Chapter 11: Brazilian Omi and A Chinese Raimundo, Bizarre!
Kimiko's P.O.V.
Raimundo and I heard mutters along the other adult monks at the Temple that Omi was constantly speaking Portuguese and no one could understand what he was saying! Along the way to find Omi, we ran into Master Fung, and he had something behind his back. "Hello Raimundo and Kimiko, it seems that Omi has a bit of misunderstanding... He refuses to speak English. "Raimundo, if you may." Master Fung's hand came from behind his back, and it turns out he was holding Omi by his shirt collar. When he saw Raimundo and I he said "Hello! Ninguém aqui no temple compreende o que eu estou dizendo, sempre o aumento uma sobrancelha em mim!" (Hello! No one here at the temple understands what I am saying, the always raise an eyebrow at me!) Raimundo bluntly said "Você necessita parar de falar Omi aprovado brazilian? Se você não mim estiver indo bater ' o vento ' fora de você." (You need to stop speaking Brazilian okay Omi? If you don't I'm going to knock the 'wind' out of you.)
"Muito bem."(Fine) Omi then switched to English. "See Kimiko and Raimundo, I am very experienced!" "Whatever Omi." Retorted Raimundo, apparently when he gets sad he gets grumpy... When I'm sad I barely talk. "Kimiko, you have been awfully quiet, is there anything wrong? Your eyes are kind of red too." I dried my eyes quickly and said "No nothing is wrong Omi, and how did you like your book?" "I liked it perfect Kimiko, and I liked their Language. I never knew se-" "That's enough detail Omi." Raimundo didn't want him saying that in front Master Fung.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I watched as Kimiko walked away. "Hey Omi, can I ask you something?" I asked. I didn't want Kimiko thinking that Omi knew more Languages then me. "Sure my loyal friend Raimundo. I know everything!" He said, putting his hands on his hips, trying to look brave. "Right... Anyways I was wondering if you could... Ugh, I hate to say this... but I want you to teach me Chinese." I mumbled. "Raimundo, you didn't even have to ask the brave Omi, I would have taught you anyway!" Omi responded.
After days and days of learning from Omi, I finally got the hang of it, and now it was April 21st, at 5:00. "SO now Raimundo, do you get it?" Omi had been picking on me like this ever since I asked him to help me. "Yes, Omi. I got it several times, and please stop asking that question!" "Okay Raimundo, then say something!" I groaned. "Wo zui xi huan di ren shi Omi." (The person I like most is Omi.) "Very good Raimundo! Now you can go have sex with Kimiko." "I told you Omi! I'm not going to do it! HOW COME YOU ARE SO ANNOYING?" "Nevermind Raimundo, and you can go impress her now."
I walked to Kimiko's room and opened the door, she was reading a book... or reading her diary over. When she saw me she dropped the diary on the round and kissed me on the lips. "Kimiko, I finally learned Chinese from Omi, and he seems impressed." I said, sounding very tired... You would if someone made you study a Language you didn't know! "Say something then Raimundo!" Kimiko's eyes glittered. "Wo ai ni Kimiko, ni shi wo di shi jian." (I love you Kimiko, you are my world.) "That was so cool Rai!" I knew I studied all that time just to hear her be proud of me.
At least I learned a Language everyone else in the Temple knew, except Kimiko and Clay. It was fun to tease Clay, because he only new English, and he always said yes if I asked him something in Chinese. I could finally understand Master Fung (most of the time.), he knew Chinese, and he actually turned out to be wiser when he was speaking to me.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
(In Diary) "Raimundo was getting glory showered all over him, well he fanned some on me because I was his girlfriend... But I'm not jealous... Fine maybe I am but that is not the way to go! So on to more important things, I still cry about Lucia and Charon, I can't believe they are gone! I don't hear any calming voice when I'm sad or mad anymore, it just seems so lonely. Sure, Rai comes in and comforts me but some little thing is missing. I keep reading the letter she wrote in hopes to find a clue that will help me where she is... Well let's talk about Raimundo. I practically broke my mom's heart when I said I would love him anyway. This time I didn't cry, I didn't care what she thought, I knew I was going to be with Raimundo for a long time, but I don't know how long.
