Chapter One: Chi and the Peach Blossom Comb

"Legend tells of a warrior who is so powerful, that her power and fighting ability even matches the skills of the Dragon Warrior. As a young fox of eighteen walked though a fog, the wind blew at her brown, battle-worn cape, revealing that she wore plain brown clothing, that was just as battle-worn as the cape. As the vixen reached a bridge, she saw someone in the fog. He was a panda. The fox and the panda bowed in respect to each other. Then, all kinds of villains appeared out of nowhere. The two masters placed their backs to each other.

"'I see that destiny brought us here to do battle, Dragon Warrior.' The fox said in a cool voice to the panda.

"'So, it seems.' The panda responded in the same tone of voice as the fox. 'Enough talk.'

"Both warriors did a kung fu pose before they engaged themselves into battle. The warriors showed so much power and 'awesomeness' that the villains had gone blind.

"'They're too awesome!' one of the villains yelled in pain.

"Then, five more warriors came to the duo's aid. A tiger, a snake, a mantis, a crane, and a monkey made a team to fight against the terrors of the land.

"Then, ten thousand evil warriors came out of nowhere to do battle with the seven masters of Kung Fu. As they jumped to the warriors, the fox heard something."

"Chi, it's time to wake up, or we'll be late."

The fox was confused, and then she fell down into darkness.

A young woman woke up on the floor. She had a good idea how she got from her bed to the floor.

"This happens every time I have a really cool dream." The girl said as she picked herself from the floor.

She looked at the mirror to herself as a human, not a fox. Her brown hair was long enough to reach to the lower part of her back. Her blue eyes were like sapphires as they reflected off the mirror. Her blue and white pajamas showed in the barely lit room.

"Chi, come on!"

The girl yelled back, "Coming, Mom."

Chi went into her closet for a few minutes. When, Chi came out, she has changed out of her pajamas and into a blue shirt, black pants, and white shoes.

"Time to go to work." Chi said with a sigh.

In the restaurant, Holly's Diner, Chi delivered twenty-five orders, and more were coming her way. The diner was a three-generation restaurant, started by Chi's grandmother on her mother's side. Chi's mother was given the restaurant by force, after sending most of a lifetime of being a waitress.

Chi and her younger brother, Board, worked at the restaurant. They worked harder since their older brother, Herc, went to the military after high school.

"Chi-Chi, order up!" a deep voice announced from the kitchen.

Chi walked to the kitchen door, grabbed the tray of food, and said, "Thanks, Yo."

"Anytime, cuz." Yo answered before calling up another order.

Chi carried the food to the table, which a man sat waiting for his meal.

"Here's your food, sir." Chi said, trying her best to be polite.

"Thanks." Said the man, getting the food from the tray, "Can I have a refill?"

"Right away, sir." Chi answered with a smile on her face as she picked up the plastic glass.

Chi was in the middle of a step where she felt a pinch on her backside. She turned around, and saw the man gave her a cocky grin on his face as he held his fingers up to show Chi who pitched her. Chi turned back around and hurried the refill to the man's table.

Chi placed a smile on her face as she said, "Here's your drink, sir." And without another word, the waitress dumped the beverage onto the man's head.

"How many times do I have to tell you before you stop pouring drinks on people?" A middle-aged woman asked Chi who was in a wooden chair.

"And how many times do I have to tell you that the guy pitched me in the butt?" Chi asked her mother/boss.

"Chi," Mica, Chi's mother, said, "You're to have a few days suspension from work."

"Okay." Was all Chi said before she walked out of the door.

Chi was outside the diner, when she saw an elderly man, who looking at his surroundings. Chi was very curious about the old Chinese man, who looked like he was a thousand years old.

"Hello." Chi said, being polite as she can.

The elder continued to look at nature as he answered Chi.

"Hello, young one."

Chi asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I am just enjoying nature." The old man calmly answered.

"Cool." Chi said sincerely.

The old man turned his head to look at Chi, and said, "I saw what you did to the man."

"Here it comes. 'That was very rude.' I've heard this a hundred times." Chi thought in her head.

"That was rather funny." Was the old man's answer.

Chi was about to defend herself. But when she heard his answer, Chi said, "What?"

The old man chucked at Chi's question.

"You were trying to defend yourself, but you did not lash out at him. You decided to be calm and attack him when he thought to have victory in his grasp."

Chi giggled under her breath. That was the first time anyone had commented her about her defense.

"Thank you, sir." Chi said with a relieved smile on her face.

"I've seen many fighters in my time, and I see that you have a lot of potential for a young woman." The old man said, "And, I think you should have this."

The elderly man held out his hand, and revealed what looked like a peach blossom. Chi took a better look, and saw it was a hair accessory that had a glass blossom on it.

"What's the catch?" Chi asked the elder with a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"There is a condition, but it is your choice." Was the elderly man's answer.

"I'm guessing that you wouldn't tell what the condition is." Chi said, doubtful of the old man's honesty.

"Well, if you want to have a destiny of your choice, I will not stop you." The elder said to Chi.

Chi gave some thought before saying to the elderly man, "I don't want to spend all of my life working at the restaurant."

Chi took the comb from the old man's hand and started to look at it.

"Remember," the old man said, "it was your choice."

Chi looked up at the old man, only to find him gone.

"Whoa!" Chi exclaimed, "Either, I just had an encounter with a ghost, or that old man is quick and quiet."

Chi turned to her car, unlocked the door, turned on the car, and started to drive to her home.

"That was strange." Chi thought as she drove.

Later that evening, Chi brushed out her hair, as she was getting ready for bed. Then, she placed the comb in her hair.

"Wow," Chi exclaimed in awe, "it looks like it's for me."

Chi gave a big yawn and went to bed.

Little did Chi knew, her destiny would be revealed to her sooner than she would had thought of at that time.
