Wind Blows Fire Away

Chapter 8...Three Hearts Shattered

"Sam just pulled him into a kiss, and he couldn't seem to break it.

Just then they heard a gasp."

Raimundo then broke the kiss only to see a heart broken Kimiko running back inside. "Kimiko!" he called after her, and tried to run, but someone grabbed his arm.

"Rai, she's out of the way now. We can be happy together."

"You little snitch, you planned this all along, I'm actually glad I broke up with you! I can't believe you would go this low!"

"It was for you Raimundo!" her voice was still in its sweet charm, just getting louder.

"Well I don't want it! You ruined my chances with Kimiko! I will NEVER forgive you for that! Face it, whoever is hearing this conversation right now, any guy, you don't have a furture with! And that INCLUDES me!" he yelled in her face and tried to run after Kimiko.

Sam as shooken up. She was set back, she had no clue Raimundo would ever do that. After taking a minute to recover she smiled slightly, and her eyes turned sly and small. 'Things are going just as I planned. I'll take Raimundo in, in his time of need and then he will fall for me. Just the same way he did 6 months ago.'

What had happened with Omi...

(some of you wanted to know what happened with Omi soo here we go!)

Maybe Around 3 minutes Earlier...

"Oh this is such a wonderful night!" the girl Omi was dancing with sigh and looked down to see Omi smiling.

He sudden lost position and she stood a little confused as he took out a book. He flipped to a page and said, "Ohh yes! It says that females are the ones who are suppose to comment how the night is and the males are suppose to agree even if they don't think so too."

The girl looked a little shocked, and hurt. "What is that book called?"

"The Ancient Guide to Females..." he trailed off as he saw her anger rising. He was used to knowing when it came because he had seen it with Kimiko before.

"AN ANCIENT GUIDE TO FEMALES?" she then screamed.

"Uhh, it is The-" Omi's voice got smaller.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" she was walking off when she heard someone call to her.

"Wait, please come back, and listen!" Kimiko yelled as Clay backed Omi away from the two girls.

"What? You expect me to dance with a guy that learns about girls from a stupid book?"

"I know, when I first met Omi, I didn't like it either, but he's not really from around here." her voice became a low whisper, "he was an orphan and oddly he didn't grow up with any other kids." Kimiko jerked her head back at Omi. "Give him another chance."

"Well he was cute when he danced, I've never been the taller one." they both giggled as Omi wattled back over.

"I am, sorry." he looked down and then looked back up at her, his eyes full of shame.

He saw a glint of happiness and pity at the same time, in her eyes. "It's okay, I'm sorry too, but you should be happy about having your friend here, she saved our night." she smiled as he perked up.

"Soo, we will continue dancing? Because dancing with you is moost wonderful, because you are very pretty!"

She blushed and said, "Yeah, we will keep dancing." Omi and Kimiko then smiled as Kimiko left the dance floor and headed back outside.

Now in the present time...

Omi stopped dancing for a moment along with the girl. They saw Clay stand up with Dojo on his shoulder. Then they saw Kimiko run by crying her eyes out. Omi ran to Clay, with the girl not to far behind.

"What has happened to Kimiko?"

"I don't know, but here comes Rai. Let's go!" they ran and stopped Raimundo, Clay had grabbed him by the arm.

"Let me go! I need to talk to Kimiko!"

"What happened? She was crying pretty bad."

"Let me go!" he finally broke out of Clay's grasp and ran for it. Omi decided it would be best to wait for a little bit to go after them. So everyone sat down to have something to eat, and wait for one of the two to come back.

Jack still stood in shock at what he saw, he had been looking for Sam and glanced outside, and saw the kiss. He also saw Kimiko run off, and it gave him a huge idea. 'If Raimundo and Kimiko are still friends this could work. Or if Sam just wants to get back together with Raimundo, this could work.' he smiled slightly and walked back inside and sat down at a table to sulk in sorrow of what had happened.

