Disclaimer: This is the fourth chapter, so I will say I do not own Xiaolin Showdown, but I own Serge, the Sword of the Elements, Shenkyo, and other characters and shen gong wu (not from the show) that will pop up later.
ChronoLegend: I'd like to thank Diamond-shine and Kosmic for the reviews. I am sorry about the said stuff at the end of chapter three, and I will say no more for now since I don't want to spoil anything about my story. Now on with the story (can someone go comfort Rai while the story goes on. He's still upset about you know what).
Chapter four
"KIMIKO WAKE UP!" Rai shouted, as he wanted to see Kimiko not seem lifeless.
"C'mon Rai. It's been a long day. We should head back to the temple," Serge said.
"Raimundo. We will be sure that Kimiko is not … uh you know!" Omi said trying to cheer Rai up, but instead, he soon started to cry.
"C'mon partner. Kimiko will be up and running again as soon as she gets up…" Clay also started to doubt himself and shed tears.
"Let's go before I start shedding tears. Don't forget to bring Kimiko along," Dojo said.
"You guys go on first. I need to do something," Serge said.
"Come back in one piece," Clay said.
Clay, Omi, and Rai went of back to the temple and Serge went of in his own direction.
"Why did Serge go by himself?" Omi asked.
"I don't think we should butt into other people's business Omi," Clay answered. "Besides, we've got our own problem."
"Now… if I'm right, from when Kimiko got slashed by that Shenkyo demon, she was pouring lots of blood, but when she said her so called last words, I still sensed the fire burning within her (an ice dragon has to be able to feel the heat of course)," Serge wondered. "I'm pretty sure she's alive. Looks like I need to find her…"
Back at the Xiaolin Temple, Master Fung also heard the news of what has happened to Kimiko. "Master Fung, what should we do now? We do not know what has become of Kimiko and Serge went off on his own for his own reasons," Omi said.
"My young ones, you must not give up hope on Kimiko. She may very well still be alive," Master Fung said.
"Yes Master Fung, but she was attacked by an evil demon know as Shenkyo!" Omi said.
"She may have been attacked, but have you ever thought that she could survive from something like that?" Master Fung still tried to hint something, but the others still couldn't understand. "You will learn in time young ones."
"What do you think Rai's gonna do Omi?" Clay asked.
"I do not know Clay, but just as Master Fung said, we cannot give up hope on Kimiko Maybe Kimiko is trying to fool us as part of her elaborate plan, so that Shenkyo might think that Kimiko dead when she is still very alive!" Omi answered.
"MUAHAHA! Those Xiaolin fools cannot defeat me. The one with the wind element is probably cryin' to his mommy by now! BWAHAHAHA!" Shenkyo shouted in laughter. "…WHO DARES SNEAK UP ON ME?"
"Hello there Shenkyo… I am Wuya. You have most likely heard of me. The evil witch who fought against Dashi!" Wuya said.
"… Never heard of it. What do you want puny ghost lady?" Shenkyo asked.
"What do I want? I want an alliance! With you and me together, we can rule the world!" Wuya shouted.
"How can you rule the world with see through hands?" Shenkyo asked.
"Just get me two things and I will become human again! With all of my abilities, we will crush everyone in our way!" Wuya shouted.
"Why should I help you if I can rule the Earth without your help?" Shenkyo asked.
"With two times the evil, we can make world conquest TWICE AS FAST!" Wuya shouted.
"Hmmmm… Interesting…" Shenkyo thought of the offer.
Back with Serge… he ends up walking up to a strange place, like some kind of pub.
"She's probably in here. Why does a person like her hang around here anyway?" Serge asked himself.
Serge went into the pub and saw the crowd inside. "Look… Who brought the wimpy guy?" some guy said.
"I can't believe she can put up with this…" Serge sighed. "Bring it on old man!"
"OLD MAN!" the man shouted. "I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT THIS OLD MAN CAN DO!"
