Last time
Fung chuckled. "Engaged though they are, they do not sleep together."
Gin raised an eyebrow. "What the fuck, are you serious?" Fung nodded. "That's just weird..."
Now
Rai groaned a habit he seemed to be getting into for the past few days, as he opened his hunter green eyes. Moving his head to look around he saw he was in his personal room, which was basically his old room but with actual walls and more space. Hearing a moan to one side he realized Kimiko was the weight he had been feeling on his arm. Smiling he tightened his grip on his fiancée, feeling content to simply lounge about for a little while.
He got his little while, until a scent suddenly invaded his senses. "Cute." Gin stated, leaning against the frame of Rai's door.
"How long have we been out?"
"Three days."
"How did my team do?"
Gin smirked. "I tested the others yesterday, they did fine. I see why someone like Chase Young would be interested in Omi; he has a lot of potential. Clay was also impressive." Rai smiled, proud of his team.
There was a comfortable silence, neither having anything to say. "... What was that technique?" Rai asked off handily.
"Oh, that? It was the foundation technique of my personal style... if you keep impressing me like you did in that fight, and I may just teach it to you." Gin couldn't suppress his chuckle at Rai's disbelieving look. "What's more surprising? That I'd teach it to you, or that that one move was only a foundational move?"
Rai blinked. "I'm not quite sure..." Gin chuckled a little harder, before his face became a little more serious. "Did you hear it? Wait, wrong question; you obviously heard it..."
Rai blinked. "You mean when the wind sang?"
Gin nodded. "Yep, that's what I meant... What did it feel like to use that technique?"
Rai's eyes lost focus as he thought about it. "It... Was like something was guiding me, like it was something I could already do and was just having problems remembering..." Gin 'hmmed' as he tipped his head in thought.
Suddenly, Dojo's voice screeched through the Temple and shattered the room's tension. "GREAT HALL, NOW! Guests may also come!" Dojo's echoing voice caused Kimiko to jump awake.
The Dragons of Wind and Fire looked at each other, Kimiko screeching as their position, finally, sank in. Blushing furiously, Kimiko took off to her room to get dressed, it was at that moment that Rai realized their state of dress; he was in only his boxers, and she had had only been in her pj bottoms and a bra.
"Who dressed us?!" Raimundo asked, a fierce blush coloring his face.
Gin shrugged, obviously missing the problem. "I did." Gin motioned with his hands to calm down the growling Shoku Warrior. "Oh, get over it. I'm no pedophile, so don't worry about that."
Grunting, Rai pushed himself out of bed and walked over to his chest and pulled on his Shoku uniform. Pulling his medallion over his head Rai started out the door. "Coming?"
Gin shrugged. "Sure, not like I have anything else to do." Gin trailed behind Rai, who had took off running. Gin raised an eyebrow as he strolled into the Great Hall; every one was lined up how they had been for his arrival, though with the Avatar group instead of the other monks standing behind the Warriors.
Fung nodded at Gin from his place at the front of the hall. "Two more of the Xiaolin have awakened." This brought gasps from the Xiaolin, while the Avatar group simply looked confused.
"Which of our fellows have woke up?" Rai asked his team remaining silent as they now had an official leader to speak for them.
"The Dragons of Lightening and Sound have awakened." That widened everyone's, other then Gins and Fung him self's, eyes.
"Who and where?"
Fung smirked. "I believe you will need only the names; Jermaine Quartermaine and Keiko Takaishi are the Dragons of Sound and Lightening respectively." The Xiaolin blinked, they hadn't seen that coming, before grinning.
"Permission to go retrieve the new Dragons immediately, Master Fung." Rai asked, bowing formally.
"Granted." Fung returned the bow.
Rai smirked, turning to face his team. "Go retrieve any Wu you want from the Fault. I'll bet my medallion that Chase and Wuya will try to get in the way of us collecting Jermaine and Keiko, I don't think we need to worry about Jack, not that we ever need to worry about Jack, as he has no way of knowing about Jermaine and Keiko." The three nodded, running off to the Wu-Fault.
