"I-I never would've thought... Geez..." Kimiko gaped blinking rapidly

"Did you at least have any hints?" Ari asked as Kimiko began cleaning his shoulder.

"Well, your hands gave you away partially." Kimiko said dapping at the gash and rubbing ointment in "This is going to sting"

"No worries." There was a moment of silence

"Why?" Kimiko asked

"Well, you know, discrimination, plus I thought I wouldn't be able to get into the temple" Ari explained "Master Fung knew right away of course"

"Well that's a no brainer seeing the way you smacked Rai" Kimiko snickered.

"Heh, people still find out no matter how hard I try..." Ari said stratching at the cloth bandages around his whole torso

"So how'd you do this to yourself?" Kimiko asked pointing at the bandages.

"A while ago I kinda got into a fight, a bit burned so I always have to wrap up" Ari said "It's become a habit to wrap bandages around myself" Kimiko automaticly imagined Ari wrapped completely head to toe in bandages walking like a mummy.

"Well, this place is pretty great honestly, Raimundo can kinda get on your nerves and so can Clay's metaphors but it's still great" Kimiko smiled while wrapping Ari's shoulder with cloth "Oh yeah. Thanks, for helping me"

"No problem" Ari said slipping on his shirts and tying the belt. Kimiko grinned

"I still could've handled myself though!"

"Oh! Really? Next time you better watch my back then!" Ari smiled ready to open the door.

"Now wait a second!" Kimiko ran to the door keeping it shut "You can't go out there with your hair like that!"

"I-I can't?"

"Of course not! Your hair's in your face!" Kimiko said and smiled "I have an idea..."

ʓʓʓ

"What do you think's taking so long?" Raimundo asked

"Dunno, but they've been in there for nearly an hour now" Clay said sitting back against a pillar. The door from the room where Ari and Kimiko were in finally opened and Kimiko jumped out

"Done!" she said and looked behind her "Come on! You're not gonna die..." When there was no reply from in the room Kimiko huffed and ran back in "Why'd you take them out!" She ran back in leaving the guys rubbing their heads questioningly.

"I don't wear clips! I'm a guy remember?"

"But you can't see anything with hair in your face!"

"Arg! It's my hair!" Ari glared "Besides, I could care less how it looks"

"But you're-" Kimiko stopped when Ari grabbed her shoulders so their faces met

"Look into my eyes"

"Why?"

"Just do it." Kimiko peered into Ari's dark eyes and for a moment she saw a flash and a reinactment of what happened in the room only, there was one little thing missing. Like it had been ripped out from her memory and tossed away into a sewer pipe or something... When she blinked she stared at Ari's face, which was uncomfortably close to hers

"Ew! Get away from me! Don't look at me like that it's creepy..." Kimiko said pushing away from Ari

"I can't help it, pretty girls like you make me stare for quite a while" Ari smiled "Now how about a hug!"

"Arg! You're such a boy!" Kimiko spat stomping out with Ari shuffling behind her.

"Hey guys" Ari waved

"WHOA! He spoke!" Raimundo said before Ari smacked him upside the head.

"Course I can speak, I just didn't want to you fool" Ari said grabbing Rai into a headlock

"Who're you calling a fool?"

"Seems you are better now!" Omi said

"Yeah, hey Omi..." Ari said kneeling down to his height "How about you and me go outside and have another fight? I had fun sparing with you after all"

"Ooh so is it that you wish to learn from watching me in battle? Yes! I accept your challange!"

"Now hold your horses, you're still hurt and you still wanna fight Omi?" Clay asked placing his hand on Ari's unwounded shoulder.

"No troubles, I'll be fine" he smiled and ran down the steps "Hurry up Omi!"

"Man, that boy has more energy then a squirrel in nut season" Clay said shaking his head

"Seriously Clay, cut it out" Kimiko said

"Yeah, who you writes your material anyway?" Raimundo teased "I mean like, Squirrel?"

