(A/N: Hey guys! Hope you liked the last chapter! I'm going to try and update everyday. Usually I can. Especially on weekdays since there's no school. Ok. ON WITH THE STORY!)
(Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown or the characters.)
I paniced. What was I suppose to do? I looked around, trying to find a way out. Rocks were build up high making it impossible for anyone to escape. I whimpered. "Ok Kim, deep breath. Omi and Clay are probably getting help."
I said that over and over. I heard a groan. Raimundo was awake. He gave a weak smile. "Are you loco, girl? Running through those rocks…"
I gave a smile back. He saved me. I kneeled down. "You saved me. Thank you."
He shrugged, though it looked painful. "Someone had to do it, right?"
I gave him another sweet smile, showing my appreciation. I winced. "Those cuts….you got them…because of me….am I right?"
He stopped smiling. I let out a groan. How could I have been so stupid? Rai risked his life for ME! ME! All because I didn't move. How stupid. I cursed myself. I took out my backpack, looking for something I could use for his cuts. Luckily for him, I bought water. But I needed a cloth. I looked through the backpack and took out a scarf. I real silk scarf. It was a COACH brand, but it doesn't matter. I took out a bottle of water and poured a bit of water on the scarf. Taking it, I dabbed his cuts. He was trying to hold in the pain, because I could tell by his face. I felt so bad. After a couple of minutes, he took the scarf from my hand and his eyes widened.
"A COACH SCARF! You've got to be kidding. Do you know HOW expensive this is?"
I rolled my eyes. "Oh well. I have plenty more back at the Xiaolin Temple."
I gave him a weird look after that. "How do YOU know anything about coach stuff?"
He smiled. "I have sisters, you know. AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS WANTED COACH THINGS. Seriously girl, you're totally spoiled."
I laughed. "Yea…I kind of noticed. And OH YEA…now do you know why I carry backpacks?"
He thought about it. Having a backpack basically SAVED US. We have water, and I can clean his cuts. I also bought a snack, but just a couple of bag of cookies. He rolled his eyes. He knew I was right. "FINE! You're backpack saved our lives and I'm truly grateful….HAPPY?"
I laughed. "YOU BETTER BE."
After washing his cuts, I tied the scarf around his leg, which is where most of the cuts were. As he tried to get up, he let out a yelp and sat back down. He blinked a couple of times. "I think my leg's broken."
"Yea….you think?"
I took out my bag of cookies and offered one to him. He took it and we ate it in silence. He sighed. "This is boring."
I nodded. But what else were we suppose to do? I looked at him. "You know what, this is a time we can get to know each other better."
He groaned. "GAH. You sound like my parents."
He made mimicking noises. I giggled. Sure it was stupid, but it was Rai. Everything's stupid. "Oh shut up. It's true! We should get to know each other better!"
He rolled his eyes. "Fine…"
I smiled. "Ok! Now….let's see….how many brothers and sisters do you have?"
"Uh….3 brothers, four sisters…..ok my turn."
He thought for awhile. And looked at me slyly. "Have you ever wanted to kiss, oh I dunno, me?"
I gasped. What kind of question was that? I hesitated. "Why? Why would you want to know?"
He laughed. "Duh, you said that we needed to know each other better, and I want to know, what you feel about me. So I asked you, have you ever wanted to kiss me? I mean, of course you'd want to, I mean look at what a cute guy I am." He gave his cocky grin.
I smiled. And had an idea. I got close to him. Really close. I gave my sweet smile. Rai looked at me. "Actually….the truth is.."
I got closer. And I moved in till our faces almost touched. Smiling, I whispered, "Gotacha."
I giggled and pulled back. He gave rolled his eyes. "Please, like I'd fall for that."
I could tell he did though. "Don't take it the wrong way Rai. That was just pay back for stealing my diary today."
He laughed. "Yea….I guess I deserved that."
I raised an eyebrow. "Really, now?"
He nodded. I looked at him awkwardly. He looked at me. "Yea. I realized, how insensitive I was."
