Chapter 10 – A promise almost broken

A few days had passed since the Monks had discovered the truth behind the Jack attacks, finding out it was really Hannibal they had really taught him a lesson, well the Xiaolin boys and Jack had. Kimiko was sitting at her laptop bored so she logged on to to read the latest stories by one of her favourite authors (kimixrai-alwaysandforever). The story was about the author's character. Kimiko Began to read.

Chapter 1-A killer is slain

It was night in the valley, a very cold night; the soft wind had an icy bite. The sky was clear but the moon was oddly pale ,it caused eerie shadows to be thrown up and cast upon rocks, giving trees sinister shadows and making creatures that were even small as a mouse have tall demonic silhouettes. The valley was a land of emerald green grass carpeting rich red soil, silver frost coated each blade of the grass and when it moved slightly in the wind, catching the moon's light it glinted like liquid silver. This place seemed desolate despite its healthy condition for few mice scurried about; no wild life inhabited the trees and rabbits refused to eat the grass. This land was his land or at least he had made it so, for he was a tyrant, a murder and an insult to his kind...vampires. The culprit owned this land as he had taken it from its rightful owners and no one dared tread upon this valley for though it looked beautiful he could make it do terrible things. Yet now a lone rabbit scurried off startled as a figure appeared from a sudden shroud of mist at the neck of the trees which formed a wood's. A cloaked tall figure, from the way they walked they were obviously female and a pair of black leather riding boots left imprint's in the soft lush grass. Raising her hands the women lowered the hood of the cloak and uttered a word and suddenly the moon burst in to a silver brilliance of light illuminating the pale female, She had high sculpted defined cheek bones, full blood red lips a small nose that suited her face and the most mesmerising blue eyes, her lips curved in to a smile revealing perfect white teeth….no….perfect white Vampiric teeth. Looking to a castle far in the distance her eyesight zoned in to the top window of the highest turret to a silhouette, it was the silhouette of the aforementioned tyrant, she glanced down then to a letter she retrieved from a pocket

"Dear Afina

I write for your aid to our village…."

The letter went on to tell of this cruel mans ways, it was a plea from the near by village to rid them of this man. Afina raised her beautiful face to the sky

"Desolator of our kind….tonight Vikanay (vi-kah-nay) you shall die by my hands and these innocent humans shall be safe again"

She laughed softly in a musical manner and set off to the castle, to Vikanay who had no idea of his fate….

To be continued

Kimiko curse softly

"Oh I was enjoying that"

She muttered crossly. Rai walked up scratching the back of his head

"Hey uh why the swearing Kimi"

Kimiko turned bright red with embarrassment, explained and let Rai read the story, he whistled

"that's good yeah the not finishing is annoying, hey what's this one Xiaolin Showdown wind and fire, you mean people write fan fic's about us….hey it says this ones a romance awe you girly girl"

He giggled and Kimiko glared at him

"Mind you own business"

She snapped. Rai smirked and grabbed the laptop running off and hiding where Kimiko would not find him she sat down the laptop on his lap and began to read Xiaolin Showdown wind and fire. By the end he was blushing and noticed it was saved as Kimiko's favourite. Surely that had to be a sign….a big hint?...that she liked him just as much as he liked her…..or was he just being hoping, maybe it was wishful thinking, either way he was to afraid to ask so he went back to Kimiko returning her laptop with a blush and an apologise and was about to walk off when Dojo called out

"hey kid's training time, seeing as Fung's away I have to teach you"

He yelled. Kimiko shot him an angry look and Dojo flinched

"Sorry, sorry of course you're not kids anymore"

Argument aside they were all soon outside training. Then things went form bad to good as Wuya, Chase and Hannibal all showed up and began an attack. The fight seemed to go on forever and Omi and Clay ended up unconscious, Kimiko was restrained by Wuya as Hannibal and Chase attacked Rai eventually the dumped him to the ground badly injured and barely moving. Wuya let go of Kimiko they all stood laughing. Kimiko rushed to Raimundo and gently shook him

"Rai, Rai wake up please be ok come on don't quit on me now"

Their was no response and she was gripped by a sudden hateful rage

"if he's dead you be sorry" she growled inhuman like at the Heylin enemies . Her eyes flashed dangerously and fire gathered around her powerful and roaring, she stepped towards the 3 opponents looking dangerous and raised her hands fire was gathering fast in size, strength and power. Arms held out straight with the heels of her hands together and fingers splayed she screamed

"DRAGONS FURY VENGENCE FIRE"

The ball of fire shot from her hand breaking in three and hit the 3 Heylin warriors they began to scream in pain, it was lucky Omi woke and put them out because Kimiko certainly wouldn't have. All 3 vanished and Kimiko dropped beside Raimundo.

"Oh Rai please, please don't die oh wake up o-or you'll break your promise, remember, you…you promised you'd never break my heart and if you die and leave me now you will"

Rai groaned and woke up

"Mhmm Kimiko I meant what I said with that promise I….I LOVE YOU"

Rai replied faintly. Kimiko blushed and her heart stopped, this was no dream like the others this was finally real he loved her he damn well loved her. Kimiko rested his head in her lap stroking his hair form his face and keeping him warm

"Shh Rai it's ok rest….don't worry because really….I LOVE YOU TO"

Rai smiled closing his eyes and fell in to a weary sleep. Clay (who had been awake since the Heylin had vanished) and Omi smiled

"Well partner at least that wasn't a promise broken"

He smiled. Omi nodded

"No my friend it was simply just"

He looked at Kimiko and Rai

"A promise almost broken"
