33: Goodbye Ryan…Forever
Back at the Temple…
Omi groaned as he rubbed his head. He looked up and saw that he and the others were lying in the temple courtyard.
"Huh?" said Omi as he got up, "We're at the Temple?"
He saw that Clay, Raimundo and Dojo were lying on the ground nearby.
"Hey!" called Omi "Guys! Get up!"
He ran up to them, shaking them violently.
"What…" groaned Clay as he and Raimundo got to their feet "Where are we?"
"Chase seemed to teleported us back to the temple" said Raimundo.
"Young monks!" called a voice from the temple, Master Fung came running out of the temple, "Are you okay?"
"I was fine" said Raimundo as he rubbed his backside, "Until Chase teleported us here and I landed on my butt!"
"He hung me by the arms until the skin came off!" complained Dojo "My arms are in a worse condition than when the Crystal Glasses when active!"
Master Fung looked around the grounds.
"Hey! Where's Kimiko and Ryan?" said Master Fung. The others spun around; Kimiko was nowhere to be seen.
"Kimiko!" called Omi "Where is she? Didn't she go through the portal with us?"
They heard a noise from around the corner; they ran around to see what it was. Sitting against the wall with her chin on her knees, her arms around her legs was Kimiko.
"Kimiko?" said Raimundo "You okay?"
Kimiko said nothing, she just sat there staring.
"Kimiko?" said Dojo as he clicked his fingers in front of her face. She still didn't move.
"Shock…I think" said Clay "We should get her inside"
"Okay, Omi and I shall carry her to her room" said Raimundo as he put his arms under hers and lifted her up.
"What about Ryan?" said Master Fung. Raimundo, Clay and Omi looked at each other with uneasy faces.
"Err…You better let Clay explain…" sighed Raimundo as he and Omi carried Kimiko towards the Dormitory. They entered the Dormitory, Raimundo had Kimiko by the arms and Omi was holding her feet off the ground. They turned into her room, laid her in her bed and covered her with her blanket. Kimiko was still shaking slightly and her eyes still had a vacant stare to them.
"Poor girl…" sighed Raimundo "It's all Ryan's fault…"
"I know, my friend" said Omi as he and Raimundo left the room, "A great sadness has fallen over the temple"
Later…
Hours later, Kimiko began to regain conscience again. She closed her eyes and reached around, she felt the softness of the blanket that was wrapped around her. She reached further out; she felt her bedside stuff was there, her clock, her laptop and PDA.
"Hey!" thought Kimiko "This is my stuff…I'm back in my room!"
She smiled slightly as she rolled over and reached out the other way, her eyes still closed.
"Maybe it was all a dream…Maybe I didn't get kidnapped…Maybe Ryan didn't turn evil…And when I open my eyes, he will be sleeping right there beside me and we will live happily ever after together!"
She opened her eyes slowly and reached as far as she could; she felt no one and saw no one, she was all alone.
"Ryan?" said Kimiko looking around her room, no answer.
"Ryan!" called Kimiko, her pulse began to beat faster and she began to sweat.
"Ryan!" She called again as she ran out of her room. She ran out into the temple grounds, and looked franticly around.
"No…" panicked Kimiko "No! No! No!"
"Kimiko?" said Omi as he walked out of the temple "You have awakened!"
Kimiko looked at Omi, in a blink of an eye; she dashed over to him and grabbed him by the collar.
"Omi!" she cried "Where's Ryan?"
"K-Kimiko!" stuttered Omi "C-Calm down!"
"TELL ME!" cried Kimiko "WHERE IS HE!"
"What's with all the hollering?" said Clay as he; Raimundo and Master Fung came running out of the temple.
"RAI! CLAY! MASTER FUNG!" cried Kimiko as she ran towards them, "RYAN IS MISSING!"
"Kimiko!" said Raimundo as she grabbed her by the arms, "Snap out of it!"
Kimiko cried louder as she thrashed her body violently, "WHERE THE HELL IS HE?"
"Kimiko!" said Master Fung "He's gone!"
"NO!" she cried "HE ISN'T!"
"Kimiko!" said Master Fung, "He's gone, Kimiko! He's gone!"
"He's gone…"
"He's gone…"
"He's gone…"
Those words echoed in her head, over and over again.
"No…" she gasped as she stumbled back, "No…"
"Kimiko" said Master Fung, resting his hand on her shoulder, "I'm sorry, but you must let him go…"
"Let…" said Kimiko "Him…Go…"
The air around them went still; she could hear her heartbeat, it was beating louder that the other monks breathing.
"Kimiko…" sighed Omi "We are most sorry that we lost Ryan, but you must dwell in the house of the past or you'll…"
"FUCK THE HOUSE OF THE PAST!" screamed Kimiko, making everyone jump. She sprinted towards the front gate, fire pouring from her fists, "RYAN! I'M COMING!"
"Kimiko!" shouted Clay "Where are you going?"
"I'M GOING TO CRUSH CHASE AND HIS LAIR TO A PILE OF RUBBLE!" screamed Kimiko.
"Kimiko! Stop!" called Raimundo as he ran after her.
"I've got her!" said Omi as he pulled out a small brown comb, "Tangle Web Comb!"
The wiry tendrils shot out of the comb and wrapped around Kimiko's legs.
"NO! RYAN!" screamed Kimiko as she fell down and began clawing at the floor, trying to pull her towards the gate.
"Kimiko!" called Master Fung as he ran beside her, "There isn't anything you can do…"
"NO!" cried Kimiko as her head fell to the floor, tears flowing like a river all over the paving stones. The others crowded around her as she lay sobbing.
"I loved him…" sobbed Kimiko "He loved me…"
To avoid making her angry again, they said nothing. Kimiko began to feel weak, all this crying, struggling and lust for revenge had tired her out.
"Take me to my room…" sobbed Kimiko weakly, "I want to be alone…"
Raimundo lifted her up and carried her to her room; she climbed down from his arms and fell onto her bed. Her eyes became heavy as Raimundo left the room; she rolled over, wrapping her blanket around her.
"No…" sobbed Kimiko "I…don't want…sleep…nightmares…"
Her body was getting weaker by the second.
"No nightmares…" yawned Kimiko, tears still stinging her eyes, "Ryan not here…to…protect…me…zzzzz…"
On a cliff top over looking the temple…
"He he he…" laughed a dark hooded figure as he watched the Temple from the cliff top with the Eagle Scope, "Look at her; she can't even stand on her own without me…"
"Like I said before, Ryan" said another figure behind him, "Human emotions are the true weakness of the human race…"
Ryan grinned as his brown eyes glowed with evil.
"As always you are right, father"
"Kiss ass…" muttered a third figure behind them.
"What's wrong, Wuya?" said Ryan as he put the Eagle Scope down, "Jealous that you are no longer Chase's favourite?"
Wuya glared at him as he grinned back.
"Let us not waste any more time…" said Chase as he opened a portal back to his lair, "Stop you childish bickering and let's go"
Chase walked through the portal, followed by a grumpy Wuya, leaving Ryan alone on the cliff top. He looked at his watch, 11:59, and sighed as he looked down at the temple.
"Stay safe Kimiko…" said Ryan "It isn't too late yet… "
He turned and walked through the portal, which disappeared into thin air.
Now that this is done, I'm going to go watch TV...R&R please!
