Chapter 8: The Fire in the Lightning Eyes.
It was another perfect day that hung over the Xiaolin Temple. The sky was a light blue and was cloudless. The sun shone down on to the grassy plains that waved lazily in the breeze. The Court Yard of the Temple was almost completely deserted. The only person was the boy sitting under the tree in the corner of the temple. The tree let its shadow fall upon the boy's face and body as it protected him from the sun's glare. Mercurius was looking out into space, his face blank and his eyes unmoving. He was alone. Master Fung and the other monks were mediating in the meditation hall. Diamond, Silver and Sapphire were away visiting friends and family back in the UK. The other dragons were off on a Shen Gong Wu hunt, leaving him alone. His eyes never moved as he sighed, his mind coming back to Kimiko. The only girl apprentice Dragon on the team and her element was fire. Mercurius was always thinking about her, his thoughts always going back to her. His first encounter with Kimiko and the others was in a showdown. He had saved her, and again his mind raced back to Kimiko. He had healed her, and to heal it he had to feel the wound. He remembered the softness of her skin, and warmth of her blood, showing she was the Dragon of Fire. He opened his eyes and went on to more recent matters. He thought about Jack Spicer and his actions. They seemed, well, out of sorts. Jack was a world conquer wannabe, not some evil villin. He had changed; he actually attacked them for real, struck one of us. And once again his mind went back to his beloved. Sighing as he eyes closed, Mercurius pictured Kimiko with his mind's eye. She stood there in her Red tunic and white trousers against his the back of his eye lid. He smiled knowing that he couldn't escape this fate, doomed to never be with out her. But he could live with that. He and she weren't official going out, he nor had her ever asked. Every one just assume, but he wanted to ask but not in front of every one. He wanted to do in some secret way. Mercurius got up and walked over to the nearest building. He walked the twisting corridors of the temple. He approached the end of a hall way, there before him lay the Ancient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu. He remembered something but not quite remembering what it was. He pulled it opened and searched the writings for what he wanted. The writing went on and on, as he searched all the Wu, from the Mantis Flip Coin to the Wu Su Helmet. He stopped at the very Wu he was thinking of. The picture moved as he read the text. It read, "The Eye Bandana has the ability to give the wear the ability to communicate via minds, inputting and exporting messages." "Perfect." Said Mercurius in a low tone. All he had to do now was wait till the Eye Bandana revealed it self.
Dojo flew through the sky as a gentle breeze play with his riders' hair. One of them was Kimiko, her blue hair waving in the wind's gentle hands. She wanted to get back, for she loved to spend time with Mercurius. She loved him, since the first time her appeared to now. He had been chosen to remain behind, and he would be alone. Her fidgeted with her necklace. It was metal flame made from silver, and she almost always had it on. She held it in her hands, turning it and feeling its surface. She had been given the necklace by Mercurius. Her eyes were half closed as she thought of the day she had received the gift. It was a cloudy day, the sky was grey…. "It's not going to suddenly disappear on you." Came Raimundo's smirking voice, cutting Kimiko off from her little world. "I…I…I know." She managed to stumble words from her mouth. Although not official going out, she and Mercurius were spending a lot of time together. Kimiko looked forward to see where they were and saw the temple come in to view. She smiled as the 40 foot dragon landed in the court yard. As the dragons jumped off, Mercurius walked over and meet up with Kimiko. The two hugged and Mercurius backed off when Master Fung came out to greet the dragons as well.
"So, you were able to get the Shen Gong Wu?" asked Master Fung straight off the bat. With a smile, Omi pulled the Shen Gong Wu from behind him, showing it to every one. Mercurius smiled slightly as he saw the Eye Bandana in Omi's hand. "Omi can I borrow it?" asked Mercurius is a low tone. Omi handed the Wu to him and Mercurius put it on. He lifted his head and closed his eyes. A faint "Eye Bandana" escaped his lips as he stood unmoving. Every one stared, waiting to see what was going to happen. "Kimiko." Kimiko stumbled a little, but only a little as the voice had randomly appeared in her head. "Yes?" she responded slowly. "It's Merc." Came the Voice again. Mercurius was using the Wu to talk to her via the mind. She smiled inwardly at his voice, almost melting. "Kimiko," Said Mercurius' voice, "Will you got out with me?" "What?" Thought Kimiko to this. "I know every one already assumes that we are dating, and I wanted to make, you know, official." Kimiko let his reasoning slip into her mind, and it angered her a little. Maybe a bit too much. "Really? You couldn't do it in front of every one else?" She almost shouted in her head. "Well, I could of. But I thought this might be better." Kimiko exploded, and even worse was that it was at Mercurius. "REALLY? Well, I DECLINE! LEAVE ME ALONE!" She shouted to Mercurius mind. She opened her eyes and walked away from Mercurius and the rest of them. Mercurius opened his eyes next with a heavy sigh. He meets the looks of every one and shook his head a little. He removed the Bandana and walked off in the opposite way to Kimiko. Master Fung sighed as well, knowing that this was not good. Omi, Raimundo and Clay, all looked clueless at each other. What happened?
