Yes, be confused, be very confused XD. To be honest, I'm making up the story as I got. It's the only way I can write XD. I plan it when before I sleep (Yes, I kinda talk to myself in bed….I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THAT!). Anyway, if you're confused, than I don't know, I didn't feel like continuing the last chapter so blah.

I purposely did all of that…stuff. XD yeah, um, there is a reason for the mysterious woman and she play a part in Rai's life. I don't see him as a little orphan on the streets...though every city has a bad part and he is possibly part of it.

So, in music class, we read some books on the Hispanic region (if this offends you, tell me and I'll change it right away.) and I picked a Brazil book. So, I read some things about body language on there. You know all of those stereotype Italian chef things? Brazilians do that (aka kiss their lips with their fingers.) and the other thing where the fingers are pressed together and faced up and moving the hand up and down…yeah…Brazilian. XD it was so weird. I read the whole dealie about snapping. They snap when they're in pain, when someone's is in trouble, blah. And they snap in some way I can't do XD. Look, I read this, if this seems inaccurate…sorry. Oh, also, I read that the letter 'X' is pronounced like 'SH' (I think, I forgot sort of) in Portuguese (or Brazil) so that might explain why it says "Xiaolin Showdown" instead of Shaolin or whatever.

Oh my gosh, I am over analyzing this whole thing. XD gonna stop…now.

Oh yesh, www. dictionary .com is the site….just no spaces. When you get on the homepage, search for translator/translate link. Then TADA! You can translate the Portuguese I put on the first chapter.

Man, I write one of the longest author notes ever. Anyway, XD Raimundo/Kimiko hinting….sort of, XD I hate romance. I don't know why. I just find it too sappy for my tastes. I like angst…

Fear the OC's XD I am my own enemy. They don't affect much in the plot line, except for maybe one. But she has to be in the story line, no romance, she's like…thirty some 00. XD ya, and Jun and Xia are names. I checked on the internet. The whole thing shall soon be clear.

Raimundo sighed and strung the pendent around his neck, "Oh well." he stood from where he was and stretched his arms.

"Hey Rai," Kimiko poked her head in, "You feeling okay?"

Raimundo nodded and pulled the clump of hair from his eyes, "Yeah, I guess." he cleared his throat, "What time is it?"

Kimiko checked the watch on her wrist, "Seven o' clock p.m." she smiled, "Just in time for dinner." she smiled, "Need help?"

Raimundo clicked his tongue, "I'm not a baby." he tried a step forward and fell on his stomach, "Ow." he lifted his head, "What's wrong with my legs?"

Kimiko laughed, "You've been "asleep" for five days!" she sighed, "You hit your head on a rock."

"Oh," Raimundo tried standing, "But standing is fine." he tried another step forward. This time he caught the curtains, "And the walking part is just…"

Kimiko ran under Raimundo's arm and wrapped her arm around his torso to support his body, "Let me help." she pulled him along as he staggered through the hallway.

"Thanks." Raimundo smiled.

Kimiko smirked, "Now, in exchange for this, I want you to get rid of the virus in my PDA."

"You drive a pretty bad bargain."

"Shut up."

(XS)

"Two hundred reais."

"Oh dear," she stared at her purse and sighed, "Here." she handed the money to the cashier and grabbed the bag full of gifts, "Oh dear!"

"Need help lady?" the cashier asked.

"Oh no, I'm fine." she smiled. She balanced all the items in her arms and somehow walked out of the store door without hitting, knocking down, or tripping on anything.

"Raimundo will love these!" she stared at the soccer equipments in the bag and smiled happily.

"Stop thief!"

She looked to the right of her, "Great." she placed the items on the ground and stepped in front of the thief.

"Hey Chinese lady, get out of the way!" he held out a gun, "Or else I'll shoot."

Everything was a blur. But after about five seconds, the burglar was on the ground holding his groin and the young lady was dusting her jeans.

She cleared her throat; "I don't tolerate thieves." she snorted and bent down to get the bag full of…things.

"WATCH OUT!"

(XS)

Raimundo's eyes glittered. The package was for him, "YAY!" he grinned.

"Oh," Omi jumped around the box, "What's inside?"

Raimundo started to open the box, "I don't know, but I do know it's from Jun." he smirked.

"Who is Jun?" Omi stopped jumping.

