I looked from the roof to my home, the temple. Recalling the past years that me and my friends have spent here. I turn my head to see the training fields, a wide space filled with masses of training and sparring equipment. I turn my head to the right and gaze upon the small lily pond, my favourite place in the temple. I shift from my position in the roof to skid down the tiles to the ground below. Landing gracefully onto the tiled floor, hair flaring wildly, I walked to the edge of the pond and knelt down. I let my fingers trace the surface of the water, tingling against the cold. A shadow crossed over me, as I looked up I was greeted with a grin.

"Hello, Kimiko" said the shadow caster.

"oh, hi Jake" I replied. Jake had short spiky black hair and tanned skin. His eyes were a dark blue, clashing with her own light blue orbs; he was at least a head taller than her, competing with Raimundo's own height. Jake came to the temple with about 10 other students, not long after wuya's defeat. We had matured over the years so Master Fung thought it was time that we pass on our wisdom. It could be said that we weren't as optimistic as Master Fung would have hoped, after all the students would be a few years younger than them, Jake being an exception. Jake had warmed up to me pretty quickly, even though he was one of Clay's pupils, and would often talk to me or come to me when a question needed answering. Maybe that's why Raimundo doesn't like Jake; I mean he does always seem to pop out of thin air whenever Raimundo gets close to me.

"I...Uh...w-what's Up?" Jake stuttered, grinning nervously.

"That would be the sky, Jake" I joked. As soon as I finished my sentence he burst out in a fit of laughter, bent double with his hands on his knees.

"Phhhh...go-good one K-Kimiko" he said in between laughter. I looked at him, slightly confused I mean it wasn't that funny.

"Uh... Thanks, I must get it from Rai" I replied, a smile tugging at my lips at the mention of our leader. Whereas Jake seemed to tense and clench his fists, slowly he straightened and plastered a stern look on his face; his eyes seemed cold and distant.

"Yeah, he's a funny guy" his teeth clenching. I raised an eyebrow, mentally noting to ask Rai about it later.

"Umm... Okay...uh did you wanna ask me something Jake?" silently praying that he didn't.

"Actually, I was wondering if you wanted to join me for dinner later?" he asked slowly, smiling down at her.

"Huh?" I said taken off guard. Wasn't expecting that.

"I mean if you don't want to, that's fine" he said, turning to leave, hurt written all over his face.

"Wait, Jake" I said turning him back to face me," I w-would love to" I said mentally kicking myself, I didn't know if I could spend a whole evening with Jake, I can barely stop myself from kicking him to Timbuktu with all the questions he asks me. His face lights up almost instantly, his white teeth sparkling.

"Great, meet me by the Sheng Gong Wu vault in an hour" he said turning round and sprinting away.

"Wait, I can't get ready in an hour!" I shouted back, reverting back to my old spoiled self. Jake chuckled softly.

"Don't worry you'll look beautiful no matter what you wear!" He shouted over his shoulder. I blushed instantly, my cheeks burning against my ivory skin. I stood their dazed for a moment before I realized I only had an hour to get ready for my date. Wait. My...date? It's not that I didn't like Jake, it's just that he didn't make me laugh, he didn't make me want to explode when he has pulled a prank on me, he wasn't not scared to stand up to me when I'm in a fit of rage...He wasn't Raimundo Pedrosa.


I silently crept up to the roof, my legs dangling over the edge. I looked down and realized that one wrong move and I could plummet to my death. Well I would if I wasn't the dragon of wind, I thought happily, smirking to myself. I heard some movement of tiles behind me to see my fellow dragon sliding down the roof! My first instinct is to go and catch her but before I could she floated gracefully down to the ground, her long ebony locks flowing like a river behind her. I smiled at her beauty, not just her looks but also the confidence that follows her when she walked, the warmth you feel when she smiles. Wait a second Raimundo; this is Kimiko you're talking about, the spoiled pampered princess that you know she is. But...She is caring and sweet, she acts like the mother Omi never had, and she's not afraid to stick up for her friends. A smile graced my lips as I watched Kimiko kneel down to trace the water. Then, HE had to ruin it; I swear he's been going after Kimiko since the first day he came here. Jake. Phhhh...Even the name disgusts me. His stupid flimsy, spiked hair...Looks nothing like mine...It takes a lot of skill to look this good. I was interrupted in my thoughts by the most annoying thing anyone will ever hear...His laugh.

"Phhhh...go-good one K-Kimiko" he said in between laughter. I could have killed him there and then. I looked towards Kimiko, she had a confused look on her face, and i swear i could see her slowly edging away from him. I smirked, she didn't like him either. He was wasting his time anyway; I mean why would Kimiko like him? He's no match for half of the other students, and their all younger than him. Phhhh... He wasn't even good looking.

"Actually, I was wondering if you wanted to join me for dinner later?" he asked slowly, smiling down at her. He had a death wish. I gritted my teeth and gripped the tiled roof harder, making my knuckles turn white. How dare he ask Kimiko something like that, she was his teacher for God's sake. I looked towards her, seeing shock plastered on her face. Not as comforting as I hoped, but it's something.

"I mean if you don't want to, that's fine" he said, turning to leave, hurt written all over his face. That's right leave. Turn around and don't come back.

"Wait, Jake" Kimiko said desperately, turning him back to face her. Huh...Kimiko what are you doing. I leaned forward, trying desperately to keep myself on the side of the roof.

"I w-would love to" WHAT! I nearly toppled over, off the roof to the ground below, but I caught myself just in time. I stared dumbly at Kimiko, shocked by her answer. I mean she always complained about all the questions he asks her, she can't possibly have changed her mind.

"Great, meet me by the Sheng Gong Wu vault in an hour" he said turning round and sprinting away. I wanted to run after him and demand that he say what business he had with Kimiko, though I could probably guess.

"Wait, I can't get ready in an hour!" She shouted back, for a split second I saw the small girl with the blond hair that I had met four years ago. I smiled as I remembered all the different styles and she used to wear always trying to make herself look more 'beautiful'; when she always was the most beautiful girl on the planet.

"Don't worry you'll look beautiful no matter what you wear!" He shouted over his shoulder. I almost fell off the roof again. I didn't know why, but as soon as he said that, flames appeared in my eyes, and if fire was my element, Jake would be burning by now. In the moon light i could see the faint blush that crept on her face, before she sprinted off in the direction of her room. Anger bubbled up inside me, even if he was the same age as us (A.N. Maybe a few months younger), we were still his teachers and we couldn't get that personal with them. And, she couldn't. She just couldn't. I couldn't imagine Kimiko with anyone else, their lips on hers, their arms around her; it would break my heart. Raimundo my dear friend, I believe you just had an epiphany. A voice echoed in my head. I smiled to myself. I believe I did conscience, I believe I did, I said to night. I loved her and I wasn't going to let anyone else have her. Well then I believe you know what to do. Ohhh, I do. And with that I leapt off the roof, sprinting after her. After my love, Kimiko Tohomiko.
