This is it. The sequel to that story which I still have no title for. This will be a multi-chapter story.
Kimiko stood outside the temple. It was nearly midnight. Raimundo's death played over and over in her mind. Tears were streaming down her face,
I don't deserve life. Raimundo should be here. Not me.
She was mad at everyone. Mad at Jack for kidnapping her. Mad at Wuya for firing the laser. Mad at herself for being so weak.
Why not be mad at Raimundo for saving you?
She couldn't go on living. Not without Raimundo. She raised the Star Hanabi. It would kill her quickly and painlessly.
So you have forgotten why Raimundo died.
He had saved Kimiko by sacrificing his life. Would she make Raimundo's death pointless just because of her own weaknesses.
"Kimiko?"
"So you've come to tell me to get over it?"
"No. I came to say that I know how you feel. No one should tell you to get over it."
"Then how come everyone does? Don't they know what it's like to lose someone you care about?"
"This is how they deal with it. When my mom died my dad tried to cover up that he was sad. That's what he wanted me to do. I felt a lot of pressure. I wanted to tell someone, but I lived on a ranch and their was no one to talk to."
"But I miss Raimundo a whole lot. It just seems like no one cares!"
"We care. You're not the only one. We were his friends too. You will never really get over it. You need to hold on to the good memories. The happy things that you remember about Raimundo."
"Thanks Clay. I guess you're right." She walked back to her room. She tried to avoid looking in Raimundo's room, but it was impossible in such a small area. She tossed and turned but finally fell asleep.
"I just wish I could do something for her! She doesn't even know that I'm there!"
"There's nothing you can do. You have to wait. She will learn what she has to do. Just be passive and wait until she figures it out. For now you should watch and see what you learn."
"Yes. I will. But it's hard to be passive. I know something will happen to her but I can't even tell if it is good or bad. Good bye."
Kimiko selected a simple black dress for Raimundo's funeral. She just wanted to be there, and not draw attention to herself. They got on Dojo silently and he took them to Brazil. Raimundo's family was there. His 12 year old sister, Mia, was trying hard not to cry. She wasn't doing a good job.
The funeral was simple. It was some of Raimundo's friends and family telling about the things they remembered. She was glad that Rai had a proper funeral. Listening to the stories people told made her want to laugh and cry at the same time. Mia was crying hard and Clay walked over to comfort her.
"Hello Kimiko." said Jack Spicer. "I'm really sorry about everything. This was my fault."
"Stop beating yourself up." said Ashley, also known as Katnappe. "It was Wuya's fault, not yours."
"Time to go kids. I think I feel something. Not a Shen Gong Wu. The new Dragon of Wind."
That's Chapter one. Sorry it's short. Future chapers will be longer. I'm going to be very cruel to Kimiko in this story. There will also be less muse conversations.
