Disclaimer: Just letting everyone know I don't own Xiaolin Showdown. I do however own the Sun Dragon. :)
A note from the Author:
You know, I didn't plan on writing The Fifth Dragon from Kimiko's perspective originally; it just sort of happened that way. I wanted it to be from The Sun Dragon's perspective but as I wrote, it seemed easier and better to portray the story of him from someone else's point of view.
Oh, by the way, I've already got quite a few chapters done. I just wanna see what you guys think before I release the better ones.

Chapter 1 - Dreaming Dragons
Kimiko walked through the temple's garden admiring it's beauty. It was a quite and peaceful day. No training and the boys were in the kitchen arguing over the last piece of chicken. The day didn't seem normal, though. It was bright outside. Too bright. Almost as if the sun was working double time.
It got brighter as she heard footsteps approach outside the temple walls. The door creaked and someone with a backpack over his shoulder walked in. He was engulfed in light. Kimiko squinted and covered her face. "Hey there, uh... miss. This the Xiaolin Temple?" "Miss? What? Who are you?" Kimiko called out to the figure. "I'm the Dragon of The Sun." he replied. "Sun? There's no Dragon of the Sun." "Why don't you ask your master if there is?" was the last he said.
Kimiko awoke. What was that? she thought. "Young monk," Master Fung called. "wash and get to breakfast. Your food's getting cold." Kimko showered and walked to the kitchen still rubbing sleep from her eyes. "It looks like someone didn't get enough sleep." Raimundo taunted. "Can it, Rai." Omi looked puzzled. "How does one can a sentence?" "It's an expression, Omi, anyway, I'm not the only one," Kimiko said glancing at Clay. "Not my fault. I was dreamin' a Goo Zombie was eatin' me." Clay said shuddering. Raimundo burst out laughing. "The big bad cowboy is afraid of a game?" "Yeah, well at least I'm not afraid of a little squirrel." "Have you examined a squirrel closely?" Omi defended. "Their teeth are perfectly suited for human flesh."
"Is there a problem, my young monks?" Master Fung asked. "No," they all said. "Very well. Now that we have identified the reason for Clay's lack of sleep, let us examine Kimiko's." Kimiko blushed. "Oh, it's nothing. I just had a dream." "Dreams are a source of great knowledge. They convey wisdom and answers to problems. What was it about?" "Dreams are a source of power?" Omi butted in. "I must master them!" Omi silenced himself as Master Fung looked at him. "I was just walking around the temple" Kimiko continued. "and this boy approached-" "Oooh a boy. This should be good." Raimundo chuckled. "Your already on thin ice with me today, Rai, now zip it. Anyway, he was radiating bright light. We talked for a few seconds and told me to ask Master Fung-" she paused. "Ask me what?" Master Fung said. "If a Dragon of the Sun existed. Does one?" Master Fung let out a long sigh. "Come with me, my young monks."
Master Fung led them to the library and retrieved five scrolls. He unfolded four of them. They each contained information on the four dragons. Fire, earth, water and wind. He unfolded the fifth scroll. It was the Sun. "There was indeed supposed to be a fifth dragon," Master Fung said looking over the scroll. "but he or she never revealed himself." "You mean he?" Raimundo said with a grin. Kimiko gave him a glare. "Why not?" she then asked. "I was never sure. Extreme emotions of hate or saddness can stop a dragon from revealing themself." "On purpose?" Omi asked. "No, no. They wouldn't know. Their emotions would simply mask them from me." "So you're saying the Dragon of the Sun was really sad or mad when you went looking for him?" Kimiko questioned. "Yes. That could be it." "Why don't you go looking for him now?" "I had never found time to meditate on this Dragon after Wuya and Jack began the search for the Shen Gong Wu. Searching for a Dragon can take some time. Besides, the Dragon's spirit has chosen you to find him. You must search in your dreams."
