Me: Okay I better get major thanks for this chapter because between my writers block, my computer acting up and youtube pulling some of my favorite non-RaiKim Vids (Like my fav version of 1,000 miles and my fav version of Had a bad day for examples) I almost decided to discontinue the series and never finish the chapter.

Toph: She calls writers block 3 hours or so of not being able to write.

Me: You know that's not true I had chapter 7 planned out before I posted it this morning. I've been trying to figure out this chapter or 3 days.

Toph: Sorry my mistake

Katara: Can we please stop them yet one of them is going to get killed or at the least seriously injured.

Toph: Just one more chapter please

Katara: Fine

Me: Anyway I owe the completion of this chapter to Cartoongal1 and Allendra because Cartoongal1 really wants me to keep going and Allendra is also reading this which makes me happy so thanks you two. Warning: Major Rai heartbreak sorry

Sokka: Toph don't give me that look it's my turn. DISCLAIMER: She doesn't own Avatar: The Last Airbender or Xaolin Showdown.

Chapter 8

Heartbreak

"Okay so does everyone have the plan?" I ask. "Yeah, Josh and Rose take the guards outside and make sure they don't help the inside.

While Kris and Omi take on the inside guard, and you, Jamie, and I all go for Chase, Wuya, Hannibal, and Jack." Clay replies. "Good now let's just

hope this works" I mutter. We near Chase's lair/cave/volcano. "Go" I yell and Rose and Josh hop off with the Longi Kite. We land and run into the

lair and there they are. Chase is standing in front of a hallway. Wuya, Hannibal, and Jack stood by his sides. There was a space next to Chase on

his right, as if someone was supposed to be there. "Shoku Star Wind" I yell and transport Clay Jamie, and I up to the balcony where they stood.

"Chase release Kim and I won't hurt you . . . much" I say. Chase smiles and a cold wind blows through. "Oh Kimiko could you come here a second"

Chase chuckles. Out of the shadows emerges a figure. I can't believe my eyes. It was Kim but it wasn't. She was wearing a black skin tight shirt

with black skin tight pants. She also had dark red cloth gloves with the tops of the fingers cut off and black calf length boots. "Kim. What happened

to you?" I ask quietly.

I was just about to go inside after seeing the students off when I hear "Rai, Clay, Omi! Anyone here!". I turn and see Keiko run up.

"Master Fung! Thank goodness! Please don't tell me the guys have left yet" she says. "Yes, I'm sorry Keiko. Why did you want to see them?" I ask.

At this point Keiko's fiancé Evan has also ran up. "Kim's made a deal with Chase because he threatened to kill Rai" she bursts out. "Oh my! You

had better come in and tell me the whole story" I say and usher them in.

Kim just looks away from me and stands next to Chase. "So Raimundo still want to rescue your precious Kimiko" Chase taunts. "You

did something to her you snake" I yell and attack Chase. Clay and Jamie go by example and soon the entire room was fighting.

I move into the shadows not wanting to hurt my friends but at the same time not wanting to go back on my contract. I wince as Jamie

is thrown into a wall by Wuya. Wuya was normally my job to take down. Clay runs over to help her but is slammed into the same wall by Hannibal

and Jack. I turn my head to not wanting to make it harder on myself and almost scream. Chase was holding Rai by the neck trying to crush his

throat.

Kimiko runs to Chase's side. "We had a deal. You don't hurt them and I cooperate. Do you want me to go back on my half of the deal"

she whispers low enough that only Chase can hear her. He growls and lets Rai go. Rai smiles thinking that Kim has rejoined them but the smile

fades as she picks him up with a pink beam. Clay and Jamie are also picked up and Kimiko walks to the edge of the balcony. "Enough" she yells out

and all of the cats slowly stop attacking and retreat towards the balcony. Kim carefully transports them to the floor. "Go" she says in a voice that's

barely audible. "Kim - -" Rai starts to say but she cuts him off. ""Please Rai just go" she says. Rai closes his eyes and turns saying "Let's go". He

climbs onto Dojo. As the rest of them climb on Rai takes one last look at Kim. "He sees pain, sorrow, and defeat in her eyes, but not a hint of

regret. They take off leaving Kimiko behind.


Me: This was probably the hardest chapter to write. It was so hard to break Rai's heart like that.

Katara: But it had to be done.

Me: I know but it was still hard. Rai if only you knew what we all know.

Toph: Don't you have some more hard chapters ahead.

Me: Yes I have several. But none as hard as this one.

Katara: We should probably end now. We need to get to the other chapters.

Me: Alright R&R
