A.N: Thanks for the reviews! I didn't really like that last chapter, but I ma glad you guys did! I apologize once again for the typos that may be in this chapter. Trying to think of another Fanfic to write once I finish this one. I need an outlet for my oh-so-vivd-imagination. Forgive for not updating sooner!
" AAAHHH! STOP IT! PLEASE! SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!" Omi said waving is arms frantically.
Kim started to giggle, and had to pull away. Raimundo gave an irritated look to Omi, while Clay just chuckled. He turned back to Kim.
" Wait...If you saw that then...You must've seen..." his voice trailed off.
Kim's expression became serious. She nodded. " Yeah..I did..."
" I don't get it though!"
" Me either. I don't know what happened. The whole thing was kind of weird." She replied.
" What?" Clay and Omi said in unison.
" Nothing." Kim and Rai returned.
" We need to talk." Kiim said grabbing Raimundo's hand and pulling him inside the temple. She pulled him all the way to her room, and shut the door. She turned the lock and whirled around to face him.
" Do we have to talk? I mean, there are soooo many OTHER things we could be doing." He said grinning.
Kimiko sighed quickly and rolled her eyes. " Later. We seriously do need to talk." She sat down on her bed, and Raimundo plopped down next to her, giving a disappointed groan.
She smiled and looked away. " Don't pout."
" Why not?" He crossed his arms.
" Because, it's cute, and we need to TALK."
"Oooooooooooohhhhh." Rai said smiling widely. He made a pouty face again.
" Seriously! Stop!" She said, hitting him playfully.
" Ok, Ok. Well, what do we have to talk about?"
" Well...What...What happened yesterday? I mean, First it was you, then I grabbed your hand and-"
" Just can't keep your hands off me."
" SHHH! Anyways, yeah, I grabbed your hand and it started affecting me too. Then you snap out of it, and I snap out of it and-"
" We see a buncha weird stuff that never happened. Well, except the kiss, but yeah, besides that."
" Yeah...So...What did you see exactly?" Kim said slowly.
Raimundo looked down. " Umm...I saw us kissing...And, a big green light...and Me...and you...and..."
Kimiko's eyes fell to her blankets as well. " Did...Did you see me, holding my stomache?"
Rai nodded slowly.
" And..I was bleeding too, wasn't I?"
He nodded again.
Kimiko sighed. " And...You saw yourself...choking someone right?"
" Y-Yeah..."
She gulped, and her eyes started to water. She blinked it away quickly. After what seemed like forever to Raimundo, she finally spoke.
" It was...Me...Wasn't it?"
" Yes..." Raimundo looked up at her. She looked almost sick with sorrow. She cleared her throat.
" B-But..None of those things ever happened." Raimundo assured her.
" Yeah, they didn't...But, whatif they WILL happen?" she looked up at him.
" Wha...?"
" Whatif in the process of you overcomig your past, you saw the future?"
"Kim, that's crazy."
"Is it? Neither of us remembered kissing eachother, but we both saw it, and itJUST happened." she pointed out.
" Well...Yeah...but still. I was the one overcoming my past, so why did you see it?"
" I...Don't know. Maybe it has something to do with why my worst memories came back when I touched your hand."
" Well, if you were struggling with your past too, then why did you snap out of it when I pulled you up. You've never evem talked about your past, and that was the first time you've ever felt the effects of the Ring."
Kimiko looked down at her bed spread again. " I dunno why that happened. But I think I might be right about this one."
" No way. I wouldn't do that...um...again. AND, I dunno why you were bleeding and stuff, but I will never let anything like that happen."
Kimiko didn't look up. She stared at her bed, her face still slightly sad. Raimundo cupped a finger under her chin and pointed her face up at his.
" Seriously. Chill, ok?"
She nodded unconvincingly. Raimundo gave her a blank stare.
" Ok, Ok." she said laughing. " I'm chillin, i'm chillin, don't worry."
" Ok, good. Now." He made a pouty face.
" Oh my gosh." Kimiko said, rolling her eyes.
" What? We talked already!"
" BUT, we still gotta talk about us."
" Oh jeeze.." Raimundo huffed and crossed his arms again.
" Well, we gotta talk about this. What are we now?"
" Uh, people."
" DUH! But I mean, us. Are we friends...or more?"
" Well, I dunno what kind of friends we would be after this..."
" I know...But it would be weird if we were...more than friends..."
