___________________________________________________________________________________
The next day after picking Yaro up and bringing him to the temple they gave a quick tour of the temple. It wasn't however till they showed him their last destination, the training grounds, that Yaro started complaining.
"Man why do we have to wear these robes?", he whined. "There so baggy and hard to move around in, I don't know how you stand it".
"You get use to 'em after awhile", said Raimundo knowing exactly how he felt after he first had to wear the robes.
"And why does Raimundo get the awesome looking threads?", Yaro asked eyeing Raimundo's Shoku warrior robes.
"It's because he's the Shoku warrior and our leader", Kimiko explained trying hard to not sound annoyed. "We explained this to you yesterday remember?"
"Oh yeah", Yaro said laughing akwardly. Kimiko sighed deeply she had a feeling it would be hard mentoring Yaro.
"Alrighty now, since we've all gone and showed ya's the temple grounds, I reckon its time we get to the real work", said Clay pulling Violet lightly to the center of the grounds. Kimiko did the same with Yaro, she made Yaro stand next to Violet as she made her place next to Clay.
"What are we going to do?", Violet asked confused and a little scared.
"It's alright Vie", Kimiko said in an assuring voice, "were just going to test your guy's teamwork. Clay and I are gonna set up some obstacles for you. While we do that you two have to work together in perfect unison to avoid our attacks."
Yaro and Violet looked at each other nervous. Clay laughed seeing there nervous glances, "Don't worry you two, it ain't all that hard", he said reassuringly.
"Clay's right", said Raimundo walking into the center of the feild before they started. "As new xiaolin dragons in training, you need to learn teamwork and the strength and weaknesses of each other. It'll come in handy when you have to face off against foes like Chase Young."
"I agree", said an all too chillingly familar voice. The Xiaolin monks adruptly turned to face the source of where the voice came from, while Dojo hid under Clay's hat as usual. In the shadow of the tree top's an all too familiar figure coudl be seen and his cat like eyes could be clearly seen. He quickly jumped from his hiding place and faced the monks, with a smug look on his face. It was their old nemesis Chase Young himself.
"This kind of excercise is perfect against those like me", he continued with that chillfully evil grin on his face. "In fact lets test them out shall we?" Before anyone knew what was happening, Chase ran at lightning like speed and punched Yaro as if he was nothing. Yaro skidded from the impact and fell face first on the tiled ground.
"Yaro", Violet cried letting her guard down. Making it easy for Chase to come in for the attack, luckily Violet noticed his shadows and dodged his attack. Making instead of her he hit the ground causing the tiles to break where he struck. Violet rolled away from him and jumped back up, but as soon as she rose from the ground Chase came from behind and kicked her right into Yaro just as he also came up.
"Hmph, not much of a fight are they?", Chase inquired as soon as he landed gracefully from a midair backflip. "Not what I'd expect from the Xiaolin Dragons of Wood and Lightning".
"How did you", Omi started but then remembered yesterday's incident, "Jack Spicer he told you".
"Yes he did, but I already had my suspicions he just confirmed them", said Chase ending with a mocking snicker.
Yaro lightly moved Violet off of him as he got up and readied himself in a fighting pose. Chase saw this and smirked.
"Are you seriously going to take me on alone foolish one?".
Yaro growled and activated his wu. "Rings of Barak", he cried and charged straight for Chase. "I'm gonna rub that arrogant smirk right off your face!", he cried as he lunged for Chase's throat.
"Yaro no! He's too powerful for you to handle at this level!", Kimiko cried but it was too late. Yaro's efforts were futile for as soon as he was in reaching distacne from Chase, he grabbed onto Yaro's throat with ease and threw him to the ground. The impact caused some of the ground to crack around him.
"What a foolish boy", said Chase as he stepped over Yaro with ease. "His ego blings him from thinking straight when going into battle." He then drifted his cold eyes to the quivering Violet who didn't dare move from the spot she was thrown at. "And that one is a coward, quaking in her shoes not even bothering to get up from the ground. Such is not worthy of being a Xiaolin Dragon." Violet looked at the ground ashamed and sank her head real low knowing his words were the truth.
