Xiaolin Showdown:Forbidden Desire

Chapter 4:Here in Your Arms

That morning was rainy and stormy,which was odd,since it was SUPPOSED to be summer.Those rainy days in the summer...you could never predict them..The Xiaolin warriors decided to stay inside today,except for Clay,who demanded he go outside and be a part of nature. Besides that,they just trained and played around all day.

Later that night at dinner time,they all sat on the floor eating their rice with chopsticks.Clay kept dropping his,and Raimundo tried not to laugh.

"So,Miranda?" Master Fung looked at her.She seemed off in her own little world.

"Miranda?"

"Oh,yes,Master Fung?" Miranda said,snapping out of her mind.

"Why have you decided to become a monk?"

"Oh..I guess it`s just because I never have time to relax! I`m always this way and that way.I need a moment to take a breath in life." she said.

"That`s good!" Raimundo exclaimed.

"Whatever,ya little double-crosser.." Clay muttered.Master Fung heard him.

"Now,Clay! That`s no way to talk to our new warrior!" Master Fung said,disappointment in his voice.

"I can`t help it! I have a feeling! She`s trouble! She`s a double-crosser! She`s probably working for Jack!" Clay stood up and shouted,pointing at Miranda.

Miranda`s eyes welled up with tears.She bit her lip,and hurried out of the room.

"The poor kid.She`s just trying to belong..." Dojo,the little green dragon said sadly.

Raimundo started to get up to follow her,but Master Fung stopped him.

"She must learn to be strong as a monk.She will deal with this herself." Master Fung then looked at Clay.

"I`m very disappointed in you,Clay!"

"I`m sorry Master Fung.." Clay hung his head.

Then they went back to eating their rice.

Miranda sobbed on her bed,crying her eyes out.Her black eyeliner was running,and she wiped it away,dark lines on her hands now.

"Why doesn`t anyone like me? I don`t belong anywhere.." she said.

Little did she know,she was being watched.

Jack was outside her window,watching her.He had snuck away while Wuya wasn`t there and came to see what was up,since he STILL couldn`t stop thinking about her.He wanted to go confront her,but then what would she do? She would yell and scream probably,but he decided to risk it.He slowly opened her window and stepped in,making a thumping noise as his shoes hit the floor.

Miranda looked over and saw him standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"J-Jack Spicer?!" she gasped.Guess she didn`t need to sneak out and see him,now! She backed up against her bed,terrified,yet excited to see him.

"GET AWAY FROM ME! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" she half-screamed,since she didn`t want to start another commotion among the Xiaolin warriors.

Jack took his hands out of his pockets."It`s ok.I`m not going to hurt you." he said gently,showing his hands to show her that he had no weapons.

"You`re not? You`re a sucky villian."Miranda said.

"Your eyes are red.You`ve been crying,no doubt." he said,slowly moving closer to her.

"What do you want?! Leave me alone!"

"Listen! I`ve been thinking about you a lot,so I came to see you."

"WHAT?! YOU PERVERT!!"

"No,not like that.Please,just tell me what happened.I won`t hurt you."Jack said,offering his hand.

Miranda could tell he was being truthful,so she came out of the dark corner and put her hand in his.His hand was warm,unlike hers,which was cold.She stood up in front of him,her dark,but lovely features were hauntingly beautiful when the moonlight shown on them.

"Why have you come?" Miranda asked.

"I wanted to see you,and when I saw you crying,I wanted to know why.I was concerned."Jack said,his red eyes burning into hers intensely.

"Oh,Jack.." she whispered and fell into his arms,letting herself sob into his chest.

They both sat down on her bed(A/N:Sorry,no lemon here yet!).Miranda had stopped crying and wrapped her arms around Jack`s waist,resting her head on his shoulder.She could hear his steady breathing as she pressed against him.

Jack had his arms around her and one of his hands was running through her perfectly straight dark hair.

"One thing...can I know your name?" Jack whispered.

"It`s Miranda." Miranda smiled.She knew she was flirting with death,but she didn`t care.All that mattered to her right now was Jack.Jack Spicer,the evil gothic boy-genius who craved world domination since 2nd Grade.Her enemy.The Xiaolin warriors enemy.She wanted him,and that was all that mattered to her right now.

Suddenly,a shadow appeared at the window.

'It`s Wuya! She`s back.I`ve got to go,Miranda!" Jack said,sitting up.He was about to fly out the window on his jetpack when Miranda`s hand took his in her own.Jack stopped and faced her.

"Where do you live?" she asked.

"In my secret lab under my parents house." Jack said,handing her a piece of paper.It was a map.

"Thanks for the directions." Miranda smiled.Then she gazed deeply into Jack`s eyes.

"Return to me soon,my darling Jack Spicer." she whispered,sounding rather poetic.She then kissed him on the cheek.Jack blushed hotly.Then he hugged her.

"I will come back.Let`s not forget you can visit me,too." Jack said.

"I`ll visit tomorrow night after the Xiaolin warriors go to sleep." Miranda said.

"I look forward to it." Jack said,then he jumped out the window and hovered on his jetpack.He winked at her and flew off.

Miranda`s heart leaped.She was in love with Jack Spicer.Then,after a long session of thinking,she went to confront the Xiaolin warriors to see what they were doing.She was content to keeping her romance with Jack a secret.

There was no telling how long it would stay a secret,though.
