What the Future Beholds

Kim stood their, everyone crowded behind her. She was staring up at the machine.

"Kim after all that you want to do it again?" Rai said shocked.

"Yeah but this one is different, we'll go in a year from now and we'll be able to see the future and best of all it won't randomly take us back we can choose." Kimiko said looking at them assuring them that it won't be as hectic this time.

"Okay lets go," he said stepping forward.

Clay took a deep breath and stepped forward. Omi followed on queue right after Clay.

……….1 Year Later……………

Kimiko stretched her arms out and yawned. She pressed the snooze button on her alarm. To one side of her was Rai sleeping their, with his hair flying everywhere. She got up carefully trying not to wake him. She walked into the kitchen of her apartment and grabbed the milk out of the fridge. She took a glass off the top shelf of one of her cupboards and poured herself some. Shortly after Raimundo walked in and kissed the top of her head as he walked by.

"Good morning," he said rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

She smiled at him and repeated, "Good morning."

He sat down next to her and took an article from the paper. Their was something about Brazil on the front but Kim couldn't see the whole thing for Rai had got up and started walking around with it.

"What's the matter?" she asked noticing the worried expression on his face.

"I have to go back to Brazil," he said running his fingers through his hair.

"What?" she asked walking over to him.

He shot his head back and buried his head in his hands for a second. Kimko followed him as he went into the bedroom and grabbed his suitcase from the closet.

"Kimiko I might not be back for awhile," he said frowning and looking sadly up at her.

"I want to go with you," she said looking at the paper and skimming over it.

"No Kim it's too dangerous," he said looking her in the eye.

"So what am I supposed to do wait at the apartment until you come back if you do come back?" she said, her anger showing through.

"Exactly, I don't want you to get hurt!" he shot back.

"I'm a big girl Raimundo!"

"Kim trust me on this you don't want to go with."

"Raimundo I can't wait for you to come back it would just be way to hard, which is why you have to let me come with you!"

Her cell phone went off interrupting what Rai was about to say.

"Hello?" she snapped.

"Kim is this a bad time?" her dad asked on the other line.

"No it's fine what's up," she asked.

"Well I was wondering if you could come visit for awhile I have some people I want you to meet?" he asked her.

"Yeah, what day?"

"Whenever just soon like within this week," he said.

"Sure dad how about I'll leave today and be their tomorrow."

"Yeah that's great well I have to go see you soon bye." He said and hung up.

"Kim what was that about?" Raimundo asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm needed in Japan but promise me you'll call me every chance you get," she said holding back her pain.

He stopped packing and walked over to her. He placed his hands on her shoulder then wrapped her up in a hug and said, "Of course,"

She stayed in his arms for a long time until he pulled away and went back to packing. She walked over and grabbed her suitcases. She logged on and got them both tickets for their destinations. Raimundo's plane left one hour before hers. They both cleaned the apartment a little so it would still look okay when they returned. They left for the airport. Kimiko rested her head lightly against the window and watched the traffic. When they arrived Rai wrapped her up in a hug and kissed her. His flight was called and he let go of her leaving her their feeling cold and forgotten. She walked slowly to the other side of the airport where she was going to have to get on. She took a book from her purse and read it till her plane was called. People piled into the plane and she sat down at her seat. Luckily she had brought her PDA with her. Their were some good parts of this trip. She would see Kieko and her dad. She took out her PDA and emailed Kieko that she would be arriving in awhile. A picture of Raimundo and her popped up on the screen. She rubbed her finger on his picture hoping to feel the part of her that was missing. She fell asleep because she was awoken by the noise of the driver's voice that they were landing. She walked slowly and quietly through the busy airport until she got to the luggage department. She grabbed it off and walked out to where her dad's car was.

"Hey," he said wrapping her up in a hug.

"Hi," she said.

He opened the door for her and she got in. They arrived at a big house and Kimiko went up to her old bedroom and put her suitcase on the bed.

Raimundo spent the flight looking out the window at the ocean. He arrived safely in a run down airport. He grabbed his suitcase and saw his mom. He wrapped her in a hug and then looked to the corner where all his siblings where. A smile spread across his face.

"Hey guys!" he said happily and ran over to the rest of his family.

One of them was missing, his youngest brother. He looked at his mom who had a few tear stains on her face then at his dad who had pain in his eyes but a smile on his face.

"Where is he?" Raimundo said looking around at his family.

His mom pulled him aside and whispered something in his ear. Raimundo blew up in flames and ran his fingers through his hair trying to calm down. He followed his parents to the car where they drove to the hospital.