" Can't we be friends that make out?"
" NO!" she said punching him in the arm. " That is so...sleazy...not happening at all."
" Ok, ok didn't have to hit me."
" I'm sorry. But we gotta choose. One or the other."
" Well..we could be both..."
" WHAT?"
" No not like that! I mean, we could go out, but still have the same type of relationship, just a bit different.."
" You mean like we make out and stuff?" Kim asked with an eyebrow raised.
"YEAH! That's it!"
Kimiko laughed. " I guess it'll work, but if we get like a bump or something, then we gotta really decide."
" Fine, whatever. Can we kiss now?"
" Is that all that's on your mind?"
Raimundo smiled widely and stupidly.
" Well, no, we need to start off slower." Kimiko joked.
"WHAT? Nuh-uh!" he whined. " No we dont!"
" Yes we do, that's how it goes." She insisted, trying not to laugh.
" Uh-uh! We were friends first so we're like 3 years ahead! We already know stuff about eachother!"
" Yes, but we can ALWAYS learn more."
" Well, what do you wanna know? I can answer right here and now!"
" What's your favorite color?"
" Don't have one."
" What's your favorite food?"
" Whatever my mom makes, she cooks best."
" What are your hobbies?"
" OH JEEZE!"
" Answer the question."
" Fighting evil, getting Wu, playing videogames, and blah blah blah."
" That's doesn't count."
" Oh come on KIM!"
She laughed. " Ok, Ok, sorry. Just messing with you. We can kiss."
" Nope, now I don't want to." Rai turned away from her.
" What?"
" You heard me. I don't even wanna kiss you now."
Kimiko giggled. She brought her lips to Rai's ear.
" You don't?"
" Nope..."
She turned his head to face her. She delicately ran her finger over his lips.
" Are you sure?"
" Y-Yup..."
She brought his face close to hers, allowing her lips to brush softly against his.She looked into his emerald eyes.
" Ok." she said, turning away and grabbing a magazine. " Have it your way."
Raimundo looked stunned for a moment, and then annoyed.
" You're mean."
" What? You're the one who doesn't wanna kiss me, remember?"
He rolled his eyes. " Well, NOW I do."
She smiled sitting up next to him. He leaned in and kissed her. His lipped traveled from her lips, to her neck, which he began to suck on very lightly. Kimiko let out a very faint moan of pleasure and shivered a little. She felt him smile, and slapped a hand to her forehead.
" Taku! Shutup Kimiko!" She thought.
" It's ok to admit that I'm good..." Rai said grinning in satisfaction.
She rolled her eyes. " Whatever." she got up and went to her dresser. She looked in the mirror and gasped. She started wiping off her neck.
" What the hell?"
" What?"
" You were only doing that for like 3 seconds!" She said in horror.
" Well, I could go longer-"
" NO! I mean, look!" she said, pointing at her neck.
Raimundo got up and looked at it, first with concern. The looks changed to pride when he saw what she was talking about.
" Would you look at that." he said casually.
" DON'T ADMIRE YOUR FINE WORK!"
" Chill out girl, it's just a hickey-and little one at that."
" I know but-"
" But NOTHING! Besides, you have enough makeup to cover fifty of them."
" Well, this is the last one..."
" That's what you think." He joked.
" Oh really? " she laughed.
It was sort of weird with Rai and Kimi going out now, but the others got used to it. Well, except Omi. He was still very uncomfortable with it. A person wouldn't know they were even going out by the way they argue, but they would find out when things got settled with a kiss. The next few days were spent with them training and trying to find ways to get rid of Wuya, but it was hard, since none of them had any ideas. They began to grow more and more nervous as they knew time was running out, and Wuya (despite her hanging around Jack) was NOT stupid. They just didn't realize how soon Wuya was gonna strike.
One night, Raimundo and Kimiko were sleeping Rai's bed. They weren't supposed to be, but they did anyway. Raimundo woke up in the night and looked down at Kimiko. He watched her chest rise and fall, and kissed her on her forehead. He stroked her cheek gently, and got up to go use the rest room. He turned around one last time to make sure she didn't wake up or fall out of the bed like last time, and walked out.
The halls were dark, and filled with the sounds of Omi, Clay, and Dojo snoring. He could barely see, and nearly walked into stuff a bunch of times. Suddenly, he got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomache. He started walking faster, but then stopped. It wasn't that he had to go to the bathroom. Something was wrong. Terribly wrong. He wheeled around and started walking quickly back to his room. Then jogging. Then running. The closer he got, the more he sensed it. He went into his room and flung the door open. He gasped at what he saw, his eyes filled with fury.
