BTW,I saw the first episode.In case you`re wondering why Miranda has a bed instead of a mat,let`s just say that Raimundo complained too much and Master Fung bought them beds,ok?

Xiaollin Showdown:Forbidden Desire

Chapter 5:Confrontation

Miranda slowly came out of her room.She wasn`t sure she could face the Xiaolin warriors after what they thought of her.They thought she was a traitor,a double-crosser.She didn`t want her new friends to think of her like this.She walked over to the main room where she saw Kimiko with her game,Omi on the floor sitting next to her,watching her play.Even though it was still cloudy outside,she could see Clay`s hat out the window.

Raimundo was leaned up against a pillow,arms folded over his chest,looking depressed.

''He must be worried about me.'' Miranda thought. "Wait! Raimundo! I totally forgot about him! He likes me a lot! I know he does! I can`t just tell him I don`t feel that way about him,and I don`t want to hurt him..Oh,what do I do?" Miranda thought sadly.

She pushed the thought aside for a moment and walked into the room.

"Miranda!" Raimundo said,jumping up and darting off to her."Are you ok? I`m sure Clay didn`t mean to be a jackass!" Raimundo said.Kimiko laughed when he said 'jackass'.

Miranda pressed a finger to Raimundo`s lips and put her hands on his shoulders.

"I`m allright." she whispered.

"Ok.Just checking." Raimundo said,looking down.

Miranda looked around the room.

"Want to play Chinese Checkers?" she asked when she saw the box.

"Sure!" Raimundo smiled a perfect smile,which was rare.

Miranda smiled back,but she couldn`t forget about Jack.He meant a lot to her,even if they hardly knew each other,but their stunning resemblance still spooked her.

So,Raimundo and Miranda played Chinese Checkers until the night became clear and there were stars in the sky.(In other words,for hours!)

"What were you doing back there with her?! How could you disrespect yourself like that!?" the ghastly voice of Wuya yelled.

"I`m sorry,Wuya! I had to get her off my mind somehow,and since you wouldn`t let me 'do my thing' I had to go see her.

"Jack,listen to me! You`re falling in love! I see it in your eyes!"

"I`m a bad guy! Bad guys don`t love! If I couldn`t get a connection with Kimiko then what chance do I have with Miranda?!"

"I saw the look in her eyes,Jack.She wants you! She needs you! You`re the world to her!" Wuya said,hovering around Jack.

"Don`t do that! You`re making me dizzy!" Jack said,shaking his head.

"Admit it,you have feelings for this girl! STOP DENYING IT!"

"I won`t admit it." Jack whispered.

"ADMIT YOUR FEELINGS,NOW!!"

"STOP BOTHERING ME,WUYA! GET OUT OF MY FACE!"

"Fine,but don`t come crawling back to me when you discover your feelings!" Wuya said,then she disappeared into her little wooden box.

Jack banged his fists on his table.

"Miranda...." he whispered her name.

Could he be in love with his enemy? It wasn`t possible!

"Miranda....She wants me...No! It can`t be true! She`s just playing me!ARRGHH!!" Jack yelled.

He touched the side of his face where she had kissed him.

"I`ll see what she really wants.." Jack said.
