Kimiko was sobbing hysterically and shaking her head.

"I…I didn't…" she stammered.

"Kimiko! Tell us what happened!" said Raimundo.

"I don't know…I was there and then…my head started hurting and…then I was here," she sobbed.

"You were where?" asked Omi.

Kimiko rocked back and forth, knowing just how likely it was that they would actually believe her.

"Kimiko, tell us!" said Clay.

"We…we were inside my…my mind…" she stammered, looking down at her shoes.

They all stared at her. She knew this would happen; they were going to accuse her.

"How did you get there?" asked Raimundo.

"I was meditating and Master Fung took us there…we were looking at my dreams to…try and figure out if they were just dreams…" she sobbed, trying to draw breath.

None of them said anything. Kimiko continued to sob as Raimundo stood up and took a step back. She gazed up at him, her eyes brimming with fresh tears.

"We need to take Master Fung to the medical room," said Clay, "Omi, can you go get a stretcher?" He turned to Raimundo, "Take Kimiko back to her room…"

He made sure that Kimiko was out of range before whispering to Raimundo.

"Lock her in…just in case," he hissed before walking over to Master Fung.

Raimundo nodded and helped Kimiko to her feet. She was gazing blankly into thin air. He led her away, supporting her under her arm. She seemed to be in a state of shock, but then again, who wouldn't be? Once they got to her room and sat her down on her bed and she blinked for the first time since she'd stopped crying.

Kimiko looked round at the guy she loved. He was looking back at her with a complete look of calm, which made her feel safe as though he believed her, even though it seemed impossible. He gently placed a hand on her cheek. She closed her eyes, wishing everything else to go away. All she wanted was to be alone with him forever more, safe and sure that they loved each other.

She suddenly felt him pull away and when she opened her eyes he was walking out of the door.

"Rai?" she asked as he shut the door, "Rai?"

There was a soft 'click' as he turned the key which he had picked up of the table next to the door on his way out. Kimiko stood up and ran over to the door. She put her hand on it, unaware that Raimundo was doing the exact same thing on the other side.

She heard his footsteps down the corridor. She banged on the door.

"Rai? Let me out! Raimundo?" she called, "Please! I didn't do it! Let me out! RAI?"

The tears began streaming down her face again as she continued to call out.

"Rai! Please! I didn't do it! You know I didn't! RAIMUNDO!"


Raimundo continued to walk along the corridor, eyes closed; trying to blot everything out. He could hear her calling behind him. He wanted to believe her so badly, but how was it that Master Fung was just injured and she knew nothing about it? If Wuya was really possessing her then it was safer for everyone that she was left in her room.

He could feel the tears in his own eyes as she called out behind him. All he wanted to do was to run back, open the door and hold onto her for all eternity, but if he did…

He started running as fast as he could, swerving around corners and dodging monks coming in the opposite direction. He ran straight into the medical room, trying to keep his eyes closed so he wouldn't see her, even though she wasn't there. She could still hear her calls in his ears, even though he was in the opposite side of the temple.

"Raimundo?" asked Omi.

He very slowly opened his eyes and looked down at Omi, gazing up at him.

"You alright partner?" asked Clay.

"…how's Master Fung?" asked Raimundo.

"He'll be alright, the monks recon he just had his strength drained, but it'll be a while before he's ready to wake up again." said Clay, "It's like a temporary coma."

"Good," said Raimundo, "so what are we going to do about Kimiko?"

Omi and Clay looked at each other.

"What can we do?" asked Clay, "Master Fung was the only one who would know what to do."

"We can't just wait for him to wake up, by that time Wuya could have taken complete control of her," said Raimundo.

"Raimundo…we do not have any proof that she actually IS taking Kimiko over," said Omi.

Raimundo stared at them in disbelief.

"She's not lying!" he said, "I know she's not, she's telling us the truth and I believe her whether you do or not!"

Kimiko kicked hard against the door, but still it would move. She hit it hard. Her last option was the window, but she didn't want to leave the temple all together, just go and see Raimundo. She was just so scared and she knew that Raimundo believed her even if Omi and Clay didn't.

She drew back and gave the door one last kick. It still didn't open. She groaned and turned around, facing the window. She walked over and climbed out. If they weren't going to let her out, she'd find her own way. If they weren't going to help her then she'd find her own solution, it didn't matter what they thought.

The thing was, she thought that she knew where to get her answers and she was going to go find them even if it meant going to the one place she dreaded going. She took a deep breath and stared up at the mountains, the place where Raimundo had been tortured and where Wuya was still lying…


(A/N) Sorry it's a bit late; I've not been feeling well, but more or less better now. Hope you're enjoying the fic. Luv Becky.
