Chapter 21: Ever Wonder What Was On TOP Of The Waterfall Of Dreams?
Kimiko's P.O.V.
Already ate my breakfast, and all that stuff... Raimundo said he wanted to go back to the Waterfall, I couldn't refuse, and I knew we missed something. "Kimiko, stop day dreaming, and come to the Waterfall with me!" Shouted Raimundo as he dashed across the courtyard. "Coming Rai!" I screamed back and started to pick up the pace. "Why do I always have these dreams? Or are they visions?" I thought, my brain wasn't into what I was doing now.
"Hey Kim!" Yelled Raimundo, "What?" I finally made it to the Waterfall, and Raimundo was standing near the water, looking deep into the crystal waters. "Kimiko, have we ever thought of looking at the top of the waterfall? If Charon was a wind element then that means he could fly." Raimundo did have a point there. "Rai, can you please fly me all the way up there?" I asked, he smirked one of his famous ones, and then took me by the waist, and flew. "Like it up here Kim?" "It's breezy, and I'm afraid I'll fall." "Don't worry, I won't let you fall out of my arms." Flattered. Charmed. "Raimundo you are so romantic!"
I was on top of the waterfall, it had a beautiful view of the surroundings... A meadow was on top of the waterfall. A river which seemed to stretch on for eternity was attached to it, and it did look like Charon and Lucia had been up there before, because there was a message etched into the rock. "Rai, what does the message say?" I asked. He bent down and traced the message with his fingers. "If you are up here and you have the rings congrats, Soul Mates. Your love will last forever. Love, Lucia and Charon."
"So Raimundo, that means they both were up here, and Charon flew Lucia up here too!" "Because he was a wind elemental like me." Raimundo sounded very serious. I looked over the meadow again, whenever we were on Dojo I never saw this place. "Look at all the pretty flowers!" I said as I ran toward the red roses. "Kim, don't hurt yourself!" "I won't, you don't have to be that protective of me!" I laughed. He rolled his eyes and sat down next to me.
"What did you wish at the Waterfall Kimiko?" Asked Rai as I admired the scent and color of the flowers. "I can't tell you, it hasn't some true yet, it might come true one day though." I sighed, I didn't know IF it would really be true... "Kimiko, my didn't happen yet either." He said as he stroked my cheek.
Omi's P.O.V.
"Clay! Kimiko and Raimundo are no where to be seen!" I yelled as I ran to his room, this was most urgent. "Slow down little buddy, Kimiko and Raimundo must be somewhere making out again." Clay replied, he still had a little pink cell phone in his hand. "But they might be in trouble, we must look for them!" "Fine partner."
I didn't know where they went, and it was up to me, brave Omi to find them again! Kimiko and Raimundo weren't on the training grounds, not in the courtyard, not in the garden, nor in their rooms. "Omi, I think they went to there secret hiding place again, I heard them mention it once and then walk away into the woods..." I didn't let him finish his sentence. "We must go after them at once!" I ran through the forest, with Clay following behind me, and clutching his hat.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I saw Omi and Clay running around the forest like maniacs. "Yo, Clay, Omi, Kim and I are up here!" I yelled from on top of the waterfall. "We are coming to save you!" Cried Omi as the water raised him and Clay up. "Look at this weird carving Raimundo and I found!" Said Kimiko. "Kimiko, I don't see a thing, what are you pointing at?" Asked Omi. I stood up and traced the message with my hands "It's right here! Why can't you guys see it!" "I don't see anything Raimundo partner, my eyes or yours are playing tricks on that rock!"
This only meant one thing, people that aren't soul mates can't see the message, can't see the cavern behind the waterfall; or have true love that could never be broken. "Uh, never mind Clay. There is nothing there, compared to you and Omi." I said. Kimiko shot me a questioning look, and shrugged, then her questioning look turned into an understanding one, and she also said "Yes, you can't see it."
Kimiko's P.O.V.
No one else could see it. This confused me A LOT... "We need to get back to the Temple Kimiko, come on." Muttered Raimundo as he took my hand and flew me down, Omi and Clay used the water again.
"Rai, do you think they couldn't see it because they are not entwined with anyone else?" I asked as I flew along side him. "I know they couldn't see it, the stone and cavern were probably enchanted with Charon's magic... His love for Lucia to be exact." "This is so confusing, I just wish I could love you and live happily ever after."
"But we do love each other, we are just waiting for the happily ever after..." He stopped talking and I noticed that Omi and Clay were listening to our conversation. "Why are you talking about the two dead people that knew Dashi?" Asked Clay and Omi. Raimundo and I raised our eyebrows and said at the same time "Never mind." Raimundo winked at me and we flew faster to the Xiaolin Temple.
"Say, Omi, Clay, why aren't you talking and emailing Xian and Jill?" I asked as I ate my bowl of rice, it was lunch time. "Good idea Kimiko!" Clay got out his pink cell phone and dialed a number, and Omi started to use the little stick to write Xian an email. "Way to go Kim." Mumbled Raimundo. "Well Rai, you would talk to me all day, wouldn't you?" "Most likely." I glared at him and kept eating.
Raimundo left the room, and I hastily talked to Omi and Clay. "Did you two get his present yet?" I whispered. "Yes Kimiko, and I think he will like it." "Same here Kimiko." Answered Clay and Omi. "Good. I want his party to be perfect." I whispered again. Then I went to go find Raimundo.
"Kimiko, what do you what?" He asked as he rolled on his bed. "You." I responded, and kissed him. "What do you want Rai?" "You." He said and kissed me again. "I can't believe you are going to turn 18 in a couple of days Raimundo." "Charon and Lucia fell in love when they were 17..." I faltered. "But I'll love you for a million years Kim, no matter what happens." "Yes, and I'll love you forever too Rai." I kissed him and sighed... Was this is going to last?
