Chapter 6
Trusting you
Somewhere up in the mountains...
"They really are lost. This is soo not good. From temple guardian to babysitting to searching for the dragons I do babysitt." said a familiar green dragon.
"We've been through this mountain region four darn times. We might as well call it a day. Dag darn it they're harder to find than a needle in a haystack factory."
"I fear you are right Clay. Let us retreat back to the temple and seek wisdom and advice from Master Fung."
"I guess so." Dojo suddenly turned directions and headed for the temple. "Back to the temple."
Kim's POV
"OMIGAWDDD...you what! Ooh, this is too good."
"Dang girl, its not like its a big deal." Rai, trying to defend himself, but in the process he turned redder than a ripened tomato.
"Yeah it is. Woahhhhh...what happened afta?"
"We got sent out and had two weeks detention."
"But this is unbelievable! The smoothest, most charming-est of the Xiaolin warriors was caught! And couldn't get out of it! This is too much!"
"Wait! Did I just hear a couple of compliments from Miss Toho?"
"No, its sarcasm dofus..."
"Come off it Kim, you know that I am, charming and of course smooth and don't forget handsome and-"
"-don't flatter yourself pretty boy...letss-get off that topic."
"Its my turn now!" he said with a raised brow. "Oh God, please help me..." I prayed as he laughed and thought of what to do to me. He had one of those evil yet so...-i can't believe im saying this-but sexy grins.
"Truth...or dare?" he said in a weird, kind of, almost...seductively way.
"I choose tru..." as I mouthed the beginning of the word he gave me a look as if i was a chicken, and i stopped and quickly replaced it with the mere words " I choose dare."
"Yesss..." he said doing that elbow gesture. What did I just do?
"Okay, what was I gonna make you do if you said dare..." he said while pondering... I couldn't stand it anymore. I just lost it and blurted out...
"Hurry up, and say it Gaki!" Oops...
"What did you just say?"
"Oh, nothing..." I replied then automatically whistling and turning away, trying to act innocent. I looked back and he said suspiciously
"Whats a 'Gaki'?" he looked so baffled after a minute of mo reply past, i couldn't help but giggle.
"Its um...means a um...handsome!"
"Okay then...Really? It does?" he shifted his eyes and raised his brow.
"Yeah...um sure!"
"Cool, I'm Gaki." haha... this is soo funny. I went rummaging in my bag and looked for my cell. I really needed to tell Keiko this. But then I remembered there was no signal at all in this place and my phone as a result of non-usage died. "Grrrrrr."
"Come on Kim...back to the game."
"Yeah yeah...whatever. Whats my dare?"
"I dare you to let me do your hair from now on, for a week which starts now. Even in the temple."
"Do you think they'll ever come and find us Rai?" I felt really worried and sad after he mentioned the temple. Were they every going to find us? What if we remain here even longer...What if they just give up on us...
"Of course, don't worry. Tell you what, later on in the noon (I looked away from him, it always had to be the noon) i mean the morn, we'll make a start at getting to a city or somewhere more noticeable..." That made no sense at all really, but I had lots of faith in Rai. I liked him at these times, when he's just that sweet and caring Raimundo, but still I have to admit I also like that funny, arrogant side of him too.
"Now back to the dare, remember... i get to do your hair!"
"NOOOOOO, my precious...HAIRRRRRR. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I shouted, that you could hear it echo in the valley like there were a thousand of me.
"Geez girl. Don't need to shout. Damn that is some loud scream you have."
"You have to fight me first."
"What? To get to your hair? Come on its one little thing..." I started to position myself in a fighting stance,
"You know that I always win," he sighed and finishing off with a big smirk.
"Well, um," I was clueless about what to do next. No way was I gonna let this boy do my hair or even get near it! Then I turned and did the only thing I could do...run. "Catch me if you can. oOh I love that movie!" I squirmed. I ran around the whole room.
