Chapter Five: Ciara Chimera
Five years ago, the soft pink petal fell on the girl's lap and she blinked at it. The eleven-years-old child picked up the pink sakura petal and look closely at it.
Suddenly, A soft wind's gust allowed fallen petals to blow past the girl standing together, watching them flickering forward and backward in front of her. They remind her of her mother.
She smiled sadly, she remembered his father told her that her mother gave birth to her daughter and died in childbirth. All she had left to remind her of mother was an ancient book that used to belong to her great, great grandmother.
She paused, watching at the blue sky and the wild birds soaring above the white clouds. She recalled the ancient story that her uncle used to tell her before her bedtime.
"A great Grandmaster Xiaolin Dragon fought against a great Heylin Witch as much as he could. When he challenged her to the final showdown. It is neither Xiaolin nor Heylin showdown. Only a Showdown, it is not ordinary…."
"What kind of a showdown if it is not ordinary, Uncle?"
"A Yang-Ying Showdown. Very dangerous for a warrior, it didn't matter if you are strong or not, young girl. If he won, he will triumph over the great witch and trapping her into the puzzle box for eternal."
"What if he did not win?"
"The world will be doomed to ten thousand years of the darkness. He and his Xiaolin Dragons will die. But only two way to prevent the Yang-Ying Showdown…."
"What is it, Uncle."
"…Are the child with two elements and the source with the such evil power of the blade."
She closed her hazel eyes and feeling the cool wind brushing her cheek gently. She didn't understand about the part of the legend but she will find out what did it means and what did it have a purpose for.
A weak meows behind her, she turned around and looking down at the wounded cat. She moved closely look at the wounded cat and was taken back in surprise.
A Chinese Desert Cat!
She froze, looking at the beautiful feline and she can tell the feline is very closely to relate to the wildcat and the jungle cat. Larger than a domestic cat, this species is thickset and robust with a heavy coat. And colored a pale yellowish gray, it is darker on the back and more orange on the underside. The coat is peppered with black guard hairs. There are few body markings, just two or three transverse pale brownish streaks on the legs and haunches. Two indistinct brownish streaks across the cheeks are usually present.
It is very rare for her to see a rare Chinese Desert Cat.
She stared at the feline and the wounded feline stared back with its own golden amber eyes. The color of the golden eyes reminds me of the sun. She thought.
She picked the wounded feline up and placed it in her arms. She smiled gently at the wounded feline, petting it softly. "You will be named by Kenchi. It's my father's name….." She said trailing off as the feline, Kenchi, looked up at her.
The look of the sorrow expression on her face as the wind swept the dead leaves past her hair to the sky.
(Flashback)
Three years ago….
"Uncle? Where's Papa?" She asked, running to her uncle as he stepped out of the jeep. "Why isn't he coming?"
"He's away for a while. He promises he will come back, my little Ciara…" Uncle replied with a hint of hesitation. "He'll come back before you know it." He grinned weakly.
"How long he had to go to looking for the poachers, Uncle?" Ciara asked, looked sad. "How long he caught them?"
"I… I don't know…" Uncle replied, picking her up and carried her to the bed. "What about the story I tell you of the Bird of the Paradise, hmmm?"
"Yes, Uncle." Ciara said softly, closing her eyes.
Next day, she yawned and toes stepping across the room to the kitchen. But she heard the voices behind the door and she paused, overhearing on the door.
"What…. do you mean….."
"Yeah…. did not make it…."
"Who would do such……will be heartbroken when she finds out…."
"….poor Ciara… her dad make a promise…"
"…true….. where she will go if she have no one?"
"…she will have me…"
Ciara froze on her track, her hazel eyes watered and her lips trembling. 'no…papa…' She thought silently sobbing. 'you promise….'
(End of flashback)
A meow brought her out of the trance and she glanced at Kenchi. "Hmm? Okay. Let's go back to my Uncle's shelter. You're going to love it, Kenchi." She said, smiling at her wild feline and running back to her uncle's shelter.
--
Five years later, she walked into her favorite hot spring and dripped herself into the steaming water. She smiled, relieving from all stressing and all working she had in her life. She closed her hazel eyes happily and humming softly.
Crack!
She snapped her eyes open and sunk into the water until it reached to her neck. "Who's there?" She called out, looking around.
Silence.
She narrowed her eyes and slowly picking up the huge rock. "Okay… I know someone's out there… Come out nice and quiet." She said threatened.
Silence.
Suddenly, she hurled the huge rock over the bushes and waited until she smirked victoriously as she received a loud yelp from the bushes. "There you are." She said, swimming around the giant rock behind her and grabs the clothes.
A few minutes after she had her clothes on and stormed over where the yelp had came from, only to find the unconscious pointy-ears boy lay on the ground with the huge bump. "Ugh, a lecher." She grumbled, kicking the boy's back and waking him up. "What are you doing here, you lecher? Are you peeking me while I'm taking a bath?"
"What? ACK!" The pointy-ears boy yelped, waving his hands in defend as a small sweat drop appeared on his head. "I am not peeking you. I'm coming to find you."
She frowned, scowling darkly at him. "Find me? What for, lecher?"
"I am merely being sent to find you by Master Young. You are one of the chosen ones." He said calmly, eyeing at her. "I'll admit you look hot."
Slap!
"Ow!" He yelped, rubbing his cheek. "That's hurt."
"Grrr. Lecher." She muttered darkly. "So focus on, you idiot. What did you mean by 'one of the chosen ones'?"
"By what I mean, you're Ciara Chimera the Heylin Tiger of Wood." He grinned. "You're chosen by the previous Heylin Tiger of Wood."
Ciara stared blankly at him for a five minutes and frowned. "Fine. But let me get my stuffs." She said, stalking darkly toward to her uncle's shelter.
--
Meanwhile, Ciara stood with a scowl expression on her face and Lobo grinned with a slap mark on his face. "Where is he?" She asked coldly, not looking at him. Lobo winced, stepped slowly away from the pissed off female companion.
"I don't know. He said he will coming… any time soon." Lobo said, grinned sheepishly. And then he muttered under his breath, "I can't believe she's on PMSing…"
"What was that!"
"You heard me right!"
"Jerk!"
"Brat!"
"Lecher!"
"Slut!"
"BASHARD!"
"BITCH!"
"Uhhh… Am I interrupting?" The boy's voice behind the bickering of angry teenagers as they stopped, looking back at the owner of the voice.
Ciara stared at the beautiful amethyst eyes, wondering how very rare people had those orbs. "Who….Who are you..?" She asked, sputtering with a little blush.
A boy with a beautiful amethyst eyes quirked an eyebrow up in amusing and holding the tea cup with strange blue steaming from it. "Khu Pedsora. You?" He replied emotionless, sipping his teacup.
"Ciara Chimera." Ciara answered, smiled shyly at him.
Khu nodded and turned, walking toward the door. "Master Young wants to talk to you, Ciara."
Ciara nodded, followed after him and only she can heard a small voice of a small boy asked Lobo a amusing question.
"Why is you have a hand mark on your right cheek?"
She smiled at herself. Maybe, it wasn't so bad to being one of the chosen ones. It could be interesting adventure and it would have a store for me in the future. She thought.
