Chapter 10: Let's Forgive and Forget.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
Okay, I may be stronger than Kimiko but that slap REALLY hurt. "Raimundo, that was for not telling me that I was wrong all along and I shouldn't have blamed you!" "What?" I really didn't understand girls now. "Lucia talked to me, and she said forgive and forget... Do you forgive me for being such a fool?" She wanted me back? "Kimiko, I already forgave you, and I will forget about it." Kimiko was silent. "Is there something wrong Kim?" I asked. "Charon and Lucia had a fight, and Charon apologized the same way you did to me." "How do you know this?" "Lucia told me, and then she disappeared." I was confused now, how do they both live on?
Kimiko's P.O.V.
I was back on my feet and I was so happy, my heart never felt better! I was walking down the corridor when I ran into Clay, "Hey Kimiko, are you hungry? You haven't eaten lunch yet... Ever since you got the 'Wind' knocked out of you." "Stop talking about that moment Clay! I didn't want to hurt Raimundo!" He looked surprised. Why? My hands were on fire, and I looked very terrifying. "I'll be going to breakfast now." I walked toward the kitchen, leaving a appalled cowboy. I saw Omi sitting at the table, eating a bowl of rice, Dojo was there too; and he was stuffing himself like Omi. "Your up kiddo, what happened?" Dojo was always the first one to ask questions. "Nothing and I don't want to talk about it." I snapped. "Yesterday I ran into Raimundo and he looked really... not cheerful. So I was going too say 'Omi is the best Xiaolin Dragon' ten times, but he didn't even listen to it twice; he ran away." Omi said, there was a hint of sadness in his voice.
I rolled my eyes and sat down to eat. Rai entered the room, he sat down next to me. He was in a very cheery mood, Raimundo smiled warmly at me. "Hey you two! Are you both lovebirds still?" Dojo asked another question. "Of course, I couldn't stay mad at darling Raimundo!" I kissed him for emphasizes. "That is most fascinating Kimiko, I have bought yet another book, and it is the guide to... s-e-" Omi was about to finish I cut him off, he wasn't supposed to be reading a book. "Omi! You can't read that book! It's for adults!" He opened to the first page, then he said "What does G-spot mean?" I snapped his book shut, grabbed Rai by the hand, and ran away to my room. I needed to talk to Raimundo, seriously.
"We have to get that book away from him or else he'll keep asking questions!" "Like what Kim?" Asked Raimundo. "It means that he'll... Ask if we did it yet!" "But we didn't do it yet!" "I know Rai, but then he'll think we did it, and pass that onto Clay, who'll tell Dojo, and then tell Master Fung! That's not good is it!" I was KIND OF mad, but how could you pry a book from a curious little boy? Then I snapped my fingers, I would replace the book with something else! "Rai, can I borrow your Brazilian Language book?" "Why?" "Because I need it!" Omi wasn't smart enough to know if we just swapped the book with the... other book. Raimundo walked out of the room and got his book; now I just needed a plan... How was I going to get in Omi's room?
Omi's P.O.V.
I was reading this very interesting book, I still didn't know what most of the things meant... I flipped through various pages and found a picture of a person, that was naked. "Most weird, I didn't know Kimiko had lumps on her chest! I must be a disease, I must warn her!" I ran to her room and found Kimiko and Raimundo talking, and she was holding a book in her hands. "Kimiko, since you are a girl, you have a disease! You have lumps in your chest!" Kimiko looked enraged. She then screamed "Never EVER tell a girl that! If you know something about them, then what is slapping!" Kimiko ran at me with her hands raised, my first reaction: RUN! I ran to the courtyard, and decided to meditate for a bit before going inside and facing the angry Kimiko, right now she was my greatest fear.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I watched Kimiko sneak out of Omi's room, with his book in her hands. "Let's see what happens now." Then I saw Omi coming around the corner. "Hello Friend! I wanted you to know, that I fear you, but I don't fear to face you!" He was being brave again, I tried not to laugh. "Don't worry Omi, I don't want to fight you, go read your book and come out of your room in 30 minutes to tell me what you learned." Kim was smiling, and Omi didn't even suspect a thing. He ran into his room, and I heard him begin to flip pages.
Omi's P.O.V.
Let's see, all these pages are most difficult. (10 minutes later.)"I think I have got up all the words!" I'm must go to show Kimiko and Raimundo what I have learned!" I knocked on her door and then when I opened the door Kimiko and Raimundo were kissing. "Pesaroso perturbar-me seu beijar mas tenha a notícia importante! ESCUTE ! Amigos dos cumprimentos! Eu finalmente terminei meu livro e aprendi tudo possível sobre osexo! Pergunte-me qualquer coisa!" (Sorry to disturb your kissing but I have important news! LISTEN! Greetings friends! I have finally finished my book about sex! Ask me anything!)
