Chapter 4: Dragon of Lighting.
Kimiko stood stunned, rooted to the floor. Before her was the boy who had saved her life, twice! He was the one who helped her win two showdowns and healed her. He stood about half a head taller then her wore a black shirt and cream trousers. His hair was brown and his eyes were blue with a hint of red at the rim of the pupil. He stood staring at her, a little creepy, but she couldn't move her eyes either. The moment ended as he half closed his eyes, looked down and let go of the Wu they were holding. He turned around, giving everyone a good look at his face, and he started to walk away. Kimiko was still in a dreamy state as he started to move away. Whoa…was the only thought through her head until.
"Whoa!" was yelled, snapping Kimiko back to reality. She then realized he had moved, but where to? She started to look around to find him. The sight she found was not the best. Sapphire, Diamond and Silver where all hugging him and hanging off him. The jealousy that ran through her would have allowed her to rip apart to whole of the American army. She watched as the four greeted each other. What was strange was that she felt more jealous of the other girls being around him, then when she saw Raimundo staring at the girls on their first meeting. She had known Rai for a while now; he was there through the showdowns and even saved the world from 10 thousand years of darkness, although he almost caused it as well. Damn him for turning evil. She then witnessed something that would have cracked anyone else. This boy that saved her, now standing a bit away from the edge of the cliff, kissed the girl 'Diamond' on the forehead. God, I could kill her right now. And tie him to a chair! Thought Kimiko.
As he turned, Diamond could have exploded from her happiness and joy. HE was here, there by the cliff's edge. He was really here. She hadn't seen him for ages, at least two years. Diamond turned to look at the others. Raimundo looked a bit green in envy of him, while Omi and clay looked indifferent. The girls, however, were looking at her. At that moment, they all thought the same thing and each of them knew it. A second later and they where looking over the edge slightly. All of them had charged and attempted to hug him. She, of course, got there first. From her position, Diamond had gotten a good view of Kimiko. And the expression on her face was not one she like all that much. When the kid had gotten a good footing again, Diamond looked straight to his eyes. He smiled slightly and kissed her forehead. Yep, it has to be him. She thought.
Omi broke the silence that had fallen on the group. "Erm… excuse me, but could you please tell me who you are?" he asked the most important question, but got the worst answer. "When we get back to the temple." And with that he walked over to Dojo, who super sized himself, and climbed aboard. Every one else, looked at each other with confused looks and shrugged. Dojo took off a few minutes later with every one on board. Omi was at the front with Clay, Raimundo and Kimiko sitting behind him. Diamond, Sapphire, Silver and the 'boy' sat behind them again, chatting and laughing happy. The four apprentices all glared back in jealousy, neither of them noticing the other person's jealousy.
Master Fung watched as the Dragons landed and got off Dojo's back. Dojo shrank back to normal size and slithered over to Master Fung's foot and then turned around with a this-should-be-good look. Fung watched as the eight children formed three groups. His apprentices in one group glaring at the other two. Another group was the three new Dragons in-training and the last was a boy that stood looking at him with a plan look. Kimiko was glaring at the other girls while, Raimundo, Clay and Omi on the other-hand glared at kid in front of him. Master Fung returned his view back to the boy and knew why he was here. He nodded to the boy and got a nod in return. The boy turned and in a blank voice spoke to every one. "Hello, I am the Dragon of Lighting. My name is Mercurius, or just Merc." He bowed at the end.
WhenMercurius had stopped, Kimiko stomped over to Diamond, who looked slightly fearful of the black haired girl's wrath. She stopped an inch away from face, and Kimiko stared down Diamond. Through her gritted teeth, Kimiko asked plainly "So, Dia, How do you know 'Merc'? Girlfriend?" Kimiko stressed the last part of the sentence. She spoke loud enough for ever one to hear. "What?" was the only answer she got and before she could pounced upon by Kimiko,Mercurius spoke up. "Kimiko," he started to get her to turn and look at him, "heh… she's my sister." At this Kimiko almost fainted but settled with just staring and have he jaw hit the floor. The same happened to the other apprentices. What the hell was going on? They had a really long day
