Omi remained in a sulk despite the fact that Kimiko had repeatedly apologised. He said that he forgave her as it was not her fault; however, he sat at the side with the cast on his hand, muttering under his breath for the rest of the morning.

"This is not good," said Master Fung, "Unless we can get Wuya out of Kimiko, it will be possible for Wuya to take her over whenever she has enough strength to do so."

"I've done so much damage," said Kimiko gently, "I broke Omi's hand, stabbed him, smashed Clay into a wall, breaking the wall in the process and very nearly killed you Master Fung… I'm sorry, I should've apologised for that sooner."

"It was not your fault, I was the one who insisted that going into your mind was a good idea." Said Master Fung.

Kimiko frowned and stared down at her feet. She was sick of everyone saying that. 'It wasn't your fault'; 'you didn't know what you were doing'. The fact was, it wasn't making her feel any better. She was still responsible for all the damage caused and no amount so 'it's not your fault' is going to make it seem any better to her.

"Kimiko, you seem distracted." Said Master Fung.

"No…well, yes I am, but there's nothing I can do about that now," said Kimiko, shaking her head slightly, "What am I going to do?"

"Until we are one hundred percent certain of the situation, there is very little we can do." Said Master Fung.

He walked over to where Omi remained sulking. Kimiko frowned and put a hand to her forehead. She had a major headache and sitting here wasn't doing anything to make it better.

"Kimiko?" said Raimundo walking over to her and putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I…I just don't know what to do anymore," said Kimiko, "Fighting didn't do anything, running away didn't do anything, meditation never does anything… what do you do when there's nothing left to do?"

"There's always something left to do Kim," said Raimundo, "I know it seems hopeless, but so long as I'm here. She's not going to do anything to split us apart again."

"I…I've been wondering about that for a while now," said Kimiko, "What made you remember my name? Above everything else, why that?"

"I love you," said Raimundo, "I only realised after I left and when Wuya drove me crazy, the one part of me that was still human was the part which remembered your name."

"Why did she turn on you?" asked Kimiko.

"What do you mean?" asked Raimundo, looking away from her.

"Why did she suddenly try to kill you?" asked Kimiko, "You were loyal to her."

Raimundo took her arm and they started walking through the temple.

"The thing was…I…kept having nightmares that she would go after you…I mean after I realised I love you and…I told her that I was going to come back to the temple," said Raimundo.

"Why?" asked Kimiko, "Why not just go?"

"I…don't know." Said Raimundo, "I'm still not sure why."

Kimiko stared up at him.

"You mean you were going to come back here to re-join the temple," said Kimiko, "Or you were going to convince me to join you?"

"Well, you didn't love me back then and…why would she have locked me up if she was going to get another recruit out of it?" asked Raimundo.

Kimiko didn't know why, but something was telling her not to trust Raimundo.

"Okay," she said, "If you say so."

"Kim, don't you believe me?" asked Raimundo.

"No," said Kimiko, before clamping a hand to her mouth and turning around to face him, "I'm so sorry! I don't know why I said that!"

"I do," said Raimundo, "You're…Wuya's effecting you even when she's not in control."

"That can't be it," said Kimiko, "It's just been a long day."

"If you say so," said Raimundo, walking away.

Kimiko glared at him as he walked away. He was really bugging her today…no! It wasn't him it was Wuya, maybe Raimundo was right. Everything was bugging her today. Since she first opened her eyes as herself she's been feeling annoyed by everything and everyone in the temple. If she wasn't feeling so guilty about hurting everyone, she probably would've said something. Or Wuya would've said something…

Kimiko groaned and ran a hand through her hair. She knew something was wrong here. She just didn't want to admit it really. She wished everything could go back to the way it was before she found out about Wuya. If she hadn't touched that damn skeleton, she wouldn't have been infected by Wuya. Fuck it; there was nothing she could do now.


Kimiko didn't want to go to sleep that night. If she woke up as Wuya instead of herself then it could be catastrophic and that was the last thing she wanted right now. She sat up in bed, staring out of the window, looking at the shining stars, like pieces of glitter. She looked down at Raimundo. His chest was rising and falling steadily. She looked at the scars on his chest. She gently pushed back his hair and saw the scar on his forehead.

"I wish I could've stopped all this from happening." She whispered, "But I can't change it and now the bitch who did this to you is stuck inside of me and can take control of me anytime she feels to urge to."

She gently lay down and put her arm across Raimundo. He mumbled something in his sleep. She smiled softly and whispered in his ear.

"No matter what happens Rai, no matter where I go, no matter what I do, no matter what happens to me. Even if I die, even if you die, even if we all die." She whispered softly, "I want you to know that I always have, I do and I always will love you with all my heart."

She closed her eyes gently and started to sleep. Deep in her mind and small laugh broke free. Wuya opened her eyes and looked down on the sleeping form of Raimundo.

"Sleep well Raimundo," said Wuya, "Because in the morning, your girlfriend will be long gone."


(A/N) An uneventful chapter, but I just wanted to clear up any confusion about the capture of Raimundo. I'm considering doing a prequel in which it is explained about how Raimundo realises how he loves Kimiko and how Wuya traps him etc. Tell me what you think because if I don't get enough support I won't bother. Luv Becky.
