Hey! I'm back I don't own anything except the plot and Zeloth, she's probably the only OC I'm going to have because it's going to focus more on Kimiko/Jack from now on.

Also thanks to TamerTerra,for the stellar review.

I read through the last chapter and I understand about the POV's I have therefore done this one differently. I'm doing different POV's per chapter with a short overlap, hope it helps. ALSO! technically im writing in 3rd person, so not a POV, sorry if im confusing you...

This one's mostly Jacks POV

Chapter 3: The Plot Thickens

If the Greek gods had been watching what went on between the two challengers in the showdown they would have laughed. It was plain for all to see that they were perfect for each other. Then again, mortals seemed to miss these things.

It was dusk by the time Jack returned. He unlocked the back door to his parent's house and went inside, the memory of Kimiko's confused face still on his mind. He groaned and slammed the door behind him.

He turned to see his mother standing in front of him, looking at him with a worried expression on her face.

Ha. It was amazing she even noticed, let alone cared, she was usually to busy 'entertaining'.

He quickly fixed a glare on his face and pushed past her, making for the steps to the basement, the entrance to his sanctuary. He heard her calling behind him but he ignored it and took off down the steps.

Jack had cleared out the basement two years back, putting a sofa some books and a TV set down there, just to make it look like that was why he went down there. He strode over to the opposite wall where a black Japanese tapestry hung, covering half of the wall, floor to ceiling

He pushed this to one side and opened the old wooden door, in front of him was a small passage before reaching a tough and battered looking steel door.

His pace quickened as he reached it, knowing that what lay beyond it was truly his own.

He pushed the door open to see a quick flurry of purple rush towards him; he flinched before hearing an ear splitting screech.

'WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING BOY?!

YOU COULD HAVE LOST US THE SHEN-GONG-WU FOR THAT WENCH!

ARE YOU COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND?!

WELL WHERE IS IT?

YOU'D BETTER NOT HAVE LOST IT YOU STUPID BOY!'

Well it used to be his own anyway.

He let out a small sigh before taking the Kite out of his jacket and silently placing it on the table, not bothering to think of a cutting reply to Wuya's outburst.

He eyed a nearby chair and slumped back in it, taking a moment to close his eyes.

'WELL?'

He opened his eyes again to glare at Wuya's ghostly form.

'Well what?' he spat out.

He received an incredulous look from Wuya who quickly reverted to her furious state.

'You know what I'm talking about, Jackie,' stated Wuya slowly, her voice deadly calm.

'No? Well, let me remind you, YOU TURNED BACK AS YOU WERE WINNING TO CHECK OUT THAT GIRL! THEN YOU ATTEMPT TO RESCUE HER FROM A HARMLESS WAVE THAT WOULD'VE MEANT YOU WON.!'

Jack had been stewing since he'd left Greece and this was enough to push him off the edge.

He stood up at once and the chair was knocked over behind him

'I WAS NOT CHECKING HER OUT!' he screamed

'I DON'T EVEN LIKE KIMIKO!'

His voice cracked, he realised how stupid it sounded, there was no way he didn't like Kimiko, not after what he'd done.

The way she walked, talked everything. Jack let out a groan, he had fallen and it was too late to get up again, that's why he'd saved her, he couldn't bear to see her hurt, couldn't leave her in danger.

Wuya let out a low laugh.

'Finally dawned on you has it?

I hope you're very happy knowing that in the next few hours, for you see Jack, I don't need you anymore, nor do I need that pathetic kitten girl, I've already got rid of her and this will probably finish you off.

With what power I had left I have brought forth the spirit of Zeloth, a Haelin witch with equal power to myself. All that's left to do now is to put her into a new body. My dear Jack you've provided me with a perfect solution. Kimiko will make an excellent body for 2 reasons:

1) We could possibly get one over on the opposition and,

2) It would hurt you a great deal, IM sick to death of your pathetic whining and failure.

So you see Jackie its all your fault and you cant do a damn thing about it!'

Jack stood still, shell-shocked his face a mask of disbelief. Slowly his expression changed, he said quietly

'You can't do that, you don't have the power, how could you make her go through with it? You aren't exactly solid yourself.'

Wuya looked furious, he'd ruined her moment of gloating, the moments that Jack himself loved so much.

'Listen to me, stupid boy I don't need her to comply, nor do I need extra power, its ALL cared for. Understand?'

She didn't wait for an answer

'I'll give you some time to take in what I've just said, it must be hard for you to comprehend,

I expect to see you later trying to pathetically defend the opposite side, after all they are everything you're not, they were winners you still are a loser,' Wuya paused here to give a dark cackle.

'Why ever would she be interested in you? After all, you are the bane of her existence...

Meanwhile

'Oh my god, Sasha I know but what does it MEAN?'

Kimiko was alone in her room, lying on her mat and speaking into a mobile phone.

'No way that's just NO! I mean JACK, he's the bane of my existence isn't he?

Well no, I don't hold anything against him personally I mean, the only times we fought either I won or he helped me then ran off.

Well, he has really pale skin with the most amazing red hair, it looks all spiky, I wonder what it feels like...

shut UP sasha,

I just,

what?

Oh yes, he this cool gothic dress-sense with these cool spiral goggles he keeps around his head,and black outlines round his eyes, maybe eyeliner, with a black line coming down on his left eye onto his cheek that looks about three centimetres long, maybe half an in- No, I just noticed...'

Kimiko paused then remembering what had happened earlier that day, replaying it all in her mind,stopping on the look of shame on Jack's face as he took off. The way that she'd felt that she would have given anything just to go with him, to fly off together towards the setting sun...

She was dragged back to earth as she heard a rather pissed off Sasha screaming 'hello?' down the phone.

'I'm still here Sash, I think you're right, I do like him.

Hell, I like him a lot.

I don't know if this was any good or not, PLEASE tell me,
