Ah yes, shower me in praise XD no, just joking. Anyway, I am finally bringing back the importance of the bluebird! YAY! I forgot about before ; so it's back in this chapter in some form; memory, battle, torture 00 whatever.

dArkliTe-sPirit: And it's read "This hasn't happened since…Dashi and his overdevelopment. And when that happened the biggest mistake took place." Okay, you got that, but then:

Then it goes to Fung "The making of Sheng Gong Wu."

Fung continues the statement, okay?

Raimundo angst is commonly used in fan fictions, I know. But, I just had to do one ; I swear! I have a strange problem of when I really like a character, I must place them in a death/angst/torture scene 00 it's really weird. Most would want the best; I want the worst…then best XD.

Sorry for the looooooonnnggg author's notes, but then again, book introductions and stuff are even longer than half a page.

Oh yes, I would like help on the Portuguese XD the translator is REALLY bad.

The parentheses that I add are additions to the story, not author notes. If you read the Harry Potter books, there are more than plenty of that in them. Just, I don't put dialogue.

I would also like to add, Dowager not only means who gains the stuff from her dead husband, but a respected elderly lady. And Wuya is over a thousand years old…and she's respected in some aspect…so…I'm just gonna put it in cause I need vocab to fill. If that didn't make any sense…sorry.

Raimundo washed his hands, the all the soap in the whole temple at his disposal and he couldn't wash out the feeling. The water ran warm and cold, the feeling still wouldn't disappear.

He slapped his hands until they were red, he bit his own hands, and he stepped on his own hands. The feeling still won't go away.

"Damn," he cursed, "It hurts." he rubbed his hands gently and went around to look for ice. The very thought of the blood made him shiver uncontrollably. He cursed one more time.

Xia stared at him from a distance and sighed, "This is getting ridiculous," she thought, "Should I tell him?" she pondered, sipping the tea.

"Master Xia, where is the ice?" he surprised her.

"We're out, I can make some if you like?" she settled the cup on the table and pointed to her hand.

Raimundo raised an eyebrow, "No, never mind."

Xia pointed at his hands, "Why are you rubbing them? They get caught in something?"

Raimundo dropped his arms, "No," he walked away, "No."

An eerie silence filled the small room. Xia shivered, "I think…I'll go train."

There was something wrong. It seemed so very wrong, they lost to Jack Spicer. The Jack Spicer who was so stupid and wimpy that even his little baby cousin could out wit him.

And alas, there they were sitting under the shade of the tree, three Sheng Gong Wu short. The shroud of shadows, third arm sash AND the new Sheng Gong Wu, wings of Tinabi. It was all…lovely.

"Do no be depressed my friends," Omi smiled, "At least we did not lose the serpent's tail!" he laughed nervously and sighed.

Kimiko pouted, "That's because it's all the way back at the temple in an air tight vault." she sighed, "This is so depressing."

"You can say that again," Clay snapped the tree branch off and quietly apologized to the tree, "This was more embarrassing than being Uncle Brandy on Christmas day."

Omi slumped over on a rock, "I am dumped in the garbage cans."

"Down in the dumps, Omi." Kimiko sighed, "Down in the dumps."

"Oh yes," Omi rolled over falling off the rock, "That too."

"Come on," Dojo cried appearing from the tree, "Cheer up! At least we are safe from Wuya's return as evil queen of the world!"

"Dowager Princess," added Kimiko "Isn't there someone more evil than her?"

"Yes," shivered Dojo, "But I don't want to say their names."

An uncomfortable silence filled the air around them. The birds sung and the river rushed.

"Okay, I am officially bored."

"Bluebird," a faint tweet, "Here in China." a beautiful melody plays in the air.

Raimundo brought out his hand and whistled, "Here, come here." the bird cocks it head and hops on his finger. Raimundo smiled, "There, there," he cooed, "Be calm."

Calm, a word that wasn't common around here.

Seeing the bluebird made him calm, happy. Why?

Raimundo whistled a tune.

Xia watched, "Loves the bluebirds?" she sighed and rubbed her head, "Bet a bluebird could bring him out of a tunnel of pain." she leaned against the doorway.

Raimundo whistled a tune.

Master Fung's punishments, was to wallow in the guilt that they built up. Master Xia's punishments were a lot more…difficult if you will.

Clay struggled to keep himself balanced, "This is impossible," he wobbled, "Is it?"

"By what she said," Kimiko gasped, "This was actually used.

Omi stayed perfectly balanced, "This is very easy for an apprentice like me!"

Xia came by and placed a pile of books and weights on his head, "Try it now Omi." she walked away.

Omi teetered, "Never mind what I said."

Raimundo was settled next to Kimiko, "I guess I'm glad I was held back." he snickered and stood up, "Well, good luck!" he ran away laughing.

Kimiko growled, "Oh, if I wasn't on this thing, I would…" she barked…literally.

"Come on, you can balance on a one legged stool!" Xia smirked as she appeared; "The whole point in this is to focus." she momentarily became serious, laughed, and then walked away.

