Wind Blows Fire Away

...Kimiko was barely holding conscious. Her 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...

Jack desperatly looked around for something to help Kimiko. 'Jack, come on, think! This is why you are called genious! Okay well, maybe you not, but you still do call yourself that. Now prove to at least one person you are!' He held her head and her hand up. He didn't want to lay her head down, just because he had had it up when she 'passed' out, he didn't want to move it, and her hand, so he knew if she went limp or if her hand got extremly cold. Suddenly, the tempurature in the small hand that he held, dropped, and Kimiko's hand went limp.

"No..." Jack trailed off. He was evil, yet again he felt responsible for whatever just happened to Kimiko. He looked at her, getting nervous. "No no, you can't be dead! Please!" He shook her gently, but she was still cold and limp. "No!" he screamed.

With Raimundo, Omi, Dojo and Clay...

Raimundo sigh, as he watched for any sign of Omi, Clay or Dojo to wake up. Still nothing. He had been awake for several hours now, but the others refused to wake up. He finally got discusted and walked over to Clay's bed. He then screamed "GET UP!" in Clay's ear, but to his surprise, Omi was the first awake. Then Clay awoke several seconds after Omi, and then Dojo sleepily woke up around a minute after Clay.

"Cool, we're all up. Now we can go!" Raimundo shot out the door.

"Should we try and tell him to settle down a little bit. He's going to need strength and patience," Clay suggested.

"I believe we should go get him." They all walked out of the room, and heard noises from the dinning area. They saw Raimundo taking out four muffins and throwing them at Clay, Dojo and Omi. He grabbed one for himself and shot through the door once again.

Dojo sigh, "I think it's time we speed this rescue party up!" They all went outside and Dojo supersized. It was time they went to Jack's house.

A little later at Jack's house...

After talking about what they were going to look for and where they were going to look, they finally got to the mansion.

"Let's hurry! We don't want anyone to find us!" Raimundo hopped off of Dojo, while the others followed Dojo shrunk. They snuck to a window and attempted to open it.

"It's stuck!" Clay tried yanking the window open, but it seemed as though either it was locked with more than one lock or it was jammed by something.

"Hmm, Ah ha!" Omi took out the Orb of Tornami. "Orb of Tornami, ice!" a thick whip of ice jolted into the window, shattering it. Dojo slithered around the glass and poked his head inside.

"All clear, let's go!" Raimundo didn't even watch for glass as he practicly tripped through the window and into the basement of Jack's house. For some odd reason he couldn't pick himself up right away. Clay came in and pulled him up, breaking Raimundo from his thoughts.

"Rai, you okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine." He started walking around.

'He sounds pretty out of it!' Clay thought, 'I think Kimiko not being here really is taking a tole on Rai. He's shakier than a dog walking on stilts! Hope he's alright, because we may not be able to find Kimiko right away. Spicer could be stupid enough to leave something around here, or he could actually be smart for once and pick everything about his plans up. If he even had a plan, maybe it was just a spur of the moment thing. That no good varmit!' Clay's anger began to fill, but he calmed himself down by saying to himself, 'Kimiko is going to be okay when we find her, which will be soon!' Clay was broken away from his thoughts when he heard a fist pound on the table with a world map on it.

"I don't get it! Where is she!" it wasn't much of a question, just a statement, and Omi, Dojo and Clay all thought he wasn't even talking to them. Raimundo started to get angry, so he started to tear up the lair while the others watched. They didn't really care about Jack's lair because he took Kimiko, so instead of watching, they help Raimundo.

Papers, maps, pencils, robot parts, incomplete robots, and food were flying everywhere. No one could find anything. Raimundo came to one last part of the room, and looked around. It was by the staircase upstairs, finally he got an idea. He motioned for the others to follow him quietly. When they got up the staircase, they saw into the huge kitchen. It was one that looked like it was off of a cooking show, so they all figured Jack's mother loved to cook and bake. Infact, they saw her in there making cookies, so she didn't notice them. There was no sign of his father, so they crept up the next staircase, hoping no one would be right there. They held their breathe as they turned around the corner.

There in the middle of the hallway was a...puppy. He had a red bow around his neck and a little tag on it. Everyone breathed again, and Clay went over to the puppy. It licked him as he tried to look at the tag on the bow.

"It says:

To: Jack

From: Your Loving Mother,

"I can't believe it. Spicer's mother got him a puppy, and he's not even here!" Clay read the tag and shook his head in discust. Raimundo went over and picked up the happy puppy.

