Wind Blows Fire Away

Chapter 7...Time's Running Out

"They have been in the vault quite a long time. Dojo, go see what they are doing."

"Alright, I'm going, I'm going!" As Dojo went into the vault he saw Omi on the ground, it looked like he was laying ontop of something. Dojo turned his head sideways and saw Kimiko. "Oh no..." his eyes opened in horror as he got closer.

With Raimundo and Clay...

Raimundo got up lazily and looked in Clay's direction. He wasn't there, but he did see a piece of paper and decided to read it. 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

Then he read something on the bottom of the page:

Raimundo,

Kimiko Dojo and Omi have been gone quite a while, come talk when you read this. I'm in the dinning area in the hotel.

-Clay

'Dang what is up with people and notes. Why not just wake me up? I always seem to get left out.' He sigh as he got dressed and walked lazily down the stairs. He saw someone down the hall that was dressed in black, but had flaming redish hair. Jack Spicer. Raimundo ran over to him and Jack turned sreaming.

"What are you doing here?" they both asked at once. "Me? What about you?" they again both asked together. Raimundo saw that Jack was getting a nervous look in his eyes.

"Well?" Raimundo asked him.

"My hotel room is down the hall. You?"

"My hotel room is up the stairs," he said point back. Raimundo glared at Jack as he kept walking on. Jack then shrugged and followed Raimundo downstairs. Freezing when he heard Clay's voice.

"Rai, aren't you worried a bit. They have been gone for over two hours now. And that's only how long I've been awake!"

Jack held his breathe as Raimundo glanced back at where he entered the room. "They're at the temple Clay. What could happen?"

"That's what I thought Rai, but it just seems like something did. You're Kimiko's boyfriend, I don't have any relationships and I'm still more worried then you."

"Alright fine, it does worry me a little, but Master Fung is their, Dojo..." he trailed off, then started talking again. "Dojo well, he can get them out of there quickly if needed. And Omi and Kimiko are good fighters. You shouldn't be so worried!" He grabbed a donut as Clay sigh.

"Guess you're right."

"I know I am."

"You're so full of yourself."

"You sound like Kimiko."

"I thought you liked her?"

"I do, but I don't like you. Not in the same way as her anyways." Clay made a face and Raimundo stuck out his tongue.

Jack decided to go out for breakfast instead. He smiled wickedly to himself as he put his hand in his pocket. He felt a smooth round, like a mirror, object. 'The Shard of Crystals, mine, and Raimundo, Clay, Master Fung, and Dojo don't know anything about what happened to Kimiko and Omi. They were so easy to fool. All you need to do is put a little something in Dojo's food, and use the Shrowd of Shadows for predection. No one ever suspects a thing!' He chuckled to himself as he walked out of the hotel and down the street to a place called 'Pim's Pancakes'.

With Dojo, Master Fung, Kimiko and Omi...

"Master Fung! We have two very big problems!" Dojo moved at quickly as he could to where he left Master Fung.

"What is it Dojo?"

"Kimiko and Omi passed out, and the Shard of Crystals is gone!"

Master Fung let Dojo get half way on his arm before he took off toward the vault. There he saw Kimiko and Omi on top of her. (for all you people who are thinking the wrong way, no it's not like that. since she collasped while holding Omi up, Omi lost support and fell, so don't take it the wrong way :)

Both Master Fung and Dojo sigh in relief when the saw one of the two starting to stir. Master Fung walked over with Dojo now fully on his arm. It seemed to be Kimiko. "Kimiko?" Dojo asked catiously. Master Fung got Omi up and then helped Kimiko.

"Whoa, what happened? One second I saw Omi collasping the next minute everything turned black." Master Fung came over and took her hand. She flinched when he touched it. He then examined it without picking it up. "Wha-what's wrong with it?" she asked sounding as though she was going to cry. Dojo suspected because she found then, that it hurt quite bad.

"It doesn't seem broken, sprained or fractured. I'm sure you just leaned on it too much when you collasped. Keeping it in the same position for a long time must have numbed or hurt it."

"Kid, it'll be okay. Nothing is wrong with it, just probably needs a little bit if time is all." Dojo tried to make Kimiko feel better. He succeded in making her smiled though her eyes filled with tears.

"Am I the first to wake up from whatever knocked us out?" she asked dazed.

"Yes."

"Do you remember anything?" Dojo said crawing onto Kimiko's shoulder.

"The last thing I remember is collasping, but I did catch the slightest glimpse of red and black," she thought hard, while Omi started to stir.

"Omi! Kid!" Dojo called from Kimiko's shoulder, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Omi, you know what happened?" Kimiko went over to where Master Fung was supporting the younger monk.

"Uhh, I remember knowing where the Shen-Gong-Wu was, but then I felt moost dreadful, then the last I remember after landing on the ground, is a glimps of a little red and a lot of black."

"Which means, that can only add up to one thing." Master Fung said suspicously.

"Jack Spicer..." they all said in unison.

With Raimundo and Clay...

Raimundo quickly picked up the phone, "Hello?" he hoped it was Kimiko's cell phone.

"Phone call for Mr. Pedrosa, line two."

"Okay, uhh thanks," he put down the phone, picked it back up and pressed line two. "Hello?"

"Rai!"

"Kimiko, where are you guys!" at the time Clay came over.

"We uh, we've been looking for the Wu."