"Who will you go to first, Raimundo?"
"Hmm…" Rai rubbed his chin. "Keiko; Jermaine has prior training so he should be fine till we get there if trouble shows up first."
Fung nodded, accepting the Shoku's plan.
Rai turned to face the Avatar group. "You bunch should come as well, you'll need to get familiar with our world as you'll be here a while. I assume my group showed you around the town to show some of our world's differences?" They nodded, which Rai returned.
"Did you say 'Takaishi'?"
Rai jumped, he had almost forgotten about Gin, though how was beyond him with Gins scent being so distinct. "... Yeah, I did. Does that have any meaning for you?"
Gin said nothing, shaking his head he pushed off the wall he had been leaning against and walked off. Rai turned his inquisitive gaze to Fung, who shrugged. Rai turned as he felt a tap on his shoulder, it was Aang.
"We'll be coming to." Aang stated, petting the lemur on his shoulder.
Rai nodded. "Cool... Aang, was it?" Bald monk with arrow tattoos nodded. "Let's go, Dojo?" The dragon slithered off of Fung's shoulder and headed for the court yard. With a bow towards his Master Rai led the other-worlders to the court yard. They had already been introduced to jumbo Dojo so they weren't that startled to see Dojo super sized out in the court yard, the others we're also there waiting. Giving Kimiko a quick kiss he piled on the large dragon.
'Actually, Dojo is only a middle sized dragon, Rai.' Rai chuckled at Silon's mental correction of the size.
'And I suppose you're a small dragon?'
'Large, actually, and I mean in both size and... Size, just ask Firdra.' Rai pulled a face.
'No thanks.' Silon simply chuckled.
Toph kicked the ground angrily as she climbed onto the dragon. "I hate flying…"
Gin and Rai couldn't stop their flinch; hate flying? That's just plain wrong! Gin sighed. "Toph, please don't say that again around me. Though I can understand why you would…" Shudder. "Hate flying, as it renders you completely blind, just, please, don't say it again…" Gin rose an eyebrow at how cramped they looked on Dojo.
"… Maybe you and I should fly ourselves, Raimundo; it'll be pretty cramped when we pick up the other two." Gin suggested.
Looking around, Rai nodded. "Good idea, I need to practice my mobility with them any way."
Flipping of Dojo Rai began to pull of his top when Gin stopped him. "Hold on. As much as I'm sure you'd love to go around bare chest…" Using his claws, Gin cut slits in the Shoku's ghi top large enough for the wings to slide out of with out ruining the shirt. Rai blinked.
"Thanks." Rai said absently as he summoned the purple scaled wings into existence, the only tattoos that showed we're the ones on his neck.
Gin shrugged as he did the same, his large angel wings slipping through two slits in his own shirt.
Rai blinked. "Wait. If you had slits why did you take off your shirt in the fight?"
Gin smirked. "Because I love the looks on peoples faces when they see how heavy my clothes are."
Keiko sighed in boredom was she padded into her room, still wet from her shower. Sighing again she dropped the towel wrapped around her to the floor and proceeded to get dressed. When she was finished, she stood in front of the full body mirror and inspected her self.
She stood at 5' 2'', with long blonde hair she had inherited from her father reaching down to her waist. Her pale body wore faded blue jeans and a periwinkle tank top. She smiled when she met her reflection's eyes, a light ruby red that she loved.
"Why the heck am I so hyper?" The blonde asked her reflection. "This is my 3rd outfit today…" She trailed off, thinking of something to burn off her extra energy. She had just sat down on the floor to do light work out-a girl needs to work to keep her figure!-when her mother voice called her down.
"Coming, Kaa-san!" Keiko called back, springing to her feet and speed walking out of her room and to the living room, where she had heard Kari's voice.
