Love, Death & Grief

Chapter one

It was Christmas Eve at the temple, it was also a beautiful winters day Kimiko sat outside looking at the beautiful white glistening snow and ice surrounding the temple. She breathed out a sigh her breath turning into fog, she liked this time of year and it was going to be her first Christmas at the temple. She was happy, she'd got the guys presents and had decorated the temple with tinsel and other stuff. It was the first Christmas she'd celebrate, her family where always away for Christmas and she'd usually be left with her aunt who hated Christmas and her uncle who she preferred not to think about. She was thinking of all the miserable Christmases she'd had until something freezing cold hit her on the side of the head.

"Ouch" she said rubbing her head when she heard his mischievous laughter ring out across the temple grounds she looked up and saw the brunette laughing at her, she growled at him before leaping up and running at him.

"Whoa… cya Kim" he called seeing the expressing on her face and running. Kimiko chased him like she always did it was fun then he stopped abruptly and threw another snowball at her she shrieked when it hit her and she threw one right back.

"You are so dead Rai!" she called dogging a snowball.

"Aww common Kim, what's a little chill compared to your best friend and boyfriends life!" he said smirking as he caught her around the waist.

"That depends" she smiled.

"Is that right!" he smiled back he then leaned down and kissed her cherry coloured lips, she smiled against his tanned lips and kissed him back. They stayed like this for a long time until they needed air a broke apart, when Kimiko let out a small sneeze.

"Sounds like someone's getting a cold!" Raimundo said he scooped her up in his arms and carried her into the temple.

"What ya up to their partner?" Clay asked slightly amused.

"Just giving Kim a lift," Raimundo joked.

"Rai put me down!" Kimiko laughed.

"I will… but your going straight to bed ya hear chica!" he smiled.

"Fine!" Kimiko said rolling her eyes, but when Raimundo put her down she brought out two snowballs from her pocket and hit Clay and Raimundo with them.

"KIM!" both boys yelled chasing after the laughing Japanese girl.

Later that night when everyone was in bed sleeping Raimundo crept out of his room and over to Kimiko's bedroom door, he knocked knowing she'd still be awake. The door opened and Kimiko's face appeared.

"Rai? What are yo…?" she never got a chance to finish her sentence as Raimundo's lips managed to find hers. Raimundo broke the kiss smiling at her he stepped into her room closing the door behind him. He lifted her up and carried her over to the bed lying her down and started to remove his tunic kissing her again. (A:N- you all know what's happening here I'll let your imaginations wander : P)

---------------------------

Raimundo had propped himself up on one of his elbows and was watching his girlfriend sleep when the sun started to shine through the window. Kimiko began to stir and her eyelids flickered open to reveal a pair of bright sapphire blue eyes, she smiled.

"Hi" she said.

"Hey girl" Raimundo smiled back at her, "Merry Christmas"

"Merry Christmas to you too" she answered receiving a kiss.

"I'd better get going before Master Fung catches me!" he told her.

"Yeah, I know so get your butt outta my bed" she smiled giving him a little shove. He got out pulling on his trousers and tunic.

"I'll see ya later!" he told her bending down to give her another kiss and left her room. He closed the door behind him when he heard sniggering he turned around to see Omi and Clay watching him.

"You dirty snake!" Clay smiled at him.

"Oh Raimundo my friend you have deflowered our lady friend!" Omi said smiling widely at him and trying not to laugh.

"Shut up!" Raimundo smiled blushing slightly he hadn't been counting on the two of them to be up at that time of night.

"Raimundo and Kimiko up a tree doing things they shouldn't be!" the two boys sang to the Brazilian, it was amazing that they all still acted like a bunch of kids. They heard a door close and turned around to see Kimiko standing behind them hands on hips.

"What was that?" she asked raising an eyebrow at them.

"Err… nothing!" Omi and Clay quickly replied.

"Thought so!" she smiled, "Besides what goes on in Raimundo and mines relationship has nothing to do with you two, so keep your noses out!" she warned them. The cowboy and small monk nodded leaving for breakfast.

"Your wonderful!" Raimundo smiled wrapping his arms around her waist.

"So are you!" she giggled.

"I got something for you!" he smiled pulling a small box out of his pocket, "I was gonna wait till later to give it to you but… I think now's a better time!" he handed it to her. She opened the small box and gasped, inside was a beautiful silver locket shaped like a heart with a blue sapphire in the middle.

"It's beautiful!" she exclaimed.

"There's an inscription on the back!" he told her. She turned it over and read:

Kimi,

You are my world,

You are my light,

You are my every thing

And I'm willing to fight!

Love you always

Rai xoxo

Kimiko was overcome with emotion and threw her arms around him.

"I love you too Rai" she whispered he smiled. After he had fastened the locket around her neck they went off hand in hand to meet the others. They where going to be together always.

Or so they thought…