Their eyes followed her, "What was that about?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

He sighed and turned off the shower faucet, "Shower." he mumbled randomly and shook his head to release some water from his hair.

A banging on the door, "Hurry up Rai!" it was Kimiko, "I need a shower!"

"Just getting out!" cried Raimundo. He wiped the water from his face and wrapped a nearby towel around his waist.

"Come on, you take hour long showers! I've been waiting forever and I'm coming in whether or not you are ready!"

"Ew, pervert."

"I'm not a PERVERT!"

Raimundo snickered; "Maybe I'll just stay in here all day." he sat on the bathtub edge, "You can always use the hose outside."

"WHAT?" Kimiko started to kick the door, "I'm going to strangle you, you, you…bastard!

Raimundo smirked and stood from his where he sat, "Fine, I'll come out." he ruffled his wet hair.

"Thank God…"

Raimundo opened the door to face a pissed Kimiko, "Here you go my lady, the bathroom is ready for your pleasure." he pressed his back against the door.

Kimiko huffed, slightly flushed, "Thank you." she mumbled and rushed in.

Raimundo closed the door and sighed.

Omi walked up to the bathroom with a towel in his arms.

"Bathroom used by a girl." Raimundo pointed to the door, "Better to not go in."

Omi stared at the door, "Why's that?" Omi cocked his head slightly, "I do not understand."

Raimundo coughed, "Um, yeah, women have different parts then we do. And it's really bad that we see their…parts." he coughed again and scratched his head.

Omi shrugged, "Okay." he walked away to the other bathroom next to this one, "I'll just go in here."

Raimundo smirked, "I wonder why Kimiko didn't use the other one?"

"That's because there was a cockroach in there!" shrieked Kimiko.

Wuya smirked a ghostly smile. It was in her head, that pendent, swinging back and forth, back and forth. She did wonder where that damn spirit went after it brought her back into the box. After seeing that pendent, she could sense the aura emitting from it.

The time was coming; it won't be long before she can truly fulfill world domination. The only thing to do is to obtain the serpent's tail, destroy the pendent and obtain its powers, and then…to kill…

"WUYA!" Jack screamed interrupting Wuya's train of thoughts, "Did you see my monkey staff?"

Wuya growled, "Jack, I'm not your mother. It's on the table." she pointed at the lit table in the middle of the whole dark room.

Jack laughed nervously, "Oh, ah, thanks." he grabbed the monkey staff.

Wuya gasped, "Oh, it's a new Sheng Gong Wu!"

Dojo started shivering, "It's called the Wushu helmet…WAIT!"

Wuya started swimming in circles, "There is more! It's the silver manta ray!"

Dojo started to literally bounce off the wall, "There is another one! It's the glove of Jisaku AND the thorn of thunder bolt!"

Wuya was shooting in and out of Jack, "Hurry! HURRY! We must obtain ALL of them!"

Dojo was twisting himself around Clay's neck, "Hurry, before I die from anticipation!"

Clay choked, "You mean until I die from your strangling!"

Xia paced back and forth nervously, "This isn't good," she bit her thumb nail, "Shit." she cursed.

Raimundo sat on a chair, "I have to stay behind, right?"

Xia screamed, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" she slapped him upright his head, "THIS IS THE BIGGEST THING EVER! YOU HEAR ME? E-V-E-R!" she cried and grabbed her head stopping where she was, "Oh my God, why have you forsaken us DASHI!"

"Dashi?'

"Never mind," coughed Xia, "Never mind."

"I'm nervous," Raimundo gasped, "Really nervous."

Jun scoffed, "Don't be," she played with his hair, "Just be yourself."

Raimundo could only laugh, "That's what they always say." he sighed and looked at his shoes.

Jun patted Raimundo's back, "Raimundo, you are strong. You'll be fine. Don't be afraid to show the world that you are alive." she smiled and looked at the temple, "Ah, I haven't been to China in so long." she shaded her eyes, "Oh look, I think you better hurry. I see your master up front."

Raimundo nodded, "Um, I'll see you Jun, and-"

Jun hugged him tightly cutting him off, "Bye, bye Raimundo. Be happy."

Strange, they usually say have fun. Does that mean something was going to happen?

"Be happy."

Raimundo gasped, "Where am I?"

"On Dojo," replied Kimiko, she was grabbing Raimundo by his waist, "We had to hurry and Master Xia wouldn't stay behind…so we just brought you as you were." she flushed, "Now grab on so I can let you go."

Raimundo rolled his eyes, slightly flushed, "Yeah, yeah."

"There," Dojo pointed to the deserted island, "On that island!"

"Great," Clay sighed, "It's all gonna be in a nut shell."

"Oh," Omi was excited, "What kind of nut shell?"

Clay shook his head slowly, "Forget it Omi."

(XS)

Yay! Are you happy? I made it short because…I just can't continue like this! XD have fun!

Yes, shorter, so what?