The next few days were not the best the temple had ever had. First of all, Kimiko and Mercurius weren't talking. Making every thing a bit more difficult. Diamond, Silver and Sapphire returned but only they boy friends meet them. They were told the situation, and to proof it they showed Kimiko in her sleeping space, while Mercurius was out training. Mistake number one of the dragons was trying to get Kimiko to at least go out and watch Mercurius train. Poor Raimundo, he was defeated and kicked out of the room. She had hit him really hard. Next was Omi's. He thought he could get Mercurius to see Kimiko through training. But there was one small flaw in his plan. When Omi started training with Mercurius was fine, they sparred lightly. As soon as Omi brought up Kimiko, Mercurius stepped up the fight, beating down Omi in an almost all out fight. Omi came out of it with a black eye and a few bruises, even though he was wearing the Two Ton Tunic. So Diamond tried her hand. Mercurius was training again on the cloudy day, the dark sky making it very difficult to see. Diamond walked slowly towards the area were the activity was going on. She stopped a few steps away and spoke from a far. "Hi Bro." she said. Mercurius stopped and looked over to her. "Hey, Dia." He responded, walking towards her. "Why don't you talk to Kimiko?" she asked, hoping the whole Straight-to-the-point tone would throw him off. Instead he stopped and turned around. A single drop of rain hit his shoulder, and then wave after wave of rain landed, soaking the brother and sister that stood in it. "I would, but I'm don't think she wants to talk yet." And with that he went back to training. Diamond sighed and walked off, knowing that she couldn't do anything. Only Kimiko could really fix this, and Diamond hoped she would, soon. After Diamond was out of view, Mercurius stopped his training and sighed. He stood eyes closed and lifted his head into the air to greet the rain as it fell on to his face. He sighed still eyes closed and unwary of anything around him. In the back of his eye lids, there sat Kimiko in her red tunic and white trousers. She was perched on Dojo, as they flew through the air. He knew the memory well. It was a day far gone but the memory calmed him more then anything in the world.
They were returning from another good Shen Gong Wu hunt. Jack had been neaten down again in another showdown, by Raimundo no less. They were flying back to the temple, Mercurius and Kimiko together as usual. They sat next to each other on Dojo, just looking at each other. It was one of the first hunts that Mercurius had gone on. They had got the Shen Gong Wu and they were taking long flight home. Dojo shored through the air as the dragons relaxed and began to unwind. Mercurius was watching Kimiko; he was waiting for something to happen. Soon the flight ended as Dojo landed gracefully on the ground letting his passengers off. Raimundo, Clay and Omi went to put the new Shen Gong Wu away in the temple's vault. As Kimiko was about to walk off, she was grabbed by the arm a pulled lightly away from the others. She was soon meeting with a Mercurius just an inch form her face. "Kimiko, go put something on. We're going." Said Mercurius and then walked off towards the temple building nearest. Kimiko was stunned by this, but went to do as she was told. She replaced the temple uniform with a pair of jeans, pink shirt with a jacket over it. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and died crimson. As she left the room, Kimiko was meet by Mercurius. He wore a long leather coat, white shirt and dark cream trousers. "So, where are we going?" asked Kimiko, wondering what her friend wanted. Instead of an answer, he turned slightly and smiled. Soon the two were in the air, Dojo providing the transport for the two. Soon they landed in an alley way, and they walked in to the street. Lights lit the street as people scurried about doing their things in this day. The sky was a light grey and full of clouds, and under their shadow Kimiko and Mercurius walked along the street. Dojo rested on Mercurius' shoulder as the walked. Kimiko was still a little confused at what was happening, but went along with it. About and hour went past till Mercurius stopped walking. They stood out side of a gloomy looking shop, but still Mercurius was smiling. "Merc, why are we here?" she pleaded. "You'll see, stay here. I'll be back in a few minutes." And With that Mercurius walked into the shop. Kimiko stood shocked beyond believe, she was expected to wait in the cold, and it looked like rain. She sighed and began her wait. The Skies darkened as more clouds rolled in, but there was enough light to see. And as promised Mercurius walked out of the shop, and walked straight to Kimiko. "Come with me." He said to her, and Kimiko was still wondering what was going on, being dragged down the street by he escort. Half an hour passed in silence as Kimiko dare not ask what Mercurius was