"The lady who took me in," he pulled the rest of the tape off, "She was the one who started my successful circus career." he pulled open the flaps, "Score!"

Inside were soccer balls, pumps, new clothes and new shoes, plus stuff that were for his friends (As indicated by the note.).

Omi's eyes went wide, "Oh is there anything for me?"

Raimundo shook his head slowly, "Yeah, there is." he pulled out a abnormally long package that indicated it was for Omi, "Here." he threw it.

Omi caught it and opened it quickly, "Oh, what is this?" he laid the long wooden sticks on the ground.

"Ah cool stilts!"

"What are these…stilts?" Omi stared at the stilts.

Raimundo picked them up and stood them parallel to each other, "You walk with them," he indicated the steps on them, "You put your feet here and walk."

Omi climbed on as Raimundo held them, "Like this?"

Raimundo nodded and let go.

Omi started to wobble. Forward to backwards and to the side, he finally fell.

Raimundo smacked his head, "You need to move not just stand there!"

Omi snapped his head up, "Well, it may seem as if that is easy to you," he stood up and flailed his arms, "But I cannot move like you say so!" he shrieked. He continued to rant on and on about how embarrassing it was that he was an apprentice and so on and so forth.

Raimundo rolled his eyes and walked away not wanting to hear the end of the useless rant.


"The circus?" he stuffed the piece of bread in his mouth.

"Yes," she smiled, "You'll love the circus. You really will."

He stared at the poster on the table. The colors attracted him; bright red, blue, yellow, green and purple. There were clowns and acrobats; strongmen and ballerinas. He swallowed the food in his mouth, "It looks fun." he muttered.

She ruffled his hair, "Good, good."

He never knew that joining the circus instead of seeing the circus was an option.

"Join the circus."


Raimundo opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, "What's happening to me?"

(XS)

"I challenge you Jack Spicer!" Omi pointed at Jack, "My reversing mirror against your shroud of shadows! The game is follow the leader!"

"Aw, that's not fair!"

"Fine," Omi growled, "The game is truth or dare!"

"Alright Omi, I accept your challenge."

Kimiko raised an eyebrow, "Truth or dare?"

"It's a free…showdown." Dojo shrugged.

"Xiaolin showdown!" they cried in unison. The whole scene changed into your typical seventies talk show scene.

"What the hell," Raimundo looked around from his audience seat, "What is this?"

Kimiko's eye twitched, "It's so tacky."

"It's like grandma's Sunday best." Clay whistled.

"GONG YI TAMPAI!"

Omi pressed his button, "Jack, I dare you to," he thought for a moment, "Call me the greatest, strongest, swiftest warrior you have ever seen!"

"That's it?" Jack cried, "Can I get an opponent with some vision here?"

"JUST DO IT SISSY BOY!" Raimundo cried.

"I'M NOT A SISSY BOY!" cried Jack. He sighed, "Fine, Omi is the greatest, strongest, swiftest warrior I have ever seen." he blew a raspberry.

Omi smiled pleasantly, "Oh, you flatter me Jack Spicer." he cleared his throat, "Make your move!"

Jack smirked and slapped the red button, "I dare you to pull your pants down and jump up and down with a squirrel in your hand!"

Omi twitched, "Squirrel?" he squeaked.

Jack laughed "evilly", "What's wrong? Scared?"

A small cute squirrel appeared from the ceiling and landed on Omi's head. It squeaked happily and made itself comfortable on the round spot.

Omi exploded and screamed bloody murder and started to run in little circles, "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" he fainted right there.

"YES!" Jack thrusts his hands in the air, index and pinky finger up, "Jack Spicer has done it again!"

The whole place went back to the normal.

"Ha, ha, the crystal glasses, reversing mirror and the shroud of shadows, is mine!" the metal rock music played as he laughed away into the sky.

Clay picked up Omi, "Hey little fella," he pulled the squirrel away, "You okay?"

Omi groaned, "Oh no, I am most ashamed of myself." he sniffed, "I have lost three Sheng Gong Wu." he sighed.

"Aw, it's okay Omi," Kimiko gently touched Omi's bald head, "You're afraid of squirrels."

"Again," Omi jumped off of Clay's arms, "It was most shameful." he crossed his arms and looked up at Kimiko.

