Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child

05: Unknown Origins

"Huh?" said Ryan as he opened his eyes, "Where am I?"

He sat up and looked around him. All around him was darkness.

"Okay…" said Ryan "I'm not liking this…"

"Ryan…" called a voice from the darkness.

"Wha…Who's there?" gasped Ryan as he spun around.

"Ryan…" called the voice again.

Ryan looked around and saw a figure approaching him,

"Ryan…"

"Kimiko?" said Ryan, as the figure came closer. It was Kimiko; she was slowly walking towards him.

"Kimiko!" said Ryan "What's going on? Where are we?"

Kimiko said nothing as she stepped closer to Ryan.

"Ryan…" she said softly.

"What is it Kimiko?"

"WAKE UP!"

The sound of Kimiko's cry echoed through the temple and Ryan's ears.

"OW!" cried Ryan as he covered his ears "What the!"

He looked up, and saw that he was back in his room, with Kimiko standing over him.

"Kimiko! What was that for!" said Ryan as he sat up, rubbing his ears.

"You were asleep, and its best way to wake someone up"

"I was asleep?" said Ryan as Kimiko pulled him to his feet.

"Omi came to check on you an hours ago and he said you were "In like a light", anyway its time for dinner" said Kimiko as she walked off towards the kitchen. Ryan yawned as he stretched his arms.

"Note to self…" sighed Ryan to himself as he left his room still rubbing his ears "Don't let Kimiko wake you up by screaming, especially when dreaming…"

Kimiko and Ryan entered the kitchen where Raimundo, Omi, Clay and Dojo already had their heads bent over their food, stuffing their faces with food. Kimiko groaned as she saw the odd bit of food fly around.

"I hope Ryan isn't like the others…" thought Kimiko,

"Hey Kimimo!" said Ryan with his head bent over his food, stuffing his face with food, "Come on, your food is getting cold!"

"I spoke too soon…" groaned Kimiko slapping her forehead with her hand.

After a few minuets of intense eating, Clay looked up from his food,

"So partner, what do you think of the temple?"

Ryan swallowed his current mouthful of food,

"Its okay" he said "I like it"

"Do you think it is cold?" said Omi halfway through an egg roll.

"You mean Cool, Omi" said Raimundo and Ryan at the same time. Upon saying that, they both looked up at each other, their eyes locking. An awkward silence fell over the table as they stared at each other. Raimundo eventually broke the silence.

"You got good skills…" he said as he ate his last egg roll.

"You too…" said Ryan putting another spoonful of rice in his mouth, but still keeping his eyes on Raimundo "I'm not that good at wind attacks, so I mainly use electrical…"

"Does that make you an electric Dragon?" said Kimiko

"No" said Dojo looking up from his food "Electricity is a sub-element of wind, like ice is a sub-element of water"

"Anyway, I'm not a dragon" said Ryan as he went back to his food "Only you chosen's can be dragons, but just because I'm not a dragon doesn't mean I can't use the wind element"

"Yeah, whatever…" sighed Raimundo as he tried to steal the last egg roll from Dojo,

"Hey! Get your own!" shouted Dojo as he tried to stop him.

"Any way, I want a rematch" said Raimundo as he swallowed the roll before Dojo was able to get it back.

"You got it, Rai!" said Ryan as he finished his last spoonful of food, "Next time we get a chance, we have the rematch"

"Good" said Raimundo as he looked back at Ryan "I'll get a proper chance to kick your butt!"

"Not if I kick it first!" said Ryan as he stared back.

"Okay then" said Raimundo as he stood up from his seat and lent over towards Ryan, "You're on!"

"Fine!" said Ryan as he stood from his seat and lent over the table towards Raimundo, so his face was close to Raimundo's.

"Okay!" replied Raimundo.

"Fine then!" replied Ryan.

"Fine!"

"Okay!"

"Okay! Your both fine!" moaned Kimiko, "Now will you both shut up! I'm trying to eat here!"

Ryan and Raimundo both sat back down, still looking at each other. Master Fung walked into the room, who must have heard the argument.

"Raimundo and Ryan, In order for us to work as a team, you must put aside your differences" he said as he looked down at Ryan and Raimundo. Both of them sighed as looked at each other with disgruntled faces.

"Okay…Rai, I'm sorry for hitting you with a thunder bolt" sighed Ryan as he held his hand out; his voice sounded like he didn't completely mean it.

"Yeah…I'm sorry too" said Raimundo as he held his hand out and shook Ryan's, his voice was the same tone.

"You still owe me a rematch…" whispered Raimundo as he released Ryan's hand.