"I write it myself thank you very much!" Clay said in an offended way following Omi and Ari outside.

ʓʓʓ

"It'll just be simple sparing, no weapons. You can use any techniques you want" Ari said with his hands in his pockets and grinned "Make sure to give me all that you've got"

"Weird, first he never talks at all and now we can't get him to shut up" Raimundo said before Kimiko smacked him upside the head "OW!"

"But... Wouldn't that be stealing?" Omi said rubbing his head

"It means make sure you don't go easy on him" Raimundo shouted from the side lines rubbing his throbbing head.

"Very well then! You shall see the power of the dragon of water!" Omi said running forward, Ari watched as Omi charged towards him and reached into his back pocket. Omi quickly skidded to a stop

'Why is he reaching into his pocket? He said no weapons!' Omi thought. Ari pulled out a paperback book from his pocket and casually flipped it open scanning the page. Omi and the others stared in confusion and disbelief, Ari noticed looking up from his book

"Well? What're you waiting for?" Ari asked

"But! What is with the book?" Omi asked

"Yeah, what's the dealio?" Raimundo said scratching his head.

"I need to finish this book, It's just so interesting" Ari said "Don't worry about me, I'll be keeping an eye on you"

"More interesting then ME!" Omi said charging again "I assure you! You will need both eyes to keep up with me! Snake biting deer!" Omi lashed his arm out trying to hit Ari's mid section but missing as Ari side stepped grabbing his wrist and tossing him away while still reading his book. Omi flipped up to his feet and charged at Ari again

"Mantis flailing at bee!" Omi kicked in wide arcs while Ari strided side to side laughing

"Heh heh! Can't find water is he fell out of a boat..." Ari chuckled as he read his book dodging the young monks attacks.

"He's laughing while being attacked? Is he just..." Clay started

"Yeah, he's just toying with him!" Raimundo said.

"Monkey punch through trees!" Omi cried throwing a single punch as Ari vanished from sight.

"Eh?" Omi looked around wonder where his opponent had gone when he heard rustling behind him

"You're not suppose to get caught from behind over and over again, dork" Ari said putting his hands together with only his index and middle fingers out.

"Omi! Behind you!" Kimiko shouted

"Too late," Ari said a shadow over his face "Ancient hand to hand combat techinique!" he made a quick movement moving in for the kill.

Omi first had a look of shock, then disgust and embarrasment. Ari had shoved his fingers up Omi's backside...

"ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN!" Ari shouted launching Omi into the sky screaming and gripping at the seat of his pants

"What in tarnation-!" Clay cried watching Omi sail over the temple wall and hearing a splash as he landed in the river "What the heck was that!"

"Old technique I learned from my teacher, Effective, and degrading!" Ari said snapping his book closed "Is there a place where I can wash my hands?"

"Hey Omi! You ok?" Raimundo called looking over the wall seeing a wet Omi with swirls in his eyes

"Ooh... I do not feel good..." Omi groaned and shook his head while looking up seeing Ari with his hand outstretched.

"Good fight, those were some really impressive moves there" he said hauling Omi to his feet

"Well, I do hope you learned something today then" Omi said proudly, dispite his defeat.

"Wow, that looked really easy, and you were reading at the same time!" Kimiko said

"Takes practice" Ari said shrugging "Just can't stop reading"

"Yeah but what kind of fighting do you use? Never seen that style" Clay said

"Simply it's just Tai chi, only a bit faster and I only use it to repell attacks or reverse them. And it's not the only style I know" Clay rubbed his chin

"Tai Chi eh?"

"Seems you all are bonding rather nicely" Master Fung said walking behind them

"Ooh yes! I have enjoyed a most enjoyable battle Master Fung! And now my bottom hurts!" Omi piped.

"Sorry about that, seemed like the right moment to use it" Ari shrugged

"Well, you all must be tired" Master Fung said "It is time to eat now and regain some of the lost energy"

"Yahoo! Food!" Clay cheered "I'm starving!"