The man was charging straight at Serge, but Serge only stepped aside sticking his foot out making the man trip and hit the wall. "I think you watch where you're going," Serge said.
"Who do you think you are!" all of the other people shouted.
"Oh great… Glacier Strike Ice!" Serge shouted.
Millions of mini ice sticks formed and were all shot at the people, stabbing and pinning them to the floor. Then, only two people were left unpinned, the worker at the counter and a teenage girl with pink hair and wearing a white shirt and jeans. "… I know that attack… Serge? You're here?" the girl turned around to see who was there.
"You guessed it. I'm gonna need you're help… well… sort of I guessed she dyed her hair again," Serge answered.
"What do you need me for? You don't usually ask for my help," the girl asked.
"Just c'mon. I'll explain on the way," Serge said.
The two were off. They went to the same place where they fought with Shenkyo, and then Serge pulled out the Sword of the Elements. "You're gonna use that shen gong wu thing again? Tell me, where are we going?" the girl asked.
"Where we're going? To the Xiaolin Temple!" Serge exclaimed.
"…" the girl sighed.
"?" Serge was puzzled. "Sword of the Elements Wind!" and they flew off.
"Man this sucks. Kimiko is gone and Wuya left me. I have nobody to be with now!" Jack shouted. "I need something to cheer me up. Building more Jack Bots won't help… Maybe I should go for world domination with the shen gong wu I have or I could try to find more shen gong wu before they reveal themselves…" Jack Spicer had no idea on what to do.
Back at the Xiaolin Temple… Omi and Clay were waiting for Serge to return to see what he was going to do, while Raimundo stayed in Kimiko's room with Kimiko. "…Uhhh… We cannot tell what has become of Kimiko and Serge has not returned yet…" Omi sighed. "Look Omi!" Clay exclaimed.
Two little specks in the sky came flying by and landed in the temple. "'Sup Omi!" Serge said.
"Serge! You have returned! And who is this person you have brought with you?" Omi asked.
"I believe you've brought someone who can help Kimiko right?" Clay asked.
"Not help. Check on," Serge explained.
"Check on?" Omi and Clay asked.
"Who are these guys?" the girl thought.
Everyone went into Kimiko's room. The girl saw Rai sadly staying by Kimiko. "Serge… You want me to check whether this girl is alive or not don't you…" the girl whispered.
"Uh, yeah… She kinda suffered a pretty bad injury and everybody here just wants to know whether she is alive or not," Serge whispered back.
"sigh ok… I'll do it," the girl sighed.
She asked Raimundo to move away for a second. "What do you think you're doing?" Rai exclaimed. "Don't do anything to Kimiko!"
"… Don't worry. I'm only checking whether she is alive or not…" the girl said.
"………" Raimundo started thinking.
"He's had a hard time," Serge explained.
Raimundo got out of the way and the girl began to use magic. "! What kind of sorcery is this?" Omi asked.
"She can't really heal Kimiko, but she should be able to check whether she is fine or not," Serge explained.
"This is most fascinating! I have never seen magic before!" Omi was excited.
"………" the girl continued her scanning. "……! I'm done. This girl. Her name was Kimiko was it? (everybody nods and Rai gets nervous) Kimiko is just fine. (everybody sighs in relief) She just needs to rest. I just don't know how she got these scratches," the girl explains.
"She was attacked by a demon," Raimundo explains. "But I'm glad she's okay. Thanks."
"I guess I should go now…" the girl said.
"I think you should stay," Serge suggested.
"You have proven yourself well. How would it make you feel if you stayed here, for I sense that you're a dragon," Master Fung explained.
"! How did you kno… I mean, sure… I guess," the girl was startled.
"Oh yes! We do not know your name!" Omi came out of Kimiko's room.
"Ummm… I'm Colette," Colette said.
"Yes! That is a good name!" Omi exclaimed.
