Me: (smacking her forehead over and over and over again) Cursed, stupid, annoying writer's block! Stupid school, stupid homeworks, stupid chores, stupid short-memory!

Zu: Errr… Are you alright, Miss Lizgon?

Me: I'm fine… beside, good news – I'm on a long, good spring break of a week!

Zu: (nod)

Me: (sigh) Okay, then Disclaimer!

Zu: Disclaimer: Lady Lizgon does not own Xiaolin Showdown and Spirit World and its characters but her sheng-gong-wu and her ideas.

Me: (cleaning up on the table and dropped the heavy, thick script paper on the table with a thud) Onto the Story!

Chapter 2 – Who Are You, Spirit?
Green eyes flashed brightly through the bushes, Ar frowned interestingly at the three warriors. It was so close call, he thought to himself, that girl could see me? Nay, might be an animal or something.

"They aren't supposed to go in there, Ar!" Zu exclaimed his silver eyes as he ran his fingers through his glowing green hair. "It's forbidden to humans to enter the other side of the world."

Ar turned his head to the green spirit and frowned even deeper with confusion and interest. "What forbidden?"

"The mirror… It had many illusions of past and future." Zu explained, keeping his eyes on the visible cave entrance. "I suppose we should go and stop them from entering it by mistake?"

Ar narrowed his green eyes. "Okay then, let's go!" He said quickly, phasing through the bushes toward the cave entrance.

Zu blinked confusedly after the white spirit. "Wait! You doesn't know what's behind that thing!" He yelled waving his arms wildly and groans when he realized Ar don't listen to him. "Why me?"

The emerald spirit drifted after his friend, grumbling something about the white dragon never listens.

The shadow darted from the branch to another branch, kept lurking somewhere in the shadows. The yellow, slitting and glowing eyes in the darkness.

And then it vanished.

----

It narrowed its crimson eyes.

It stalked like a graceful, yet dangerous wild cat.

The black scales reflected with lights by the silver of the looking glass.

It knew the white dragon is coming closer to its home.

I'm waiting for you, child.

----

Kimiko walked quietly through the tunnel of White Mountain cave, held up a small fireball hovered her palm. Something caught in her view, she turned her head and stared at the weird languages written appeared on the wall on her left.

"Umm… Guys?"

No answer.

"Guys?" She turned around, blinking at the empty spot beside her. "Guys?" She called again, looking around. "Clay?" She called out, gnawing her lower lips. "Omi?"

No respond.

No mistaken slang from the small monk and no annoying Texas comments from the huge cowboy.

The Dragon of Fire whirled around and around again. "Guys? Guys?"

No respond. Her blue eyes darted left to right to left to right, biting her lower lip again while her eyebrows knots together in anxiety as she stepped forward slowly into the darkest part of the tunnel path.

She was just straightening and wondering where the boys are when a distinctly voice spoke from behind her. "Boo."

Completely automatically, a short scream escaped Kimiko's throat. She whirled around, realized that the person was far too close to her, and swung the fire from her fist like a flaming baseball.

The fireball seemingly went right through the person's torso, and the cave wall took the force of Kimiko's blow.

She blinked in disbelief at the person, no, a boy stood in front of her glowing in white and his eyes seem startling, beautiful green she had ever seen.

She stared at him.

He stared back.

She blinked.

He blinked back.

And then she screamed.

----

It blinked its beautiful, rarely mauve eyes as it soared through the silver mist like a sea snake, writhing its long, white body.

It paused when it senses the four children, two spirits, and one cursed beast. It frowned looking concern the curse beast could be probably a dark prince.

It sees through the eyes of the heir of the Great Master and it blinked in surprise as the one of the children whirled and stared back into its eyes, or rather the heir's eyes.

Do not caused the child to fear you… It whispered quietly to the heir's thoughts, but the heir did not listen to it. Or she will not trust you, my child…

But it knew it will be wait patiently for be summoned by the heir soon…

You will be free soon…

"Oh no! Oh no! Great Ghost Dashi, we must go back and find Kimiko. Of course, don't worry, I'm the most all powerful Xiaolin Dragon, my good friend." The small monk exclaimed, huffing and looking proudly when he mentioned himself to the tall friend.

