I decided I'm going to write this chapter a little differently. Review and tell me what you think of it : ]
Also I forgot to mention this in earlier chapters but I DO NOT OWN XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN. Lol I thought putting it in caps would make up for not putting it in earlier chapters : ]A
About the Story...
Anything in bold is what the person is thinking in their minds
Anything in italics is like their conscience
Rai's Pov
"So what's the Wu?" "Let's see. It says here that it is the orb of honesty" Kimiko replied. " Oh I wonder what that wu could possibly due" I replied in a sarcastic tone. Omi began saying " Well Raimundo I believe it is quite obvious what this wu does. It allows it's user to only say the truth, am I right Kimiko?"
I decided to let Omi slide on replying to my retorical question because Chrome Dome obviously still doesn't know it's sarcasm. Gosh, how many times have I explained the term to him… 30… no its got to be at least 40 times. I got lost in thought until I heard Kimiko saying
" Well close; the user chooses a person, points the orb at them and says the persons name and the orb of honesty and the person can only speak the truth until the user undos the effect of the wu." " Oh that would be a most excellent wu to have! It would help us beat the forces of evil by using it on Chase Young and learning his secrets. " Omi gushed on and on.
I tuned out after about five minutes of Omi talking and decided to enjoy the rest of the ride. The Wu is in Hawaii , I mean how awesome is that! If we have extra time maybe we could go surfing that would be sweet! And you would see Kimiko in a bathing suit…. .WOW. NO I did not just think that. Did I? No I mean sure Kimiko is pretty well even maybe more than pretty, I would probably think more like beautiful. But, I don't think of her of more than a friend. She's like Clay or Omi; a person to train, talk, and hang with. Nothing more. Right? WRONG, dead wrong! Ok where are these thoughts coming from… .Rai. Do I like Kimiko? Rai. I couldn't! Could I? RAIMUNDO!
"Jeez Kimiko.. why you yelling?" "Well Rai I've been saying your name for like five minutes and you haven't answered. We're here." "OH, oops sorry"
"Alright let's start lookin' for this wu. Dojo can you sense it?" Clay said. "Well, since this wu gives me the cold I can only sense the general direction. I think it's north up the hill. No wait maybe northeast…..
"Oh this is great the geko can't sense what direction it's in and we are in a huge forest! It'll take us hours to find this wu if we don't even no the general direction" Kimiko punches Raimoundo in the arm and gives him a hard glare. "OW! What was that for?" " For being mean to Dojo!" she replied like I was some kind of idiot. No, definitly can't like that girl and her firery temper. Oh yes you do, you love how she's strong and makes her opinion clear.
" Ok, well since we have a lot of ground to cover, lets break up into teams" Kimiko started. " How about Clay goes with…". "I want to go with Kimiko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Omi screamed before Kimiko could finish her sentence. " Oh ok then me and Omi will go together and Clay and Raimundo will be a group." Kimiko said with a ping of regret because she was not with Raimundo. " When you find the wu alert the others by using your element to make a sign." On that note everyone left in search of the wu.
Clay's Pov
Oh tarnation! We've been looking for the wu for thrity minutes already and I'm tired! I can tell Rai is too by his unusually slow movements. He has been oddly quiet this whole time… I wonder what's on his mind. It must be something important too he hasn't made one wise crakin' joke.
"Hey Rai, what's on your mind partner." " Nothing cowboy I'm just exhausted! We've been walking for a really long time and still no signs of the wu. Kim and Omi haven't found it either because we haven't seen any signals." Rai snapped. " I know what you mean Rai, I'm tired and hungry too. That's not what I meant when I said what's on your mind because I can tell it's something more besides just bein' tired." " Clay your always hungry.." Rai said, avoiding the other question. " Rai you just made a joke to dodge my question".
Rai sighed. "ok well I guess I am think about something." There was no answer from Clay so Raimundo took this as a sign to continue. " I guess I have been thinking about Kimiko ." "You like her?"Clay asked curiously. " I really don't know. Sometimes I think I begin to like her and then other times I feel like I hate her. It's just all so confusing."
Before Clay had a chance to respond they saw a big fireball light up the sky. " Well, that means that Kim and Omi found the wu. We better get a move on it." Rai said.