"Dont..talk...about Vie like that", everyoen turned to see Yaro struggling to get himself up from the ground. "She's strong, you...don't know how...strong she really is!". Again he charged himself at Chase, Vie knew this would just end with Yaro getting seriously hurt she had planned to not show her real strengths to Chase YOung, but she had to save her friend.
Quickly jumped to at least 5 ft in the air she flipped over Chase and landed right in between them to halt Yaro's attack. Yaro couldn't believe she was stopping him. "Vie, why are you stopping me? After he insulted you like that, how could you not want to beat him up?".
"Yaro, I wanted him to see my weak side of myself", she explained. "That way he wouldn't think of us being any a threat and possibly not try to destroy us or harm our loved ones, maybe even not bother with the other dragons."
Yaro stared at her with disbelief, while Chase only chuckled. "Clever girl, but you know that even if you used your full pultentiol at this stage in training you would only lose." Vie didn't say anything she was just going to make sure that Yaro didn't get himself killed. The rest of the Xiaolin gang quickly surrounded Chase in full battle posistion. "Don't worry you Xiaolin fools", said Chase almost annoyed. "I won't harm the new dragons. I don't have an interest in them," he then jumped and landed on the walls of the Xiaolin temple. Before he left he said, "There is only one dragon I'm interested in, and for all either of us know it could be any one of you. All will be told in due time." A puff of smoke then exploded around the whole area making it so no one could, by the time it cleared up Chase was gone.
"What do you think he meant 'it could be any one of you'", Kimiko asked. "I thought he wanted Omi on the heylin side more then anyone".
Raimundo shrugged, "Who knows, but we can't worry about that now. Kimiko, Clay continue your training with Vie and Yaro. Omi you stay and watch them incase Chase comes back and needs help. I'll go tell Master Fung what happened earlier." Everyone nodded and did as they were ordered as soon as Raimundo was out of sight.
Hours passed and Rai still hadn't return worried they stoppted their training and headed to find him.
"I wonder why Rai never returned", Kimiko said out loud a little concern.
"Maybe he was given a mission or something?", suggested Yaro.
Omi shook his head, "Not possible he wouldn't leave without telling us where he is going."
"There you guys are!", exclaimed a familiar voice the gang turned to find Raimundo with Master Fung not to far behind. "We've been looking all over for ya' what gives I'm gone a few hours and then you just up and leave?".
"Well you were jus' takin so long partner that we got's a little worried is all", explained Clay.
Raimundo sighed, "Its alright guys, anyway Vie come with me I have to talk to you about something."
Confused Vie followed Raimundo, while Master Fung came forward and talked to the rest of the gang.
"Kimiko", he said getting her attention, "could I borrow your phone for awhile? Violet's parents wrote a letter and wish to discuss with me a matter concerning Violet."
"Um sure Master Fung", Kimiko replied while handing him her phone. "Is it bad news?"
"I do not know, I'll see once I have contacted them", he said then left. For awhile Omi, Clay, Kimiko, and Yaro just stood there not knowing what to do, they weren't given any instructions so they didn't know what to do. They decided to just hang out at the training grounds but as they passed one of the rooms they heard Master Fung talking.
"Yes Violet is doing very well here", Master Fung said, the four monks leaned in careful not to be seen to see Master Fung talking on the phone with Vie's parents. "Yes they are being very kind to her, and she is making progress." He was silent for they were talking on the other end. "Oh? Are you sure its that serious of an ailment?", Vie's parents said something else again and Master Fung nodded. "Could die you say? Well if it's that serious then I'm sure it wont be a problem. Send the contents here and we should have everything in order. Don't worry we'll take very good care of her." He then hung up the phone and turned, before they could be seen the Xiaolin monks turned and made it look like they were just walking down that hall that very moment, just as Master Fung walked out of the room.
