Chapter 2 - Home, Sweet Home
"Remember Kimiko," Master Fung said as she lay down to sleep. "listen to your dreams." "Yes, Master." she replied. The minutes past slowly. Then the hours began to pass. Come on Kimiko, get yourself to sleep. she thought. She couldn't. Tap, tap, tap. Kimko jumped. What was that? She got out of bed and opened her room's door. The halls were empty. Again the tapping sound came. This time from the right. A shadow of a head popped out from behind the wall. "Boo!" it said. "Jack?" Kimiko asked. "Who's Jack?" "Who are you?" "The Dragon of the Sun." "You?" Kimiko replied. "Why aren't you lighting up the place?" "I like to make a big first impression." "How'd you get here?" "I'm not here, technically." "What?" she asked, obviously confused. "Your dreaming, silly." "No I'm not." she defended. "Fine, your not. Now then, what do you need?" "Need? I don't need anything." "You called me here for a reason, Kimiko. What is it?" She was about to argue but remembered Master Fung's instructions.
"Am I supposed to find you?" He nodded. "All right," she said. "where are you?" "Tokyo." "You can't be from Tokyo. I'm the Dragon from Tokyo." "Well, aren't we a little self centered? Why can't there be two from Japan?" "I guess there's no rule against it." She paused. "Where in Tokyo?" "Dojo will be able to find me from there." And with that, Kimiko woke up.
Master Fung was at the breakfast table this morning, sipping tea. Kimiko had woken up late again. "But Master, how will I harness this great power?" she heard Omi plead. "It is not a source of power. It is a source of knowledge." Master Fung said, sighing. "Didn't he once say, knowledge is power?" Raimundo whispered to Clay with a mouthful of pancake. Kimiko entered the room with a groan. "Ah, my monk. Have you any answers?" "Yes," she said with some pride. "He's in Tokyo. I think." "Tokyo? Sure you wern't just dreaming of home?" Raimundo asked smiling. "Hmm, normally dragons would not incarnate so close." Master Fung said thoughtfully. "This came from the Dragon's mouth?" "Yes...I think." "Very well. Dojo-" "Yeah, yeah, lemme just get ready." Dojo groaned. "Thank you. As for the rest of you, prepare yourselves. You four shall find this dragon."
The four jumped on the back of Dojo. "I hope this is worth finding your boyfriend, Kimiko." "Shut up, Rai. " Kimiko said, punching him in the arm. The trip took hours. Clay snored as he slept. Raimundo entertained himself with a Goo Zombies game. Omi read his "Ancient Guide To Females". Kimiko messed around on her PDA. At one point Raimundo poked Clay in the stomach while he was still asleep. "Look out! A Goo Zombie is eating your brain!" he yelled. "Rai, you bug me about that one more time, I'm gonna take that game and shove it where the sun don't shine." Raimundo shut up. "But Clay, the sun shines on everything." Omi said with a smile. Raimundo motioned to the place where Clay meant. "Oh... Clay, your threat was most disturbing and grotesque." "I'm not really gonna do it partner." Kimiko giggled. "Here we are kids." Dojo said with a yawn. "One of you is carrying me on the ground."
