Hi everyone!

So this chapter has no name, as you've probably noticed! I just couldn't think of a name... I'd love it if you could leave a review with your suggestions for a name for this chapter!

Also! There is a slight lemon in this chapter. Not really a lemon at all, sort of more implied. But if any of you are offended, just skim over it, it's not too long. If you think I should change the rating to M, let me know :)!

So here are my fabulous regular reviewers: XxBraveSoulxX, Nimeneko and MoonHeart13. I feel like it must get boring to see your names here every time I update a chapter- but I have to show my appreciation somehow!

My new reviewers who I am also appreciative of: TiggetNeko and a mystery guest reviewer!

Thank you all very much, and a big thank you to the people who favourited and followed this story!

Jack flew the monks back to the temple, where they all retreated to sitting by one of the ponds to relieve their ice-cream induced pain. The afternoon sun glinted playfully across the water in the pond.

They sat in silence for a while, until Clay came up with interesting conversation material.

"So, what do y'all think about Chase and Wuya's offer?" he drawled.

Omi stroked his chin, feeling a slight amount of stubble "Chase has only ever exhibited honourable behaviour. I think we should accept his most gracious offer."

Kimiko frowned "What? That's obscene! Firstly, Chase blackmailed you into taking over the world with him, that's not honourable. And secondly, it's not a gracious offer, he's doing it to help himself!" She said angrily.

"I'm thinking I have to agree with Kimiko here, Omi. Chase is more unpredictable than a bull in a China store." Clay added.

Omi seemed betrayed "Kimiko, I gave my word to Chase, that is why I stayed with him. Chase does not double over on his words. He is most truthful."

"That's 'double back', globe dome. But I have to agree with you. In all my Heylin days, he never once crossed anyone. That's his problem too, he never fights dirty. Must be something from his Xiaolin days..." Jack commented.

"What? You think Chase would be honourable? He's evil!" Kimiko spat.

"That's the thing though, he's selfishly evil. The only reason he's helping us, is because there's something in it for him. So why would he double cross us if it won't benefit him?" Jack refuted.

Kimiko looked at him, disgusted. She threw her hands in the air and got up, walking off.

"Wait! Kimiko! Where are you going?" Omi called after her.

"For a walk! Don't follow me!" Kimiko yelled back harshly.

Clay shrugged "Women. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em." And with that, he went to his sleeping quarters for an early night.

Omi looked at Jack "Perhaps we were too difficult for Kimiko."

Jack snorted "Kimiko has a hot little head, but she'll calm down."

"I hope so Jack Spicer." Omi paused "I am most glad to have you as an ally now, and not as an enemy."

Jack raised his eyebrows "Thanks Cheddar head."

Omi turned to walk away "I am going to practice my Wudai form, but I think you should find Kimiko."

"You heard her, she doesn't want to be bothered" Jack replied.

"I think she would not mind being bothered by you, Jack Spicer." And with a cheeky smile, Omi walked off.

Jack frowned to himself; perhaps he should go find her. He wrestled with himself for a few moments, before deciding to head back to his apartment.

Kimiko returned from her walk, feeling calm and content. In the hour or so that she had taken, she had come to the realisation that what Jack and Omi were saying about Chase made a lot of sense. She figured she would still wait to see what Raimundo said as the Shoku leader, but she had essentially resigned herself to agreeing with them. The Elementalists were certainly strong, and if facing them the other week was anything to go by, they would need all the help they could get.

She walked to the front steps of the temple and was met with Master Fung. She smiled and bowed.

"Good evening Master Fung."

Master Fung nodded his head and smiled back at her "Kimiko, I believe Jack Spicer has something waiting for you." He said warmly.

She cocked her head to the side "What is it?" she asked.

Master Fung said no more, but simply motioned to Jack's house next to the temple grounds.

Kimiko sighed, and walked toward Jack's residence. She ran through a hundred different scenarios about what Jack would want, and prepared herself for an argument about Chase.

She knocked on the door, and was surprised when Jack answered promptly.

He was wearing his normal clothes, sans the jacket, and his goggles were slightly askew on top of his head and covered in, what looked like, red splats of tomato sauce.

He grinned at her and let her in, motioning her toward his dining table, which had been adorned with a simple tablecloth and a candle.

"What is this about?" Kimiko said with a sceptical look.

"I wanted to apologise for making you so upset" he said sheepishly.

Kimiko raised an eyebrow "Really?"

Jack nodded and half smiled at her. He pulled out a chair for her, and allowed her to sit down, before pushing it in. He then walked into the kitchen and came back, with two plates of spaghetti. He lay one down in front of her, and one in front of his chair at the opposite end of the table.

He sat down, and motioned with his fork "Dig in!"

Kimiko took her fork and twirled some of the spaghetti around, before putting it in her mouth. Her eyes widened as she tasted all the different flavours. She swallowed her mouthful and looked at Jack, who had been watching her for a reaction.

"Jack, this is amazing!" She said.

Jack grinned largely "It's my grandmother's secret recipe. She makes it way better than this."

There was not a great deal of conversation as they both made their way through the plate of pasta. Of course, they made some small talk and laughed at some of the things that had happened recently, but no big conversation ensued.

After finishing their plates, Jack took them away and asked Kimiko if she would like to have a shower.

"What? Here?" She asked.

