Me: Hello children of… uh… whoever your parents are! I'm BACK! And, due to popular demand, I'm continuing the story of Chasing The Wind!

XS Ppl: *cheer*

PJatO/PA Ppl: Why are we here again?

Me: *shrugs* I like having others here for moral support. Anyway… First, I'd like to apologize to all of you who have wanted me to continue Decisions, and The Lightning Thief. I've been trying SOOO hard to get them updated, but, FFN won't let me update them through the site! Second, I'm gonna shut up so that you guys can all get to reading my long-awaited sequel!

RAI'S P.O.V.

A chill went down his spine. His heart rate increased hauntingly to ten-fold. He felt his dark chocolate-brown hair stand on end, and there was fear in his jade-green eyes. He let out a fearful yip, not unlike that of a small Chihuahua, and his tan skin paled as he replied, "No."

"Raimundo, please…"

The young Shoku Warrior shook his head defiantly. "No. Absolutely not."

"Rai—" The petite Japanese girl with her aquamarine-blue eyes was once again cut off.

"No, Kimiko! Look, I have my reasons, okay? It has nothing to do with you, I swear…" Raimundo attempted to talk in a kind tone, so as to maybe, hopefully, keep Kimiko from asking again.

Her eyes started to fill with tears. Those big, blue, beautiful…

He stopped. Was she doing this on purpose? Yes. Was it catching Raimundo between a rock and a hard place? Definitely. Did he hate seeing her like this, especially considering the fact that her big blue eyes were irresistible? Absolutely. Had she asked him for anything else that could ever amount to this? No. Was he going to cave and give in to the request of the girl that he's liked since day one and finally had the guts to ask her out a month ago, just to keep himself from having to look at the puppy-dog face for the NEXT month? You betcha.

Raimundo sighed. "Okay, okay! You win! Just stop it with the face! You KNOW that I can't say no to that face!" He complained, feeling relief wash over him as a smile spread across his girlfriend's face.

"Really?" Kimiko asked.

Raimundo once again sighed. I know that most of you are wondering what she's trying to get him to do. No, it's not joining a stupid club with her, and no, she's not trying to seduce him. It was:

"Yes. I'll take you to Brazil tomorrow to meet my family."

Kimiko once again smiled and gave Raimundo a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thanks, Rai. And, I'm sure that It'll be fine," she said, walking back to her own cubicle.

Raimundo sighed and began to pack. 'Mortification Station, now boarding.'

And with that pleasant thought, the young Dragon of the Wind placed his teddy bear- I mean good luck charm, Ninja Fred, into his suitcase, bracing himself for the moment of truth that his family induced humiliation will bring from Kimiko: Stay or Leave.

YAY! And, sorry for the short chappie, but, I'm working as I go. Besides, I'm busy with other stuff, like, my drawing of Nico for chuckleberry, my Percabeth fic, my Mider fic, fixing my problems with Decisions, and The Lightning Thief, and writing chapter two of my book, so, cut me some slack. NO FLAMES UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO BE PART OF YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM! Anyway, please be kind with your reviews, and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome with open arms!
