Dojo was slithering quite happily along the floor. Although he didn't like to admit it, he liked slithering like a snake rather than wearing his arms out all the time. However, every time a monk walked past, he would hop up onto his front legs all the same. He was on his way to Kimiko's room. He wanted to check that she was okay. Another thing he didn't really want to admit was that he quite liked the Xiaolin Dragons (Even if he did hate having to fly them everywhere).

He got to Kimiko's door and tapped with his claws on the door. He could just hear Kimiko speak in an urgent voice, before walking over. She opened the door and glanced out before closing it again. This gave Dojo just enough time to slip inside. He was about to speak when Kimiko spoke to someone outside the window.

"You can come out now," she said, "It was probably just Omi messing around."

To Dojo's horror, the person who climbed back in the window was none other than the dragon of the wind (in training).

"WHAT THE HECK?" shouted Dojo.

Kimiko looked down and gasped.

"Dojo!" she said.

Kimiko bent down to pick him up, but he dodged out of her arm's length.

"Come here you little slug!" said Kimiko, grabbing hold of his tail.

"What is he doing here?" asked Dojo, hanging upside down.

"If you shut up I'll explain!" said Kimiko.

Raimundo was looking at the dragon in great confusion.

"Raimundo? Kid? What are you doing here?" asked Dojo, not letting Kimiko speak.

Raimundo backed off.

"He doesn't know!" said Kimiko, "He doesn't remember!"

"What?" asked Dojo.

"He's got amnesia," said Kimiko, "He doesn't even remember his name."

Clay suddenly came bursting into the room.

"Master Fung's coming to see how you are!" he gasped, "What's Dojo doing here?"

"For fuck's sake!" shouted Kimiko, "Can't I get any privacy?"

"Not with language like that," said Master Fung, coming around the corner and into the room.

He suddenly froze, staring wide-eyed at Raimundo. There was a long silence in which none of them moved. Not even Dojo who was still hanging upside down from Kimiko's fist.

"Master Fung! I can explain!" said Kimiko.

"Yes," said Master Fung, "I think that you should."

He turned to Clay.

"Both of you!"


Omi was greeted by a strange sight as he sat down at the table. Master Fung walked into the room, followed by Clay, Kimiko (Still holding Dojo upside down) and finally…

"Raimundo?" asked Omi, complete shock filling his face.

"Sit." Said Master Fung.

It was almost inviting. He didn't sound angry, more…interested. Clay sat down next to him and Kimiko stood next to Raimundo.

"It's okay Rai, you can sit down," she said quietly, but he still didn't sit down until she had.

"Now," said Master Fung, "I wish for you to explain."

"It started yesterday, when they Omi and Clay ran off in the mountains," said Kimiko, "I was looking for them when I kept thinking that I was seeing someone following me. I stopped at the river and that's where Raimundo jumped out at me. I don't think he meant to hurt me, but I panicked and attacked. He was covered in blood, I couldn't see his face. But he fell in the river and when the blood washed away, I realised it was him."

"And?" asked Master Fung.

"He…you have to understand that he doesn't know anything about betraying us…he doesn't have any memory of what his name is, what he's doing here, all he remembers is his way through the cave, being tortured in the caves and…my name…" Kimiko trailed off.

"Interesting," said Master Fung.

"The only reason I hid him was that he's scared of practically everyone!" said Kimiko quickly.

She looked over at Raimundo. He was staring down at the table. He wasn't even blinking.

"I'm not sure that he's…all there…if you get it…" said Kimiko quietly so Raimundo couldn't hear.

Master Fung nodded and looked at Clay.

"I found him in Kimiko's room last night, when I went to find out why she had been locked up in there all afternoon." He explained, "And Kimiko seemed so sure that she could get through to him that I didn't want to stop her."

"Exactly who was torturing him in the caves?" asked Master Fung.

"Wuya," said Kimiko, "I think…"

"You think?" asked Clay.

"Well…he just keeps saying that he was chained up by a 'witch' who spoke about 'Xiaolin dragons'," said Kimiko, "Sound like Wuya to me."

"It's more than likely that it was Wuya," said Master Fung, "But I would rather not place blame until we're sure."

Kimiko slammed her hand down on the table.

"What's there to be sure about?" she shouted.

The next thing she knew, someone had put their hand on hers to calm her. She looked over to see Raimundo looking at her concernedly. Master Fung turned to Raimundo.

"Well young one," he said, and Raimundo looked at him blankly, "It seems you have taken a liking to young Kimiko."

Kimiko appreciated the fact that Master Fung hadn't called him Raimundo, which probably would've got him confused again.

"Ki…mi…ko…" muttered Raimundo.

He put his hands over his ears and closed his eyes. Kimiko placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Why…can't…I…remember…" said Raimundo, "Who…is…Kimiko?"

Kimiko looked at Master Fung who nodded.

"I see," said Master Fung, "You are searching for the one thing that kept you alive, but you do not realise that you've found it."

Raimundo looked at Kimiko.

"But…you're Kimiko…you said…" said Raimundo, "Are you Kimiko?"

"Yes," said Kimiko, "I'm Kimiko."

"I remember, you're Kimiko," said Raimundo, "I'm Raimundo."

Kimiko stared at him.

"What did you say?" she asked.

"I'm…Raimundo…you told me," said Raimundo.

Kimiko looked over at Master Fung.

"He's never been able to remember that before!" said Kimiko, "I must have told him ten times and that's the first time it's sunk in."

"It looks as though we're starting to break through," said Master Fung, "But we'll need to keep him safe if we don't want him to forget."

"Raimundo?" asked Kimiko, "What else do you remember?"

"Cave…chains…river…Kimiko…witch…" said Raimundo, trying to concentrate.

"He obviously remembers your name quite well," said Master Fung, "Raimundo, do you remember who the witch was?"

"…witch…Wu-ya?" he said, "Kimiko said…Wuya…"

Master Fung turned back to Kimiko.

"He remembers whatever you tell him," said Master Fung, "But on it's own it means very little."

"I know but, if he can remember facts that I tell him, then his memory must be getting better," said Kimiko.

"I do not understand," said Omi, "he only remembers what Kimiko tells him?"

"That makes sense," said Clay, "Kimiko was the first one the show him kindness in about two years. She's been the only one of us to speak directly to him properly since he arrived."

"Raimundo?" asked Omi, "Do you remember anything before the caves?"

Raimundo didn't answer; he looked like he was trying to concentrate.

"Rai?" asked Kimiko, "Did you hear Omi?"

"Omi?" asked Raimundo, "…caves…nothing…no…Omi…"

"What about Brazil?" asked Omi.

"Bra…zil?" asked Raimundo.

"Don't you remember Brazil?" asked Omi, "It was your home."

Raimundo shook his head slowly.


The woman stooped down by the lake. She couldn't pick up a scent. The water must have washed it clean away. She could probably guess where it was, but the creature didn't have any memories. How could it know? Unless…unless one them had found it? It could be getting its memory as she sat there thinking about it.

She shook her head, no point in worrying. It was too traumatised for that. It couldn't remember, unless…if she made contact inside and it awoke…

"I won't let it happen!" she spat, standing up, "I'll find before it before it comes to that!"