"Now that then that's settled" said Master Fung "You are free to do what you want until bed time"

Everyone got up from the table and made a dash for the door.

"But before you go" said Master Fung "Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay and Omi, I want to have a brief word with you…"

"So, what do you think of Ryan" said Master Fung as he sat down at the table.

"He's okay…I guess" said Raimundo

"He seems nice" said Kimiko

"He is will make a good Xiaolin Monk" said Omi "Of course he will need training from me, the world's greatest…"

"Not now, Partner" said Clay interrupting Omi before he went into a speech on how great he was.

"Well, I'm sure you would like to get to know him as soon as possible" said Master Fung "But it would be wise not ask too much about his past"

The monks gave him a confused look.

"Why not?" said Raimundo getting to his feet,

Master Fung got up and walked towards the door, "He will tell you why when he is ready…"

Later on that Evening...

Kimiko sighed as she looked at her clock, 9:54. For the last hour, she had been in her room surfing the web like she does every night. Her mind however, was full of questions,

"Who is Ryan? How come he has wind elemental powers like Raimundo, even though he isn't a dragon? Why can't we ask him about his past? And is there any link between Ryan and the Thunder Child? Ugh! So many questions…"

Suddenly her train of thoughts was broken by sound of someone entering her room; she turned around and saw that it was Clay.

"Hey Kimiko?" said Clay "Have you seen Ryan?"

"No" said Kimiko as she went back to her web surfing "Why?"

"He's disappeared, can't find him anywhere" said Clay as he left her room, "Anyway, I'm off to bed"

"Ok then" said Kimiko,

"Hmm" though Kimiko as she checked her clock "5 minutes until bed time and Ryan's disappeared, I'd better go look for him…"

Kimiko stepped out into the cool evening air, in the distance, fireflies were dancing in the air, and crickets were chirping in the bushes.

"Ryan?" called Kimiko,

There was no reply from the darkness.

"Ryan!" called Kimiko again

Again, there was no reply.

"Where could he be?" she sighed as she looked up at the temple. Suddenly she saw something move on the roof tops. She jumped up onto the roof of the temple and saw that Ryan was lying down on the roof, staring up at the starry sky.

"Ryan?" said Kimiko

Ryan turned his head, "Hey Kimiko…I see you found me…"

Kimiko approached Ryan and sat down beside him, she noticed that there was a sort of gloomy feeling in his eyes.

"You okay?" said Kimiko

There was a brief pause before Ryan spoke again.

"I'm fine…" he said in a quiet voice.

Kimiko sighed as she sat down beside him, "There is something wrong, isn't there?"

"…No" said Ryan

There was a brief pause.

"So…" said Kimiko as she tried to think of a subject to talk about "Where are you from?"

Ryan didn't say anything; his face went from gloomy to worse. Kimiko gasped slightly when she realised what she just said.

"Oh no…His past…" thought Kimiko "Master Fung warned us!"

"It's nothing…" sighed Ryan as he sat up. Kimiko put a hand on his shoulders to try and comfort him.

"I'm sorry for bringing it up" said Kimiko,

"Don't worry about it…" said Ryan

Ryan turned his head and looked up at Kimiko; her blue eyes glistened in the pale moon light.

"I suffered from amnesia…" said Ryan "I can't remember anything from my past…"

Kimiko gasped as Ryan looked up to study the heavens,

"I know nothing about my family, my past, not even why I came to the temple…"

He sighed deeply as he looked down at his feet. Kimiko sighed as well as she tried to think of something to say that may comfort him.

"Don't worry" she said "Err…Someday you'll find your past…"

Ryan sighed as he looked at her, "Kimiko…Thank you…"

He gave her a small smile; she smiled back at him as she their eyes met. The air seemed to go quiet as they looked at each other, but the moment was disturbed by the beeping of Kimiko's watch, followed by Master Fung calling "Bed time monks!"

"I'm going to go to bed now…" said Kimiko as she got to her feet and moved towards the edge of the roof, she looked back at Ryan who had lied back down on the roof, "You coming?"

"Nah…" said Ryan "I'm going to stay put for a while…"

"Ok…" said Kimiko. She looked down and jumped to the ground.

Ryan watched her walk off to the dormitory, and then looked back up at the night sky,

"I will find who I am, Kimiko…" sighed Ryan to himself "Someday…"

Way hay! Chapter five is done! Next chapter, Ryan goes after his first Shen Gong Wu, the Wing's of Huricun! If you want to know what it is, you just have to wait until Chapter 6, which may come tomorrow! But what about Ryan and Kimiko? He He He... You just have to wait and see! Please R&R!
