I don't own Xiaolin showdown! Btw I'm a bad speller XD

Dark Days Are Now

It was early morning at the Xiaolin Temple. So early in fact that the sun hadn't rose over the mountains yet, but that did not mean that all was quiet and peaceful.

It was summer at the Xiaolin Temple, which meant there was less training. But still the same amount of chores to be done, by our four favourite dragons-in-training. So because of the lack of training the young dragons had taken to getting up before sunrise, doing their chores, having breakfast, do some training with Master Fung and then have the rest of the day to themselves. With the occasional Shen-Gon-Wu alert from Dogo all was well.

"Whhhhoooooowwwwhhhhooooo! Yeah!" shouted a tall brown haired boy as he skidded along the floor, on the brushed he was meant to be scrubbing them with.

"Careful, Rai. You don't want to hurt yourself before training or Master Fung will Know you've been slacking off again," called Kimiko as Raimundo almost knocked over the stack of dished Omi and Clay where cleaning.

"Oh yes, Raimundo. Yet another reason why Master Fung should of picked me as Shuko Worrier instead of you," Omi said, once again bringing up the fact that he thought he was still better than everybody else.

Rai's face showed sings of anger and looked as if he was going to shout the temple down until Clay beat him to it, trying to keep everything calm.

"Omi, I wouldn't get to cocky. You see our old Rai here is pretty powerful to. And if Master Fung thinks he has the potential to lead us, then we should respect his disicion," Clay said hoping this would settle Raimundo down a bit, and it did, but still not by much.

"Well said, Clay," Kimiko said, getting off her posision on the floor, which her and Raimundo were meant to be scrubbing.

Raimundo came to stop on the floor scrubs at her word and nearly crashed into a wall. He kick the brushed off his feet and walled over to Kimiko. "You really think I have the potential to lead you" he asked looking at her.

Kimiko place a petite hand on his arm, "Yeah," she said looking at him to, "why else would Master Fung choose you. You'll be a great leader; you just need to get used to it I guess." She finished smiling up at him. He blushed a little at his best friend and privet crush.

"Thanks," he said giving her a one armed hug, which she returned. It felt good to have her in his arms, that way he knew she was safe. He would hate himself if something happened to her and he wasn't there to protect her.

After a moment Clay coughed and the two broke apart blushing slightly. Clay smiled, knowing his two friends feelings for one another, but also knowing they would never admit it. Omi however looked confused.

"What is that pink thing on there faces? Are they ill?" Omi asked Clay quietly, though the other two still heard it, making them blush more deeply.

Rai's POV

We had all finidhed our chores and I was thinking about what had happened earlier with Kimi. I wondered through the Temple with my head down thinking. Oh my gosh. I just hugged her. OK I know she's my best friend and all and that we've hugged before, but that felt different. It felt like I never wanted to let go of her, though I wouldn't mind that. But she hugged me back. I wonder if she felt the same thing? Should I ask her? ... no better not, if she didn't it could be weird for our friend ship. Ooooohhhhhhh, it's really not all that easy loving your best friend Rai thought. Hold on a minute. Ok I know I have a crush on her, I meen she's nice, sweet, can take care of herself but also needs someone to take care of her sometimes. That's what makes her special to me. But I thought it was all just a crush. Love, huh? I love Kimiko? I love ... Kimiko? The more Raimundo thought about, the more sense it made and the more he wished she returned the feelings. Finally he had to admit to himself that he love Kimiko. I looked up to find myself in the gardens. I looked around and saw Kimiko and her laptop smiling. Oh how I love her smile. "I wish I knew if you felt the same way" I mumbled to myself.

Normal POV

Little did he know that what had just been going on in his head, had also been going on in Kimiko's. As Rai stared at Kimiko from across the garden thinking about her feelings towards him, the training gong went and he quickly left as so not to get court stairing by Kimiko. Just before he left her muttered "I love you Kimiko"

Little did he know that the whole sceen had just been watched by none other than Chase Yong, through his magic eye.

Chase's POV

"So the Dragon of Wind is in love with the little Fire Dragon. Well it dose seem like we have found a weakness in our new fearless leader, have we not?" Chase said to himself smiling, looking at Kim through the magic eye. "Well I can't blame him, she is a pretty girl. Well if she seems to be his weakness he wouldn't like if I took an interest in her too. Even though they may not be of the same interest of the same reasons." Chase let out a loud evil laugh and smiled to himself. "I think I shall put this little plan of mine to destroy Raimundo in to action next time a Shen-Gon-Wu goes active"

Little does he know it wont be long.
