Wind Blows Fire Away

Chapter 6...Getting Prepaired

"Miss, please keep your voice down."

"I WILL KEEP MY VOICE DOWN IF I PLEASE!"

"Kim, settle yourself down, please." Raimundo put a hand on her shoulder and she immediatly calmed down.

She took a deep breathe and closed her eyes for a moment. She opened them to hearing Clay's voice.

"Ain't there any way we can get our rooms for a bit cheeper?"

"I'm sorry sir, the price is $750 for four rooms."

"And Rai said this was going to be cheep." Kimiko muttered under her breathe.

"What was that?"

"Oh nothing Rai!" she smiled sweetly. Omi and Nick stayed back until Omi spoke.

"I do believe that we could possibly take two rooms? And share?" Omi got small as they all stared at him.

"Omi's got a good idea there." Nick nodded in agreement.

Kimiko hugged Omi, Omi smiled and Raimundo and Clay turned to the desk.

"How much money for two rooms?" Raimundo asked impatiently.

The woman pressed a few bottons on her computer and said, "The price of two rooms here is $475."

Everyone smiled and agreed this is what would be done. Of course, they all knew who they would be staying with, but them Raimundo and Kimiko had some doubt. Omi, Clay and Nick saw it in both Kimiko and Raimundo's eyes. So they decided the best was the split them up.

"I shall share with Kimiko!" Omi spoke up making them all look up. Before Raimundo or Kimiko had time to object another person spoke.

"Rai and I will take one then."

Nick glared at the lady at the desk and she quickly spoke, "Great, well here are your guys, have fun in Brazil!" she shrugged as Raimundo glared at her while they all walked toward their rooms.

"So Omi, which bed do you want?" Kimiko giggled going into their room. Clay smiled and went into the room across from theirs.

Nick pulled Raimundo aside and Raimundo started blurting out questions. "Why'd you guys do that? Did Kimiko tell you too?" "Does she not trust me anymore?"

"Dude, shut up, she might hear you. Now let's see. We did it because we thought you guys needed a little break from eachother, no and yes. So chill!"

"Sorry, but I just don't want her to think I don't like her anymore. I mean, she's one of the best things that has happened in my life."

Kimiko sigh, as she pulled her ear away from the door. 'He really cares about you, but then why does it seem like he doesn't?' She thought hard to herself about what the question meant.

"Kimiko, does something trouble you? Do you need a leg?"

She snapped back into focus and smiled, "No I'm alright Omi, again no I'm good and it's 'do you need a hand?'."

"That too!" he smiled because he saw he could make her laugh. At a time as harsh as this Omi thought it was the best he could do for her.

As Omi and Kimiko finished unpacking they heard a knock at the door. Omi went to open it, and Kimiko heard some muttering, but then Omi let the door swing open, just for Kimiko to see Raimundo walk in. "Rai?"

"Kim, I was wondering something."

Kimiko almost knew what he was going to say, either yell at her or dump her. She held her breathe as she waited for him to ask.

"Would you maybe like to go to the dance tomorrow night?"

Kimiko let out her breathe slowly in disbelief. He just asked her to go to a dance with him! 'Don't screw this up Kim, come on. Play it cool and say YES!' "Sure!" she felt excited, "That'd be cool." she smiled as he left.

"I am moost confused. I thought you and Raimundo were having a dog fight. How did you two make down so fast?"

"Well, I'm not sure what we were having. And by the way it's 'cat fight' and 'make up' so fast. We really need to get you working on your slang!" she said between laughs.

Omi stood their confused and was just about to say something back as she cut him off.

"How about tomorrow morning, we sneek out early and go find me a dress!"

Instead of saying what he was going to say, Kimiko got him off the subject. "That would be wonderful!"

"Get some sleep Omi," she chuckled. As soon as Omi's head hit the pillow he was out. "It's going to be tough getting him up tomorrow." she climbed onto her bed and fell asleep fast. It had been a long time since she was on a bed.

Across the hall, Clay was asleep and Raimundo was laying happily in bed. His smile hadn't been that big since he showed Kimiko the willow tree and river. He ended up falling asleep to what kind of dress Kimiko was going to be in, and no matter which it was she was going to look perfect.

With Sam and Katie...

"My dress is absolutly perfect! It will blow Raimundo away!" Sam squealed as Katie was started to get annoyed.

"Enough with the Raimundo thing! This was suppose to be our girls night to try to find dresses, and it turned out to be 'think, talk and do everything Raimundo!' It's driving me nuts!" Katie was just about screaming, and Sam looked at her a little shocked.

"I thought you'd be happy for me."

"I am, but is there something else you would at least attempt at talking about besides Raimundo?"

"Hmmm..." There was a long akward silence besides the occational 'hmm' or 'umm' from Sam.

"Just forget it! What about talking about the dresses?"

"Alright!" as they talked it was brought up about how they looked on eachother.

Sam's dress was all pink. It was sleeveless and it hugged her body until her waist. It turned out to be a 3 layer dress. First layer, closest to her, was a ruffle that made the dress from the waist until the end of it stick out, not hugging her legs. The second, was a layer of the same color pink as the top part of the dress, and it was silk. Then the top layer was another ruffle to glaze the effect of the silk, making it look as though it were behind a window. The dress went down over Sam's shoes, but as she walked there was no way for her to trip. Her shoes were a pinkish, white color that had a thin heel, and had two straps to slip your foot into. She had silver and pink hoop earings with a heart on them, A diamand necklace on with a matching braclet and a pink, little purse just big enough to hold a cell phone and make up in. It had sequence on it, with some loose string coming off the edge, and the purse went down to about her waist. A light pink silk scarf also hung down on her arms. Her hair going half way down her back, with a silver teirra to top it all off.

