Kim POV

What is the freaking deal with guys?! Really! What is their deal! Why do they have to be SO funny and SO cute, and yet smell so totally AWESOME!? Now here I am, sitting at the breakfast table, wolfing down a bowl of strawberries and bananas, and in walks Rai, looking SO hot!! I mean seriously, you should of seen him, he was wearing his new robes, and his eyes were sparkling, and his hair was blowing from the breeze blowing through the…oh, dang, I'm drooling AGAIN!!

Anyway, Rai sat next to me, because Clay and Omi were fixing breakfast for a change (bacon, eggs and pancakes, but I'm not going to eat that, because do you know how many freaking carbs are in a breakfast like that?) and I'm trying not to salivate over him or anything because he smells AMAZING and he goes, "Hey Kim, I like your nails". And I just did them last night in a French manicure by the way. I've never done them like that before. And I'm guessing you know what happens next.

I BLUSHED!!

Me, Kimiko Tohomiko, blushing, in front of possibly one of the hottest and most cocky guys EVER to walk the planet Earth. At least I didn't burst out giggling, that would have been awful…oh, wait… I DID!!

That just made it a whole lot worse, let me tell you.

So now, I'm sitting here in my room (or cubbies and Rai and I call them) and I'm venting to my best friend, Keiko, over my cell phone.

"I can't take it anymore!!" I nearly shouted into the mouthpiece. "Do you know how hard this is!? Having a bf in another country while you're sitting here, with a totally hot guy living in the same house as you, and actually TALKING to you?!"

"Well, Kim" Keiko replied. "I personally wouldn't know, because I'M NOT THERE!!" Oops, I'd made her mad. "Sorry, Keiko" I grumbled, infuriated at myself. "It's okay" Keiko responded. "Why don't you just break up with your bf then?" "I want to! Will you do it for me?" Keiko sighed. If I knew her, she was brushing her long black hair out of her eyes: Her way of showing that she would rather do anything else.

"Sure Kim" she said. "But I can't believe that you're dumping one of THE HOTTEST guys in all of Tokyo, just so you can go out with Raimundo." "Yeah, I know" I responded to her, sighing inwardly. "You think I'm crazy, don't you?" "I think that you're as crazy as I am for doing this for you" Keiko mumbled. "What was that?" I asked, even though I'd heard her quite clearly.

"Nothing, but I need to go now" Keiko said hurriedly. She clearly wanted to go on her laptop, so that she could IM her boyfriend. I rolled my eyes. "Fine, go IM him" I said. "Yay!" Keiko squealed. "Love you like a sis, Kimiko!" "Back at you, Keiko." And then we hung up.

I flopped down on my mat, my head landing on my pillow. "God, this sucks" I muttered. Yes, it did suck. Because, as Keiko said, I was dumping THE HOTTEST guy in Tokyo, possibly Japan, just so that I could go out with Rai. I must be crazy. But then again, his green eyes were so warm and inviting, and he was so hot...oh no, here comes the waterfall. I sighed.

You looooooooooooooooove him, a sing song voice said in my head.

No I don't, I responded to it.

Yes you do.

Fine, I do. I LOVE RAIMUNDO PEDROSO AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO TELL HIM!! You happy now?

Um, sure. Sure you're not afraid to tell him.

I'm not!

Then prove it.

I remained silent.

Ha, the voice taunted.

Temporary 3rd Person

Rai had heard everything that Kimiko has said in her conversation with Keiko. He even heard Keiko's end, Kimiko's cell phone volume was turned up so loud. Rai felt the incredible blush heat his cheeks, and wished he'd stop. He should be happy. Kimiko Tohomiko, one of the prettiest girl he'd ever known LIKED him, and wanted to ask him out. Even though he wouldn't admit it, he liked her too. No. More than liked. Loved. He'd never loved anyone before, besides his family. And he wouldn't admit it to himself. He and Kim couldn't be together. A rich, pretty, popular girl like Kim couldn't be with a freaking circus star. One word came into his mind: Titanic.

Rai rolled his eyes, and walked across the temple.

KIM POV

"Hey, Kim!" Rai called to me from across the temple. He has the loudest voice, I swear. "Yeah!?" I screamed my voice hurting with how high I shouted. "Come here!" Rai shouted back. "Why?!" I yelled. "New wu!" Rai responded.

I jumped up, running out of the bedroom quarters and outside into the temple garden. Rai was waving at me from the scroll room. I ran to him, not even noticing that I'd tripped until I saw my ripped tights and the blood trickling from the scrape in my knee.

Rai was at my side in about two seconds flat and helped me up. "You alright?" he asked. Oh God. I got lost in his eyes…AGAIN!! "Y-yeah" I stammered, trying to stop the incredible heat that was rising in my face. "I'm fine." We looked at each other for a few minutes, his green eyes locked onto my blue ones. The heat in my face didn't stop.

I cleared my throat.

"The wu…" I started.

"Yeah" Rai dazedly, as though he was in a trance. "The wu…"

I smiled, rolling my eyes, and I took his hand, leading him gently toward the scroll room.

Right now, the stinging pain in my knee didn't hurt so much.

