Yamato: (glaring) I heard that!

Me: (ignores him and looks at readers) Oh! Good morning all of you! Are you ready to read it?

Draio: (scowls) hurry up already! I'm getting bored!

Me: (eyes narrowed) Hm! (to dArkliTe-sPirit) Can Ferret teach him a lesson for me, please?

Draio: (quirk eyebrow up) Ferret? A rat thing? PLEASE! (laughing) she can't catch me when I'm flying! (fly higher) Neener! Neener!

Kobo, Ciara, and Me: (looked at each other)

Me: (to Draio) I can't say I didn't warn you...(then to Kobo) Can you do disclaimer for me?

Chapter Nine - The Secrets Behind The Scar

Glaring angrily at the Mythic Mirror that reflected of his face on it, Lobo sneered at his scar on his right eye and flung it at the wall.

His little brother gasped panicking, dashed after it and nearly caught it before it hits the wall. He sighed in relief, looking up at his older brother and still clutched his mirror in his hands.

"What's matter with you, wolf?" Yamato grunted, narrowing his red blood eyes at the long silver haired boy. "Is it that time of month for you already?"

Lobo whirled to the young Heylin of Metal and narrowed his eyes angrily. "What did you say!" He replied venomous in his tone, glaring at him.

"Big bro...please.." Kobo begged, tugging his older brother's brown pant gently and looked worrying about Yamato's life rather than his older brother. "He do not mean it, Lobo..."

Yamato smirked, staring coldly at the menacing look on the boy's face. "You must be on the mood swings, wolf-boy." He chuckled darkly, tucked his hands in his jean pockets.

"RRRR! That's it, I'm going to kill you!" Lobo yelled running at him and clenching his fist, wanting to punch in his face for taunting at him.

"Big bro, NO!" Kobo cried in horror at his older brother was about to throw his fist at Yamato's face, hoping he wouldn't hurt his teammate just like that.

Suddenly Yamato caught Lobo's fist in his hand and then he punched him in the stomach, sending him fell back on the floor clutching his stomach in pain.

The young heylin of metal smirked down at Lobo, crossing his arms against his chest. "You forgot that my master, Chase Young, raised me and trained me to be perfect warrior. No one can defeated me, wolf-boy." He said chuckling darkly.

"Shut...up..." Lobo wheezed, shot a deadly glare at him.

Yamato smirked evilly and he begin to open his mouth as the voice behind them startling them.

"What is going on?"

They looked back at the young heylin of darkness who stared at them in very deadly calm. This isn't very good sign about him being calm at the sight of his teammates fought each other.

"What is going on?" Khu repeated, looking coldly at Yamato and Lobo.

Yamato glared back at his leader with great hatred in his blood starts to boiling at sight of the heylin of darkness.

"Nothing. I'm just teasing him about being mood swings." He said calmly, ignoring the menacing look from the heylin of shadow.

Khu frowned, his cold amethyst eyes flickered from Yamato to Lobo and then back to Yamato. "Lobo... Ciara needs you to taking care of our new cat guest." He said to Lobo, not taking his eyes off his rival.

"But..." Lobo argued.

"No buts! Now go!" Khu snapped narrowing his eyes at Yamato.

Lobo groans in furiously, sulking off to another room where Ciara and the new cat in and followed by his young brother with his Mythic Mirror in his hands.

Khu glared at him and crossed his arms, frowning at his second in command leader. "Yamato, you know better to not push his buttons. You're lucky to be in one piece or he will kill you without hesitating."

Yamato shrugged walking to the chair and collapsed on it. "It doesn't matter to me. Tell me what's up with him?"

Khu scowled at him and turns around, sulking to the door. "You should know that the full moons are always affecting him in different ways than being transformed into his true self."

In training room

The young heylin of wood glares at the new small lion cub with the familiar red dots on it's forehead. She frowned at the red dots and wondering why it seems familiar to her.

It is so strange that cat reminds me of someone I, somehow, met before... Ciara thought sighed to herself, running her hand into her short green hair and she heard the gruff voice behind her.

"What's with that dots-thing on that thing?" Lobo said glaring at the new cat he was always disliking any kind of wild cats.

Ciara frowned at his rude behavior. "Lobo.. You've been acting moody ever since you went missing after you brought Khu down, what's wrong with you?" She asked her face looked concerning at him.

Lobo tensed at moment and then he relaxed when his eyes looks softened and sadly. "It's...it's none of your concern, girl." He grumbled, crossed his arms and looking away.

Ciara sighed shaking her head and glanced back to the new cat, to her surprise, to see Kobo played with the new cat.

Maybe this cat isn't really dangerous after all since he wasn't ordered by Master Young now. She thought.

"Ciara..."

Ciara snapped back to reality and glanced back to Lobo. "Yeah?"

Lobo sighed scratching behind his head and looked at his teammate. "Did Khu tell you about why I always disappeared during the time of the night?"

Ciara quirked her eyebrow up and shook her head. "No. He said that when the moon is full, that was affecting you in the strange way. Which it reminds me of the tale of the were creatures..." She trailed off when she realized what it mean. "You're...the real were-wolf!"

Lobo sighed, rolling his eyes and being annoyed at the reaction of the girl. "Yes. Actually I am, girl." He barked glaring at Ciara.

Ciara shook her head and looked at Lobo. "Unbelievable." She muttered to herself shaking her head again and looked at him again. "What about your scar? What happened to you?"

Lobo sighed. "Since three years ago, I was from my tribe... I was rebelled against my leader's order and challenge me to the duel. I accepted his offer and I fought him... I lost. I was given this scar and banished from my tribe forever."

Ciara frowned and glanced back at the young boy who still playing with the small lion cub. "Was your brother banished too?" She asked curiously.

"No." Lobo answered almost harsh tone to her. "He wasn't banished like me but he told our tribe that he was leaving, too."

Lobo looked back at his young brother and a small smile on his face. "He said it is not because what he choose to stay with me, but it is because he knew I need him to be there with me since he's only one all I've got left."

In the Xiaolin Temple

The young dragon of wind sit on the stair with sullen look on his face and glaring at the screeching demon birds in the dark sky.

"Rai?"

Rai looked over his shoulder and saw Kimiko in the doorway looking worried. "Kim? What are you doing up in the early morning?"

Kimiko sighed sadly as she take a seat next to him and looked up at him. "I can't sleep. You?"

Rai sighed, looking back to the dark-looking sky again. "Me either. How's Master Fung?" He said sighed heavy, running his hand into his brown hair.

Kimiko looked down at her hands rested on her lap and said, "He hadn't been waking up ever since.."

Rai sighed again.

Kimiko looked up at him again with tearfully watered clouding her blue eyes while she looked at him. "Even when we lost him to Chase Young... What now do we do, Rai?" She asked rubbing her arms and hugged herself again.

Rai looked at her and realizing the black haired girl was about to cry. He smiled at her, assuming her that would be alright.

"I promise we will get him back in no time, Kim. There is had to be the way to stop Chase Young and Wuya..." He said his hand landed on the young dragon of fire's shoulder and grinned at her. "I promise."

Kimiko sniffled and smiling weakly at him. They stared at each other's eyes and lending closer to each other...closer to each other's lips.

"Hey guys! Master Fung's waking up now!" Dojo yelled overjoyed, slithering toward them with a big smile on his face.

The young dragons of wind and fire widened their eyes in surprise and overjoyed, they leaped back on their feet and ran after Dojo into the temple.