"Man," Raimundo laughed, "I wouldn't say we left empty handed." he picked up the crystal glasses.

Omi gasped, "Oh joy!"

(XS)

"YOU FOOL!" Wuya cried nearly deafening Jack, "HOW CAN YOU DROP THE CRYSTAL GLASSES!" she growled, "IF ONLY I WAS SOLID!"

"Wuya, Wuya, Wuya" Jack smirked, "We still have the reversing mirror." he held up the mirror, "We're half-way there!"

Wuya groaned and floated away cursing the boy who was her very doom.

(XS)

Raimundo sat on the window edge and stared at the moon. He didn't want to sleep. He sighed and ruffled his hair; "This is getting stupid." he stood from his perch and walked to his cubicle.

He eyed the soccer ball in the corner, "Well, if I can't sleep, might as well play." he grabbed the ball and ran outside snickering all the way.

"Alright!" he cried and threw the ball in the air.

The ball fell and bounced off of Raimundo's foot. It was kicked to the left and right, kicked into the air and was bounced off of Raimundo's head.

Raimundo laughed the familiar feeling of the heart pounding excitement of his favorite sport.

Kimiko watched him. All the laughing and kicking woke her up. She smiled and yawned, "Better get back to sleep." she walked away.


"Come on Raimundo, you can do better than that!" she cried from the below.

Raimundo shivered. He was shaking with fear.

"Don't worry Raimundo," she cried, "You're being supported by the rope! You won't fall! And if you do, there's a net!" she pointed to the net.

He swallowed, "Okay Jun!" he jumped for it. Unfortunately the rope snapped releasing Raimundo. He screamed in utter fear.

"Oh my GOD!" she ran under the net, "Pedro, I told you to fix the hole!" she yelled at the man on the platform.

"I did!"

Raimundo started to cry, "Please God, don't let me die." he fainted. He felt himself fall on something soft…and warm.

"Raimundo, are you okay?"

"…are you okay?"


Raimundo opened his eyes and found the sun in his face. He turned over quickly and rubbed his eyes, "Damn," he cursed, "This is bull."

He stood up looked around for the ball. He spotted it under the tree.

"Heh, someday, this curse will be the death of me." he muttered and sighed with a sarcastic smile.

(XS)

"Hey partner," Clay looked up from his frenzy of eating, "Where were you?"

Raimundo cringed slightly. "Dude, close your mouth." he sighed and sat next to Omi, "Same goes for you little guy."

"Looks who's talking," Kimiko pointed her chopsticks at Raimundo, "You think your all etiquette?" she scoffed.

"Whatever," Raimundo grabbed an apple, "Hey, where's Master Fung today?"

Everyone gulped.

"Don't you know Rai?"

Raimundo shook his head slowly, "No, I don't."

"Monks," she appeared, "Hurry and finish your breakfast."

Raimundo turned his head, "What's going on?"

And there she stood, tall and smirking, "I am Xia," she crossed her arms, "And I'm substituting as Master in this temple.

And all hell broke loose.

(XS)

"My legs hurt."

"Everyone's legs hurt Rai."

"Not me! I have the strongest legs….okay, now they hurt."

"This is even worse than being a flea in a sea of dogs."

"What?"

"Never mind."

Xia stepped in, "This is a strength exercise," she walked back and forth, "All of you will meet greater evil than Wuya. You must develop strength in your legs. They are more important than your arms."

The four dragons were sitting on air in the middle of the hallway with weights on their laps.

"If this is to develop strength, then why are you destroying our ability to feel our legs?" Raimundo asked.

Xia slapped his head, "Don't underestimate the limit of your strengths." she sighed, "You are all children, but you are all extremely strong."

They all started to twitch.

"Please Master Xia, let us go!"

Xia smiled, "Okay, you may rest."

They all flopped down groaning and sighing with relief.

"But first, clean the floors."

Raimundo cursed loudly, "Oops." he slapped his mouth.

"Kimiko, what does-"

"DON'T SAY IT!"

(XS)

"Master Fung!" Jun smiled and closed the magazine, "How are you?"

Master Fung smiled, "I am well, I can see you aren't doing so fine." he sighed.

Jun laughed, "Aw, I'm getting prosthetics. It's just my legs, not my life." she smiled, "But shit, it's going to be a time to explain to Raimundo." she thought to herself.

