"AHHHHHHHH!"

Justice was looking up towards the rafters in Mantis's dorm in the bunkhouse, and she was not very happy. In fact, she was furious. Maybe it was the fact that her little brother was sitting on the rafter twenty-five feet above her.

"Get down from there, you big overgrown fluffball."

"It's a needle!" screamed Esau, who looked and sounded terrified.

"It's Acupuncture."

"It's torture!"

"It'll relax you."

"It'll hurt!"

"No, it won't."

"Yes it will."

"No, it won't."

"Yes it will."

"No, it won't."

"Yes it will."

"No. It. Won't."

"Yes. It. Will!"

Justice sighed and paced around the room in frustration.

"What makes you think it is going to hurt?"

Esau said nothing and pointed towards the pin-cushioned body of Po and the attempts that Jo and the other masters used to revive him.

Justice's frustration quickly turned to understanding. She continued her pacing before she came up with a brilliant idea to get him down.

"What if I go through the acupuncture first, just to show you that it is not as bad as you think?"

Esau's frown lightened up a little.

"Really, no tricks?"

"Warrior's honor," said Justice as she placed her left hand over her right shoulder.

Esau considered this for a while before agreeing with his sister's proposition and jumped down. He was still expecting Justice to keep her end of the bargain, so Justice sat down and took the acupuncture that Mantis was administrating. It felt like being shot in the back with poison-tipped arrows, but trying to keep a brave face for her brother, she succeeded in staying emotionless. She even giggled a little, just to sell it more.

Just ignore the pain; the throbbing, excruciating, everlasting pain.

Once the torture was over, she looked over towards Esau to see how he reacted to her act. Luckily, he fell for it; hook, line, and sinker. He completely forgot how afraid of the needle he was and rushed over to the mat where the silver wolf was just sitting. While Viper was mapping his chakra points, Justice slowly slipped out of the door and ran towards Oogway's Peach Tree, almost bumping into Master Shifu, who was just leaving from there.

"Where are you going in such a hurry, Justice?"

"No time to talk, trying to hide."

Shifu looked around, but found nobody there.

"Hide? From who?"

In spite of this, his words were lost in the cloud of dust, hiding the female wolf from view.

His question was soon answered by her furious, grey-eyed brother who, by the look in his eyes, was packing for a one-way trip to insanity. He ignored the fact that the red panda surpassed him in skill and picked Shifu up, moving him off of his path of destruction, and continued running.


During the training that ensued the next day, Jo trained with Esau and showed him the ropes. Esau, being tired after chasing his sister around the valley all night, decided to try his luck on the Adversary.

"It can't be all that easy, Po even had a hard time with it, and he's the first Dragon Warrior."

Jo just shrugged his shoulders. "Can't argue with that logic, knock yourself out."

He hadn't even gotten a good punch off before he spotted Justice and Po running past the training room.

"Hey, what's up?"

Po stopped at the opening. "Trouble at the village, right in front of Dad's shop."

"Again?" said Jo as he grabbed his dagger and rushed out the door with Po, with Esau following close behind. When they reached Mr. Ping's shop, they set their eyes on a group of boar bandits who were surrounding a black-furred wolf and a fox. The wolf was holding a wooden pole in both hands, blocking the blows that were aimed at him. The fox was not using a weapon, but was still holding his own against the bandits' swords and spears.

'Should we help them?" asked Po as he stood next to Justice.

Justice was about to respond back when a kick from the fox sent a bandit flying into the fruit stand right beside them.

"I think they can handle themselves."

That they did. The wolf dispatched about five bandits before he noticed a boar archer aiming at his partner, who was busy grappling with another boar thug. There was no way that he could get there in time to block the shot.

"Hey, watch your head!"

The fox, who had just dispatched his foe, looked towards the sharpshooter. The archer, thinking he had been spotted, fired an arrow aimed at his head. The canid did not move out of the way of the shot, causing Justice to be concerned for his life.

What is he doing, why doesn't he move out of the way...unless?

The red fox just put his right arm out in front of him and closed it tight. Inside of it was the arrow, the tip just centimeters from the bridge of his nose. Jo could not believe it.

"He just … how'd he … please tell me I'm not the only one who saw that!"

He wasn't the only one who was amazed by the fox's seize of the assassination arrow. All of the warriors were shocked by what they saw; the bandits were even more astounded and practically terrified of the two mysterious fighters. The boars ran away from the scene, but not before returning the money that they had stolen from the bunny patrons.

"Wow, that was totally awesome!"shouted Po as he approached towards the fox. But when he got a good look at the warrior's face, he noticed something that made everything that just happened seem unimaginable.

The fox was blind!

"Zoran, now you know you didn't need to show off like that," said Justice as she walked towards Po. "You could have gotten yourself killed."

The fox turned her direction and started smiling.

"Well, if you were where you said to meet us at, this whole fight could have been avoided."

The black wolf just shook his head. "Give her a break; we were a day late." He turned towards Justice and gave her a hug. "Sorry about the delay, sis."

"You're related!" asked an astounded panda and badger.

"Yep," replied Justice. "Everyone, allow me to introduce you to my big brother Trey and his friend Zoran."


"…So then we started running and Trey fell right into Aminu, slamming the pie right into his face."

"Hey, I didn't fall, I tripped. There's a difference." explained the black wolf.

"It doesn't matter, it's still embarrassing." chuckled Esau.

Justice just shook her head, listening to the story she had heard over 1000 times, in the other room. She tried to focus on her drawing of a woman she knew. It was like a mirror image of her; the image had a small, pointed nose as she did and her eyes were a rich golden-brown like the woman's. Their hair color was almost completely alike, except for two long strands of black hair on the image. Justice glanced at her finished product and sighed.

There's just no substitute for you, Mother. None at all.

How's that for action? And who say's that being blind is a weakness? More secrets still to come.

Please R&R and no flames.:-K