"You're always starving..." Raimundo teased

"Not always!" Ari smiled at the display of Clay giving Raimundo a hard noogie while Kimiko laughed at the two. Ari looked up at the setting sun and smiled again

I think I might like it here

"Hey Ari ya coming or what?" Raimundo called

"Oh, uh, yeah" Ari looked once more at the sky and jogged to the others.

"Um, Ari?" Omi said while the others walked ahead

"Hm?"

"We had, a very worthy fight today" Omi said holding his hand out for a shake "I am just glad you were not a girl, that would be most embarrasing!" Ari nodded with a small smile and watched Omi run after his friends.

ʓʓʓ

"So Ari, tell us about yourself, now that you talk" Kimiko said setting her chopsticks down

"Well, as you know I'm from Asia, I was born in Hokaido. Nothing really special about me." Ari said "I did learn ninja tactics from my former masters though"

"You mean like all that disappearing and hiding in the shadows stuff?" Raimundo asked

"Something like it, just a bit different" Ari said "Plus... AHH!"

"Huh?" Everyone stared as Ari had his hand down his shirt reaching around until he pulled out a long green... Thing...

"Dojo! What're you doing in Ari's shirt?"

"I thought it was Clays, honestly!" the dragon said climbing onto the table "So, uh, who is Ari?"

"New guy from Asia" Raimundo said "He beat Omi while reading!"

"Wow seriously?" Dojo said looking at Omi "Getting a little rusty there water boy?"

"No! There is no amount of rust on me! And just because my element is water does not mean I am known as water boy!" Omi said waving his arms around uncontrollably.

"Whoa take it easy! I meant in a good way" Dojo said cowering under Clay's hat

"What good way is that?"

"Well, if there's ever a drought we can always count on..." Raimundo jumped onto the table with his arms in the air, Ari chuckled at his pose "Super Water boy Omi to the rescue! Watering all the plants in the world! Saving girls from dry complexions! Thirsty animals! And- OWW!" Raimundo tumbled off the table as Kimiko threw the stool she was sitting on at him.

"Cut it out! Geez..."

"Aw girl! You gotta stop doing that!" Raimundo cried rubbing his shoulder "Oww..."

"Yeah Kimiko, you gotta control your temper, You almost clipped me!" Clay said examining his hat before putting it back on his head "Least my hat's ok..."

"I dunno I kinda like- Whoa!" Dojo said as shivers coursed through his whole body "New Shen Gong Wu guys!"

"Wow, been a while since we last looked for one" Raimundo said rubbing his pants anxiously "Let's get going! Everyone meet outside in ten minutes! Or less!"

Everyone ran out in their normal attire, Kimiko having her hair braided into two pigtails with a yellow T-shirt and vest with blue capris and Ari wearing a large black hoody, he also wore a small clip pouch on the belt of his jeans, along with black fingerless gloves and dark red running shoes.

"Man aren't you hot?" Raimundo asked with his hoody T-shirt

"I'm quite comfortable, besides, if I have stuff clinging tight to me I can't move around fast enough" Ari said "So, what're we looking for?" Dojo pulled out a scroll, from nowhere in particular and spread it open.

"It's called the Daimond dagger" Dojo explained "It's just a weapon but cuts the insides of things without breaking the surface of it" The little diagram in the scroll showed the little man using the dagger to carve the insides of a stone into gravel as the stone became a conatiner.

"Cool!" Raimundo said "Let's get going!"

"How...Are we going to get there?" Ari asked

"Fly of course" Clay said and right on cue Dojo transformed from the gecko he was into the fierce fire breathing dragon that was their guardian and transportation

"All aboard the Dojo express!"

"Hm, that's new" Ari mused from behind his curtain of hair and climbed up.

