Xiaolin Showdown: The Legend of the Thunder Child

13: Passion and Devotion

Far away, deep under a mountain range…

"Excellent work, Katnappè" said Chase as Katnappè emptied the bag on the table, "Did you get it?"

"Here it is…" said Katnappè as she slid the Shadow of Fear across the table.

"Excellent!" grinned Chase as he picked it up, "You will find your…Err..."Cat-alac"…in the main hall, you may go…"

She bowed her head as she left the room. Chase grinned as he looked at the Shadow of Fear.

"Soon, the evil that dwells within Ryan will be unleashed…and my plan for revenge on the Xiaolin Monks will begin…"

Back at the temple…

The sun shone through the window into the Medical Room, Ryan was still out cold because of blood loss, and Kimiko had fell asleep in the seat next to him. She had been up all night, watching him, hoping that he would wake up.

"…Ugh" groaned Ryan as he slowly sat up in bed, "What the hell happened last night? Argh! My arm!"

He groaned as he lied back down, his arm was bandaged up and still hurting. He thought back to last night, when the vault exploded, Ryan dived into Kimiko to save her from the falling rubble. Kimiko managed to get out the way in time, but that splintered piece of wood that hit him cut open his arm. There was so much commotion, that he didn't realise that he was cut until he passed out. He looked around the room, to his right was a table, it had bandages and his blood stained t-shirt on it. To his left, he saw that Kimiko had her head resting on his bed.

"No…Don't die…Ryan…zzzzz…" mumbled Kimiko in her sleep, "Ryan…stay with me…zzzzz…"

"Kimiko?" said Ryan softly, trying to wake her up,

"…Ryan…zzzzz…Don't leave me…zzzzz…please…"

"Kimiko? Wake up!" said Ryan, he placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her. Kimiko slowly lifted her head and looked up at Ryan; her eyes were red and puffy.

"Ryan?" said Kimiko, her face lit up when she saw his face smiling at her, "Ryan! You're alright!"

She shot her arm's around him and hugged him, tears streaming down her eyes,

"I…I thought I lost you…" cried Kimiko as Ryan held out his hand and wiped Kimiko's tears away.

"It'll take more that splintered wood to stop me…" whispered Ryan as he kissed her on the cheek.

Later that day…

"Ow…Ow…Ow…Ow!" groaned Ryan with each step he took as he walked out of the Medical room.

"Are you sure you are okay?" said Master Fung, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm fine, Master Fung" said Ryan.

"I must say for a boy of your age, you recovered from blood loss faster than anyone I've seen" said Master Fung as they both left the room.

"Yeah" said Ryan "It seems that I am able to recover quickly"

They began to walk down a corridor towards the training grounds where the others were training.

"Ryan!" said Omi as he ran up to Ryan, jumping up and down.

"You okay, partner?" said Clay as he and Raimundo walked up behind Omi, who was still jumping up and down.

"I'm fine guys" said Ryan "Err…Do you know where Kimiko is?"

"Oh! Oh! I know!" said Omi, who was still jumping up and down. "She was very happy to hear you were better!"

"Omi!" said Ryan "Where is she?"

"She's helping me look for the Shadow of Fear scroll!" said Dojo as he walked past them, with a donut in his hands.

"Don't you mean she is looking for the Shadow of Fear scroll while you goof off and eat donuts" said Ryan. Ryan, Clay and Omi chuckled to themselves.

"Hey!" said Dojo with a mouthful of donut, "That isn't funny…"

Ryan and Dojo made their way to the scroll room, where Kimiko was searching through the scrolls.

"Ancient art of cake mixing…No…Shen Gong Wu cleaning tips…No" sighed Kimiko. She heard someone come into the room behind her.

"Still no luck Dojo…" said Kimiko, thinking it was Dojo.

She suddenly felt someone's arm move round her waist and hug her tightly.

"Guess who?" said Ryan as Kimiko turned around and looked at him.

"Ryan…You're alright…" said Kimiko as she smiled at him.

"Yep"

"Your arm?"

"It's fine"

Kimiko sighed as she rested her head against his chest, "I'm just glad you're okay…"

"Ahem!" coughed Dojo from behind them, Ryan and Kimiko turned around and saw that he was looking at them, "Aww…You two look so cute together…"

"Err…" said Ryan as he and Kimiko separated, both of them blushing, "Aren't we supposed to be looking for the scroll…"

"Yes, we are" said Dojo "So if you two can keep your hands off each other long enough, we may have a chance of finding it"

"Okay…" sighed Kimiko as she turned towards a pile of scrolls, "Let's get to work Ryan"

Ryan said nothing as he turned towards his own pile of scrolls and began to look through them.

Ryan, Kimiko and Dojo spent the rest of the day rummaging through the scrolls, and after a few hours they still couldn't find it.

"Well…" yawned Dojo as he flopped down on his pile of scrolls, "That's all I can do for one night…"

Kimiko looked at her watch, 10:55.

"Come on, Ryan" yawned Kimiko as she lent against Ryan, "We should be going to bed, I didn't sleep last night, and you need to rest your arm"

"Okay then" said Ryan as they left the Scroll room, "Night Dojo"

They entered the Dormitory and Ryan sat down on his bed, sighing deeply. Kimiko came in after him and sat next to him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I thought you were going to bed?" said Ryan as he looked at her.

"Nah…" sighed Kimiko as she put her hand around his chest and hugged him, avoiding his bandaged arm, "I'm not that tired…"

Ryan turned towards Kimiko and smiled down at her, his brown eyes looking deep into hers. Kimiko felt her pulse rise as she felt his arms move up her body, until they were resting on her shoulders, and slowly, he began to pull her head towards his.

"Ryan…" whispered Kimiko, as she felt Ryan's soft breath move across his cheek like a feather, "I don't know what it is about you that makes me feel this way…I love you Ryan…"

"I Love you too…Kimiko…"

Their lips touched, she felt a rush of electricity flow through her when their lips made contact. Kimiko moved one of her hands so it went around his neck, she could feel Ryan's pulse was beating faster in the back of his neck.

They both fell backwards onto the bed, Ryan's hands were no longer on near her head, one gently slid down her back and onto her hips, the other had moved round to the her back and began to massage it softly.

They broke out of the kiss. Ryan moved down Kimiko, his head moved towards her neck; Kimiko could feel his breath stroke her neck as he moved closer. She moaned slightly as she felt the soft touch of Ryan's lips on her neck.

"Ahh…Right there…" thought Kimiko, she shuddered as she felt Ryan stroke her thighs, "Yes…Don't stop…"

Ryan felt her hands move down his chest and under his monk robes,

"Ah ha…" thought Ryan as Kimiko hands moved up his shirt and skimmed his chest "This is how she likes it, huh? Two can play that game…"

He moved his hands so they slid under her monk robes. Kimiko moaned again as she felt his hands stroked up and down her sides.

"Yes Ryan…" thought Kimiko "That feels good…"

Ryan's hands gripped her body tightly, she sighed as she snuggled into the warmth of Ryan's chest as he pulled her close.

After half an hour of pure bliss, Kimiko's eyes began to grow heavy.

"No…" thought Kimiko as her body was drained of its energy, "Not now…I don't want…this to end…"

Ryan felt Kmiko's grip on him had weakened.

"Kimiko?" whispered Ryan as he looked down, Kimiko's eyes were shut, and she was breathing softly. Ryan smiled as he kissed her on the forehead,

"Good night, Kimiko…" whispered Ryan as he wrapped his blanket around her before drifting off to sleep himself.

Aww...(R&R!)
