Hola! don't have much to say since i've updated within a week. so, enjoy!

THE NEXT DAY

The day before Aisha got the day off from training and hasn't been seen since.

'This can't be good,' Chase thought as he walked to her room late that afternoon.

He quietly opened the door. The room had an afternoon glow with the only light coming from the open french doors that led to her mini balcony. He went to go close the doors and glanced at the bed. There she was, sprawled across her bed asleep in what she was wearing the day before. He looked her up and down and concluded that she probably took a hike through a jungle. Her pants, shirt, and boots were splotched with mud and shallow cuts. Her left arm had a deep gash that was still badly bleeding. Next to her head was a small deep purple chest, and below it was Deja, also asleep. The chest wasn't all that interesting to him, but his curiousity got the better of him. He reached over Aisha and picked it up. The chest already had its golden key in the lock and both were covered in inscriptions.

'Most likely some type of enchantment,' he thought. He turned the key and the top clicked and popped open a bit, emitting a bright light through the crack. He fully opened the top to find a ball of bright light sitting on a velvet purple cloth. Lost in a few seconds of amazement, he suddenly dropped it as a bloodcurdling screech erupted from the chest.

Aisha shot upright from her sleep and alarmingly looked around. Her hands quickly covered her ears as she glared at Chase.

"What the hell did you do?!" she shouted at him over the screaming.

"What'd you say?!" Chase shouted back.

"Ugh!" she sighed and got off the bed and closed the chest with her foot.

The screaming stopped at once and they both uncovered their ears.

"What was that?" Chase asked Aisha as she picked up the chest and put it on her dresser.

"A piece of the sun," she responded rolling her shoulders back and cracking her neck.

"Where do you find stuff like that," he asked examining a jade skull that also sat on the dresser.

"I...'borrowed' it from those homicdal Incas," she said motioning to the chest. "Its a gift that they recieve from their sun god after a certain number of sacrifices. That scream was the sound of all the people who were sacrificed. I needed it for something."

"So that explains why you didn't get back until today."

"Well, yeah, that and I had to stop home for a minute. Ow," she said from the bathroom as she inspected her injuries. "When I told my father I'd be here with you, he was furious."

"Is that where the cuts came from?"

"No, of course not! This was from those crazy mummified Incas and their arrows. Here, could you put some of this on my ankle."

Out of courtesy, he obeyed her request and entered the bathroom. She sat on the counter with her left leg with the bruised ankle stretched out on the counter. But what made Chase stop in the doorway was the fact that she had shed her black pants for black shorts that exposed her leg from the middle of her thigh down. To Chase her legs were perfect works of art. Her soft, indian brown color glowed in the light and its smooth texture had not a blemish on them.

"I think I might have twisted it. Stupid rock," she said sucking her teeth and moving her foot side to side. "Chase? What do you think?" she lifted her leg and then rotated her foot.

"Well if you can do that, its not twisted," Chase answered her with his smart-alecky voice.

"Yeah, but it hurts, alot."

He took her foot in his hand and quikly snapped it to the side until it cracked.

"Ouch! What the holy hell was that for!" she shouted pulling her foot away from him.

"I just cracked it. Your ankle's fine. Come here," he stated motioning her to bring her foot back out.

She stretched out her leg again and then handed Chase a jar of pink geletain. He opened it and gently massaged it onto her ankle. Aisha sharply inhaled when the cold substance came in contact with her skin, but then relaxed as it ajusted to her body temperature.

She sighed when Chase closed the jar and she stood back up on the floor. "So I guess this means its training time."

"Right. Training Room in 5 minutes," he said from the doorway to her room.

"10," Aisha said.

"5," Chase repeated closing the door.

"Fine!" Aisha yelled at the closed door.

FIVE MINUTES LATER

Aisha strolled into the room exactly 5 minutes later in a white short-sleeved shirt and black cargo pants. When she was a couple feet away from him, they bowed to each other and she took a fighting stance.

"No, today you will learn a new fighting style, Tae Kwon Do," Chase said raising his hand as a signal to drop her fighting stance.

