Prologue

Raimundo's POV

"So . . . this is really it . . ." Clay spoke softly and we all looked at each other with sad eyes.

"I believe so my friend . . ." Omi replied.

"But it won't be forever . . . right? I mean one day will all meet again." Kimiko said, but we remained silent, until I spoke.

"Yeah definitely, just when things are less . . . complicated . . ." I replied.

We all looked away from each other, not wanting to make eye contact because of how sad our good-bye is. No one wanted to see each other's sad face. Soon Master Fung came outside to bid us a farewell one last time.

"Do not be sad young monks as it is said "That friends only part, to meet once more". I am certain you shall only meet again someday." Master Fung said and we all gave small smiles and bowed to him one last time.

"Thank you for everything Master," We all bowed and then watched as he smiled to us.

I then turned to Omi knowing he wouldn't being joining us as Dojo would be dropping Clay, Kimiko, and I off to our destination. I watched as he was being a little childish and not looking at us, until I placed my hand on his head and he looked up to me and I smiled.

"Don't look so sad cheese ball, will be back before you know it." I spoke.

"Me sad! Please! A Xiaolin Warrior is strong and tough like myself!" He shouted and we all laughed and then he gave a warm smile to us.

"I bid you all farewell my friends and hope that your journey is safe." Omi replied and we all gave him a group hug and said our good-bye's until boarding on Dojo's back.

As Dojo was about to take off, I looked back along with Clay and Kimiko and waved to Master Fung, Omi, and the other monks as we started to fly away. I looked to Omi and noticed as I looked back the sadness in his eyes as he waved to us. . . Our first stop was Texas and it was a little ways from here, but we all mostly made small talk, until it was time to say good-bye to Clay. I watched as Kimiko gave him a hug as he lifted her into the air and she placed a small kiss on his cheek.

"I really hope everything works out with your Dad's ranch and all Clay. I'm sure you'll be a great care taker to the ranch." Kimiko said and he gave a small smile.

"Now you be strong little lady and take care of yourself." Clay spoke and she smiled to him as he let her down and came toward me.

"Well partner . . . It was an honor fighting by your side leader." He smirked and placed a hand on my shoulder as I gave a sincere smile.

"You to cowboy . . . I hope everything works out." I replied.

"Same for you Raimundo,"

Kimiko and I said our good-byes before getting on Dojo's back and leaving once more another good friend and Xiaolin Warrior. We were now heading to Tokyo, Japan and on the way there Kimiko and I remained in silence. I would glance at her every now and then, but then all I would see is her looking in the distance with sad eyes as her raven black hair blew in the wind. I thought she was going to cry a few times, but in the end she remained strong. I admired her for her strength. She was unlike any girl I had ever met in my life.

She is absolutely incredible, smart, funny, and most of all . . . beautiful. She was like my best friend and I knew I could always count on her for anything. Although I do tease her and annoy her at times, she still puts up with me in the end. I think saying good-bye to her will be the hardest thing to do in my life. Once we arrived in Tokyo we got off Dojo and asked Dojo to leave us for a moment so that we could talk in private much to my surprise.

We sat down at the dock and faced the blue calm ocean as the sun was about to set in front of us. We were silent again for a while, until she spoke.

"I can't believe how this all happened so fast . . . Clay having to help take care of his father's ranch, me having to deal with my father possibly going into bankruptcy, and you dealing with . . ." She spoke.

"My mother being ill . . ." I interrupted and I noticed now her facing me with sad eyes.

"I just can't believe this all just happened to all of us . . . I mean, I really thought the Xiaolin life would be it for us . . . but now I see we all had to eventually realize that, that life was only temporary . . . That now we really have to grow up and face our own lives . . ."

"Yeah, I know what you mean . . . Life isn't easy, it's hard . . . However, I know that no matter what happens from here, will all be ok . . . and that will all meet again real soon after everything is situated . . ."

"For some reason, I just have a bad feeling about all of this . . . with all of us separated now . . . I'm a little worried . . . I feel like everything is going to change between all of us now . . ." She spoke and I watched her look out into the ocean again.

I did something that surprised her and myself as I laid my hand on top of hers and watched as she looked back at me quite surprised, but didn't pull away.

"It won't . . . I promise . . . Kimiko you're the most stubborn and short tempered person I have ever met." I said.

"Hey!" She exclaimed and playfully punched me softly, but I continued.

"But you're also the strongest, bravest, smartest, funniest, and incredible girl I have ever met . . . I know you'll be fine . . . I believe in you . . ." I grinned and I watched for a minute as she stared in awe at me.

Dojo came back now and I knew it was time for me to go. I stood up and then offered her a hand to which she gave a small laugh and smile as she gladly took me hand. I didn't want to let go of her soft delicate hand in mine. I actually wished we had more time like this to talk and stay like this just for a while longer. Just as I was about to let go of her hand, I felt her tighten her hold.

"Rai . . . wait . . . there's something I have to tell you . . ." Kimiko spoke softly enough so I could here and I nodded facing her with my hand still in hers.

"What is it Kim?" I asked.

She looked up to me with those beautiful sapphire eyes and I saw a hint of sadness and . . . nervousness? Suddenly without any warning she leaned closer to my face and placed her lips to mine, making my eyes go wide with shock! She kissed me! My mind just went at a blank for that entire moment. Once she pulled away, she looked at me with a slight blush and saw the shock expression on my face, but then she began to talk.

"I'll miss you Rai . . . take care." She spoke and I felt her hand slip from mine and I was just speechless.

She started to back away from me as Dojo was behind me and I knew it was time to board. She gave a small smile and a small wave to me. I climbed on Dojo's back and gave a small wave to her and then I notice Dojo begin to fly away. I turned back not wanting to lose sight of her, but then my eyes went wide at what I saw next. I watched a single tear fall from her eye and I felt my heart ache inside . . . I never said anything after she kissed me and I knew I'd regret it . . . I knew saying good-bye would be the hard, but I never imagined it would be this hard.

I still stared at her, until I couldn't see her anymore and inside my heart was aching bad. I realized that would be the last time I see of Kimiko . . . in a long time . . .
