Wind Blows Fire Away

Chapter 13...Trying to Figure Things Out

..."Three, Two, On," Dojo snapped his fingers just as the door flew open.

Okay guys look, I'm sorry for the way I have been acting, but look!" he flung the note at the three of them and said, "Kimiko's gone!" Omi's eyes widened, Clay's jaw dropped and Dojo fell over. No one was expecting what the note said...

"I can't believe that no good varmit would do such a thing!"

"I can! I mean come on Clay. This is JACK SPICER we're talking about here. He'll do anything to try and be evil, and kidnap Kim for a second time is a great way to prove it!" Raimundo grabbed the note from Omi's hand and read it over again:

Dear Xiaolin Losers,

Kimiko has been a dear and came with me back to my super secret hiding spot. Which none of you will be able to find! Muhahaha! (my written evil laugh) Anyways, she will be able to come back if you hand over EVERY Shen-Gong-Wu you have! And I have a list so I know if your lying. I'll gladly take your Shen-Gong-Wu when the next activates!

See ya later Losers!

Jack Spicer, Evil Boy Genious

Raimundo shook his head disgust. 'Kim, I never got to tell you I'm sorry. I will find you and tell you, and I'll make sure that Scum Spicer pays for taking you.' Raimundo looked at his other friends, and saw they were just at anxious to find Kimiko as he was. "Omi, you got any idea where to look?"

"Hmm, I believe, I do not," he looked down at the floor and muttered, "I have failed my friends, and most importantly Kimiko."

"I have an idea!" Everyone looked at Dojo. "How about we train a dog."

"A dog?" Raimundo looked at him unimpressed.

"I talking, a very talented dog. We train it to sniff people out depending on what it smells. Then we give something of Jack Spicer's to it, and let the dog lead us to him."

"As great as that sounds Dojo, how 'bout we wait until the next Shen-Gong-Wu activates, then follow Jack back to wherever he is."

"Great Clay! Sorry Dojo, the dog thing isn't going to work," Dojo sigh and Raimundo chuckled. "What do we do while we wait?"

"I guess, enjoy the vacation?" Omi shrugged.

"I guess." Raimundo sigh and said, "But how, we know our friend is missing, and, and we can't do a thing until a Wu activates!" Raimundo pounded his fists on the table which made the cards move, some falling off the table.

"Having a fit won't help Raimundo," Clay said calmly as he put a hand on Raimundo's shoulder.

"I know, but what else is there to do to let the anger out?"

"Wait for Jack!" Dojo smirked as the others glared playfully.

Sometime later...

Everyone had skipped eating lunch, but they all knew they couldn't skip dinner too. They would need strength to find Kimiko, although Jack Spicer wasn't much of a threat. It was around 6:45, so they all went out, instead of eating at the hotel again. As they walked around town they met up with Katie and Nick.

"Hey guys, uhh why the long faces?" Nick was slightly confused, and Katie was trying to think of what was wrong with her boyfriend's friends.

"Kim's missing," Raimundo sigh loudly, and looked down.

"Who kidnapped her!" Katie almost screamed. She knew Kimiko, and she understood that Sam didn't like her because she had Raimundo, but Katie didn't think that she was that bad. She sort of liked her from what she saw anyways.

"Jack Spicer!" Omi twitched as he finished the name. It sounded like he was trying to hold back slight tears.

"Oh that's terrible!" Katie went over and hugged Omi, and he smiled a little. "You know where you can find her?"

"Not yet, we need to wait for another Shen-Gong-Wu to activate before we can follow Jack back to Kimiko." Clay put a hand on Raimundo's shouldnt and sigh.

"Well look on the bright side!" he said cheerily as everyone looked up at him. "Least Rai and Kim made up before she went missing." He smiled, but then stopped when everyone looked at Raimundo, and Raimundo was looking at the ground. "Aww man, you didn't did you?"

Raimundo understood why Nick had made this joke. He always tried to help lighten things up and Raimundo respected that, as he started doing the same thing. He wasn't mad at this, yet it didn't help at all. Just made it worse. "No. We didn't, but, we will once we find her!"

"Are you guys looking for a place to eat?" Katie asked sweetly to try and change the subject.

"Yeah!" Dojo called from Omi's head.

"Great! Go to that resterant right there!" she pointed to a little place on a corner that by the looks of it, was a meat place.

"But, but! I am a vegitarian!" Omi pouted when he knew that's where they were going.

"Don't worry Omi, so am I! There are a lot of good things to eat here, even for vegitarians like us!" Katie smiled as she started to run inside with Omi by her side.