Kimiko burst through the doors of the school and ran out. As she glanced behind her she noticed that it had started to rain, but not just rain, it was a downpour. She slushed on the sidewalk running as fast as she could to get away from Raimundo. She knew if she stopped for a moment he would catch up with her, because she was wearing heels. Her dress was soaked at the bottom, and it clung to her, her hair was drenched, she was freezing, the strip that was hanging from her arms now stuck to her aswell, and she had left her purse at the dance, so she had no cell phone. She couldn't tell if she had stopped crying because the rain had hit her face too much, luckily for her, her make up didn't run.

Raimundo looked around fiercly in the rain, he couldn't see Kimiko anywhere. "Kimiko!" he knew she wouldn't be able to find her way back and he knew she would get sick if she stayed outside. "Where are you Kim!" he yelled. He started to run again. The rain soon began to lift up, and he could finally see more than 2 feet ahead of him. He started to look places that Kimiko could be dry, or that she would go to think, even if it did mean getting wet.

Kimiko sat in a swing, not caring it was soaking wet, because she was already drenched, so she thought, 'What's it matter?' she sigh and looked up at the night sky. The moon shined brightly and the stars light up the night as though they were flashlights, being shined in the distance. Then she saw one move and laughed, "Shooting star Kim, make a wish!" she closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again. 'I think it's time to go back to the dance, I want to go back to the hotel and get a warm again. So she got up and started to walk along, trying to block herself from any breeze.

Raimundo continued to walk around aimlessly. He knew that she had probably gone back to the dance or went back to the hotel. 'She's smart, she probably found her way,' Raimundo thought to himself, but he just kept walking. He was going to for about 10 or 15 minutes more then go back. He soon found himself in the park and sat on a swing. He looked up at the stars and saw one move. He closed his eyes just as Kimiko did and then laughed slightly. "Oh Kim, please be okay, please don't still be out in the cold." Raimundo looked down, he saw himself and he saw the mistakes he had made tonight, and sigh. It was then he noticed something shine in the water. It wasn't light, it was more like an object. Slowly he bent down to pick it up, his wet hair now hazed his vision. As he pulled it out he saw it was a locket. He didn't know whose it was until he flipped it over, then he smiled. It said:

Kimiko Tohomiko

He opened it up and saw a picture of Master Fung, Omi, Clay, Dojo, Kimiko and himself all together and happy. He got up and started to walk back to the party.

When Kimiko got back to the dance, Nick came over to her.

"Hey Kimiko, whoa! What happened to you?" he saw she was all wet and her eyes looked like she had been crying...A lot.

"Long story, don't want to talk about it," she sigh and looked straight into his eyes. It was comforting to know someone was concerned about her.

"Well here, at least take my jacket!" he quickly grabbed his jacket and put it on Kimiko's shoulders. She smiled.

"Thanks."

"Your very welcome. Keep yourself warm. Oh, my date's ready to dance again, and hey..."

She looked up, "Hmm?"

"Have fun the rest of the night."

She smiled again, "Will do," as Nick walked away she got up. "Will do," she decided to go back outside to where Raimundo and here were sitting before Omi had a little incident. She looked at something in a bush right next to the fountain. It looked like a boquet (sorry if that's spelt wrong I'm tired) of roses. She carefuly reached into the wet bush and pulled them out. There were 11 real roses, but the 12th caught her eye. It wasn't real. then she saw a small note and looked shocked. As she read it in silence a single tear fell down her cheek and onto the note. Then she smiled. The note read:

12 roses. 11 real, 1 fake. I'll love you till the last one dies.

-Rai

She looked at the roses once again, but then she replayed the vision inside her head of what she had saw earlier. "If he really does love me. He will prove it, but I can't cave." she said outloud to herself quietly.

Okay, that was chapter 8, boring, but what can I say. I needed to show you what happened quickly. The next chapter Raimundo tries to win Kimiko back, but- ah well just read to find out. Otherwhise I'll get caught up in telling you the whole darn thing. Lol, well keep reading. Thanks to all my reviewers, and keep it up! Tell me what you think.