doing. They approached a large park and Mercurius entered with Kimiko trailing behind him. He continued to walk until he reached a bench. Kimiko stared at the bench; it was nothing special, same as the five they had just passed. Kimiko turned to question the actions of Mercurius and was silenced by his finger. He backed off a little and picked a box from his pocket. The red velvet box gleamed in the fading light, and Mercurius held in front of Kimiko. She took it and opened it slowly and gasped at the sight. Inside lay a silver necklace of a flame, her element of cause. She felt the tears form in her eyes as she looked up at Mercurius. That moment was all it took. The two closed the distance between them and embraced their lips together in a kiss to remember. The feel of their lips against each other was enough to drive some one crazy.
Forever and a day later, they separated from each other and looked. Mercurius thought that know they were together formally as he watched Kimiko stare at her present. "You know," she started, "You still have to ask." Mercurius chuckled at this and took the Necklace out of the box and put around his loves neck. They stayed that way for a while, as peace descended upon the earth. Soon however Dojo was out and changed to being 40 foot long. They flew of into the sky to return to the temple, and they love proven. Mercurius opened his eyes, letting the rain soak him for he didn't care. He would stand there for ever if it got him back together with Kimiko. Kimiko opened her eyes as well. The sleeping quarters was deserted apart from her. With in her grasp was the flame necklace that she had been given. She wanted to talked, hug and kiss Mercurius again, but was still a little angry about the whole, dating thing. She sighed and lay down on her sleeping mat. She waited till sleep slipped it way into her body and she went to her dreams. Again the dream was about Mercurius. In this one, he was standing there, not moving and lifeless. As this happened, there was Jack Spicer's Evil laugh ringing in the back ground. Kimiko's dream form walked towards the still body of the boy. As she reached and touched him, the Mercurius statue fell and sank into the ground, vanishing from view. The dream continued with her falling down a random hole that appears all around her. As she falls, she screams one name into the darkness around her. "MERC!" Before she hits the ground, Kimiko wakes up, as if her dream was normal. And it was another day in the temple.
The sky was light blue as the sun was lazily hanging in the sky. A cloud or two floated past harmlessly over the temple as the court yard was alive with action. Mercurius was training be himself again. Raimundo and Silver where training with some Shen Gong Wu and close by was Kimiko. Clay was teaching Sapphire how to "rope some doggies" sort of things. Omi and Diamond were having a very light spar in the mornings light. AS the actives went on, Kimiko was in her own mind where nothing could distract her. As she watched Raimundo and Silver practice their Shen Gong Wu skills, she thought about how they got together. After some incident the some how involved Mercurius they sort of feared each other for a while. But when a Showdown had brought them together, they showed their love for each other. Just like the two were doing now as they had a kissing match of sorts. Each of them had almost been beaten but seriously hurt. It was Mercurius' wise words that seemed to kick the whole thing off, and get the two back to liking and talking. But this time, there would be no Mercurius to shout out what to do. No Mercurius to make us realise what was wrong and to organise a way to get the two together. Kimiko sighed and closed her eyes. On the back of her eye lids was Mercurius standing there, watching her back with a slight smile on his face. When Kimiko smiled back in her mind, the dream came back. She watched in her mind as the Mercurius that was standing there fell in a whole, still smiling. He was soon followed by Kimiko and a scream of his name. Kimiko Sighed as the image faded from her head and she opened her eyes slowly…
"Wake up Kimiko!" came the voice of Diamond. Kimiko wore a confused look on her face as Diamond stood up straight before her and Omi a little behind. "Huh?" asked Kimiko as Diamond helped her to her feet. There stood Master Fung watching Kimiko a grim face on. "Kimiko?" said Master Fung in a wise tone, and got a reply from her, "Yes, Master Fung." "You and Mercurius must speak. This incident is distracting both of you and we need to be a full strength in case of a Shen Gong Wu revealing itself." He stated to the Dragon of Fire. Kimiko considered this, and she was tempted to say "No, you stick the little talk up your" but thought better of it before she even finished the sentence. She sighed and looked in her Master's eyes. "I will try Master Fung." And with that she turned and walked over to the general area where Mercurius was training.