He got up and got close to me. Of course, I shouldn't have fallen for that. He was probably doing the same thing as me, but I couldn't move. He was so close. But then I realized, "Hey, yo----"
SPLASH! I screamed. And pushed him down. He started laughing. Hard. I punched him in the arm. The splash was water. He took the water bottle and splashed water in my face. I looked at him, though also laughing. "HEY! YOUR LEG! I THOUGHT IT WAS BROKEN!"
He smirked. "Gotacha."
My mouth fell open. "YOU….you lied!"
"Duh."
I took a cookie and threw it in his face. He got up and ran, and I chased after him. We laughed, and ran. It was fun. I seriously haven't laughed this much in forever. He really knows how to liven things up. We ran farther down into the cave. The rocks blocked the way out, but not the way in. As I caught up with Rai, he stopped. I looked at him. "What's wrong."
He took my face and pushed it till it was facing the front and I gasped. In front of us was the prettiest waterfall you have ever seen. The water sparkled as the moon light shined onto the water. I looked back at Rai and he looked at me. I smiled. "Isn't it pretty?"
"Yea. You are."
I blushed furiously. Did he say I was pretty? Smiling, I kissed him on the cheek which probably surprised him. And then, payback. Giggling, I pushed him in the water which surprised him EVEN MORE. He laughed. "Hey, help me up!"
I smiled. I knew what was his plan. But to tell you the truth….I wanted to get it too. As he reached for my hand, he pulled me in. Duh. I know, but hey. I laughed. "You know, you're so obvious."
"So then why'd you help me?"
"That's for me to know, and for you to find out."
He smirked. "Than…I guess…"
And you won't believe it. HE TICKLED ME! He pushed me down and my laughter filled throughout the cave. The water was shallow so I didn't choke. Laughing, I managed to say 'stop'. But of course, he didn't. I pushed him off with all my might and he stopped.
"You're a PAIN Rai."
"You bet I am."
I got up and wringed out all the water out of my hair. Taking the hair band out, I shook all the excess water out. For some reason it began to get colder. Shivering, I walked out of the water. Rai did the same. We were both worn out. I mean, wouldn't you? Running, throwing food, it took a lot of energy. We walked back to where everything was. Rai yawned.
"You tired, Kim?"
I nodded. I took out a jacket from my backpack. Yea….I jacket. Riding on a dragon in the air is very cold. I turned wanting to offer it to Rai, but he was already asleep, out cold. I giggled quietly. "Rai, oh Rai."
I took my jacket and placed it over him. He needed it way more than I did. I mean, he deserved it anyways. Even though he'd tease me, cause trouble for me, he did save me. And I was grateful. I sat down on the cold hard floor. Unlike Rai, it took me a while to fall asleep unless I was REALLY REALLY tired….like now. But I couldn't. Usually I'd listen to my Ipod at home, but of course, I didn't bring it. So I decided to think. You know, talk to myself in my head. It just gives me time to collect my thought.
Rai popped into my mind. I remembered how he told me I was pretty. It was totally random, and I bet he didn't mean it. But…I just….
I could feel my face turn red. I could just feel it. I looked at Rai, sleeping peacefully. I laid down on the floor, facing him. He was just as cute as you'd think. His brown hair had grown longer, bangs too, that covered his face. He had the cutest smile ever. I could just imagine him giving his usual cocky grin. I rolled my eyes. I decided to put my head down, using the backpack as a pillow, though lumpy. Yawning, I decided to at least try to sleep. After a few minutes, I felt drowsy, and soon…..I drifted away…
(A/N: Hey guys! Ok. I hope you like this chapter…it was….eh…kinda random, them fighting over stupid weird stuff…but that's what love does to you….right? Lol. I just thought it was fun. Anyways, I'm working on the 3rd chapter already. I type pretty fast, I just have to think about it, which takes me longer than it should. And remember, this is kinda like two stories. After they get save, another thing pops up. Ok? And I'm guessing this story is going to be a short love story. So at the end, I was hoping some of you have suggestions on another story I COULD write?
