The Journal- not a dairy, a journal- of…

Kimiko Tohomiko was not having a good day. This morning Kimiko had a very rude awakening. Raimundo had convinced Omi that she wanted to be woken up by a bucket of ice water. On top of that, they had lost the newest shen gong wu. Better still, she could not find her makeup bag. She had looked everywhere, she had checked Raimundo's room, Omi's room, the vault, all over the grounds. Now if they had won that shen gong wu, the locating locket, she would have been able to find it.

The only place she hadn't looked was Clay's room… but she really didn't need to search there; Clay would never take her things, he was too much of a gentleman. Her conscious was telling her not too, but it was the only place left. Besides, Raimundo could have put it in Clay's room. Maybe she should ask him first. Kimiko popped her head outside to see Clay teaching Omi trick roping. She REALLY needed her makeup bag and he looked busy… she would only be there for a second.

Kimiko stepped into Clay's cubicle and began her search, she carefully replaced everything before checking the last spot on her list; under his saddle. Her makeup wasn't under there, but a book was. Curious as to why he had a book under his saddle she pulled it out, and examined it. It had not title, just a dark blue cover.

She opened it, on the first page was written "Property of Clay Bailey", one the second page was a… Dairy entry?

I recon its time to start another journal. It clears my mind and calms my thoughts, so I suppose it's a good thing.

Raimundo became leader today. No idea how he got it, I would have reckoned it would have been Omi, little guys always pushing harder than anyone else. But when Kimiko kissed his cheek I could feel my heart twitch.

Kimiko put the book down. She had only kissed Rai's cheek because she was happy for him… she hoped he wasn't mad at her… She flipped to a new page.

Kimiko re-did her hair today, I like it better when it's her normal hair, all black and shiny like. It almost turns redder than the Texas said when the light shines on it just right.

The fire dragon dropped the book and then grabbed a piece of her hair, it was blue right now. She groaned. Maybe I should change it back. She looked at the diary. She could finish reading it first. She reopened the book.

You know how last week Kimiko lost a showdown for the golden tiger claws.

Oh yes, Kimiko remember the showdown

Everyone was giving her a really hard time about it, I just can't see why. She tried her honest best but lost, it's not a huge deal. She started training super intensely, not spending time with anyone, least of all me. She's either training, doing her makeup, or spending time chasing after Raimundo for one of his stupid pranks. I guess what I'm trying to say is a miss her. I really do think-

The book was pulled from her hands. She looked up to see and angry looking Clay. "Kimiko, what in tarnation are you doing with my journal?" he asked.

"I was looking for my makeup and I thought that rai might have, that it might have been, um…" Kimiko said staring at the floor. "I'm sorry Clay"

"It's alright littl' Lady, no harm done right?"

Kimiko continued to stare at the ground. Internally she was yelling at herself, telling herself that she should just tell him. "I saw what you wrote about me" She muttered.

Clay's face paled. "Look, Kimiko…" oh she just loved how he said her name.

Kimiko went up and tip toes and put one finger on his lips. "Shh… I've been dreaming about you thinking of me that way for a long time."

I know it's short, but some ClayKim is better than none
