"Uh…Wow! I've got to go now. Uh, I catch up with you later." She said, whipping out a skateboard.
"Jack right?" She asked, looking back.
Jack nodded slowly.
"Cool! See ya around!" Kailani yelled. She gave a quick wave before jumping on her board and riding away.
Time went mind numbingly slow for Kimiko. She kept urging Dojo to fly faster, which he eventually began to ignore. It was dark out when the Dragon Apprentices finally reached the Xiaolin Temple. Kimiko hopped off Dojo and ran to the door. She almost didn't see Master Fung standing in her way!
"Ah. Kimiko." Master Fung said. "I believe your cousin is here."
Just inside, Kailani was sitting with one of the monks as he showed her the proper way to use the Monkey Staff. She snatched it from him and began to swing around the room.
"Kailani! Kimiko is here!" Master Fung called over his shoulder.
Kailani stopped dead in her tracks. She saw Kimiko at the door and was beside herself. She swung over to her. Right before she reached her, Master Fung grabbed the Monkey Staff and Kailani wrapped her arms around her cousin. After a while, Kimiko brought Kailani over to meet the rest of the gang. They all climbed off Dojo as he shrank to normal size.
"Kailani? This is Clay," Clay tipped his hat and Kailani curtsied. "Raimundo," They pounded fists. "Omi," They bowed to each other. "And Dojo." Kailani ran out of ideas, but Dojo shook her hand.
"Come on Kailani!" Kimiko said.
She grabbed her cousin and pulled her away from the rest of the group.
"Funny. I really don't see the resemblance." Raimundo said to Clay.
Just then, Kailani and Kimiko sat facing each other and whipped out a couple of hand-helds.
"Never mind." Raimundo said.
"Oh my gosh. You'll never guest what happened to me on the way here." Kailani said, while she and Kimiko punched buttons on their gadgets.
"I met this guy, Jack something, kind of creepy. He had some weird ghost friend too…Anyway, I had my first Xiaolin Showdown! Thankfully I knew what to do since you sent me all those emails on it, but I still lost. It was soo cool though! Besides, I only lost the shroud of shadows." Kailani said.
"Eh, you win some you lose some." Kimiko said. "Wait. Did you say Jack? Guy with red hair, rest is black, really weird goggles, flying helicopter backpack?"
Kailani nodded.
"With a weird purple ghost thing?"
She nodded again.
"She met Jack and Wuya!" Omi said.
"Could have sworn I told you about them." Kimiko said.
"It's best you stay away from ol' Jack." Clay advised. "Feller aint' nothin' but trouble."
"Yea, he's always trying to get his dirty, little hands on the Shen Gong Wu." Dojo added.
"You can't trust him as far as you can through him." Kimiko said.
"Don't worry." Kailani told them. "I can handle him."
"Jack! You can't flirt with the enemy!" Wuya scolded once they had reached home.
"Well, you know what they say! Like your enemies, it gets them confused." Jack said wittily.
"Nobody says that." Wuya grumbled, as she floated into the next room.
Jack looked out of his window at the crescent moon above.
"Oh Kailani. I long for the day when our paths will cross again." He said dreamily.
Miles away at the Xiaolin Temple, a shudder ran down Kailani's spine.
