So, welcome to the first one-shot in my collection of RaiKim stories!
Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown. Or Xiaolin Chronicles. (This is best visualized as Chronicles)
Another thing, this was inspired by one of my most favorite fanfictions ever, 'Attention,' (which is also a RaiKim) by CommonKnowledge

Title: Look at the Clouds
Basic Summary: Our favorite wind and fire warriors share a sweet moment under the clouds.

Kimiko felt the soft plush of the flower's petal touch against the tip of her finger. The sun decorated the field she sat in with beautiful golden rays, as well as a dash of shade here and there.
It was a beautiful day. And it would be appropriate for her to say that she hadn't seen a day like this in a very long time.
She felt the breeze make her hair sway gently, and tickle her skin. Wind was one of the four elements that she had taken quite a liking to, besides her own of course. There was just a distinct factor that made her feel so...
Calm.
As the Shoku warrior plucked the petals off of the flower she held in her hand, she felt the breeze pick up vaguely. It didn't take her long to figure out who had arrived.
"It's a pretty day, huh?" She heard a low, appealing voice ask. A smile played at her lips as she casted a glance behind her. A familiar Brazilian Shoku warrior leaned on the large tree that sat atop the hill. Even after all those years, he wore his signature green sweater and tan pants. Kimiko had always told him that the style was 'outdated' or 'unattractive.' Raimundo of course would always respond with one of his signature remarks, followed by a kiss on the cheek.
It frustrated her as much as it turned her on. She would never admit it out loud-
But he didn't look half bad in them.
"I would believe so." She replied, watching her boyfriend walk up to where she was situated, before taking a seat beside her. She greeted him with a slight peck on the cheek, before returning her gaze back to the open field that resided below them. "I believe there hasn't been a day this beautiful or relaxing for years." Raimundo clarified before deeply inhaling the fresh air.
Kimiko giggled. "You're right." She conceded. Raimundo adjusted himself so he lay on his side, while propping himself up on his one elbow. His head rested on his hand, as he gave his infamous, 'cock an eyebrow' look to Kimiko.
"When am I ever wrong?" he asked with a wry smile. The ebony haired girl rolled her eyes. "Try 90% of the time." She replied. She couldn't hide the playfulness that tainted her words.
Raimundo only gave her a grin. He readjusted himself so that he was laying flat on his back, before putting his hands behind his head in a relaxing manner. It only took him a few seconds to realize the fire dragon hadn't mimicked his actions, causing him to turn to her.
"What?" Kimiko questioned, looking back at Raimundo. The Brazilian pat the spot next to where he lay. "Look at the clouds." was his only reply, before returning to his original position.
The young adult briefly hesitated before complying to Raimundo's request. She lay herself on her side. The grass tickled her neck, but it didn't bother her, due to Raimundo's arm wrapping around it gently, pulling her close to him.
"Wow.." Kimiko breathed as she and Raimundo stared at clouds pass by slowly, yet steadily. Even with all of the trips they had made in the past, she had never been able to witness something as breath taking as this. Her eyes had always been glued to a scroll, or looking out of a telescope, searching the area for any Shen Gong Wu.
"Pretty cool, huh?" Raimundo asked. Kimiko only nodded, mesmerized by the graceful movement of the clouds. Not a few minutes later, Raimundo's arm extended, and he was pointing a finger towards the sky.
"Look at that one over there. Look like someone we know?" He asked with a snicker. Kimiko glanced at the strangely large circled cloud which obviously resembled to Omi, before letting out a short laugh. She brought a hand up to her mouth. "That's not nice." she chided.
"You laughed." Raimundo argued, but had a grin plastered onto his face. Kimiko only responded by punching his side, which suddenly caused him to jolt sideways.
"Aye, girl!" he ranted, sitting up by reflex. "You hit hard!" The Japanese girl once again let out a laugh, before sitting up beside her boyfriend who rubbed his side delicately.
Silence erupted between the two as Raimundo's side rubbing had subsided. He glanced at Kimiko, who silently played with the grass. "Kim?" he finally said, after a moment of hesitation.
Kimiko responded almost instantly to his call, directing her attention to Raimundo and completely forgetting about the grass. "Yes?"
"Close your eyes." Raimundo instructed. Kimiko's nose crinkled as her eyes filled with confusion. Raimundo spoke up before she could question him. "Just trust me." The gentle smile he held made it hard not to comply.
He had a strange calmness to him that she definitely wasn't used to. He was usually unpredictable, but she honestly had no idea as to where this was leading to.
As soon as Raimundo confirmed she wasn't able to see anything going on in front of her, his arm was once again extended towards the sky, where he had started to work on his little surprise.
Kimiko had always considered herself as extremely curious. She couldn't help but question what she didn't know, and what was happening now was no exception. Her curiosity had grown when the wind had picked up, telling her Raimundo was doing something.
Moments had passed, and the extra breeze finally disappeared. There was a momentarily long pause before she heard Raimundo speak in a sheepish voice, "You can open them now."
As her eyelids lifted slowly, she felt something go around her neck. Sort of like a necklace. Before Kimiko could take a look, Raimundo stopped her. Without saying a word, he only pointed up at the sky.
The fire Dragon looked up, not exactly following what was happening here. Her crystal blue eyes met with the sky. She once again watched the clouds drift by, but there was something else. It was slightly difficult to read, but she did manage.
Written in clouds, were the words,
'Will You Marry Me?'
Kimiko's eyes went wide. Her cherry pink lips formed an 'o' as she glanced back at Raimundo, who was turned the other way. A slight pink invaded his cheeks, but he still didn't say anything. Once again, Raimundo pointed downwards, towards Kimiko's chest.
She glanced downward, and finally saw what Raimundo had put on her. It was a necklace chain with a small, silver ring hanging from it. There wasn't much on it, except for a small, beautiful diamond that were almost as clear as her eyes.
Kimiko only stared at it, making Raimundo turn to her. "Kim...?" he asked nervously. Fear started to seep into him slowly. Had she rejected him?
Raimundo decided to try again. "Kimi-"
Before he could finish, Kimiko threw herself onto him, wrapping her arms around his neck. Raimundo, who hadn't been ready for the sudden action, got knocked over onto the grass. He landed on his back with Kimiko on top of him.
The Brazilian looked at her with a smile on his face. The fear was starting to slowly slip away as his viridescent eyes met her azure blue ones. Her eyes glistened with tears but they relfected joy instead of sadness. "So I take it its a yes?" Raimundo asked, obviously knowing the answer.
Kimiko nodded. "A thousand times yes." she half laughed, half squealed. Raimundo grinned once again as he pulled her down into a kiss.
