Chapter 17: A Triple Date In Beijing, China.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
The wind was blowing through my hair, Dojo was flying all of us to Beijing, where we would meet or other friends. I glanced over at Raimundo, the wind didn't seem to be effecting him, but he looked like he was enjoying this; it was his element after all. Meanwhile, Clay and Omi were staring dreamily into space, and Raimundo turned around and kissed me. "That was for good luck Kim." I didn't really understand what he meant, I mean, who understands boys? I was getting looks from Rai, he found me irresistible... Right now, Dojo was flying over China, and it looked beautiful! With the shining lights from below and the twinkling stars from above, also, the cool night air.
We were landing in the park, I could already see Jill and Xian waving. Dojo shrank himself, and hid in my purse, I put Dojo's food in there. Clay's jaw dropped when he saw her, Omi was standing in the background... Turning darker shades of pink, then red. Raimundo and I were watching, and laughing, I have never seen Omi act so clumsy before! He was falling on the ground, and he always stuttered when he spoke. "Shall we get going then? I know this real cool Chinese restaurant across the street from here!" Jill shouted as she took Clay's hand and ran off, looks like it was a race. I couldn't run in a dress, and Raimundo noticed. "May I?" He asked as he took me by the waist, and used his element to fly.
It was even more pretty from Raimundo's view up in the air, he whispered "You like flying? If you don't you will have to get used to it!" Rai landed right in front of the restaurant, Jill and Clay finally got there, then Xian and Omi. "No fair guys! You flew!" Exclaimed Jill, Omi and Clay seemed to be shy around their girlfriends. My hair definitely was messed up, Raimundo saw this and starting to comb my hair gently, he knew how to get the tangles out. "Thanks Rai." I leaned over and sweetly kissed him on the lips.
Omi's P.O.V.
Why did I have a little fluttery feeling when I saw Xian? Is something wrong with me? I don't know anything about girls! I have to ask Raimundo! I finally looked down from the sky and saw Raimundo and Kimiko kissing, yes Raimundo was really good at talking and kissing girls. "Xian, do you ever have a fluttery feeling in your stomach when you see me?" She laughed her soft laugh. "Of course Omi, who wouldn't when they don't see you?" She gave me a girl hug, those were the most enjoyable. I went inside this 'restaurant' with Xian, it was most colorful, with all the people in there too! Kimiko picked a table with seats for six, I sat down next to Xian, who sat next to Jill. Raimundo was sitting across from me, and next to him, Kimiko, and then Clay.
Kimiko and the other two girls got up. "Yo! Boys! We girls are going to wash our hands!" Jill piped as she walked away. Raimundo kissed Kimiko on the cheek and she went with Jill... Xian didn't say good bye to me.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
The second the girl were gone Omi asked "Raimundo, I don't know what to talk about with Xian! I don't know anything about girls! Can you please teach me?" "Me too Raimundo buddy, I don't know how to talk to anyone except you and Omi." I was surprised. Clay and Omi were asking me to help them... Why? Was I like some sort of person that always was with girls? "Okay. What did you want to know anyway?" I said as I shifted in my seat, this wasn't going to be a pleasant conversation. "Raimundo, I need to learn the secrets of talking to a girl! You and Kimiko are always happy! What is your secret?"
"Omi there is no secret, all you have to do is be nice to them and complement on how good they look! Or ask what you have in common with her..." My mind wandered when I thought about Kimiko... "Hello Raimundo partner, are you still there?" Clay was waving a hand in front of my face, and Omi was looking at me quizzically.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
I went into the bathroom and soon was bombarded with questions from Xian and Jill. "Kimiko, why won't Clay talk to me? I don't know anything about boys! I really need your help! Raimundo and you get along fine, how do you do it?" Jill asked, I could see a trace of worry in her eyes. "Omi is talking to me, but I don't know what to say back, it's just so hard!" Xian said as she looked at herself in the mirror. Now I wasn't expecting them to not know what they were doing, I replied hastily to Jill "Be more open with him, once he knows he can trust you he'll talk with you. Xian, stop being so shy, he's your boyfriend, and that means he cares enough to like you and that he won't bite!" Then I noticed Jill nor Xian were wearing make up. "Say, Jill, Xian, do you ever where make up?" I asked. "Sorry Kimiko, neither of us do." Xian responded.
"Let's see what you look like when you do." I started to put red lipstick on Jill and Xian, then mascara, eyeliner, and I curled their lashes. "You two look splendid, I can't wait till Omi and Clay see you!" They both turned around and looked at the reflection of themselves. "I look beautiful Kimiko! Thank you!" Jill pulled me into a deep embrace, and Xian was still looking at herself. "Kimiko... I don't know how to thank you." Hearing Xian say those words was enough thanks for me. "Let's go impress some boys, girls." The three of us walked out of the bathroom, showing off our good looks.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I was waiting patiently for the girls, but how long could they spend looking at themselves in the mirror? Sheesh! Then I saw Kimiko, Xian, and Jill come around he corner. Kimiko looked like she applied more make up, which made her eyes sparkle. Omi's mouth dropped, I followed his eyes to Xian, who looked like she just used some of Kim's make up too. Clay was gaping at Jill, who had got some help from Kimiko. "What do you think Clay?" Asked Jill, who was starting stand in different poses. "You look beautiful." Answered Clay as he pulled out her seat like a gentlemen. "Xian, you are most wondrous!" Said Omi as he stopped gaping and tried to maintain his cool. All the girls laughed, and sat down to order their food.
Kim and I ordered noodles, while Omi and Xian ordered Sushi, then Clay and Jill ordered dumplings. "Raimundo, did any of the boys ask you for information about dating and stuff? The girls asked me in the bathroom while I was washing my hands." "You too Kimiko? Omi and Clay did ask me, and I had to give them some of the complements I give you." I said, then I french kissed Kimiko.
Clay's P.O.V.
I knew what to say because Raimundo taught me. "Say Jill, did I mention that you look absolutely stunning tonight?", I tipped as I said this to make emphasis. "Yes, several times Clay Bailey!" She laughed as she took a bite out of her dumplings, I glanced at Raimundo to see what he was doing, he was already kissing Kimiko! Jill looked back up at me and said "I can't believe I was lucky enough to meet someone like you!" She edged toward me more, I felt like there was a burning sensation on my left side (She was sitting there.) Before I knew it my lips were locked with hers and I heard laughter from Kimiko and Raimundo, at least I thought it was them.
Omi's P.O.V.
I didn't know what to do! She was holding my hand for some reason and my lips were always being stared at, was I going to kiss her? No I couldn't! I didn't have enough courage! A voice spoke in my head "More difficult than beating Wuya?" No! I looked over at Xian and saw that she was still not looking at me, I gathered all my Xiaolin courage, and kissed her on the lips, lightly.
She looked over at me and smiled when I broke away from my kiss with her, Raimundo winked at me and resumed talking to Kimiko; it wasn't as hard as I thought it was... It instead was most tingly in my spine.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
Everyone was done eating their dinner, and we decided to play out side a bit before going back to the Temple, even though it was 9:57. The wind was blowing freely, I was with Raimundo, sitting in the moonlight. I watched as Omi and Xian were flirting near the water fountain, Omi fell in first. Clay was cradling Jill in his arms, I smiled at all of this, everyone was crazy for love. "I love you Kimiko." I looked into his eyes, they glistened. "Eu ta amo." I whispered as I fell asleep next to him.
