A beautiful glistening sun shone down on the xiaolin temple as the monks were outside for their morning training. As usual Master Fung had given them each a shen gong wu to practise with and had paired them up to practise battle techniques. At one end of the practise ground was Omi and Clay; an unfair battle when you compare size. However, Omi was a very skilled warrior. At the other end of the practise ground was Raimundo and Kimiko; two very skilled warriors who were also very great friends. However, unknown to Kimiko there was more to her Raimundo wanted to be than just which he could never admit.
As the two warriors battled with their chosen shen gong wu; Raimundo with the Sword of the Storm and Kimiko with the Star Hanabi, both became lost in the fight. Kimiko summoned her power of fire which she then combined with the Star Hanabi to produce an enormous streak of flames which flew directly to Raimundo. Raimundo then used the Sword of The Storm to push away the flames which were flying towards him and with a mighty roar the flames flew in various directions across the grounds.
"Hey! Watch it partner" shouted Clay from across the grounds.
"Oops, sorry guys" shouted back Raimundo and Kimiko at the same time.
"Maybe we should stop for now, Rai" suggested Kimiko as she panted from being out of breath.
"Yeah, maybe we should" replied Raimundo watching Kimiko smile and walk away to rest.
That's what Raimundo liked so much about Kimiko, her smile. It wasn't an over the top grin and not a maybe it is maybe it isn't smile, it was a small modest smile that always left a sparkle in her eyes. Raimundo had always seen Kimiko as an amazing friend but had deep down always wanted them to be more which he had never found the courage to admit.
"Raimundo?" came a voice which Raimundo didn't react to. "Raimundo, RAIMUNDO!" Raimundo broke out of his trance to find Omi and Clay staring at him inquisitively .
"What's wrong partner?" asked Clay
"Oh, err ermmm, nothing I was just daydreaming" replied a dazed Raimundo.
Just as Clay was about to speak Dojo broke in announcing that a new shen gong wu had just revealed itself.
"What the shen gong wu Dojo?" asked Kimiko running outside from the temple.
"Its called the Pendant of Dashi" he replied "a powerful little shen gong wu which gives the wearer power over anyone they choose."
"Well lets go get it" said Raimundo
The monks rushed onto Dojo ready to fly off to get the shen gong wu.
