Chapter One: News of a battle

It was cold winter day, and snow was falling all over the temple ground, covering it like a snow globe. Kimiko couldn't sleep even if her life depended on it. She was worried about what Master Fung had told the warriors earlier that day.

"The time has come, my young warriors, for one of the biggest fights in your lives. Wuya is trying to come back into power with the help of Jack and Chase. You need to use all of your skills and your brains to defeat her; I don't think locking her in a puzzle box will work this time. She is willing to do whatever it takes to get her hands on the rest of the Shen Gong Wu. She has no heart and will kill anyone who tries to stand in her way. It is with deepest dread that I send you four out there. "

"Raimundo, I have faith that you have mastered the power of the wind. Omi, I know you have mastered water and ice. Kimiko, as long as your temper does not get the best of you, I know you will use the power of fire to your advantage; Clay, your control over the power of earth will be the greatest help of all. I have faith that all four of you will come back safely, and the powers of the world will be on the side of good again."

The master's speech just kept replaying in Kimiko's head. "If I wasn't worried before that speech, I am now. Maybe if I go get a warm glass of milk, I'll be able to get some sleep"

She headed down to the kitchen. As she open the doors, she saw a tall, broad figure sitting at the counter table. "Eep! I'm sorry, Clay; I didn't mean to bother you"

Clay didn't seem to hear. He looked as though he was lost in his own thoughts, but as Kimiko got closer, she realized he was crying. She heard soft whimpers come from the cowboy's mouth.

She placed a hand on his shoulder. "Clay? Hey, look at me. Are you okay?"

He looked up at her, and she saw through his blonde bangs that his blue eyes were filled to the brim with tears. He sighed and pulled Kimiko into a hug.

"I'm sorry you found me like this; my face must wetter than a cat in bathtub," he said as he wiped a tear off his cheek.

"What's wrong, Clay? Please tell me," Kimiko begged.

Clay let out a long sigh and looked her straight in the eye. "I'm afraid that you or the others with get hurt, and I won't be able to protect you."

Kimiko, who was still wrapped in his hug, looked up at him "Clay, don't worry about me. I'm a strong girl, and I'm pretty sure I can handle what ever Wuya, Jack, or Chase dish out. I'm the dragon of fire, remember? And I know for a fact that Raimundo and Omi can take care of themselves."

Clay now pulled Kimiko into his lap. "Kimmy, can I tell you something?"

"Yeah- shoot, Cowboy," she said as she laid her head on his chest.

He put a hand under her chin and brought her light blue eyes to meet with his dark blue ones. "Kimiko Tohomiko, I love you."

Kimiko was taken aback by his words. She had always had a crush on him, but she had always been too scared to make more than just friends out of their relationship because they worked so close together fighting evil and finding Shen Gong Wu. She didn't want to ruin what they already had.

"I'm sorry...I should have given you more of a warning or something before I sprang those words on you," Clay said, now looking down at the floor.

"No, Clay, it is okay; you took me by surprise. But I would like to tell you something also. I love you too, Clay Bailey." Kimiko said as she placed her lips onto his and they got lost in a deep kiss.

After a while, Clay broke off the kiss. "Aren't you sleepy?" he asked her.

She grabbed Clay's hand and lead him back to his room. As they came up to his door, she gave him another kiss and tried to dash off, only to be caught in a big hug. "I don't know where you are going after teasing me like that. It's like teasing a junkyard dog with a whole cow."

Kimiko laughed. "That's okay. I didn't want to be alone tonight either." She slipped into his room with him right behind her.

She cuddled up under his blankets, and he stood over his bed and looked down at her with a smile on his face. He thought to himself about how beautiful she was, lying on his bed.

"Well, are you going to come and lie down or just stand there all night?" Kimiko asked as Clay took off his warrior robes and put a pair of pajamas bottoms on. As he slipped in next to her, she cuddled into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and they both fell into a deep sleep.

The morning came all too soon for the young warriors, and Omi came knocking on Clay's door. Kimiko was the first hear, and she hid under the blankets so he would not see her. Omi knocked again. This time he woke up Clay.

"CLAY, CLAY, WE HAVE PROBLEM! KIMIKO IS MISSING AND WE THINK JACK MIGHT HAVE NAPPED A KID HER!" Omi yelled as he burst into Clay's room.

"Whoa, quiet down partner! Kimmy's not lost or missing; she is right here," Clay said as he pulled the blankets off Kimiko.

"OH, KIMIKO, YOU ARE ALIVE! WE THOUGHT YOU WERE NAPPED A KID!" Omi said, giving Kimiko a huge hug.

"Omi, it's kidnapped, and I'm fine," she said, pulling him off of her.

"Oh, so were you hiding because we might have to fight today?" he asked her in a sweet voice.

"NO, I'm not hiding." She said through gritted teeth.

"Well, then, what are you doing?" Raimundo asked, standing in Clay's doorway. "Why were you in his room all night long, and what were you guys doing?"

Clay was about to say something when Master Fung entered the small room; he wore a very sad look upon his face.

"What's wrong, Master Fung?" Kimiko asked, scared of what the answer might be.

All the warriors had a feeling in the pits of their stomachs on what the Master was about to say.

"It is time, my young warriors. I was hoping when I talked with you all yesterday that there would be more time for training, but it has come that Wuya is ready and willing to get it down now. I was hoping that she would need more time to come in to power, but with Jack and Chase helping her find the Shen Gong Wu, she has found her power very quickly. I need you all to go to Chase's lair tonight and see if you can get any Shen Gong Wu without them knowing you are there, because if they find you, who knows what will happen."

With those words, the master left Clay's room. Raimundo could hardly stand anymore and said to himself, 'Could this day get any worse?' Omi sat on Clay's bed, wondering what was going to happen next. Kimiko looked up at Clay, who bent down and kissed her forehead.

"We are Xiaolin Warriors- we can do this!" Kimiko said, placing her hand on Clay's bed.

"I reckon the little lady is right; we have the know-how and the power," Clay said as he placed his hand on top of hers.

Omi and Raimundo followed and put their hands on top of the other two. Kimiko looked each one and the eye and said, "We know what we have to do. FIRE!" she shouted.

"EARTH!" Clay said after her.

"WIND!" Raimundo shouted at the top of his lungs.

"WATER!" Omi called out with the rest.

Hearing them down the hall, Dojo looked up at his master. "Do you think those kids are ready for this battle? I'm afraid that some will not come back."

"No, I do not think they are fully ready, but I know they can do it. We have to have some faith in them, my dragon friend," The master said as he and Dojo made their way to the gardens.