Kimiko was able to get to with in about 2 feet from Mercurius and she stopped. Her mind was racing with thoughts about what to say and do. Would she just speak and apologise or would they talk for a bit, then let what ever feeling they have flow out. Mercurius stopped as he sensed Kimiko a few feet away from him. He thought only one thought, I want Kimiko back. Mercurius tuned to look at Kimiko, and stood watching the girl like a predator. Kimiko lifted her head as she was watching the ground. She felt a slight tingling feeling and was meet by Mercurius' gaze. She looked into her eyes and he into hers. Both minds went blank at the sight; they were silent and just waiting for something, anything to happen and for one of them to say something. As time pasted by the world and nothing moved, not the grass and not the earth, as the two just looked. This moment of eternity was broken by Mercurius' foot steps as he walked forward. He stopped so his face was a few centimetres from Kimiko's. They still searched for the words, and instead just looked. None of the others that observed the event happen dared not intervene. Instead they revelled in moment as it hung in the air, settled and spread across the world. For that moment the world could do no evil, and just embraced the peace and love that came from just this moment. The staring match continued between Kimiko and Mercurius as Ages past. As the idea of embracing and saying sorry came to their minds, the moment was broken by small vibrating, Shen Gong Wu finding dragon. Dojo couldn't stop and made his way to the two. It was their, at their feet he did it. It was there that he screamed. "OW! SHEN GONG WU ALERT!" and he almost exploded afterwards.
"Omi, go and get the Ancient scroll of the Shen Gong Wu." Ordered Master Fung to the young monk who ran off in search of the scroll. Master Fung looked over to see the two who were so close to coming together, split apart by a Shen Gong Wu, the same reason they were apart in the first place. Omi Returned shortly with the scroll opened and he was reading the scroll. He paid no attention to where he was going. He walked straight into Raimundo and dropped the Scroll at his Master's feet. Master Fung reached down and picked the scroll up and read the contents of the page out to the Dragons. "The Dragon Scale is a very strong Shen Gong Wu. When used, it forms in to a portable shield on the users arm." Master Fung looked up from the scroll at his dragons. "The dragons that are going on this quest will be Silver, Sapphire, Diamond, Kimiko and Mercurius." And that said all the dragons went their ways to do their own activities. A few minutes later, the five dragons chosen board Dojo in his super sized form and they all flew off in to the sky. The land and sea passed underneath them as they flew to where the Shen Gong Wu was located. Mercurius watched the world spread out as he watched and waited till Dojo landed, wondering what they will find this new Wu for. As they approached the earth, Mercurius didn't care where they were, but soon they flew into a cave and down in to the earth crust. Time flew by when suddenly, "Well, well, if isn't the Great Xiaolin Losers!" Jack shouted as he flew past with his copter-pack. "He's getting away!" shouted Diamond as Jack started to move away. Mercurius ran across Dojo's body and reached his head and leapt forward. "Two Ton Tunic." And with that the transformation happened, but Mercurius was carrying the Wu in his hand. He rested his feet on the Wu, his eyes never leaving Jack's back. "Dojo!" shouted Mercurius and in a few seconds Dojo caught on. "Rodger that Merc." He responded and Dojo Took a deep breathe.
