Chapter 6
"Gon Ye Tempai!"
Rai narrowed his eyes at Jack, who has standing a good distance away from him. I'm gonna get you, Spicer. He thought. I'll never forgive you for what you did.
"Tangle Web Comb!" Thick strands wrapped Rai into a Ninja Mummy. He cursed mentally. He had been too busy thinking that Jack caught him off-guard.
"Mantis Flip Coin!" Although the small red-and-yellow coin has hidden in Rai's palm, it could still be activated. The strands from the Web Comb spilt up, and Rai flipped up and over Jack, landing behind. He heard his friends' cheering, and grinned slightly.
Jack wasn't pleased. "That won't happen again!" he spat.
Rai laughed. "Try it."
Jack tried the Tangle Web Comb again, but Rai lept over Jack again, and kicked him between the shoulder blades. Jack feel face-first into the ground.
"I'm gonna get you for what you did." snarled Rai, standing on the evil genius' back.
"What...? Trying to...ugh...defeat..."
Rai pressed his feet down harder. "Defeating! From where I was standing, it looked like you were trying to kill Kimiko!"
Jack twisted his head around. "When did you get so protective of Kimiko?" he asked, spitting blood on the ground.
Rai ignored him "Stand up." he said.
As soon as Jack got to his feet, Rai's fist connected with Jack's jaw.
"Ow! Hey!"
"I've had it with your whining, Jack!" growled Rai. "Either you'll apologize or I'll make you!"
Jack's eyes flickered from Rai's face, full of anger and rage, to Kimiko, standing a few hundred yards away. "Oh, I get it," he said. "You like her. You like Kimiko."
Rai's face turned red. But from rage or embarrassment, Jack couldn't tell. "Listen," Rai said, "My personal life is none of your business!" He tossed Jack on the ground, and something small and white flew out of Jack's mouth. A tooth.
"I'm ending this." snarled Rai. He grabbed Jack's legs, and tossed him towards the waterfall. There was a dull THUD when Jack landed. "Please...stop..." he moaned, getting to his feet.
Rai couldn't think straight. His mind was blinded with rage. In one swift motion, he stuck Jack in the chest, and the would-be evil mastermind was sent over the waterfall.
Afterwards...
Omi rushed forward and grabbed the three Shen Gon Wu from Rai. Although he had a large grin plastered all over his face, he said nothing.
Clay hopped on Dojo (who had expanded to his 40-foot form) and Omi sat in front of him.
Rai expected Kimiko to be cheerful, but he was wrong. Kimiko's face looked similar to Rai's during the Showdown.
"What is wrong with you!" she demanded once Rai was within earshot.
"I was...uh..." No matter how hard he trying, Rai couldn't admit to getting revenge on Spicer.
"Look, just because I like you doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."
Rai opened his mouth to speak, but realized that her statement made no sense to him.
"C'mon." Kimiko turned and jumped on Dojo. Rai sat behind her, in front of Omi.
Once Rai was sure Clay and Omi were in deep conversation about the Shen Gon Wu, Rai scooted up to Kimiko, slipped his arms around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Look, girl. I'm sorry. I was...trying to make myself feel better about what Jack did."
Kimiko said nothing, her arms folded across her chest. Finally, she turned to face him. "Rai...you know Jack's gonna get you back."
Rai gave a little grin. "If he recovers from those injuries, that is."
Kimiko gave a little smile. "Alright." she said. "I forgive you."
"That's all I ask." Rai replied, and without further ado, he pressed his lips against Kimiko's, who gave a soft, almost inaudible moan, and returned the favor.
Dojo smirked. He had heard everything Rai and Kimiko had been saying. Ah, young love. He thought.
