Kimiko sat up in room again. She got up and went to Raimundo's room. She peeked inside, but he was just sleeping soundly. She sighed, and went back to her room. She had heard him scream so many times because of Wuya that sometimes she heard it even when it wasn't happening. She just didn't how Wuya was doing it, but she could tell it was getting worse, and her conscience was getting the better of her.
" This would all stop if YOU would just do what Master Fung said..." it told her.
Usually, she shut it up, but it was still there, nagging at the back of her brain. She knew already! She knew he wouldn't be in so much pain if she would just talk to him, and she knew that his pain was partially her fault, and she knew that she really needed to talk to him. The only thing holding her back, was her own fear.
Raimundo began to think something was seriously wrong with Kim. She was always distracted and kind of stressed. He thought maybe she was blaming herself again, which he really thought was just plain stupid, since it wasn't her fault. In the morning, after training, Raimundo went to go talk to Kim
" Kim?" he said, sitting next to her outside. She was staring straight ahead, obviously thinkng, and nursing her arm with an ice pack after Omi beat her again.
" Hmm? Oh, hey Rai..." She said smiling at him as he sat down. " You feeling better?"
" Yeah, I'm cool...What about you?"
" Me? I'm fine! Why do you ask?" she lied, wincing from pain.
" Well, I dunno..It seems like there is something reallybugging you..."
" I have no idea what you're talking about..."
" I mean like how you're always distracted and snappy and stressed..."
" SNAPPY? I am NOT snappy. " she snapped.
Raimundo gave her a blank stare.
" ...OK...Maybe I'm a little snappy..." she said realizing what she had just did.
" Yeah, well Omi's been searching that book day and night trying to figure what the heck iS wrong with you-"
" HE STILL HAS THAT STUPID THING? I THOUGHT I TOLD HIM TO TAKE IT TO THE DEEPEST DARKET WHOLE THERE WAS, DIG DEEPER, AND PUT THE BOOK IN IT!" she said in outrage. She hated that book.
" Yeah, well, he thought he might still need it. Anyways, he came up with the conclusion that it's PMS...Well, that's what he told me and Clay..."
" WHAT! I AM GONNA GET THAT LITTLE YELLOW-"
" Hey Kids, another Shen Gong Wu has just revealed itself!" Dojocut her offstanding in front of them, Clay and Omi behind him. Omi's smile faded away as he saw the angered expression on Kim's face.
" Oh dear.." he said.
" So I'm PMS-in, am I? Well let me show you how bad it is!" she said, lunging for him. Omi shrank back in fear. Clay and Raimundo held Kimiko back, struggling a bit to do so.
" Which one is it?" Rai asked, gripping her tighter as she almost wriggled free.
" The Morphing Mask." Dojo stated. " It allows it's user to change into any animal or person."
" We must hurry to get it before Wuya does, otherwise, I fear that we will be bread.." Omi said quickly hopping on Dojo as he grew in size.
" You mean toast?" Rai said.
" That too."
" Calm down..." Clay said, letting Kim go. She muttered stuff under her breath, and mounted Dojo as well.
" Well, don't waste time talking, get the Wu!" Dojo said, landing in a huge desert.
They all started looking unsuccessfully.
" Ok Dojo, all I see is sand, sand, and more sand. I'm getting darker and darker by the minute man..." Rai whined.
" I know, it is most burning hot here in this desert." Omi joined in.
" Are ya sure it's here?" asked Clay.
" Of course, who's the Wu detector here? You guys wanna try and sense it yourselves?" Dojo asked, crossing his scaly little arms.
They all shook their heads stupidly.
" That's what I thought.."
" But Dojo, could you at least give us another hint? I mean, we don't have all day. Wuya and Jack might be here any minute.." Kimiko said, looking around just to make sure that they weren't around.
" I hope they didn't get it first.." Clay said.
" They did not!" Omi said triumphantly, holding up a yellow mask.
" No wonder we couldn't find it! It blends in with the sand...Who's brilliant idea was that?" Rai said irritatedly.
Omi held it up. " Well, I have exceptional eyesight, and-"
He was interrupted by something knocking the mask out of his hand. The four of them gasped. They were surrounded by...Jack Spicer?
" Jeeze, one Jack was ugly enough..." Rai said, glaring at all of them.
" They're Jackbots...literally..." Kimiko said, rather disgusted.
