Greetings from the United Kingdom! I have more or less worked out the time differences between the UK and the USA, I'm about 4 to 6 hours ahead of you, so when your have lunch, I'm having dinner! Anyway, enough chatchitting (As Omi would say...) you can probably guess what will happen in this chapter from the title (Except Hanbags, who should already know...) and for all you people who loved "Deer Walking Backwards", it will appear again later on in the story! Along with more...Please feel free to use my Ku-Fu moves yourself, as long as you mention in your FanFics who you got them from! Me! ULTIMATE XIAOLIN DRAGON!

Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown

Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child

11: First Kiss

Far away, deep under a mountain range…

"I don't get it…" said Wuya "Why is it important that the Xiaolin Dragons didn't get the Rainbow Crown?"

Chase was getting tired of Wuya's continuous question asking. He got up and examined the Rainbow Crown.

"If they did, Ryan would have discovered his past…" said Chase

Wuya gave Chase a grumpy look,

"What is so special about him?" said Wuya

"For my plan to work, he mustn't discover his past…yet"

Wuya started to get angry, "But why?"

"That is information I can't tell you!" shouted Chase "I grow tired of your presence, leave at once!"

Wuya stormed out of the room; she was in such a huff, that she almost walked straight into another woman who was entering the room.

"You called, Master!" said the woman, as she approached Chase. He looked up at her,

"I want you to go to the temple tonight…" said Chase "And steal a Shen gong wu"

He took out a piece of paper, and put it on the table, near the Rainbow Crown.

"You may steal anything you like" said Chase as the girl picked up the paper, "As long as you get the Wu that is on the list"

The girl looked at the list, and then looked up at Chase.

"Can you do it?" said Chase,

The girl smiled as she put the list in her pocket,

"Purrrr-fect!"

Back at the Temple…

It was nightfall when the Monks arrived back at the temple, and dinner wasn't as lively as it was normally were. Everyone was quite, apart from the odd eating noise. As soon as they had finished, Ryan got up and left the table without saying a word,

"He's sadder than a cowboy who had lost his hat…" sighed Clay

"I don't really see what's wrong" said Raimundo "We lose Shen gong wu as well…"

Omi got down from the table and walked around towards Clay and Raimundo.

"Do not worry my dear friends!" said Omi in his I-am-so-great-I-can-make-the-whole-world-happy mood "I will attempted to cheer him up with my cheerful and upbeat personality!"

"Err, Omi?" said Kimiko "I wouldn't do that if I were you…"

"Don't worry!" said Omi as he ran out of the room "I know what I'm doing!"

Kimiko groaned as she banged her forehead on the table.

"I better go and stop him before Ryan beats the living day lights out of him…" groaned Kimiko as she went after him.

There was a sudden banging noise followed by the sound of Omi groaning coming from the Great Hall.

"Omi?" said Kimiko as she peered around the corner,

"Kimiko!" cried Omi's voice from a flower pot, "Can you help me?"

Kimiko walked over to the flower pot that had Omi's feet sticking out, she tugged on them until Omi popped out.

"It seemed that my cheerful and upbeat personality didn't seem to help him" said Omi as he spat out dirt.

"Maybe I should go talked to him" said Kimiko as she walked off, leaving Omi to continue spitting out dirt.

There were grunting noises coming from the training area, she looked in and saw that Ryan was taking his frustration out on a training dummy. Kimiko moved closer towards him, staying out of Ryan's line of sight. She noticed that he had his shirt off as he mashed the dummy with his fists. His chest was pulsating with heat and his face full of frustration. Her pulse began to accelerate faster than Ryan's fists. As she gazed up and down his chest, see felt her body temperature rise. Suddenly, her mind went berserk, she tried to stop herself from doing anything stupid, but her desire for Ryan took over her.

"He is…so…sexy…I need him!" said a voice in her head as Kimiko drooled over Ryan's body.

"No…No…Calm down girl…" said Kimiko to herself, trying to control herself.

"Look at his Abs!" said the voice again

"Calm down!" said Kimiko again, "I can't go now…He's frustrated…"

"Get him!" said the voice "Grab him and don't let go!"

