Chapter 7
Kimio, Clay and Omi stand behind Raimundo as he stares up at the gaurd. Tory and Jing stand there in shock, they had just been talking to the fire and wind dragons! The guard turns to them and their hearts start to race. Two guards race at them but then a burst of green smoke forms around them then they're gone. The guards questioning look back to the first guard who now has a firm grip on Kimiko and Raimundo's arms. While the other guard has Omi and Clay.
The two guards that had gone after Tory and Jing came back and each grabbed somebody.
"Let us go!" Raimundo screams while squirming around trying to get out of the guards grip.
"We're taking you back to the palace, I'm sure that your fathers would like to know why you're out here." the gaurd growled while half dragging Raimundo. The towns people were whispering and gasping.
"Please, don't! My papa will be mad!" Kimiko sobbed while tears poured out of her eyes as she imagined the punishment her father would think of like last time. The last time she was punished was when she helped a servant to finish cleaning. Her father told her she was to stay in her room not one servant was allowed in not even Rai. For a whole week she stayed in there no food, no anything.
"Sorry Miss Tohomiko but we have to or we might lose our jobs." said the guard that was holding her.
"I bet their personal servants influenced them to leave the palace, ever since these servants came around the fire and wind dragon have been nothing but trouble." said the guard holding Omi as if they weren't even there.
"I bet the servants wont only lose their jobs, they'll be sentenced to death as well." chuckled the one shoving Clay seeing as how Clay was too big to be carried.
"It wasn't even their idea!" snapped Raimundo getting the attention of all the guards. Kimiko still sobbing looked up.
"Whatever." snapped the guard holding him as the gate to the palace opened and they shoved us in.
"Please! I d-don't want to be p-punished!" Kimiko cried struggling to try and get away.
"Too bad, you should have thought about that long before you left the castle." snapped the guard. They opened the front door and pushed us all in and led us up the stairs to the main hall and to Guans main office.
"what's the pro- Why are they in rags?" shouted the angry Guan as Kimiko and Raimundo were pushed to their knee's in front of Guan.
"They were in town sir, their servants with them." said the one guard as he shoved Clay to the ground. The guard next to him throw Omi to the ground and then stepped in to line with the other three.
"What were they doing in town, dressed like that?" screamed Guan as he pressed a button that would call for Kimiko's father.
"They were sneaking out sir." said one guard.
"Sneaking out?" Screamed Guan he opened his mouth to talk then stopped and looked at Clay and Omi. "It was their idea wasn't it?" Guan shouted walking over and slapping both Clay and Omi with a loud crack and left a red mark on each of their faces, Kimiko sobbed lightly and Raimundo was shaking from anger. "This is how you repay us by letting our wind and fire dragons run around wild?" he growled then punched Omi in the eye and kicked Clay in the guts. Until raimundo snapped.
"Stop it!" he screamed standing up and staring at Guan who was taller than him. "It wasn't their idea it was mine! Me and Kimiko have been sneaking out long before we came across them!" Rai screamed. "We told them to come with us and they did even though they told us it was a bad idea! It's not the-" Rai never finished speaking. Guan slapped him across the face knocking Rai to the ground. He grabbed at his jaw and rubbed it then spit some blood out from the busted lip he had now.
"Watch your tongue." growled Guan. Kimiko reached for Rai but Guan kicked her hand and she pulled it back quickly. Just then Kimiko's father walked in and she started to shake.
"What is wrong? I was very busy." her father said and then his eyes went wide as he saw Kimiko in rags. "Kimiko, why do you wear such things? Trash, you wear trash now?" he asked his tone turning to anger.
"No Mr. Tohomiko they were in town, they snuck out and it has come to my attention that the wind dragon came about with this idea." Guan said eyeing Raimundo as his lip bleed and he tried to slow it down by licking his lip.
"Kimiko is this true?" Asked Mr. Tohomiko in an angry tone. Kimiko still sobbing lightly nodded and throw her hands in front of her face to prevent the pain but nothing came. She looked up and saw Rai on the ground in front of her shaking. She looked up and saw her father standing there with his hand out like he slapped somebody. Rai sat up slowly rubbing his other cheek now. Both sides of his face were red but only his lower right side of his lip was bleeding.
