Chapter TWO: That Night at Dinner


"Okay my young charges, tonight is a special night. Do you know why?" They all shook their heads. "Well I can tell you that it's not a pet cow, a trip to the beach, a computer hook up or a party." They all put their head down in sadness. "Tonight is special because our guest gets to pick what we are having for dinner."

Kimiko looked up and saw Mekky smiling real big, "Let's see what do I feel I want to dinner?" she said scratching her face and pretending to think.

'As long as she doesn't want fishy fish for dinner I'm okay with whatever', Kimiko thought. It was as though Mekky read her mind, because right after she thought that Mekky said,

"Let's have fish tonight!" Dojo suddenly come out with a huge platter of sushi, fish phyla and shrimp.

"Ah yes they say fish does good for the body" Omi said getting ready to chow down.

"Does a body good, Omi" Rai replied

"Yes that to." biting into a piece of sushi

Kimiko could believe it. "Fish! I can't stand fish it's so...so ew gross!"

"Aw but Kimi, like Omi said, it's good for you. And I've also heard that its brain food too." Mekky gloated as she bit into the biggest piece of shrimp she could find.

"First of all, Nekky, it's Kimiko. And secondly if you want to put all that toxins and mercury in your body's be my guest."With that she excused herself from the table and went to her room. Later on Kimiko was sitting at her computer desk when heard a knock at her door. "Come in!" It was Raimundo.

"Hey are you okay? You ran from the table like you saw a monster!"

"Yea I'm okay, it's just I hate fish food. It smells like toilet water and it taste like...fish ew!" she made a weird face in disapproval

"Um...yea so..." sitting on her bed "What are you going to eat for dinner?"

"I'm ordering pizza over the internet, a sausage and anchovy free pizza."

"Well I see you got dinner plans already so I guess I better go then" he said opening the door.

"Wait Rai," he turned and looked at her "I could use some help eating this pizza." grinning nervously, "They had a special going on, I get a free liter of coke if I get a large." He turned back and closed to door behind him.

"Wow I have to admit that was a lot better that fishy sushi." Raimundo exhaled rubbing his stomach indicating he was full. He and Kimiko had stay in her room eating pizza and talking about their lives before they moved into the temple. It was the first time they were alone being friends like this.

"See I told you. Nothing can compare with the delightful taste of pizza." Kimiko got up and started cleaning the pizza box up.

"Ha ha you sounded like Omi, 'fish does good for the body.'"

"Speaking of Omi, what do you think of Mekky?"She asked rubbing her face.

"What does Omi have to do with Mekky?" Rai asked, he looked over at Kim, her eyes looked she need answer. She wanted him to be on her side. "Um...I think she's nice in her own special way...and is nice looking?

"Oh" putting her head and starting to walk towards the door.

"Why?" standing up and watching her

"I was...just...asking...cause well..." Kimiko was grasping the door knock to her room, she didn't want to talk about her anymore, 'He thinks she pretty. That's really no surprise…'

"What?" slowly getting close to her, even standing behind her he could tell that her head was slowly descending towards her chest. Rai grabbed her shoulder and gently turned her around to face him, he took the pizza box out of her hands and placed both of his hands on her shoulders.

"Just...to...you know...ask you a question" trying to avoid him, not him, his eyes. Those dark emerald pool would make anybody spills there guts.

"There's a reason you asked, Kim." he said almost in her face. There was only a hand full of people that was allowed to call her that, Raimundo really wasn't considered one of them, but at the moment he and his body were so close to hers she wasn't in the right mind to call him out on it.

"Well Omi and Clay were interested so I want-"

"Wanted to know if I liked her too" he finished; he arrested her chin in his finger and leveled up to his body and then his face. Trying to avoid eye contact, but looking up in his eyes anyway

'Rai is really close, is he? He is, he's...he's going to kiss me!' Indeed he was getting closer, Raimundo managed to use his right hand to travel down from Kimiko's shoulders to her arms to holding her hand.

"Hey ya'll lights out in 20!" it was Clay who knocked on the door as he went past. The moment was gone 'damn that Clay, just wait 'til tomorrow!' he thought and then let go of Kimiko's hand and shoulder and started for the door. He stopped at the door frame.

"Well hey thanks for dinner." he said grabbing the empty pizza box. "Don't worry, she ain't that cute!"

"No problem, anytime. Thanks Rai…"

With that he shot her a cute smile and left, and she was alone in her room to gather her thoughts, 'Oh my gosh that was intense! Raimundo almost kissed me! I can't believe it wow!' She grabbed her pillow and jumped on her bed and laid there giggling.

Raimundo's P.O.V

So close...SO FRECKIN CLOSE. Just wait till I see Clay tomorrow I'm going to...DAMN HIM! He headed for the outside to throw the pizza box away.
