"One Wu Love"
Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown or any of its characters. However, it did take me a little bit of time to create a fake shen gong wu.
Rated: K+
Summary: During a Wu search, Kimiko decides to take a detour and go street shopping. At one of the vendor's she finds and purchases a beautiful mood ring, but what happens when that ring doesn't want to come off?
She tugged and she tugged at it, but oh how she could not pull the darn thing off.
She pulled until the skin on her finger changed to a milky white color and bulged all around the metal band. She yanked until all feeling was lost in the limb…
But no matter how much she tried, the ring stayed wrapped around her middle finger.
"Stupid thing! Why won't you come off!" Kimiko yelled in frustration throwing her hands into the air with impatience. She collapsed onto the desk with her face hidden by her two ebony pigtails and released a sigh of exasperation.
Ever since she bought the trinket and started wearing it, the Xiaolin dragon of fire had been the target of teasing by the dragon of wind and dragon of water. Since then, she shut herself up in her cubicle of a room and desperately tried to pull the ring off, bursting out angry remarks every now and then.
"What's wrong with this thing anyways?" She mused bitterly, picking her head up and staring upon the piece of jewelry. It didn't seem too small when she first put it on, and even now it wasn't cutting off any circulation.
It seemed bound to her finger if by magic…but the only magical items she knew of were shen gong wu, and well, if this was one of the legendary items they searched for; Dojo would have been quivering with shen gong wu hives.
Kimiko couldn't even go to any of the others for help on this feat. They'd probably laugh and crack jokes on how weak she might be; her pride would be crushed then.
No, it was better to try and take it off by herself.
Maybe if she thought about the time she bought the girlish ornament then she might be able to figure out what went wrong.
