Okay, Chapter 2 is up! Ok, so to all of you reading this thank-you and before I start this chapter I am gonna have Rai here do what I didn't do last chapter.

Rai: Huh? Oh, Right. Starfirewinx doesn't own Xiaolin Showdown and is not responsible for any injuries or deaths during the making of these and future chapters.

starfirewinx: Yay! Okay, on with Chapter 2!

Rai: And it's all in my POV! I rule!

I kept quit behind the wall, peeking towards her one last time before she went into her cubicle. Kimiko had gone to bed, now all I had to do was wait for her to go to sleep. Clay and Omi had hit the sack early so I was home-free to mess with Kimi all I wanted to.

I crept closer to the curtain that seperated her room from the hall and listened in. I could hear soft steady breathing and a small hint of a snore. Good. That meant she was asleep.

I crept into her room and stood by the edge of her mat. She was sleeping peacefully against her pillow. She looked cute that way.

I pulled out of my pockets the first wu I needed, the changing chopsticks. Sure I didn't really need 'em, but i figured there would be a less chance of her waking if I was too small for her to hear. In a second, I turned to the size of a grain of rice, standing next to her now, humungous head. Now was my chance.

"Shadow of Fear!" I shouted after I pulled out the key instrument to my investigation.

I was turned into small black particles and ran straight through Kimi's ear.

I was landed naturally on what looked to be a wooden floor. Where the heck was I? Lookin around, I noticed this place was pretty big, filled with expensive furniture and decorations. I was snapped out of my daze when I heard the laughter of children.

I looked over to see about 7 japanese kids. They all looked about diferent ages except 2 of them. The two girls who looked about the same age both had raven coloured hair and were both very petite. The only real differences were thier eyes and hair. One's eyes were muddy brown, the other's were cool aqua blue. The one with brown eyes' hair was layed down naturally and the girl with blue eyes had her hair up in two pigtails.

"Kimiko!" shouted a boy from across the room, "Hurry up and open your presents! I want cake which we cant have if you dont open your presents first!", the boy screamed at her.

"I'm coming, Aito!" shouted the girl with pigtails.

It couldn't be. Could it? Was it really...Kimiko?

The little girl skipped over to the boy, clearly much older than her, and wagged a finger at him.

"No need to get touchy Aito. It's my birthday afterall." she said, her friend with the brown eyes nodded her head in agreement.

The boy...Aito...rolled his eyes.

"Your birthday cant last forever." he said, "Sooner or later it'll be over and nobody will care about you anymore."

My hand folded into a fist. I knew it was just her memory, but I hated the idea of anybody picking on Kimiko.

"Not everybody doesn't like me. I know Keiko likes me." She said while pointing to the little girl behind her.

'So thats who Keiko is.', I thought.

"You just keep telling yourself that, dweeb." said the boy. before walking away.

Kimiko...well...young Kimiko narrowed her eyes. I could tell she didn't like that guy, and even though I didn't know him, I hated him too, just for picking on my Kimi. Wait. did I jut say MY Kimi?

Ughhhh. I was falling in love with a memory of a little girl for a second.

Kimiko looked over at Keiko, before asking, "You do like me...right?"

Keiko smiled and shook her head yes.

As much as the REAL Kimiko talked to the real Keiko, you'd think that Keiko wasn't this quiet as a kid. Now days, she seemed like a blabbermouth.

Kimiko smiled at this, which made me smile too. The thought of Kimi being happy in her child-life comforted me.

I looked just in time to see two of the playing children run closer to me, giving me time to duck behind a table of decorations I couldn't read. I couldn't read Japanese.

'That was close.' I thought. If Kimi saw me in her dream, she'd probably wake up and give me hell eveyday for the rest of my life. Then I remebered another helping tool I had brought with me. I pulled the grey and black sheet around me and said,

"Shroud of shadows.", which turned me invisible. Now I could See Kimi without Kimi seeing me.

It seemed like forever until something interesting actually happened.

"Kimiko, why dont you open your presents?", asked a woman standing next to what looked to be Kimiko's father. She was taller than Kimi's dad by a half a head, with soft blue crystal eyes and raven black hair that went all the way to her waist.

Little Kimiko nodde her head yes before she walked towards a group of presents.

She started with a white wrapped box, and opened it to reveal about 10 video games. Kimiko immediately glared at her dad saying,

"Can't you ever buy me something I can use? You know, like something to wear! I don't have much clothes ya know!"

"I thought I'd just get you something you'd enjoy better than clothes.", said Kimiko's dad, obviously not knowing what Kimiko liked.

The of presents went down quickly untill 1 large LARGE box remained. Wrapped in pink and white dotted wrapping paper with red ribbon, was th biggest box that had been on the table.

"Who got me this?" asked Kimiko.

The tall woman with black hair spoke up.

"I did Kimiko. I found it in my office yesterday. It wa supposed to be evidence of a murder case, but when I found it, I figured my boss found it meant nothing to the assignment."

Kimi suddenly looked interested in what would be in the box. Tearing it to shreds, she soon pulled out a 14 inch doll with red hair in pigtails and a pink lace-cut dress with white laced gloves and black church shoes.

Kimiko smiled at the doll.

"Press her hand." said the woman.

"Okay mom!" said kimiko to her. So thats who this lady was. I was surprized my kimi never told any of us about her.

When Kim pressed the dolls hand, it said,

"Can I have a hug?" In a sweet voice.

Kimiko immediately hugged the doll and cradled it in her arms before pressing down her hand again.

"My name's Mochica! What's your name?", said the doll.

"Kimiko." stated Kim as if she expected the doll actually could remeber the name.

Kim spent about 20 minutes with the doll behing the corner where nobody could see her giggleing madly.

"Okay, Kim, you've opened your presents, now can we eat your cake?" asked that boy, Aito.

Kim nodded her head before setting the doll nto the couch. And running after all the children and adults leaving the living room. She stopped halfway there and turned to look at the doll.

"Dont' go anywhere! You promised you'd be good." she said to the doll before running after everybody.

I followed her (still shrowd hidden of course) and watched her blow out the 6 candles, symoblizing today was the day she turned 6, before the many crazy and hyper Japanese kids (and Keiko and Kimi) chomped down into the cake, grabbing with hands and shoving into their mouths. I lokked away for a second. Though I thought I'd went crazy when I thought I saw plastic eyes and a few strands of red hair peek out from the doorway.