"MR. Pedrosa will be here soon." Guan announced as he put down a phone. Raimundo started to shake even more. Not his father. Not his father anybody but his father. His father was the commander of the military and felt no guilt at all. His father could knock his teeth out and wouldn't give a damn. He could brake Raimundo's leg on purpose and care less.
"P-please not h-him." begged Raimundo as the blood dribbled lightly down his chin. Guan reached down and grabbed his chin pulling him up to his knee's and to eye level with him.
"This is your punishment." Guan hissed tears slipping out of Raimundo's eyes.
"P-please..." he cried but Guan pushed him away and to the ground.
"Suck it up, you brought this upon yourself." he growled and the door flew open. Rai choked out a sob and stopped when he looked at the man standing there. If you didn't know any better you'd think it was Rai at the age of 45. The man had brown shaggy hair with silver hair here and there. His eyes were a dying green and his tan skin barely showed seeing as how he wore a green suit that had many medals on the left side. The man walked in and looked at the shaking Raimundo on the ground in front of Kimiko. He looked up at Clay and Omi. Omi had a sightly purple eye and Clay was clutching his stomach.
"What did he do this time?" The man asked looking at Guan and Kimiko's father.
"They were out in town, in rags, they snuck out and it was Raimundo's idea to sneak out with out anybody being aware of this, apparently they've been sneaking out for a long time now." Guan reported grinning slightly as the man snapped his head back and looked at Raimundo.
"P-please d-dad, don't h-hurt me!" Raimundo begged sitting up.
"What have I told you about calling me dad?" snapped a very angry man.
"T-to call you P-pedro..." Rai said letting out a small scream as his fathers hand wrapped around his neck forcing him to his feet.
"That's right. And as for your trouble causing, I thought we ended that last time." Pedro growled. Raimundo let out a sob as he remembered the result of the last time he was punished. He ended up with a broken leg and arm a black eye busted lip and had to stay in bed for two months.
"P-please..." Raimundo cried as he grabbed at his fathers hand around his neck. But Pedro tightened his grip.
"A Xiaolin never begs." he hisses then throws Rai to the ground with a loud thud. Rai closes his eyes and curls up in to a ball. His father kicks him in the back then the back of his head. He grabs Rai's left arm and twists it behind his back getting a loud scream from Raimundo from the sudden action.
"I-I'm s-sorry!" Rai screams clutching his other hand into a fist.
"Xiaolin never apologize!" his father screams kicking him in the back again. Rai let's out a cry and sobs lightly as his father bend shis arm even more. "What do you need this arm for?" his father whispers in to Rai's ear.
"N-no!" rai cries as his arm is twisted further back. "P-ple..." he stops himself from begging.
"Nothing, I suppose." his father growls then snaps Rai's arm getting a loud pain filled scream from him. Rai shaking violently on the ground his arm bent at the wrong angel. His chin had dried blood from his lip. His neck was covered in bruises. "Can't even fight back." his father snaps then stands up and looks to Guan and Mr. Tohomiko. "My job is done." he says then walks out of the office leaving Rai on the ground crying and clutching his arm in pain. Kimiko crying loudly crawls over to Rai but let's out a shriek as her father pulls her backwards.
"The servants, take them to the dungeon." Says Guan and two guards grab Clay and Omi. They stay quiet and watch with pity as Raimundo screams again as he attempts to move his arm. Soon Omi and Clay are gone Kimiko crying on the ground while Rai screams in pain. "What do we do with the two of them?" Guan asks looking at Mr. Tohomiko.
"We'll leave them in their rooms until the wedding which is in just a few weeks. Servants are allowed only to bring them food nothing more." Kimiko's father says and Guan nods.
"But Raimundo wont be healed by the wedding. His arm will still be broken his lip will have a scar and the bruises will still be there." Guan says.
"We'll say he tripped down the grand hall staircase." Mr. Tohomiko says and Guan nods.
"Good enough, take them to their rooms." Guan says. A guard grabs the screaming Kimiko and another guard grabs the screaming Raimundo. Kimiko and raimundo's heads are side by side as the gaurds walk to the rooms.
"R-rai, I'm s-sorry..." Kimiko sobs as the guards arrive at the rooms. Kimiko is thrown in to her room and Raimundo as well. Kimiko sobs even more as she hears Raimundo's screams of pain. None of the nurses were allowed to help heal his arm, he had to heal on his own. Like last time. His leg and arm were to heal alone. Kimiko shuttered at the memory of raimundo's loud screams of pain through the nights as his bones healed themselves and he had no anti-pain meds. "This is my fault!" Kimiko screams banging on the ground.
