Me: I've figured it out. You have to say I'm sorry 50 more times.
Kim: It took you how many months to figure that out?
Me: Shush
Haley: Wow 50 you should be done by the end of the chapter.
Scarlett: Shut up.
Me: Start apologizing
Scarlett: I'm sorry for reading your personal notes. I'm sorry for reading your personal notes . . .
Kim & Haley: While they do that we'll type the chapter. DISCLAIMER: She doesn't own Xiaolin Showdown.
Chapter 4
I run through a forest. I knew where I was. I run out and halt. The temple looked untouched. I walk into it and look around. All of a sudden I'm attacked from the side. I flip backwards dodging. A girl stands in front of me, an angry look on her face.
"Get out, this is my safe house" she growls.
"Excuse me, I used to live here" I say. She looks at me specutivly and then her eyes widen.
"You're that guy from the picture" she exclaims.
"What picture?" I ask.
She grabs my arm and half drags me to Master Fung's office. Once there she opens his desk drawer and pulls out a picture in a picture frame. She hands it to me. It was from the week after I became Shoku. Chase and the rest of the Heylin were still off nursing their wounds and the group decided to taker a small vacation. We dragged Master Fung off for the fun of it. The picture was taken when we were on the beach. Omi and Dojo were making a sand castle, Clay was grilling some barbecue and making a salad, and I was teaching Kim how to surf. My eyes lingered on that spot. We were both standing on the surfboard, she had her arms held out and I had her by the waist. A tear falls from my eye and I run my finger over us.
"Are they, you know?" she asks.
"The man who took the picture and the Dragon are" I say.
"I'm sorry, my names Jane, my parents were turned to Sapphire, and now I live here. The zombies don't come here, I wonder why?" she says.
"Is the dragon here?" I ask.
"Sure for some reason he doesn't move" she says. She runs out and is back a second later holding Dojo. She hands him to me.
"So who's that girl in the picture?" she asks.
"That's Kim" I say.
"Is she your girlfriend?" she asks.
"No, I wanted her to be, but their was no time before. . . "I trail off.
"But she's not Sapphire?" she says confused.
"No, not yet" I reply quietly. She looks at me still confused.
"We rescued people and brought them to a safe haven island. We had to break up into separate villages. I haven't seen her in 5 years" I say.
"Where is this island?" she asks.
"Around the Bermuda triangle. You can go if you want" I offer.
"So, you hungry?" she asks.
I walk around the village looking for Lena. I turn a corner and see Daichi walking towards me.
"Hey Merida!" he yells. I wave. He walks up to me.
"So wanna hang out?" he asks. I hesitate but then nod, Lena would understand. We walk to a grassy hill and look up at the sky. We sit at the top.
"So you're from Rio" he says. It wasn't really a question but I nodded anyway.
"Cool, I'm from Tokyo" he says. I nod. I suddenly felt really bad for not saying anything.
'Can you read sign?' I sign. He nods. My heart leaps.
'So you know Kim?' I ask.
"Yep, we were lab partners in science. What's your favorite subject in school?" he asks.
'Well truthfully I skip school' I sign. He chuckles.
'But if I had to pick it would be Language' I answer.
"So would I, actually I'm writing a book" he says.
'What about?' I ask.
"It's about a girl who never speaks and a boy who thinks she's amazing" he says. I blush, he was flirting with me. Just then the siren goes out. We jump up and rush to the wall.
"What's going on?" Daichi asks Lunetta.
"I don't know, Clay won't tell us" she replies. I frown and climb up to the tower. I, without warning, snatch the binoculars out of Clay's hands, ands look through them. Their was a dust cloud heading towards us and if you looked close enough you could see it had a blue tinge. I turn to Clay with an angry gaze.
"Now Merida don't go losing your head" he warns. I walk to the side and motion for Daichi to come up. He climbs up and I toss him the binoculars. He looks through them and then looks at Clay "They need to know".
"No they need limited information" Clay argues.
'No they need the truth' I sign. Clay looks at me with a confused look.
'Interpret please' I sign to Daichi. He interprets.
"No Merida that would cause a panic" he says. I roll my eyes and start to head to the edge. Clay grabs my arm.
"No Merida" he says. I frown and summon up a power only Kim knew I had.
'Hard Strike Metal' I sign, and before Daichi can interpret I kick Clay off the tower. I walk to the side.
'People of the last free village, the sapphire people approach. Clay wanted to keep this from you but I am now taking over. We will fight the sapphire beasts and we will win. Now who's with us?' I sign and Daichi interprets. The entire village comes out in a roar of applause.
'Now I'll need wood, rocks, and heavy materials" I sign.
Scarlett: I'm sorry for reading your personal notes.
Me: 50, okay you're off the hook
Haley: Finally, I swear if I had to hear that one more time, I would have snapped.
Kim: You and me both
Me: But hey look at the chapter. More RaiKiminess, sort of. And defiantly more MeridaDaichiness.
Kim: Were either one of those actually real words?
Me: Probably not. Also, bet you guys didn't expect Merida to be a Dragon huh?
Scarlett: I did
Me: Do you really want to start that again
Scarlett: No
Kim: You have her trained like a dog
Me: Yep, watch this Haley go get me water
Haley: Why should I
Me: (Kim laughs) That wasn't supposed to happen
Me, Kim, Haley, & Scarlett: PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A/N: I am so sorry for not updating recently. With school and everything else it's been hard. I will try and do better.
