A/N: I'm really sorry, but I won't be able to update as often as I have been since my school started on Thursday (2nd September). WAAAAAAA!!! Damn school! Why can't we all be home-schooled? Hands up to vote for home-schooling! (cricket chirps) OK then. Anyway, if you want Chapter 4 to be long, sorry, but chances are it won't be. None of my chapters are long.

Crud! Writers block! (becomes sad then gets a burst of inspiration) I know! To unblock, I'll answer your reviews from Chapter 3...

To DerryBabe: Thank you very much for your idea! I think I will use it in future chapters. I am flattered that I'm in your favourites list!

To yingyang-fairy: Thanks! I hope you keep reading because the good stuff is coming soon!

To Rune-Spirit: I'm updating now so here you are!

To DeathRealm: Yay! You like my story! Hee hee!!!

To Jadebell: Cool! You'll help me! Maybe we can get half vamp to help us as well... Anyway, tell Rex from me to get off his lazy fat butt and help you with Chapter 6 of The Lost Dragon. I'm looking forward to it! Let's hope Omi finds it soon in Soho!

To half vamp: Yes, horrible it may be they have. What me and Jadebell reckon is that they are gonna put Season 2 up soon. I hope so!

To krumsthedmg: Awww, you think it's cute too. So did my best friend who I am trying to get to register in here because she has a wicked Final Fantasy 8 fic. And you Americians don't realise how lucky you are, getting s2 of XS next week! Whatever you do, please don't tell me what happens in the first episode of s2!!! I want to be surprised.

To TamerTerra: That better be why it's missing. I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms already! I don't think you are paranoid about people and their fics.

Thanks to all of you who thinks my story rocks. I love you guys!

And here's Chapter 4. YAY!!!

Disclaimer: On chapter 1

I can't believe I have used one whole page for Author Notes. Wow.

Itallics are thoughts, BTW

Ancient Urges

"I now have control of the world: I don't need you anymore, Raimundo." Wuya cackled into the face of the Brazilian.

"W-What will you do with me? Send me back to Rio?" Raimundo asked hopefully. With the next sentence, Raimundo's ray of hope faded.

"No, you insolent fool!" Wuya screamed as eerie green balls of energy gathered in her hands; as Kimiko stood there watching helplessly.

"Rai, get out of the way!" She screamed at him, but Raimundo didn't seem to hear her: he was too busy worrying what Wuya would do with the balls of energy in her hands.

Without thinking, Kimiko ran to Raimundo and threw her arms around him, determined not to let him die. Wuya hurled the energy at the two, slightly apprehensive since good help was hard to find, but a voice at the back of her head forced her to do it.

Kimiko pulled Raimundo even closer when she felt the green fire engulf them. As she was slipping out of life, Kimiko swore she felt Raimundo's hands reach round her waist and pull her close. She heard Omi and Clay calling her, but she didn't care, as long as she was with Raimundo again, just like old times. Her eyes were stinging with tears, and with her last ounce of strength, Kimiko let them roll down her cheek.

The last thing she remembered, was Raimundo's cold, dead body...

Kimiko sat bolt upright in her bed, with cold sweat on her forehead and dried tears on her cheeks.

That's the 5th time this week I've dreamt that. Typical, I go to Clay to get rid of these dreams, and instead I

find out that Rai likes me too. I suppose that's kinda good. It would be better if he was still here.

She wiped her face with the duvet, and looked out of the window beside her bed. The sun shone with brilliance made a shaft of light shine down on the floor. Kimiko could see tiny specks of dust dancing and bathing in the sun's warm glow. She got up, went over to her drawer and put on a black top with silver netting sleeves, a pair of white leggings and tied her hair into a high ponytail. Her stomach suddenly grumbled violently, reminding her that she hadn't had anything to eat for 2 days now, and so ran to the kitchen to grab some rice.

"So, Kimiko, I see you're eating again. That's darn good." Clay said to Kimiko after seeing her fill her bowl again for the 3rd time.

"Yeah, well I haven't eaten for 2 days so..." Kimiko was cut off by a loud cry of:

"Shen-Gong-Wu time people!" Dojo slithered into the room followed by Master Fung.

"A new Shen-Gong-Wu has revealed itself," Master Fung explained.

"So, what is it Master?" Omi suddenly piped up, making everyone jump.

"Ah, it's The Mirror Of Jiu Yi Qian. It can let you see into the past and possible futures. It is very useful in a showdown to predict your opponents move."

