Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child

08: Feelings from the Heart

After they have finished their chores and having dinner, the 5 monks walked it to the Dormitory,

"Oww…" groaned Raimundo as he walked into his room and fell on to his bed, "My three arms are killing me…"

"Acho!" sneezed Clay as he went into his room, "I've got more dust up my nose than a bull in a dust storm…"

"I feel most walked up…" groaned Omi as he went into his room.

"It's run down, little buddy" sighed Clay

"That makes no sense what so ever…" said Omi as he flopped down onto his bed. Kimiko came into the Dormitory next, dragging her arms behind her,

"I think my arms have been stretched to new lengths with the Lotus Twister…" groaned Kimiko as she sat at her desk and switched on her laptop.

"Didn't know that swinging a staff could be so exhausting…" yawned Ryan as he went into his room, "I think I'll take…a small…zzzzz…"

Kimiko sighed as she heard Ryan fall onto his bed.

"I've never known anyone so lazy…" said Kimiko to herself. She checked her emails, just the usual from Kelko, nothing new or interesting. Kimiko was about to go onto the web, when she heard whispering noises, followed by the sound of people moving into Raimundo's room. Kimiko got up from her seat and moved over to Raimundo's room, his curtain was closed, so she peeked through the gap between the wall and the curtain. She could just see the silhouettes of Raimundo and two other people; Kimiko's guess was that they were Clay and Omi.

"So, what do you think happened in Ryan's past?" said Raimundo

"I don't know" said Clay "Why do you think we can't talk about it?"

"He must have done something very bad" said Omi "He must have come to the temple to seek help"

"What are you guys doing?" said Kimiko as she opened the curtain and walked into the room, making Clay, Raimundo and Omi jump.

"Oh! Hello Kimiko" said Omi "We talking about Ryan's dark past"

"I don't believe you guys!" complained Kimiko as she frowned at them, "Are you saying that Ryan is a bad person?"

"Err…No…" said Raimundo. Kimiko glared at them as they tried to avoid eye contact with her.

"Sorry Kimiko" sighed Clay "Were just so darn curious about why we can't talk about his past…"

Kimiko sighed as she looked down at the floor.

"Hmm…Master Fung will kill me if he finds out about this…" thought Kimiko.

"Okay…" said Kimiko "I was talking to him last night…"

Raimundo and Clay looked up at Kimiko,

"Last night, huh?" said Raimundo with a smirk on his face. Kimiko's temperature suddenly rose; she turned towards him giving him a dark stare.

"What do you mean!" growled Kimiko

"N…Nothing…" stuttered Raimundo as he back away.

"Err…Kimiko" said Clay cautiously, trying not to make her angrier, "You were saying about Ryan…"

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted…" said Kimiko "I accidentally brought up his past and…"

She suddenly remembered about last night, when Ryan and she were sitting on the roof and when he told her about his amnesia. She sighed as she remembered how sad his face looked as she told her.

"Kimiko?" said Omi "Hello?"

"Huh? What?" said Kimiko as she realised what she was doing.

"You sort of conked out when you were about to tell use about Ryan" said Raimundo

"Oh!" said Kimiko "Did I?"

"Well?" said Omi "What did he say?"

Kimiko walked past them and looked out of Raimundo's window, the sun was setting and one by one the stars were coming out. Kimiko began to tell them about him, about his amnesia and how he knows nothing of his past. Each word seemed to make Kimiko more and more depressed.

"Oh…" said Omi after Kimiko has finished, "So that's why…"

"Is that it?" said Raimundo "I thought it was something worse…"

"Worse!" gasped Kimiko as she turned to Raimundo, "He knows nothing about his family and friends, where he came from and what he had done! And you say it that isn't bad!"

"Whoa! Chill out girl!" said Raimundo as he backed away again.

"Ugh! I've had enough of this!" grumbled Kimiko as she stormed out of the room, leaving Omi, Raimundo and Clay speechless.

"Idiots…" muttered Kimiko "Talking about Ryan like that…"

She was about to enter her room when she looked over at Ryan's room and saw that his curtain was open. Kimiko peeked into his room and notice that Ryan wasn't there. She walked in; his room was tidier than yesterday, probably because it was Kimiko's job to tidy up the rooms. She noticed there was a note on his desk. She picked it up and read it,

"If anyone needs me, I'm where I was last night"

Kimiko stepped out into the night air, the stars were all out now, and the sun had fully set. She climbed up on to the roof where Ryan was last night, just as the note said, Ryan was lying down staring at the sky again, with a calm expression on his face.

