11. Memories
The first time she saw the scars on Rai's back, Kimiko was shocked.
"I get them when a jaguar atacked me in the jungle. It's not as bad as it looks like." He told her when Rai saw the fire dragon's shocked face.
The young Japaneze reached out and stroked lightly over the claw like scars.
Raimundo turned his head away so she couldn't see the blush on his face.
What you don´t know
Is that your scars are beautiful
When she was near the dragon of wind, Kimiko never had the urge to be perfect. At these times it felt right just to be herself. Raimundo hadn't any idea how much he'd helped her to accept she was perfect the way she was by being himself and saying "It isn't true nobody's persfect Kimi. Everybody's perfect the way they are as long as they feel good."
That's his way of life. He takes wrong paths, he fells down, sometimes he doesn't know what to do but he never gives up. And all the time he's happy because he's himself.
What you don´t know
Is your imperfections are what make me whole
Everytime she sat with him, her voice went away and her legs began to shake.
She couldn't controle what she's saying.
"Eehhm…Rai? Is there a girl you like?"
When he just starred at her a bit puzzled, she just wished to run and hide. Dude, what was she thinking?
The brave and strenght her fire usally gave her were replaced now by something she couldn't explain.
What you don´t know
Is how I spiral down And it´s not like me to hide behind a wall
Cause I can´t speak whenever you´re around
And it´s not like me to fear the fall.
After Raimundo'd left for the first time, Kimiko lay awake the whole night, thinking about what had happened.
She tried to think of other things but everytime she thought this question again.
'What if I'd told Rai I love him and begged him to stay?'
Tears flooded her eyes.
"Rai, I'm always whishing you're here with me again."
She grasped her pillow and buried her face in it.
The next morning her eyes were red from the tears.
What you don´t know
Is that I lie awake
Wishing you were here tonight
When Kim looked into his emerald green eyes, it felt like she'd known him even before there were alive.
Maybe she's right. In China and Japaneze many people believed in reincarnation. Maybe they've already met in another live?
What you don´t know is
that I loved you long before we were alive
Cause how would you know, how could you know
So now I´m gonna tell you everything
The dragon of fire'd always liked to watch her tan skinned teammate. The way he moved was just amazing. Quick punshes and kicks and he did everything with such a grace.
'I love the way he's moving.' She thought while he doudged one of Omi's kicks during the training.
'LOVE?!'
What you don´t know
I have studied the way you walk
His face came so near she could feel his warm breath on her cheek. She touched one of his blushing cheeks and leaned in for a kiss. His lips were soft and sweet like clouds made of sugar. Her stomack began to tiggled like it had never done before.
She woke up with a crimson blush on her face .
What you don´t know
Is I´ve already kissed you in the shadows of my heart
Raimundo. World of light or light of the world. She repeated his name over and over. It seemed like a word from a beautiful poem.
What you don´t know
Is that you´re poetry
Raimundo walked towards the garden where Clay and Omi already awaited him.
Serveral times he had the feeling of being pursued. But everytime he turned around he couldn't see somebody.
Lucky her, Kimiko ducked everytime Raimundo turned around.
She didn't exatly know why she's following him but she couldn't stop it.
If you turn around there´s someone you won´t see And it´s not like me to hide behind a wall
Yeeaah
Her feelings for him became stronger and stronger with every day she's near him.
At night, she couldn't fall asleep and during the day, Kimiko couldn't focus on something.
This had to stop but she didn't want her love to end so there's just one option.
"I have to tell him." She spoke to herself.
What you don´t know
is that I lie awake
Wishing you were here tonight
What you don´t know
Is that I loved you long before we were alive
But how would you know, how could you know?
So now I´m gonna tell you everything
What you don´t know
What you don´t know
She found Raimundo sitting under a cherry tree in the temple garden.
"What's up, Kim?" he asked when he saw her coming towards him. He tried hard not to blush when she looked at him with her azure eyes and he succeed.
"Raimundo, I have to tell you something. But first you have to swear me you won't laugh at me."
He saw the light blush on her face and nodded.
"I swear I won't laugh at you. So what's the matter?"
"I – I – "
Kimiko couldn't think of how to say it without sounding idiotically. She thought for few moments until sher heard Clay's voice.
"Raimundo, pardner. Another Wu went active. So hurry up."
Kimiko saw Raimundo standing up.
"Okay Kim. I guess whatever you're about to say can wait, can't it?"
He was about to walk away.
'No it CAN'T!!' her inner voice yelled.
"Raimundo, wait! What I was trying to say's I – I love you."
Saying it wasn't as hard as she thought it would be.
A moment later she felt soft lips on her forehead.
What you don´t know
Is when the moon and the sun collide
The morning comes this time I won´t be afraid to try
Kimiko just stood there under the tree and looked into the sky. She's too happy to think.
A cherry bloosom fall down and landed on her forehead. At the same spot where Raimundo had kissed her just few moments ago.
What you don´t know
Heey,
What you don't know
