress in my normal blue shirt and pants(1), and walk into her room...Err, cubicle would better describe it. I lay down beside her and whisper in her ear.

"Wake up sleeping beauty."

~End flashback~

I growl and punch the wall clossect to me, leaving a large hole in it. How can that girl cause these memories to surface! I storm down the hallway to her room, no, not Nakoma's; Akeira's. The room is just how she left when she died, clean of course, I do the cleaning myself. The large canopy bed's curtains are tightly closed. Slowly, I walk over and pull them back. There's nothing there, I don't know what I was expecting. Yes I do, I was expecting her to be lying there. I was expecting her to crack one eye open and smile at me. I was hoping for her to sit up and wrap her arms around my neck, hoping to get one of the sweet kisses on my lips that I was so used to. I growl at my foolishness and punch one of the black, silk pillows. The perfume she used to wear fills my nose. At least there's that difference between the two girls; Akeira smelled like roses and Nakoma smells like cinnamon. I sigh, straighten out the pillow, and walk out of the room. What can I do now?

"Colby." The tiger walks out of the shadows and sits in front of me. "Why are you following me?" I snap my fingers and he turns into his human form.

"Nakoma is gone, my Lord. Jack Spicer and a monk took her."

"What." I growl. I can feel the Dragon in me trying to come out.

"They went to the temple."

"Yes, I know." I walk into the throne room and turn Colby into a raven. "Spy on her." It nods and flies off. An eye(NAME?) grows out of the floor and I can see whatever Colby does. Soon he lands on a tree branch right outside her room. Nakoma is talking to the Dragon of earth. When he tries to leave she grabs his arm. Mine, the Dragon in me growls. I agree. The cowboy leaves and she begins to unpack. I watch her the rest of the day. She doesn't seem to get along with the Dragon of wind to well. "Come home, Colby." I snap my fingers and appear outside her door. I knock and hear a muffled come in. A few minutes later she opens the door and I punch her just hard enough to knock her out.