"Sure. I always catch you." I turned and smack down. He tackled me onto the floor, and some wind curtosey of Mister Pedrosa pushed my head back down onto the floor when I tried to push him off. But as usual I was unsuccessful,
"I hate always losing to you."
"Owell, so..."
There was a hesitation of speech between me and him. He was on top of me, his hands on the floor just next to my head, his eyes reflecting an emerald version of myself which slowly disappeared as I gazed into them starting to be breathless by the stunning crystal green orbs. His breath touched my skin every single second he was on me, it was pure and also minty fresh. I have to admit for a psycho he does have gorgeous eyes and minty breath. I could feel the heat radiating from him and transferring onto me. My heart beat faster almost rapid, but I had no clue why I reacted this way. It was a sweet sensational moment in time that I wish would never stop; I couldn't move but truly I didn't want to...
"What?" my brain started to work again.
"Now you have to do the dare!" he grinned but it had a hint of sadness and frustration in it, i gulped.
"Fine..." I pushed him off me and sat down with my arms crossed.
"Ow, you push and hit too hard." He followed after a few seconds and sat his big buttocks on the floor right behind me.
"What did I do to deserve this?"
"You met me, hehe." Argggg. He took of my hair band and started doing my hair. More like destroying it...
"Please have mercy..." I whined.
"HAHA, this is going to be so much fun."
"At least let me see what you're doing!"
"Just trust me..."
---------20 minutes later...
"Are you done yet?" I leaned backwards and my hands made contact with the floor beside me.
"Nope just a little bit more..."
"What the heck are you doing!"
"Calm down, just trust me."
"Calm down? Calm down? You're frikin playing around with my precious hair? And I can't even see what you're doing! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Rai put his hand to forehead and sarcasm escaped from his mouth. "Its not like I'm making you commit suicide?"
"Humph..." I folded her arms.
"Girls..."
"What did you just say?" I felt so MAD, I wanted to rip his mouth off, so he would just shut up!
"Nothing."
Rai's POV
She inched her way to me. More and more, she rose up and she nearly had me pissing in my pants. I edgily backed away. I felt myself shrinking. These were those times were Kim was scary. When she lost her temper you could actually see the flames in her eyes and feel the heat brush you skin, but it was part of her charm and most of these moments I just couldn't resist her. It was scary yet attractive.
"It better have been." she turned around and sat back down. Still arms crossed, "Well, this might take a while since its you..." "What?""-So why don't we just continue the game while you're doing watever you're doing."
"Sure. Truth or..."
She interrupted me. "Hey, you already asked now its my turn. Truth or dare?"
"Grr...I choose truth."
"Hey, this is more of a truth or truth game to you."
"Maybe there'll be some dares later..." She arched her eyebrow at me.
"Okay, What's the most embarrassing moment of your life?"
"Great...I...I was in the beach in Rio, and I spotted this hot chick, and when I was about to go up to her I tripped up and fell on top of her. And to make it worse she screamed at me calling me a perv."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHH" I turned bright red. This was so embarrassing. Now she'll never respect me again. I started fiddling around with her hair again, after all it still needed some redoing. Hehe.
"This is real funny but I didn't like the sound of that girl he was talking about. Hot chick...whatever.." Kimiko thought.
"You're turn...up for another dare?"
"Since I'm still doing my dare, I choose truth."
"What's your greatest fear?"
"This...there was this doll. But when I was kinda young I watched this really freaky horror move about dolls. When I finished it I went to get her and found her in the state like the ones in the movies. And now it freaks me out a lot, I tried to throw it away but it kept comin back."
"HEHEHEHEHEHEHE" I struggled to open my eyes, it was so funny. I could imagine that. I saw her getting really mad and fire around her. My laughter died down and I continued doing her hair.
"Grrrrr...you better shut up or things are so gonna get ugly...like Jack Spicer ugly..." she turned around and punched me with so much force it was nothing compared to what she does to him.