"Dude, Rai, It'll be okay!" Nick assured his best friend that Kimiko would be fine. "You'll find her. Infact, I'll come help you look if you want." He smiled and began to walk toward the resturant. Raimundo sigh and followed quietly. He barly ate anything, and the others didn't dare enclude him in a conversation.

"Oh well guys, I have to go! Have fun, and good luck finding Kimiko!" Katie got up and kissed Nick on the cheek.

"Bye Katie!" they all called together. Strangely Raimundo got up and followed her out. They decided then that they needed to follow him.

"Rai?" Clay yawned.

"I just got an idea. Who knows what Spicer could do to Kimiko by the time another wu activates. We need to find a way to get her back now. I say we go to his house and see if they're are any clues there."

"Good idea kid!" Dojo called, getting reading to super-size. Then he yawned, "But can it wait until morning?"

Raimundo locked eyes with all of them, and nodded his head slightly in defeat. As they started back to the hotel something caught their eye. Wuya was floating around in circles looking very annoyed.

"Wuya?" Dojo laughed.

"Argh! What?"

"What are you doing?" Raimundo said trying to hold back his laugh.

"I'm trying to find out where Jack is you baffoons!" She said stopping and looked at all of them. "What?"

Everyone was glaring at her besides Raimundo. Instead he was looked at the ground, as if he were trying to hold back tears.

With (finally) Kimiko and Jack...

Kimiko awoke suddenly. Her head hurt like crazy in one particular spot. She thought it must have been a sharp blow. She tried to stand up and walk but tripped. Her feet were chained to a wall. 'I wonder how long I was out.' Just as she thought this a door opened. There stood Jack Spicer with a surpised expression on his face.

"You were suppose to be out for a another good three hours!"

"How long have I been out, and what am I doing here!"

"You been out for about six to seven hours and I kidnaped you. Duh!"

"Let me go you idiot!" She again stepped forward and tripped, because of her head, she hadn't been thinking straight.

"No, no no! You can't move, and that's exactly the way I want it." He smirked as Kimiko glared.

"Why?"

"It's a long story I wouldn't want to bore you with all the dragging details!"

"Tell me anyways!" she demanded.

He sigh and shook his head, as if he pitied her a lot. "Raimundo's old girlfriend..." He chuckled. "You might know her, Sam. She and I went to the dance together. Then she went and kissed Raimundo! Again, as you saw. Then I thought up a plan to kidnap you to get back at Raimundo, and the best part is, they have absolutly no clue where you are!"

Kimiko looked down. Tears started to build up in her sapphire eyes.

"And Kimiko." Jack said in a soothing voice, for a moment like this anyways. She looked up. "Raimundo, is NEVER going to come find you. He would have broken that kiss if he cared about you enough."

The tears poured out of Kimiko's eyes, "No! You're lying!" She shook her head and looked down again.

"No, I'm not Kimiko. YOU yourself know that he could have broken that kiss. He still loves Sam, and he will be heartbroken, because Sam will be with me. There will be nothing you could do, because he only wants one girl! Just one Kimiko. And it's NOT you!" He knew his words inpacted her deeply. Kimiko's heart felt like someone hit it as hard as they could with a hammer and then walking away. She attempted to breathe deeply, but to her surprise, she couldn't.

'Kim! You aren't breathing, BREATH!' her mind was telling her to breath, but she kept failing.

"Kimiko?"

"J-Ja-Jac-Jack...H-he-hel-help!" she gasped. Jack's eyes widen, and he ran over to where he had chained her. He quickly found the key and unlocked the chain, catching her as she fell. She needed help, but he didn't know what to do.

Kimiko's vision started to spin, and the once clear image of Jack smirking infront of her faded into just a glimps of red-flaming hair and the ceiling. Her vision got duller and duller.

Jack picked Kimiko up bridal style and ran into the room he picked out for himself at this hide-out. He put her down on the bed and got some water. Then he lifted her head and let her drink. It went slowly, but at least he knew she was attempting to drink it.

Kimiko was barely holding conscious. He vision would turn black then light up again. Her mind would shut down, then start back up. She had no clue what was wrong with her, but she did know Jack was trying to help her. Which meant she had to help Jack. Her vision once again turned black. She expected it to turn light again in a matter of minutes, but it didn't.

With Raimundo, Clay, Omi and Dojo...

Omi didn't want to stay in a room alone so he decided to stay in Clay and Raimundo's room along with Dojo. They talked for a bit and then went to sleep. It was still early, but they needed all the rest they could get in order to get Kimiko. Raimundo was thinking of some ways to stop Jack, some places she and him could be, or what they would find at Jack's house.