"Kim, what's wrong?" he heard her try to hide the sound of her crying quietly into the phone.

"Huh? Oh nothing, I'll be fine, well we're on our way back now. We should be stopping by the mall we quick though."

Raimundo began to get worried at the tone in Kimiko's voice but said, "Okay, I guess Clay and I will see you in a bit?"

"Yeah."

"Bye!"

"Bye," Raimundo hung up the phone looking slightly confused. 'Why would Kimiko keep something from me? Is it really because she doesn't trust me? No, stop, Kimiko trusts you, just give her a chance. Jeez Rai, just lay off. Trust her that she trusts you!'

"Rai?"

"Huh? Oh uhh yeah. What?"

"You okay? You look-"

"I'm fine. They're just stopping for their little mall trip and then coming back." Raimundo sigh, Kimiko would be coming back with a dress, and that tomorrow she would probably be in the most beautiful thing in the world. "Uhh well, we've kind of waited long enough, you want to go out and get something to eat?"

"Sure, but where?"

"Hmm, I know somewhere we can go, come on!" They ran out of the hotel room and walked down the hall, then set out to find a good place to eat.

With Kimiko, Omi, Master Fung and Dojo...

Omi, Kimiko and Dojo got ready to leave. "You should all be alright, just go back and enjoy your vacation. We will worry about the Shen-Gong-Wu and Jack Spicer problem after you get back."

"Yes Master Fung," Omi and Kimiko said staring at the ground. They couldn't believe they let their guard down enough for Jack Spicer to knock them out some how.

Dojo supersized and said, "Okay, off to the closest mall to where we are staying in Brazil!" They all nodded and bowed to eachother. Then Kimiko and Omi climbed onto Dojo's back and they started to fly.

"Bye Master Fung!" Kimiko called.

"We shall see you when we get back!" Omi called just ask Kimiko did. As they flew they talked about what had happened for the longest time. They didn't know how much time went by until they got to the mall. As they went onto the mall ground Dojo got smaller and climbed into Kimiko's backpack with his head poking out.

Omi walked behind Kimiko dazed at all the 'pretty' girls and sights to see. He would occationally stop and ask Kimiko what things were, and she was laugh and try to explain. As they wondered the mall for a place to find a dress, Dojo poked his head out of the backpack and yawned.

"How much longer this going to take?"

"Dojo! We haven't even found the store yet," Kimiko giggled as Dojo moaned.

"Dojo, how can you not be fansinated by all these wonderous things?"

"Kid, you've never tried to stay curled up in a backpack with make up and electronics for two hours."

"We have been here for two whole hours!" Omi clamped both his hands over his mouth.

"Relax Omi, we've only been here for about 30minutes. That's just Dojo complaining."

"Oh, I see," he laughed.

"There it is!" Kimiko squealed and pointed to a store. Then she grabbed Omi by the hand and started to run.

"Oh I think I'm going to be sick!" Dojo mumbled into the backpack so Kimiko and Omi wouldn't here.

After another 30minutes of trying dresses on and seeing if she, Omi and Dojo all agreed on one she found the perfect one. It was a fully light blue with no sleeves or straps. It went down over her shoes, but the dress looked as though someone took some of it close to the bottom and brought it up to the waist and pinned it there. Because the bottom had silver lining, there was silver lining leading down the the bottom of the dress to the front. It was only in that spot that they could see the shoes she would wear, it was sort of like a small triangle at the bottom just enough to see, and so she didn't trip over it. The dress was made of a smooth silk, and with it there was a small, but wide strip that came with it, to hang down on her arms (like Sam's dress). Her shoes were silver, the heel was thin and there were two straps so slip your foot into, but there was a strap coming off of the strap closest to her toes, that went up and over the second one and made a circle, so her ankle went through it. All the straps were coated in some sort of diamand. She wore a silver heart locket that said 'Kimiko Tohomiko' in the middle of it, and had a picture of her, Raimundo, Dojo, Master Fung, Omi and Clay in it. Her earings were silver hoops with two light blue beads and a heart in the middle. Then she would have a braclet Raimundo gave her on and a sapphire blue diamand one. Her hair would be down and she would have a tiarra with it. She had a small baby blue purse with a strap just big enough for once again a cell phone and make up.

Dojo and Omi's mouths dropped open.

"Whoa, Kimiko, you look-"

"Moost wonderful!" Omi cut in.

"Yeah!"

Kimiko blushed and said, "Thanks guys. So I take it this is the right dress?"

"Yeah!" Dojo and Omi said together.

"Alright, well I guess I'll go pay and we can go back to the hotel."

"Cool!"

Everything that Kimiko bought added up to $600, but she ended up having a little extra money. When they got back to the hotel they explained to Raimundo and Clay what happened and then ate dinner.

Just as everyone else was going to bed Kimiko and Raimundo took a little walk in the halls. As they turned a corner they saw Jack and Wuya.

"Jack!" Raimundo just about screamed it. "You are going to pay for what you did to Kimiko and Omi!"

Well there's the chapter. It was quite hard to write, I needed ideas. But I hope you liked it and I'll try and update faster. Please review and keep reading, next chapter is the dance. And I'm pretty sure theres a big twist to it :) Tell me what you think! The descriptions of the dresses were quite hard and I put some effort into doing it, although it may not look the same to you, but when I pictured the dresses they were really pretty.