" DRAGON EXCUMEI(sp?) FORMATION!" Omi shouted.
They assumed the position.
They attacked the jackbots, beating every last one of them to rubble.
" Ok, now that that's done with, where's the Shen Gong Wu?" Clay asked.
" I dunno.." Clay said again.
" Dude, why ask questions if you're gonna answer them yourself?" Rai asked. Then he gasped. There were two Clays, standing right next to eachother. The other three dragons stood, staring wide eyed at them.
" Whoa..." Kim said in shock.
" HIIIIIIIIYAAAAA!" Omi said, kicking one of the Clays.
" OW!" said the familiar raspy voice. The second Clay held his stomach.
" Just as I suspected. Wuya.." Omi stated.
" How did you know? Instincts?" Kim asked Omi.
" Actually, I guessed again, heh heh.."
Wuya cackled, and changed her form again. Then, Omi stood before himself.
They began to fight. The other Xiaolin Warriors watched in amazement. Omi was thrown down on the floor, rubbing his head.
" I should've known that not even I could not defeat myself.." he groaned.
Wuya switched back to herself smiling demonically. " Who's next?"
" STAR OF HANABI, FIRE!" Kimiko yelled. Wuya used the Changing Chopsticks to shrink down and avoid the attack. Then, she switchedto Omi and beat Kim. Then Clay, leaving only Raimundo, just as she'd wanted.
" It's too easy..." she said laughing evilly.
" TYPHOON BOOM, WIND!'
Wuy smiled at him, not flinching at all. She changed to Kimiko. A crying, badly scratched up and bruised Kimiko.
She spit out blood, tears streaking her face.
Raimundo stopped, along with the wind. He looked at the sobbing Kimiko. He gasped.
" Kim.." he said.
The real Kim lay on her back behind him. She picked her head up and saw Rai and herself.
" Oh no..." she said. " That stupid bitch..."
Rai wheeled around to Kimiko, his eyes wide in horror and sorrow.
She shook her head. " Rai..."
" RING OF THE PAST!" Wuya screeched.
Rai became weak again. Wuya started kicking him and beating him up. She was talking to him.
" You are worthless Raimundo. A horrible creature. You betrayed Kimiko. You hurt her badly. Remember that night Raimundo? How can you even look at her after what you did? You d-" Wuya was silenced by Kimiko, who had managed to get up.
" SHUTUP!" she yelled. " JHUDALLET FLIP, FIRE!" Wuya screamed in pain as the mask flew off of her face.
Kimiko grabbed the mask while Wuya was trying to catch her breath, and pulled Rai over to Dojo, who immediately grew in size. The tired monks climbed on Dojo's back, and flew off. Rai was bleeding terribly this time.
When they got back to the temple, Master Fung asked to see Kimiko again.
" Kimiko.." Master Fung said quietly.
" Y-Yes Master Fung?"
" I am most pleased that you acquired the Morphing Mask, but I am very disappointed in you Kimiko.."
Kimi hung her head.
" You did not speak to Raimundo like you assured me that you would. Wuya is still using his painful memories against him..."
" I-I'm sorry Master Fung...I just...can't.."
" Kimiko, I know that it is difficult to watch your friends go through pain. You do not want him to be angry at you, but if you do not tell him, I fear that thismay end up being disastrous. Please Kimiko, I am asking you one more time to speak to Raimundo. It is for the best. He will realize that." Master Fung said, getting up and leaving.
Kim stayed behind, staring blankly at the table. She knew Master Fung was right, but she didn't want to do it. " Don't be a baby Kim. You guys are friends. You can do this..." she thought to herself. " But what did he mean disastrous?"
A few days later, Raimundo was back to normal again. One day, after being beaten badly by Omi in training, Kimiko was walking past Rai's room. She saw Master Fung give her a sort of 'go-ahead' look. She nodded to him, and knocked on Raimundo's door.
" Come in..." Rai said, barely hearing her knock over the music in his MP3 player.
" Hey.." she said, pulling the headphones out of his ears.
" Hey!" he said, " I can pull them out myself, thank you."
Kimiko laughed. " Sorry. You know I was just messin around" she said, punching his arm playfully.
" It's funny how you expect that to hurt-OW!" he said as she punched him harder.
" So ANYWAYS, what's up Kim?" he asked, rubbing his arm.
