Raimundo woke up and rolled over. There was no one there.

"Kimiko?" he asked.

"Raimundo?" asked Kimiko, walking out of the bathroom.

"Morning," said Raimundo getting out of bed.

"Hi," said Kimiko, looking confused.

"What?" asked Raimundo.

"Why did you call out to me like that?" asked Kimiko.

"I just wanted to know where you were," said Raimundo, shrugging.

"No," said Kimiko, her eyes thinning, "You wanted to make sure I hadn't left again, didn't you?"

"What?" asked Raimundo, turning around her.

"You don't trust me at all do you?" asked Kimiko, giving an exhausted laugh.

"That's not it!" said Raimundo, taking her arm and hugging her, "I was just worried about you."

Kimiko smiled slightly to herself as he held her against him, before pulling away.

"Whatever," she said, turning around, "We'd better get some breakfast."

Kimiko walked out of the door. Raimundo watched her in a mixture of confusion and suspicion. There was something different about her this morning and it was more that the fact she wasn't sinking into depression because of Wuya. Perhaps she had just sunk into denial, it wouldn't be the first time, but this wasn't right.

Raimundo shook his head and followed her. Once sat at the table, Raimundo turned to Omi, who was still remaining in a sulk due to the uselessness of his 'fighting-arm'.

"How's your hand this morning?" he asked.

"It is feeling slightly better, however, I'm still not sure how long before I will be able to fight with it again." replied Omi, sighing deeply.

Raimundo rolled his eyes. Once again, Omi was being overly dramatic. He should've been an actor rather than a monk.

"So what are doing today?" asked Kimiko.

"You mean other than finding out a way to get Wuya out of you?" asked Clay.

Raimundo was sure that he saw a flicker of something go across Kimiko's expressions. He wasn't sure if it was hate, anger or fright, but there was definitely something there…but now it was gone and no one noticed it.

"That should be our main priority." Said Kimiko, smiling gently.

"I have already thought of a plan for this precise problem!" said Omi, looking excited for the first time in days.

"Really?" asked Raimundo.

"Yes, do you remember my rather foolish mistake of using the ring of the nine dragons?" asked Omi.

"Yeah…" said Clay.

"Well if we were to use it, it could split the personalities of Wuya and Kimiko apart," explained Omi.

"Omi… that might just work!" said Raimundo, turning to Kimiko, "It's worth a shot right?"

"I… um… of course!" said Kimiko smiling gently.

Raimundo watched a she stood up and walked away. Omi and Clay continued with their breakfast, but Raimundo knew something was wrong. Kimiko wasn't herself. She had never acted like this before and it was actually scaring him. How could she be so calm about this? It didn't make sense. Was this the same girl who had been so hysterical a few days before? Why was she acting so strange now of all times?"

"We should prepare!" said Omi, standing up.

"How?" asked Clay.

"I… um… just get the ring okay?" said Omi.

Raimundo stood up and started walking through the temple with Clay at his side. They got to the Shen-Gong-Wu vault and rang the bells. The steps descended and they started walking down. Clay glanced sideways at Raimundo, but didn't say anything. When Raimundo started thinking about things it was often unnecessarily complicated and he didn't want to listen to him trying to explain it.

"This is it," said Clay, pulling open the draw with the ring on it, "What the…it's gone!"

"What?" asked Raimundo running forward and looking in the draw.

Sure enough, the draw was empty. There was nothing but some dust.

"Wuya," said Raimundo under his breath.

"How?" asked Clay, "Kimiko was in control."

"No," said Raimundo, slamming the door shut, "She was never in control and I never bothered to do anything about it, even when I notice there was something wrong with her."

"What are we going to do?" asked Clay, "What harm can she really do with that?"

"We've got to find her and we've got to warn Omi!" said Raimundo, running back up the steps.


"Are you ready Kimiko?" asked Omi.

"Of course," said Kimiko, "I just hope this works."

Omi nodded. Kimiko slipped the ring onto her finger, but behind her back, was the reversing mirror.

"Omi!" shouted Raimundo, "Stop! It's Wuya!"

"What?" asked Omi, turning around.

Kimiko smiled wickedly and called, "Ring of the nine dragons, Reversing mirror!"

The light shining from where the two Shen-gong-wu reacted was so bright Raimundo couldn't watch. He shielded his eyes. However, he could feel Master Fung place his hand on his shoulder.

"KIMIKO!" Raimundo screamed, standing up and trying to walk forwards, but the energy was sending his flying backwards.

"No…" cackled Wuya's voice, but coming from Kimiko's mouth, "Kimiko is long gone now."

"Release her!" shouted Master Fung.

"Interesting, but I'd rather just finish you all off now!" she laughed.

Lightening shot from Kimiko's fingertips, hitting Master Fung straight in the chest. Even as he fell to the ground, Raimundo could've sworn he was telling him not to worry.

"Master Fung!" shouted Omi, kneeling down next to him, "No… he's… he's…"

"As for this temple," said Wuya, "I think it needs a make-over!"

As she rose into the air, countless streams of fire came down like a thousand shooting stars, exploding on impact, destroying large chunks of the temple.

By the time Raimundo could open his eyes, the temple was a smoking ruin and Omi was still kneeling down next to Master Fung. Omi was facing down sitting very still. He didn't even look as though he was breathing he was sitting so still.

"Omi?" asked Raimundo, looking at him dazedly, "What's wrong?"

Tears were pouring down Omi's face, Clay stood behind him, his hand on his shoulder.

"Master Fung, he's …" Omi took a breath,

"She… he's dead."