"Hmm…" thought Kimiko "He looks like he would like to be alone…"

Kimiko was about to jump down, when Ryan called out to her,

"Don't go Kimiko…"

She looked over at Ryan, who was still looking up at the sky,

"I thought you want to be alone…" she said.

"Nah" said Ryan "Just you being here makes me feel better…"

Kimiko sat down next to Ryan and looked up at the stars.

"You told them didn't you?" said Ryan as he turned towards her.

"Yes…" sighed Kimiko lowering her head in shame, "I'm sorry…"

Ryan gave her a small smile as he sat up and brushed her hair from in front of her face.

"Don't worry about it" said Ryan, "They were going to find out sooner or later"

Kimiko looked up at Ryan with a small smile on her face,

"Thank you…"

She lied down next to him and continued to look up at the starry sky. The air was peaceful, and the silence of the night was only broken by the odd noise of the nocturnal wildlife around the temple.

"I've always liked stargazing" sighed Ryan "I usually forget my troubles doing this…"

It must be awful…" said Kimiko "You know…Not being able to remember your past…"

"Yeah…" said Ryan, his smile on his face disappeared. Kimiko looked at Ryan he sighed deeply.

A sudden gust of wind brought a cold chill over the temple. Ryan looked towards Kimiko who was shivering slightly. As his element was wind, he could withstand low temperatures, but Kimiko on the other hand preferred higher temperatures. Ryan put his arm around Kimiko and pulled her close to him.

"Is that warmer?" said Ryan as he felt Kimiko's body against his,

"Thank you Ryan…" whispered Kimiko resting her head on his shoulder.

"No worries…" said Ryan "I owe you anyway; you care for me more than the others"

Kimiko smiled as she put an arm around his chest.

"You're not like the others" said Kimiko looking up at him "You're more…friendly than the others"

They eyes met again, Kimiko sighed as she gazed deep into his.

"Look at him…" thought Kimiko "Now I know why I called him cute…Oh my god! Is this…love at first sight?"

"Kimiko?" said Ryan

"Yes…Ryan?" said Kimiko

"Can I…ask you something?"

"Yes?" said Kimiko as she mover her head closer,

"Can I…"

"Yes?" whispered Kimiko as she closed her eyes, her lips were a few millimetres away from his.

"Can I borrow Goo Zombies 4 tomorrow?"

Kimiko stopped; she opened her eyes and looked at Ryan, who was smiling back at her. She didn't reply, she began to chuckle instead, which made Ryan laugh as well.

"Oh, Ryan…" sighed Kimiko as she managed to control her chuckling. She rested her head on his shoulder again and hugged him.

"Funny…Very funny…" she sighed under her breath. In the distance, they heard Master Fung call "Lights out monks!"

Kimiko checked her watch, 10:00. She had been so distracted by Ryan; she didn't know that they have been together for almost an hour.

"You going to bed?" said Ryan

"Nah…" said Kimiko "I want to stargaze a little while longer…"

Kimiko smiled to herself because she didn't care about the stars, she just wanted to say in Ryan's arms.

"Hey! Look!" said Kimiko pointing in the sky "A shooting star!"

Ryan looked up into the sky,

"Hey, you right!" said Ryan "You saw it first, you make a wish"

Kimiko thought for awhile, and then smiled at Ryan.

"I think I'll go to bed now" said Kimiko, she planted a kiss on his cheek and jumped down from the roof.

"Night Kimiko" said Ryan as he watched her walked off towards the dormitory.

Thank you everyone for R&R! KEEP R&R! EACH ONE MAKES ME HAPPY!Anyway,I need help from you! I'm currently writing The Legend of the Thunder Child II: TheBlood of the Dragon and I want to mentionthree video games that Ryan and Raimundo are arguing over, PLEASE can you vote on which games I should use? Here are the lines:

"Whatever…" sighed Raimundo as he picked up the control pad "The point is that both of you suck at (Video game 1)"
"Oh really?" said Ryan"Who couldn't complete the last boss on (Video game 2)?"
"Whoa there, partners!" said Clay "Let's not start another fight here"
"Good idea, Clay!" said Ryan "Raimundo! Me verses you on (Video game 3)!"

Obviously Video Game 3 must be a multiplayer, but the other two can be anything (As long as it is a good game!) The winner will get the rest of the cookies that Hanbags gave me and that I didn't eat! See you on Chapter 9!
