When she saw where he lived, she was creeped out a little; the feeling increased when she saw him surrounded by cats and even more so when she found out what those cats used to be. In the back of her mind, she knew she shouldn't have come there but her conscious told her that what she was doing was right. Clutching the small box in her hand, she approached the former Xiaolin Dragon.
"I'm here to see Jack."
He didn't say anything to her but motioned with his hand. A lioness stepped out from behind him and stared at her for a moment before slinking off in a direction. Jaqulin followed the lioness from a safe distance through many corridors, down many hallways, and eventually stopped in front of a large black door. The sounds coming from the inside sounded just like at home, just like the Chop Shop. Checking the knob, she found it locked.
She knocked and just as she expected, the person inside didn't open the door. A quick glance to the lioness showed the feline seemed to expect as much from the person inhabiting the room. The girl sighed and knocked one more time, using more force than normal, but the boy genius either didn't hear her or ignored the door.
Setting the box down on the floor, she turned away from the door and followed the lioness out of the labrynth, disappointed that the door was locked and that her presence was turned away, whether her cousin knew it or not. She let out a small sad smile; well, she worked hard on the contents of the box, and she had a feeling he'd like it. But it still hurt to know that the door was locked.
She passed by Chase Young as the lioness returned to her master, she knew he could see the disappointment and hurt, and kept walking. On the way out, she turned back to the Heylin Dragon.
"Thank you for allowing me into your home. Please take good care of my stupid cousin."
The Dragon smirked to her and nodded once. She knew the connotation of that expression and at the moment didn't care. Using the Viper's Fang, she began to descend the side of the cliff, not allowing herself to cry until she reached the bottom.
"I bet he doesn't even know that we turned eighteen today..."
Hours later, Jack awoke from his nap to find a small box in front of his door with a small note attached.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVIL GENIUS, HOPE YOUR EIGHTEENTH IS A BLAST!"
When he opened the box, he let out a small noise of surprise. He didn't think she would actually find one of these...