Wuya was standing over the peacefully sleeping Kimiko, eyeing her greedily.
" What the hell are you doing here?" he asked.
Wuya spun to face him. She sniggered at him. " Calm down Raimundo. I'm not after you."
" That still doesn't explain WHY YOU ARE HERE."
" Isn't it obvious?" she said, turning back to Kimiko.
" Wuya, you are just a little too close to the Kimiko, now back away and I'll give you a head start." he said glaring at her.
Wuya smiled at Kimiko. Then, she turned to Raimundo.
"Youcan't stop me you worthless little nothing. I suggestYOU back away or else. We wouldn't want anything to happen to our belovedKimiko would we?" Wuya said, and eviltoothy grin on her face.
Raimundo kicked Wuya in the stomache, and watched fall to the ground and hit it hard. He kicked her in her side as she gasped for air.
" Raimundo, you fool.."she said. Shereached for Kimiko's hand.
" DON'T TOUCH HER!" he screamed,grabbing Wuya by the hair and pulling her up. He punched her in the nose, causing her to bleed terribly. Wuya held her nose, bloodcovering her hand.
"Raimundo...You..Yo-" Raimundocut her off by slamming her hard into the wall. Wuya screamed with pain.
" Stupid Boy..."
He gripped her around her neck and started choking her. She gasped and pleaded with him to let her go.Hestaredloathfully at her, squeezing even harder.
"Raimundo..." She gasped.Her fearful eyes turned deceitful. She smiled demonically. " Stupid fool! Thinking you could defeat Wuya!"
" What?" he said, not understand.He squeezed harder, but it didn't seem to affect her.
" Just open your eyes Raimundo, oractually, just listen..."
Raimundo eyed her angrily. Then, he heard a sound. It was someone gaspingforair. They were choking, but it wasn't coming from Wuya. He looked at the witch who wasjust grinning at him. Then, heard something. Theperson managed to choke something out.
" R-Rai.." was all he heard. His eyes widened. Suddenly, they popped open, and heheard Wuyacackling.
Helooked around,and then he saw it. It was Kimiko! He hadn't been choking Wuya, it was a dream. He was choking Kimiko!
" Kim!" he said, letting her go. She dropped onto the ground and gasped for air. She coughedand sputtered, unable to catch her breath. Her nosehad bledall down her shirt, all over the floor, and all overRai's hands.
" KIM!"Heknelt down next to her. She looked at him, her eyes wide with fear.He hung his head. " I-I'msorry..."
" What on earth has happened?" Omi asked, standing in the doorwaywith Clay and Dojo.
" Nothing, just get Master Fung. Kimi needs first aid."Rai said, helping Kim up.
" I told you...I knew this was gonna happen.The visions, remember?" She said slowly.
Raimundo shook his head. " No! No!"
Kimiko shook hers weakly and looked up at him with woebegone eyes. She nodded.
He ran a hand over her cheek. " Kim, I am so sorry..."
" It's not your fault... It's that witch, I know it.." she said smiling weakly. She fell unconscious into his arms.
" What has happened here?" Master Fung asked upon seeing them.
"Uh...Uh...Uh..."Rai stammered.
Master Fung nodded to a couple of Monks. They took Kimiko away to get first aid.
"Raimundo, what has happened here?"
" Umm...Well...see,I had a dream...A dream that Wuya as trying to get Kim, and so i fought her...andI was choking her...And I didn't know i was dreaming, And wuya was talking to me...And then when I opened my eyes, I was choking Kim, not Wuya... And Wuya was laughing..."
Master Fungrubbed his chin in thought.
" Can you explain this Master Fung?" Omiinquired.
"Yes...But not now...It is not time...Just go back to your rooms and sleep...From nowon, Kimikostays in her own room..." he replied.
They nodded, and did as they were told, although no one could really sleep.
A.N:I know right? This is just so weird!Don't worry, the plot will unfold. I think i'm almost done. As for a sequel, well, depending on the ending, I may write one. Taku means Dammit in japanese(so i heard). Thanks for reading! I hope this chapter was good. I feel like i'm slacking or something, but you guys actually like the ones that I think are very sucky...Hmm...Irony...heh...
