HAHA!!! SHE STOLE HIS GOGGLES!!! -grins- I always wanted to steal d'em goggles. This chapter title kind of gives away what it's about. BUT OH WELL!!!!

Disclaimer: Visit last chapter. Or the one before that.


Chapter 8:Cupid's Arrow (or) I'm Hit!


I fell asleep with the goggles on my head, not thinking that they would notice them.

So of course when I woke up, I was too sleepy to take them off.

I just walked out of my room with my purple silk pajamas on and went to the kitchen.

I made a cup of coffee, gulped it down hot, and waited for someone else to wake up (it was still dark out.)

I was flipping through the Global Inquirer when Rai woke up.

He just stood in front of me and stared. I looked up sleepily.

"Whattayawant." I was still sleepy.

"Those are some interesting goggles. Where'd you get 'em?"

"Eye-ound-im."

"What?"

"I FOUND THEM."

"Where?"

"I dunno, ah-um-ors-ouse."

"I can't understand what your saying!!!"

"At some dork's house!!!"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Hmmm...What house was it? I thought everyone you knew was back in Tokyo?"

"Aye do you air so much about ooh's ouse I go to, Raimundo."

"You need to go to speech classes. And I don't care. I just wanted to know."

"If you didn't care, why ould you ask?"

"I don't care!"

"Yeah, ell I don't care that you don't care!"

"I don't care that you don't care that I don't care!"

I yawned.

"I'm too ired-for-is, Rai. We'll ight-ater, OK?"

He looked at me like I was crazy. Everyone knew I loved to fight with other people over nothing.

"Are you OK? Do you have a fever or something?"

I tried to shake my head but instead I laid my head on the table and dozed off.

I woke up to someone dumping cold water on my face.

"WHAT THE HELL?!?!" I screeched at the top of my lungs, trying to get my soaking hair out of my face.

"Oh, does that mean we get to fight now. Kat?"

Finally, I leaned forward and flipped my hair back, staring at Rai in anger.

"Heck yeah!!"

I pounced on him and tackled him to the ground. He yelped, obviously not thinking a girl could pin him down like I did.

When the other monks came out to see what was happening, I was sitting on his back and pinning his arms down to his sides.

Kimiko grinned, Omi looked confused, and Clay was a tiny bit annoyed.

"You go girl!!"

But finally he managed to get me off of his back.

I fell backwards and landed on my back.

I glared at Rai and swiped my feet beneath his, making him fall on his back as well. I quickly got up and grinned at him.

"Oh look, girls are still higher on the food chain."

--

Sooner or later, the others noticed the gogles as well. Me and Clay had the same fight as me and Rai did. But Kimiko and Omi just assumed that I found them on the ground and didn't bother asking.

But after lunch, Dojo said a Shen Gong Wu was activating. He said he didn't recognize it, and I grinned.

If he didn't recognize it, then I must've made it. When I was in the fifth grade, I made a lot of Shen Gong Wu and then would just get my mom to drive me some where random for a "class project" and I'd ditch it.

So off we went.

Now, I'm some one who can't stay quiet for a long time (unless I'm dead or sleeping) so the whole trip I pretty much was annoying everyone to death.

"Dojo, are you the dragon off of Never Ending Story???"

Before he could answer- "Ooh! Are we going on an adventure??? I love adventures! I wanna be like Captain K'Nuckles!!!!"

"Shut up, Kat!!! Nobody except little kids watch FlapJack!!!" Rai shouted, glaring back at me.

I pouted. "But I'm not a little kid and I watch it! Where else do I get my annoyance techniques?"

He rolled his eyes.

-Five minutes later-

"Το Dojo, εσείς είναι τόσο παχύ!"

"Uh...thanks?"

"Εκτάριο εκτάριο!" (Translation: Ha ha!)

Everyone didn't understand a single thing I said. (Go to babelfish(.)yahoo(.com) to translate it. It's in German.)

"Kimiko, вы шлюха!" (Russian)

"What?"

"Hey Clay! Warum sind Sie so fett?"

