And the rest of the warriors take a look at the old house that Sakamoto and Bao-Yi lived in.
Chapter 13: The Old House
That same afternoon, Oak Sung took the Five, Po, Okinawa, Musaki, Arizona, Zeke, all of Musaki's friends and relatives over to the forest for something really important they ought to see and Musaki definitely knew where they're going, but can't tell the others just yet because it would be given away quickly and Oak Sung looked at the rest and asked, "Do you know where we are going today?"
"No. Where are we going?" asked Naomi.
Oak chuckled softly at this and replied, "You will have to wait and see."
Naomi started to get a little impatient, but really anxious as to where they're going and she said, "When are we gonna get there?"
"Patience, child." Oak said, in a calm voice.
They all continued walking by the forest and Okinawa was the only one patiently waiting to see what's gonna come out of this experience and Okinawa whispered in Musaki's ear, "So...what's the big surprise?"
"Grandfather says it's the most amazing place you'll ever see." Musaki whispered back.
"How far are we going, Mr. Oak?" asked Mason.
"Just a little further. And don't call me mister. It's just Oak." Oak replied.
Musaki elbowed Mason's arm and he said to the puma, "My grandpa doesn't want to be referred to as 'mister'. It's better to just call him by Oak."
"Got it." Mason whispered.
Sooner or later, Oak walked towards these bushes and he was definitely confident to know that they're inches closer to the destination and he said, "We are almost there."
Everyone followed Oak as they walked past a few bushes and they heard a distant rush of the waterfall and Musaki quietly figured out where they're heading and he knew that it would be where they're going to now and as the roar of the waterfall got closer and closer, they had finally made it. Oak turns to the others and said, "Here we are..."
As soon as everyone walked up, all eyes were widened and jaws were dropped down to the floor as they witnessed the most beautiful sight they've ever seen. As for Okinawa, he was the most floored when he took a huge look at this place. He chuckled and said, "Whoa...what is this place?"
"This is where your parents used to live after they were married and before they had Xing-Fu and Zeke." Oak replied.
"That's amazing." Okinawa whispered.
Musaki chuckled at this and he said, "And this is the house where Zeke and I spent our early days until we split up. Since then, I spent my first three years with them right up until they died. You know, it was all such a blur to me the minute I stepped back, but it quickly brought back a whole lot of memories for me."
"And surprisingly...it was in that same place where your parents made you when they were teenagers." Oak added.
Okinawa and most of the others were surprised that their parents were so young when they became parents and Mantis said, "How old were they?"
"Sakamoto was almost 19 and Bao-Yi was 18 at the time." Oak replied.
"Ohh...so that means they didn't wait until marriage. Saki, your parents must've done some serious mating all night..." Mantis began, but got cut off by Musaki.
"Shaddep." Musaki said, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Even I don't want to hear the end of it." Tigress agreed.
Oak turns to Mantis and he said to him, "We all get what you mean by that. Just do not say it in front of the children."
Max tug on Oak's cloak and he asked, "What is mating?"
Oak froze for a minute and he was stunned after hearing this from a nine year old and he pats the white tiger cub on the head and said, "Maybe you should discuss it with your dad when you get older."
"Yeah, like when you're 19." Mako added.
"Or 21." Arizona stated.
Naomi took one look at the house and is surprised that it's in good condition because normally, it would be old and abandoned and not in good shape and she asked Oak, "It looks so perfect. I thought it would be unusable."
"We did not plan to leave it in a condemned state. We come there every so often to make sure it will remain clean and still in good use. We would often have family gatherings at this house because it is how Sakamoto and Bao-Yi loved it and often times, I would come here for a little bit of training and meditation when I please." Oak added.
"I thought you'd do it by your house." Arizona said.
"I do, but I go wherever I go to feel at peace and in my zen mode." Oak replied.
Kendall chuckled at this and is super amazed by Oak's wisdom and said, "I wish you could be my mentor."
Okinawa came to Oak and said, "How come I never knew about this place?"
"I wanted to tell you all these years, but I thought that if there was a way that you, Xing-Fu and Zeke will come together to see the house in person, I would take this opportunity to show it to you all and now that it finally happened, now's a good time." Oak replied.
"I wanna see what the inside looks like." Reiko stated.
Not long after, they walked inside the house and it remained the same way as it was years before and one look at this house and it already has the Bushido-Akio welcoming feeling surrounding them and they all let out a collective, "Wow..."
"This place is beautiful." Viper said, amazed.
"I wish I could have a house like that." Spencer said.
"Looks like something I can bring girls in." Carlos added.
Oak Sung, Okinawa, Musaki and Zeke were really impressed and they knew that it would bring a lot of memories in this place and Okinawa said, "I think I'm starting to feel like I'm back into being in the family."
"And you have been for a while. Xing-Fu said that he is planning on making this his permanent home when he comes to live at his hometown again." Oak Sung added.
Musaki nodded at that and he said, "It will be great to bring Summer here, so we can get married, have kids and grow old together. It'd be really awesome."
Po smiled at that for a minute and he said to Musaki, "I hope I can visit."
"Yeah, you and the Five are welcome here." Musaki said, happily.
Just then, they noticed parts of the Hazards coming in the front part of the house and Kiba was the first one to notice them and said, "Oh...hey guys."
"Kiba? What are you doing here?" asked Monkey, raising his eyebrow.
Kiba comes in the house with his hand behind his neck and said, "We came over to take in the sights of this valley and visit this house again."
"We?" everyone asked.
One-by-one, they see Ryo, Takami, Skyler, Faith, Hope and Layla come by and they saw the masters standing there, waving at them and Oak chuckled softly and said, "Looks like we got new visitors here."
Stick around for more! Happy Thanksgiving!
