A/n: Ah, it's been awhile since I've actually updated this story. Anyway, here's the next chapter of Xiaolin Rent. This one's Goodbye Love (watch the deleted scenes and you'll see the mark/roger part where they sing.) And just so you know, Wuya isn't a ghost anymore, she's human.
If you're reading this I need your reviews because I need people to take a poll. In La Vie Boheme I need to know who you want to be gay. If you chose Other please specify who you want it to be. Thanks!
Guys:
1. Clay
2. Omi
3. Jack
4. Chase
5. Other
Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown.
Warning: Nothings changed from the first 2.
Goodbye Love.
The funeral had been long, mainly because each monk had many things to say about Clay. Jack had said something about him- mainly about how Clay had welcomed him in when he gave up evil for good. Many of the other monks in the temple had things to say about him too. After the graveside service, everyone left, saying their final good-byes. The only ones left standing in the cemetery were Ashley, Wuya, Rai, Kimiko, Chase, Omi, and of course, Jack. Kimiko looked up as they were walking and sighed when she spotted Roger ahead of her, still not saying anything.
Kim: It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car?
Rai: It's true - I'm leaving now for Santa Fe.
It's true you're with this yuppie scum?
Rai glared back at Chase, who had just joined them walking.
Chase: You said you'd never speak to him again
Kim: Not now
Ashley: Who said that you have any say in who she says things to at all?
Rai: Yeah!
Wuya: Who said that you should stick your nose in other people's...
Ashley: Who said I was talking to you?
Everyone stopped walking next to a large oak tree. Its normally green leaves were bright red and orange, thanks to the fall weather. Wuya was glaring at Ashley and Kimiko was glaring at Raimundo, Chase at her side.
Wuya: We used to have this fight each night
She'd never admit I existed
Wuya turned to face Kimiko, knowing she would understand.
Omi: Calm down, everyone please.
Kim: He was the same way - he was always
"run away - hit the road- don't commit" you're full of shit!
Kimiko glared at Rai before turning to face Wuya again.
Chase: Kimi!
Wuya: She's in denial-
Kim: He's in denial-
Wuya: Didn't give an inch when I gave a mile
Omi: Guys, come on
Kim: I gave a mile
Rai looked at Kimiko, returning her glare.
Rai: Gave a mile to who?
Omi & Chase: Come on guys chill!
Kim & Wuya: I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Clay had,
someone to live for - unafraid to say I love you
Rai: All your words are nice Kimi but love's not a three-way street
you'll never share real love until you love yourself - I
should know.
Jack walked up- looking very upset at the moment. He stepped in-between Kimiko and Rai, trying to stop the fighting.
Jack: You all said you'd be cool today so please for my sake...
I can't believe he's gone
I can't believe you're going
I can't believe this family must die
Clay helped us believe in love
I can't believe you disagree
ALL: I can't believe this is good-bye
The group all turned and walked in separate directions.
: Later That Night :
Omi and Rai were in their apartment, Rai was packing the last of his things before leaving for good.
Omi: I hear there are great restaurants out west
Rai: Some of the best, how could she?
Omi: How could you let her go?
Rai: You just don't know ... how could we lose Clay?
Omi: Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain at least now if you try
Clay's death won't be in vain
Rai: His death is in vain
Omi: Are you insane? There's so much to care about there's me there's Kimi-
Rai: Kimi's got her baggage too
Rai pulled the string on one of his bags, tying it shut.
Omi: So do you
Rai: Who are you to tell me what I know.
What to do
Omi: A friend
Rai: But who Omi are you?
"Omi has got his work" they say
"Omi lives for his work" and
"Omi's in love with his work"
Omi hides in his work
Omi: From what?
Rai: From facing your failure,
Facing your loneliness, facing the fact you live a lie
Yes, you live a lie tell you why you're always preaching not to be numb
When that's how you thrive you pretend to create and observe
When you really detach from feeling alive
Omi: Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive
Rai: Poor baby
Rai threw the bag over his shoulder and started walking to the door, but stopped in the living room when Omi started again.
Omi: Kimi still loves you
Are you really jealous or afraid that Kimi's weak?
Rai: Kimi did look pale
Omi: Kimi's gotten thin
Kimi's running out of time
And you're running out the door-
Rai: No more! I've gotta go
I'll call, I hate the fall.
Rai opened the door and stopped in his tracks when he saw Kimiko standing there, leaning against the doorway with her arms crossed.
Rai: You heard?
Kim: Every word
You don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees
You don't want to watch me die?
I just came to say goodbye love goodbye love came to say goodbye love,
Goodbye..
Rai started to walk down the stairs, trying to drown her out.
Kim: Just came to say
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Goodbye
Rai: Glory
One blaze of
Glory
I have to find
Chase came up the stairs, returning the glare he received from Rai before continuing. When he reached Kimiko she pushed his hand away.
Kim: Please don't touch me understand
I'm scared I need to go away
Omi: I know a place, a clinic
Chase: A rehab?
Kim: Maybe could you?
Chase: I'll pay
Kimiko ran down the stairs to her apartment and leaned against the closed door once she was safe inside.
Kim: Goodbye love,
goodbye love came to say goodbye love goodbye
just came to say goodbye love goodbye love goodbye love
Hello disease.
She watched Raimundo drive away, never to return.
