The place was packed with rabbits and ducks, all enjoying their own bowls of noodles. Luckily, there were two seats open near the kitchen door. Justice looked around the restaurant while Esau tried to fight the drool that began to come out of his mouth. He noticed his sister was distracted by something, but before he could say anything, an old raccoon-like creature appeared and greeted them.

"Justice, how wonderful it is to see you again."

"Master Shifu," Justice bowed in respect to the red panda, elbowing Esau to do the same. "I was wondering if you had forgotten about my visit."

Shifu laughed. "I would never forget a thing like that."

He glanced at Esau for a moment and seemed interested in the grey wolf, whose stomach had just growled in defiance to his wishes.

"Who's your obviously hungry friend, Justice?"

"This is my little brother, Esau. I brought him here for warrior training. I promise he won't cause any problems."

Justice snarled at Esau viciously. "Isn't that right, brother?"

Esau gulped and nodded without hesitation.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After ordering about four bowls of Mr. Ping's famous Secret Ingredient Soup (all for Esau), they began ascending the steps towards the Jade Palace. Master Shifu was astounded at the small wolf's speed, despite the fact that he had just eaten enough to feed a small family.

"Does he eat like that all the time?" asked Master Shifu when Esau was out of earshot.

"Non-stop. It's a wonder how he doesn't get any chubbier."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Before long, they reached the training room and witnessed an amazing display of the Furious Five plus 1½ in action.

Tigress and Crane sparred on the Jade Tortoise, matching each other blow for blow. This made Esau wonder.

Fire and Ice, Yin and Yang; I wonder if they ever argue.

Viper, in her suave, dancelike motion, dodged and weaved through the fire pit. It hypnotized Esau for a moment, leaving him unaware of the spikes on the Wooden Crocodiles that he had wandered into. Luckily, Justice pulled him out of the way before he set off any unnecessary spikes.

"Thanks." said Esau once he realized how close he was to singing soprano.

Justice sighed and turned towards the Swinging Clubs of Oblivion, where Po was practicing. He was doing better with his balance on the Sea of Snakes, but that still wasn't enough to keep him from falling on his monochromic butt. Jo was just watching him, taking a break from his practice on the Adversary. It took him a while to realize the new visitors with Master Shifu, but once he did, Justice could tell a rivalry had immediately established between the badger and the grey wolf.

Let's Begin!

"All right, who do I fight first?"

Both Justice and Jo stepped forward, but being the gentleman he is, Jo let Justice proceed. Justice shot him an amused glance and walked toward where Esau was at the Training Grounds.

"Ready, twinkle-toes?"

Esau bowed and went to his position on the training grounds. They both dropped into their fighting stances and circled each other. Justice was the first to attack, executing a swift punch towards her brother's head and quickly followed it up with a sweeping kick, both of them blocked and dodged by the grey wolf.

Esau chuckled. "Not holding back, are ya?"

"Nope," replied the silver-like blur as she flipped over her little brother, kicking him in the back of the head.

Esau stood stunned, rubbing his sore spot. The blow almost knocked him out, but he shook it off after a few seconds. He looked back to his taunting sister, who was just standing there waiting, furiously.

"You asked for it."

He growled at his sister and started running toward her at full speed. (A/N: That's about the speed of 120 mph). He pounced when he was about two inches away from her, jumping so high that his silhouette was barely visible in the blinding sun. When he came down, his left leg was posed for a drop kick. Aiming to hit Justice with his thigh, he was located directly above him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh...aa…aaa!"

Esau's battle cry, slowly faded to a high-pitched whimper. Justice, suspecting the attack all along, just moved a yard to her right. In her place stood a cone-shaped, rabbit-sized rock, which Esau had collided right into. (That's gotta hurt.)

"Ouch!" said all of the males, each turning away from the horrible sight they just witnessed. Tigress and Viper tried to keep from laughing at Justice's sneaky attack, but without avail.

Justice looked down at her squirming brother, recovering after a quick fit of laughter, and said:

"Lesson's over for today"

Then she turned and walked towards the barracks with Tigress and Viper following her.

Finally, the action has arrived, but there would be more, less embarrassing fights to come. And for those wondering, Trey and Zoran will appear in the next chapter. Plus, a secret is uncovered about Justice and her family.

Please R&R and no flames.:-K
