Previously on 'Chasing the Wind':

"Jack, I challenge you to a xiaolin showdown!"

"Name your game!"


NORMAL P.O.V.

"The game is 'Jungle Maze'. We'll search for the wu in the dense jungle. I wager my Lon Gi Kite against your Monsoon Sandals."

"I accept, but I also challenge YOU to a shen yi bu dare! My Tounge of Sai Ping against your Falcon's Eye!"

"Fine!" And they both shouted,

"Let's go! Xiaolin showdown!" The jungle got more dense and kimiko was soon in her showdown ninja uniform.


Meanwhile:

RAI'S P.O.V.

I find myself in my ninja outfit, and, since this is the first shen gong wu since I became leader, this would be the first time I'd notice any differences. For example, the fact that my shoku robes are now being worn over my showdown uniform. Then I hear footsteps approaching.

It's Clay and Omi. FINALLY! I mean, seriously, what took them so long. I've explained to them what the showdown is, and what's happening.


NORMAL P.O.V.

After the jungle changes to meet the needs of the showdown, it's time to begin.

"Gong Yi Tam Pai!" As the showdown starts, Jack uses the Monsoon Sandals and tries to communicate with the birds using the Tounge of Sai Ping. He finds a bird and says,"Uh, excuse me, but can you help me find something?"

While he does that, Kimiko flies by while using the Lon Gi Kite and the Falcon's Eye to search for the Dragon's Eye Amulet. However, Jack should really pay more attention to what's happening to him, since it looks as though some woodpeckers have mistaken his legs for trees. As he screams and falls, Kimiko finds the Dragon's Eye Amulet and retrieves it.

"That was moooooost exellent!" (can you guess?)

"Gotta agree with the little fella." (again, obvious)

"Kim, that was awsome! He was out in 15 seconds flat!"

"Shut up Raimundo, I'm still mad at you!" As Kimiko says this, she storms off and mounts Dojo.


LATER THAT NIGHT:KIM'S P.O.V.

It's just after dinner, and as I reach my cubicle, I see a note taped to my door. It says:

Kim,

Please meet me outside the meditation temple in a half hour. I'm sorry about earlier, and I want to apologize in person. Please Kim, I NEED to apologize.

- Rai -

".......Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to see what he has to say."


HALF AN HOUR LATER:NORMAL P.O.V.

Kimiko arrives outside the meditation temple and sees Raimundo leaning against the wall, hands behind his back, and upon seeing her, he says,

"Hey. I was kinda hoping you'd show up. But, I'll be honest, I didn't think you would."

"Just tell me what you're going to say, Rai."

"Well, I mostly just kinda want to apologize. I really am sorry Kim. I guess I just wanted to be annoying, but, that was wrong. It's just that, ya know, now that I'm the leader, I was just looking for some fun to get rid of the stress, but, I went about it all wrong, and I should be more responsable. I really am sorry though. Forgive me?"

Kimiko was surprised. No, more than surprised, stunned. Here she was with Raimundo, RAIMUNDO, and he was ACTUALLY apologizing. Not to mention he was actually being sincere.

"Rai...I...That was....very sweet and sincere, but, I guess I should be the one to apologize. I was being kind of hard on you and I-"

She was cut off by the feeling of Raimundo's lips being pressed to hers. She was downright shocked to say the least, and before she could react, he pulled away and ran off CLEARLY embarrassed.

"Rai! Wait!" But he didn't seem to hear her, so she simply watched his retreating figure, knowing that she could do nothing to stop him.


I know what you're thinking, WHAT THE DASHI! A CLIFFIE?!?!? I know, i know, and to be perfectly honest, I'm not much of a cliffie person, but i put them in where they fit. Also, the next chapter will include Rai's absolutely LAME explanation. Trust me when i say, it'll be hillarious! So, please, R&R! Constructive critisism is greatly appreciated. Flames will be jammed DOWN YOUR TROAT! Tin-tin be saying goodbye!
