Tossing and turning you finally wake up rubbing your head. Opening your eyes fully, to your surprise finding yourself back at the temple.
"The temple?"you look around a bit confused, you look down to find yourself still in your gown. Getting up you leave your little room, as you make your outside. Realizing that you where are the temple just not the one you up your eyes from the rays of the suns, looking to find you really where here."Where am I?"Looking around some more at the temple, the area was huge, though not as lushes as Master Fung's. It was quiet windy a bit.
Looking around you find no one, picking up your gown you go down the steps carefully. Looking around again, you decide to go and find someone, anyone really."...".
No sound of anyone at all, this place seem to empty. Gripping your gown a bit more, looking around worried"Kimiko..."you call for your cousin first. But go not awnser at all."Raimundo...Omi...Clay...Dojo...Master Fung...Master Monk Guan...Aoi?"
You got nothing from anyone who's name you called out. You call out their names again. Only to any echo this time."Anybody?"you stand in the middle of the temple grounds, dropping your head. The wind gentle move a few strands of hair.
"Alright everyone hang on."Dojo's voice echoed in the wind.
Lifting your head back up quickly, you look around, as you hear the others voices.
"Eveyone!?"you pick up your gown as you run to where you herd their voices, running to edge of the temple, you would have fallen off if not for Dojo coming up out the clouds fastin his larger form, you cover your eyes as you step back. Turn around you see him land down in the middle with the rest on his minus the masters.
"Guys!"you run over to them, they heard you as they get off Dojo.
"Miki"Kimiko was about to run and greet you, but Omi beat her to it.
"Miki!"he rushes to you grabbing onto your leg tightly which knocked you down on the ground"Oh how I have missed you greatly. I have had nightmares without your presence here. But you are back and safe."he starts to nuzzle you like a cat.
"Thank you Omi, I missed you too."you smile at him"But, I would like the feeling back in my leg."patting him on his head.
"A bit much don't you think?"Dojo looks at him, but then breaks out in tears as well as he jumps on you around your neck giving you a tight hug"Who am I kiddin, I missed you too."he and Omi start to cry together.
"This is sad"Raimundo shakes his head at them both.
"Guys let her breath"Kimiko pulls them off you, as Clay helps you up. You thank him dusting yourself off, looking at them then around.
"Guys where am I?"you asked them.
"My temple"Master Monk Guan says, everyone turn to see him coming over with Aoi, who was exicted to you up and well. He waste no time going to you, As he licks you.
"Your temple?"you seem a bit surprised
"I know you are use to Master Fung's temple, be had insite that you come here for sometime."
"Come here?"you take this all in as well thinking of how you got here, so you asked."How did I get here? What happen?"asking everyone as you look at them all. It was quiet with everyone.
You where about to say something when you felt a hand on your shoulder,turning around it was Master Monk Gung."You will be informed in all that you need to know. But come lets get you dressed and a nice meal in your belly. All of our bellies."he looks at the others who nod in agreement.
He leds you away with him, as the others watch on."Should we tell her?"Clay asked everyone
"We want to, but we can't"Raimundo tells him
"Don't seem right to lie to someone as nice and lovely as Miss Miki"Clay tells them feeling bad.
"Its not really a lie"Kimiko tells him"Some will be true and just small part wont be."
"Isn't that still a lie?"Dojo throws in, she looks at him
"Do you think she will figure it out,later then sooner?"Omi asked.
"Its sooner then later"Raimundo corrects him"And if we are lucky, then no she won't."
"Just seems like a shame thats all."Clay, everyone was quiet.
"Guys come one, its time to eat!"you yell to from across the grounds, they turn and look over at you by Master Monk Guan dressed back in your robe with your hair tied back in its low ponytail.
"Coming"Kimiko yells back to you.
You watch as they come, you look up at Master Monk Guan, he had on a serious face. But it changed when he realized you looking at him, he smiles at you.
"So what are we gonna eat?"Clay asked, making you turn to see them all infront of you.
"This way"master Monk Guan tells them,leds them inside.
Over in a bird's nest where the black bird rested, the little bean who was still thinking about what he just saw. He pondered hard.
"...She couldn't have come back...thats impossible."he thinks about it, but the power he saw proved he was right which sent a slight chill down his spine."I wonder...if he knows. Still...I wonder if she knows who she really is."An evil grin appeared on his face as hs chuckles to himself"Guess its time for some test. Ying Ying bird, I've got a job for you to do."he tells his flying pet.
Over at Chase Young's lair he sat in his chair as he thought back to his fight with Master Monk Guan, how the dragons left to go after someone. If it wasn't for Master Monk Guan he would have trailed them easly. But he could not due to his combat with both masters.
Though while he was there he battled them a bit around the temple, collect with his senses what he needed. Checking certian places to comform what he had thought was true. To find out it just small bits and piece where true.
He grips the arm of his chair tightly, then with a flash he picks it up and throws it into the wall causing it to break from his strenght. His jungle cats turn and look and up at him in fear due to his anger he had just shown.
