Chapter 34: I Don't Know What To Say Raimundo...
Kimiko's P.O.V.
During the middle of the night, I heard someone come into my room, and then leave, I was too sleepy to open my eyes... But I thought it would be Omi or Clay... I opened my eyes and it was daytime, I thought this would never come. My hands felt around for Raimundo, but sadly, he wasn't there. My eyes still stung with tears, and I looked around the room, who came into my room anyway? They only stayed for a second though, and they went right... there. A little piece of paper was sitting on my desk, just waiting to be opened, and it had my name on it... I opened it up, and it read "Kimiko, if you read this, then that means, I already went. Come to the waterfall when you can... At night time. Love, Raimundo. P.S. You won't see me at the Temple, and if you come any earlier then I will not be there.
"He cares about me?" I asked myself. "Kimiko! Xian and I are leaving at like... 9:00 or something! Also, have you seen Raimundo around?" Jill asked from the other side of the door. A tear rolled down my face but I said "No. I don't know where he is. Probably cooking up trouble again." "Okay, are you feeling better Kimiko?" asked Jill. "Yes. Much better." I lied and turned on the shower. Today there wasn't any training...
"Kimiko, where is Raimundo? I thought he was sleeping with you!" exclaimed Xian. "He isn't... I don't know where he went." I repeated. I don't know where he went... "Oh well. Come eat your breakfast." said Clay. "Sure..." I had that empty feeling in my heart... Did this have something to do with Raimundo being my Soul Mate for life? "Kimiko, I think that it is most suspicious that Raimundo had gone away again." said Omi. That just worried me even more. "Watch your emotions Kimiko." remarked Xian, and then I went back to my room... To go write in my dairy or cry my eyes out.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
She would come. I was on top of the Waterfall, where she couldn't go... Unless Omi used water, and I doubt that she even told all of, and I didn't even say goodbye to Xian and Jill! Maybe Clay would say it for me... Or Kim. Peaches did ask where I was going, and she followed me some of the way. "So Raimundo, is this what makes Kimiko so angry?" asked Peaches. "Yes it is... I don't know why though, all I do is sit here and think about everything I have done at the Xiaolin Temple... Sometimes I wonder what would happen if..." I really didn't want to tell a bird, I probably looked very weird right now. "If?" asked the bird. "If I never was the Wind Dragon... Then I would still be in the orphanage." Peaches felt my emotion and didn't question further.
"Raimundo. I hear Kimiko calling me." chirped Peaches. "Don't tell her I'm on top of the Waterfall... Promise?" I asked. "Yes, promise. I won't tell her I was up here either." she said and flew in the direction of the Xiaolin Temple, how did she know Kim was calling her? Keen hearing most likely. "Kimiko. I love you." I whispered to the wind, and I slowly fell asleep, last night I couldn't sleep.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
Where was Peaches? "Here I am." She fluttered down from the sky. "Where were you? I was worried." "Not as worried as you are about Raimundo." she said and took a sip of water from the fountain. "How did you know he was gone?" Peaches paused a bit and said "I saw him on his way out, and he said Kimiko doesn't need to worry. He's a charmer isn't he?" she asked. "Yeah, sure." How come everyone thought that? Right now all I wanted was to be in the warmth of his arms, and the taste of his lips against mine... "Kimiko? Are you still here?" Xian asked and stepped out from under the shadow. "Yes..." I didn't want her to know I was talking to a bird. I winked at Peaches and she flew away, probably to her other friends, if she had any.
"Don't worry, he'll come back, just you wait." She saw Omi waving to her in the window and she walked away. How come everyone always told me don't worry? Everyone just cared so much about me, and they even stood up for me... I glanced at my watch. 5:56. Raimundo wanted me with him in a couple of minutes, which was 6:00 something. I looked around and saw that no one was looking, I went away, to the Waterfall. What was he going to say? Was he breaking up with me? Oh I don't know...
The Waterfall was coming into view, but I didn't see Raimundo anywhere. I sighed and sat down on a rock, and then, in a blink of an eye, he was in front of me. "Raimundo." I said. "Kimiko." he whispered. He was wet from swimming in the water, he sighed deeply and gazed into my eyes. "Kimiko, do you want to go for a swim?" he asked. "Okay." I replied, I was short for words, what did he want t ask me? But I finally felt complete, with him by my side.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
Kimiko got out of the water and waded her feet in the water, then I put on the rest of my clothes. I just sat there, with her, it felt perfect. Her hand went to my cheek and she looked into my eyes. "Is this the scene from the dream?" she asked me. "Yes it is, and I knew the question Charon was going to ask Lucia, the ending of our dream... everything. That's what made me quiet all of a sudden. I didn't know what to do... Now I really do Kimiko. You mean the world to me, and I want to spend my life with you, I have loved you ever since I saw you... Just to afraid to admit. I never want you to leave me. Kimiko, you are like my air... My wind.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
I was scared, what was he going to say? He got down on one knee and my world just seemed to go into slow motion, and all the lights seemed to be focused on to Raimundo and me. "Kimiko Toho, will you marry me?" Shocked. Happy. Confused. Mad. Hoping. Curious. IN LOVE. "Yes. Yes, I will be Mrs. Pedrosa!" I hugged him and kissed him, I missed this feeling, the shivers down my spine and my heart... Full of love. "Never leave me Soul Mate." he whispered. "I never will." I whispered back, and kissed him with the passion and love I had... Which was more than you would ever know. True love... Never dies.
