Raimundo sat opposite Tammy and she looked up and smiled at him.

"Why are you staring at me?" She asked.

"Because you're so beautiful." He said.

"You've hardly eaten anything," said Tammy, glancing at his almost full plate.

"I'm not exactly hungry," Said Raimundo, "A lot's happened."

"Doesn't it always?" Sighed Tammy, "But is there anything else bothering you?"

"No," Said Raimundo, "I'm just happy to be back here … with you."

Tammy smiled. She leaned across the table.

"Rai …" She whispered.

Raimundo suddenly flashed back. It wasn't Tammy he was looking at; it was Kimiko. Fourteen-year-old Kimiko, the last time they were together, sat on Dojo's back as he tried to make a speedy get away.

"Tammy …" He said, sitting back, "I …"

"It's fine," Said Tammy.

"No … it's not." Said Raimundo, "God is this what it's like to be in love with someone?"

Tammy blinked and then smiled gently and kindly.

"You really love her don't you?" She said.

"I think I do … but it's over. She doesn't want to be with me …" He slammed a fist on the table, "god, what's happening to me?"

"I wish I could say, but maybe I should go," began Tammy, standing up.

As she walked fast, Raimundo reached out and pulled her back. She looked down at him through her red hair.

"Don't go …" He said, "Just … no, you can go if you want."

Tammy sat back down and smiled at him again.

"Raimundo," She said, "Can I tell you something?"

"Of course," Said Raimundo.

He looked closely, taking in her features. Today she was wearing a silver nose ring with a small emerald set in it, the same colour as her eyes. Her eyes were outlined, as always, in black eyeliner and she had dark purple lipstick on. She was wearing a dark purple dress as well, tight fitting and short. Around her neck was a black choker with an emerald in the shape of a heart hanging down. She was beautiful, just as she always was.

"What do you want to tell me?" He asked.

"I haven't been entirely honest with you," She said, "I think I've been giving you a hard time with you loving Kimiko … the truth is, up until I met you, I was totally head over heals for Yuuji."

"Could've guessed," Said Raimundo.

Tammy looked up at him sharply.

"That's it?" She said.

"Well, he's a good looking guy," Said Raimundo, "And you get on well with him. So, do you love him?"

"No, I think it was more of a strong crush," She looked down into her drink, "But I think that when I saw you, I changed my mind."

Raimundo smiled and leaned a little closer.

"So what did you think when you first saw me?" He asked.

"I thought 'Oh my god, hotness coming through'," She said.

"Liar," Laughed Raimundo.

"No, seriously, all I was thinking about how hot you looked." She smiled, "Plus, you standing with Yuuji, well that's just a dream."

"That's a little scary." Said Raimundo.

"If I had to stop crushing on Yuuji for someone else," Said Tammy, "I'm glad it was you."

She laughed and looked up.

"So, what did you think when you first saw me?" She asked, "100 honest!"

"Um … I don't think …" Began Raimundo.

"Come on Rai! Tell me!" She said, "I don't care if you just asked me out to make Nihon jealous or whatever, just tell me what you thought!"

"Actually, I didn't think of Kimiko at all," Said Raimundo, thinking back, "I think … I just thought 'damn'."

"Damn?" Asked Tammy.

"In a good way!" Said Raimundo, "Kind of like 'daaaamn!' Like a 'hot chick' sort of damn."

Tammy laughed and Raimundo grinned brightly.

"I wish I met you back before I met Kimiko," He said, "I think I'd have fallen for you instead."

"No you wouldn't have," Said Tammy, blushing slightly.

"Oh come on! You're hot!" Said Raimundo.

"No, up until I was fifteen, I was just so focused on trying to get everyone to like me I tried to follow all the fashions, but I would always be, like, one season behind, I didn't know how to put on make-up properly and I would never tell anyone any of the stuff I was into because no one else was into it." Said Tammy, "While I was at home listening to music I downloaded from places like Japan and China, everyone else would be listening to the latest charts and … I had nothing in common with any of my friends even!"

Raimundo smiled.

"Can I tell you something?" He asked.

"Of course," Said Tammy.

"I have eight brothers and sisters," Said Raimundo, "they are all great at something … or they were, I have no idea what happened to them … my brothers were always the best at soccer and my sisters were always good looking and popular. The only thing I had over them was martial arts. That's why when I was offered the chance to train at the temple I just went and didn't look back. I think that's why when Wuya offered me the chance to rule the world, I took it. I think I wanted to rule over everyone who had been better than me in the past."

"You're not the only one who's been tempted by the Heylin side and gone," Said Tammy, "Everyone had their demons."

"Yeah … I guess mine just got the better of me," Said Raimundo, "One more question."

"Shoot," Said Tammy.

"Why did you join the Rebellion?" He asked.

"Someone needed my services," Said Tammy, "I said I would do it."

"There's got to be more to it than that!" Said Raimundo.

"No … not really," Said Tammy, "There are things about my past that even I don't want to discuss with myself. My 'demons' as you could call it."

"Maybe another time," Said Raimundo.

"You'll find out when the time is right," Said Tammy.

"Do you realise that we're getting married?" Asked Yuuji, handing Kimiko a beer as he sat next to her on the edge of their balcony, "That's big!"

"I know," Said Kimiko, "I wasn't sure I'd ever live to get married."

"Don't talk like that," Said Yuuji.

"Well I wasn't." Said Kimiko, "I hoped though. I'm so glad that you asked me. If you hadn't, I don't think I'd have ever gotten married."

"I'd hope not!" Said Yuuji, "I never intended to leave you!"

"You never know what could happen," Said Kimiko.