She wasn't quite prepared for her best friend jumping her, which is the reason she fell to the floor so easily.
"Hey, Kimi!" Keiko cried happily. "Heard about you and Raimundo, congrats!"
Kimiko laughed. "Thanks."
"Ahem."
Looking up Keiko's red eyes met Raimundo's hunter green eyes. "Hey, Ray."
"Yo." He returned. "And thanks for the congrats, but we need to hurry." He helped the two up. "We have another stop today." He gestured to all the people in the room. "Meet our new allies, The Avatar group."
Keiko nodded to each of them as they introduced themselves, her lingering on Sokka, who she winked at. Keiko sighed in defeat, however, as Suki wrapped an arm around him possessively, and sent her a look clearly saying 'mine!'.
"So, why has the new Shoku warrior want with little ol' me?" She asked as she met every one, Gin was off some where else out of sight.
"To gather a new Xiaolin Dragon." Rai smirked. "Do you know some one named 'Takaishi Keiko'; the new Dragon of Lightning?"
Keiko tapped her chin, obviously not making the connection to herself. "Hmm… sounds familiar…"
Rai laughed loudly. "I mean you, Baka; you are the one we were looking for."
Keiko blinked, cheeks matching her eye coloring. "Raimundo Pedrosa, that's a mean trick!"
The Brazilian smirked. "I ain't kidding; you are the Dragon of Lightning, Takaishi Keiko. Your parents…" He gestured to Takeru and Hikari sitting on a love seat watching the scene in amusement. "Have given their permissions for you to come to the Temple for training, wanna come?"
Keiko grinned. "Sure."
"Ok, we need to get moving; gotta pick up Jermaine. Every one haul out, Gin can catch up later!" Rushing out of the house on to Dojo and taking off, no one noticed TK's and Kari's shocked looks.
"G-G-Gin…?" They asked empty air.
"Hello, TK, Kari." Gin said, stepping into view, hi wings held close to his body as to not knock anything over. "I'm sorry…"
The two laughed, cutting Gin off. "Its fine, Gin."
Gin growled. "No it's not! I failed your world…! I lost track of Zela, and he destroyed your world!"
The two sighed. "Gin, no one's perfect." TK said. "Even you, failure is part of life, we just got caught up in one of your bigger ones."
"I suppose any further attempts to apologize would be pointless…" Gin sighed, heading for the door. "I should catch up with them…" He paused as he opened the door, looking back at them sadly. "I may have to call upon you two once more… I'm sorry; I promised you a peaceful world to raise your daughter…" With that, Gin flew off.
"We know." The two muttered, eyes hard. "We will fight in your name, Gin, if for no other reason then you allowed us too raise our daughter.
"Hello, Jermaine." The voice startled the black New Yorker enough to miss his shot. Turning on his heel, Jermaine narrowed his eyes at the 'Dark Prince' and Wuya.
"Hello, Chase." Jermaine growled. "What brings you to this side of the planet…?"
Chase smirked at his one time apprentice. "Why, I've come to eliminate a Dragon."
"The others are here?"
"Not yet… But you are, Dragon of Sound!" Wuya said as Chase leapt across the distance between him and Jermaine and began a lazy attack.
As good as Jermaine was, he couldn't much up to Chase for long, after a short skirmish a strong hit to the chest sent him into the basket ball hoop pole. Chase raised his fist, preparing to blow his fist into Jermaine's skull.
When the blow was an inch from the black kid's skull, a powerful gust of wind made him skid away from his target just in time.
"Well, well, someone's met their Dragon Spirit." Chase and Wuya muttered eying Rai's new appendages.
Rai just smirked as he and his group fell into their various stances, Keiko staying back due to lack of experience, and the Avatar group doing the same. "Damn straight."
Yo. Chap update day to day!('cept USG, that'll be soon though, my co authors going over it right now)