Next door though Rai was on the ground shaking. He held in his screams. the last time his father had broken one of his arms he had been ten. He wasn't strong back then. He screamed and cried through the nights. Not this time. He thought to himself. He slowly got to his knee's biting his lip to stop the screams of pain. He places his good hand on the ground to keep himself up. He breathes in deep to get air in to his lungs. His chest was in pain. His ribs were probably fractured from the kicks his father gave him.
Raimundo slowly crawled to the bed and used it to stand up. He let out a small scream as he hit his left arm on the bed post. He stands wobbling then he makes his way slowly to the other side of the room. He opens the door and walks in to the bathroom. he let's out a small sigh as he notices the minimal damage done to him. His arm was broken, his upper arm covered in bruises both sides of his face turning a dark purple, his lip was dry but still big and swollen, his neck was purple and where his father fingers ended was where the darker marks were. He lifted the shirt of rags off lightly and stared at his upper body. His chest was purple in a few places where the ribs ended. He turned slowly and looked at his back in the mirror, it was purple in the places his father kicked him.
This was nothing compared to last time. When he was ten his father had snapped his arm in half and kicked his right leg until it was broken, he had given him two black eyes a broken lip and busies all over. He had two fractured ribs on each side and ever since then his back would hurt in the month of July every night all month. He slowly walked out of the bathroom and to the cabinet under the table. He slowly pushed it to the side and pulled the square out of the wall.
"Kimi-ko? he whispered in to the hole, his face visible in the other room. Kimiko ran over and dropped to the ground dry tears on her face.
"R-rai." she stuttered and smiled at him.
"Kimiko, I'm f-fine, trust me, this is nothing c-compared to last time." Rai says slowly, Kimiko shakes her head and sticks her hand through and places it lightly on the left side of Rai's face. She rubs her thumb over his cheek lightly and he smiles weakly and places a hand over hers. "You always knew how to make me s-smile." he whispers closing his eyes and taking in the feel of her soft hand.
"I should have tried to stop your father." she whispers and Rai opens his eyes.
"I wouldn't live with m-myself if my father laid a finger o-on you." he says. Kimiko shakes her head and stops stroking his cheek.
"You should take a bath, your lip might get infected, and the warm water might help the pain in your arm." she says not moving her hand.
"How do you know I'm feeling pain?" he asks with a weak grin.
"Rai, I've known you since we were born, I know when your in pain even if you act like your not." she says and smiles slowly and resumes stroking his cheek.
"Well, this is my fault, at least you didn't get hurt like me." he says and pulls her hand away from his face slowly and he strokes her hand with his. "I w-wouldn't live with myself if you did." he whispers then he lets her hand go and she pulls it back. "I'll go shower like you said." he says and she nods.
"I love you Rai." she whispers.
"I love you too Kim." he says as he puts the square back in the wall then heads to the shower for a hopefully relaxing half hour.
"That was a close one." Tory pants as she clutches her chest in fear Jing next to her on the ground.
"How could you not know you were speaking to the wind and fire dragons?" Chase snaps at them.
"How come you didn't know?" Tory snaps back at him.
"Stupid girl." he growls turning his back on Tory and Jing. "The wedding is in less than two months. I bet that the wind and fire dragons have been imprisoned for sneaking out. There will be no way of getting to them now." Chase says. "We must wait for the wedding, we'll take the wind dragon as well. He has been training he'll hopefully be easier to train now." Chase says and Jing grins slightly.
"The fire dragon is hot." he says and Chase snaps his head to look at him anger in his eyes. Then his eyes clear of any emotion and he stares at Jing.
"Do not speak of them in such ways." he says and Jing stares at Chase.
"Why? You like her?" Jing asks and Chase makes a face of disgust.
"Stupid boy, the wind and fire dragons are in love, they would not give each other up for the world, it's stupid to even think you have the slightest chance to be with her." Chase snaps then walks away. "That was close..." Chase whispers under his breath.
Yes this is one heck of a long chapter, yeah I know poor rai, and yes Omi and Clay have been thrown in prison! but only for now, you'll see... lol review this please, I'll update my other story sometime later maybe, if I finish the outline first.