"I just … I never saw myself breaking it off with you," Said Yuuji.

"I never thought that I'd do it to you either," Said Kimiko, "Though … we've been through a hard time recently."

"You mean with Raimundo?" He said,

"Hmm," Said Kimiko.

Yuuji swallowed.

"You did sleep with him didn't you?" He said.

Kimiko looked around at him.

"What?" She asked.

"Tell me, honestly!" He said.

Kimiko sighed and looked down at the street below.

"Yes." She said.

"Good," Said Yuuji.

"Good?" Asked Kimiko.

"I asked you the next day and you said yes. You didn't even ask to think about it." Said Yuuji, "That tells me, that after you stayed with him, you still chose me."

Kimiko smiled.

"I want to see this through to the end. It was stupid mistake and I told him that! Said Kimiko, "but … when I told him I was marrying you, he said that it doesn't change anything."

"Well, you're still arguing with him," Said Yuuji, "He still loves you, you still love him, but now he's giving you the space to decide and you're giving him the space to recover. It looks like Omi did something right by recovering after his control issues, you two were acting as naturally as I've seen you."

Kimiko smiled at Yuuji.

"I love you," She said, "you're like the perfect boyfriend."

"Fiancé," said Yuuji, "And I'm not perfect. There are things about me you don't know."

"Like what?" Asked Kimiko.

"I can't tell you." He said.

"Excuse me?" Asked Kimiko.

"Even I have my secrets." Said Yuuji.

Kimiko blinked at him with her one good eye. She smiled and took a sip from her beer.

"Just promise me one thing," She said.

"What?" Asked Yuuji.

"You won't say anything to Raimundo, I've got to tell him that you know. Other wise …" She trailed off.

"I get it," Said Yuuji.

"Thank you," Said Kimiko.

Yuuji stretched and yawned.

"Tomorrow isn't going to be a nice peaceful day," He said, "Igirisu should be arriving and I've got another ten tons of paperwork, including another load of applications for the guard."

"At least people are applying." Said Kimiko.

"But most of them are kids hoping to get fame and fortune out of it," Said Yuuji.

"That's how I started," Said Kimiko, slightly snippy, glancing sideways at him, "I turned out fine."

"I know, but the paperwork is really being passed around. Tammy picked up tons of paper today and just put it all down on my desk without sorting through it." Said Yuuji, "Who knows what she dumped on there."

"Dump it back," Said Kimiko.

"I can't, I have a feeling it'll just be put back again," Said Yuuji.

They sat in silence for a moment.

"Bloody paperwork," Said Kimiko.

"Amen to that," Said Yuuji.

"Can we stop in at work quickly?" Asked Tammy, "There's something I left behind."

"Sure," Said Raimundo.

Tammy smiled and walked up the steps to the headquarters. Raimundo followed her. This entire floor was empty; everyone on duty was in the higher levels.

As Tammy walked over to her desk, she started sorting through the papers on her desk, frowning as she looked at sheet after sheet.

Raimundo wandered over to an open door not far off. He hadn't been in here before. It looked like an office … a very unorganised office. There was a large pile of papers on the desk; there were several filing cabinets with their draws open and papers shoved roughly inside. The computer monitor hadn't been turned off and a few papers had fallen off the desk and had landed on the floor next to piles of old newspapers from before this war even began! It looked like this person had been doing some research. Hanging up in the open closet at the back was the person's ninja gear.

Raimundo walked around the back of the desk and looked around. On the desk were two photos. One of Yuuji and Kimiko and one of Yuuji and an old guy Raimundo guessed was his father. Raimundo must have wandered into Yuuji's office. He was about to turn and leave when he caught a couple of the papers on the desk and they fell to the floor. He bent down to pick them up.

He lifted up a couple of the sheets of paper and underneath was an envelope with a sheet of paper half sticking out. Raimundo was going to put it back in when he noticed that the paper was in fact a map to Chikatetsu Machi. Raimundo frowned. On the back of the paper were lots of bullet points, all about the Chikatetsu Machi security. Inside the envelope was also a small sample of the DOJO crystal wrapped in a piece of paper and on the paper is explained about how to work it and how the knife system worked. When a group moved on from a camp they left a knife with blood on it behind to show allies that they had moved on.

Raimundo stood up, in this envelope was everything someone would need to know to get into Chikatetsu Machi undetected. Or how to close down the security to get an army in! It had all the information right down to the number of soldiers the guard and underneath it said 'still recruiting'. Raimundo turned the envelope over. The letters on the front were written in some unknown language and there were the numbers '03' and '25'.

Raimundo walked out and over to Tammy's desk. She had obviously gone to look somewhere else for whatever she was searching for. Raimundo tapped a few of the keys and brought up the latest outgoing calls. There was no record of who had made them, but what was there made Raimundo feel sick. ChYo was next to a lot of calls. The third letter of the alphabet; C and the twenty-fifth; Y. And those letters? Who else could they stand for … but Chase Young?

"A spy …" Whispered Raimundo.

"What?" Asked Tammy, walking back into the room.

Raimundo turned around, the envelope still in his hand.

"Raimundo …" Began Tammy.

"Yuuji …" Said Raimundo, "Yuuji's a spy."

Tammy blinked.

"We've got to do something," Said Raimundo, "I've got to find Kimiko."

"I've got to make a call, you go one ahead!" Said Tammy.

Raimundo nodded and left. How could it be? He trusted Yuuji, Kimiko loved him! How could he be spy?

(A/N) Well well, a twist here. It appears we've found Chase's Spy.

Tell me what you think.

Lots of luv, Becky.
