Hi. This is my very first fanfic here. It's all about Raimundo and Kimiko. I actually don't know where this story will go but still, please read and review. Thank you.
Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Xiaolin Showdown. If I did then I could've added this storyline to the cartoon. I do own some of the fictional characters here (in the following chapters) in case anyone's wondering.
"See You Soon"

Chapter 1
"Daddy's Letter"
--
It was a fine spring morning at the Xiaolin Temple and to the joy of the four monks, they were given the day off from training and added to that, there were no Shen Gong Wu to find.
"It was nice of Master Fung to give us the day off." Raimundo said as he stretched himself on the soft grass.
"Yup. Combined with this sub sandwich, my day's going perfect." Clay replied, taking a bite of his food.
Just then, Master Fung and Dojo entered the scene, with Master Fung holding something of what looked like an envelope.
"Kimiko, I believe this letter is for you," Master Fung handed it over as Kimiko went and took it.
"Yeah, it's mine. Thank you." She said as she stared at the white envelope. It was designed with pink cherry blossoms and smelled of sweet flowers. Daddy always knows what I like.
She carefully tore off the side and plucked out the pink paper inside. It looked pretty as it was heavily embedded with Japanese characters.
"Aw! We can't read it!" Raimundo complained.
"Why would you want to read it anyway? It's not yours" Omi asked.
Raimundo put his hand over Omi's head. "Sometimes it's fun to intrude in other people's business, cheeseball"
Omi looked at him confusingly.
"Shut up, Rai." Kimiko went to a corner and read her letter. It was from her father and if at first it looked like a letter of greeting his daughter, Mr. Tohomiko has some other news that Kimiko may not like.
Raimundo looked over at Kimiko. She had let go of the letter and continued doing her thing on her laptop. She looked kinda sad, though.
That night, Raimundo was walking back to their rooms when he passed by the meditation room where he saw Master Fung speaking with Kimiko. Curious guy that he is, he decided to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"You could find another chosen one, right?" he heard her voice. "Someone who can control fire, too"
"It is not that easy," was the reply. "Chosen ones do not sprout quickly like mushrooms. For this generation, you have been called on to hold fire."
"But, Master Fung…"
"I understand, young one."
"But what about the power of fire?"
"I am not sure yet. We cannot and will not find anyone to replace you."
"But…"
"Do not bother about it anymore." He said. "Spend your final days fully with your friends."
Raimundo saw her coming towards the sliding door. He didn't think of hiding, but decided to ask the girl what was happening.
"Yo, Kimi," he called when she got out of the room.
"How long have you been there?" she asked him.
"So, what's up?" he asked coolly.
"What's up with what?"
"What you and Master Fung had been talking about"
She rolled her eyes. "As ever, the eavesdropper."
"Uh-huh, whatever, girl. Spit it out."
"It's nothing, Rai. It's a personal thing"
"So why can Master Fung know about it and your friends can't?" he smirked at her.
"Raimundo, it's none of your business so stay out of it," she snapped at him.
"A little cold there" he said.
Kimiko rolled her eyes once more then went to her room, leaving Raimundo still in thought of what could be happening to Kimiko.

It was getting late, quarter to eleven to be exact, and by this time, Kimiko has not yet fallen to sleep and kept staring at the letter she received earlier. It was full of sentences but her eyes were fixed on a certain one that read, "You need to come home and leave the temple, maybe for good."
She sighed. "But I don't wanna leave the temple…
"And Rai…"

End of Chapter
I know. It's a very short chapter. I'm still thinking where this story should go. If some of you guys out there have any ideas, suggestions are warmly accepted. Thank you.