ʓʓʓ

While they were flying over Las Vegas, Omi was busy looking at the lights below

"OOH! Look at all the colors and fire crackers! It isn't even Chinese new years yet!" he said in glee

"You dork, Chinese new years is in 2 weeks! Or, less..." Raimundo said

"It's pretty soon, and-" Kimiko said also looking down spotting something running on the building tops "There! I see something!" Dojo made a sharp dive while the warriors slowly reconized the object

"Alright! The Diamond dagger is mine!" Jack Spicer yelled jumping from building top to building top.

"Arg! That darned Spicer's already got it!" Clay growled snapping his fingers

"Not for long" Ari said "Meet you down there in a sec!"

"Wha?" In a short jumped Ari lept off of Dojo's back towards Jack

"What's he doing? If he does that he'll become a pancake!" Dojo said "Hold on kids!" He made another steep dive trying to catch Ari, who fell faster and faster. He rolled up the sleeve on his right hand revealing a small jewel on his glove.

"Elemental gauntlets! WIND!" he shouted as his glove began to glow as he grabbed his wrist and thrust his arm down making a gust of wind prevent him from being SPLAT on the roof tops and springing into flip to land in front of Jack.

"Aw, not you again" Jack said scratching his fury head with the Monkey staff dangling from his tail.

"Give over the dagger, and I won't have to pummel you inside out" Ari said droping into a fighting stance with one hand at his side and the other in front of him

"Ha! Tough! You'll have to take it from me first!" Jack laughed and with a monkey shriek. Ari's eyes grew darker then they usually were

"Is that a challange?" he said a small smile playing on his lips "Fine, looks like I will have to steal it from you" in a flash he disappeared and reappeared behind Jack snatching the dagger from his hands but Jack held fast

"Hey no fair! How'd you get behind me so fast?" Jack asked while the Daimond dagger began to glow just as Omi and the others reached them.

"A Xiaolin Showdown! But Ari's never been in one before! Has he?" Kimiko said

"I do not know, but I am most worried" Omi said his eyebows creasing together.

"Alright, whoever you are!" Jack said "Er, what's your name?"

"Just call me Ari..."

"Ari! I challange you to a Xiaolin Showdown!" Jack said "The game is that you gotta catch me! But if I catch you then the dagger's all mine!"

"Fine, I accept your challange Jack Spicer" Ari said "I wager my Elemental gauntlets for your Monkey staff, if it's even worth anything..."

"Let's go...XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"

ʓʓʓ

The terrain changed from the city of Las Vegas into a large cage with the twist of beams, pipes with water pouring out from them and the neon city lights bent in different angles casting malevolent shadows when the light hit a beam or pipe. The water fanning out the lights making rainbows on the floor. Ari stood in the middle of the whole cage while Omi and the others were around the side of the cage. Jack's cackles were heard echoing as he jumped from bar to bar and finally hung upside down above Ari

"So, you ready to lose kid?" Jack snickered

"Put your wu where your mouth is, I'm sure it'd fit" Ari snapped

"GONG YE TEM PAI!" the both shouted and with the flick of a tail Jack disappeared laughing.

"So, how're you suppose to catch Jack?" Raimundo asked rubbing his head "At least you could start by doing something"

"Shut up, he'll come down soon enough" Ari said "You guys might wanna stand away from the side, you might get hurt" he looked side to side seeing a puddle of water caused from the water pouring from the pipe. He dipped left hand into it

"Elemental gauntlets, THUNDER!" lightning sparked to life running up the stream of water up into the pipe coursing through the whole maze.

"Oh! I get it now!" Kimiko exclaimed "He's sending electricity through the bars so Jack can't climb onto any of them!"

"I see, he'll get zapped if he hides in the bars so he'll have to come out sooner or later" Raimundo finished. There was a shriek from above as Jack the Monkey jumped from pipe to pipe trying to avoid the lightning.