Rubbing his forehead as he tries hard to block out some memories that kept playing over in his mind as well a voice. Calling out his name, back when he was on the side of good. That same face of that maiden appered in his mind calling out his name, as her hair swayed around her showing more of her beauty. Her smile could light up the darkest caves her eyes glisten as they shown love and warmth, her small delicate hands held out just for him to take, they looked so safe. And her scent could put anyone under a trace, it smelt so sweet and sweetier then the sweetest honey.
Lost in his thoughts as if she was really there infront of him he held out his hand to take her's only find it straight through her's. Opening his eyes he realized she vanished from his mind and sight. Realizing that it was nothing but a memory he roars in anger turning into his lizard form as he smashes a pillar with his tail. His jungle cats watch him as they move back while Chase went on in his ramgpage around his lair throwing anything he could get his hands on.
Hearing the noise, his house guest a women with a vampirish apperance with claw like hands, fang like teeth, pointy ears, green eyes and big long red hair dressed in black female temple robe with no shoes, as a crow perched on her shoulder. She saw the mess that Chase had just made this surprised her, as she could still him in his rampage.
"What has gotten into him?"she wonders.
Back with you at Master Monk Guan's temple the meal was very good, Master Monk Guan had told you what happen and how you got here. Pretty much it was that the emeny had used a Wu to wipe your memory so you could not remember much about what happen. That seem to ease you up, so you left it alone. It felt good to be back, Omi stayed by you the whole time telling you how much he missed and as well the training and new moves he was going to teach you. You kinda did not like the idea of this.
After eatting you got a tour of the temple, while Omi showed you moves he would teach you. But Kimiko told you to not to pay attention to him. The sun was now setting as the Master Monk Guan left you with group to just enjoy your time. So you decided to watch the sunset while you read some poems while the others did some training.
You where glad there where some poems here, with a few scrolls by as well Aoi who rested by your side. You exhale softly with a small smile on your face.
"Such a lovely poem,truely a master with their writing. Reminds a bit of my songs."you tell yourself, as you place that scroll down picking up another one, you read the title which read "Sunset" making you look at the sunset itself.
You go back and start to read it"For the sun sets yet again for another day, my how darkness has swept over hidding what can not be hidden. For hours will pass but that can not keep what inside me cold. For it has settle for this day to the eyes of humans but to the eyes of my heart it will never set, it will rise and rise. No sun shall set on my love, it can not it will not. For a sun to set does not mean it is the end of the day rather then just the beginging of a much more stronger day ahead. So I will make my own light within this darkness..."you kept reading the poem, it was very deep then many of the others that you had read before, that you had not noticed tears coming down as you read it.
Aoi heard them as he looks up at you, then behind you as someone was coming over to you, you where so into your poem that you did not noticed them until their shadow cast over you. Making you stop and look up at them.
It was Raimundo, he was about to smile at you when he noticed your tears."You ok?"he asked you pointing to his cheeks.
You placed your hand there realziing that it was wet, that you had been crying. You wipe it away"Yes, guess the poem got to me more then I thought."you smile at him.
He looks over at the sun almost done setting, then back at you"Can I sit?"he asked you, you nod your head at him. He sits down next to you, seeing the scrolls of poems you had."Still reading those. I was barely able to stand one."
"One which you remember very well."you tell him.
"I guess, how many have you read so far?"
"A couple of them, their all by the same person."
"Really? This person didn't have anything better to do then write poems? Its a good thing we live in the now."
You slightly laugh at what he said"Oh Raimundo their not that bad, old things are really neat. They take you back to places you could never dream off."
"Been back in time, been there done that."
"Stop it."you try hard not to laugh at his jokes, but it didn't work, he just smirks at you shaking his head."Though I should have been training with you guys instead of reading these. Sorry leader."you tease him a bit with the last part.
"Hey, its all cool. I don't mind its something you like to do. But your going to have to train tomorow. Master Monk Guan might seem nice at first but really he's like a drill sergent. Trust me I would know."he tells a bit scared, you arch an eyebrow at him.
Turning back you watch as the sun starts to fully set, he looks along with you and Aoi. In just a few seconds night came."That was lovely, don't you think?"you turn Raimundo, he turns and looks at you, you smile at him. He smiles back at you, nodding his head.
"Yeah it was."he tells you"Never really watched a sunset before like this."
"Well then we should do this more often then."you tell him patting his hand. You then get up holding out your hand as Aoi climb up it getting on you. Raimundo gets up as well, you look back at where the sun had just set, Raimundo looks at you as he watches you smile. Which brought a smile to his face."..."both of you, a small wind blew causing you to shiver.
Grabbing onto yourself to warm yourself, you stop when you felt something being put around you. You look and see it was Raimundo's robe top."Lets get inside."he tells you leading you away.
Master Monk Guan watched you and him from afar as you both crossed the temple grounds, he watches closely at the way you both interact before the others came over. Turning around he goes back inside the temple
