Chloe: I'm back.

Shel: Oh great.

Chloe: So who was my replacement?

Shel: umm…

Chloe: Was it rai?

Shel: Well…

Chloe: Was it Kimiko? Bob? A hobo? The ice cream man?

Shel: Well no.

Chloe: Then who was it?

Shel: It was Carlos.

Chloe: You get rid of me for one chappie and then you replace me for my brother! I would have picked bob or the ice cream man.

Shel: Personally I would have gone with the hobo. Now that you're here can you do your job?

Chloe: Here's chapter 14. Oh and who ever reviews gets a cookie.


The birds started to chirp their songs and the sun began to cast its rays over the land of Brazil. Raimundo and Kimiko had fallen asleep last night before his story was done. It was now the morning in which they had to go back to the temple. So neither of them were in any rush to wake up.

Going back to the temple meant doing chores, training, and occasionally finding new shen gong wu. The same routine they have been doing for a few years now. But now they would learn new things at the temple. Like how to fight stronger evils in this world. Some that have been around for centuries possibly longer

Then one of them would always lose their way to the dark side. It really wasn't uncommon for them to go and rescue one of their comrades. But each time they did they always kinda found something to make their friendships more closer. Some of their friendships have even turned in to relationships.

In Raimundo and Kimiko's case it did. It all started back when Raimundo chose to go over to the heylin side because he didn't get his apprentice sash. But then a few days of being teamed up with Wuya made him see what it was like living in the lap of luxury. The final straw broke when Wuya tried to kill his friends after they tried to save him. From that moment on he saw that they were trying to help him the whole time he just didn't want to see it.

From that days on they would never forget that day that really tested their friendship. Of course they get mad at each other time and again. But that's how you build a friendship. It's also how you make a relationship grow. Now Kimiko and Raimundo had a fight, but it didn't hurt their relationship. Instead it made it stronger.

That was something they were learning in their lives so far. What it takes to make or break friend and relationships. And something else that has helped them is team work. They have been using team work ever since they had came to the temple. It was something that had kept them together.

Now as the sun started to shine brighter and the clouds drifted away revealing the crystal blue skies, it became morning. The morning when Kimiko and Raimundo would leave back for the temple and continue with their training, finding shen gong wu, and fighting evil.

The bedside alarm clock started to ring uncontrollably.

Ring, ring.

"Rai turn that stupid thing off!" groaned Kimiko as she started to rub her eyes open.

"Where in the hell is that stupid thing?" Raimundo said lying under the covers trying to find the alarm clock. Then he touched smoothing that resembled the shape if the circle alarm clock. He tapped it a few times then said, "Found the stupid thing." And switched it off.

"Why do alarm clocks have to be so loud and annoying?" Questioned rai as he started to get his cloths and go down stairs for breakfast.

"Duh, so they wake you up." Kimiko answered. "I thought every one knew that?" She said going in the bathroom and getting dressed.

"Hey, can I come in there with you?" Rai begged.

"No!" she screamed slamming the door. Moments later she walked out in a white tube top and a denim mini skirt.

"Didn't you take a shower? I thought you always took one in the morning?" Raimundo said as she began to brush her long black hair.

"I do but last night I washed it and tied it up in braids so it would be kinda dry and kinda wet." She said while she undid the last braid and brushed it out.

"Girls are confusing you think you know them but then you don't." shrugged rai as he watched Kimiko put the last finishing touches with her hair.

"Hey it's not our fault you guys are confusing too. I mean half of you just want to make love and the other half just want to….you know I don't really know. But you guys are confusing too." She replied.

Raimundo went over to her and gave her a hug and a kiss good morning. And she embraced it.

"So what was that for?" Kimiko whispered in a quiet voice.

"Nothing I just wasted to say good morning and thank you." He said as she rested her head on his chest.

"But what did I do?" she asked as she pulled away for a moment.

"You are the only person I trusted enough to listen to me when no one else would." He replied as they split apart and now holding hands and walking toward the door.

"Well then your welcome. Now come on let's get some breakfast and then we have to go back to the temple." Kimiko started to lead the way down stairs.

"You know I've been kind of hoping this day wouldn't come." He said with a slight frown on his face. "You know for sure Master Fung would never let us do 'it' down there."

She paused for a moment and then remembered that rai was right.

"Well I guess it's for the better then. I don't think I could handle a little baby right now. And I'm sure he has a good reason." Replied Kimiko as she started to walk more slowly down the stairs.

After breakfast the two of them had started to pack up heir things and get ready to leave. All of their things were thrown every where in the room.

"We should have done this last night." Groaned Raimundo as he was trying to find his shirts.

"Well we were fighting last night, remember?" she said throwing some of his stuff at him.

"Oh yeah, I guess I wanted to forget it." He said trying to shut his suite case.

After about another hour of getting kimiko's shut they had to move everything down stairs. It was only kimiko's stuff that was really heavy to move. They finally had everything moved out on the porch. And since Raimundo's family had gone in to town for some things and they had already said good bye, they were ready to go.

"Silver Manta R-"Raimundo's cell phone had gone off. He thought it was Kimiko's but she talking to her father in Japan. So the next logical choice was his.

"Talk to me. Oh hey omi, what's up? Ok so you guys are coming here? For what? Hello, Omi? Wait your breaking up." He hung up his phone.

"Ok dad I'll call you later." She said hanging up her phone. "So what did they want?"

"Well they said wait here because they are going to pick us up. But I couldn't here the rest. One of us had really bad static." He explained.


A/n Finally I got this chapter done. I think it took me like an hour to write this. Wow that's faster than when I first started.