I stopped writing because someone was knocking on my door; and guess who it was: Raimundo. "Hi." I said. I felt like he was still that little boy that I knew, like when I first met him. "Kimiko, Dojo said he would take us to the beach!" "Really Rai!" I jumped and hugged him, and I kissed him, it was a instant reaction now. "Yes really Kim. We are going to go in 10 minutes, see you there!" He ran out my door. What was I going to wear? I found a cute red bikini that was not that revealing, but just perfect with the ruby and diamond necklace that Rai have me. My reflection in the mirror was stunning, but I was missing something. I put on the ruby earrings and whispered to myself "Perfect!" I did a girl squeal, I put on my red flip-flops, and went out my bedroom door.
Outside Dojo was applying sunscreen to himself, Omi was trying to get his floaters on, and Clay didn't know what water toy to bring. When I walked over to Raimundo his mouth dropped. "What Raimundo? Never seen a girl in a bikini before?" I said. "No, it's just that you are the most beautiful one I've ever seen!" He bowed down and took my hand and kissed it. Now that really flattered me!
Dojo hasn't flew for a while so he had to used to it, it was pretty funny watching him run into things... But not when we were on him! Finally, we made it to our beach, I didn't know where it was located though, but I didn't really care; as long as we were having great fun with all my friends! The water in the ocean was crystal blue, and everything was perfect! I lazily sat with a towel wrapped around my waist, until someone came from the right of me and splashed water all over me. "You are so dead Rai!" I got up and chased after him, he dived into the water; so did I. Then he vanished underwater, then I felt something grab my ankle, I screamed. It was pulling me down too! I couldn't breath that well, the thing let go, and I floated to the surface. Raimundo popped up from the water next to me and said "Did I scare you Kimiko?" It WAS him! I was going to get HIM!
I chased him through the water, he did move faster than I expected, I caught up with him and brought him to the surface. I had a plan to make him stop... I kissed him and used my tongue to seduce him, then once he was comfortable; I started swimming away to the sand, he still had his eyes closed. Eventually, when I reached land he started to notice I wasn't there anymore.
Omi and Clay were trying to dig a big hole, so I decided to join them. Soon Raimundo joined in, and we did this until I built a little sandcastle. Now everyone else was crazy about sandcastles... We played till the sunset, and I sat hand in hand with Raimundo. The sunset was beautiful, and it was so romantic! "Raimundo, have you ever thought of being married?"
Raimundo's P.O.V.
That question echoed in my mind... Me marrying someone? "I don't know Kimiko, I have never thought about it. When I was little, I knew I was going to love someone and be their husband... But I didn't know when." Kimiko sighed "My mom wanted me to marry a person that was Japanese, to pass on the family's traits. I don't want to though, I want to marry whoever loves me and wants to spend their whole life with me." She faltered. "Kim I love you." I didn't know what my mouth was saying, the message was coming straight from my heart. She gazed at me, "Rai, I love you too. But it's too early to marry anyone, I better wait till I'm at least a year older." I was ashamed. I told her my feeling for her and she didn't even like me as much as I did for her... She leaned over and kissed me, I didn't really put any effort into it.
"Raimundo, what's wrong?" "Nothing." I said sharply. "I just need to take a walk now." I got up without saying goodbye, and took a surfboard I brought with me, surfing the waves cheered me up most of the time. I glided through water as gracefully as the wind, I had to do a lot of thinking. Did she not love me? Not that couldn't be the case. Was she losing interest in me? She didn't she just kissed me. Then what?I wish Charon was here to help me, he had experience with women, I barely knew anything about them. I was getting onto something... What would Charon say? Forgive and forget, remember the past fun of your relationship... That did bring tears to my eyes. I didn't even notice that I was flying so high in the sky on my surfboard.
The wind was carrying me! I landed right in front of Kimiko, she was looking at the ground. "Sorry Kimiko! We are going surf!" I picked her up and placed her next to me; she was scared, I could because it shined in her eyes. "Hold on Kim!" A wave was coming, and Kimiko was clutching to my back, this just felt so right! My hands skimmed through the water, we were in a tunnel of it. Then it went down, and so did Kimiko and I.
Omi's P.O.V.
I just saw Kimiko and Raimundo fall into the water! I rushed to the shallow part of the water to see where they went. Then I saw them, their hair was wet and they were kissing, "Clay, come look at this most extraordinary thing!" "Omi, they are in love." Kimiko and Raimundo seemed to be trapped in a world of love.