"Tae Kwon Do? I already know Tae Kwon Do. What's is have to do with Tai Chi anyway?"

"Basic Tae Kwon Do is the basis of learning the balance needed in Tai Chi for better control and flow of energy."

"...Good enough," she said giving in.

"Good. Walking stance right leg out. Go."

"Kyaa!" Aisha said when stepped forward with her right leg. Her right leg was bent and her back leg was straight both of her hands were bent at her waist with her fists facing upward.

"Wallking left low block, go."

"Kyaa!" she said again. Her left leg was know forward and bent and her right leg was back and straight. Her right fist was still at her waist and her left arm was straight and parallel to her left knee.

Chase circled her, checking her form. "All 20 moves of the Kunchi Won, go."

"Aisha began a series of low blocks, punches, and turns, and ki-upped (shouted Kyaa!) on the last punch. When she finished, she turned to Chase and stood straight up.

"Very good. Gomon, chum-chigi."

Aisha relaxed and then took a deep breath in and exhaled.

"Great, that's one less thing I have to teach you. On to Tai Chi. Do as I do and try not to actually release any energy."

With his left index and middle finger, Chase brought his left hand from his right shoulder and down to his stomach. He extended his left hand with his index and middle fingers pointing out to the left and used his right index and middle fingers and traced ffrom his stomach, up his chest on the other side, and along his left arm. He then opened his right hand fully and brought that arm around to his other side and shot a black energy out of that hand at the wall. He repeated it a few times without releasing any energy and then Aisha joined in once she understood. They practiced this move a few more times, but on the last try a small purple stream of energy shot out of her hand and ignited the end of Chase's hair.

"Ah! Oh my god!" she shouted covering her mouth.

"What is it?" he asked turning around.

"Your hair's on fire!" she quickly squealed.

"I didn't mean to do it. I swear!" she quickly responded grabbing his hair and putting out the small flame. "All better."

Chase let out a frustrated sigh and massaged the area between his eyes. That's when amuffled growl echoed through the room.

"What, I haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon," Aisha said when Chase looked up at her.

"Go," was all he said in response and Aisha bowed and quickly left the room. For someone who had traveled the world, she seemed to still had alot to learn. Through this observation, Chase was able to conclude that Aisha was rather vunerable and yet, so strong willed. She was able to have control over both good and bad situations. Any real person who had lost conrtol of their powers would have been completely distruat. She just walks around like everything's fine, even though this is a good attribute, it leaves her with a huge weak spot; anything could easily set her off the edge.

'...Take what you have learned and use it to your advantage Chase. With enough time and effort, your work will pay off in your favor...'

Chase's eyes snapped open from his meditating as a presence approached. He had obviously been meditating for quite a while, because as she entered the room, Aisha was already walking around in her black nightrobe.

"Some woman is here to see you," she said in a teasing voice.

'Woman?' was all that went through Chase's head as he tried to figure out who it was.

"Says her name is Wu-yak or something," she said.

"Tell her I'm not here," Chase said suddenly realizing who it was.

"Too late, I'm already here," a red-haired woman said leaning against the doorway. "And the name's Wuya."

"Hey look lady, didn't I tell you to wait outside!"

"I don't have to do anything you say child," Wuya said gettin' all up in Aisha's grill (face for those of you who don't noe what it means & obviously have missed out on the past 6 years of the 21 century).

Aisha opened her mouth and was about to retailiate to that last comment but Chase pulled away quickly enough before a battle broke out. "Thank you Aisha, I can handle it from here."

Aisha retreated to her room clearly frustrated at Wuya and her insult.

"Well Chase, let's get down to business," Wuya said, and Chase led her to his War Room.

"Was that the girl?" Wuya asked him when she was seated.

"Yes," Chase answered with a small sigh.

"Are you serious, that spunky little roudy...Nevermind, -sigh- Those Guans sure know how to pick them," she said sitting back in her chair.

"So what's the plan?"he asked her.

An evil smile spread across her face, "I thought you'd never ask..."
