A/N:

Omi is walking outside spicydonut's house, and suddenly all hell breaks loose. Omi can hear spicydonut shouting and banging, and goes to investigate, Orb of Tornami ready just in case.

He bears witness to the horrible sight of... SPICYDONUT BANGING HER HEAD AGAINST HER DESK AND HER LAPTOP?!?!?! Oh wait, she always does that.

Sd185: Damn BANG stupid mind BONG!

Omi: What has caused you shoutiness and banginess, spicydonut???

Sd185: (clutching head in pain) I can't believe I embarrassed myself on the net like that!!!

Omi: How did you embarrass yourself to make you so angry?

Sd185: I thought that I wrote the first XS poem, but OF COURSE, like I always do, I miss out the greatest poem ever written!!! LWP's Warrior of Earth! Sorry hun, but it's on the second page now and I only checked the first page. OOOOPS!!! I am so sorry about that hun! I AM SO STUPID!!! (bangs head some more)

Omi: Do not trouble yourself like this, spicydonut. Here, have this. (hands spicydonut aspirin)

Sd185: Where did you get this?

Omi: Your Dad leaves stuff lying around everywhere! (spicydonut looks at him funny and takes it)

Sd185: Thanks! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I feel a lot better, but it's made me sugar-high!!!! Let's answer the reviews from Chapter 5 quickly before I do something stupid!

Omi: Like that man who dressed up as Batman and climbed on Buckingham Palace?

Sd185: Precisely Omi, precisely.

To DerryBabe: Hey hun! Thank you so much for your idea! You don't know how long I was speculating over ideas until your brill self came along!!! Thanks! And writers block SO sucks!!!

To DeathRealm: Hey! Thanks very much! I'm not that great an author, because you are better!

To Divine-Red-Crayon: It is an interesting spell but I couldn't think of anything else that was good and rhymed with witch!!! So, I'm afraid you're stuck with it.

To Rune-Spirit: Xander is cute and funny, just to let you know!!! Can I have that pic signed as well? And your wish is my command! Rai/Kim is in this chappie! Hoorah, finally, I've been dying to put some in my story for ages!

To Jadebell: It wasn't that good a curse, was it? I made it up and translated it on Google in about 2 minutes!!! Talk about quick thinking! And I am so mad at Cartoon Network as well!!! I miss XS so much!!! (twitch twitch) Stupid withdrawal symptoms!!!

To DerryBabe: Hiya hun! I'm sorry, but why did you send me two reviews??? Anyway, you are superior to me! I hope Jack does start behaving more after the wax strips! I hate those damn teachers! And you're gonna get your kissing scene in this chapter, even though I'll probably muck it up! I can't write romance too well! Oh well, I'll try.

To TamerTerra: I make the chapters as long as I can, and I CAN'T HELP IT IF I GET WRITER'S BLOCK A LOT!!! AHHHH! (starts to bang head again)

To half vamp: Yeah, SEASON 2 WHY AREN'T YOU HERE?!?!? The praying didn't work unfortunately, but if you pray a little more, a ton of bricks might just fall on Mrs Drennan with a little help from me and pinkmonkey99... heh heh heh!!!

Sd185: Hmm, for once I'm lost for words. Since I have nothing interesting or slightly amusing to say, on with the chapter!!!

Disclaimer: Must I bother with this??? IT'S ON THE FIRST CHAPTER!!!

Ancient Urges

"Hey. You OK?" A warm, familiar voice sounded at the cave entrance, making Kimiko jump and automatically get into her fighting stance, but as soon as she saw who it was, she relaxed.

"Yeah," Why is he acting so nice now and not, well, punchy and fighty? Does he regret it? No, never. This is Raimundo, he regrets nothing.

Raimundo walked into the cave, and suddenly realised that Kimiko's cheeks were glistening with dried tears, and felt a pang of guilt in his stomach.

"Oh god, Kim! What happened? Did someone come in here and do something to you?" The worry in Raimundo's voice made Kimiko burst into tears. Raimundo rushed over to her with a look of guilt in his eyes, and threw his arms around Kimiko and pulling her close. She dug her face into his shoulder, crying her eyes out.