Kim's Pov
We found the orb of honesty but ,since nothing ever seems to go right, so did Wuya and Chase. " Kimiko signal Clay and Raimundo! Hurry do it as quick as a turtle!" " Um I think you mean as quick as a rabbit Omi." " Oh yes that too, but hurry!"
Right them Wuya aimed her foot right for Omi's head and it connected, sending Omi crashing into a tree. " Omi!" I screamed.
Ok, I better signal the guys. I sent a huge fireball into the air and hoped that they would see it. Then I turned my attention to Wuya who was running towards the wu. I chased after her trying to beat her to it. But then, out of nowhere, Chase Young landed infront of me.
" I thought you wanted no part in shen gong wu" I said. " I don't but this particular one has caught my interest. I must have this wu." He said smiling evil. Omi jumped in and knocked Chase out of the way and said to go get the wu. " I will take on Chase! Hurry go!" I hesitated for a moment, he was badly hurt and Chase would only hurt him more, but I knew we needed the wu; so I took of running as fast as my feet would take me.
I managed to catch up to Wuya and it was a race to get to the wu first. Unfortunatly, we got there at the same time.
Rai's pov
As we got closer I could hear punches and grunts. I picked up the pace. Clay seemed to get the message because he started running faster. When we arrived I saw both Kim and Wuya with a grip on the orb. Oh no, that means it's a showdown.
" Ugly Hag I challenge you to a xiaolin showdown! The game is dance dance revolution. The person with the better score at the end wins.
" I accept your challenge. My silk spinner against your reversing mirror. " " Ok then, Let's go XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"
The sceneary changes into a dance floor with two mats, one for Kimiko and Wuya, and a huge television. The rest of the warriors are seated in stands that are blocked off. Chase is on the opposite side of the xiaolin warriors.
Kimiko and Wuya yell in unison " Gong Yi Temp Ai!" and the challenge begins.
Kim's Pov
Wuya and I are both on the expert level , so the arrows are flying across the screen. Theres a reason why I choose this challenge though. I've played before and I'm pretty good if I do say so myself. I have 17 combos right now and Wuya only has 7. HA take that Wuya. I'm really concentrating but I can't help but here the guys cheering me on in the background. But there is really only one voice that I hear and it's Raimundos.
He's saying " Come on Fire Girl kick that old hag's butt! Your doing great keep it up!" If I was motivated before now I'm ten times more determined to kick Wuya's butt! That is until she used the silk spinner to pin my feet to the middle of the circle!
Rai' Pov
Oh no! Wuya used the silk spinner to plant Kim's feet to the middle where she can't hit any of the arrows. At this rate she'll lose! Oh I have an idea!
"Kim! Use your hands to hit the arrows! You'll just have to be flexible!"
"Oh Raimundo that is a very good idea! I can't believe I did not come up with an idea like that" Omi stated. " Ya partner I gotta give u props. That idea is as good as getting a new pig on the farm for Christmas." Clay proclaimed.
"Wow dude you like it when your parents get you a pig for Christmas." " Darn tootin'" Clay responded.
Apparently Kim heard my idea because she was suddenly back in the game. Who knew the girl was that flexible? The showdown is almost over and it looks like Kim might win.
Normal Pov
The showdown ended and Kimiko was the victor. Wuya storms away pouting and mumbling under her breath that dancing is stupid. Chase gives a glare to the warriors then leaves after Wuya.
"Congradulations Kimiko! " Omi says.
" Nice going there little lady you sure showed that rottin snake." Clay praised.
"Way to go fire girl you really got some talent with DDR!" Raimundo says as he hugs Kimiko. Kim blushes but thankfully no one notices.
" It was no big deal guys. I'm sure any of you could have beat her easily." "Oh I am sure I would have. Probably even faster than you!" Omi boasts. "Thanks Omi. Well I couldn't have done it with out Rai's idea of using my hands. Thanks Rai I really owe you one!" Kim said with a smile. Rai Smiles back and says" No problem. Well we should probably get back to the temple."
And so they depart.
I'm so sorry it took me this long to put out and update! School has been very busy lately! I finally had a day off and got to write :]
So this chapter you see a little more about how Rai feels about Kimiko. I think I know where I'm going with this and there might be about 2-3 more chapters.
Ok so review and tell me what you think!
