Okay, well I'm gonna try following Argles-Chan's advice and watch my spelling and grammer in this chapter. And sorry I only have the story set out for 6 chapters. I would make it more, but I honestly cant think of a way to make it longer and still make it sound good. I'll try to think of something, but I doubt that decision will change. Okay, well enjoy chapter 5!
Disclaimer: Okay I'm sick of saying the disclaimer so I'm gonna drag Raimundo in here to say it this time.
Rai: What the? Where am I?
Me: That's not important right now. Just do everyone a big favor and tell them that I dont own the show your in.
Rai: Uhhh... but-
Me: JUST SAY IT!
Rai: Aye, alright alright! This crazy person here- uh name?
Me: Ash, and I AM NOT CRAZY! Well, maybe a little...
Rai: Riiiight... Well, Ash does'nt own Xiaolin Showdown. There, happy now?
Me: Yes, very much, thanks. You can go now.
Rai: But I just-
Me: GO!
Rai: Sheesh alright alright fine. I'm outa here. Oh, enjoy this crazy person's story.
Me: Yeah! Hey wait a second... Hey! Raimundo!
I'v Been Meaning to Tell You
chapter 5: Still No Luck... and a Demon Frisbee
It was now the next day after the whole beach chair incident. It was late in the morning when Raimundo was walking past the kitchen, but quickly stopped and pinned his back to the wall next to the entrance. He peered inside and saw Kimiko and Clay.
" So Kimiko, what'a ya reckon your gonna do today?"
" I'm not sure actually. I might go for a swim later, since I dont know where my beach chair is. It's so wierd, because I left it on the beach under the tree yesterday, but when I went to get it it was gone." Raimundo sweatdropped and winced ; thinking of his painful recent experience, and the painful experience he'd have if Kimiko found out.
" Yeah, Rai always said theres no better place to be swimm'in er surf'in than Rio. I bet he's real happy to be back in his home town for some relax'in." Clay stated.
" Yeah thats true." she replied.
' Oh yeah I'm so relaxed. Being nervous to death and having approach plans literaly blow up in my face is the ideal vacation!' Raimundo thought as he headed in the other direction to his room.
" Kim did say she was going swimmimg. Hm, maybe I can use that to my advantage. It just needs to be us two though. No Clay, Dojo or- "
" Raimundo? "
Rai nearly sprung up to the cieling in surprise when he heard a voice behind him. He spun around and saw the curious face of the yellow headed monk.
" Jeeze Omi, dont sneak up on me like that!" Raimundo said throwing his arms up in the air.
" I am sorry Raimundo. I was just wondering what you were doing. What was that you said about Kimiko swimming?" Omi asked while raising his hands a bit in front of him and taking a few steps back. Raimundo became lost for words as he searched his thoughts for an answer to his question. Then he calmed down when he relised this was Omi he was talking to here. This would be easy.
" Well I was just saying she looks hot when she's swimming, thats all." Raimundo said with a sly expression on his face. He knew Omi would'nt get it.
" But, would'nt she want to become cold by going into the water if she was hot? Why would she be hot if she is swimming?" he asked completely confused.
" Nevermind Omi, forget I said anything." Rai said, thinking he'dwon and that was the end of this discussion.
" May I tell Kimiko that you believe she is hot while she swims?"
" No no! Dont tell her that! " Raimundo said quickly, now becoming a little more frantic thinking that Omi would tell her that.
" Why not?"
" Uh... uh, wellIgottagotomyroomnowtofinishupsomestufforwhateversobye!" ( well I gotta go to my room now to finish up some stuff or whatever so bye! ) Rai said to quickly to understand then bolted around the corner. A dumbstruck Omi just stood there bewildered.
" I wonder what is consuming him? "
" Thats EATING HIM Omi!" Rai's voice rang out from in side his room in the hall around the corner.
" That too!"
A WHILE LATER OUTSIDE
Raimundo walked along the beach in just his swim trunks. It was a perfect day ; not a trace of wind, just pure sunshine. He stopped walking when he saw Kimiko out in the water. She was so graceful out there, and as she shook her head and her hair whipped the water dropplets onto the waves, it was like time had slowed down. Even through the distance he could see her eyes, bluer than the ocean and clear sky, and hear her heartwarming laugh.
It took Raimundo a second to snap out of his trance and continue walking. 'Okay, this is it. I cant believe I'm finaly going to tell her.' he thought as he got closer and closer. With each step the sound of his rapidly beating heart grew louder until it was all he could hear, and then...
" Raimundo look out!"
He turned and tried to jump over the out of control frisbee that was hurdling towards his legs, but was to late. It hit his ankle while he was suspended in mid-air and sent him flying into the sand yet again. This was the second time the uncoordinated killer demon frisbee was out to get him, and the third time he got a taste of the beach.
"Ugh I think the beach is begging to be eaten this week. Or is it just me?" he asked sarcasticly to know one, then looking up a little to the sky. " Someone up there must realy hate me." Rai stood up and spat out the sand while also dusting it off his musculartorso and out of his hair. Omi ran up to him and began his apologies.
" I am mooost sorry Raimundo. It seems I am not very skilled at throwing the flying disk accurately. Are you injured? "
Raimundo turned his head back to Kimiko and hisheart sank. She was now accompanied by Clay and Dojo, and just seeing this made his heart ache worse than his ankle was.
" No I'm fine." Rai replied, still watching the other three out in the water.
" Hey Raimundo! Omi! Come on in, the waters great!" Dojo called before diving off Clay's hat.
" Yeah come on Omi! Rai you too! Dont let us hog all the fun! " Kimiko called out to them also.
Rai smiled when he saw Kimiko turn around and smile at him. He and Omi raced into the water and they spent pretty much the rest of the day swimming.Although, as long as Clay, Omi and Dojo were around, Raimundo could never get the chance to tell her that day. But he was'nt ready to give up just yet, no way. He was gonna tell her during that vacation if it was the last thing he did, no matter how many times his ideas failed! And even despite his new fobia, niether would that demon frisbee!
Okay, now I need some help. I dont want to end this with only 6 chapters, so time for some suggestions. Alright if anyone can think of something Rai can try to do to be alone with her to tell her for the next day, plus something that happens that'll ruin that moment, could you tell me? I'm starting to run out of beach themed ideas here. I'd realy appreciate some suggestions! Please R&R!
