A/N: Who saw it yesterday? It was so awesome! It was freaky, but cool.

I was confused. When I caught up to him in the ball room, I asked him, "Why did you kiss me?"

He turned around, an eyebrow raised. "I thought it would be obvious. I can't have you screwing it up tomorrow." He continued walking, until he reached a short little person holding a book. I got up next to him, and the rehearsal started.

(-)(Chase's Place)

In the dining room, shortly after Chloe and Chase had left, a purple portal appeared. Out hopped Megan, Ashley, and Dojo. Poor Dojo landed in(you guessed it) Chase's empty bowl of soup. He would've screamed if Ashley hadn't covered his mouth.

"Shut up, you loud mouthed lizard!" she hissed. "If we get caught, that empty bowl will be full, and you'll be in it. Got it?"

Megan climbed off the table, and moved quietly to the hall. No one was there. Good, she thought. She signaled to Ashley and Dojo. Ashley reluctantly let go of the dragon's mouth. Dojo pretended to zip his lips, as he walked towards Megan.

Ashley looked down the hall, and then thought for a minute. She had been here before, but it was so long ago. Yet, there wasn't a building she couldn't break into. Problem was, this technically wasn't a building, but a cave. It didn't matter. She could break into any place she wanted to, and even though the thought of breaking into this place was awful, the prize would be great.

"If I can remember, I think the cells are down here. I'm pretty sure," she looked down at Megan, and saw that the woman wasn't there. Just the dragon. Megan was already going down the hall. What the . . . thought Ashley. The little runt want's us to get caught! She sprinted down the hallway, her footfalls quiet, with no echo.

Megan had ran down the hall because of one reason. She heard a girl's voice. She could only hear a word or two from what the girl had said. She heard, 'Kiss me.' There was only one girl she knew about. Chloe, or whatever her freak . . . how exactly was Chloe related to her? Megan decided that Chloe was probably her 2nd cousin, but she wasn't sure. She lost track of family members after step-mom or dad.

Megan heard another voice. A strong male voice. "I thought it would be obvious. I can't have you screwing it up tomorrow."

Huh? Thought Megan. What on earth is that supposed to mean? She slowed up her running, walking now. She got to a room, the door open. She took a quick glance in, then moved out of the way. She saw a girl with red hair, and a man with black hair. Megan was so lost in thought, that she almost screamed when someone grabbed her arm.

It was Ashley. And she looked ticked. She pulled Megan down away from the door.

After they were a safe distance away, Ashley hissed, "What the heck was that about? You could've been caught!"

Megan rolled her eyes. "I heard the girl's voice. And from what I heard, I doubt she is willingly coming with us."

"What do you mean?"

Megan took a deep breath, and said, "I heard her say, 'Kiss me,' and the guy, Chase or whatever he's called said something that didn't make sense at all. So, I guess the girl adopted my stupid cousin's evil crap."

Ashley sighed. This task was going to be a lot harder than the stupid job describer told her it was gonna be.

(-)(40 miles away)

Rai was pacing. Clay looked depressed. Omi meditated. Jack was happy, and Kimiko was well . . . nervous. No one noticed, but her hand was on her neck. Not in a strangling like way. Just touching it. But there was something her hand was covering. A little necklace.

No, Kimiko never got rid of the necklace Chase had gave her. She thought, that for some strange reason, there was a secret about it. At times, she would touch her neck, to see if it was still there, or if it was hot, or if it were tightening around her throat. But over the years, nothing happened. But maybe now. Maybe now that Chase was free, something would happen. Something that could help her.

Kimiko, who after hearing Jack's plan, actually thought it would work. She thought anything was possible. But now, the plan seemed to become dimmer and dimmer. They still hadn't gotten a reply from Katnappe or Megan. Something could've went wrong.

Suddenly, her necklace became hotter. She lifted her hand slightly, and saw that it was glowing. Was the necklace a Shen-gong-wu that had never been revealed?

Then, a little voice spoke to her in her mind. Mom?

Chloe? She thought. Is that really you? Or am I imagining you?

I hope it's really me. It'd be disturbing for me to imagine my mom imagining me.

How are you talking to me?

Chase gave me this necklace. We just finished the rehearsal to the wedding, and well he told me he gave you the same necklace a long time ago and all, so I thought, maybe I could try something weird with it. Hence, I'm talking to you through thought.

Rehearsal for the wedding? You agreed to it?

I kinda did. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I drank this soup, and I swore my loyalty to him and everything. I just thought it was a big hoax.

YOU DRANK THE LAU MENG LONE SOUP!

Yeah. Like I'm really gonna live forever.

How many times have you drank it?

Uh . . . Two.

Honey, don't worry. We'll get you out of there. I promise.

You got a plan?

Actually, we have two spies there right now.

Really? Good, I really want to get out of this place. This Chase dude is freaky.

Well, honey, better not let him get suspicious. Talk . . . or think to me when you're in your cell.

OK Mom. Thank you so much!

Love you, Chloe.

I love you too Mom.

A smile spread on Kimiko's face as she went to tell the others about the small thought conversation between her and her daughter.

(-)(Chloe's POV)

I turned to Chase. "There are two spies in the building currently."

"Good. Any other useful information she gave you?"

"Not in particular. Just a bunch of bull about how she loved me."

Chase nodded. He was about to say something, when a tiger and a panther walked in, carrying two women in their mouths. One of them held a lizard.

Chase looked down at them. "Katnappe? You're Xiaolin now?"

The woman in the panther's mouth looked up. "Yeah right! Jack offered me a good deal to come and rescue his little precious. After this job was done, I was back on Heylin. There was a nice museum I wanted to rob too."

Chase turned his attention to the woman holding the lizard. She kinda reminded me of Dad. Not much, but just a tiny bit. She was a little younger than Mom and Dad, but not much.

"And who, are you?" he asked.

Thewoman looked up. "Megan Spicer. Jack's cousin, and if I can think right, her second cousin."

Chase looked amused. He turned to me. "This is the rescue army your parents send for your aide? I'm highly entertained. I thought it would've been better than two woman, and a dragon."

I looked down at the creature. "That's a dragon? Look's like a gecko to me."

The dragon spoke up. "I AM NOT A GECKO! I'm Dojo Kanojo Cho, and I am, for some very odd reason, a part of the plan to rescue you."

Chase glared at the dragon. "Oh, I can think of a reason, but I doubt that nitwit Spicer thought of it. No, you were probably included in case the Golden Tiger Claws were lost. Isn't that what you were always used for? Transportation?"

I watched the dragon cast a sad look down. "Oh don't worry Dojo," Chase said. "I have another use for you."

Dojo's eyes lit with fear. "You, c-c-can't eat a dragon with a-a-asthma, c-can you?"

Chase looked amused. "Wasn't this the stunt you pulled off years ago with the monks? 'You can't hit a dragon with asthma, can you?' As Omi said, yes, I can."

An idea hit me. "Chase, should I contact my mother now? Let her know they were caught, and lure them here?"

Chase considered it. "Yes. You're starting to think quite evilly."

I closed my eyes in thought, and waited until she replied.

A/N: I didn't like this chapter much. Either in the next chapter, or the one after it is when things get very interesting. And I decided, there will not be lemon in this fic. Just because I'm thirteen, and I think it'd be way to awkward if my parent's read this fanfic, and saw it. BEWARE: Chase may become OOC like. It'll seem like it, but it'll all clear up in the end.
