Well this is the final chapter of my story. It took me awhile but I did it! First I would like to thank everyone who took the time to review and also to those who enjoyed my story. I'm glad that I could provide some humour in your lives and I appreciate the comments because it let me know that I wrote something funny! ) I hope to write more stories, and perhaps my next one will be in the Naruto section. Thanks for the support guys! You rock!
A half hour later the food was fully cooked and ready to eat. Everyone except for Liana and Sebastian sat down. The two teenagers joined them shortly after.
Johnny leaned closely over to Sonya. "Those two have spent quite a lot of time together today. What do you thing they're up to?" He whispered into her ear.
"I don't' know but don't' bring it up, Johnny. You'll only make things worse." Sonya said.
"I'm not allowed to know what my son's intentions are with Liu and Kitana's daughter."
"If you do you'll embarrass your son so much he'll want to crawly into a hole and die. Or are you forgetting what that felt like?"
Johnny frowned at the memory of slight embarrassment of his sister bringing up the news of his first girlfriend. He pushed the memory away. He looked over to see his son and Liana talking. He looked over at Liu and saw that he too was staring at the teenagers.
"So, Kung Lao, how did your evening go last night?" Johnny asked.
"Fine, except for a small, but brief visit from Raiden, again." Kung Lao said.
"Hey it was a friendly visit." Raiden said.
"I suppose so. For once your visit had humor and was somewhat enjoyable. Too bad you missed it, Rebecca. It would have brightened your day." Kung Lao said.
"Don't worry, the drive did." Rebecca said.
From a distance a monk could be seen walking towards the group, carrying a rolled up piece of paper in his hand.
"Hey, Liu, look." Kung Lao said pointing to the man.
Liu turned to see the man at a half jog. "Now what would he be doing here? I hope it's not an emergency." He said.
"He's probably coming to tell you that a monk quit because of those brats and now you're stuck with them." Raiden said laughing.
"Careful, Raiden, you may have to assist them." Kitana said.
"Don't make me laugh. I'm a god. Such a task doesn't need my assistance." Raiden said.
"Funny, that's exactly what you said last time." Sonya said.
"Liu Kang, Kung Lao, I'm sorry to bother you at such a time but I have a message for you." The monk said.
Kung Lao took the parcel from the man and read it carefully and grinned.
"What is it?" Liu Kang asked.
"You won't believe this. Well it's tough luck for you thunder god because you're right." Kung Lao handed Liu the paper.
"Unbelievable. We're stuck with them again!" Liu said.
"You monks need to find a routine because it obviously isn't working, especially with those brats." Raiden said.
The monk knelt down on one knee. "Which is why, lord Raiden, we need your help. We need the assistance of a god."
"You're kidding, right?" Perhaps you failed to notice the nature of those children." Raiden said.
"We have, it's just you're the only ones who can teach them."
"The man has a point." Sonya said.
"How long must we teach them?" Liu asked.
"You only need to teach them for six months. The last monk lasted three months. He wasn't quite the same after." The monk said.
"I can't imagine why." Raiden mumbled under his breath.
Liu Kang turned to Kung Lao. "Well do you think we can last six more months?"
"I suppose we could, if we did a little extra meditation." Kung Lao said.
"Is this merely to get them to a higher belt?" Liu Kang asked.
"Oh heaven no, it's to graduate them so they can leave the academy."
Raiden burst out laughing. "Well what do you know? Even the monks want the brats gone."
"Very well, we'll start next week." Liu Kang said.
Excellent! Thank you very much you two. We're very grateful." The monk left the group to their meal.
"You need a week to prepare?" Kitana asked.
"Something like that." Liu Kang said.
"Dad, these kids can't be that bad, can they/" Liana asked.
"More than you know, Liana. I'll tell you all about them later." Her father said.
The barbeque carried late into the evening when the group had to leave. They bid farewell to each other and headed home.
"I can't believe I agreed to that." Liu Kang said as he crawled into bed exhausted.
"You did the right thing." Kitana said.
"I find that hard to believe, but Kung Lao and I are doing the monks a big favour."
"Exactly, and think of it this way; after six months you'll never have to teach them ever again."
"Hmm that's true." He slightly smiled at the thought.
"Do you need my help to make you feel better?" She said wrapping her arms around him.
"Perhaps, but now I would love to sleep."
"Same." She said laying her head on his shoulder.
"At least things can't get worse."
"Not exactly, well so to speak."
"What do you mean?"
"Liana told me Sebastian asked her out earlier today."
Liu shot straight up. "What? Why didn't you tell me?"
Because I didn't want you to worry like you're doing now."
"I'm not worrying! I just want to talk to this boy first."
"Don't worry." Kitana said reassured him. "Sebastian's a nice boy and she'll be fine. Just be supportive and go to sleep."
As he laid his head down he imagined dealing with his new students and his daughter's boyfriend. Indeed, this would be another challenge for the two shaolin monks Liu Kang and Kung Lao. The End.
