Chapter 5: The Chase (Getting hope back)

------

Hiss. Growl. Slash! Run!

The sound of paws running of dirt was in the air. Three small cats where racing as quickly as they could away from the evil Chase Young. After being surrounded, The three cats quickly came up with a plan. They had to run. So slipping and jumping over Chase was what they did. But getting away from his Warrior friends...

The sound of mad growls and hisses filled the air. Not far behind the cats where a group of Tigers. The tigers showed there bright white teeth as they chased after there emeny. There job; Kill the cats. Not let them get away.

Omi was leading the other two cats. His yellow tail blew backwards in the wind. He was growing tired of running, and by the looks on his friend's face, so where they. "Come on! We have to keep going!" He hissed racing onward.

A cliff came into site. Omi's eyes wided. Behind him, the others where slowing down. "Keko! Raimundo! We must... keep.." His heart was racing. Slowly his world started to fade. "No... NO!" He cryed out shaking his head. He couldn't.. he wouldn't.. "AH!" He could feel the ground under him start to fall. His eyes grew wide. He had ran right off the edge of the cliff. "Raimundo.. Keko.." He could feel himself drop into darkness. His world went black.

-----

"Raimundo.. Keko.. no.. Please no! " Omi's eyes flew open. He was laying in a grassy area. Stones alined around him. Where was he? Had he dead? He looked down to see hands, not paws. He was himself again! But.. how? Did he die? He had to have died. Why would he be in this place if he had not? Tears came to his eyes. "I have failed! Raimundo and Keko are gone and its because of me!" He held onto his knees, feeling small and alone for once. Like a little baby who had just lost his teddy bear.

"Omi?"

The young monk raised his head from his knees gazing around. He saw no one. What was going on? He wiped the tears out of his eyes.

"Omi? Omi! Omi?"

The voice was weird. Like sweet yet powerful.The sound he had heard before in so many dreams. Could it be? No.. It couldn't.. could it?

"Omi my boy!"

A small figer appreared. It was a fine young lady. She had dashing brown hair that hung to her shoulders, and dark gray eyes. She had yellow skin, alot like Omi, and woar ragged old cloths. "Omi.. Oh how I miss you"

Omi's brusted into tears yet again as he rushed to the girl's side. "Mother...?" He cryed. "Mother! Why did you leave me.. Why must we be parted? Why?" Omi could feel his tears run down his face as he pushed his face into the girl's cloths. He was so happy, yet so sad all at once. He knew his mother was dead. There was noting he could do to bring her back.

"Omi, please listen to me. Don't give up hope. Whatever you do, you must have faith. You must go on. Your friends still need you. Keko needs you..."

"Keko...O mother..."

"I must go, but don't forget, I will always be with you Omi. Good-bye..."

"No! Don't go! Not yet!" Omi's tears grew more and more. A sound came to his ears yet again. This time, it was the sound of a sweet caring girl. The girl he had seen before. The girl he... loved.

-------

"Omi! Please wake up! No! Omi!" Keko was runing around the yellow cat's body, yowling wildly. Raimundo was also by Omi's side. Both of them had seen Omi fall off the cliff and layed painful at the botton. They also leaped down the edge of the cliff, hoping the tiger's wouldn't follow. They didn't, but they where watching from the top with anger in there eyes.

Keko was really worryed. She couldn't lose Omi! Omi was the most sweetest cat she had ever met! "Omi walk up right now! I won't let you die!" She cryed, now tears forming in her brown eyes. She licked his face.

"Mew..." Omi slowly opened up one of his eyes. Gazing upward into Keko's brown eyes. "Keko. Your okay.. what happened?"

"You fell off a cliff dude. Your lucky to be alive" Rai nipped at a nearby flea on his raggy brown pelt.

"Ow..." Omi slowly and carefully sat up. His gray eyes flashed a pit of sadness. "We have to... find Kimiko and Clay. With them we can beat Chase.. Lets go.." He made his way to his paws, limping lightly. Even if the darken sky showed no hope.. he had regain his hope. His heart told him to keep going. His own mother wanted him to keep going. He had too.

Keko and Rai raced over to Omi's side. Keko on the right, Rai on the left. "But.. how can we help them? We are jus-"

"I know Raimundo.. no need to say things backwards. But I've been told to keep going"

The three cats said noting more as they walked onward. They would find Clay and kimiko. They had to save the world from darkness.

----

"We got it! Look out now Chase Young!" Kimiko held up a small black orb. A wide smile on her face.

"Just one thing ther' Kimi.. We'll be needin' Omi and Rai..."

"And what better luck then for us to show up at just the right time eh Clay?"

The two Xiaolin Dragons turned around to see three small cats. "Omi? Rai?" Kimiko smiled racing over and hugging the small brown cat that had spoke. Clay picked Omi up who was still lightly limbing. The four dragons were finally together again! Keko twiched her tail sadly. "Wow.. your all a great family.." She wispered. Omi gazed up at Clay before slowly leaping out of his arms.

"No.. We are all a great family." He slow went up to her curling his long yellow tail around her. His gray eyes beaning as he licked her sweetly on the cheek. "Keko.. When I'm around you I get this furry feeling!"

"Furry? You mean fuzzy?" Keko purred pushing her nose into his pelt. "Oh Omi.. Me too"

The other dragons watched as the two young warriors talked. All that is.. but Raimundo.

"Ok.. now that we found Clay and Kimiko.. can we PLEASE get me turned back to a human!" Rai growned.

"Oh yes. We have found a way to beat Chase Young! With this orb, we can put a end to him once and for all." Kimiko smiled, holding up the black orb once again.

"Great, now lets go back and find Chase Young!"
