"So you did ballet?" He laughed at the thought of her twirling around in a pink leotard.

"Yeah, it was something my dad thought I would like," She laughed with him, it was pretty funny, in an, embarrassing childhood, kinda way. "He didn't know much about girls, but I did it anyway."

"Girl, I just can't imagine you as a ballerina," Raimundo leaned back against the blooming cherry blossom tree, hands resting behind his head.

This was something they had done for awhile, sneaking out into the temple gardens and talking about things, Showdowns, villains, or even laughing about Omi's failed attempts to use slang. Tonight they were just talking about their childhood, something they've never talked about since they came to the temple, over two years ago. These little talks have become something they both looked forward to.

"I actually hated it, but I did my best, to make my papa happy." She looked up at the star-kissed sky, it was something that she never got to look at in Tokyo. Kimiko had come to love the simpler life, not being surrounded by neon signs or living in luxury apartment buildings, just a simple life in a simple temple in the middle of China.

Her uncontrollable laughter filled the quiet air, he turned to her, furrowing his brows in puzzlement. "I remember I'd trip the other girls while they were performing, they would get so mad and end up crying to their mommies!" They broke out in loud laughter, clutching their stomachs.

"You-you didn't!" He could barely speak from laughing so hard. The two contained their laughter, only to start cackling again when they looked at each other.

"I did! Eventually I got kicked out but it was so worth it to see them face-plant the floor," She covered her mouth to keep in her giggles.

"Now that," He wiped a tear from his eye, not remembering the last time he laughed that hard. "That is definitely a Kimiko move."

These nights, yeah, these kind of nights were the best.


Eh, sorry about the weak ending, I wasn't sure how to end it, I didn't want it to become a mushy story, just a friendship story. I've always seen them as the closest Dragons out of the four, being that they have a bit more in common than Clay or Omi. Anyway review if you liked it, leave me suggestions for my next story.
