Chapter 14: Everyone Is Crazy For Love.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
Kimiko and walked over to Omi, we wanted to meet this new girl that he just met, she did look rather shy though. "Omi, who's your new friend?" I asked. "Oh...um, This is Xian, and she's...nice." Omi stuttered. "Nice to meet you Xian." Kimiko and I said at the same time. "Thank you... Your names are?" "I'm Kimiko and this is my boyfriend Raimundo." Kimiko piped as she leaned her head on my shoulder. "It's nice to know both of you have found love. It's difficult to find anyone these days... I don't mean to be rude but I was looking for someone to like write now." Xian trailed off, Omi was looking at her intently. "Xian, why are you walking around in Beijing all alone? Shouldn't you be with your friends or family?" Kimiko asked, I didn't really know how to talk to a girl... except Kim. "I don't have a family. I'm an orphan, but I live with Jill and her parents... Can you please not bring that up? Also my friend is over at the ice cream store, her name is Jill, usually she's the one that does all the talking for me; she's not an orphan though..." Xian whispered, as she wiped away one stray tear.
"So Xian, you can visit us at the Xiaolin Temple!" Omi said. Kimiko and I shot him questioning looks, what did he mean stay with us? Did that mean live with us? I just didn't get that short little bald Omi. Kimiko fished in her pocket and pulled out her PDA and wrote to Clay, there was a computer in the study; and I'm sure he could here the bell sound... Or the sound that said to me "Check you mail now or I will keep ringing and ringing for hours." Then finally I saw words from Clay (On PDA) Clay: What? Kimiko: Omi had found a girl, and it turns out that she's... kind of an orphan, go get Master Fung please. (A minute passes) Master Fung: Yes Kimiko? What about an orphan? Kimiko: Omi wonders if she could tour the Temple, or maybe stay a night... Master Fung: Does she know any martial arts? Kimiko: I'm not sure, let me ask... Nope, she doesn't, but we could teach her right? Master Fung: I do not want her coming along. Does she have a friend with her? Kimiko: Yes, a girl named Jill, and she has a family. Master Fung: Ask Jill, Goodbye Kimiko. (End Call)
"Here comes Jill, she's always happy." Xian pointed to a teenage girl walking out of a store with an ice cream cone in her hand, she waved to us and quickly ran over. "Hi! I'm Jill, and you guys are?" Jill said cheerfully. "Raimundo, Kimiko and Omi." Replied Omi, who wanted to make a good first impression. "So, do you like to travel?" Kimiko asked. "Oh yeah! I do, and why did you ask?" "Omi, Raimundo and I were wondering... if you wanted to visit." Kimiko responded. "Sure, I'll ask my parents..." She got out her cellphone and dialed a number, and started to talk really fast, the only words I could make out were 'please and thank you so much.'
Kimiko's P.O.V.
After many conversations, we finally went back to the Xiaolin Temple, in fact, they could spend the night once. Omi was really... Overreacting, he already went over to his room and began to clean, he said he wanted to make room for Xian, I couldn't believe he wanted to sleep with her already, but since she was so shy, she said she would sleep on the floor. I walked to the kitchen where everyone was, Master Fung was making an announcement "Kimiko, nice of you to join us. Since we have no more rooms, Xian will be sharing with Omi, and Jill... " "I'll be sleeping with Clay Master Fung, I haven't met him yet, and I'm the people kind of person." Jill retorted.
Master Fung left us to go meditate, and all of us talked for sometime, until it was dinner time. I noticed Clay was looking at Jill kind of funny, it was just probably nothing. "Raimundo, can you believe Omi finally found a girl?" I whispered to him. "Yeah, it's kind of strange, anyway, have you seen Clay look at Jill? Priceless!" I was giggling uncontrollably, I finished my dinner and grabbed his hand and led him to my room. I think you know what happened next, yes, we were making out again.
Soon, a question popped into my head, what were the other Xiaolin monks doing? "Rai, what do you think the other monks are doing?" He smiled at this, he kissed me again and then said "Let's find out." I crept frrom my room and asked Rai "Do you think we have a better chance if we from the outside of their window?" "I think it would be better..." He took my hand and ran outside, it was a starry night. I could hear them (In Xian and Omi's room.) "Omi, have you ever kissed a girl?" I saw her cheeks turn red. "No Xian, I haven't. I have seen Raimundo and Kimiko do it all the time, they seem to enjoy it." When I heard this I looked at Rai, he was raising his eyebrow.
"I haven't either, I'm too shy. But you are not Omi, you are braver than me... I wish I had that kind of bravery." Omi was edging toward her. "But you are already perfect Xian... and I like you." I just started giggling, but Xian and Omi didn't hear it. "I don't know what to say." I saw her look at the ground, and then she kissed him on the lips. "Aw. Look how sweet that is Rai." I said softly, then it started to rain; Xian and Omi broke away from each other, and then Xian pointed out the window, Raimundo and I ran to go look at Clay's window.
I listened in on Clay's conversation with Jill. "Hey, um... Jill, do you like horses?" Clay asked, he was constantly fidgeting with himself and looking at Jill once in a while. "Yes Clay, I did, my father did own a ranch." Clay smiled, it seemed like he was starting to like her... More than a friend though. "You have... Pretty hair, and your eyes kind of remind me of a stormy day." "Clay, you just know how to please a girl!" She pulled him into a hug. Then broke out and started walking toward the window, Raimundo and I ducked and ran to the other side of the building, I glanced back at the window, it had a curtain on it, now I couldn't see anything!
"Raimundo, do you want to go to the willow tree?" "My pleasure, lady Kimiko!" Rai bowed down and offered his arm to me, I was flattered, I went with him to the tree, the rain was pouring down, and I kissed Raimundo; this was the place of my first kiss with Raimundo. But, I wasn't aware that four pairs of eyes were watching me, and laughs were being released. My hair was sopping wet, but I didn't care, I was with the man I really loved. I stared into those loving green eyes that always sent chills down my back.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I knew I loved her, I could see it written out in her eyes. With my Tiger Instincts, I noticed someone was watching... Or some people. I turned around and saw that Clay, Jill, Omi and Xian were at there windows, and they were looking at Kimiko and I. "Kimiko's looks like they are even with us." She elbowed me in the stomach and waved to them. We all got caught...
From the corner of my eye I did see Master Fung standing in the rain too, but with an umbrella. "Raimundo, Kimiko, I suggest you go back to the Temple, a small smile was on his face, he always seemed so happy when Kimiko and I were... Doing stuff.
Master Fung's P.O.V.
I gave Raimundo and Kimiko the umbrella, I didn't need it. When no one was looking I jumped onto the roof of the Temple and to the Meditation room, I liked to make my departs secret. I already knew that Kimiko and Raimundo were out to do some 'snooping' on Omi, Xian, Clay, and Jill. I knew that this would happen one day, they were all teenagers and I couldn't stop them for not. (Jill: 15 Xian: 14)
Omi's P.O.V.
I didn't know what had happened when Xian kissed me, I felt like I went to a whole new world, and I was in my own heaven. Now I did understand why Kimiko and Raimundo always did that, and why they were always all over each other.
"Omi, I have been wondering, are you an orphan?" "Yes, I have only seen my mother once, she had red hair... I only saw her because Dojo was disguised as her... It was most confusing." I went to my bathroom and looked at myself, I did have one 'lipstick' stain on my lips, I wiped it off, I doubt that anyone would think that I was playing with candy again.
I looked out the window and into the storm, my wish had been granted. "Xian, name something something that everyone is crazy for." "There's a bunch of things, but the most important is that everyone is crazy for Love.
