The last sniff
Previously on Xiaolin Showdown...
Chase Young walks up to the Xiaolin monks after their little battle with Hannibal bean, Wuya, and himself. He smiles at Jack Spicer, "I am impressed. I am rarely impressed, but never fooled." he leans in close to Jack and sniffs. Pulling back he smiles wider, "By the way, love the perfume." then turns and calmly walks away.
Jack Spicer runs over to the black magical box and opens it ordering in a girl's voice, "Okay, Halloween's over, change me back!" the ghost from inside the box nods and Jack Spicer turns into the black haired girl monk Kimiko.
They wake up the real Jack with the orb of (something) and he shoots up, "Huh? What happened?"
four hours later...
"Kimiko, you've been in the shower for almost an hour now, it's my turn!" Raimondo said outside the bathroom door holding a towel and toothbrush.
She answers from inside, "I'm making sure that Chase can't smell me coming by washing away my scent."
"Any longer in there and you'll wash away your skin." he joked.
Omi walks over, "Kimiko can do that?"
Clay comes up behind Omi, "No, but she'll be cleaner then a dog whistle under water when she comes out."
Kimiko opens the door wearing a bathrobe and a towel on her head, "Can you smell me now?" the three sniff her.
Omi pulls back, "Whoa, I can't even tell if she is there in front of me."
"I think your plan just might work." Raimondo said impressed.
"I think you could trick a blind Bloodhound into thinking you're a ghost." Clay comments.
"Thanks, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to my room." Kimiko walks past them and they fight over who should shower next.
Kimiko enters her room and grabs her mind reading Wu off her dresser, then sits on her mat. She says it's name and it activates. It sends her mind into the mind linking satellites and she picks up Chase's thoughts. Chase's thoughts were loud and clear as he paced his chambers, petting each cat that he passed, "How should I punish Wuya? Turn her into a frog? Perhaps a turtle. No. She would still attempt to take me down. Hmm... how about a fish? Fish sounds good, a harmless goldfish. At least then she'd be a floating head again, with slight improvements." he stops and attempts to look at Kimiko, thinking loudly, "You really should stop playing with your toys, it could get you in trouble."
she quickly snaps at him through the link, "It's a sophisticated spying system, not a toy."
he smiles, "Not from where I'm standing, Kimiko."
she pulls out of it and back into her room, "Yeesh... could he get any more creepy?" she puts it back on her dresser and unwraps the towel, letting her black hair rest. She yawns, turns out the light, then goes to sleep. She awoke hours later and turns it back on, hoping that watching the others dreams could calm her mind. She noticed that their dreams matched most of their morning thoughts. She thinks for a moment, then goes back to Chase's mind.
Again his thoughts were loud and clear as he did Tai Chi, "...and stroke the peacock's tail. Now left hand under the ball." he stops and smiles, "Couldn't sleep?"
"I guess you already figured out that this is a two way system." she said crossing her arms mentally.
"If it helps you, you can join me in Tai Chi from your end." he suggested.
"How do I know your Tai Chi won't turn me evil?"
he takes a breath and continues the movement, "It calms the mind, and heals the body. Besides, you're not the one I want to turn." She shrugs and puts the device on the dresser, then copies his moves. Twenty minutes later she stops, "That was nice, but it doesn't mean we're friends."
he smirks, "Hardly, but I did enjoy your company."
"More then Wuya's?"
he chuckles, "Anyone's is better then Wuya's."
"Even Jack Spicer's?"
"Unfortunately, even his."
"I just have one question. Was it really my perfume that gave me away?" she asked grabbing it off the dresser.
He chuckles again, "Yes. But you also have a higher IQ."
Raimondo wakes up to get a drink of water, but stops next to Kimiko's room when he hears her laughing. He peaks in and sees her Wu glowing in her hands. He walks up to her, "Kimiko, who are you talking to?"
She looks up at him and shuts it off, "Nobody."
"Well, tell this "nobody" to go to bed, you have training in the morning." he said walking out.
She lets out a breath and turns it back on, "Sorry, Rai caught me laughing."
Chase smirks, "I think he likes you."
"Does not!"
He waits a moment, then smiles, "I can smell it."
her eyes go wide, "Smell!? I have to go!" she shuts it off and zooms to the showers.
"Finally. Inner peace."
Wuya shouts not too far away, "You will pay for this insult, Chase Young!"
he stops his Tai Chi and shouts in annoyance, "Calm down or you're not getting any fish flakes."
