Chapter 3: Explanations and Devastation.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
"Nothing Clay." I replied, trying to get rid of him, I didn't really want people knowing yet. "Omi, what were you asking again?" I was changing the subject, and I really hoped the question wasn't about me, or Raimundo. "What were you doing with Raimundo? I think I have found out why you are acting this way because you are... Ah! Here it is! (points at book)... in love! Right now you were... kissing!" Exclaimed a very happy Omi. "Is this true Kimiko? Are you really in love with Raimundo partner?" Clay asked. Did Omi just have to say that out loud!" I thought in my head.
The fact that I was a Fire Dragon really effected my attitude, I lost my temper; big time. "You are NOT supposed to ask me that question! Yes I love Raimundo and that's not going to change! Now leave me alone before I BURN you all into crisps!" I yelled. Everyone just stood there. If they weren't going to leave, then I would; I ran to the willow tree (Where lots of things happened last night) and sat down. I finally decided that meditating would help me a lot, like Master Fung said.
Like I thought, no one came and bothered me, and I found this place quiet, and peaceful. After what seemed an hour of meditation, I grabbed a piece of fruit from the kitchen (I wasn't that hungry) and walked to Raimundo's room and knocked on his door. "Rai?" I mumbled, I was still grumpy about losing my temper. Silence, that's all I heard. I opened the door to see Raimundo glaring at me like I was intruding. "What? Did you come in here to scream at me again?" he snapped, I could still see a little glimmer of hope in his eyes though.
"No Rai, I came here to apologize for what I did." I looked at my nails. "I'll make it up to you." I said, giving him a true smile, and I took his hand. "How?" he replied, with a mischievous grin on his face. "I could take you to go train in an hour (2:30) or something else..." I smirked. "Okay, I choose something else." He said. I started to kiss him roughly and I pinned him against the wall, I took off his Xiaolin monk pendant. I pulled his shirt over his head, my fingers traced his abs.I tried to tone down my moaning but that didn't work that well. After a couple minutes we were finally done with our makeout session. Raimundo slipped his shirt back on and fixed his really messy hair, I had to tidy up a bit too...
"I think it's time to train, Master Fung will get suspicious if YOU are late again!" I shouted I as I ran to go to training. In what seemed no time at all, Raimundo was running at my side. "Let's see who is late now!" He picked up the pace, and now he wasn't in sight. I glanced at my watch, 1 minute till training. Finally, I made it there. "Hey Kimiko, looks like you are exactly 15 seconds late!" laughed Raimundo, who was grinning at me. "Shut up!" I sat down on the empty mat next to Rai.
"Today, you four Xiaolin Dragons, will test your Tiger instincts." said Master Fung, while eyeing each of us with concern. "Who ever succeeds in climbing this tree (He pointed to the really tall willow tree.) with a blindfold on, won't have to scrub the temple tiles." He smiled and said " Omi, you will go first." "Yes Master Fung, I will not displease you!" Omi responded while tying on the his piece of fabric. He climbed to the first branch, swung onto the second; and crawled with his two fingers up the third branch.
"I can't believe how good he's gotten at his Tiger Instincts..." I said in my mind. I hope I could do as well. Omi reached the top and took of his blindfold. "Ha!" He yelled as he pranced of the tip of the tree and in front of Master Fung. "Did I pass Master?" Omi asked, I admit, he was one of the best Xiaolin Dragons. "Yes Omi, you will not have to scrub the tiles with whoever doesn't make it." Jumping for joy, he landed on his mat and started meditating. "Clay, come please." Master Fung watched Clay put on his fold and climb up the first part of the tree. He was the Dragon of Earth, so that meant that he will most likely make it.
Clay grabbed onto the first two branches, and with his strength, pushed off and arrived at the top of the tree. "Well done, Clay." Master Fung motioned for Raimundo to walk over. Rai winked at me and put on his blindfold, then he screamed "WIND!" Raimundo was flying with his element, and he stopped in mid air and was using his Tiger Instincts to locate the tree. He pushed through the air like water and stepped on the tip of the tree. "You've learned well Raimundo." Master Fung said as he pointed at me to come climb the tree. Putting on my fold, I back flipped onto the 2nd branch.
I was using my Instincts and I reached for the other branch, but it wasn't there! I was not using it correctly. I lost my focus and fell of the tree. I braced myself for the fall, but it never came; I looked up and saw green eyes looking back at me. I felt slightly embarrassed for falling into his arms... But more enraged that I didn't even make it to the 3rd branch.
"Out of luck, huh Kim?" laughed Raimundo, I just wanted to wipe that smirk off his face. "I am sorry Kimiko, but it looks like you will be the one scrubbing the tiles this night." "Wait, Master Fung; I volunteer to scrub the Temple tiles with Kimiko." I sighed blissfully at this, Raimundo would be with me. "That was a very wise choice, Raimundo. The more help, the better." Omi looked jealous that Raimundo was getting a complement from Master Fung. "I will scrub all the Temple roofs then!" Omi piped. "Very well." He said as he walked away to go get the sponges and pails. "Thanks Rai, you are the best boyfriend a girl could have." I whispered in his ear. "Don't mention it, I just love to be with you." He responded.
He is just the sweetest thing ever! I waited till Clay was gone, and then I kissed Raimundo tenderly and broke the kiss breathless. Every kiss was just passionate as the first one... I started lovingly into his deep eyes.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I looked in the corner of my eye and saw Master Fung smiling at us... Why would an old man be smiling at this? I finally noticed that I was already in an embrace with Kimiko and she was staring into my eyes, like she could see my soul. Kim hesitantly broke out of my embrace, and grabbed a pail and a sponge, "So, we can leave our kissing for later and start scrubbing the Temple floors!" She mumbled as she got to work. I groaned, I really would have rather kept kissing her; but I had to scrub the tiles. Behind me I heard "Time to scrub the roof!" I saw a excited looking Omi jump onto the roof. "Weirdo." I said out loud, Kimiko didn't scowl at me instead she smiled at me and took my hand into hers. "Couldn't keep your hands off me, could you Kim?" I asked, she just giggled.
After two hours of cleaning, Kim and I were finally done. We walked hand in hand down the now shining halls. "You know, today is St. Patrick's Day..." I hinted, hoping she would catch on. "Uh oh..." She started to run down the hall closely followed by me. (She wasn't wearing any green, neither was I.) We continued chasing each other until we reached Kimiko's room. She pinned me and said "Looks like I win this time Rai!" Kimiko pinched my stomach and I couldn't help but laugh. I took her by the shoulders, and rolled over, now she was the one that was pinned. I pinched her in the stomach one last time and then started to kiss her instead; I gave her a love bite on her shoulder and she moaned in pleasure.
56 minutes later I had my shirt and pants off, to only leave my boxers; and Kimiko's had let down her hair. "That was amazing Raimundo." She said as leaned her head onto my chest. I ran my fingers through her hair over and over again. "I know, and that was only making out." I replied. She laughed and pulled me into a kiss. She broke away and faltered "Yes that was only making out, not... you know."
That one sentence made my mind wander, what would have happened if we did have ahem? I wasn't sure what I thought. I knew I could only do that to the person that was my true love, and my wife... Whoever that would be.