Jack fly towards the direction of the Shen Gong Wu. His new and improved Copter Pack was out flying that stupid Dragon. Jack Spicer chuckled to himself and the caverns walls past by. Soon a strange noise reached his ears. "Huh?" he said and turned slightly to see what was behind him. He didn't like the sight at all. Behind him and gaining was Mercurius riding a wave of Fire with the Two Ton Tunic. Mercurius soon caught up with Jack Spicer and the two raced side by side towards the New Wu. The Fire that Dojo had been putting out started to thin though, leaving Mercurius with no driving force. "HAHA! Looks like your plan Failed! HAHA!" laughed Jack at his rival; he had his eyes closed as the laughing hurt a little. "Yo, Jack!" cut off Jack "Evil" laugh, and as Jack turned and looked at the origin of the voice and his jaw dropped in shock. Beside, and starting to get in front, him was Mercurius still using the Two Ton Tunic to "Surf" along the Cavern floor. The two raced along the twisting cavern tunnels, both wanting to get to the Wu first. Mercurius and Jack soon entered a large room, Spikes on the ceiling and floor, and there was a large pillar in the middle with a glowing top. Both of the racers sneered and aimed right for the column. As the Other dragons just entered the Room. Jack and Mercurius reached the Wu, both arms clamped on to the Dragon Scale when a golden aura spread out from the Wu. "Mercurius, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!" Declared Jack as he pointed his free hand at his rival. "Name it!" Snapped Mercurius back and his voice dripped with venom. "A battle, first one to knock the other off their pillar and into the darkness." Continued Jack with the same voice as Mercurius, "My Third Arm Sash against you're…." And Jack paused to think when Mercurius answered the question for him. "Against my Half-breed Claws!" Mercurius had been waiting for a chance to use this Shen Gong Wu. "Fine," Spat Jack back, "LET'S GO XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!" and with those words the usual transforming Area happened. The cavern crumbed away until there was only three pillars around. On one stood Jack and opposite him was Mercurius. The Third Pillar had the other Dragons on it. The darkness was light by many floating fires as the words "GONG YE TAN PI!" were yelled allowing the battle to commence.
Jack and Mercurius were having a stare off, no movement and no sounds, just staring. The others watched on tensely as they could feel the build up of the atmosphere changing. Jack flinched first as Mercurius had much more practice. "Third Arm Sash." Said Jack, commanding the Sash to lift up and lunge at Mercurius, who dodged effortlessly. Mercurius in return, grabbed the Wu and pulled back on it, intent in pulling Jack off. He got close, but Jack got control and made the Wu whack Mercurius in the back. Jack recalled the arm, and tried again. He was met differently this time. As the arm came closer, Mercurius smiled as he lifted his hands to reveal his Wu. "Half-breed Claws!" he shouted and a bright light formed from him. When the light faded, it revealed that Mercurius was now different. He had the basic shape of a human, but the details and abilities of an ape. He was still wearing the same clothes, and once again grabbed the Arm. He pulled back on the arm, almost throwing Jack into the dark distance, but Jack cheated. Several "Jack Bots" were holding Jack on the pillar. Mercurius knew that he couldn't win this way. He released the arm, and watched Jack standing on his feet once again. Jack sneered as Mercurius changed back to normal. "Hehe," Started Jack as he thought out his "evil" plan, "Haha." His laughing increased as he brought out the fist of Tebigong. "HAHA!" and now he was laughing like a manic. Mercurius shifted his feet a little and Jack again lunged out with the Third Arm Sash. Once again Mercurius transformed, but into a Wolf form. Again grabbing the Wu, but he let go quicker this time, for he knew that it would be pointless. As the arm he tracked, Mercurius watched it return to Jack. Jack was snickering as he slid the Fist of Tebigong on it the Third Arm Sash. "Take this Merc!" He cried as he activated the Wu's. "Third Arm Sash!" And with that the Sash went swing behind him and then came speeding forward. "FIST OF TEBIGONG!" and with that the fist glowed and went straight into Mercurius, who then changed back to normal, and Mercurius fell of the Pillar at which he was standing. "MERC!" Cried Kimiko and Diamond, Deafening every one. But the dragons never saw what was to come. Jack didn't stop at Mercurius, as the fist continued and hit the ground at which stood Kimiko. The ground crumbled, and she fell down into the Abyss. "Kimiko!" screamed the other female dragons, but were shut off by Kimiko's top-of-the-lungs scream, "MERCURIUS!" and she continued to fall. Jack laughed evilly as Sapphire and Silver stared down into the darkness trying to see where the two had fallen. But Diamond was glaring at Jack and started to shake slightly. Before she could lunge at the person responsible for the death of her brother and a friend, a large gasp caught her attention. She turned to see what sight was there, and with every one else, gasped in shock.
