Chapter four
After 3 months of serving Chase Young, Kira got the hang of things. She knew to never talk to him, never give her opinions, never speak unless spoken to, and never protest. Chase was the hardest person to live with, but she had to agree, it was a bit cool. He never lost his temper, her never smiled; he just spent the day planning ways to kill a boy named Omi. "Chase, who is this 'Omi'?" she asked one morning. Chase looked at her with an emotionless face. "Must you speak?" he asked annoyed. Wuya smirked as Kira apologized. "Omi is on the Xiaolin side, girly. He despises the Xiaolin side." Wuya explained, yawning. Kira nodded, walking out. The reason Kira was there was to learn. To train. To fight. Every day, Chase would let Kira out to train with him for 6 hours straight in the garden. Kira was a quick learner, he had to give her that, but she talked too much. Today it had only been 2 hours and Kira was getting tired.
She flipped high in the air, landing on Chase's shoulders, sending him back a few steps. Chase grabbed her foot and slammed her hard on the ground. Kira hopped back up and kicked him in the stomach… but he quickly caught her foot and gave a small playful tug, leading her to fall on her face. "Can't you see? I'll never beat you," she said, wiping her mouth. Chase smirked. "One day you will…" he said, brightening her spirits. She kicked him again, but he caught her foot. "But that will be when all hell freezes over," he added, tugging on her. She landed on her but for the 15th time in 20 seconds. " I must say, you are quick." He mused, turning around. "Thanks," she said, getting back up. Wuya ran out of the palace waving her arms. "Spicer is here, and he's got a new toy!" she said enthusiastically. Kira thought for a moment. "Spicer? Whose that?" she asked out loud. She covered her mouth. Chase looked at her annoyed. "Shhh!" he hissed.
A boy no younger than 15 walked out of the lair and over to Kira. He had white skin, red eyes, messy orange hair, yellow googly goggles on his forehead, a black trench coat with black clothes underneath. He also had black markings under each eye. "Chase!" he yelled, happily. Chase sighed in frustration, and closed his eyes. "Yes Jack?" he asked. The boy named Jack smiled. "I have created a new robot, and it's better than my Jack-bot from before!" he cried. Chase rolled his eyes, Wuya snorted, and Kira blushed. "Allow me to demonstrate!" he said, playing with the controller he held. A giant robot walked out from behind the palace. It stopped when it caught sight of Wuya. "Danger!" it yelled, blasting at her. She screamed and ran behind Chase for protection. Jack's eyes went wide. "No, wait!" he yelled, as the robot began catching fire. He screamed a girlish scream, as it blew up. Jack and Wuya stood there with wide eyes, Chase looked at it with hate and Kira laughed and pranced around singing 'it blew up. Ha ha ha!'.
It was time for dinner and Chase let Kira eat in the same room as him tonight. Jack stayed over, to brag about his technology. As the dragon soup arrived, Kira felt queasy. "Kira, eat!" Chase ordered. Jack and Wuya looked at her expectantly. She hesitantly took a spoonful and slid it in her mouth. She went green and spat it out gagging. Chase looked at her. "I'm sorry! I guess I don't eat mystical creatures," she apologized. Jack smirked at the joke. Kira took a piece of bread and nibbled on it for a while.
It was extremely quiet at the table. "Okay, it's quiet…" Kira whispered to herself. Everyone looked at her. "I don't like to be quiet…" she whispered to Wuya, causing her to blink. "I have a joke!" she laughed. Chase took a breath to speak. "Okay, so a guy walks into a bar," she began, ignoring him. "Shut up." Wuya hissed, looking at Chase getting angry. "And he goes up to the bartender," Kira continued. Chase's eyes glowed green. Jack and Wuya got ready to hide. "And he says," she was cut off by a loud growl. She looked over at Chase and screamed, as a giant lizard sat in his seat. (that's what he changes into when he's pissed, right?). Kira looked at him with fear in her eyes. He jumped on the table and pointed at her. "Shut up! You shut the fuck up right now!" he screamed. 'He does lose his temper…' she thought, backing up against the wall. Chase jumped after her and held her up by her neck, against the wall. "You do not speak unless spoken to! Got it?" he yelled. Kira's eyes watered. Jack and Wuya cowered in fear behind him. "Let me go!" she yelled, kicking him in the stomach. Chase let her go and held his middle. She took off running to her dungeon.
