Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to my 50th Chapter! Unlike the other chapter milestones, the fiftieth chapter is a big achievement especially that this is my first story. But I couldn't have done this without the encouragement from all my readers and reviewers, so thank you all!

(Loud round of applause from the audience)

I'd also like to thank my top 6 reviewers: DeafLizgon, miniku, animeang317, vietnamese-glamor-girl, but a special round of applause for Hanbags!

(Spot light moves onto Hanbags, another round of applause from the audience)

Hanbags: (Goes red) Stop it UXD, You're embarrassing me!

(Ryan and Jiggy grin at each other)

Hanbags: Don't even think about it!

(Ryan and Jiggy run off, closely followed by UXD and Hanbags)

Yamato: See? There even chasing them together, I think there is some truth to what Ryan and Jiggy are saying about them

Khu: Oh please, they're just rumours

DeafLizgon: Can we just get on with the story?

50: Conflict of Two Hearts

Katnappè laughed as she watched Kimiko's face glow red with fury and anger.

"You…You bitch!" roared Kimiko "You've taken Ryan!"

Katnappè sighed when she heard Kimiko say Ryan.

"Yeah…Isn't he dreamy…" sighed Katnappè "Don't me and him make a purr-fect couple…"

"He was mine!" roared Kimiko as she slammed her fists on the bars of her cell, "I saw him first!"

Katnappè laughed again, making Kimiko hit the cell bars again.

"You?" laughed Katnappè "What would the son of Chase Young, the world greatest warrior, see in a spoilt brat like you?"

Kimiko roared again as she pummelled the walls of the cage, shouting random insults at her.

"Ha! Just as I thought…" said Katnappè "Face facts, He is all mine now"

"Over my dead body!" roared Kimiko.

"That can be arranged…" said Katnappè as she waved her razor sharp claws at her, "Once you and your friends will be dead" said Katnappè, "And Chase has conquered the world; I was thinking that me and him could get a place together, somewhere in Hawaii maybe…"

"Shut the hell up!" growled Kimiko "Or I'll…"

"You'll what?" laughed Katnappè "If you haven't noticed, you are in the cage and I'm out of the cage"

"Keep laughing…" whispered Kimiko as she reached into her shoe, "I still have an ace up my sleeve…"

Katnappè stopped laughing when she noticed a glint of gold appear from Kimiko's shoe, but before she was able to react, Kimiko yelled "Star Hanabi!"

The star shot out from the cage and headed at light speed towards Katnappè, but her cat instincts were way ahead of her. Just as the star was about to hit her, she leapt out the way.

"Ha! You missed!" taunted Katnappè. There was a pinging noise as the star ricocheted off the wall behind them and shot at Katnappè, hitting her in the back of the head. Katnappè fell forward, hitting the floor with a thud. She landed within reaching distance of Kimiko, who reached to her belt and removed the cell key.

"And what have we learnt today?" said Kimiko as she opened the cell and looked at the knocked out Katnappè, "Don't mess with Kimiko and don't put a cat in charge"

She looked over to a nearby table and saw that all her Shen Gong Wu were all there.

"Hmm, that was easy…" sighed Kimiko as she picked up the Wu and turned towards the door, "Now, time to get Ryan!"

Just outside Chase's Lair…

The Shen-Ga-Roo skidded to a halt outside Chase's lair, and Clay, Omi and Raimundo jumped out of the cockpit and ran into the lair.

"Come on guys!" called Raimundo "We need to find her before Ryan does!"

"We're running as fast as we can!" gasped Clay as he and Omi lagged behind Raimundo.

"Clay?" said Omi "Why is Kimiko like this? Why does she still like Ryan, even though he is evil?"

"She loves him, partner" said Clay.

"Can love cross the boundaries of good and evil?" said Omi.

"Love can cross all boundaries, both mental and physical, But it just though happens that the love between Kimiko and Ryan could get us all killed"

"Quit yapping and let's get going!" called Raimundo from ahead. Clay looked at him.

"You seem worried about Ryan and Kimiko?" said Clay. Raimundo looked back at him, giving him an angry look.