"Oh Master Fung", OMi said as casually as he could. "What a coincidence jogging into you like this."
"That's running into you Omi", Kimiko corrected.
"That too".
"Gretting's young monks", said Master Fung "yes this is a coincidence but shouldn't you all be doing yoru chores. I just saw Violet not to long ago cutting wood."
"Cutting wood?!", all four of them shouted and ran to find Violet leaving a very confused Master Fung.
They ran to the grounds and found Violet holding an ax and getting ready to cut her first peice of wood.
"Violet wait!", they shouted and ran towards her. Vie turned to see the four of them charging towards her.
"What's up guys?", she said as they stopped, Clay then quickly grabbed the ax out of Vie's hands. "Hey! Why did you take that! Its my turn to cut wood."
Clay lifted it up so that Violet couldn't get it, "Sorry Vie but its too dangerous for ya' I'll take care of it you go and do something else."
"But", she protested but before she could finish, Kimiko was pushing her away from the scene.
"Come on you heard your mentor, go find something not so dangerous for one in your condition".
Vie wanted to protest more but she could tell she wasn't going to win. So she didn't bother and went off to do her ohter chores.
"We must make sure that Violet doesn't strain herself", Omi remarked with concern, "for too much strain could make it so that her deadly disease could only worsens." Everyone nodded and decided to keep a close eye on Violet all day. While they thought it was for her own good Violet was anything but grateful.
"GRR! What is with everyone today!", Violet shreiked when she was all alone. "They've been doing everything hard for me all day!"
Violet rememberd the incidents that occured that day, after the wood indicent Violet set out to rake the leaves like she was suppose to. But as soon as she picked up a rake Kimiko came and took it from her hand.
"Violet this is too hard of a job find something less constructive to do and I'll take care of this". Then when she went to trim the hedges and branches in the tree's Yaro came and stole the clippers.
"Sorry Vie, but this is too dangerous for you try something else". He said and did the work for her. But what was worse was when Omi came in and stopped her from one of the easiest jobs of all, emptying Dojo's litter box.
"Violet this is too much strain with one such as yourself, I shall take care of this difficult task for you". That put her over the edge.
"Does everyone think I'm so weak? Am I really that shy and timid of a girl that I can't be trusted with anything?", she growled and stormed off frustrated like never before. She was so angry that she didn't see Rai turn a corner and they ran into each other.
"Ow, are you ok?", they both said in unison, realizing they said the same thing they laughed and got up at the same time. "Here let me help you up". But both were already up and they laughed again.
"I'm glad I ran into you Vie I need help with something and I can't find any of the guys or Kimiko anywhere", he said scratching his head. "So can you help me or are you too busy?"
Violet beamed, "Yes I'd love to help anything, anything at all I"m your girl!".
"Alright then thanks for your help", Rai said and lead her to where he needed help.
'At least Rai treats me as an equal', Vie thought and followed.
It turned out Rai needed help with folding laundry, it wasn't a big job but the fact that someone asked for her help made it seem like the biggest job in the world to Vie. While folding she told Raimundo about the gangs strange behavior that day.
"Omi even stopped you from empyting Dojo's litter box?", Raimundo said in a shocked tone. "That's odd no one likes doing that job to think he stopped you and did it himself."
"I know, I just dont' get it do I really come as someone that weak?". Violet then sighed and hung her head low.
"Vie you are not weak", said Raimundo in a strong tone, "I don't know what all their problem is but as soon as we finish this up we'll go and see why". Vie nodded but they didn't need to go find the rest of the gang. For they found Rai and Vie first.
"Raimundo! Violet!", Omi cried.
"Hey guys", Raimundo waved at them, "we were just talking about you."
"RAIMUNDO YOU IDIOT!", Kimiko, Clay, Omi, and Yaro all shouted in unison right in his face. "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT VIOLET'S DEADLY DISEASE?!"
