"Mei-Ling!! Mei-Ling, where are you?!?" A lovely pinked haired woman yelled from her front porch "Mei-Ling!!"
The woman shifted her weight to one leg and placed her hands on her hips. She looked to be in her early 30's, with long pink hair, and sapphire blue eyes.
"Where on earth could that child be?" the woman wondered as she fiddled with the hem of her apron "Mei-Ling!!!"
She was about to turn around and go into the house when a small pinked haired girl appeared on the porch.
"You called me mommy?" the little girl asked innocently. She was a cute child, around 4 years old, with hair and eyes like her mothers.
"Where have you been?" her mother asked "It's time for chruch. Come inside and let me....." she trailed off as she caught sight of her daughters tattered dress and the bruise that was begining to form around her left eye.
"Mei-Ling Mioko!!" the woman cried "Have you been fighting again?!"
"Nu uh." Mei-Ling shook her head.
"Don't you dare lie to me young lady. Tell me the truth, why were you fighting this time?"
"Richie Vanderhause called me a priss." Mei-Ling replied "So I hit him. Then he pushed me down and hit me back......mommy, whats a priss?"
"Don't worry about it." her mother told her "I don't want you fighting anymore. Especially with little Richie Vanderhause. I'm gonna have a talk with his mother right after chruch."
"No!!" Mei-Ling cried "Then he'll try to beat me up again."
"Why don't you just walk away next time he picks a fight with you?"
"Cause then everyone would call me a coward. I'm not a coward, am I mommy?"
"No honey, you're not a coward. Now come inside and clean up for chruch."
******************************************
"You're gonna get it now you little priss!!" the cry had come from an 8 year old boy with bright red hair.
His name was Richie Vanderhause and he pissed. Mei-Lings mother had been true to her word, and had spoken with the boys mother about their children fighting. As a result, Richie had gotten the beating of his life, and now wanted to return the favor to Mei-Ling.
"Come back here and fight!!" Richie yelled as he chased Mei-Ling across the church yard.
Mei-Ling stopped running and turned around. "I don't fight anymore." she said "Especially with little brats like you."
"What did you call me?!" Richie cried "Oooooh, you're really asking for it miss priss!"
"Leave me alone Richie. I'm not gonna fight you."
"Coward!!" Richie teased "Mei-Ling Miokos a coward!!"
By now several children had gathered around, and were joining Richie in calling Mei-Ling a coward.
"Coward!!" they yelled "Little Mei-Ling has turned chicken!!"
Mei-Ling felt her face getting hot and she clenched her fists. "I am NOT a coward!!" she screamed as she pushed Richie to the ground. She sat on top of him and proceeded to hit him repeatedly.
The rest of the children moved in closer and began to chant, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Mei-Ling was about to deliver another punch when she felt someone pulling her off of the boy. It was her mother.
"I've had just about enough of you!!" her mother yelled "You've embarassed me for the last time young lady!"
Mei-Ling lowered her eyes. "Sorry mommy." she whispered.
"Not as sorry as you're gonna be." her mother said as she pulled her daughter away from the group of children.
Mei-Ling glanced back over her shoulder to see Richies mother give him a swift swat across the rear. The little girl smiled to herself. She may be in trouble, but at least Richie would get it too.
******************************************
"This is for fighting." Mei-Lings mother said as she gave her daughter a swat "And this is for disobeying me again." she delivered another harsh swat to the girls backside. "Now you go to your room and don't come out until I call you."
Mei-Ling sniffled and started up the stairs to her room. Half way up she stopped and turned around. "I hate you!!" she cried.
"What did you say?" her mother asked.
"I said I hate you!!" Mei-Ling cried again. She bolted down the stairs and out the door "I HATE YOU!!!"
"Mei-Ling!! Get back here right now!!" her mother called, but the little girl had already disappeared into the woods at the edge of the village.
******************************************
"I hate her." Mei-Ling whispered as she sat down under a tall oak tree "I hate her, I hate her, I hate her." She pulled her knees up to her chin and burried her face in her arms.
She sat there for a few minutes, crying her eyes out, when she felt the presence of someone standing over her.
Mei-Ling lifted her head to find a strange looking man standing in front of her. He was about 2 and a half feet taller than she was, with purple skin and a white mohawk.
"Are you alright little one?" the man asked " Why are you crying?"
Mei-Ling wipped her eyes and blinked. "Who are you?" she asked.
"I am Shin." the man replied "What is your name?"
"Mei-Ling Mioko."
"Its very nice to meet you Mei-Ling." Shin smiled as he sat down beside her "Now tell me, why are you so sad?"
"Because I hate my mommy." Mei-Limng sniffed "I really hate her."
"Come now." Shin said as he brushed a strand of bright pink hair out of the girls face "Those are very harsh words for such a little girl. I'm sure you don't really hate your mother."
"Yes I do." Mei-Ling nodded "She's mean to me. She sent me to my room."
