Chapter 49: Omi? Are you alright?
Kimiko's P.O.V.
I was walking with my husband in the garden, he did buy some new roses for me to plant... "See? I told you that they would look outstanding right there!" I exclaimed and he crossed him arms. "Yeah, but I like the first ones better!" I could tell he was trying to tease me, but I didn't fall for it. Instead, I kissed him and he eagerly did the same to me. He pulled away and I heard a "Young Monks! Meditation time!" I groaned and Raimundo scooped me up in his arms, bridle style. "Hey! This is not funny! Put me down! Or I'll bite you! Drop me now!" I begged. "No can do darling." he replied. In ten minutes we finally made it to the room, and everyone was looking at both of us. "You were supposed to arrive earlier." Master Fung said. "Sorry Master." I responded and glared over to Raimundo, he was bowing.
During my meditation, Raimundo was constantly poking me. ("Quit it now.") My voice in my head sounded over to him. ("Make me girl.") He replied. I opened my eyes to punch him and figured out that everyone was already gone. "What? How did Master Fung and the whole party of people leave so fast?" asked Raimundo. "Maybe because we had perfect focus and we weren't disturbed even when he said it was time for lunch stupid!" I hit on the head in mock seriousness and he flushed a red color. "Bicker like an old couple." Raimundo muttered and got up. I ran over to the kitchen, they were eating. "Bout time you got here partner." Clay said in his accent. "Well if you tapped me on the shoulder!" I started but Omi waved it away. "I did my friend, but Raimundo was to busy poking you." He replied. "Oh." I felt the anger rising a little, but when I looked into Raimundo's green eyes my anger faded.
"Love birds at 6:00!" Dojo screamed from the other side of the table. I snapped out of it and helped myself to my bowl of rice. "What are we going to do today Master Fung?" asked Raimundo. "Omi will have a special announcement to make after dinner." Master Fing retorted. The color drained from Om's face once again. "Omi? Are you alright?" I asked him and pet his head. "Yes Kimiko. I am most nervous. But I am fine." Omi said. "Oh sure, yeah. We believe you Omi." Raimundo's voice said, he was being cocky again. "Raimundo! Give the little guy some space!" I scolded and rolled his eyes over to me. "Do you have any clue what it's going to be about Kimiko?" asked Xian. She hadn't said anything for a while.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I listened in on the conversation and tried to guess what Omi had to say. "Are you an alien?" I asked. "No. Nothing like that." He replied. "Will you be leaving the Temple?" "No." Omi played with his food and I narrowed my eyes. "TELL ME!" I ordered. "Raimundo. Settle down." Kimiko hissed, she was just like a mom. "I will tell you when the time is right, and the Master is as wise as always." Omi replied. "Fine." I gave up and stormed out of the room, but I wasn't in a bad mood. I turned my head and saw that Omi had left the table, but Xian was looking down at the floor. "Whatever it is it's bugging everyone, and I need to find out." I mumbled to myself and walked over to my room. "You don't have to find out." Kimiko said and lay down on the bed. "Yes I do, my friend can't be sad, he was always there for me." I replied. "Raimundo, you have a soft side." she whispered. "Sometimes." I was scared of myself now, some part of me was being very nice.
"Taking a shower!" Kimiko told me and walked into he bathroom, I flinched when I heard the door lock. Rats... I pulled out my diary and began to write: (In Dairy) Thank god that Kimiko hasn't read this, I hide it pretty well even though we live in the same room. But I have figured out that I care for people more now, I used to think Omi was useless... But how would we do anything without the little chum? Kimiko was surprised also, but she has seen my rare soft side. I guess I need to go, she's screaming something now. Aug. 2nd, 2005. (End Diary page.) "What Kim?" I asked. "I need my towel!" She shrieked. "Fine your Majesty, I will get you your towel." I said playfully and grabbed it from the bed. She scoffed and took it from me, then wrapped it around her body. "No peeking." she muttered sternly and took it off.
Omi's P.O.V.
Sweat was dripping down my forehead, and I felt cold all over. "Omi?" Xian walked in my room slowly and I smiled weakly. "Do you need some time?" she asked. I shook my head and she tip toed back out. Why was I so scared? All my loyal friends wouldn't be there... Nothing to fear! I took a blanket and wrapped it around me, Xian came in the room carrying a steaming pot. "Here you go." She dumped it into a little cup and I drank out of it. "Thank you." I whispered. "That's I am here for. But why are you so worried? You didn't even tell me what it's about." "You will see Xian. I need to pass the test, and then it will happen." I replied. "Will I have to wait like everyone else?" Xian asked. "Yes, it will be most hard and... Sad." I coughed a little and looked out the window, it was raining, just my luck.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
Dinner passed, and Omi was silent, I was asking if he was okay but he pushed everyone away from him, and ate in silence. We all finished our food, and walked outside. Master Fung was standing outside; he did look kind of happy. "Omi." Master Fung whispered. Omi walked over to him and he began the speech. "If I beat Master Fung in a battle I will get the place of Master of the Temple." I gasped, Raimundo's eyes grew bigger, and Clay hung his head and stuttered. "What will happen to our Master Fung?" Clay asked. "I will live in the Temple." replied Master Fung. "Yes Master." I could hear Omi choke a little and then go into a fighting stance. "You beat evil, that means you can beat me." "But you have more strength than him Master! You have heart." Omi faltered. "That may be true. Sorry Omi." Master Fung flew at Omi and he dodged. "Don't go easy on me Omi." A single teat fell from his eye and he wiped it away. "Sorry Master." Omi mumbled and gathered his chi from the rain.
"Tornado strike WATER!" Omi yelled and the water all around him raised up to the air, he did look stronger. With a single thrust of his hand, the water hit Master Fung, but it didn't hurt him that much. Master Fung kicked and Omi blocked, I allowed a tear to escape my eye. "Ha!" Omi blocked and did a flip, and knocked the Master down. The battle went on and on, and I could tell fatigue was taking Master Fung down, slowly. "Sorry." Omi shouted and kicked him one more time, I watched him fly into a wall and faint. "NO!" Omi cried and ran over to him. "Look like you won." Jill gasped. Clay picked the Master up and carried him over to the medical room. "Come on Omi." I ushered him over but he didn't move. "No. I have hurt the Master."
Raimundo's P.O.V.
Omi refused to come in, and no one dared to go outside, it was storming. I went out the door and looked over the sky, I loved this weather. "Are you sad?" I asked. "No, but I hurt him, I didn't want it to end this way Raimundo." Omi replied and fell into the mud. "It's not your fault. If you didn't want it to end this way, then what way would you want it to end?" I asked, and waited for the answer, but it never came. "Com back in the Temple when you are done moping around." He nodded and I ran back inside.
"Raimundo, how is Omi?" The Master had finally woken up, and he didn't bleed. "Sad." I responded and slumped into a chair. "You actually spoke to him?" asked Kimiko. "Yes I did, and I wanted him to be his cool old self." I remarked. "You have changed ever since we got married. That's just so weird." Kimiko stated. "He's my friend, and friends need comforting too." I closed my eyes and felt her kiss me on the lips. "Remind me never to call you stupid again." "I will." I picked her up and walked over to my room, Omi was just walking in, and he smiled at me. "Friends stick up for friends too." I noted and fell asleep with Kimiko on my bed.