"I couldn't give a damn about Ryan!" said Raimundo "It's Kimiko I'm worried about…"

Kimiko walked cautiously down the dark corridor, using the Star Hanabi to light up the passageway, making sure that no one was hiding in the shadow. She eventually came to a place where the path split into three other pathways.

"Would it kill them to have a map of the place?" groaned Kimiko as she looked down each passageway; each one had darkness that went off into the distance, "Okay then…Eney Meney Miney Mo…"

She suddenly heard voice coming from the corridor behind her, making her panic. She quickly dashed into left passage and into the shadows, not knowing who was following her or hearing one of them say "Okay Mr I-the-greatest-Xiaolin-Dragon? Which way do we go now?"

She slowed down after awhile to catch her breath, she looked back into the darkness from where she just came from. She gave a sigh of relief as she saw that she had lost the people who were following her. She was about to continue with her search for Ryan when she heard another sound coming from a nearby door. She crept up to the door, slowly opened it and looked in. It was the large circular room where Ryan sacrificed his loyalty back to Chase so she and the others could leave alive. She carefully walked in; the room still had that eerie feeling in the air from when Ryan became evil.

"I hope this is the last time I ever come here…" said Kimiko as she approached the centre of the room, "This place gives me the creeps…"

"Heh Heh Heh…" chuckled a voice from the darkness, Kimiko spun around, she knew who it was.

"Ryan!" called Kimiko "I know your there! Show yourself!"

"Heh Heh Heh…" laughed Ryan again from the darkness "Very well then"

Ryan walked out from the darkness towards her.

"So then Kimiko" said Ryan "Why have you come here?"

"I've come here for you, Ryan" said Kimiko, "You're coming back with me"

Ryan burst into hysterical laughter.

"Ha Ha Ha! Do you still believe what my good side told you? How pathetic…"

"Believe it or not" said Kimiko "But there is still good in you…I can feel it…"

"Don't go giving me that love crap…" groaned Ryan "I get enough of that rubbish from Katnappè"

"Katnappè…" growled Kimiko "She first she steals my boyfriend, and then…Hang on! You find her annoying?"

"That woman gets right on my nerves!" sneered Ryan.

"So…You don't love her then?" said Kimiko.

"Love?" sneered Ryan "Human emotions are the true weakness of humans"

He looked at Kimiko, who sighed to herself with a relieved expression on her face.

"Anyway, enough chitchat" said Ryan in a cold, dark voice, "I've got a Dragon of Fire to kill…"

He walked towards Kimiko with an evil grin on his face. Kimiko moved backwards, reaching into her pockets. She pulled out the Ying Yo-Yo and the Yang Yo-Yo and began twirling them around like lassos.

"Ying Yang Yo-Yo!" shouted Kimiko as she swung the Yo-Yos at Ryan, they were about to hit him and coil around his body, when he grabbed them and pulled the string from her hands. The Ying Yo-Yo came off her hand and Ryan threw it across the room, but the string of the Yang Yo-Yo got stuck on the Ring of the Nine Dragons that was on her finger so that got pulled off with the Yo-Yo. She retaliated by pulling out the Star Hanabi, but Ryan was one step ahead of her.

"Wind!" shouted Ryan as he thrust his hands forward, sending a blast of wind at Kimiko, knocking her to the floor.

"I would have thought you would have improved" sighed Ryan as he stood over Kimiko, "Oh well…"

He drew out the Sword of the Tempest and swung it above her head.

"I've practiced the moment when I kill you" said Ryan "Now I will do it for real!"

"Orb of Tornami! Ice!" shouted a voice from behind Ryan and a ball of ice hit Ryan hard from behind, knocking him away from Kimiko.

"Damn it!" yelled Ryan "Why can't I ever get a chance to kill someone!"

He looked where the ice came from; Omi was standing in the doorway, aiming the Orb of Tornami at him. Raimundo had the Yang Yo-Yo in his hands and Clay had the Ying Yo-Yo and the Ring of the Nine Dragons.

"Ah, the rest of the crew is here" said Ryan "This time, death is inevitable, there will be no escape!"

That's the end of my special 50th chapter; will the Xiaolin Monks be able to win Ryan back? Or will Ryan turn them all into mince meat? (I went over the top again…) R&R everyone! See you again whenever!
