A Modern Red Riding Hood

Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showndown. Just like I don't own any OTHER one of the shows I've posted stories for here. What a shocker.

Dedication: To Glitch-Girl whose profile and enthusiasm over Xiaolin Showdown and werewolves helped inspire this piece of work. But this story has no werewolves. Know from now. Oh and her fascination with Rai.

Inspired by: Glitch-Girl, Lil' Red Riding Hood by Bowling for Soup (it's a song and I don't own it), the actual riding hood story, and my creative mind. Or craziness, whichever one.

Roles

Kimiko – Modern Day Red Riding Hood

Raimundo – Modern Day Wolf

Clay - Modern Day Wood Cutter

Jack – Genius Punk teen

Omi – Apprentice at temple and later Rai's accomplice

Dojo – talking dragon and transportation

Master Fung – lecturer. And teacher, authority figure, etc

Other roles will come and I'm not explaining them.

Chapter 1: The New Girl

Kimiko Tohomiko sat in the limousine pouting.

"No use pouting Kimiko," Mr. Tohomiko said from a screen in the limo set up directly to his laptop, "you're being sent to this temple school to learn humility and discipline," he told her.

"But I am disciplined," Kimiko whined closing her blue eyes and kicking against the upholstery.

Mr. Tohomiko sighed.

"It will be good for you Kimiko," Mr. Tohomiko said and logged off.

A raven-haired Kimiko pouted. She wanted to live in luxury. Not in some dank huge temple.

What good can be at a temple anyway? Kimiko huffed.

Rai or more precisely Raimundo Pedrosa tripped the apprentice as he passed by with a bucket of water yet again. He loved seeing the bald headed kid struggle with the bucket trying to not drop any water from it and also keeping himself from losing his balance.

"Having fun?" Master Fung asked and Rai jumped.

God! Where does that guy come from, Rai thought.

"Hi Rai," several girls said as they passed the brown haired brazilian.

"Hey," Rai said flirtatiously and smiled his million-dollar smile.

Two of the girls fainted.

Master Fung sighed.

"Run around the temple," Master Fung said to Rai.

Rai sighed. He was used to this by now.

"But this carry Clay," Master Fung added.

"WHAT!" Rai shouted, "I must carry that fat lump!"

"Least I don't look like one snake," Clay Bailey snarled as he came forward.

"Wolf, snake, pig, horse manure," Rai listed to the Texan blonde, "what else are you gonna call me?"

"Shit," Clay responded.

Master Fung and several passer-bys had to hold an enraged Rai back.

"Let me at him!" Rai screamed ferociously, "you think you're so tough!" he raged, "I'm going to kill you!"

Just then several items were heard falling to the floor.

Everyone looked to see a horrified pig tailed teenager.

"Um," Master Fung said, "Welcome young lady," he said and stepped forward, "are you the new boarder?" he asked.

A fearful Kimiko nodded.

Rai had finally calmed so everyone was able to let him go.

"Don't worry," Clay spoke, "this wolf doesn't bite girls," he told her in reference to Rai.

"R…Right," Kimiko said still scared, "what's your name?" she asked.

"Clay," Clay responded, "you're the first girl to board here," he added.

"What!" Kimiko shouted, "they're no other girls…"

"You're the only girl boarding," Omi interrupted, "there are twelve other girls," he told her, "none do kung fu or anything martial arts though," he added.

"We're the only ones who take martial arts seriously," Clay said to her, "everyone else is here for classes, art and scenery."

Rai moved over to Kimiko. He was ready to work his magic. She saw him and fearfully stepped back.

"Um," Kimiko said.

"I'll take you to your room," Clay offered, "we knew a new student was coming, a new boarder."

"Sure," Kimiko said brightly and hurried over to Clay, "you can even tell me about Texas," she added.

Rai bitterly watched them walk away. No girl ever resisted his charms.

But why did he feel so bad about it?
