Chapter 50: Does it Really Matter What Happens?
Kimiko's P.O.V.
Omi was feeling more up beat ever since Master Fung said he did the right thing. Well Fung then. "Monks!" I ran down to the kitchen table and expected to see Master Fung with the bowls of rice, but I saw a tired looking Omi with burnt rice. "Man! What did you do with the rice! Now I can't eat it!" screamed Raimundo. I glared over to Raimundo then said "Good try Omi, I bet Master- I mean Fung used to do the same thing when he was little!" Clay came in and was about to open his mouth and make a bad comment; but he saw my face and began eating. "This grub is g-great Omi. Hope you make more." Clay lied and shoveled more food in his mouth. "Clay! Don't talk with your mouth full!" I ordered and looked over to me and narrowed his eyes a little. Now, since I was married, I was like the mother of the place... That meant washing all their dirty clothes and dishes. That would be SO relaxing... (I'm being sarcastic!)
"Bye Kimiko!" The boys all shouted and ran outside for training. "Leaving me to do all the boring stupid cleaning!" I muttered to myself and I heard Fung come in. "Does something trouble you Kimiko?" he asked. "Yes, why did you leave the position? You were such a good leader, and I loved how you trained us!" I said. "Because my bones are becoming and Omi is growing stronger, he was better than me... He deserves being the Master of the Temple." I scrubbed my plate and put it down. "I will take it from here Kimiko, you must go train with Master Omi." Fung winked at me and I smiled back weakly, was training with Omi going to a disaster or... A really big disaster?
Raimundo's P.O.V.
"That's no fair!" I screamed and chased after Omi. "You are not paying attention Raimundo! I was doing this to teach you lazy" He began running off with my soccer ball. "Come back stupid!" I yelled but he kept his feet moving at a fast rate. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Clay shake his head and take off his hat. I groaned and stopped running. Let's do some flying... Light as a feather, that's what I felt like. Omi's big head was behind me and I was about to crash into him, he kicked me in the stomach and kept running. "How did you know I was going to do that?" I asked and wiped the mud off my face. "Tiger instincts, and you were casting a very queer shadow. Learned your lesson yet?" I nodded my head and went back inside for a shower, I walked pass Kimiko.
"OH MY GOSH! YOU ARE A MESS! STOP TRACKING DIRT IN THE TEMPLE!" Kimiko pushed me all the way to the sleeping quarter, and took all my clothes off. "Frisky are we?" I asked. "NO! Get in NOW!" With a final push, I was in the shower; in very cold water. But I was the Dragon of Wind right? After I finished doing that, I put on my clothes and walked out the door. Kim was mopping all the dirt I got every where with a mop, and she noticed my presence. "Raimundo, you are so going to clean this up!" She sounds like a mother! "I heard that! Now get to work!" she commanded. "Make me your majesty." I crossed my arms and smirked. Her hands caught on fire and I didn't hesitate to scrub the floors clean. "I was just kidding! Can't you take a joke?" I asked.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
"That should do it Raimundo! Now it's time for lunch!" I said and skipped away. Raimundo followed me, and he seemed a little happy about going somewhere and doing something else instead of cleaning. "Lunch is ready!" Omi remarked. I plastered a small smile on my face and took a chunk of rice from my bowl. "This is very good Omi." I replied and Raimundo scowled over to me. "Yeah Omi. Very good, I hope you can try cooking something else!" Raimundo spat. "Rai! Be nice!" I elbowed him in the ribs and Omi didn't seem to notice everyone was lying... Fung came in the room and looked at our rice. "Perhaps I shall teach you how to cook Omi." he said and put my bowl of rice on the table again. "But Fung! I am the Master now! I don't need teaching!" Omi replied stubbornly. "Even a Master doesn't know everything." Fung responded and walked away. "Do you think I need training in cooking?" asked Omi. "Not at-" I stopped because Raimundo was gripping onto my shoulder hard.
"Omi, a Master needs to learn everything that is possible. So go learn... Now!" Raimundo finished his pep talk and Omi sped away. "You know Raimundo... I don't think his cooking is that bad." Xian said. "Me neither..." Jill chewed her food, then she spit it out. "Never mind people, I was kidding!" Jill added to her statement. "Do you really think my husband's cooking is bad?" asked Xian. I burst out laughing and she looked at me strangely. "It's just weird to know that Omi is engaged!" I squealed and Raimundo joined the laughter. "Married people think the same..." Clay said. Soul mates think the same too. The thought ran through my mind and I glanced at my ring, it was shining brightly.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
"Now Omi. Add a dash of rosemary..." Master Fung was telling Omi directions, and he was clueless. "What is a dash? Do I have to run in the bowl to stir it?" asked Omi. "No Omi. Not like it sounds..." Fung put a hand on his forehead and shook his head, I knew it would be very tiring for an old man to teach someone so... Not good at stuff besides fighting. "Yo Omi, you have a long way to go!" I taunted and ran away. My door was open, so I walked in; Kimiko was laying down and she looked like she was sleeping. Her figure was beautiful, she has a skirt on that hugged her hips and her pale skin was radiating from the light, her lips were a perfect red... "Raimundo, you can stop flirting with me in your head, it's not going to work." she muttered. I kissed her on the lips and she kissed back eagerly. ("Now that is better!" "Just did that to shut me up right Rai?" "No...")
"It always comes to oral right?" asked Kimiko. "Hush up Kimiko, you loved it." I replied and kissed her again. "Now what time is it?" "It's like... Omi should be done cooking now!" Kimiko exclaimed. I rolled my eyes but she didn't seem to notice. "We got to go see him!" she said. "We got go see him!" I mimicked. Kim scoffed and put on some clothes. "New clothes every time we do something like this? They'll get suspicious!" I warned Kimiko. "We are married, it's normal to do that!" She hissed. I shrugged and walked out the door with her.
Omi's P.O.V.
I cracked an egg, and mixed it into the rice, that would make it tasty. "Very good Omi. You have learned well." Master Fung said. "I may be the Master of the Temple now, but you are the Master of me." I bowed to him and he bowed back. "Omi. Do not dwell in the house of the past." he said and took off. "I wish I could learn how to disappear into fat air." I mumbled. "It's thin air genius." Raimundo corrected me, and I smiled. "That too, now try my new rice." I watched Kimiko take a little bite. "This is as good as Master Fung's!" she said. "Fung. Just regular old geezer Fung." Raimundo added and ate his food. "What is a geezer?" I asked. "Nothing, just you Omi. When you get old." he responded. "Raimundo!" Kimiko slapped him and I went over to the counter. "There needs to be some more for Clay, Xian, and Jill!" I remarked and went to work.
"Ha! I win again!" I was playing tag with Kimiko and Raimundo. "So not fair Omi!" Raimundo screamed and took off. This was going to take a big jump... "Leopard Strike!" I pounced onto Raimundo and Kimiko rushed over. "Are you hurt? Did something happen? Talk to me!" Kimiko was stroking his hand and looking at him lovingly. "You think I would be knocked out by Omi? Not a chance." declared Raimundo. "If that is what you think..." I replied. "No! Don't hurt him!" Kimiko said. Raimundo raised an eyebrow at me and stood up. "Doesn't really matter now right? He's going to get me one day." he grumbled and walked away. "It might... Because I am the Master!" I jumped in the air, and finally I was happier than ever.