They followed Raimundo into a plain room with a computer at the other end of it, a bed, some sort of a closet, and a whole lot of pictures on the walls. They walked around carefully, because to there surprise, it was quite clean. Raimundo put the puppy down and it followed him throughout the room. No one could find anything just lying around, which was another surprise, knowing Jack was an idiot, so they decided to tear the room apart. Raimundo went and sat at the computer. He trashed every file that didn't have any importance to him at all. Then he looked all around the desk and made the drawers almost fly out of the desk by pulling them out. He looked and dug through everyone of them, but still no go. There was just one part of the room they hadn't looking at. Just the one drawer in the nightstand by Jack's bed. They all looked at it, then looked at eachother, then all of them scrambled over to it. Carefully, Raimundo inched the drawer opened and all of their mouths dropped open.

With Kimiko and Jack...

Jack sat quietly by Kimiko's side. He had stopped panicing and had been smart enough to check her heartbeat. Unfortunatly, it would sometimes go quite fast, then it would slow down a ton, but she was still breathing. He sigh and stroked her long black hair. He lifted his hand and made it into a fist. He was evil, he didn't like Kimiko at all. 'You idiot, get away from her. Don't get attached.' He now knew she was breathing so he got up and went out of the room to work on new robots.

Kimiko's eyes opened ever so slowly, as she looked around the fuzzy room. She knew it wasn't really fuzzy, but her eyes hadn't focused themselves yet. She sigh quietly, knowing that there was no way she could get out with the vision and feeling she had. The thought of what Jack had said to her, made her so confused, and so scared that Raimundo wouldn't want her, Kimiko Tohomiko, she passed out, her body shut down. She was now mad, Raimundo wasn't coming around. That twit must have lied to her! Her still fuzzy vision got swirled as she started to cry. She could feel just a single tear roll down her cheek. She didn't know what to do, so she again sigh quietly and went to sleep.

Kimiko was running down the hallway. She didn't know where she was going, but she did know who she was trying to get to. It was her papa. He was the only one at the time that she felt safe with, she was running down the hallways of Tohomiko Electronics. When she finally reached her fathers office, she saw Raimundo with her father. There was a girl next to him, but it wasn't Kimiko. It was Sam. They must not have heard Kimiko come in, because everyone ignored her until she screamed in horror. She started to cry and Raimundo went to hug her. She saw his arms spread out as he moved quickly toward her, out of reflex her arms flung out as well, and she closed her eyes waiting, but she never felt Raimundo's touch. She opened her eyes again, and saw she was at home. Standing in the doorway. She walked slowly into the kitchen to see her papa drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. She tilted her head, and he looked up at her.

"KIMIKO! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING! YOU WEREN'T RAISED THIS WAY!" he yelled at her, and it took her back.

"Papa, what's going on? I didn't do anything," she said quietly. Her father stood up and held the newspaper in Kimiko's face. She saw what it said:

Kimiko Tohomiko was found guilty of murder. Samantha Rose age 16, is still in shock of her fiancé dead. Raimundo Pedrosa, the age of 17, dead. Tohomiko used a simple bow and arrow, as she learned how to use them when she was 14. His family and friends are still devistated, and some are even surprised. Kimiko Tohomiko used to be a friend of Raimundo's, but unfortunatly, something must have happened to prevail such a terrible insident. Kimiko only being 16 said she did not do it, but all evidence says she is guilty. She is now under house lockdown to say good-bye to her only family, Toshiro Tohomiko, her father. He owns the biggest toy company in Asia, and does not understand why his daughter was put on such a rampage. "Kimiko was raised well, and she always loved her friends, but I just do not understand what happened! Besides her little friend Kieko, Raimundo Pedrosa was her best friend!" he exclaimed. Kimiko's case has been sealed, but we cannot at this time reveal how long she will be put in her rightful place, of jail.

Kimiko gaped at the newspaper. Her father waited for her to say something, because he didn't want to believe she was the one to kill Raimundo. She tried to open her mouth to say something, but no words came out. She closed her eyes and started to cry, but when she opened them back up, she was at the temple.

She stood in the doorway facing outside to the training grounds, watching Omi and Clay practicing with Shen-Gong-Wu. Master Fung and Dojo were watching there every move, looking for mistakes. When they saw her, they all stopped. Master Fung and Dojo shook their heads slighty, Omi's head dropped and Clay just stared at her with sorrow-filled eyes. Tears again filled Kimiko's eyes, and she looked away. She heard footsteps coming towards her and looks up to meet the eyes of Omi. She knew from his expression he was hurt and confused.

"Kimiko, how could you? You was the first girl I ever met! You always looked after me, even if Raimundo and Clay played pranks on me. How could you do this? Kimiko, you were always sweet, but then you went and murdered the one person you were the closest to here in China." He then looked away from the girl he thought he knew.

"Omi..." she trailed off, again looking away. She closed her eyes tightly, and turned around.

Kimiko then bolted upright in the bed, wide awake. When her mind started to regain focus, her thoughts drifted to Raimundo. Memories started to flash into her mind. She smiled at some and felt torn at others.

