Chapter 12: A Visit from Jack, and A Garden To Plant... and a Match Maker!
Kimiko's P.O.V.
I didn't know what to feel. Raimundo was mad a me for a split second, and then he acting like it's all okay... Boys are so WEIRD! Anyways, Dojo flew us back to the Temple, and yes, everyone did get a tan; but Rai looked so handsome with his darker tan. So, instead of seeing Master Fung waiting at the Temple alone, we saw Master Fung, and Jack. SINCE he didn't get his Evil Chi, he wasn't really a threat, he just acted really... Queer. "Look, it's our buddy, Jack Spicer!" Shouted Clay from behind me, he said this with a wink though.
"Hello friend! I was here to help you guys... Hang out; you know? I gets lonely in my parent's Basement! It's a creepy place too!" Jack Spicer said. He didn't know what happened, he lost of all his memory of when he was evil. "Yes Jack. Very Creepy." Raimundo replied sarcastically. "Do you want to plant a garden? I like Gardens. They are pretty." Jack was getting on every ones nerves, I could tell. "Okay Jack Spicer, we will plant a garden, IF you stop acting so strange!" I said, as I shot a glare at him. "I brought some flowers we can plant too! This will be such fun!" Omi just grumbled, he still didn't trust Jack. Also, the rest of the evil crew seemed like they just disappeared, since Wuya and Chase were the only ones that really were successful, and when they died, evil just shrank away.
So that was that, we had plant so flowers or else he be whiny. My roses were so lovely, I was always looking at them, and admiring their beauty. I also stole glances at Rai, I just couldn't keep my eyes of him... Or my hands. I still remember that day I was scrubbing tiles with him; back then I didn't really know if I loved him or not. Now I do, and I always will. Raimundo was having trouble planting his flowers though, he would scowl at them, maybe he didn't like some flowers that much because they reminded him of the Heylin seed he was guarding.
I walked over to help him; even though I was a Fire elemental planting was still okay for me. Clay just enjoyed it so much... "Rai, you need to be more gentle with the plants!" "I can be gentle with you Kimiko." He kissed me, I doubt that Jack even knew I was in love with Raimundo. "Kimiko, Raimundo, you never told me you liked each other!" Exclaimed Jack. "We should throw a party now!" He was squealing like a girl. "NO Jack, we don't need a party!" Omi stood up from the one flower he planted and pointed his index finger at Jack. "You are the one that needs stop being most annoying!"
When we were just finished, Jack cried "Omi, you are so mean!" He ran off into to his ship and flew away, everyone did have enough of him today. "Rai, Omi, Clay, look how beautiful the garden is!" I could see admiration pass over there slightly annoyed faces, and then they started smiling. "You know what is missing Kimiko, a fountain!" Clay muttered, he was trying to go into focus. The roses I planted (Rai gave them to me.) were in a circular pattern, and there was just something missing in the middle. He moved his hands and the ground started to from a little sculpture, a dragon. "Finish this off Omi. " I said as I motioned to the empty fountain. "My pleasure Kimiko." Omi responded. Liquid flew out of his hands and into the fountain, without spilling a drop; I was so pleased.
I went to my room to take a shower, it was very tiring to go and plant things. My hands were covered in dirt... I just hated when that happened. Someone was knocking on my door, I could tell it was Raimundo, I hate to admit it but I memorized his knock too. The shower I was about to take could wait; I turned it off and opened the door, and there was my darling boyfriend. "Hi Raimundo, what do you want, or did you just come here to make out with me again?" Usually he did sneak into my room and do that... I went over to my sink and washed my hands, I didn't want to get dirt on Rai. "Well I decided I could read you a book...and make out with you." He was doing his You-can't-really-resist-me-now smirk, I knew I couldn't resist him, so I launched him onto my bed, and said "You are right, I can't stop touching you, but can you stop touching me?" I was just testing him. "No..." A little smile crept onto his face because he knew I was teasing him.
He didn't say anything else, so he started to kiss me. Every single one felt as good as the first one, when I was under the willow tree with him; I was addicted to the taste of his lips and the feel of his skin against mine. He broke away from my kisses, and asked which story I wanted him to read, but there were so many choices! I finally chose "The Princess and the Pea", even though I already heard that story, I just wanted to hear it in Raimundo's voice. He began "Once a upon a time..."
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I was reading Kimiko a fairytale book that I had got when I was a little kid, also when I lived in Brazil. I could tell she was enjoying it, her eyes were shining, and she was holding my hand. I had finished the last sentence of the story, and I looked at Kim, she was fast asleep; I got off her bed, kissed her, and whispered into her ear "Your my princess Kimiko." Then I shut her door and carefully walked to my room, it was 11:06 and I still wasn't sleepy, maybe girls needed their 'Beauty Sleep', I f I went by that theory, then Kimiko always gets her beauty sleep.
I heard thunder and wind outside, I always loved hearing that. I gazed out my window, the wind was blowing fiercely and everything else was swaying in it. Rain soon started to fall, I loved watching things like this happen; especially when thunder flashed. I lay back on my bed and listened to the roaring of it all... Some people just thought I was crazy, when I spent the day looking out the window and thinking about my future.
Omi's P.O.V.
I was too excited to sleep, the rain was pouring, and since the Water was my element, I was jumpy! I started to open my window, I wanted to feel the rain too. The water trickled down my hands, I liked this coolness; I didn't know why anyone slept through it. Clay was snoring from the other room, he could sleep through anything... I just wish I had a friend that enjoyed these storms... Not a boy (He knew Raimundo just loved this storm.), but a girl. He would have been friends with Kimiko, but she didn't like the rain, It extinguished her flames and her personaltiy. I sighed, I really just wanted a girlfriend to be with. I should ask Raimundo what girls' are like, they are a most unusual type of people.
I ran out into the hallway,shutting my door behind me quietly, I didn't want to wake anyone, except Raimundo. "Raimundo, are you awake? I need to..." I didn't know what to say! I would ruin my reputation if I asked him a question... Unless it was on girls. "Come in Omi, I'm still awake." I opened the door and Raimundo was sitting on the floor, looking through his window at the storm.
"Raimundo, I need to ask you about girls." Raimundo turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Don't you l know enough from the Ancient Guide To Females?" "No... I need to learn how to attract them." I could feel his eyes bore into my back, and I felt a blush coming to my cheeks. Did I have to ask so desperate? "Omi, why would you want to learn that? There are not any girls here... That are available." "Raimundo, I am so lonely without someone to keep me company, and I wanted a girl to keep me happy... Someone who likes storms."
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I was kind of shocked, Omi actually wanted a girlfriend, and he was asking me? Sure I was charming for the girls, but I wasn't some sort of teacher. "I could teach you Omi, but first you need to find a girl." I said, this really was an uncomfortable subject for me... "Ah yes, I have already planted that out, we can go to Beijing China together and look for some girls.
"Sure Omi, and can I bring Kimiko with me?" I asked, I did NOT want to be alone with a girl I didn't know and Omi, he would just keep asking me questions and keep saying all these stupid things! "That is most helpful Raimundo, I thank you, and goodnight, I will get Dojo in the morning."
Tomorrow I was going to help find a girl, for a boy that isn't very good looking... This was going to be tough, and I didn't know what Kimiko would think about it, she might even know the perfect dating tips and know the type of girl that would fit Omi perfect. Once my brain was done asking questions, I fell into a dreamless sleep.
