Yay! More reviews! Thank you, Kosmic, Kitty Nikki Chow, Mia Valentine, Deaf Lizgon, awsum-loser, and Michelleium for your reviewing! 

Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown or any of its characters. I've already mentioned that, but I figure I'll put up a lot of disclaimers anyways because I keep remembering.

This chapter is longer than the previous ones… not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Anyways, up for you readers is 'The Bow and Arrows of Celestia'.

Raimundo woke up early, for no reason. He decided he probably couldn't fall back asleep, so he paced around a little bit.

Suddenly, he had an idea. He was still wondering about last night, and Kimiko… he wondered what she thought about what happened. Was she mad at him for waking her up? Was she just worried? He walked out of the sleeping quarters and into the Shen Gong Wu vault. He walked down the rows of stairs and finally came to the right drawer. From it, he drew the Mind Reader Conch. He could hear the others stirring awake, and he knew this was his chance.

"Mind Reader Conch!" Raimundo said, in a soft voice just so the sleeping apprentices could not hear him. He heard Kimiko's thoughts as he walked back up the stairs.

Wow, I must have really fallen asleep after all. I guess it was because I finally admitted, at least to myself, that I love Raimundo…it kinda seems like a big weight falling off because I kept thinking about it. But I could never admit to anyone else, what if Raimundo will hate me?

Raimundo suddenly stopped, his face slightly red, and then shoved the Conch back in the drawer. The others were now walking out of the rooms they were in… Raimundo had to act fast. He ran up the stairs of the vault and tried to look like he was just out for a walk. But now he was extremely cheerful. Kimiko liked him!

"Raimundo! What have you been doing so early in the morning?" Omi asked.

"Oh, uh, nothing… I was just… um… going for a walk?" Raimundo asked, a little hopefully. He knew it was lame, but he didn't have another excuse.

"Hey pardner', how 'bout we all jus' train for a while, since we're up early and we need sum practice?" Clay said.

"Indeed! That is an excellent idea, Clay!" Omi exclaimed eagerly.

"We haven't tried out the Halberd of Aki yet, have we…?" Raimundo asked.

"Nope. But since I'm the one who won it, I think I should have a go at it first," Kimiko said. "We still don't know what it does yet though."

Kimiko fumbled the Shen Gong Wu drawers and finally came upon the Halberd. She yelled, "Halberd of Aki- Fire!" the Halberd arose and shot huge, vivid red flames at the bags she had thrown it at, and they burst immediately.

"Check this out! This is so cool!" Kimiko yelled, excited.

"Whoa, Kimiko!" Clay said. "Can I jus' try tha' Shen Gong Wu for a sec?"

"Sure, Clay. Here you go."

"Halberd of Aki- Earth!" Clay shouted. He stuck the Halberd into the ground, and the earth around it split in two. Sand and dirt spilled out in an extravaganza of beige.

"Whoaya!" Clay exclaimed.

"Um, can I try that next?" Raimundo asked. "That is one cool Shen Gong Wu and judging from what I saw, it works well with all our elements."

"Sure, why not, Rai?" Kimiko said. She hid her nervousness with her casual way of talking to people. It helped, and nobody seemed to notice.

"All right… Halberd of Aki- Wind!" Raimundo shouted. Suddenly, many tornados came out of the clouds and swirled, targeting a nearby tree, which was ripped to shreds almost instantly. "This is great!"

"Now may I please have my turn?" Omi said. All of them knew that so far, Omi was the strongest Xiaolin Apprentice and without his help they couldn't have gotten all the Shen Gong Wu that they had now.

"Ok, here ya go." Raimundo tossed it at Omi, who leaped into the air and caught it.

"Halberd of Aki- Water!" Omi yelled into the air. A huge wave of water hit the sky, rising above the clouds. Suddenly it all showered down on them, and the cold water felt good because it was such a hot day.

"Nice!" Kimiko said, smiling at the way the water felt.

Suddenly, Dojo came scampering towards them with a scroll in his hand. A scroll of Shen Gong Wu…

"Hey kids! A new Shen Gong Wu has just revealed itself! Two, actually. One's called the Arrow of Celestia. The other is the Bow of Celestia. Celestia is, like Aki, one of the greatest Xiaolin warriors. Celestia worked with Aki and 2 other Xiaolin Warriors to fight the Heylin side. These four Shen Gong Wu always reveal themselves together, or at least close…In fact, they were alive before I was born. Aki was the one who trained Dashi to such great strength- Grand Master! Just imagine that! Anyways, the Arrow of Celestia allows its user to shoot arrows of any element at their opponent. And these arrows aren't any normal arrows. Their power is drawn from the heavens… Enough talk, we gotta hurry if we want to beat Jack to it. Get on my back, everyone, we're heading towards Antarctica."

Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko and Clay put their coats on as they saddled onto Dojo. Dojo lifted himself into the air, heading into the dark clouds. They rode for about an hour. The air kept getting colder and colder as they went further, which signaled that they were getting closer to Antarctica. Finally, Dojo flew downwards and landed, letting the monks get off of his back.

"Look!" Omi cried, pointing to a large chunk of ice that had something inside. "The Bow and Arrow of Celestia!"

"Stand back, guys!" Kimiko yelled. "Halberd of Aki- Fire!" The Halberd's fire rose and took the form of a dragon, whose fiery head launched at the ice that was surrounding the mystical Bow and Arrow. The ice shattered into thousands of pieces, and the dragon vanished into thin air. Kimiko hurried towards the Shen Gong Wu, hoping that Jack Spicer or maybe even Chase would not get there first.

Suddenly, Kimiko saw a shape fast approaching the Shen Gong Wu too. A silhouette of…a cat! Katnappe! Kimiko knew she had to hurry and run, or else Katnappe would get her filthy hands on it!

"Me-ow, Kimiko!" Katnappe said, waving her tail. "I'm faster than you are, girl."

"Oh yeah?" Kimiko shouted angrily. Katnappe was so annoying sometimes. But now, Kimiko didn't have time to think about it. Katnappe was going to take the Shen Gong Wu! Then she suddenly heard Raimundo say, behind her, "Wind!" A breeze fluttered around her, carrying the Bow and Arrow of Celestia out of Katnappe's grasp and into Raimundo's hands. "Ha! Kitty girl, I've got the Bow and Arrow now!"

"Or do you?" Jack's voice called out. He reached out and grabbed for it, but only managed to knock it out of Raimundo's hands. Raimundo hurried to get it, and saw that it was glowing. Then he saw Jack's hand on the Shen Gong Wu.

"Jack Spicer, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!" Raimundo called out.

"Name your challenge then."

"Last one to slip into the icy waters wins. I wager the Halberd of Aki against your Third Arm Sash. Gong Yi Ten Pai!" Raimundo shouted with Jack. Their surroundings had already begun to change. The ice cracked into many pieces, and they were far apart. The waters began to rise… each of them were on a block of ice and they saw a whirlpool in the middle of all the ice, sucking the blocks in.

This is a good chance to really test out the Halberd of Aki, Raimundo thought.

The blocks of ice they were on were beginning to move towards the gigantic whirlpool. Raimundo used the Halberd to control the wind as it moved him onto different blocks. Jack was grabbing ice chunks with the Third Arm Sash and moving towards them.

"Whoa!" Raimundo said as he suddenly began slipping off. This was part of the Showdown, most likely. Raimundo still wasn't very confident as he should have been, but he knew that Kimiko was watching him and cheering for him, so he thought of her and suddenly grew stronger and unafraid.

Suddenly Jack grabbed him from behind with the Third Arm Sash, and Raimundo knew he was falling off the ice. He quickly shouted "Wind!" as he was carried away by the wind and landed on large block of ice not far from Jack.

"So that's how you're going to do this, huh Jack Spicer? Well, two can play at that game," Raimundo said. He threw the Halberd towards the ice chunk Jack was on.

"That's your best shot, Raimundo? Pathetic. That was even more pathetic than some of my throws and I'm really pathetic. Wait… that didn't come out right."

"Who said I was aiming for you, Jack? I was aiming for the ice around you."

Suddenly Jack looked around and screamed at the top of his lungs. The ice beneath him had cracked, and tornados were arising to make sure he didn't escape! He sank into the water, and the Showdown was finally over. Raimundo held all four Shen Gong Wu and smiled as he emerged from the Showdown.

"Yeah Rai!" Kimiko yelled.

"No problemo." Raimundo smiled, setting the Shen Gong Wu onto Dojo's lap.

"Hsssttt," Katnappe hissed angrily. "I didn't even get a chance to fight!" She walked away, pouting.

Dojo lowered himself so the Xiaolin Warriors could get on, and then sailed away into the sky. They reached the Xiaolin temple in the afternoon, and spent a few hours practicing their element.

As twilight approached, all four of them took a shower and went into their beds. Just before the light was turned off, Raimundo asked Kimiko to talk in private. Kimiko nodded in acknowledgement and agreement, although nervously.

"What is it, Rai?" Kimiko asked.

"Um…Kim?" Raimundo shuffled around, embarrassed.

"Yeah? What? Just tell me."

"Okay… here goes…" Raimundo took a deep breath. "Will you go out with me tomorrow in the restaurant in town?"

Kimiko stood there in complete shock for a minute, then looked Raimundo in the eye. "Yeah. I've been waiting really long for this chance," she said breathlessly.

"Then…see you tomorrow." Raimundo winked, then walked into the room where Omi and Clay were sleeping. "Good night."

Then he turned and kissed her on the cheek.
