It had been days since the incident .But Rai would not leave her alone! It was getting so irritating. Ever since that day Rai has been so protective over Kimiko and has hardly let her do anything.

Sure she liked it in a way because it showed he cared for her in some way, but this was ridiculous. Being a little protective was cute but the way Raimundo was doing it was not cute.

They had gone on three more Shen-Gong-Wu trips since the day and each time Raimundo had been so protective of Kimiko she couldn't do anything. And when it came to Chase Young, well they hadn't seen Chase since either. Kimiko shuddered. He was the reason the incident happened. She was a little afraid of Chase after what he did.

But back to Rai and being way too overprotective. This one time she got to a Wu the same time as Katnappe and he basically freaked when she got scratched by the demon feline. Kimiko won but still got scratched and Rai acted like an overprotective mother over an infant. It was getting on her nerves now.

Kimiko was currently sitting on the temple roof getting angrier by the minute. Why was Raimundo treating her this way? Why was she treating her like a child? She knew that what had happened was scary for everyone. She was scared, it had happened to her. But that was so long ago and she'd gotten over it. Why hadn't he?

The memory of that night came into her mind. She didn't like to think about it, but the memory replayed anyway.

~FLASHBACK~

Fighting Chase Young was a normal thing for the monks. They did it a lot nowadays. But lately it seemed that Chase was getting more dangerous. He still didn't care about Wu, he only showed up to torment the monks and keep an eye on Wuya. But this time he actually seemed to have a mission. There was a showdown between Clay, Jack and Wuya and Clay won. It seemed like it was over. It was always over when the Wu was won. Jack had left in his defeat, but Chase had other ideas.

Out of nowhere he attacked Kimiko while Wuya attacked the three guys. She was blocking their way to Chase so to get to Kimiko they would have to fight their way through. Chase had backed Kimiko up to one of the Great Lakes where they found the Wu by throwing punches and kicks at a fast pace. She was getting tired out trying to block Chase's attacks. Clay, Raimundo and Omi were successfully kicking Wuya around it being three against one, which Raimundo thought very fishy. He got out of the fight with Wuya when Omi had thrown her fifteen feet and into a rock. He ran to help Kimiko. She looked like she was ready to faint so Raimundo ran faster. Chase taking his opportunity after finally exhausting Kimiko enough tackled her right into the water.

"Kimiko!" Raimundo yelled. A few seconds passed and Chase jumped out of the water.

"Come Wuya, our plan has been successful." Chase said and he and Wuya disappeared. Clay and Omi came next to Raimundo with confused expressions on their faces. Raimundo who was waiting for Kimiko to resurface had his face contorted in worry. When she did not Raimundo jumped into the water to find her.

Kimiko was sinking. She remembers hitting the cold surface of the water. Chase had kept pushing her further down into the lake. She struggled to fight back. She was so tired and her limbs weakened. Chase had released her and left. But without being able to breathe could feel the water swallowing her whole, pulling her further down and clouding her vision. She choked out a scream in the water and reached out blindly with her hand. Another hand grabs hers in response, and she is pulled up and saved. Her lungs were already full of water. But before she collapsed she saw two emerald eyes and then it all went black.

Raimundo had found Kimiko and burst through the top of the water gasping. He brought her to the shore and saw her close her eyes and stop breathing.

"No! No, no, no, no, no. Kimiko stay with me." Raimundo said frantically. He had laid her down on the shore and tried to revive her. He shook her shoulders and hit the side of her face. She would not wake up.

"Come on Kimi don't do this. Stay with me." Raimundo said even more frantically. Clay had his hat covering his eyes as he frowned down on the scene in front of him. Omi was tearing up freely. Raimundo leaned down and placed his mouth on Kimiko's to perform CPR. He repeated this couple more times.

Life came back into Kimiko. She coughed up water from her lungs and breathed in the sweet air. Her breaths were shaky and shallow though. She began to cry because of her near death experience.

"Kimiko." Rai practically whispered. Then he held her close to let her know everything was going to be okay. She clung to him for dear life, still terrified at what just happened.

"Kimiko!" Omi screamed and knelt down to hug his friend. "You are alive! We were most worried!"

Kimiko gave Omi a one armed hug as the other still was attached to Raimundo. She smiled at his happiness. She was still crying from shock but she was happy none the less. Clay bent down and gave Kimiko a hug too.

"Whoo-we you sure scared the cowboy boots off of me." he said. "I'm more happy than my uncle on Thanksgiving that you're alright. "Quick thinking Rai."

Raimundo smiled and shook his wet bangs out of his eyes. "Well I'm the leader, I gotta think fast." he replied.

Kimiko turned her attention back to the Brazillian. "Rai you saved my life." Kimiko said. She leaned over and hugged him again. Then she kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you."

"Anytime Kim." Raimundo said quietly as a blush crept on his cheeks. He smiled softly and held her closer to him when Dojo showed up.

"Hey what happened? I felt as though Kimiko's life force was fading really fast. Are you okay?" He asked the Dragon of Fire as he took in the two soaking teenagers embracing. Omi and Kimiko were still both crying.

"Long story Dojo. She's fine now but we have to get her home." Raimundo said. "Come on everyone."

They all climbed onto Dojo and flew to the temple as the story was retold.

~END FLASHBACK~

Things had changed after that day. Chase was more dangerous. Tears brimmed Kimiko's eyes. It wasn't a pleasant memory. When Master Fung had been told the story he told us he believed that Chase Young was planning something sinister.

It had been a couple of days since then. She didn't know if Master Fung knew anything new. But she had a feeling he did.

The Japanese stared at the sunset in front of her, just admiring its beauty. She didn't want to think of anything else.

So? What do ya think? Please REVIEW! I would love it if you did.
