Chapter 48: Stop Sighing... Please. Okay...
Kimiko's P.O.V.
"I am SO BORED." I threw my arms up in the air and Raimundo looked at me with a amusement. "Well what are you looking at doofus?" I asked him. "Nothing really, just watching my wife go crazy because there is nothing to do... Yeah, it's all good." He stood up and kissed me; at least this calms me down. "What can we do Rai? There is positively NOTHING. I wish we could at least beat someone up like in the old days... You know like Jack and Wuya." Raimundo raised an eyebrow and asked "That means you wish the evil old ghost hag thing was still alive and showering her tower all over the land? Sure Kim." I groaned and walked over to the window and looked outside. "Should we go train with Omi? He looks lonely without Xian standing around." He nodded and I opened my door, Raimundo took my hand and lead me out.
Omi was standing outside, and kicking the air. "What's up Omi?" asked Rai. "I see clouds, birds, the sky, and-" Omi was cut short by an annoyed Raimundo. "Okay I didn't ask for the whole thing dude, and that's not what I meant." Raimundo explained. "Let's train already, I guess we could sword fight." I suggested and broke up the little fight. "Kimiko, that is most wise." Omi said and went over to the Temple to get the blades... "Still afraid of getting knocked out?" asked Raimundo. "No way, and I'm not going easy on you, Dragon of the Wind." This time, smirked at him; and he rolled his eyes. "Amateurs." he whispered. I elbowed him hard in the ribs and he shut up.
"Everyone for themselves!" yelled Raimundo. I got into a fighting stance and Omi did too. "Let's go!" I screamed. Raimundo attacked my right, blocked. Left: blocked. "Jeez, where did you learn how to do that?" he asked while I twirled my longsword around. "Master Fung, and Omi." I winked over to Omi, who hit just hit Rai in the ribs. "RAI!" I rushed over to him and pulled up his shirt so I could see the wound. "It's nothing really, it's not even bleeding that much." he replied. "Are we going to keep going?" asked Omi. "No, he needs to go to the medical room!" I exclaimed, blood was pouring out of his cut faster. Kimiko gasped and ran faster to the room... What was going to happen?
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I did feel a little weak and queasy from seeing my blood drip all over the ground. "Raimundo, don't faint." Kimiko walked me steadily over to the bed and lay me down. "I can't promise that..." I said in a hushed voice. Now I realized my gash was getting bigger because I didn't mend it yet. "Can you patch this up now?" I asked, trying to gain my cockiness. She walked over to the bandages and started to put them over the blood. "Thanks Kim." I muttered. "No problem, and I am your wife remember?" she joked a little and then stopped because she saw the look on my face. "I am sorry my loyal friend." Omi said. He was standing near my bed side and crying a little for what he had done. "It's okay, I should have dodged it, and it didn't hurt that much." I explained and his face softened. "I will go now." he stuttered.
"Rai! It stopped bleeding!" Kimko changed my bandages once every while. "You don't have to stay with me though." I said. "What? I love to stay with you, and I won't leave." she replied stubbornly. "Suit yourself love." I responded. Kimiko kissed me and then walked out of the room... It was kind of boring without her, and my heart just seemed to beat like regular now. "SO BORING." I said out loud and looked around for anyone that heard: No one did. "Hey Raimundo buddy! Did you get yourself hurt?" asked Clay, he walked through the door. "Yeah, but it wasn't my fault! They ganged up on me! I swear!" I protested. "I brought some food." Clay said. "Thanks, haven't been fed lunch yet..." I took bite out of my sandwich and saw that Clay had left. "I wonder when we are going to get to learn to disappear..." I wondered out loud.
By the end of the day, everyone came to visit. (Omi, Xian, Kimiko, Clay, Master Fung, Dojo, and Jill.) "Kimiko, you can go back to your room." I grumbled. "I want to sleep with you, I'm used to being pressed against your figure." She opened up the covers and climbed in next to me. "Alright, just watch the ribs..." Her head was already on my chest; and I could tell she was drifting into sleep. "Good night Kim." "Good night..." She replied. My eyelids were heavy, and I closed them. "Sweet Dreams..." I whispered to Kimiko, and then fell asleep next to her. She just cared for me too much; don't know how I could survive and live a life without her next to my side.
Omi's P.O.V.
I was most
ashamed that I had cut Raimundo. "Omi, next time I suggest you do a two
on two match next time." Master Fung said. "Yes Master, I will do
better next time." I replied and bowed to him. "You need to go
apologize to Raimundo." "I did Master Fung, and he accepted"
All the
Master did was smile, and walk away calmly. I wish I knew his secrets
of being the great Temple Master. My group of friends were at the
dinner table, asking about something. "Who gets to feed Raimundo this
time?" asked Dojo. "ME!" I screamed. Everyone did cock an eyebrow but
Kimiko let me. "I have done this too many times." Kimiko muttered and
stalked over to her sleeping quarters. The door of his room was closed,
so I opened it by kicking. Raimundo jumped a foot in the air and then
realized it was me.
"Never scare me like that unless you want me dead." Was all Raimundo said. "No worries friend! I do not want to hurt you!" I set down the tray of food and knelt down near his bed. "I think I can get up now." he remarked suddenly. "Master Fung says you have to stay!" Kimiko came in the room plugging her ears. "Omi, you don't always have to yell, Rai needs his sleep." she explained to me. "Okay, but watch over him." I skipped out of the room and went over to my sleeping quarters... I noticed life was kind of boring without Raimundo there. "Omi?" Master Fung asked. I wasn't in the sleeping quarters, I was in the meditation room! "I am sorry Master, I do not know how I got here." I whispered. "I need to talk to you privately." Master Fung said and motioned me out to the cherry blossom tree. "I am getting old." Master Fung faltered. "Nonsense! You will always be the Master." I replied automatically. "No Omi. I might me retiring." I felt my mouth drop to the ground... Then I fainted.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
"Good to be alive again!" I said and stretched my arms. "Raimundo! Master Fung said you are allowed up now!" Clay ran from the door and gave me a thumbs up. Kimiko hugged me and smothered me with kisses. "Kim, you can stop now!" I stuttered out. "Where's Omi?" asked Jill. "Don't know." Xian replied somewhat quietly. I walked over to the kitchen and sat down on a chair. "Hungry Raimundo? I-I'm cool." he stammered. "Cat got your tongue?" I asked. "We have no cat." Omi's voice still wavered. "THEN WHAT THE CRAP IS WRONG?" I yelled. "Nothing." He waddled out of the room and I felt very irritated. "That's what happens when you get sliced up by a weirdo!" A voice echoed in my mind. ("Shut up Kim.") I responded and drank my glass of juice.
"You are finally back!" Kimiko was still randomly launching herself at me and kissing me all the time. "Stop throwing yourself at me, I know I'm irresistible but you don't have to do it all the time!" I teased. She scowled and crawled into bed next to me, then sighed. "Stop sighing, I'm trying to sleep!" I said. "Okay." Kimiko snuggled close to me and sighed again. "It's annoying!" I sang. "Now I'll stop darling." she replied. "Glad to be back in my own bed with my wife..." I whispered. "Good night." "Good night Raimundo... Also, sweet dreams forever." This time, I fell asleep before her.
