A/N: Thank you to all my reviewers, you guys are awsome! Hooray for chapter 2!
Dojo landed in the temple courtyard, where Master Fung was waiting for them.
"My Wudai warriors, go and change into your finest clothing. You have an hour before the ceremony."
"Ceremony," Kimiko couldn't help but ask, "What ceremony?"
"You shall see, young ones. You shall see. Now hurry. This is very important."
As the monks hurried to shower and change, theyheard Dojo sob into Master Fung's sleeve.
"They're so grown up! I never thought I'd see the day!"
"Neither did I, Dojo. Neither did I."
RAIMUNDO POV
I met Kim outside her room at seven, just like I had said I would. She wanted to know what I thought of her new dress, and she knew I would give her a straight answer.
Five minutes later, she emerged wearing the most beautiful dress. It was a gorgeous firey red dress that fit her perfectly. She had curled her hair and worn it down. She looked hot!
No, I told myself. Kimiko is your best friend! You cannot fall in love with her!
Except I guess I already had. I guess I always have, ever since that first day at the temple. But it took me until now, four years later, to realize it. So I did the only thing that made sense.
"What do you think?" She asked, twirling around. "Papa just sent it to me."
I didn't pay attention to what she was saying. Instead, I picked her up and before she coul protest, kissed her on the mouth. At first she was surprised, then she surprised me by kissing back. I put her down.
"I think it's beautiful. You're beautiful. I love you. I—"
She put her finger on my lips. "Rai," she said. "Shut up and kiss me some more."
So I did.
CLAY POV
"Clay, I do not understand. Why are Raimundo and Kimiko touching each others mouths?"
"It's called love, little partner. Why don't you go look it up in your Ancient Guide to Females?"
"I shall!" he proclaimed.
"And Omi, partner, do me a favor." I whispered something in his ear.
"Why?"
"Cuz that's what you're supposed to do!" I said, trying not to laugh. At last, some revenge on Raimundo!
"If you say so!"
He walked down the corridor to where Rai and Kim were kissing. "Eww!" he exclaimed. "Get a house please!"
"Room, Omi! Get a room!" Raimundo yelled at him. "C'mon, Kim, let's go to this ceremony." He took her by the arm and led her away.
"But, that makes no sense!" Omi yelled at them. He stormed off. "I must consult my Ancient Guide to Females. Perhaps it will help me understand women, especially Kimiko."
I ran after Raimundo and Kimiko. "Rai, partner, canI talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure, Clay! Just a minute, baby." He said to Kimiko. We walked a few feet away. "What's up?"
"First, congratulations on you and Kim. I'm happy for you two."
"Thanks, Clay. What else?"
"You need to keep Kim away from Omi as much as possible. He's off consulting his Ancient Guide to Females about kissing, and you know how Kim is about that book."
He smiled. "Boy do I ever. Thanks." He went back to Kimiko to escort her to the meditation chamber. And I went to get Omi.