Kimiko's P.O.V.
Omi learned Portugeuse faster than me, Raimundo next to me replied "Sim o que Omi! Eu sei que você sabe aquele! Agora pode você por favor justo deixar-me Kim e sozinho por um segundo?" (Yes whatever Omi! I know you know that! Now can you please just leave Kim and I alone for a second?) "Aprovação! Beijar do sustento! Eu vê-lo-ei no jantar, e então eu posso dizer a todos que eu sei!" (Okay! Keep kissing! I'll see you at dinner, and then I can tell everyone that I know!") With that, he walked out of the room pleased with himself. "Raimundo, how did he learn so fast?" "I don't know, it might be because he reads Chinese too." I took Raimundo's hand and then started kissing him again.
While I was in bliss with Raimundo, I wondered what would happen when Omi talked to all the people in the Temple in Brazilian, I knew they all knew Chinese but I don't think anyone could understand him anymore... not like they do. I pushed away from Rai with my hands on his chest and asked "When are we going to put the painting in the Cave?" "Once we are done making out we could." "That sounds like a very good idea Raimundo!" I pushed him on the bed and started to kiss him again; I couldn't resist taking off his shirt... Then Raimundo stopped me, in his eyes he was serious. "Kimiko, are we going to..." I thought for a long while, Why would he ask that? I took off his shirt many times and that question never popped up!
"I'm not sure Raimundo, are you even ready?" "I don't think so Kimiko... I think you need to wait a while." "Same here." I cuddled against his chest, all that mattered was that he was with me. I kissed his neck, I could feel pleasure radiating from him... I didn't know what I was doing but then I licked from his collarbone to his neck. "Don't stop." That's all he said. My tongue went into his mouth and started to play with his, I did catch him by surprise though. I heard him moan a little into my mouth, that was the first time he did that! I had already pinned him on my bed, but I felt a bulge in his pants; was I turning him on? This was too much for me. "Sorry Rai, I can't do this. We need to put that painting in the Cavern anyway, I grabbed his hand and took the painting, and ran to the secret hiding place.
"Kimiko, how did I scare you?" He asked, he obviously didn't notice his thing... "Nothing Rai, I just sensed that you didn't want to have sex." That was the first time I ever said that word, I was scared of myself now. Then I froze, I suddenly realized that I was a young lady. "I turned around and looked at Raimundo, he wasn't that little boy that I used to have a crush on, he was a man, and he got really tall. "Something wrong Kimiko?" "Rai, did you notice how fast you and I grew up?"
He looked at me, and then gaped. He did notice. "Yes, I got taller and you have... curves." I did feel a blush coming to my cheeks, he never said anything about my curves before. We were at the cave, and I still marveled at it's beauty, I put my hand on the stone, and Raimundo did the same. It started to move, and the stone revealed the painting of Lucia and Charon. I carefully placed the picture of Raimundo and I in the rock, it looked just as beautiful as the last one. I heard Lucia's voice in my head. "Raimundo and you are definetly Soul Mates, if you weren't then the picture would not have fit, and the stone would not have moved. "Good luck and live a happy life, now I can rest in peace." "Wait, don't go; what do you mean rest in peace!" "It means that I can finally go back to the afterlife, I only dwelled around with Charon to find the two Soul Mates, you and Raimundo. I'm sorry I can't say anymore, I am fading, but I have enough power to make myself visible, and Charon too. I was an old lady, but I will show you what I looked like at 17 years old." I saw a beautiful young girl, that looked just like me, standing in front of me, and a handsome young man standing in front of Raimundo. Charon hugged Raimundo, Lucia touched my cheek, and they disappeared forever. They were never coming back to this world.
I did feel tears sting my eyes, a spirit that was just like me was gone, and she cared so much for me! On the ground was a little piece of paper, I picked it up, it was in handwriting like mine, and it read "Don't forget us, Charon and I are alive in your heart. We never truly are gone. You were like a sister to me, Goodbye." By that time, I wept into Raimundo's shoulder, he patted my back, I did feel three of his tears fall in my hair.
I walked with Raimundo back to the Temple, and I stopped at the courtyard to look at my flowers, the roses were at full bloom, and there were so many of them. A wind was blowing, I turned around and I thought I saw Charon and Lucia waving at me from the sky, I blinked and they were gone.
I hugged Raimundo even tighter; I couldn't believe everything that just had happened. I walked in the direction of the Temple, before I walked in the door, I stretched my hand out and softly said "Goodbye." I then walked in the Temple with Raimundo. The monks in the Temple were all talking quietly, they saw me, and I some were casting me sympathy looks. The I remembered, do not dwell in the house of the past, and I smiled. I needed to find Omi, and see what he Language he was speaking... I kept my spirits high, for true love never dies.