"Sshhh, it's ok. You're scaring me, Kim. Really, you are." Raimundo stroked her hair, comforting her. Kimiko cried into his chest, tightening her arms around his waist.

"Sorry Rai, but I just missed moments like these back at the Temple. It's been real quiet since you've gone," Kimiko managed to say in-between sobs.

"I know, I miss them too," Raimundo said. Kimiko looked up at him, getting lost in his forest green eyes.

"Really?" Kimiko asked Raimundo, amazed at what he had just said. Raimundo wasn't one to express his true feelings. Any feelings, at that. Kimiko felt her eyes sting with tears again.

"Yeah, of course. Do you think I didn't like getting up in the middle of the night to stop your crying? I hated that, hearing you cry about being homesick." Raimundo lifted Kimiko's face by her chin and wiped off the tears. "I want to show you something," Raimundo took Kimiko's hand and cried,

"Golden Tiger Claws!", and dragged himself and Kimiko through the purple portal that had appeared in mid-air.

Oh god, what's happening? Does Rai really like me? Then why did he punch me? Oh, I guess I'll never know.

In Rio de Janeiro, on the cliff in 'In the flesh'

Raimundo jumped out of the portal first, followed by Kimiko, still being held by Raimundo.They were at a cliff, with a town on a beach below. The sea was glittering blue, with the sun reflecting of its surface.

"Where are we?" Kimiko asked Raimundo, who had now sat down on the edge of the cliff. He looked towards the sea, and then the town. Kimiko sat down beside him and looked at him, worrying about his silence.

"This is Rio," Raimundo pointed to the small town.

"It's beautiful," Kimiko said, "Why are we here? Are you homesick or something?"

"I just wanted some reassurance before I told you something." Raimundo said to Kimiko, who was looking out to the sea, the wind slightly waving her hair. She's beautiful when she's relaxed and calm. I gotta tell her!

Kimiko looked at him, and realised he was staring at her as well. She looked down and blushed slightly.

"What is it, Rai? You know you can tell me anything,"

"Well, it's just that, the real reason I left is, well it wasn't because of being a Xiaolin Warrior or anything, it was because... of you," Raimundo turned to face Kimiko, who had a look of pain on her face. Raimundo put his arm around her shoulder.

"No, you didn't do anything, it's because, I was afraid that if I went any later, you would be hurt. The thing is, I was planning on telling you this before I left, but I might as well tell you now. The truth is Kim, that, I love you. I really do, and I wouldn't want anything to hurt you ever." Kimiko looked at Raimundo and saw in his face that he wasn't kidding.

"You... do? Really? Wait, then why did you punch my lights out in France?" Kimiko felt she needed to know the real answer to this question she had been dying to ask.

Raimundo saw in Kimiko's eyes that this had been troubling her all day. "I wanted to bring you here, but I knew you wouldn't come freely, so I had to do that." He stroked Kimiko's cheek tenderly, being careful not to hurt her bruise.

Kimiko was still reeling from Raimundo's confession. "I love you too, Rai. I've been missing you like crazy at the Temple. Omi and Clay are good company, but I still miss you every day. It's been a living hell without you there."

"I feel the same Kim. I missed you so much..." Raimundo said as he leaned in towards Kimiko's face, and pressed his lips against hers. Kimiko draped her arms around his neck, and Raimundo put his hands around her waist and pulled her closer. Raimundo started to unbutton Kimiko's tunic, and she took off his shirt. Raimundo broke the kiss and stared into Kimiko's deep, jet black eyes. He felt as if he could drown in them.

"Raimundo," Kimiko whispered, running her fingers through his brown hair, leaning in for another kiss. They fell to the floor, and were caught in a moment of pure bliss. That is, until a huge gust of wind blew and they heard several cries of "KIMIKO TOHO!"

A/N: Well, there you have it folks. Chapter 6 is up. I know I should change the rating to PG-13 after Raimundo's and Kimiko's little...'fling'... but I can't be bothered. I probably will in the end. And you don't have to say that I can't write romance in your reviews, I know that already. Love ya!!!
