S'up?
Hey guys, Chapter 10's here ;)
Wuya - They can see that, Hazzard.
Hazzard - Don't talk to me, Fish!
Wuya - Grr -_-
Jack - Hahaha!
Raimundo - *Sigh* Why am I here?
Hazzard - Because I swapped Chase Young for you.
Raimundo - Do you even like me?
Hazzard - Um, not as much as Jack but yes ^_^
Raimundo - I'm sorry, can you say that again. I misheard-
Wuya - No, you heard right -_-
It was lunchtime now and everyone was gathered to eat together. Everyone except the elderly monks, only Master Fong ate with them today. It was quiet for most of the time and peaceful. It was almost a good memory for Jack, that was until a certain un-missed, dead, old hag flew threw the table and toward Jack.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU, YOU FOOL!" Wuya shrieked, "I SEARCH NEARLY HALF THE WORLD TO FIND AN IDIOT LIKE YOU AND THEN I FIND YOU HAVING A TEA PARTY WITH THE ENEMY?"
"So…you missed me?" Jack asked smiling up at her.
She growled and then said, "No! Definitely, not! It was a nice break but your Jackbots are going berserk in the basement and remember your Mother? She's terrified – got posters everywhere, looking for you. But I guess you didn't see cause you're too busy eating with the enemy! And WHO'S THAT?"
She pointed her faded purple arm toward Kairi. Kairi didn't flinch. Kairi was getting better at interacting with people but that didn't mean she should become scared of other things now.
"Err…this is Kairi. Kairi, Wuya," he introduced them. He then mumbled, "I'm sorry to ruin your day."
"You should be, this is an outrage," Wuya said.
"I wasn't talking to you," Jack muttered.
Wuya threw a threatening glare his way and he squeaked behind eating his soup.
"Wuya, it's nice to meet you," Kairi said smiling at her.
Wuya looked at her and sensed something different about her but she decided not to share. She would work it out on her own in her own mind, "Well, it's nice to know that someone has manners around here. So, are you a new recruit? New dragon? Whatever?"
"No," Kairi shook her head placing her drinking cup back on the table, "I'm a refugee. I stole Jack, I'm sorry."
"You got kidnapped by a girl?" Wuya asked Jack glumly, "Who cares! Carry on, dear."
"Well, I'm hiding here because…I'm being chased," Kairi explained and then picked up her spoon to begin with her soup.
"Oh, and who are you hiding from?" Wuya asked only half interested.
"Um…" Kairi sipped her soup and then answered, "From those scar men. The ones with the white masks with the scars on the eyes. They go by the title of 'The Maskmen' in public, I think."
Wuya gasped, as did Master Fong and Dojo. They were the only three present who knew this clan, or had heard of them.
"Master Fong, do you know of these Maskmen?" Omi asked the old man. He shook out of his shocked state and then nodded.
"Yes, Omi, I have heard of them," he told them.
"You have only heard of them, you have not faced them," Wuya accused, "You don't know what you've gotten yourself into!"
"Oh, they're not that tough," Kairi laughed, "A little persistent but they're easily knocked out for five minutes. That's enough time to get two miles away, right?"
"How fast do you run kid?" Wuya asked surprised.
Everyone answered for her in unison, "Fast."
Kairi giggled. But Wuya shook her head, "Mm… well you shouldn't even be able to knock them out! The only reason that I got away was that I had possession of one of the Shen Gong Wu."
"How did you get the Shen Gong Wu back then?" Kimiko asked.
"I stole it, girl," Wuya said plainly she then turned back to Kairi, "Did you use the Shen Gong Wu?"
"Um…no, I'm kind of afraid to use them and I only learnt of their existence three weeks ago," Kairi laughed, "Anyway, I haven't seen the Maskmen for about six or seven weeks now. They either don't know where I am or they're unsure of the power here. I for one believe the power created here is very strong. I can feel it now – radiating off of everyone."
Wuya thought that was another odd thing about this girl, she could feel energy, she must have had magnificent power to fight off the Maskmen and the aura around her was completely different from that of a normal girl. The way she looked at everyone too, something was behind the shine in her eyes. Wuya glanced over to Dojo surprised he hadn't sensed it too but then maybe he had. Maybe he was still working it out or maybe he knew.
Suddenly, Kairi gasped and stood up looking down. Everyone looked over to her.
"Kairi?" Jack said.
"Is something wrong, child?" Master Fong asked.
Kairi lifted her head and opened her eyes, "Yes. I'm sorry, I need to be…alone."
"You needn't be sorry," Master Fong reminded her.
But as she half ran away she called back to him, "Don't hold your breathe."
Kairi ran back to the dormitory and fell to her knees. She struggled to her feet again but slipped every now and then. She was more or less dragging herself to her room. When she eventually got there she closed the door shut and curled up into ball on the floor. Sweat dripped down her face and her eyes were closed so tightly that she was shivering violently.
Just then the door slid open, "Kairi?"
Jack dropped to his knees beside her. He held her in his arms.
"Kairi? What's going on? What's happening to you?" Jack asked. Then Wuya flew up behind him and gasped now understanding what it was. She instantly flew out again.
"Jack…please, leave me…alone for a bit," Kairi pleaded shaking aggressively.
"No, I'm not leaving you like this!" he told her angered by the thought of leaving her.
"Please…I'm fine…this happens when…well, it happens," Kairi only half explained.
But Jack didn't let go of her and he wasn't going to, "No."
"Jack," Kairi whispered. Jack looked in to her eyes and saw that they were a crimson colour very close to that of blood. But he didn't flinch or hesitate because he could still see his Kairi and she was smiling up at him adoringly.
Jack - Oh my God! What's happening to Kairi?
Hazzard - You'll have to read and find out ;)
Jack - But I wanna know now :(
Hazzard - As much as I love you...no - read! ^_^