Rai and I entered the vault to find everyone waiting for us. I hurriedly let go of Rai's hand, even though Rai was still spacing out. "What's up w'th Rai?" Clay asked. I shrugged. "God knows" I responded. Clay shrugged too, and we all turned to Dojo. "What's the wu?" Rai asked, shaking his head and coming out of his daze.

"The Dollar Bill" Dojo said. He opened up the ancient scroll, revealing a wu that looked like and American dollar bill. "It will give instant wealth to anyone who uses it." "Sweet" Rai muttered, an evil grin breaking out on his face. "Don't even think about it" Dojo said, pointing to the animation that was happening on the scroll. "There's a terrible consequence." "What?" Rai asked the tiniest bit of fear in his voice. "You turn into an evil dragon. Like Chase Young." Rai gulped. "Being freaking rich isn't that great…" he murmured.

"Well, let's go sack this wu!" Omi shouted, punching the air. "Bag" Clay corrected. "Bag" Omi muttered, looking crestfallen.

A few minutes later, we were sailing through the air on Dojo, flying over Chicago, Illinois. "Where in the Breezy City is this Shen Gon Wu?" Omi asked. "That's Windy City" I said. "It's…" Dojo sniffed. "It's…" He sniffed again. All of a sudden, he went into a steep dive. "Right there!"

Floating through the air was a dollar bill.

Dojo reached out to grab it, but a flash of black beat him to it. "Tough luck losers!" a voice said from above us. I rolled my eyes. God, not him again. "Jack Spicer" Omi spat, standing up, keeping his balance even as Dojo pulled out of the dive.

"That's my name, don't wear it out!" Jack taunted. "Shut up Jack!" I shouted, jumping to my feet. "You shut up, Kimiko!" Jack retorted. "You both shut up!" another voice from behind us. DANGIT!!

Wuya.

AND Chase Young.

Chase lunged at Jack, morphing into the big lizard/dragon thing that he turns into. Jack gave a girly scream, released the Dollar Bill, and jumped into the air, dodging Chase. In about three seconds, Omi was back on Dojo with the Dollar Bill in his hand.

"Got it!" he shouted triumphantly.

This time, Wuya and Chase both lunged at us. Omi yelped, sliding off of Dojo. Rai jumped into action, shouting "Attack!"

Rai landed on Chase, while Clay went after Wuya. I jumped off Dojo, catching up to Omi and grabbing the back of his shirt. Dojo swooped below us, causing us to land on his back. Suddenly, Jack came out of nowhere, swooping down onto us. He snatched the Dollar Bill out of Omi's hands. Rai also came out of nowhere, landing on Dojo's head and grabbing the Dollar Bill while Jack was still holding it.

"Jack Spicer, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown" Rai stated. The Dollar Bill glowed in a green illumination. "My Moonstone Locust against your Monkey Staff". "The game is…" Jack looked around for an option of a showdown. "Wind surfing. The first to reach the finish line wins. Let's go!" The he and Rai both shouted at the same time "Xiaolin Showdown!"

You know what? I want to give you guys a preview of what's coming in the next chapter. It MIGHT take me a while to write. So, here's a preview, with A LOT of RaiKimness...:)

SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR THE FIC AHEAD!!

(Rai POV)

I raced outside, into the garden. I had to be sure that Kimiko was still okay. She wasn't in the garden, or in the bed chambers. Where was she?! The tree! Possibly by the tree behind the temple! She always went there to think, whenever she couldn't sleep.

Sure enough, she was there, wrapped in a red silk robe with pink bunny slippers peeking out from under it. I came up behind her, and stood at her side, relief making me grow weak. My heart was swelling with happiness just by seeing her, and it felt ready to burst when she spoke my name. "Rai?!" she cried in surprise. "What are you doing here?" "I couldn't sleep" I responded shortly. I didn't want her to know of the threat that I'd dreamed of, especially since it involved her. I swallowed. Her scent was wafting over to me through the breeze. She smelt like flowers.

We stood there for a few moments, just looking in front of us, at the moon. Suddenly, Kim shattered the silence. "I broke up with him" she said quietly, lowering her eyes to the ground. "Your boyfriend?" I asked, acting as though I were surprised. Of course, I knew. Kimiko nodded. "Why?" I asked gently, not wanting to make Kim uncomfortable. Kim shrugged. "I have my reasons. I like someone else." I swallowed, feeling a completely unexpected rush of adrenaline go down my back. "Oh yeah?" I asked casually. "You want to tell me who?"

"Well" Kim said, thoughtfully, turning to face me. "He's about your height. With green eyes, and shaggy brown hair. He's the Dragon of Wind and is the leader of the Xiaolin Monks." Her eyes locked onto mine. "He sound familiar?" My heart was thumping inside my chest, threatening to explode, and as she said the last sentence, my heart melted into a puddle. "Yeah" I responded, ignoring the feeling in my stomach that made me feel as though I were about to throw up. "Just a little."

And I leaned down, briefly looking into her blue eyes, and kissed her.


SQUEE!! Oh my gosh, I started shaking when I was typing this! xD Hope you all enjoyed that. It'll be in the next chapter. :) Please review, hope you like the fic!
