2. Chapter 2

"I see…" Sensei Wu agreed to Nya's statement about Emmy. She had just explained how Lloyd found Emmy, and how the little girl didn't seem to know who her parents where or where she lived. So, Nya figured, they had to make a search to find Emmy's parents or if not, take her in at the least.

Across the room, Lloyd sat unhappily with Emmy on a more-or-less babysitting watch. Emmy herself had found one of Nya's oriental fans and was enjoying herself by opening and closing the fan several times. At some point, the little girl held the fan in one hand and twirled her wrist like she was drawing a circle with the fan.

"Interesting…" Wu said, almost absentmindedly as he watched Emmy. Lloyd looked from his uncle to Emmy to his uncle again in disbelief. What was so special about this girl that made him talk like that? Lloyd looked back at Emmy and (for a brief moment of rage) snatched the fan away from the little girl as she threw it into the air.

"That isn't yours kid." Lloyd told her as she slowly began to realize why the fan hadn't come back down into her expectant hands yet. "You don't take things that aren't yours."

"And what excuse do you have Lloyd, taking the fan away from our guest like that?" Wu asked Lloyd patiently. Lloyd instantly blushed in embarrassment.

"Well… I…" he tried to explain, but no words came out.

"She might not have had permission to use Nya's fan like that Lloyd, but Nya is also here to see to what little Emmy does. As far as I have seen, Emmy seems to have a sort of skill at it."

Out of nowhere, Lloyd got angry quickly.

"Anyone can open and close a stupid fan!" he proclaimed before leaving the room in a huff, tossing the fan up into the air. Emmy caught it with both of her hands and effortlessly opened it at the same time. She gave a great big smile that quickly won Nya over, but the smile vanished when she realized that Lloyd wasn't there to have seen it.

"Where'd Woyd go?" she asked.

"Not far." Wu sighed, shaking his head. Not soon after, he got up and started to walk out of the room as well. After him, Nya scooped up Emmy and started to walk out of the room with the little girl as well.

"Are you hungry Emmy?" Nya asked. Emmy nodded and rubbed her tummy.

"Emmy hungry ho wots Miss Nya." Emmy agreed. Nya just laughed.