Jack immediately felt awkward "Well, you know, just because it's been a big day and my shower has hot water jets that come out at the sides. It's the best shower ever designed!" He said, shifting the focus from Kimiko showering at his place.

Kimiko raised an eyebrow "Okay…" she said cautiously.

With that, she went into the bathroom and locked the door. On the counter, she noticed a fresh bar of soap on top of a towel and a bathrobe. She undressed and got into the shower. It was immediately hot, and she so appreciated the jets spraying water onto her back and sides. She used the bar of soap Jack had supplied and lathered up. It was so heavenly to have such a long, hot shower. The temple shower only allowed for a quick rinse and lather before the hot water ran out. She sighed contently and stood under the hot water for, what she reasoned, was just a little while longer.

There was a knock at the door as Jack called out "Is… is everything okay? You've been in there for nearly half an hour."

Kimiko snapped back to reality and felt a blush rise to her cheeks "Yes, sorry, I'm fine! I'll be right out."

She hurried to turn off the water and dry herself off, wrapping the bathrobe around her body and quickly towel drying her hair. She unlocked the door and steam poured out with her.

Jack was waiting, standing next to his bed. He grinned at her "Nice shower, I take it."

She nodded emphatically, and walked over to Jack, giving him a hug. She felt Jack sigh, and hug her back.

She looked up to him and saw his dark red eyes twinkle. He had cleaned up his goggles and they lay properly on his head once more. How had she not seen how adorable those goggles were before?

Jack leant down and kissed her softly on her cheek. "I'm glad you came for dinner. I went and got some of your clothes for you to change into, if you like."

Kimiko shrugged "This bathrobe is pretty comfy."

They looked at each other in awkward silence for a while, before Kimiko took Jack's face in her hands and brought him down to her level and placed a kiss on his lips.

Surprisingly, the kiss did not break. They just kept kissing, and it soon developed into a more passionate endeavour. Kimiko's hand pulled gently on Jack's chin, coaxing his mouth open. Jack complied, and moaned quietly as Kimiko's tongue entered his mouth. Jack, who had been lost in sheer passionate bliss, suddenly bounced back to reality.

Jack broke the kiss "Uh. If, we go any further, I might… well I… I've never been this far with a girl" he said nervously.

Kimiko laughed gently "It's okay. I'm a virgin too, if that's what you're saying."

Jack raised one eyebrow "Uh, well I'm that too. But I've never actually…made out with a girl before."

Kimiko's eyebrows shot up and she paused momentarily "Well, let me teach you" she said, pushing Jack toward the bed.

He fell backwards onto it, as Kimiko straddled his hips and leant down to him. They resumed their kissing, and Kimiko noted that Jack was a fast learner, as he placed his hands on her bathrobe clad hips. Their tongues danced together, and Kimiko felt a burning growing inside her.

Jack had slowly begun to rock his hips against her, and he would let out a muffled moan or ragged breath with each movement. Kimiko sat up, and tugged at the hem of Jack's t-shirt. Jack quickly realised what she was after and leant forward, pulling it off in one motion.

Kimiko looked at his chest. It was as pale as the rest of his body, and his pectoral muscles had become defined with his training. There was a small amount of light red chest hair that she noticed as she ran her index finger from his stomach to his chin.

Jack shuddered at Kimiko's sensual touch and his eyes seemed to plead for them to continue. Kimiko grinned, and shrugged the bathrobe off her shoulders. It fell neatly to her hips and Jack's mouth fell open.

The next morning, Jack and Kimiko woke up to the sound of a Jack-bot informing them of the time.

"It is 8 o'clock in the morning, Jack." It said in a monotone voice before leaving the room.

Jack and Kimiko groaned, pulling the blankets up to their shoulders and sitting up, shielding their eyes from the morning sun.

Jack squinted his eyes and looked to Kimiko, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Morning." He said with a grin.

Kimiko took a deep breath and smiled back "Morning yourself."

Jack reached for his boxers on the floor next to the bed and wrestled them on under the covers "Last night was amazing" he mumbled.

Kimiko nodded and stretched out her arms "You sure learn quickly." She commented.

Jack grinned "Hey, neutral super genius remember?"

Kimiko rolled her eyes "I'm going to go have a shower, okay?"

Jack nodded his approval and got out of bed, making his way to the kitchen.

Kimiko got into the shower and started washing. She was still surprised that she and Jack were proving to be a suitable match. He was more charming than she remembered, not to mention more handsome. 'I guess things just change with time' she thought to herself.

She got out of the shower and was making her way to the kitchen, when a string of metal sculptures caught her eye. She had not seen these before and wondered where Jack had purchased them from, they were very refined and detailed.

She walked into the kitchen and sat down at the dining table with Jack. "Jack, where did you get those metal sculptures from, the ones in the hallway?" She asked.

Jack looked up from reading some blueprints "Oh. I made them."

Kimiko raised an eyebrow "What, really? They're so…"

"Totally awesome?" Jack finished "Yeah I know. I figured out how to use my element to make stuff. That's where cook-bot came from" he said, motioning to the robot in the kitchen.

The robot came out to the dining table and laid freshly cooked pancakes in front of them. Jack grinned widely "These look great!"

Kimiko nodded as tucked in to her breakfast, feeling a sense of contentment she had not felt in a long time.