"No!" said Kimiko "I mustn't freak him out!"

There was a sudden roar as Ryan performed a spinning kick that went straight through the dummy. He walked over, and looked over the split remains of the dummy. He then walked over to a bench at the edge of the grounds and sat down. After a while, he looked up and said,

"You can come out now, Kimiko…I've calmed down…"

Kimiko got up and slowly approached him. As she got closer, she could see the faint moonlight shinning off the beads of sweat on his skin.

"You okay?" said Kimiko. Ryan sighed deeply as he turned and looked up at Kimiko,

"I'm fine…"

There was a brief pause as Ryan looked back up at the sky,

"I know you lost a Shen Gong Wu…" said Kimiko as she sat down next to Ryan, trying to comfort him, "But it doesn't matter, there is plenty of other Shen Gong Wu to find…"

Ryan got up and walked forward towards the temple wall; he looked down at his hands and clenched them with frustration.

"It's not the Wu…" said Ryan quietly "It's because I lost the chance to find my past…"

Ryan swung his fist at another dummy standing near him, sending it flying across the grounds,

"That crown could have revealed to me who I really am…and I failed…"

Kimiko got up and walked to him,

"It's okay…" said Kimko as she placed her hands on his shoulder, "I know how much the crown meant to you"

Ryan looked at Kimiko; her blue eyes were shinning like the stars above them,

"He's looking at me…"thought Kimiko as her pulse rate went through the roof,"Is he feeling what I'm feeling?"

"Kimiko…" said Ryan as he looked into her eyes, "I haven't known you for long, but you have always been there for me…"

He held her hand in his and smiled at her.

He hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Thank you…"

Kimiko sighed as she felt his arms move around her back, pulling her closer.

"You're welcome…" said Kimiko as she moved her body so it was up against his. She ran one hand over his chest and felt his body heat radiate from it. She looked up at Ryan, who smiled back, and slowly, their heads began to move together.

"Kimiko…" said Ryan.

"Don't ruin it…please…" whispered Kimiko as she felt Ryan's breathe on her lips.

"You sure?" whispered Ryan.

"Ryan…" whispered Kimiko "I want you…"

Their lips touched, for that brief moment in time, Kimiko felt as the world itself had stopped. She felt his arms around her tighten, one of his hands move up from her back and through her hair. They broke away, still holding each other, and looked in each others eyes, her blue eyes glistened in the moon light as she gazed deep into his.

"Ryan…I…"

"Shh…" whispered Ryan as he put a finger on her lips. She felt a tingling sensation move down her spine as Ryan's hand began to gently move across her hips. She raised her hand and brushed it through his hair and ran her other hand down his chest ever so slightly. She then raised both hands, so her arms were resting on his shoulders and around the back of his head, and slowly, she pulled his head down towards her lips again. As their lips made contact again, she wished that this moment would never end. But unfortunately, it did…

There was a sudden explosion that shook the temple,

"What the!" cried Kimiko, as she and Ryan looked over across the temple. There was smoke rising from where the explosion came from, and fire and rubble were falling from the sky.

"Kimiko! Look out!" cried Ryan as he dived at Kimiko, knocking her out the way from being hit by splintered wood and smouldering rubble as it fell from the sky. Ryan yelled as a chunk of wood hit his left arm.

"Ryan!" gasped Kimiko,

"I'm fine" said Ryan as he rubbed his arm and looked up towards the temple. Fire began to rage as smoke filled the sky.

"What the hell is going on?" said Kimiko, as she looked up at the temple. There was a distant girl scream coming from the Wu vault.

"Dojo!" cried the both of them as they sprinted off to the vault.

Good huh? Take a wild guess who tried to blow up the temple! R&R please! Now then about the rest of the story...It started off in an okay sort of mood. But later on, the story will take a darker turn...And I don't mean dark, I mean...DARK! (EVIL! DEATH! PAIN! MISERY! ETC!) So before I continue with the story, I have two things to tell you...

1: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

2: Enjoy!

See you next Chapter!