The cowboy sighed, tugging his huge hat with his right hand while his left hand was holding the flashlight as the small dragon peeked out of it, glancing down at the small monk. As he brushed his blond bang out of his eyes when he caught something shine in right side of the tunnel wall. "Omi… Check it out." He said lifted his flashlight and pointed at the hidden object behind the tunnel side.

Dojo peeped over the cowboy's hat and frowned at the hidden object. "It's a hidden door, Clay…" He whispered trailing off as Omi ran to the hidden door and scrutinized something on the hidden door.

"What is it, pardner?" Clay asked walking over to the small friend and titled his hat upward so he could see the written on the door better. "It's not in English."

"Neither in Chinese nor Japanese." Omi agreed frowning as Clay could sense the confusion and disbelieving in his small friend's tone.

"It's an ancient written…"

Both of the boys looked right at the small, green dragon, Dojo, studied the written. His yellow eyes were showing worry and fear when he sensed something behind the door; he turned his head slowly to the boys. "I sense Mirror of Illusion behind this door… But something else, I don't know."

He paused for a second. "It's not something. More like someone in there waiting." He bit his upper lip, wondering silently. It's a dragon, but it's not of wind, more of a lost shadow. Who is the dragon and why is it doing with the mirror?

The boys looked back at each other and wondering what and who is the person waiting in the room.

Dojo shook his head and turned his head back to the written, reading out loud. "Beware of a illusion! Do not look what lies beneath the looking glass or you will be fallen for a deception. You must trust your heart, not with your mind. Face what you are fear and strike through its eye. The One with pure heart must enter or no pure heart will be perished."

"What does it means, Dojo?" Clay asked confusing, stared at the written not believing what he heard. Seeing the small dragon shook his head, he bit his lower lip and looked back at his little friend and wondering what the riddle means.

----

"Great! Look at what did you to her! She fainted because of you!"

She stirred, furrowing her eyebrows upward and downward. Where I am…? She thought, opening her blue eyes and closed them again. What's happening?

"Well…I don't know she could scream so loud…"

"…end up in the holy place…"

"…did you think she could be…"

"…her fire…"

"…don't think so…"

She groaned, focusing every ounce of her strength on just opening her eyelids again. Slowly, her eyelids obeyed. She lay there on her back on the cold, hard ground, gaining her senses and blinking confusingly at the odd-looking ceiling. It was then something struck her out of the ordinary. It took her another minute to place it in her mind, before she finally realized she was still in the cave with two boys.

Wait a second…

She blinked at the two boys bickering, both glowering in see-through bodies. One was glowing white and another was glowing lime green. Easily reminded herself of a light purple ghost witch, she blinked again.

"Um…who are you?" She asked, startling the human-like see-through boys. The boys blinked and glanced back at her with startled and surprise look.

"Miss! You're finally awake!" The boy with silver eyes lit up relieving look and smiled. The other boy moodily sulking behind the young boy, scowled darkly at her while his hands in his pockets shirt.

The boy with silver eyes finally realized what Kimiko was asking a question and then he laughed sheepishly, "I'm Zu and he's Ar."

"Kimiko." She said her blue eyes drafting to the sulking boy's green eyes. As both of them locked each other for a good while until one of them break a spell, glancing at somewhere.

Zu quirked one of his eyebrows at them, and then slowly his lip turned upward when he realized what's going on between them. It's going to be quite interesting…

End of Chapter 2

Me: (blew one of her blond bangs out of her eyes) Now chapter three is next up, hopefully, I wouldn't run into another writer's block wall again.

Time for Sneak Peek!

Sneak Peek

He turned his head and stared at the odd eyescolors of the pale reptile. It was dying…in crimson liquid pool. He had never seen such a thing like that, not since that day...

End of Sneak Peek.
