Wind Blows Fire Away
Chapter 20...Answers and New Questions
..."Jack." Kimiko broke Jack away from his thoughts when she spoke in a shaky tone, "Truth or Lie...Will this gas kill Raimundo?"
Jack looked straight into the glazed, sapphire eyes. "Yes. There's no way around it. No way to treat it, and no way he could live through it. It would take a miricle."
Kimiko's eyes widened and she started to break down, and dreaded the answer of the balloon. She was hoping that Jack was playing a trick on her, or trying to scare her or make her break down (he was doing a pretty good job if he was)...but the hope was little to none.
With Clay, Omi, Dojo and unconsious (sp) Raimundo...
Omi was going through another sneezing attack, Dojo was setting up another game of go fish, and Clay was trying to find Kimiko (uh-oh Kimiko! You in trouble if he can't find you!)
"Hey guys, you know where Kimiko is? Been lookin' all over, can't seem to find her!"
"I have no seen her Clay, perhaps she is in with Raimundo?" he said after his last sneeze.
"Mm, never thought about that. Don't think I should go in there though."
"Ah well, thinking about what happened to her last night, I think you should." Dojo said, he hadn't really been paying attention to what he said. But then it struck him...He looked up to see the others already staring at him in horror. Soon they all scrambled into Kimiko and Raimundo's room yelling 'Kimiko! Kimiko!'
As soon as they got in there, they all stopped. Kimiko wasn't by the bed, or anywhere else in the room, and the bathroom door was opened revealing only Kimiko's brush on the counter, sitting on a plastic bag. (Obviously didn't wanna get contaminated by Jack's sink :P)
"Where is she?" Clay asked.
Omi was in deep thought as the other two made up suggestions. "Check and see if all of our wu are still here!" the sudden, loud noise from Omi's mouth made the other two jump, but they checked the bag with all the wu inside, except for what Raimundo brought to fight Jack.
"The Shrowd of Shadows! The Ruby of Ramsees and the Golden Tiger Claws! They are all gone! Omi gasped. The other two stared as Omi dug in the bag. He pulled out a note. It read:
Hey guys,
Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon
-Kimiko
Everyone stared at the letter, confused and Omi's anger bubbled. "She-she-she...LEFT WITHOUT TELLING US? HOW COULD SHE DO THIS? SHE- SHE WAS SICKENED LIKE ME, I THOUGHT! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!"
Omi didn't sound like himself, he was so unlike himself at that very moment, it almost scared Dojo and Clay. Dojo, having known Omi all of the monks life, never saw him this angry.
"Omi, settle down. She will probably be back soon."
Omi didn't mean to sound mad at Kimiko, he was just very worried that she went after Jack to find answers. He was afraid...her feelings were stong enough toward Raimundo, that if she got a bad answer, she could go and do something, she would regret in the furture...although...she wouldn't be here to regret it...
With Kimiko and Jack...
...Kimiko's eyes widened and she started to break down, and dreaded the answer of the balloon. She was hoping that Jack was playing a trick on her, or trying to scare her or make her break down...but the hope was little to none...
As the balloon turned, Jack took one glimpse at Kimiko's eyes, but then couldn't keep the gaze steady. He felt so terrible. He had been on the good side, time after time before. He had even been litterally good at one point as well, but unfortunatly now, it felt like he could never even think of a good thing to do...again. He never meant to ruin things for people. And now he hoped, his gas didn't work, but unfortunatly once again, it would need a miricle.
Kimiko stood in horror as she saw the truth symbal (wow, that's a big suprise!). She collapsed onto her butt, with her feet on each side of her. (You know when like you sit on your feet, but then they both slide out from under your butt and sit right next to you, some people can't sit like that very well, soo sorry if you can't get the picture.) She burried her face into her hands and started bawling non stop.
Jack sigh, and jumped off of the balloon. Thinking Kimiko had had enough, he decided to end the showdown. As the scenery changed back to normal, Kimiko sat in the middle of the basketball court with the shrowd of shadows, ruby of ramsees and the mantis flip coin. Jack walked over to her and kneeled down, putting a hand on one of her shoulders. She looked up, still having trouble breathing through the sobs. She only looked for a split second, then threw herself at Jack and embraced him in a hug, crying on his shoulder. He was stunned for a moment, but then hugged her back.
Jack and Kimiko stayed like that until Kimiko calmed down (a little, but how would you feel if you knew your boyfriend was going to die and you could do nothing about it?) Jack heaved her off the ground, and she wiped the tears away on her white sleeve. She smiled at Jack and started to run. She ran quite a bit faster than Jack, but Jack used his propellers (sp) to speed up. She went into an ally and found a sharp piece of medal. By the time Jack got there, Kimiko was about to do something horrible...something that Jack wouldn't be able to bare...
"Jack, say good-bye to Clay, Omi, Dojo and Master Fung for me. Tell them to say good-bye to my father for me, and Kieko too. And...And make sure, someone tells Raimundo, even if he can't hear...That I love him, and he will be with me soon enough..." Her eyes filled with tears as she picked up the medal and moved it closer to her neck...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Inside Raimundo's mind, he knew he was in a nightmare, as things that were happening to him, obviously couldn't happen in real life, but he couldn't wake up. He was running down a hallway, it looked sort of like the Tohomiko Electronics. But...Wuya and Jack were chasing after him. Wuya was in her human form, crackling her old hag voice as she closed the space between herself and Raimundo quickly. Jack panted, swelling the space between himself and Wuya. He had been laughing, but stopped when he was getting very tired. Suddenly, Raimundo had a strange sensation. Even if he wasn't really wherever he was, he could feel something for Kimiko. She was in trouble. He needed to reach her! She was going to do something she was going to regret, he just knew it. He stopped, but Wuya kept going. Jack stopped next to Raimundo with a puzzled look on his face.
"Jack! I know that if I talk to you, as though this isn't a dream, my voice will echo inside your actual head! Stop Kimiko, tell her that we will get through this together. Even if it's not true, reassure her, make sure she doesn't do what she's going to now! Please Jack, I'm begging you!" he screamed, hearing Wuya returning from around the corner. She was laughing now, and Raimundo had to start running again, but he did notice that Jack disappeared from his dream.

Words...Words coming from a voice...A voice...A voice that was not his...

OMG PEOPLE...LONGEST CHAPTER I'VE EVER WRITTEN, WOOTZ! If my eyes do not decive me, it looks like its over 5000 words. Wow! Sorry that took so long to update, but holy crap you got enough to read! LOL...the cliff hangers, and what happened in this chapter is good. Oh I just found something...I added another chapter with it, so cut that down about 3000. Oh man, i feel disappointed now. Sorry, that was an idiot move of me. Well anyways, what will happen to everyone. The story is changing quick! My first review if you look back said...let me guess, they will go to Rio and Raimundo will have mixed feelings about Sam...I like it but i suggest you put some twists in there or it will be pretty predictable...well, I'm glad to see for myself it ain't like that anymore. And to think, this all started as a nice vacation to Rio...how very funny :P anyways, thanks soo much for reviewing and reading last chapter, please do so again! thanks soo very much everyone of my readers / reviewers! Tell me what you thinkz! Wow, after deleting that other chapter, it's really short now! cry