"HEY!"

"Oops, you understand German?"

"No, but now I know what language to look it up as."

-__-'

-One minute later-

"Oh my gosh, Omi! Don't you just love squirrels? I especially like their vampire teeth and razor-sharp claws!"

He started to turn red and every one glared at me.

"What?" I seriously didn't know Omi was scared of squirrels, I swear!!

--

"Omi. We need to have a talk."

"What?"

"I've been sensing a disturbance in the force. It's telling me that you...need help...with....girls."

"Oh noooo. I have the ancient guide to females. Ask Kimiko, it's absolutely correct!"

Kimiko rolled her eyes.

"It's as incorrect as it could get," she whispered to me later.

-10 seconds-

I shot a spit ball at Omi, and when he turned around, I said, "Raimundo! Why would you do that to poor Omi?"

Everyone glared at Raimundo, who was looking confused.

Fortunately for the rest of the monks and dojo, we got there before I could do anything else.

We were in the deep Amazon forest (Note:If this location has been used before, I'm sorry. I haven't memorized every location yet.)

I already knew where the shen gong wu was, so I didn't really try.

But then I really tried when we all heard helicopter blades. It took me a few minutes to realize that they weren't helicopter blades. No, they were the hand blades on his new and improved Jack-Bot.

All of our group was spread out in the forest. And what were the chances that he would land in front of me? Let's see.... 1 to 1, I'd guess. He obviously did it on purpose because he was grinning.

"Hey, Kat! It took me half the time to get here!"

His grin faded when he saw the goggles.

"Hey, are those..."

I made myself wide-eyed.

"What are you talking about? I don't-"

"You have my goggles?!"

"...No?"

"Give them back!!!"

"No!!"

I ran off although I could hear him on my tail.

Unfortunately, I tripped on something. I was about to jump up and start running again, when I saw what it was. It was pretty much a crossbow gun, except its arrow were glittery pink. But the rest was black. I gaped. You have now just heard the description of the Cupid's Arrow.

He was about to tackle me and snatch the goggles when he saw what I was gaping at.

We both darted for it at the same time.

He grabbed it, I fell on my stomach and was eye to eye with his feet.

He studied it, not sure what it does.

"What the heck is this? I haven't ever heard of this Shen Gong Wu."

I stood up and pulled a twig out of my hair.

"It's called the Cupid's Arrow. It makes a person fall in love with you with one shot; that is, if you hit them. They don't even have to be looking at you. It reloads itself and makes its own arrows," I said as I started combing my hair with my fingers.

He raised an eyebrow and studied it more.

"Don't point it at yourself!!! You're already full of yourself!"

He rolled his eyes.

"This doesn't make sense. How come you knew all about it but Wuya didn't?"

"Who's Wuya?"

"The crazy ghost lady."

I shuddered. "Oh, God! Who named her 'Soaring turkey vulture'?" (Note: Actually, 'Soaring turkey vulture' is for Wuyi, but I couldn't find Wuya and that was the closest.)

He laughed. "Where'd you get that from?"

I shrugged. "I look up crazy names and their meanings."

He smiled.

And then I grinned all goofy. "Hey, I'm named a city, a mountain, and my name means victorious beauty and defender of mankind."

He rolled his eyes and grinned. "Braggart."

"Hey, it's not my fault your name means 'someone who steals'!!!" (Note: IT REALLY DOES!!! His name means supplanter and the definition of supplanter is noun: one who wrongfully or illegally seizes and holds the place of another)

He raised an eyebrow. "It does?"

I nodded. "Yeah. My uncle's name is Jack so I looked it up and-"

He "accidentally" (I'm not sure if it was an accident or not) pulled the trigger and it me right in the thigh.

I screamed and fell to my knees, clutching my leg.

He dropped to his knees and asked if I was OK.

I couldn't answer becasue I blacked out.

Alright, most of y'all already know I'm a rabid Jack fangirl. (Heck, my pen name used to say so!) So you know what's gonna happen in the next chapter.

Review, and I hope that I can get chapter 9 up aysap.
