(Milton P. O. V.)
"Where are you going?" Jack asked Kim, who was exiting her house with a suitcase. She froze, and stared at him. Then the rest of us. She grew uncomfortable. The next thing she was going to say was a lie, I'm sure of it.
"Uh, nowhere." Her voice started to get high. Kim, dear Kim, don't make it too easy to know when you are lying. I took a step towards her.
"Kim, where are you going?" I asked her, smiling. She gave me a death glare, and crossed her arms. Then she looked down at her feet.
"Mom told me." She mumbled. We all looked at each other, trying to figure out what she meant. "She told me about Aurora. Her past, what we were born to do."
"What's with the suitcase then?" Eddie asked.
"This morning, I turned on the tv. Spirit birds are being kidnapped, I knew in my heart that it was the Dark King, and that he is coming for Aurora. So, I'm running away from him." She said. Nothing else was said. I placed my hand on her shoulder, and tried to comfort her.
"It's going to be okay, Kim. You don't have to run away." I said. Jack nodded. Kim shook her head.
"No! I have to! You have never had a friend like Aurora!" She yelled.
"That's a pretty bold claim there, missy." Rudy said. Kim looked down at Aurora.
"She has been by my side ever since I was little. Helping me learn from my mistakes. When Emma moved, she was there to help comfort me. When I was bullied, she told me to keep my head held high, and get back up. When my father went back to the Air Force, we were sad together. She is my best friend, and there is nothing I won't do to keep her safe." Kim said. Rudy started passing tissues out to everyone, because we were all sobbing. As soon as we all stopped crying, Rudy smiled softly at Kim.
"Where would you go?" He asked. Kim didn't reply, I guess she didn't really think about that.
"Tell you what, If you rejoin the Bobby Wasabi Dojo, then we can bring you to China with us for Jack's tournament." Rudy said. One problem with Rudy's plan, Kim will never join our dojo.
"I'll do it, as long as it gets me out of here." She said. I stand corrected. That's a first.
"One question though, the flight leaves in about a week so, do you mind being stuffed in a closet until then?" Jack asked. We all looked at him. "What? The woman wanted protection!" He said. We all rolled are eyes. Kim laughed.
"Okay, sure. But, I need to get something first." She ran back in her house. We all looked back at Jack.
"Stuffed in a closet? Really?" Eddie asked. Jack shrugged.
"What? She's willing to leave her home, why not add some extra protection?" He said. "And then we will add a couple of 1,000 lbs blocks blocking the door, and then we can get one of Bobby's elephants to move them. Or a security system that only we can turn off. You know, so nobody will hurt them." He said. I noticed a small blush appearing on his face. Apparently, the others noticed it as well, because they were all smirking at him.
"You like her!" Jerry laughed. That caught Jack off guard.
"No! I don't want her to get her best friend stolen from her!" Jack yelled. We all burst out laughing. Jack kept a strait face. Then the door opened, and Kim came out her door, carrying a large brown book.
"Kim! Jack-" Jerry started, but Jack covered his mouth.
"Wants to welcome you back to the Bobby Wasabi Dojo!" Jack said, putting his arm around Kim, pulling her towards the dojo. He looked back at us, angrily. I gave him a thumbs up. Aurora looked at us.
"Do you know something we don't know? Or did you just tell a funny joke?" She asked.
"A little bit of both." I said. Aurora jumped up on to my arm.
"Ah! I just got shots there! It hurts!" I yelled. "Speaking of shots, have you has yours? I mean, Kim is supposed to save the world, and that would be a setback if I got rabies." I told her.
"Yes, I had my shots. Now let's get going!" We all nodded, and raced towards the dojo.
A. N.: Hello again! I'm sorry if this chapter wasn't one of my best works, but I needed a way to tie some of my earlier ideas in to this story that I really don't want to get rid of. So, Kim is going to be staying in a closet for about a week, yay! Remember to review! Thank you!