"She's… uh, kinda shy around people she doesn't know," Serge whispered to Omi, Clay, and Raimundo.
"Now young ones. We must get some rest. Tomorrow is a big day," Master Fung said. "Oh, and Colette."
"Yes…" Colette asked.
"I will tell you what kind of dragon you are tomorrow," Master Fung told Colette. "And I will let you go back to your home tomorrow to get anything that you need."
"Okay…" Colette said.
In the middle of the night, Serge and Colette get up and go outside. "Colette? You're up too?" Serge asked as they both sat down on the porch or the temple.
"Umm… Yeah…" Colette replied and seemed kinda troubled.
"What's wrong Colette? Does it have something to do with coming here before?" Serge asked.
"No… you know we both got over that," Colette answered.
"We've known each other and this place for quite a while…" Serge said.
"Yeah," Colette agreed.
The next day, Kimiko finally wakes up! "Uhhh… Where am I?" Kimiko asked feeling very dizzy.
"Kimiko?" Raimundo asked as he walked by Kimiko's room.
"Rai? Is this a dream? Am I still alive?" Kimiko asked.
"Kimiko! Yes it's me Raimundo, this is not a dream, and you're definitely alive," Rai answered.
"Oh Rai," Kimiko sighed in relief.
Rai and Kimiko moved closer to each other and even moved their lips closer to each other. "Oh! Kimiko! I'm glad to see that you're okay!" Omi exclaimed as he passed by.
Kimiko and Raimundo quickly pulled away from each other. "Kimiko," Raimundo whispered to Kimiko.
"Yes Rai?" Kimiko whispered back.
"Meet me by the big tree outside in the courtyard when we get our free time. We have a new dragon, so we probably will get the rest of the day off," Raimundo explained.
"Okay," Kimiko agreed.
After breakfast, everybody went outside to find Master Fung who is going to introduce Colette. "Everyone, Colette is a new dragon. Omi, Clay, Raimundo, and Serge already know her," Master Fung explained. "Kimiko, this is Colette and she is the dragon of light."
"Hi there Colette," Kimiko greeted.
"Hi Kimiko," Colette replied. "I'm glad that you're feeling better.
"How did you know about… that?" Kimiko asked.
"I believe I should leave now and let you all to get to know one another," Master Fung said and left.
"I know this because… I am the one who confirmed and told everyone that you're still alive, so nobody would have any worries," Colette explained.
"Well, thanks," Kimiko thanked Colette. "I'm glad you're here to stay anyways. We don't have enough girls around here." Kimiko and Colette started to laugh.
Later during the day, Kimiko and Raimundo met up at the spot next to the big tree that Raimundo talked about in the morning. "I'm really glad you're okay now Kim," Raimundo said.
"Thanks Rai," Kimiko thanked him.
"I guess we can finish what we started this morning," Raimundo said.
"Sure," Kimiko agreed.
While Kimiko and Raimundo were busy talking, Clay was still teaching Omi how to use a lasso and Serge and Colette were catching up on old times, but Serge and Colette were also watching Kimiko and Raimundo.
Back under the tree where Kimiko and Raimundo were standing, Raimundo and Kimiko were very glad to see each other again and soon they continued what they tried to do in the morning. They got close to each other and kissed.
ChronoLegend: Well, that's all for this chapter. I didn't want to say much earlier because I didn't want to spoil that Kimiko is still alive. Also, just to let Kosmic, Diamond-shine, and all those RaiKim fans that read my story know that I had no intention of having Kimiko die in the first place. Sorry for the sad part in the end of chapter three again. Please review my story. This is after all my first fanfic and I would love to receive reviews and some criticism.
Raimundo: Wahoo! Kimiko is not dead! But why didn't you tell me that you had no intention of having Kimiko die?
ChronoLegend: Sorry Rai. I didn't want to spoil the story to anyone. Thanks again to all those who reviewed my story.
