Sick Of You
Chapter 3
Today, he had woken up ready for everything and feeling quite healthy. Although, he was ready for training –anxious even- he wasn't ready for chores. He'll never be ready for those.
Although he must admit, He preferred being healthy than being sick. He had felt so helpless…! Yet, having two days without chores was great.
They have all been worried about him so much, that he felt quite happy to know they cared. Omi was practically his slave, Kimiko became his nanny, and Clay had been his only source to talk. Master Fung and Dojo haven't been there, neither the monks, but he won't complain.
But, it had gotten pretty boring when they where doing their chores, and their training.
He had felt so loved by them, which was starting to affect the way he thinks.
It had been around mid-day, when dojo came to tell them about the new Shen gon Wu. He had come with Master Fung tailing behind him, stoic as ever.
"Hey guys! Another new Shen Gon Wu!" he had said, "You might want to shallow fast!"
Raimundo groaned. Not only was he really hungry, since all he ate had been soup, but also being in the third plate of food, meant that he was not even started!
"Which one is it?" asked Kimiko.
"It's the Star Carpet,"answered Dojo, opening the Ancient Scroll, "A magic carpet embedded with stars that take you anywhere. You know… Like those magic carpets in the kids stories?"
'Why is this pizza so hard to shallow?' Thought Raimundo eating as fast as he could.
They had landed on the Sahara desert, next to Nile River.
"Let me get this straight, if we follow this river we are destined to find Egypt?" Asked Raimundo to no one at all. He suddenly remembered one of History lesions, that the first Settlers where found near drinkable water. Egyptians had the river near, for they talked about it a lot, or so, he learned.
"The Star Carpet is here, so start digging!" Said Dojo, reverting to his gecko-like form.
"Earth is Clay's element. Let him do it. If I use my element, I might make a sandstorm" Said Raimundo.
"Just dig, Rai, unless you are unable to even do that" Said Kimiko.
Jack Spicer definitely needed time for re-building robots. Yes, it was easy, but can you blame him for the fact that he actually thought of something, and spend two days celebrating…?
Wait… that didn't came out right…
Well, anyway, the point was that he didn't have time to prepare! Not only that, but being caught on a sandstorm was not pretty.
Yep. Being an evil boy genius was not cheap. Specially, in the company of a Heyling ghost, screeching at you.
Did Raimundo ever mentioned how he loved undulating after a good day of retrieving Shen Gon Wu, without Jack ever showing up?
Yes, it had taken a time to actually dig it up, and a lot of sweating, but when Clay found it, he could already imagine the feeling of cold water on him. He had lived on a Tropical place, but the desert was way too extreme for him.
The only thing he could enjoy now was the wind against his face…
When they came back, the first thing Raimundo did was heading straight for the showers. He ditched his friends at Master Fung's side, who was putting an example to Omi about the ends and flows in life. He didn't care. He heard it already. It was hot, it was summer, and he certainly did not like staying sweaty all times.
As soon as he opened the bathroom door, he saw something odd. First, there was someone there already. Second, it seemed to be a girl. Third, she was naked. And oddly enough, her mouth was…
"AHHH!" The girl screamed, covering herself, and blushing madly, "O-o-occupied!" and she slammed the door on his face.
He stood there in shock, not reacting. He didn't even notice when master Fung came, alerted by the scream. The others where tailing behind him, wide eyed and alerted.
"What has happened, Young One?" He asked alerted.
Raimundo turned really slow. For some reason, He couldn't believe there was another girl in the temple besides Kimiko.
"T-t-t-t-there…" he said pointing to the closed bathroom door, still in shock.
Master Fung sighed. He has expected to introduce them all to her, but he certainly wanted to give her more time to heal.
"Anna, Child, are you the one in there?" asked Master Fung knocking on the door.
"Y-yes, Master Fung…" said a voice coming from inside of the bathroom. "I-I'm sorry…"
"Child, are you well enough to come outside?"
"Yes…" The door opened slowly, and the others where waiting in anticipation, trying to take a better look. There stood an average size girl, with long light brown wet hair, head bowed down, and dressed in white pajamas.
"Dragons, meet Anna Nohana. She is the grandniece of one of our monks. She will stay here for two moths before the jury takes decision on where should she stay." Said Master Fung. "Anna, these are Clay, Omi, Kimiko, and I believe you've met Raimundo already."
"Hiya"
"Hi!"
"You are most welcomed here"
"T-t-t-t-t…." Apparently, He was still too shocked to talk.
They where now dinning with Anna. She has been awfully shy; keeping her head bowed, and was blushing constantly.
Raimundo just stared at her. He haven't had a lot of "Outside" visit, so he almost forgot what people looked like, especially girls his age.
"Well, now Kimiko can have a female companion beside stinkin' men" Said Clay.
"Yeah!" Agreed Kimiko happily. Now, she could talk to something breathing, and not to a cell-phone.
Raimundo just stared at Clay. "I hope when you mean stinking men, you're about talking by yourself, Clay." Clay just chuckled lightly.
Raimundo was most happy. He could now eat ALL he wanted. He will eat until his tummy was filled with food.
Anna Nohana was currently staying because her Mother died, three weeks ago. So, the jury, send her to a Temple filled with monks, under the supervision of her Granduncle, for the meantime of deciding who should she stay with. Apparently, Her Honor thought it would be best for her, since it was a nice environment, and could bond more with him.
Her mother met his father on a trip to Japan, for a job offer. After that, they decide to leave to America, where they settled on Kissimmee, Florida. Her parents had divorced when she was 2 years old, and her father died when she was 9 year old of Hepatitis C. Her mother, died on a car crash.
"Um… m-may I… Have the s-salt?" She suddenly asked. All of this attention was awfully overwhelming.
Omi was kind, although a bit arrogant sometimes. Kimiko was also kind, a little bit snobbish, but you typical Girly Hot tempered girl. Clay was a little bit Intimidating due to his size, and the accent was something she wanted to hear more often. She loved the Cowboy accent. Raimundo, seem like the type of kid who would choose sports over Academics, and someone who was born an Athlete. Not only that, but she bet he would be popular in her old school.
"Yes, you must certainly may" Said Omi passing the salt. She directed him a shy smile, and muttered a thanks.
It was now nighttime, a perfect time to lay his tummy to rest. Dinning was amazing. Period.
He thought about the new girl. He didn't know what to make out of her, only that she would blush every time someone looked at her. She was a Blushing machine.
He felt asleep, thinking about discovering more about her.
Author's note: 09/02/05
I bet I lost respect by introducing her. No, I will not put any romance now, and I did say I wouldn't make a Kimundo. I will start developing later. I just hope some of you might stay for later…
