Chapter 14: Zeke's Secret
Zeke walked outside to really set his mind on what Master Shifu has told him about letting go of the past and just accepting what is and what was. He sighed heavily and walked across the Jade Palace, only ending up in the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom, where there was no one around.
He sat down near the tree and felt the wind blowing through his fur and feels a little bit of peacefulness inside of him. He keeps thinking about Musaki and how he was willing to give him a chance and give him a chance to trust anyone and also to forgive and forget what happened in the past. When he sees Musaki and Shifu, he could see that he's learning about trust and forgiveness and that he has to learn about it.
He sighed heavily and wonders that there's something in his chest that he needs to let out. He remembers one time writing a song by himself on one of his moments where he realized he had a brother and it was before he came there. He felt the wind blowing through him and started letting everything out of his feelings and just let it go.
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights are long
'cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy
Yea when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I
I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I
I look at you
When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone
Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I
I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I
I look at you
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need
Every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful
Yeah yeah
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I
I look at you
I look at you
Yeah
Whoa-oh
You appear just like dream to me
Everything that was inside of Zeke has been released in song and he lets it out like never before. He breathed deeply and felt the wind blowing through him again and for the first time ever, he felt a sense of peace surrounding him. All of a sudden, he hears someone crying behind him. He turns around and realizes that it's Po, along with Musaki, Crane, Mantis, Monkey, Viper, Shanghai, Sudoku, Mookie, Ty, Sonic, Brian, Joey, Seth, Miko and Shify behind him
Zeke chuckled embarassedly and asked, "How much of that did you actually happen to hear?"
"Just when you started singing the chorus of the song." Musaki answered.
"I've only known you for a day and you never told us you had a singing voice." Crane said.
"Well, sometimes I kept it a secret from everyone I know."
"Zeke! Why keep such an amazing talent from us? It's amazing." Viper said.
"You really think so?"
"You even put Po to tears...again."
Zeke chuckled and said, "Sorry, Po."
Po wiped his eyes twice and said, "I'm only crying because....it's so beautiful with what you just sang."
"Is he always like this?"
"Just barely." Monkey said.
"Don't worry. He always does this after I sing."
All of a sudden, a voice came out of nowhere and it was a white dog with blue eyes, wearing blue jeans and a blue shirt. It came across the way and Musaki was the first to react.
"Hey, Ichi!"
Ichi looked at Musaki and said, "What's going on, buddy?"
"Not much."
"Wait, wait, wait, wait a second. You...know this guy?" asked Mookie.
"Yeah, he's....my best friend."
"Your best....friend?" asked Brian.
"I thought we were your best friends." said Ty.
"You are. It's after you guys were adopted and after I got adopted, Ichi became my friend. We've known each other for so long and we started getting along great and we became....best friends. So, I now have 10 best friends."
"We're cool with that." Shanghai said.
"Really?"
"Hey, any friend of Musaki are friends of ours."
"I agree with you."
Ichi looked at Zeke and he looked kinda like Musaki and he asked, "Who's he?"
Musaki turned his attention to Ichi and looked at Zeke and chuckled embarassed-like and said, "Where are my manners? Ichi, this is Zeke. Zeke, this is Ichi."
"Nice to meet you, Zeke." Ichi said.
"Likewise. This is the first time I've seen a creature like this before." Zeke said.
"Well, don't get used to it."
Ichi turns around and sees everyone else and said, "Hi, guys!"
"Hey, Ichi! How's it going, little bro?" asked Po.
"Going great! Hey, Musaki. How'd you know Zeke?"
"Well, he's my twin brother."
Ichi drops his jaw and asked, "Really?"
"Yep. This is the real thing."
"Wow! That's amazing!"
Hope klonoakazeno doesn't mind putting Ichi in this story. The song was 'When I Look at You' from Miley Cyrus. Love that song a lot! Stay tuned for more!