Katie's dress on the other hand was just a simple, black cocktail dress with ruffles. It went to just above her knees, and the ruffles started short on her left, but going to her right got longer. Making the dress look as though it was at a slant. She bought a black scarf and hung it on her neck, as though it was a black necklace that came down in the back. She had on long dangling earings that had red diamands on them. She had a couple string braclets taht were made of red and white string, and a ruby one as well. Her purse was big enough for money, a cell phone, make up and back up make up. Her shoes were black and the were thick, and there was one thick strap on the shoe, but then a pull over strap to go over her heel. Her long brunette hair was going to be put into a bun, with like Sam, a teirra that would outline the front of the bun.

"Oh come on, we have to hurry. It's getting late. How about you sleep over?" Sam suggested once they got back to her house.

"Sure, here, let me call my mom quick. Where's my cell?"

"I think it's in the bag." Sam tried to think back.

As Katie called her mom Sam explained to her mother why they were out so late. Her mother sigh in defeat, but told her to go straight to bed as punishment for not calling. Sam groaned, but Katie fell asleep faster then anyone expected. 'Tomorrow night will be perfect. I will have Raimundo back, will have broken that Jack Spicer guy's heart and it will be all in a nights work!' she thought about this as she drifted into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning...

Kimiko awoke and screamed, but it was muffled by someone's hand going over her mouth.

"Shhh! Quiet you'll wake everyone up. Now when I let go of your mouth don't scream, okay?"

Kimiko nodded as the hand was removed from her mouth. "Dojo? What are you doing in here so early?" she asked surprised.

"Well, there's a Shen-Gong-Wu alert, but the weird thing is that it's located at the temple. And well you were the first person I thought of coming to."

"Hmm. You wake Omi up and tell him to get ready. I found some close and put them on the table for him, so he doesn't look crazy wearing the Xiaolin robes. I'm going to go get ready and tell Raimundo and Clay where we will be. Dojo, after we get the Shen-Gong-Wu, we aren't coming back to the hotel." she smiled as Dojo got a blank expression on his face. "You, Omi and I will be going over to the mall to find me a dress for tonight. I need a couple people to tell me if it looks good or not. I mean, the one I pick out." Dojo sigh in defeat, but agreed to do what she said.

Kimiko took a shower, got dressed in a black T-shirt with ripped sleeves at the end, an orange vest, beige shorts with many pockets, a wrist band, the same color as the shorts, orange baggy socks, a brownish beige backpack and hiking boots with laces. She had her hair red, tied into a pony tail with an alligator hairclip. (Hairstyle and clothes worn in the episode 'Royal Rumble'.) Then she went over to the small desk in the room with a pen and paper and wrote Clay and Raimundo a note. It said:

Dear Rai and Clay,

Dojo, Omi and I went back to the temple for an active Shen-Gong-Wu, didn't want to wake you. I know, it's weird that one activated their. Anyways, going to the mall afterwards so won't be back until later. Keep yourself occupied until we get back.

-Kimiko

She then folded the paper and slipped it under their door quietly. As she went back into her room she saw Dojo and Omi ready to go. Omi was wearing a black hat, white T-shirt with a jean jacket ontop of it, and some tan baggy pants.

"Aww, Omi you look cute!" she giggled as they ran outside.

When they got in the air Kimiko took out the scroll, which she did not know what in her backpack. "The Shard of the Crystals, allows the holder to turn to unbreakable crystal, and become very light. Hmm, maybe as though another one of us is suppose to pick the crystal one up and fight with him, or me."

"It was an interested Shen-Gong-Wu back in the day." Dojo said while looking forward.

About 30 minutes later with Kimiko, Dojo and Omi...

Master Fung saw Dojo come into the courtyard, and he got confused. 'Kimiko, Omi and Dojo? They are suppose to be on vacation!' he thought to himself.

"Master Fung! Dojo reported to us that there was a Shen-Gong-Wu activate at the temple!"

"The...Shen-Gong-Wu...should b-be that..w-way!" Dojo said between twitches and pointed with his tail to the temple vault.

"Uhh." Kimiko got confused. "The temple vault?"

"Ah I don't know, maybe Dashi and I thought a Wu should already be in the temple vault. It was a long time ago, don't blame me for not remembering!" he called as Omi and Kimiko ran to the vault.

"Omi, where would it be?"

"Hmm. Oh! Kimiko, I think I might know!"

"Where?"

Omi closed his eyes to try and remember just what he was going to say. He thought hard and didn't open his eyes until Kimiko spoke about two minutes later.

"Omi, are you okay?"

"Uhh," The sight infront of Omi's eyes started to spin, as he collasped Kimiko ran over and caught his fall.

"Omi!" for some reason she couldn't stand still. It felt like she kept tripping. The sight infront of Kimiko's eyes then started to spin as well. "Omi..." she trailed off collasping on to the ground, with Omi falling ontop of her.

Haha! Cliff hangers! Once again I shall state that I absolutly love them. The chapter was getting a little long, and that was an excillent cliff hanger. Although now it's going to be quite hard to work my way up to what I have planned. Please review and keep reading:)
