Chapter 6: The Black Figure
Once the black figure had finished using the ring of love he turned his head up and spotted Raimundo.
"Hey, what are you doing to her?" he yelled. The black figure didn't reply, instead he kicked Raimundo through Kimiko's door and straight into the wall. The black figure moved and stood there in front of him, just staring at him. Rai took the opportunity and kicked his legs out from underneath him. The black figure fell to the ground.
"TWISTER JUMP WIND" yelled Raimundo as a wind twister shot from his hands and blew the black figure up and hit him into the roof. The black figure fell to his knees. Rai just stood there thinking he was all that, that he had defeated the guy who was hurting Kimiko when all of a sudden he got up.
"GOLDEN TIGER CLAW" he whispered as he slashed the air and made a transportation rift, he then pushed Raimundo into it, and jumped in himself. A few minutes later Karl, Clay, Omi and Kimiko came out to see what all the noise was, only to find one of Raimundo's sweatbands lying on the floor. They ran to his room to find it empty, so they went to Master Fung.
"Master Fung, do you know where Raimundo is" they all asked at the same time.
"No young monks, I do not, maybe you should search the grounds for him" he replied. So the monks set off to look for Rai. After about 2 hours of searching and not finding any other trace of him they went to the dining room for breakfast, hoping that he would just walk in the door. Everyone except Karl and Kimiko, because they weren't caring that much because they were staring into each others eyes, and holding hands.
"I do wish that Raimundo would return" said Omi while taking a bite into his toast.
"Same here partner but I don't think those to care" whispered Clay back to Omi. "We may have to look for Rai ourselves" he whispered.
"I have to go and check my email Karl" said Kimiko as she kissed him on the cheek and went to her room.
"I will go and take a nap" said Karl as he headed to his room.
"Well little partner, it looks like its just you and me, lets go and find Raimundo" Clay said to Omi as they headed to the shen gon wu vault.
"Where am I, who are you, let me go" said Rai, struggling to break free, and failing miserably.
"So many questions, so little time" said a voice. Then Raimundo's blind fold was removed and revealed the black figure and a cave, looking just like Jacks.
"Jack, Jack Spicer, is that you, are you the black figure?" Rai asked.
"I could be" replied the figure. "You are lucky, you get to hang around here for a while until Kimiko is mine" said the figure. "And you are going to shut up and not annoy me, if you do you will suffer the consequences" he said, staring at the Brazilian boy.
Omi, Clay and Dojo were on their way, trying to look for any signs that may lead them to Raimundo, they searched far and wide, by foot on the ground, under the water, and in the sky, but no luck. Hesitantly they returned to the temple and practiced with the golden lasso again, but also thinking about where they had not looked.
"Leave Kimiko out of this, why do you want her so bad, besides she already has a boyfriend. Also let me go and I promise not to kick your but, too hard" said Rai with a smirk on his face.
"You are not in the position to be making any requests here boy, and I will have Kimiko because of the ring of love" replied the black figure. "You have also annoyed me now so suffer the pain" said the figure as he reached and grabbed a whip and went behind the tied up, hanging Raimundo. He moved his hand back slowly and whipped Raimundo hard on the back, tearing his shirt and causing him immense pain. The black figure whipped again, but this time harder, tearing even more of Rai's shirt and causing him even more pain. By the time the black figure had whipped him 5 times, he was bleeding in 4 different places and his shirt was torn and had fallen off. Rai had water in his eyes now, as the 6th whip hit him and he flinched, and again the 7th whip hit and again he flinched. After that it happened an 8th, 9th and 10th time, then the black figure had finished and used the golden tiger claw and disappeared. Rai was pouring out blood all over his back and his chest. He just hung there, head down in pain, hoping that Kimiko was safe and that Karl was looking after her so nothing would happen to her.
It was getting dark again as it did every night and all the monks except Raimundo were eating dinner.
"I am most sorry to report to you my friends that Raimundo has not been found yet" said Omi, with a tear drop forming in each of his eyes.
"Its ok little partner, we'll find him" said Clay, putting a smile on his and Omi's face.
They finished their dinner and headed for bed.
"Good night all" said Clay, Omi, Kimiko, Karl, and Master Fung.
"Night my sweet" said Karl as he pressed his lips against Kimiko's. They moved their heads apart.
"Night, love ya" she said as they both went to their rooms and went to bed. By about midnight the black figure appeared at the temple and went into Kimiko's room and used the ring of love on her, then left and went back the cave.
"Hey Raimundo" said the black figure as he re appeared inside the cave. "I've just got to do it a few more times and then she will be mine for ever" he said as he laughed an evil laugh.
"NO" he yelled, "Leave her alone" yelled Rai in reply.
"Ooh, so you like her hey, well it will be even more painful for you to watch her kiss me then" said the black figure as he got his whip again and gave Rai another 3 whips with it. "This will teach you to be annoying, and to not shut up" said the figure as he gave another 3 whips…………………..
