The story starts off from when Jermaine shows up at the temple in the episode Something Jermaine. If I'm not mistaken, I think this is the first Jermaine/Kimiko fanfiction to be put on here. Enjoy!
Jermaine paid a surprise visit to the Xiaolin temple. He decided to take on the offer made by Omi to come and train with him when they first met in New York City. However, before coming to the temple, Jermaine had been receiving special training from Chase Young, who he didn't know was evil at the time. In no time, Jermaine had reached Wudai level. After telling about his current status to the monks, Omi had become incredibly jealous, which was easy for everyone to notice.
Kimiko, wanting to ease the tension, said, "Let me show you around." The girl smiled, holding her arm out to Jermaine.
"Sure, I've always wanted to check out Omi's crib," Jermaine replied, allowing Kimiko to hold his arm as they left the others. "You guys sure got a nice place," he said as he glanced at his surroundings.
"It's pretty nice, isn't it?"
"Yeah. Hey, uh, Kimiko, right?"
"Yes?"
"What was with Omi back there? He didn't seem too happy to see me."
"I'm sure Omi was glad to see you. I guess he just didn't want to show it."
"I dunno. I mean, I thought we were tight and all, but the way he was actin' back there made it seem like he was hatin' on me or somethin'."
"Maybe he's not feeling good? Hey, I know something that will cheer you up. Wanna check out the training grounds?"
"Sure."
As they were walking toward the training grounds, Jermaine kept glancing at Kimiko.
Cute girl.
Upon arrival, Kimiko released Jermaine's arm from her grasp and stood before him with her hands on her hips. "Well, this is where you'll be training with us. I'm not sure if it's as big as what your trainer had, but this should be suitable enough, right?"
"Yeah, it's cool."
"Great! Wanna see a few moves?"
"Oh yeah," Jermaine smirked. "Let's see what you got, girl!"
Kimiko approached one of the obstacle courses. After a few seconds, she began the course. Jermaine was impressed by how swift Kimiko was, and how she had the ability to dodge everything that came at her with ease. Near the end of the course, three dummies were raised from the ground.
"Star Hanabi, Fire!"
Using her Wu, Kimiko roasted all three dummies, each turning completely into ashes. She flipped in the air and landed in front of Jermaine with a wide smirk on her face.
Clapping his hands, Jermaine shouted, "Wow, girl, you got some moves!"
"It took me how long just to be able to get that right."
"Either way, you were awesome!"
"Thanks!"
"So, where else can we go?"
"Well, there's the garden area. We could sit there and chat, if you want."
"'Ight, sounds good."
The two sat beneath a tree, leaning back and gazing at the clouds as they rolled by in the sky.
"So Jermaine, what made you want to come to the temple?"
"Well, the city life was startin' to get boring for me. I started missin' you guys, so I thought I should give this whole fightin' against evil thing a shot. Besides, I wanna learn more on how to fight to protect my mom and sister."
"You never told us much on your family," Kimiko said, scooting closer.
"It's kind of a long ,depressing story. Let's just say that my dad's no longer around, so the only guys around to protect the family are me and my uncle."
"I-I'm so sorry."
"Nah, it's fine. My dad was just doin' what he did best. He was an officer when...it happened."
Kimiko bit her lip as she rested a hand on his shoulder. "I lost a parent too. My mom passed away when I was three."
"Oh man. I-I'm sorry."
"I-It's fine. Y-You said you...have a sister?"
"Naomi." Jermaine grinned. "Just turned a year old. Man, she's somethin'. She's full of energy, and wants nothing more but to play."
"She sounds adorable," Kimiko cooed.
"She is. I love her to pieces. It was hard leaving her, because she's really attached to me, but at least she has my mom to keep her company."
"It's sweet of you to come here just so you can learn to protect her, and your mom. We'll do all we can to help."
"Thanks, Kimiko," Jermaine said, resting a hand on her shoulder. "It really means a lot. I really missed you guys."
"We missed you too, especially Omi."
Jermaine sighed. "Yeah, the lil' dude's pretty fun to be around. Though, he wasn't like that earlier."
"I'm sorry," Kimiko said as she gave him a sympathetic glance. "I'm sure whatever his problem is, he'll get over it sooner or later."
"I hope you're right. Omi's really the only friend I got. Oh, and you guys too, of course."
"Well, if you ever need a friend besides Omi, you could always come to me."
Jermaine chuckled. "You this nice to everyone, or am I just lucky?"
"I guess you're just lucky. Half the time, I'm always yelling at the boys, but mostly because they start with me."
"I don't see why they'd wanna start anything with you. You seem pretty chill."
"You think so? A lot of people tell me I'm hot headed."
"You don't seem it to me. You just seem like one cool, chillaxed girl."
"Are you always this nice to everyone, or am I just lucky?" Kimiko asked, smirking playfully.
"I guess you're just lucky."
Without a second thought, Kimiko clutched Jermaine's shirt collar and pulled him into a kiss. The kiss surprised Jermaine. He sat, eyes open wide, his cheeks glowing dark red.
When parting from their kiss, Kimiko faced away from Jermaine, nervously twisting the end of one of her pigtails. "I-I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. No one's ever told me I was chill before. They always told me I was temperamental."
Grabbing her shoulders, Jermaine gently turned Kimiko toward him. "Hey, it's alright. No girl's ever given me a chance before, so I guess I'm kinda feelin' the way you are right now."
"Maybe we should keep this between us for now. We wouldn't want the guys suspecting anything on your first day here."
"I guess you got a point."
"We'd better get back to the others." Kimiko sighed. "They're probably looking for us."
"'Ight, but first, can I have one more kiss?" Jermaine asked shyly.
"Sure thing."
Standing on her tippy toes, Kimiko placed her hands on Jermaine's shoulders and kissed his lips softly. Jermaine rested his hands on Kimiko's hips and leaned closer to her, deepening the kiss. He let a moan escaped his lips just before they parted from Kimiko's. The two stood gazing at each other for a moment or two before they ventured back to where they left the others.
As the pair arrived, Raimundo said, "Where were you two? Hopefully not making out in the temple."
Kimiko punched Raimundo's arm. "I was just showin' him around, so calm your jets."
"But Raimundo doesn't have any jets," Omi stated.
"She meant that he needs to calm himself, lil' partner," Clay explained, rubbing Omi's round head. "Lunch should be ready in a few minutes, y'all. Let's hosey on inside."
As the monks made their way inside the temple, Jermaine stopped Kimiko from entering. "I just wanted to say thanks."
"For what?"
"For givin' me a chance and all. Like I said before, no girl's ever given me a chance to be in a relationship, and thanks for listening to me. I haven't really told anyone about my personal life."
"Well, I'd like to get to know you better," Kimiko said, smiling sweetly.
"Same here."
