FanKnight: YAY! Thanks for the reviews guys…well here goes chapter seven! Just want you all to know, It'll take me longer to update…school and such…evil…it really is…any way…
I do NOT own Xiaolin Showdown
I DO own the new wu and evil dragons
No flaming please no one likes to read it, and no one really needs it. Don't like? Don't read! That simple …
Emerald eyes opened to find a red faced dragon of the water, dried lips wet them selves before they uttered words.
"Omi?"
A wounded dragon of wind groaned as his wounds throbbed, the blush gone from Omi's face he frowned and looked to Raimundo, a small smile on his face as he soaked a cloth and put it on the dragon's forehead.
Raimundo sighed a moment as some water dripped from the cloth and traveled down his face to his cheek. The cut still there, he had broken a few ribs, and was cut severely along his back and upper body.
Omi smiled slightly and reached out, touching the wet skin. The droops glowed blue and the cheeks wound healed almost instantly. Omi blinked confused by this, he looked to Raimundo who had smiled at the feeling of the wound healing.
As Raimundo opened his mouth to speak, Master Fung chose this moment to enter.
"How are you feeling Raimundo?"
He asked as Omi still sat confused at how he'd healed Raimundo. Master Fung just smiled.
"I see your powers are awakening young monk…"
He said softly as Omi looked at Master Fung, Raimundo following suit.
"More powers? But Master Fung, I do not understand…"
Omi began as he slowly stood, Master Fung just smiled again and waved a hand in dismissal.
"You are growing more powerful, your powers will react to your elements the stronger you grow…."
Master Fung had sighed as he knew what the two would have to over come, what Omi would have to give up in order to save them all.
"Omi…I want you to use your new found power to heal Raimundo, we will need all the strength we can muster."
Omi turned slightly red with Raimundo, causing the monk master to smile. With a curt bow he left, Kimiko and Clay's voices a mere mutter, Dojo's loud voice and the sound of him taking off.
Omi sighed and looked at Raimundo who's emerald eyes seemed to be dancing. Slowly and with a sigh Omi touched the surface of the water in a bowl, it glowed blue a moment. Bringing the his wet hand to a large wound upon Raimundo's right peck he left his breath glow before touching it gently.
The dragon of wind groaned, in pain at first then in relief as the wound healed rather quickly. It was like his dream before, Omi's hand caressing his wounds away, his waters healing and cooling him.
With in a half hour Omi had healed several wounds, several looking deep. Surprisingly Omi's power left no scars on the wind dragons tan body. Both had become silent as Raimundo sat up.
"Thanks…Omi…."
Raimundo sat softly, looking at his blood soaked pants. His emerald eyes shimmering as he smiled softly.
Omi merely smiled and stood. He sighed as he leaned against a pillar his mind like a whirlpool in thought.
"Raimundo….about before…"
Omi started as he thought, he was still very confused about the events that had taken place. VERY confused.
"I do not understand these…these emotions I have come across these past days. They have left me planed out."
"Zoned out."
Raimundo corrected with a slight smile, before looking at Omi with his smile still.
"What emotions O-man?"
He asked, already knowing. He'd learn to read Omi, as well as Kimiko and Clay something about his element this being a new power. He thought it was called 'Empathy', Master Fung had told him long ago, he thought it not important but now he was beginning to wonder.
Omi sighed and thought a moment before glancing back at Raimundo.
"Affection, Anger, Depression, and many more….the rise of affection concerns me most as I am unable to love in that way."
Raimundo just nodded, his emerald eyes glazing over as his thoughts began to drift.
"Omi…why not?"
He asked the water dragon quietly, who blinked a moment before answering.
"Long ago….Grand Master Dashi and Wuya were in love….before she knew of power, before she took up her Heylin powers. She was good then, and from legends beautiful. She choose Dashi as he did her though something pulled them together. No one knows what went wrong by the two were never married. Instead Grand Master Dashi created the Xiaolin order, the last rule that of affection. Some say it is because the grand master lost his love to darkness the rule was made, others say it was to protect the monks from feeling such things."
Raimundo just nodded silently, before looking at Omi.
"You don't…have to become the grand master Omi…you could…leave the temple…"
At these words Raimundo frowned at the look upon Omi's face. It was calm but then turned to that of a frown.
"I have nothing else…no where to go Raimundo…there is nothing I do better then…well…what I am now…."
