A/N: hi everyone I am really sorry I didn't update sooner (I am trying to update twice a week) I have been in the world of Cornish pasties, Surfing and clotted cream... that's right CORNWALL I can surf now, standing up for about 5 secs and I can do one knee easily... well on with the chapter and HAPPY HALLOWEEN even though I don't celebrate it!!! By the way one Kimiko and Raimundo ARE 19 and in chapter 6, anyone who noticed that Raimundo woke Kimiko up early in the morning to watch the sun RISE and then realised that Kimiko cried herself to sleep watching the STARS well done... it took me a while to notice my mistake!!!

Disclaimer: ok I do not own Xioalin Showdown and anyone who bugs me about it again will be shot with my very special bazooka ha ha!!!

Chapter 9

Raimundo felt the warm, harmless water swallow him up into oblivion of questions, he was trapped in his own thoughts, his eyes tight shut, he wanted it to be a dream, what had just happened? Raimundo's head broke the surface of the water, to him it felt like glass smashing and breaking his heart. He faced Kimiko, expecting to see her puzzled face but was met with a sad, astonished face.

"Kim... what just happened?" Kimiko looked at her hands, which were disappearing rapidly. A tear slipped down her face, as though a river down a soft, gentle valley, it fell towards the water, but no ripples or slash was made, it went straight through.

"I-I can't believe that she did it" Kimiko stuttered.

"Who... did what Kim, tell me" Raimundo inquired.

"Wuya... she told me that if I left her... she would..." Kimiko couldn't finish, she was overpowered by emotion, tears filling her eyes and spilling down her face to the smooth water which remained smooth. Raimundo stared at her.

"S-She had total power over all the Shen- Gon- Wu the she owns... including me..." Kimiko was cut off.

"Oh Kim she doesn't own you... no one owns you" Raimundo reassured, but Kimiko shook her head.

"She told me that if I left her, she would..." Kimiko paused "do this" a dramatic silence followed her statement, it just didn't seem real to Raimundo. After a long period of time staring it the water, Raimundo spoke,

"But" he began "Kim... you can't go, I-... I love you, I will love you forever... you're my angel Kim... you are" Tears began to fall down his face, Kimiko looked at him and followed his hand towards his shell necklace she had given him, she put her hand on hers that he gave to her. Raimundo pulled his off and was about to throw it away, but Kimiko put her hand on his and closed his hand on it, she looked at him, silent tears falling down her face. Kimiko began to fade away, fast. She looked at Raimundo, sobbing now and then she was gone. Raimundo looked at the necklace and found himself crying silently.

"Don't w-worry Kim wherever you are I will find you... I promise" Raimundo whispered, he looked up at the stars "I love you" he shouted out "I love you" he repeated quietly and he walked out of the water and onto the innocent sand...

A/N: well there you have it a romantic chapter and yes I do suck at romance... and fighting at that matter, but everything else I can do! C U bye (wink)