There was an akward silence, for a moment.
"Huh?", Rai and Vie said in unison.
"Deadly disease? What are you talking about?", asked Violet more confused then ever.
"You don't have to hide it anymroe Vie", said Yaro reassuringly, "we heard Master Fung talking about you with your parents. Saying that you have a serious ailment and could die. So we've been making sure you don't strain yourself so not to get any sicker."
Rai and Violet looked at each other and after a long moment they bursted out laughing. "You guys", Raimundo said through his laughter, "Master Fung wasn't talking about Violet at all."
"What? But they asked how she was doing and Master Fung said she was fine", Kimiko countered.
"Well of course they asked how I was doing, that's just comment sense for parents", Violet said still laughing. "But seriously I'm not the one with the deadly disease".
"If it wasn't you they were talking about then who?", Kimiko asked just then Master Fung came in holding a cardbourd box with holes in it.
"Here you all are", he said then turned to Violet, "Violet your package has arrived and looks like your companion had a fine journey here." He then opened the box and out popped a calico kitten. The little kitten jumped into Violet's arms.
"Poki!", Vie cried snuggling with the little cat. "Its so good to see you girly!".
"It seems she is very happy to see you", Raimundo said crouching and petting the tiny kitten. "Your parents wont have to worry about her anymore."
"Um, could ya'll explain to us what is going on here?", Clay asked scratching his head.
"What? I thought you already knew", Master Fung said almost astonished. "When I came to see everyone one of you and tried to tell you about Violet's cat you said, 'We know already Master Fung and don't worry we got it covered.' But by the look of your faces I can see there has been a bit of a mix up."
Sheepishly the four told Master Fung about overhearing his conversation with Violet's parents. "We thought since you were discussing Violet's behavior that she was the one with the deadly disease." Explained Kimiko laughing akwardly.
"First of all young monks", Master Fung said in a wise yet stern tone, "you should have asked either me or Violet about the situation, to make sure what you heard was correct. Especially you Omi, Kimiko, and Clay you are Wudai warriors you should have known better."
"Your right Master Fung", Clay said haning his head in shame, "its just we didn't want to seem like we was bein nousy, and if violet really did have a deadly disease. Why didn't want to cause her and miscomfort is all".
"I understand Clay, but still you should have talked about the matter anyway", said Master Fung hten continued. "Second of all let me clear up the conversation I had with her parents. They asked about Violet once but then went ahead and talked about the matter they were ocncerned about."
"Violet's kitten Poki, hasn't eaten anything since she left, the vet says she misses Violet", said Valerie. "Is it that serious of an ailment?", asked Master Fung. "Yes the doctor said that Poki could die if not near Violet", she continued. "Coud die you say?", Master Fung asked. "Yes so could Poki stay at the temple with Violet she'd be crushed if Poki died," she asked him. Master Fung nodded, "if its that serious it shouldn't be a problem. We'll take good care of her."
Everyone was silent till Master Fung broke the silence. "Poki missed Violet, so I have agreed for her to live here it. I'm sure you'll all take good care of her. Look on the bright side young monks you learned two great lessons. 1. Also make sure you are right in a serious situation, and 2. You learned a great lesson in humilaty." He then walked leaving the four embarssed monks awstruck.
"Will they be ok?", Violet asked concerned.
"Yeah they should be fine hey lets go set up Poki's things and let them process everything's that just happened", Raimundo said still laughing a little and lead Violet away.
Dojo then came in and saw the four monks standing like statues, "What's wrong with all of you?", he asked. He then saw Violet and Rai walking with Poki in her arms. "Oh the cat's here! Finally a companion of my own size, well until I transform that is", he then ran off ot join Rai and Violet.
"Even Dojo knew", said Kimiko in awe and all four of them fell on their backs on the stone cold ground. "We are such idiots", she continued.
"Yep idiots", the rest agreed, and watched the clouds for hours.