"Raimundo..." she said sadly, trying to hold back tears. What if he didn't want her back? What if what Jack said was true? Her eyes were filling with tears, but not ones of sadness, but ones of anger. She was sick of waiting, sick of people telling her that Raimundo didn't want her. She was sick of every waking moment thinking the same thing, and even now, when she sleeps, nightmares about something happening to Raimundo, because of her. Kimiko's vision was back to normal, so she got up and looked around the room. There was nothing there that would tell her where she was, so she decided to go look at what was outside the room. When the door opened she locked eyes with the person she wanted answers from. Jack.

With Omi, Dojo, Clay and Raimundo...

...There was just one part of the room they hadn't looked at. Just the one drawer in the nightstand by Jack's bed. They all looked at it, then at eachother, then scambled over to it. Carefully, Raimundo inched the drawer open, and all of their mouths dropped open.

There inside the drawer was a map and a note. The note said:

Dear Xiaolin Losers,

Here is a world map, it could be of some use to you, and maybe it couldn't. I won't waist all your time writing down all the details and instructions of the map, so I'll just let you figure it out by yourself.

Have fun!

-Jack Spicer, evil boy genious

The world map had places circled in red, but there wasn't a key, or legend or anything that could help them figure it out.

"He...He planned this!" Raimundo yelled, making the others back away. They all knew that Raimundo's anger was bubbling over the limit.

"Raimundo," Omi put a hand on his shoulder, "Jack Spicer is dumb person and we shall find a hole in the loop of his plans. We shall find Kimiko!"

Raimundo smiled, his anger was now going down quickly, "Thanks Omi. And I think you mean 'loop hole'."

"That too!" Omi put up a finger and smiled widely.

"Okay, now let's go back to Brazil, and see if we can figure out this map!" Raimundo walked out of the room,and everyone else followed with the map at hand. As they went downstairs they saw Jack's mother still in the kitchen baking, just something different. Everyone passed just like the first time and just about made it to the staircase, when they heard footsteps going toward the kitchen archway, which meant that she would see them if they didn't hurry. Unfortunatly, in their hurry, Omi ran into a vase and knocked it over, so Jack's mother came running out. Everyone was downstairs besides Omi, because he was still dazed from running into the vase.

"Who are you! And what are you doing in my house!" his mother had a broom at hand.

"I uhh...I am Jack Spicer's friend! Yes that is it! Friend!"

"Well, what are you doing here!"

"Jack told me to come and check to see if he was here, and if he was not, then I should leave. Since he is not here, I shall be going. He also told me to leave through the basement. ItwasverynicemeetingyoubutIshouldbegoing!" He sped downstairs leaving Mrs. Spicer very confused. She shrugged it off, got a dustpan and started sweeping up the shattered vase.

After they all scrambled out of the window, Dojo supersized and took off with the others on his back. When they were in the air they finally took a better look at the map.

"What in tarnations are the red and blue circles for?" Clay said as he scratched his head.

Omi was silent, confused, but Raimundo was deep in thought, a million miles away. Dojo was talking to Clay about what it could be until finally Clay stopped to look at Omi. Omi's head was tilted and he was waving a hand infront of Raimundo's face.

"Raimundo!" Omi screamed in his ear.

"Huh? What?" he shook his head a little breaking his stare with the ground far below.

"Raimundo, you were one hundred feet away! What is down?"

"I think you mean 'a million miles away'-" Raimundo said.

"How about 'what's up?' instead Omi," Clay smiled at Omi's expression.

"Raimundo that makes no sense! A million miles away, we could not see you at all." Raimundo gave a small laugh at what Omi said then went back into deep thought. Omi started waving a hand infront of his face again, until Clay took hold of his wrist. Omi looked up.

"Just let him think Little Partner, maybe he's onto something," Clay said with his same smile as usual.

Just as they were getting into Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (Raimundo's hometown if anyone doesn't know) Raimundo thought of something. He quickly grabbed the map, and everyone looked at him.

He skimmed the map then looked up. "We've been here before. New York, looking for the Serpants Tail." He pointed to one of the circles, and inside was sure enough, New York.

Raimundo, Omi and Clay started looking at the others too. "Tokyo, for the Zing Zom-Bone!" Omi pointed to The small circle of Tokyo, Japan.

"The Mantis Flip Coin in San Fransisco, California!" Clay pointed to a circle to the left of the map. They all pointed out places they had been for the Shen-Gong-Wu. All remembering as memories flooded their minds, they hadn't missed anything even up to the Moonstone Chain. When they got back to the hotel, they all hurried to Raimundo and Clay's room. Picking up a pen, Raimundo crossed off all the places that they had been to, going over it again.

"There is a pattern going on here!" Everyone looked at Omi with a confused expression.

"Care to explain?" Dojo asked.

"You see my friends, Jack Spicer has circled all the places all of the places Shen-Gong-Wu have been!" they all looked at the map, but saw one mistake in Omi's thery.
