It took us nearly two weeks to get back home, but that was alright I enjoyed roaming the countryside with Mulan who always wanted me to tell her stories about my past experiences as a guardian. Of course I was always ready to tell her.

One day as we were traveling I had just finished telling her about Fa Dang when an ugly man with a large dagger in his hand jumped out in front of us. This scared Khan to death causing him to rear up on his hind legs until Mulan calmed him.

I called him ugly because he was really ugly. He looked like a cross between Chi Fu and Alameda Slim with maybe a pinch of Stomboli. He had a large facial scar on his cheek and his nose was a little crooked like he had gotten into too many fights.

"Give me all your supplies before I cut your throat," he said in the most gravely voice I had ever heard.

"Oh sir don't take all of my supplies, I am trying to get home to my sick father who will die if I do not come home with medicine," said Mulan in a fake damsel in distress voice.

"Oh come on now, just give me that sword you have right there, I know your father does not want that," said the thief who pointed at Shan Yu's sword.

"But that is my grandfathers sword, I had gone to get it at the imperial city after he died just a few weeks ago," said Mulan. Man she was a good fibber.

The thief was now loosing patience and started to growl like a dog. "Give me that sword or I will throw this dagger right at your heart, I have very good aim," he said.

Mulan decided it was best to get down. Once she was down she untied the sword and handed it too the thief.

The thief smiled showing that he was missing quite a lot of teeth and the remaining few looked like they could fall off at any time. Right when he touched the sword, Mulan pushed it against his stomach. (It was the hilt side not the blade) knocking the wind out of him. Mulan then kicked him in the unmentionables and in the jaw. The thief fell in a daze.

"That wasn't very nice," he said as he spat out a tooth.

"Well its not very nice trying to steal from a young lady trying to get home, now get out of here before I sick Mushu on you," she said as I popped up when she said my name.

The thief saw me and just laughed. "That lizard, what is he going to do, flick his tongue out at me? Hahaha," he said laughing.

This angered me immensely so I jumped off Khan and looked him in the eye. "Oh I see your going to have a staring contest with me," he said.

"No that is not what I am going to do, turn around and bend over," I said to him.

The thief looked at me strangely before deciding to do what I said. I smiled when he showed off his butt too me and when he was just at the right angle, I let out the biggest fire ball I could muster.

The thief jumped up in shock and turned around to look at me. "That hurt!" he said. "Good I will make it hurt even more if you don't run now," I said. I could tell that the thief took me seriously and quickly ran into some nearby bushes where he stayed while Mulan and I continued our way down the road laughing at the poor guys predicament.

Three days after the incident, we finally arrived home. Mulan stopped a few yards from her house and stared at it in anticipation. "Well what are you waiting for, aren't you going in?" I asked her. "Mushu please be patient I'm trying to be ready for a big lecture by my father and I am not really ready for it," she said. "Oh okay I'm gonna go on ahead to the temple to apologize and hopefully get my job back," I said as I jumped off Khan. "Good luck," said Mulan who then watched me leave.

As I walked toward the temple, Little Brother, Mulan's dog ran up to me yapping and licking my face. "Nice to see you again too Little Brother," I said to him. He barked at me some more before running over to chase some chickens. That gave me an idea.

I decided that since Little Brother had not been able to feed the chickens in Mulan's absence then I would bring it back to him. I took the stick that had a bone on it and tied it around his neck. I then put a sack of grain behind him and let him go. Of course he ran after it like lightening witch chickens soon following him.

I laughed and then proceeded on my way to the temple. I found First Ancestor playing Mah Jong with another ancestor. He was so engrossed in the activity that he did not notice me. "Ahem, First Ancestor, I'm back," I said to him.

First Ancestor lifted his head and stared at me for a few minutes before turning to the window to see Mulan walking over to Fa Zhou.

"So does this mean I can be a guardian again?" I asked hopefully.

First Ancestor did not answer but continued to watch as Mulan handed her father the Emperors Crest and Shan Yu's sword. Fa Zhou did not say anything but bent down in the grass with Mulan and began to hug her. He was not mad at her after all.

