Raimundo gently knocked on Kimiko's door and turned the key in the lock. He took a deep breath; filling his lungs with the clean temple air, before opening the door.

"Kim?" he asked, looking around.

There was no one in the room. He quickly ran over to the bathroom and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He opened the door, but no one was inside.

"Kimiko? Where are you?" he asked.

That was when he noticed that the window was wide open. Kimiko never opened her window all the way (It stopped people from getting into the temple e.g. Jack Spicer.)

Raimundo stuck his head out of the window. He couldn't see anyone out there, but how long had he been gone? He glanced down at his watch. An hour and a half had past since he had locked Kimiko in her room. That would've given her enough time to get away.

As fast as he could he, climbed out of the window and started running. He could guess where Kimiko had gone, or rather, where Wuya had gone. If Kimiko was being possessed by Wuya, the one place she'd go would be the mountains where she's left her things.

"I'm coming Kimiko!" he whispered under his breath as the mountains slowly drew closer.


Kimiko pulled herself up onto the ledge where the entrance of Wuya's cave still scarred the mountain side. She stared into the dark passage way.

"Fire!" she caused and fire lit her up as she walked into the darkness.

The cave was just as she remembered. The smell of damp was still strong, mixed with another aroma…the scent of blood. It had never left the passages. She followed the path she had taken over half a year ago while trying to find Raimundo calling out to her. The darkness should've made her feel uneasy, but for some reason it didn't. Perhaps it was because she knew that there was no one there to attack her, or maybe it was because it all felt so familiar.


She went right, trying to retrace her steps exactly. It was when she turned a corner that she found herself at the beginning of a long passage that was all too familiar. Kimiko's mind flew back to when she had first stood at the end of the passage. There had been fire flickering at the end of it, but now it was dark.

Kimiko shivered slightly and ran along the passage. She wanted to get in and out as fast as she could. She just wanted her answers, then she could get on with her life and her friends will be able to trust her again.

Once at the end of the passage, Kimiko closed her eyes before stepping into the cave. She could still smell the death and the scent of burnt flesh. Very slowly, she opened her eyes…and immediately felt like being sick.

In the centre of the cave floor, surrounded by many burnt objects, was a skeleton, burnt black with its face twisted in its final scream.

Kimiko backed off against the wall and fell to her knees. She tied to take in breath, but instead she threw up on the floor. She closed her eyes and stood up again, inching along the wall for support until she was on the other side of the cave. She stepped forward and bent down beside Wuya's charred skeleton.

"What did I do?" she whispered.


Raimundo walked along to the familiar mountain side. The sword of the storm was in his right hand (He very rarely travelled without it.)

"Kimiko?" she called.

The name echoed through out the surrounding mountains, but no reply came. Raimundo shivered and fell to his knees as it started to rain. He remembered this scene all too well.

"Sword of the storm!" he called and the burst of wind lifted him up to the entrance to the mountain.

He edged in through the entrance, sticking close to the wall. He didn't trust these passage ways, even though he knew they hadn't been in use for over half a year. He spat on the floor and proceeded to edge along the passage that he could remember as though it was yesterday.

"Kimiko?" he called again, but still there came no answer.


Kimiko slowly reached out ready to touch the charred skull…

"Kimiko…ko…ko…o" came the echoing voice of Raimundo.

Kimiko didn't answer; she didn't want to speak to him yet, not until she knew what was going on. She slowly reached out again and placed a slender finger on Wuya's screaming skull. She took a deep breath…but nothing happened.

She sighed and closed her eyes, but suddenly her arm felt as though it was being wrenched out her socket. She tried to pull her arm away, but something was clinging to it. A black smoke was rising up her arm.

"Leave me alone!" she shouted.

"No, I don't think so…" hissed a voice in her skull, "You're going to pay for what you did to me, and now I can take you over completely. Oh to be young again…"

Kimiko screamed with all her might.

"Kimiko!" shouted Raimundo, running into the cave.

Kimiko stopped screaming and relaxed. When she turned around, her eyes were cold and bored.

"Oh it's you is it?" she said, smiling gently.

"Kimiko?" asked Raimundo, putting a hand out to touch her.

Kimiko quickly raised a hand and Raimundo was magically pinned to the wall.

"Wu…Wuya…" he stuttered.

"In a brand new, Kimiko Halloween costume," she laughed in Kimiko sweet laugh.

"Let her go!" he shouted, "Do what you want to me, but don't hurt her!"

"You?" laughed Wuya, "What possible use can you be? Oh no, I've got plans for young Kimiko and I'm afraid you're not a part of them."

"Stop!" shouted Raimundo.

Wuya was only inches away from him now.

"What?" asked Wuya.

"You've made a mistake again," laughed Raimundo.

"And exactly what is that?" asked Wuya.

Raimundo raised his legs and kicked out with all his force, straight into Kimiko's face. He dropped down to the floor.

"You never did remember to trap my legs," he said.

He bent down and picked her up. He smiled down at Kimiko gently, praying that she would be back to normal once she woke up.