"Okay, shezch girl. You hit way too hard for your size! Really."
"Grrrr..." Flames overwhelmed the true colour of her eyes. They seemed to reflect more red now.
"Fine your turn."
"Truth or Dare?"
"Truth."
"Argg...Fine, um...who would you rather kiss Clay or Omi? Heheheheheh..."
"I ain't answering that! And groossssss..."
"Come on"
"No,"
"You have to!"
"No I don't. And still no!"
"Grr...Fine then. Heres a easy one for you. Did you have a girlfriend in Rio?"
"Thats better. I did, but I broke up with her."
"Oh. Why? Sorry, I didn't mean to get all up in your personal life. Anyways it's your turn."
"No its okay. Her name was Celine, she wasn't brazilian, she was Spanish. She was one of those people who you instantly fall in love with. She was cool, nice, sexy and the most popular girl in school." I stopped there, I saw Kimiko wince when I made a whole list of how great she was. "Um, yeah. It was a Friday and we were gonna meet up for a movie right after school. I was waiting outside her Maths class, it was about a few minutes passed she still didn't come out so I decided to go on in. The door was closed and when I decided to open it I looked through the window to find her with someone else-kissing." I shook of that deep tone of mine. And just said, "WelI, chill. Its not a big deal," I saw her look down in pity. I didn't need it, I already got over it. "Hey Kim, no need to get all overwhelmed with pity. I'm over it."
Kim's POV
The sound of his voice seemed shaky and had a touch of sadness in it. But I knew he didn't want me getting all sad for him. There was one thing that shook me as odd though. I keep getting worked up about these things. I'm really starting to go mad if I'm getting in too deep about Rai's past and even Rai himself. Why did it bother me?
Now my insides started to get butterflies and a bit tense; I felt my pulse get quicker. I felt tense and mad; most of my anger caused by that bitch. I felt so much anger boil up and rage build up that if you measured it, probably it would be as high as the twin towers were. But that still couldn't describe fully how much I hated her for hurting my Rai-I mean um...Raimundo. Things crossed my mind like flying over there and giving her a taste of my 3 inched high heeled boots and a judallet flip. But then it dawned on me...Do I have feelings for him...I...No of course not. The thought of even being with him made me wanna puke. But actually, here I am...with him. Spending some quality one on one time with him, having fun...
"Yo Kim? Girl are you still there?"
"I was just thinking das all..."
"About what?"
"Oh just about..you know..."
"No actually I don't. Care to fill the blanks?"
"Oh its just what you were talking about..." I trailed off. I didn't want to get into this whole emotions thing.
"Oh! I get it. You were jealous, I thought I saw flames in your eyes."
"Oh no no no NO! NO! Thats so not it!" How could he think that? Me jealous? No way!
"Then what?"
"I just felt a bit mad that she hurt one of my friends thats all."
"So you do care about me."
"No! I mean um...just shut up!"
"Girls...Truth or dare?"
I was about to object to his question, he couldn't just walk away from what he just said. I was about half way there, my mouth open and the words about to voice out when I squeaked "Truth." What the hell?
"Lets see...Did you have a boyfriend in Tokyo? And you have to tell me everything." He arched his eyebrow.
"Uh.." I didn't know what to say...
"Come on..."
"Well..."
"Well what? Yeah or no?
"Ooh how persistent of you."
"Hey! I told you about Celine now cough up the truth. Do you have a boyfriend or not?"
"Wouldn't you like to know..." I stood up and walked up to the fireplace and smirked.
"Come on Kim..."
"Maybe..."
"You do!"
"Maybe not...hehe"
"I see, you don't have a boyfriend...cause if you did you would have already spilled the beans! Haha" Raimundo felt a rush of joy, he finally knew he had a proper chance with her... until that is...
"For you information, I actually did have a boyfriend!" Rai stopped cheering immediately. Haha I got you back...