Once they had finished embracing, Shang suddenly appeared. He looked a little nervous and was showing Mulan the helmet she had left which he then gave to Fa Zhou. Mulan chuckled at him and then asked if he would like to stay for dinner. Grandmother Fa quickly called back. "Would you like to stay forever," she said. She must have liked him too.

Shang just nodded agreeing to come and eat with them. I was glad for I knew that they both would soon fall in love.

Once everyone began to walk into the house, I decided to get First Ancestors attention by jumping up to the windowsill with him and pulling his ear. "Come on, who did a good job? Come on tell me who did a great job," I said.

First Ancestor sneered and then answered. "Oh all right," he said loudly. "You can be a guardian again," he said really low so none of the other ancestors could hear him.

I then cried out with joy as Cri Kee rang a nearby gong to wake up the rest of the ancestors. I then jumped on my old pedestal and looked down at Cri Kee. "Take it Cri Kee," I said. Cri Kee then began to beat some drums to start a wild party over the success of Mulan and I.

I began to swing on a rope but fell after I hit Fa Dang's head and landed outside on the hard steps.

I groaned from the pain and when I opened my eyes, and there was Mulan smiling at me. She gave me a kiss on the head before saying, "Thanks Mushu," I smiled and was about to say your welcome and that I hoped to be her guardian again someday when Little Brother came running up the steps with a half dozen chickens in pursuit. Then a sound from First Ancestor made me almost jump out of my skin.

"MUSHU!"

Oh great time to beg for mercy again. But hey at least I am now a guardian again.

That's my story now go away and read something else.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well that is the end of the chapter and the entire story as well. I had a great time writing it and I am so glad I had received so many reviews. Now I am going to take the time and thank each person who reviewed individually.

alibi girl- you were my first reviewer and let me tell you something. The day I got your review I had to cancel a day with my friend because there was a winter storm warning that was supposed to drop about six inches of snow but instead we got a light dusting which I found out about the next morning. Well after I had spent only an hour with my friend I was kinda sad and I decided to go home and hang out on the internet. I first checked my emails like I always do. I found your review and I was very happy and I kinda bounced around for the rest of the day and my mom wondered what was wrong with me. So thank you so much and keep up the good work with your stories.

SunRise19- I think your review came only a few hours after alibi girls so I was even more bouncy after I saw yours. Thank you for wishing me luck on college midterms I did okay but not that great I hope I can do better when finals come around. Thanks for also taking the time to talk to me online it was fun, if you want to talk to me any more feel free to do so. Also keep up the great work on your stories I love your Lion King stories they have very nice plots and very good characters. Keep up the great work.

cosmiccastaway- I thank you for your review as well. Sorry I have not reviewed any of yours it's just that I'm not really into anime but I do like Harry Potter so I should really read the Harry Potter one you did. I just like to procrastinate, but don't worry I will read it soon. Hope to hear from you again.

Lynn12- Thank you for your review. It was very nice. I did read your story that you are working on now and I thought it was very good and I am ready for the next chapter. Well keep up the good work.

WriterGoddess- Thank you for your review and I am sorry your stories were taken off the website. I hope to one day go to your personal website and ready yours as well I just procrastinate like I told cosmiccastaway. Any way I will check out your website soon and I hope you have fun writing.

Last but not least kaio- I'm glad you liked the thingey about Fa Dang (LOL) and I'm sorry chapter eight was a little slow in parts I just could not get it out right in some of those parts. Well I hope you will write some stories soon so I can review them for you, I bet you will be very good at it. Any way have a nice day and have fun reading or writing when you do.

Well that's everybody thanks again for the reviews and if you want to talk to me in the chat room feel free to, my aim is redwalllvr0385 and my name is Danielle just in case you don't want to use narfgirl which reminds me in case you are wondering I got rid of the 0385 because I just felt it was too much of a hassle for people since they would have to put numbers instead of letters down and plus I am the only narfgirl in the fanfiction.

Also my next story in case you are wondering will be in the Redwall section and it will be called "Comes a Badger Warrior" so if you like Redwall please read it. I will do another Mulan story later in the year I just need to think of a plot and the hero will be Mushu again.

Any way I am rambling, why do I always do that? I bet you all want to read another story so I will let you all go. Happy writing! (
