I'd like to say thanks to my only reviewer. (and any that post a review)
Anyways, here's nice big juicy update. Enjoy, since it'll probably be a while 'till the next update. :)
Chapter 4 - A New Ally
The four returned to the temple late at night. Dojo went straight to his bed. Master Fung invited them to the Kitchen where tea was waiting. "So my young monks, did you find this dragon?" "We sure did." Clay said taking a sip. "Thanks to Dojo and Kimiko." "So, is he coming to see our temple?" "He should be here within a day or two." Kimiko yawned. "Very well," Master Fung said. "all of you must now rest. You've had a busy day."
Kimiko's body was tired but her mind was racing. How could he be just like my dream? Will he stay? Why did he look at me like that? Orphaned? How? After what seemed like a million questions, her mind quieted and she fell asleep. The next day passed quickly and she barely got sleep the following night.
She awoke to a huge yellow face. "Hello, my friend! Today is the day, when we see if we shall gain a new ally in the battle against evil!" "Ever heard of privacy, Omi?" she said shoving her pillow in his face. "Besides, I know today is the day." How could I not? It's been the only thing on my mind. Omi and her went to breakfast. "You excited about seeing your boyfriend again, Kimi?" Raimundo smiled. "Rai, remember what Clay said he'd do to you?" Raimundo nodded. "Well, I'm gonna do that with this chair, if you don't shut it." Raimundo chuckled. "Fine, fine." "Master Fung," Omi said walking over to him. "I have tried obtaining knowledge from my dreams. I have gotten nothing from them but nonsensical messages." "It takes time to learn how to dechiper these messages, my young monk." "What kind of message is hidden in a dream with nothing but me being sniffed by small dog?" he shuddered. "It was most ratlike." "I know Omi," Raimundo said. "Do not stand still, or one may become the Chiuahuha's firehydrant." Omi looked confused. "What is a firehydrant?" "Oh forget it. Jokes are wasted on you."
They finished and began to get ready for training when they heard a knock on the temple gate. "I got it!" Kimiko said rushing to the gate. She opened it. There, stood Sol. He was dressed in a t-shirt and athletic pants. He had a backpack over his shoulder. "Hey there...uh, Kim...Kimiko. "Hi, Sol. Welcome to the temple." she said with a smile. He stepped in the temple grounds and paused. "Uh, I hope I didn't creep you out there back in Tokyo with that stare. It's just that...well, I know this sounds a little weird but I had a couple a dreams about you before you and your friends came." She blushed. "Oh, really? Intresting." was all she could say.
The other three and Master Fung were at the training area. "This is Master Fung." Kimiko said pointing a hand at him. Sol shook his hand. "It's an honor, Master." Master Fung smiled. "Thank you. Have you decided to stay and pursue our way of life?" "Well, my aunt and uncle said it was up to me. I guess I'll have a look around and let you know." "Very well. Let me give you the full story." Master Fung led him to the library.
Sol came out a half hour later with a look of concern on his face. He placed his backpack on the ground and sat up against a tree. Kimiko stopped the obstacle course and walked over. "It's alot to take in, isn't it?" He looked up. "Yeah." It was quiet for a moment. Kimiko began to turn to walk away but Sol spoke. "Dragon of the Sun, huh?" Kimiko gasped. "So you are!" "That's what Master Fung says. I guess it makes sense. I've always loved the sun." "So, are you going to stay?" Kimiko tried not to act too excited. "Yeah, I think so. Good always needs more people on it's side." Kimiko tried to hide her smile."Jeez, how long have you guys been doing this?" Kimiko thought back. She was 15 when they had started and she had just celebrated her 18th birthday. "About three years." "Wow. I have some catching up to do." "We'll all help you." "Thanks." he replied. "You've met Dojo, right?" she asked. "Yeah, what an amazing creature." he said still taking it all in. "Even changes size." "When you get to know him, he's not so amazing." she laughed. "I heard that!" Dojo called from the temple garden, dozing off. Sol got up but paused. "Where is Wuya anyway?" "We don't know. About two years ago she disappeared and left Jack." Sol nodded. "Well, better go tell Master Fung." Sol left and told Master Fung. Master Fung smiled. "Come, my young monks. I have good news." The four original monks approached him. "Sol has chosen to stay with us. We now have another Dragon." He turned to Sol. "Kimiko will show you your room. Then, get dressed. Your training begins today."