"Well I'm sure she had good reason. What did you do?"
"Nothing....."
Shin sighed as he glanced at the girls black eye. "Ah" he smiled "I think I see what has happened. You've been fighting."
"Richie Vanderhause started it!" Mei-Ling cried defensively "He called me a priss and a coward."
"Oh my, a priss and a coward. You don't look like either one of those things to me."
"I'm not." Mei-Ling said "Richies 4 years older than me and I can still whip him."
"You know its not nice to fight with people." Shin told her "Especially little boys twice your age."
"Yeah, I guess not." Mei-Ling sighed "But I hate being called a coward. Richie had it coming to him. He's the coward, not me."
Shin laughed slightly. Mei-Ling certainly was a spunky little girl, and awfully adorable.
Mei-Ling raised an eyebrow as she stared at her new friend. "You're funny looking." she giggled "Uh.... what are you anyway?"
"I am the Supreme Kai."
"Oooooh!" Mei-Ling nodded "Whats a Supreme Kai?"
Shin couldn't held but laugh. He'd never been asked that question before. Now he had to try and explain it to a 4 year old.
"Well" he began "You go to church, right?"
"Uh huh."
"Well I am the highest God in the universe."
"WOW!" Mei-Lings eyes widened "Really?"
"Really."
Mei-Ling giggled again. "I've never met a God before." she said "Wanna come home with me and meet my mommy?"
"I thought you hated you mother."
"Nah, she's not so bad. Now come on." Mei-Ling stood up and pulled Shin to his feet.
******************************************
"What religion are you?" Shin asked as Mei-Ling led him towards her village.
"Uh....I can't remember." Mei-Ling replied "But thats my church." she pointed across a narrow dirt road to a small white building. The sign on the outside of the church read, "First Assembly of Kaioshin."
Shin smiled. "This should be interesting." he said, more to himself than to her.
"Mommy?!" Mei-Ling ran through the open door of her house "Mommy, come meet my new friend!"
"Mei-Ling, where have you been?" her mother asked as she appeared from the kitchen "I've been worried sick about......" she stopped mid sentence when she saw her daughters new friend. "Lord Kaioshin!" she cried with a bow.
Shin blushed. "Please call me Shin." he said "And don't bow. I never knew I had worshipers here on earth."
"We're few and far between." Mei-Lings mother replied "Please, come in and sit down."
"Thank you, Mrs. Mioko." Shin smiled graciously as he followed the woman to the living room.
"Call me Sarah." the woman replied "Can I get you something to drink?"
"No thank you, I'm fine."
Mei-Ling sat down on the couch next to Shin and folded her hands in her lap. "Wanna see my room?" she asked.
"Mei-Ling." her mother warned "Do not bother him with silly things."
"Oh its quite alright." Shin smiled down at Mei-Ling "I'd love to see your room."
"Ok." Mei-Ling jumped off the couch and grabbed Shins hand "Its up stairs." she said as she practically dragged the Kai up the wooden staircase.
******************************************
Mei-Lings room was a typical girls room, pink and frilly, with stuffed animals and dolls of all sorts. A large canope bed sat against the far wall, covered in toys.
"You can sit there." Mei-Ling said, pointing to a rocking chair in the corner "My mommy used to rock me to sleep in that chair when I was a baby."
Shin sat down in the rocker and watched as Mei-Ling began to search through the pile of dolls on her bed.
"This is Poof Poof." Mei-Ling said as she held up a ragged brown teddy bear "Hes my favorite." She walked over and handed the bear to Shin. "You can hold him if you want. Be real carefull, he's really old."
"I'll be extra carefull." Shin said as he held the bear. It was very old looking, the fur was torn in a couple places, and one of the button eyes looked like it would fall off any moment.
"My grandma gave him to me on my first birthday." Mei-Ling explained "He used to belong to her mommy."
"He's a lovely bear." Shin smiled "Did you name him?"
"Nu uh, my grandmas mommy named him a very long time ago. Poof Poof is gonna marry Molly."
"Oh?" Shin raised an eyebrow "And who is Molly?"
Mei-Ling ran back over to the bed and pulled a little rag doll out of the toy pile. "This is Molly." she said "Her and Poof Poof are getting married."
"Thats wonderful." Shin said "They look like a very happy couple."
"Oh they are." Mei-Ling giggled "Do you wanna have a tea party with us?"
"I'd love to" Shin replied "But I really must be going."
"Do you have to?" Mei-Ling pouted.
"I'm afraid so little one. But I'll come see you again tomorrow."
"Promise?"
"Yes, I promise."
"Ok then." Mei-Ling smiled as she tackled her new friend in a big hug "I'll see you tomorrow."
Shin hesitated for a moment before hugging her back. "I can't wait." he said.
*Blah, so she's a little young. She will grow up you know. But this way you can all see her grow up and get to know her a little better. ;)*
