We got one more chapter left and because Musaki brought the whole gang with him, he needs a lot more support to meet his older brother for the first time.

Chapter 21: Added Support

The entire clan set off to where Okinawa and his adopted father lives and for Musaki, it's all filled with excitement, anxiety and above all...extreme curiosity because he really wanted to find out more about himself than he already knew about his relatives before, but this time...it's very huge and deeply introspective, unlike anything he's ever had to deal with before.

On the way there, Oak Sung noticed Liu Shang, Taji, Shao and Shin Hai coming this way and they couldn't help but notice them heading somewhere and they followed him and Oak turned to them and said, "Hello, men. What brings you out here this morning?"

"Well...we saw this huge entourage you got, Oak. So we thought we wanted to see what's all the hubbub." Shin replied.

Soon enough, Shin couldn't help but notice Musaki coming in and he immediately got excited and said, "Saki! If I had known you'd come by the Valley, I would've gotten a reminder first."

Musaki was happy to see Shin as well and he said, "I thought Shao had already told you."

"No, he has not." Shin replied, shifting his glare to Shao.

Shao looked very innocent and just looked up at the sky and Shin could tell that it's a sign that he obvious knew Musaki was there and didn't have the good sense to tell him and Shin said, "Shao..."

"Well...I wanted to tell you he was here, but you were a little busy with work, so I thought I should tell you whenever we get a chance to come to your store." Shao explained.

"Uh-huh." Shin replied, folding his arms and still giving him the eye.

Oak chuckled softly at this and he said, "Well...it is no harm here. We are taking Xing-Fu to see one of his dad's old friends, Azuko."

"Azuko? I haven't seen that guy in a few years now. It's been a very long time since I've seen him. What's he been up to these days, Oak?" asked Shin.

"Well...he's been working a lot and he's been around the Valley for sometime now. We were actually on our way there now so Xing-Fu can meet Okinawa for the first time." Oak answered.

Shin widened his eyes at the sound of the name and he was in shock due to the news and he asked, "You don't mean...?"

"Yep, Sakamoto's firstborn." Oak said.

"Does he know that Okinawa could be...?" asked Shin.

"Very much so."

Musaki rolled his eyes and he cleared his throat and asked, "Why does everyone else know about Okinawa and I'm just now finding out?"

"I've already mentioned to you; your parents were teenagers when they had Okinawa and then they gave him up during the Mongolian war to their friend Azuko, who he raised all these years ago and they had you and Zeke years later when they got married. Your parents wanted to tell you about your older brother when you actually got older, but they never had a chance to because Tai Lung took their lives and now...their spirits told you that you should come face to face with Okinawa." Oak replied.

Soon enough, all of it made perfect understanding and even Liu Shang, Taji and Shao were speechless as to what Oak has just said and Liu asked, "You had an older brother?"

"I asked myself the same question when my parents first told me." Musaki admitted.

"You might need us to come with you, man. We want to meet him too." Shao added.

Tigress was completely getting irritable with this delay and she just said, "Can we just get a move on now?"

Oak was well-aware of Tigress' impatience and he remained calm as he turned to her and said, "Have patience, child. We will make our way soon enough."

With that, they were on their way towards the forest area and Tigress was a little bit surprised by how Oak Sung took it and then she said to herself, "I'm not a child."

"No, but you are starting to act like one." Max added.

Tigress wanted to wring Max's little neck for that little remark he just made and she said, "That's coming from an actual child."

"It's my job." Max stated.

Later on, they walked towards the wooded parts of the Valley and Oak knew the exact spot that's a little further from Shin Hai's house...only 12 miles from there and Shin was a little surprised that he could be living a little closer to Azuko's place and never had any idea about it at first and he said to himself, "If I ever see Azuko's house, I'm gonna pay a little visit in the future."

"Don't make promises you know you can't keep, dad." Shao added.

Shin chuckled and scoffed at what Shao just said and he turned to Shao and said, "There are some I can and can't keep."

As they reached closer and closer, Musaki has never felt so nervous before in his life that this is starting to happen, but excited at the same time as he's gonna meet Okinawa and this is considered a huge deal for him, but doesn't let that get inside his head to know that there's gonna be a good outcome for this.

"You ready for this, Xing-Fu?" asked Oak.

Musaki nodded his head in response and he said, "Yes, grandpa."

"Excellent...because we are here." Oak Sung added.

Everyone took a look at this house that it's where Okinawa and Azuko live and as they set foot on the front part, they were amazed by how secluded yet welcoming it is. Shin was also taken aback by how it looks and he said, "Whoa...how did I not find this place sooner?"

"Xing-Fu...come with me. It's time." Oak added.

Musaki was anxious, but the touch of Po's hand on his shoulder gave him enough confidence to soldier on and just follow Oak to the front door of Azuko's house and as he stood by his grandfather's side, Musaki was more ready than anything.

One more chapter left! Stay tuned for the awesome conclusion of Part one!
