"Chase we can solve this, you and me, we don't need to involve Kimko and Jack, they did nothing..." Raimundo pushes Jack as far away as he can and stands in a ready position

Chase hisses, "Not in here..." He grabs Kimiko by the ponytail and pulls her up, "We'll take this outside..."

The four walk outside, Chase in the lead, and Jack much further behind. Chase throws the girl deep into a vacant alley and yells. Raimundo isn't scared though, he's pissed.

"Guys..." Jack's voice emerges, "I'll go home with Chase, it's where I belong..." His voice doesn't crack, his eyes don't tear up, nothing.

"Jack?" Raimundo let's his guard go and walks over to the boy. He throws his arms on the redheads shoulder and pulls closer letting his voice fall to a whisper, "You're not serious are you?"

Jack pulls away as quick as he was pulled in, "You'll get your ass kicked Raimundo.." He walks over to Chase and refuses to look any of them in the eye.

Chase smirks, obviously satisfied, "Then it's solved, isn't it? That was so easy!" He nods his head at the girl, "She's yours. Come Jack, we have to find an adequete way to punish you. Pleasure seeing the two of you always as; I expect an invite to the wedding."

"Wait!" Raimundo yells, shaking his head back and forth, "You're kidding, right? Jack! I can take this guy!"

Chase laughs and looks at Jack, "He's said his words, give it up kid."

Jack nods slowly, "Give it up Raimundo."

The brunette yells, "NO! Why would you just walk away? I thought that we had- I mean we were getting along so well..." He shifts his eyes sideways. He never thought he would be here standing up for Jack trying to make sure he remains so close. It was weird, and uncomfortable, and... weird.

"Can we go?" Jack says through clenched teeth.

Chase nods and pulls him by the elbow leaving Raimundo completley befuddled. Why would he leave with Chase so fast? He didn't even give Rai a chance to win! He totally could have beat Chase and Raimundo and him could have went back to the hotel room and had a nice dinner and curled up in bed and-

"Raimundo!" Kimiko runs up and wraps her arms around him from behind, "I'm sorry! I never cheated on you! It was Chase, it was always Chase!" She's sobbing into his shirt and he's completley disgusted.

The brunette turns and peels her off of him, "Kimiko, you're safe now go home." He shows no affection because their is none left.

The beautiful girl looks up at him with angry eyes, "What?" She lets her arms fall to her side, "We can be together again! Raimundo!" She's smiling and giggling and jumping up and down, "I missed you! I love you!" She goes in for a kiss and he turns his head away.

"Kimiko... It's just.. I don't really.." He trails off.

Jack is gone. Jack and him are nothing. Jack is nobody to him and he is nobody to Jack. He should have seen this coming I mean at the end of the road he was always supposed to marry Kimiko and they with Omi, and Clay would defeat Chase and Jack and Wuya and he mine as well just take the girl home- at least she could get him a much nicer hotel room.

"Let's just go..." He grabs the girls hand with the lightest touch and pulls her onto the street.

"Can we go back to my hotel room? It's a lot nicer and the walls... are sound proof." She smirks and pulls in close to him.

Raimundo nods, "Sure we can."

"Oh Raimundo I just missed you so much!" She carries on for awhile but Raimundo isn't listening; he intends to fall into a mound of pillows and not wake up till that night didn't happen. Why would Jack just leave? They were good; he was good! He isn't like Chase so why did he go back so easily?

Kimiko leads up an extravagant staircase into a beautiful room with big windows and a lot of stuff. It didnt impress him, he missed his dinky little room where him and Jack cuddled. He missed Jack.

"Listen Rai..." Kimiko slipped her dirty clothes onto the floor and wrapped herself up in a robe, "I know you and Jack were getting along and were becoming great friends but he's gone now, you're back with me, you never have to worry about it anymore..." She ties it loosely, "I'm sorry baby but you just have to get over it."

Raimundo smiles and pulls her into him, "Why would you slip that robe on?" He moves his eyebrows up and down and shifts his mind into past gear, "Let's make up for lost time, okay?"

Kimiko giggles, "You change your ways so fast when I get naked." She unties the robe and yanks at his shirt, "I missed this..."

"Yeah..." He mumbles and fakes enthusiasm, "Me too.."