Kimiko stirred slightly as her eyes started to open. She remembered falling of the pillar, into the darkness, but she fell unconscious for some reason. Why did I fall? What happened? She thought to her self, and her Eyes snapped wide as she saw the terrifying moments again. Mercurius was falling; she could see him in front of her. As her shock and horror decreased she focused on what was holding her. She was in the arms of some sort of creature. "Merc?" was all she could say, and got a nod in response. Jack almost died, there and then. Before him was a terrifying creature, and also one he had pissed off. It was some sort of Bird-man. Its arms and legs were the same as any birds. It had Blood red feathers with dark purple strips on his body. Its eyes were alight with cracker ling energy, and its wings were large bright white fires that burnt in the air. And it had six wings! There in its arms was Kimiko, and she whispered gently "Merc?" every one hung on the moment as the Creature's head nodded, and Jack just avoided crapping his pants. Mercurius in this form flew over to the Pillar where the others were and rested Kimiko there. "What are you?" asked Diamond as Sapphire and Silver looked Kimiko over, seeing if she was hurt. Mercurius looked his little sister in the eyes, and said in an old and wise voice, "A Phoenix." And in one swift moment, Phoenix-Merc was suddenly opposite Jack. As Jack shook at the sight of this Dragon, Phoenix-Merc raised one of his arms and pointed straight at Jack. Jack attempted his Fist and Sash combo again. But as it approached Phoenix-Merc, a huge aura of fire appeared around him. "Phoenix Fire." Said Phoenix-Merc in a low tone, and from his hand burst a stream of fire, the pushed Jack about a few hundred feet away. The Pillar was melted a little, but Jack couldn't come back from that attack. The Showdown ended and as Mercurius changed to normal, holding the Shen Gong Wu and walking over to Kimiko, she fainted.
Kimiko stirred, her head throbbing for the showdown. She remembered hitting a rock after Jack smashing the ground beneath her very feet. Her eyes were still closed, and she was trapped with in her little world for the moment. She relived the fight, Jack and Mercurius' struggle to win. She remembered Jack hitting and knocking Mercurius down and then taking her out, well the pillar under her. She fell, cried for him and held her eyes closed tightly. Then the image of Phoenix-Merc appeared. His beautiful, yet terrifying figure stood before her, and she wondered why. Why? Why a phoenix? She pondered this for a while, within the blackness of her world. A lighting Dragon or something would have been more of the theme. Why a fiery beast? As this thought swirled in her mind then slipped out of her thoughts, Kimiko opened her eyes. She sat up in the process and scanned the room she was in. It was the very room Raimundo and Silver had been in when they had been hurt. As she looked to her left her eyes opened wide. Beside was Mercurius, sleeping in a chair. He was sort of slumped in the chair and had his eyes closed. Kimiko managed to get enough energy in to her arm to reach to nudge him. As she got closer and at least with in an inch of his arm, "Good Morning Kimiko." Was said by him. Kimiko was expecting this and almost jumped off her bed. "G…g…good morning." She said as the shock died down. She leaned forward to wards Mercurius, as he turned his head to the right and locked straight on to her eyes. "Will you go out with me?" asked Mercurius in a plain and flat tone. Kimiko's mind went blank; her mind seemed to shut down. A few minutes went by as Kimiko struggled for the words that where somewhere in her head. She blinked and then found the words. As she was about to respond to question, her lips were meet by Mercurius'. She answered the question by kissing back, the moment lasting for ever. When hell froze over, the two separated. "Can't turn me down now." And he smiled, the two were together again. Out side the room, listening at the door, were Omi and Raimundo as they told the others what was going on. "They just whispered something." Said Omi, "But we can't make it out." Finished Raimundo. As Raimundo moved his head back, Omi held his hand up. "Some one is moving around." And with that, Raimundo was back at the door, along with Silver. As they waited to hear the event happen, they should have been prepared for what was to come. WHACK! Mercurius had forced the door open and knocked the three into the next wall. The door closed again. "Well that failed." Said Diamond, one of the wiser dragons, as she helped Omi to his feet. The Group at the door went their separate ways, while Mercurius went back to Kimiko's side, and with an embrace, He was ready to spend the rest of that day next to his love, Kimiko.