Master Fung sat on the chair nearby, "Now, I have something to tell you about Raimundo."

Jun smiled sadly, "That he momentarily joined the Heylin side?"

"No, something worse…"

Jun frowned, "What…" she stared eye to eye with him, "No, it's too early," she laughed, "It can't be."

He could only nod.

"Shit," she cursed, "Damn it to HELL!" she spat, "This hasn't happened since…Dashi and his little overdevelopment. And when that happened, the biggest mistake took place." she growled.

Master Fung pressed his fingers on his forehead, "The making of Sheng Gong Wu can not happen again." he strained.

(XS)

Xia nodded her head as she held the telephone in her hands, "Yes, I understand." she dropped the phone on the base, "Damn you Dashi," she growled, "You just had to become a grand master, didn't you?" she kicked the stand and stalked away.

(XS)

"What?" Raimundo cried, "Why can't I go?"

Xia scowled, "Because…" she looked at the bucket and mop at the corner, "The floors are still dirty and someone needs to stay behind!"

"But, Omi, Kimiko or Clay can do that!" Raimundo cried, "Or even Dojo!"

"Hey," Dojo growled, "More respect for the fifteen-hundred year old dragon!"

Raimundo was desperate, "I have to go! We all do! We're the four dragons! Not three!" he grabbed his head, "There were actually four musketeers, not three!" he held his hand up with four fingers up.

Xia sighed and held her forehead and looked out the window, "I'm sorry, but it's important that you stay behind."

Raimundo growled, "FINE!" he stomped away.

Xia looked down at Dojo, "You think I should have told him the truth?"

Dojo shook his head no, "He would probably try out his new attacks. Just like Dashi."

Xia smirked and clicked her tongue, "This is bull," she growled, "Jun just had to continue her legacy." she laughed.

Dojo sighed, "Better get to the others," he started to slither away, "I wonder what their reactions will be?"

"I bet you one-hundred-sixty Yuan Renminbi that they'll be glad." she smirked.

"You're on!"


Raimundo clutched onto the soft blanket around his body, "Where's my mom?" he asked the officer, "Where's mommy?"

The man looked at him sadly, "Oh, um," he bent down to Raimundo's eye level, "She's not here at the moment." he smiled sadly.

"Oh," Raimundo looked at his feet. A hole was in his socks, "Can you tell mommy to come back?" he looked up, "I can't find teddy."

"Oh crap," another officer appeared, "You didn't tell him?"

"I can't tell a kid?" hissed the first officer.

"Tell me what?" Raimundo started, "Where's mommy?" his voice rose, "WHERE'S MOMMY?" he yelled, "DAD DID SOMETHING TO HER, DIDN'T HE!" he screamed, "DIDN'T HE?"

"Raimundo," the insanity, "Mommy's under the blanket, she's sleeping." he laughed.

Raimundo eyed his insane father and ran towards the stretcher, "Mommy-"

"Kid! DON'T!"

Raimundo pulled the red and white sheet off. His eyes were wide; he gripped the blood stained sheet in his hands. The blood on the stretcher piled over the edge and splattered on his socks, "Mommy?" he let go of the sheet and grabbed one of her hands, "This isn't funny," he laughed, "It isn't Halloween."

"Kid," the officer pulled Raimundo away, "Look away." he tried to cover the kid's eyes.

Raimundo slapped it away, "Mommy's dead, isn't she." he started to cry, "Daddy was always talking about how he was going to get revenge on everyone. He said he wouldn't hurt me," he wiped the tears from his cheeks with his fist, "But he lied to me. He hurt me." he wailed and buried his face into his hands.

"Mommy's under the blanket, she's sleeping."


Raimundo gasped, "Crap," he cursed and stared at his hands, "It won't leave me alone."

(XS)

Oh wow, I both cursed and made it more violent. XD I made it too angsty, but I just figured that this could be what happened.

Okay, so I read a summary on the episode "Omi Town" and everyone, except Omi, gets gifts for Chinese New Year. Unless it came with a note saying "From Mom and Dad." it is from Jun XD.

I created two OC's, not one, TWO! Wonderful, I'm gonna try to make them NOT Mary Sues. So far, Xia isn't really one, and Jun is sort of one. REMIND ME TO MAKE NO MORE OC'S!