3rd Person POV
Raimundo desperately wanted to run away. The words I actually do have a boyfriend rang in his head. He felt like the world came crashing down on him, his chance gone...A sense of dread and distance approached then claimed him. This was hurting him even killing him, not only did he lust for her he was in need of her desperately. He couldn't hold back all the feelings he had for her. Since the moment when he joined Wuya something always bugged him. Like he felt alone, not whole, not himself anymore. When he heard the words crush them he knew that he loved her. It was love all along, that he felt for her and nothing else, not hate not hurt not anger. These were all illusions to hide his true feelings.
Then something struck him. "You did have a boyfriend." A smile appeared slowly on his face.
"I mean...um...well?" her eyes shifted all over the place just to get away from his own.
"So you broke up with him or something?"
"Why would you care?"
"Eh, just wanna know."
She sighed and explained, "Its more of an on and off relationship, sometimes its I love you then I don't want to see your damn ugly face...I don't really know anymore..."
"Oh" That was his only reply for this answer. What could he say? What could he do...
"Trust me, it's over. I've had enough now."
"So...what happened between you two?"
She felt a struggle of words, nothing came out of her now dry mouth. She didn't want to speak of him any longer. The many times he hurt her filled her head. She quickly shut her eyes tightly trying to hold back the water. "I don't want to talk about this right now." there was now heard utter silence. She felt a warm touch on my shoulder. And as she re entered the world of reality, two emeralds gems gazed into her eyes.
"If you don't want to I won't make you but you know you can trust me..." Raimundo's voice faded, he got up and was about to walk off when a voice whispered "I know,"
He turned around to face a weeping pale young girl. He stood in awe of that site, she moved forward to him and they sat down side by side on the couch. "His name was Ryuumei," She put her elbow against the armrest and her head leaned onto it. Kim re started drowning out her sorrows and Raimundo watched and listened.
"When we got together I thought I had actually found my dream man, he had more of a bad boy rep, he was good looking, smart, athletic, everything. But that soon changed. He would be so obnoxious, i was more like a trophy than a girlfriend to him. He cheats on me, he swears at me, he even trys to go to third base and all the way around the field with me..."
"Whoa..." Raimundo couldn't help but wonder if he would ever get to third base with her, but right now he had more thoughts like even getting together with her.
"But in spite of all that I still kinda love him."
Kimiko brought her legs close up to her face. She held onto her legs and buried her head in the gap between the knees and arms. She tried desperately to hold onto the tears. She felt herself be moved and reaction of heat on her skin began. Kim looked up and saw the face of him. She let herself go and hugged back, she was holding on so tight that she could here him gasp for air but he chose not to make a big commotion though. After a few minutes she loosened her grip on him.
"This so ain't my style with all the hugging, (Kim eyed him) but since its you I guess it doesn't matter. (the crystal salty tears stopped falling and they let go of each other) You know, if theres something bothering you (she arched her brow while he scratched his head looking lost for words or maybe just plain embarrassed) you should you know...tell somebody."
"Yeah, I will..."
"So I guess you'll have to tell him...You're over." the brazilian couldn't help smile all the way through. They stood up to face each other,
"Yeah, when we get back to the temple I'll call him." she looked up to Rai, her eyes sparkling and a big smile across her face.
"Hey look, the suns about to dawn, and we didn't even get a wink of sleep. Awh man, now i'm gonna get bags under my eyes great."
"Sorry to break it to you Rai, they're already there."
"Damn, MY FACE!"
A beautiful cheerful laugh was let out from her mouth and the pale skin lifted but the touch of pink on her cheeks regained control and her rich red lips stood out. She felt a better knowing she had someone. He stopped whining and looked around, only to find the dear girl he had fallen in love with. He stared in the depths of her eyes, tears now falling. It seemed as if he were staring at two orbs of tornami's and it let out a river of water down her face. He leaned in and...
