Chapter 5

The moment ruined

Morning came a few hours later the sun shinning over the green landscape, the wind gently blowing over the grass, trees, and flowers outside of the temple. The sun shined through Kimiko's window, the dragon of fire awoke with a yawn, she got dressed and headed into the kitchen to find Clay and Maya at the stove.

" Mornin' little lady." Clay greeted

Kimiko smiled, she had grown to love his Texan accent, you got use to it after a while.

" Morning cowboy." Kimiko greeted

Clay put two plated on the table and gave a bowl of food to Maya, the cowboy sat down at the table he sat there staring at the table for moment, suddenly he hit the table causing the plates to rattle.

" What's the matter Clay?" Kimiko asked

" Just rememberin' the dream I had last night." Clay replied

Kimiko didn't want to ask, the cowboy was shy and didn't talk to many girls without stuttering a bit, she just at her breakfast without another word. But Clay seemed very stressed it looked like he was in deep thought.

" What was your dream about." Kimiko asked

" Well, in my dream I was havin' a great conversation with the most beautiful girl I have ever met, but my father and Master Fung said that we could be together." Clay replied sadly

" You like her a lot don't you?" Kimiko asked

" She's prettier than a yellow rose in spring." Clay replied

" Why not tell her that?" Kimiko offered

" I'm too shy to tell her about my feelings." Clay replied blushing

" You just have to push all of your negative thoughts to the side Clay. That's the only thing that is stopping you from telling her." Kimiko said

Clay smiled as he picked up the dishes and washed them, he left the kitchen without another word. Kimiko sighed as she left the kitchen and went into her room, she folded the purple and put it on her mat she was still going to keep it even if Clay didn't like her. She sat down on the mat looking out her window watching the clouds roll across the blue sky. She then heard a noise from the doorway but she saw nothing.

" I must be hearing things again." Kimiko thought

Her attention turned back to her window and the bright blue sky. Kimiko felt torn, but Clay was happy and that's all she wanted.

" Kimiko." said a voice

" What's up cowboy?" Kimiko asked

" I need to tell you somethin'" Clay said

" Okay I'm listening." Kimiko replied

" I know that we've only here a little over a year now and that we don't know each other all that well... but... I really like you Kimiko." Clay said blushing a deep red

" I like you too Clay, you're so sweet and kind that's what I like about you." Kimiko said

" I thought you was crushin' on Rai." Clay said

" I was, but he's too into himself I didn't like that very much. Plus I don't want a guy who will constantly touch my butt." Kimiko replied

Clay smiled as he sat next to Kimiko putting a hand on top of hers, Kimiko blushed a bit knowing her dreams have come true.

" Everyone outside! The temple is being attacked!" Dojo called

The monks rushed outside to find Jack laughing as his robots attacked the temple. Maya came up behind them looking around, she growled at this.

" We have to stop this." Omi said

Omi as usual rushed into battle with Raimundo right behind without thinking. Clay and Kimiko on the other hand thought before they attacked, the two rushed in.

" You won't beat me this time." Jack laughed

The robots attacked the four monks, a large group of them knocked out Omi and Maya while only four knocked Raimundo out by throwing him into a wall.

" Now for you two." Jack said

Clay and Kimiko stood back-to-back as tons of robots surrounded them, their laser aimed at them the two had noway out of this. Clay knew it was risky but he knew the only way out was for him and Kimiko to attack at the same time, the cowboy nudged Kimiko who nodded.

" Judolette Flip- Fire!" Kimiko called

" Seismic Kick- Earth!" Clay called

By now Omi, Raimundo, and Maya came to in time to see the ground cracking and raising as fire blazed along side it. The robots exploded at the same time which sent out a wave of energy and dust.

When the dust cleared Omi, Raimundo, Maya, Master Fung, and Dojo saw Clay holding Kimiko tightly with a wall of earth in front of them.
