Secrets

Chapter 10 – The Caveanna style

"Shifu!" Eva roared. Shifu immediately sat up straight and cleared his throat and said,

"Students," he pointed to the Spanish tiger, "This is Master Eva of the Tiger style, she's my niece," now turning to the cloaked figure in black, "This is one of my great niece's, Master Gabs. She has mastered a different aspect of martial arts called Caveanna fighting."

Master Eva and Master Gabs were bowed to by the students of the Jade Palace. The two new masters bowed back. Master Gabs took off her hood to her pale white skin and tied up brown hair and single curl which lay on her right shoulder.

"You're a human?" Viper questioned.

"I thought they only existed in myths and legends," Monkey added.

"In every animal there is a human and in every human there is an animal, although humans are animals themselves," Mantis said with a big grin on his face, "The Woman in black I presume, or should I call you by your title – Supreme Caveanna."

"You have learnt well from your father haven't you...Dr. Mantis' son,"

But Master Gabs did not say this, oh no, she thought it! She was having a mental conversation with Mantis. Only people with a very high concentration of psychic ability and mental capacity are able to do so. Mantis and Gabs were two of the few who can do this.

"If you don't say about my little secret then I won't tell about yours." Mantis replied.

"So they say," Mantis said aloud.

What Gabs and Mantis realised was that someone with an extraordinary mental capacity and psychic ability was listening to their conversation...but who?

"So what are you really here for Gabs."

"Can't I see my old friend, chica?" She said with Spanish attitude, but then realised another 'old friend' was in the room.

"Tai Lung....WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OUT OF THE THIRTEENTH DIMENSION!" Gabs screeched but now calmed down a bit but was still completely and utterly gob-smacked, Like father, like daughter I guess,"

"Daughter!" almost everyone said in unison.

"I never knew that Tai Lung had a daughter!"

"Having children is a wonderful thing you know," Tai Lung said in his defence his face was changed, it became more relaxed and he looked towards the sky with a dreamy expression, "From the moment you hold them,"

"And the moment they first look at you," Gabs added with the same dreamy expression.

"And when they hold your finger so very, very tight," Eva said with the same expression, only now swaying her body from left to right.

" To when they first show their Spanish attitude," Tigress giggled while looking at her three cubs. Everyone else giggled wildly.

"To when they first call you Baba," sighed...Crane!

Everyone immediately looked at crane with a horrified expression.

"Crane," Shifu began, "Is their anything you're not telling us?"

"What," Crane said, trying to keep his cool, "you think that I...I mean...you see..." Crane just sighed and gave up, "Yes, I have a daughter...with Mei Ling,"

"What!" They all said in unison.

"You mean you're Crannie's father," Kitty asked in amazement, "I didn't know you had it in you to be honest."

"Hey!" Crane shouted.

"I've been keeping that secret for twenty years and you already knew?" Tigress shouted.

"You knew he was Crannie's father?" Mia questioned.

"Come on, it was so obvious," Tigress replied.

"Uh, no it wasn't," Shifu muttered.

"Yes it was. Mei Ling was young, unmarried, pregnant and scared of rejection. That is why she left Crane." Eva said sternly.

"Shh," Lili whispered loudly, "Someone is here, watching us right now.." In only a second, literally, Lili was at the other side off the hall way, looking round the corner but only managed to see a black tail which disappeared round the other corner. Lili then started to sniff the air,

"It's a jaguar," she sniffed some more, "Blood type...oh wait a second,"

She now, using her vampire supper speed, ran to Kitty's side and started to sniff her.

"Hey!" Kitty said, Lili was obviously annoying her, "Me being your godmother does not mean that you can sniff me any time you like!"

"Godmother?" Monkey screeched, but she just let it go. No one else really reacted to this, they were used to this sort of stuff by now.

"She was one of your sisters," Lili finally stated.

"How many sisters do you have?" Monkey asked in curiosity.

"Seven," most people raised their eyebrows, "Only one of them is sane unfortunately. The others belong to a pop group called 'Kitty Kat Dolls'."

"Wow," Viper said in amazement, "They're famous around these parts!"

"Well, you know what they say about family, You cannot live with them...and you don't know how to kill 'em,"

"I totally know what you mean, Kit," CJ said. Lili and Tai exchanged looks and both gave CJ a hard head slap. CJ giggled evilly just for the fun of it and to freak others out...which he did.

"So...Crane..." Monkey began, "Where is your daughter now?"

"Right behind you actually," a soft voice called from behind. It was a very unusual looking cat. She had very pale grey fur with large, dark grey spots. She had sunny yellow eyes like her father. She wore a light green scarf with turquoise trousers and sleeveless top. It had a white water design imprinted. She was very beautiful. She dropped the white bag that was on her back and ran to give her father a hug.

"Guys, this is my daughter Crannie." Crane announced,

"Crannie, these are all the guys I've been telling you about," Crannie waved and smiled.

"Hi," she said softly, "I've heard loads about you guys," she now looked around and saw quite a few members of her family. She raised her eyebrows, "Wow...its like a family reunion!"

"So Master Gabs," Viper asked curiously, "What exactly is Caveanna fighting?"

"Well..." Gabs began. To everyone's surprise, Gabs flew a couple of meters in mid air. All the doors opened suddenly releasing a cold breeze, "the powerful immortal kind of fighting."

Elsewhere, in Dracula's castle in Transylvania, a single pool was shining bright in a dead, dark room. A golden Languor monkey looked into the pool. It showed the scene that was happening right now in the Jade Palace. It zoomed in on Tai Lung.

" Oh Tai Lung," the monkey whispered.

Two other animals' faces could now be seen behind the monkey. One a panther and the other a human with long black hair. They were both males.

All three whispered in unison, "We are coming,"

A/N: Dun, dun, DUN! Hope that's enough for you to think about during my holiday – going to Romania for a week. I'm Romanian! Hasta La Vista, baby ;)