"But you don't know what's out there…who's out there…maybe you'll meet someone destined for you O-man…you never…know…"
The final words were silence by the look Omi gave Raimundo. It said so many things, things the dragon of the wind didn't wish to hear, things he refused to.
"Raimundo why is it you want me to leave the temple? Is it you no longer wish for me to stay here?"
Raimundo sighed before looking at his hands, he rubbed them to gether trying to return the feeling to them.
"It's not that…It's…I want you to see what there is behind the temple walls…the masters have all seen what they needed to see, that's why they came here…Omi you've only just begun to live…"
"The dragon of wind speaks the truth."
Master Fung's calm voice said from the door as he walked towards both.
"I however you will the choice up to you Omi and you may always return if you wish…this place will always be your home…."
The dragon of the water just nodded, his head bowed as he left, Master Fung turning and frowning to Raimundo.
"Affection of the kind can cloud the judgment young one, know what you feel is true before acting upon them…"
Raimundo just nodded slowly before watching Master Fung exit. It lay back and shut his eyes, no sleep coming to him he lay and wait, thinking, listening, waiting he knew something would come he didn't know what though.
Day became night, as the moon rose high into the night sky several stars shinned brightly waiting for the sun to come and hide them again.
The dragon of wind still lay upon his bed mat, still waiting still resting. He seemed to have thought of all the things he could but when the sound of shifting water could be heard he rose like a swift gust. Moving like a breeze he watched from a cracked oak door, moon light revealing his tan face and chest.
"Tsunami Strike! Water!"
Omi's voice cried as water shot up and into the air, as the water landed he frowned and seemed to think a bit before trying again his voice now in a low growl.
"Tsunami Strike! Water!"
He shouted once again to have the water shoot up but then dissipate. Raimundo just smiled and opened the oak doors slowly, slipping out he jumped and watched from his perch. Watching Omi train was like a free show.
"Water!"
"Water!"
"Water!"
Omi cried over and over and over again until he fell back, resting, his breath coming in large gulps. He seemed to calm himself looking at the water, the moon reflecting with in it.
Raimundo just smiled and jumped down quietly, walking slowly to his fellow dragon he stopped just behind him.
"Training at this hour?"
He asked, a slight rise in his voice as he noticed Omi shiver from his own. Omi turned and smiled before looking back at the water.
"When I was protecting you from the other dragons…I….I unleashed a great amount of power….I do not know how…but I did…and it drove them off…"
Both were quiet before Raimundo spoke, changing the subject.
"How did finding the wu go?"
Omi seemed to perk up at this and smiled. His gaze still upon the water, his eyes shifting to Raimundo's reflection.
"The Phoenix Broach and the Halo of Angellus have been retrieved."
Omi said simply, before standing slowly a small smirk on his face.
"I see you are feeling better…."
Raimundo just rose an eyebrow, then nodded.
"That is very good Raimundo….very good in deed…it is must unfortunate that you are not very dry…."
Raimundo blinked a moment eyes widening, but it was to late.
"Water!"
Omi cried, as a large water sphere dropped above Raimundo drenching him head to toe. The dragon of wind stood blinking in confusion at what had just happened. He looked at the smirking Omi confused.
"Kimiko has told me many a thing my friend…and the next time you try to 'pull a move' you must be more clever."
Raimundo went scarlet in the face, how had Omi known? Had Kimiko really taught him that much?
"R-right…"
He muttered turning around, shaking his hair causing it to spike up in every which way. He sighed a moment stretching, then smiled at the stars above.
"I'm hitting the sack…night O-man."
Raimundo said smiling before looking back to find Omi in front of him another smirk on his face as he stepped close to Raimundo. Raimundo seemed to freeze and turn a deep red as Omi just smiled.
"I am truly glad you are ok…Raimundo…."
He said hugging the dragon of wind tightly, Raimundo stood a moment before hugging the smaller monk warrior back. He sighed, why this felt so right caused him anger as he knew it would never happen. What happened next however gave hope.
"I would follow you…."
Omi whispered a moment before smiling and walking to his room, each having gotten their own room as they had gotten older. Kimiko needing more privacy, the boys just needing more room.
Raimundo watched the dragon of water walk off and just smiled, the places where Omi's skin had touched his burning with warmth.
"Good night then…."
He whispered looking up at the moon, the smile never leaving his lips…..