"If I am right Master, does that mean if we get the mirror, we will see Wuya's plan of world conquest?" Omi seemed desparate to get an answer.

"Correct Omi. It is very important and useful if we want to defeat Wuya."

"So, let's go already!" Dojo said as he grew into his 40 foot form. Kimiko, Omi and Clay climbed on Dojo and flew away towards the horizion.

"Ok, we're here!" Dojo as they landed on the sandy shores of Sword Beach, Normandy. The town was stretched around the coast above a solid brick wall, separating it from the beach. The sun was bright and glinted in Kimiko's eyes, not helping her search for The Mirror of Jiu Yi Qian. Omi was looking on the street above the beach, and Clay was looking on the other side of the beach. Dojo was with Kimiko, now in his mini-form and on her shoulder.

"Warm... warmer... you're getting warmer!" Dojo was directing Kimiko to the Shen-Gong-Wu. She seemed calm, but she was really quite unsettled.

I really hope Raimundo and Wuya don't turn up. It'll be really awkard. For both of us I think--

Kimiko lost her train of thought as Dojo shouted in her ear.

"Hey, daydreamer, Shen-Gong-Wu alert!" Dojo pointed towards the sea, which was sparkling a brilliant blue. Kimiko walked towards the waves and looked on the ground where The Mirror of Jiu Yi Qian was buried into the sand.

"The mirror!" Kimiko cried as a smile grew on her face, but her smile faded when a familiar warm, tanned hand appeared on top of hers.

"Hello, Kim. Nice day, isn't it?" Raimundo said with an smile on his face. Kimiko grabbed the mirror out of the sand and turned to face him.

"Listen Rai, I don't wanna fight you." She said as he approached her. Kimiko could see Clay and Omi running towards the two. It was then when she saw someone was missing.

"Where's Wuya? I thought she would want to see you lose the mirror,"

"She's busy sorting out my International footbal team. Just in time for the World Cup, too." Raimundo retorted.

"Yeah, that sounds buggier than a June-bug!" Clay said as he just caught up with them. Raimundo turned round just in time to see who gave a shout of-

"WATER!" Omi jumped and aimed a flying kick at Raimundo's head, but he dodged it just in time to punch Omi in the chest. He fell and struggled to get up, but was too weak.

"EARTH!" Clay punched Raimundo in the face so hard, it made it bleed. Kimiko was in the midst of all this, looking at her friends, and then Raimundo, finding it hard to decide who to root for.

"So, isn't it your turn?" Raimundo suddenly asked Kimiko, expecting a blow to the stomach.

"I said I wasn't gonna fight you, so I won't." Kimiko was sticking to her promise.

Raimundo suddenly, against his own will almost, as he curled his fingers into a fist and punched Kimiko in the face full-on. He didn't want to do it, but a voice in his head said that she was his enemy, so he must do it. She fell to the ground, everything around her turning into a blur.

I thought he liked me too, liked me enough to protect me from harm. I guess Clay was wrong. I guess I was wrong too...

Kimiko was knocked out, the blood running from her face running down onto the sand like a waterfall.

"KIM!" Clay shouted just as Omi got up, fully recovered.

"What did you do to Kimiko?" He cried at Raimundo, who was looking down at Kimiko on the ground.

What did I do? She wouldn't fight me, so I just punched her instead? I should have just challenged her to a showdown.

Tears started to roll down his face, as he realised what he had done to Kimiko. He picked her up bridal-style, the only thing one his mind was to tell Kimiko something important.

"What the hell do you think you're doing with Kimiko?" Clay screeched at Raimundo. Omi who was next to him stood there, mouth open. Dojo, who had been buried in the sand all this time, appeared and stared at what was happened before him.

Raimundo turned around, not caring if the Xiaolin monks saw his tears or not.

"Something I should have done when I was still at the Temple. Golden Tiger Claws!" He swiped at the air with obvious difficultly since he still had Kimiko in his arms, created a purple portal and jumped inside, Kimiko in his arms and The Mirror of Jiu Yi Qian in her pocket.

A/N: There you have it folks. Chapter 4 up and running. Please feel free to comment on the current situation. Hee, hee, I love messing with the characters.

Chinese translation:

Jiu: Past

Yi : And

Qian: Future

So, The Mirror of Jiu Yi Qian literally means The Mirror of Past and Future. A little researching goes a long way.