"There he is! Ari! Seize him now!" Omi pointed out and not seeing anything dash out he looked back at the new warrior

"Ari! Aren't you gonna do something?" Raimundo asked

"Shut up maggot, these gauntlets take body electricity" Ari barked at him holding his head "I don't have the energy to catch him..."

"Can ya still move?" Clay asked

"Just gimme as sec..." Ari said and after a few moment staggered to his feet "Dammit, if only he'd look at me..." Jack shrieked and hoped onto another pole that stuck exactly upwards out from the concrete away from the electric current

"Ha! You still haven't cause me! Jack Spicer! Evil boy genius!" Jack gloated. Ari stumbled towards him

"Tell me Jack, did you have fun when that tree was chewing on you?" he said as his eyes slowly widened and started changing from dark brown to blood red

"Tree? Wha- what're you talking about?" Jack said recalling the battle at the temple.

"Wasn't very pleasant was it?" Ari said slowly walking closer to Jack trying to look into his eyes, which kept looking up and down constantly

"No, not really... Kinda weird" Jack said and Ari jumped at him locking eyes. Jack suddenly froze and let out his girly scream before falling off the pole into Ari's arms

"Caught you!" Ari said and the terrain flashed back to normal.

"Great job Ari!" Kimiko said as Ari slowly laid Jack onto the ground and snatched up the Daimond dagger

"Thanks" Ari said and fell over sitting "Arg..."

"That was most excellent!" Omi said bouncing beside Ari and looking at the Daimond dagger, the blade made of shining daimond that sparkled and refracted the light around it as the handle was made of what appeared to be silver lined with gold. The shealth for the dagger was made of polished wood, most likely cherry wood or something.

"You doin' ok Ari?" Clay asked placing his hand on Ari's shoulder

"Does anyone have any food?" Ari asked looking up and grinning sheepishly "Or chocolate or something? I need to boost my energy levels or I'll pass out..."

ʓʓʓ

"So what'd you do to Spicer that made him freeze and faint like that?" Kimiko asked Ari while they rode back to the temple

"Ever heard of the Evil eye?" Ari said chewing on a pepperoni stick he had perchased while they were still in Vegas.

"You mean to say you scared Jack into fainting?" Raimundo asked "If that's not scary then I don't know what is"

"Well, you see" Ari said and bit into his pepperoni again "The Evil eye is something I learned when I was a ninja in training, it allows me to show a person illusions for as long as I keep my Chakra up"

"Catra?" Raimundo said thinking of an orange cat mewing

"Not Catra, Chakra" Ari said "It's the balance between your stamina and spiritual energy"

"Huh?"

"Oh nevermind... I'll explain another time..." Ari said and yawned "Man I'm beat...Was this Monkey staff really worth it all?"

"Well, it's still a Shen Gong Wu" Dojo said slowly decending "Ah! Home sweet home!"

"Finally, some sleep..." Ari groaned rubbing his head

"Don't get too excited, they don't even have beds, Just a mat" Raimundo said rubbing his neck "Man, I never get a decent sleep on those things..."

"Joy..."

ʓʓʓ

"Well, good night everyone" Kimiko said stretching "See you in the morning"

"Ah yes young ones, and expect to finish the chores you missed today tomarrow along with those chores as well"

"Aww..." Everyone groaned and trudged to their rooms. Clay sighed and was ready to retreat to his room as well

"G'Night Ari" Clay called and stopped for a moment seeing Ari's room was empty "Ari?" He peered out of the door looking in the kitchen and then looking outside seeing something under a tree. Clay shook his head for a moment and walked across the garden grinning to himself when he saw Ari fast asleep under the tree.

"Silly, You ain't suppose to sleep out here" Clay said picking Ari up and walking back to where the rooms were.

"There, snug as a bug" Clay said setting Ari down onto the futon and pulling the blanket over him "G'Night Ari" he turned on his heel

"Good night..."

"Eh?" Clay blinked for a moment in surprise and scratched his head "Wonder if the feller was asleep in the first place..."
