Summary: Rai and Kim were training together until Kimiko opened her big mouth about Raimundo's past mistake. Can he forgive her?
Author's Notes: Kim's P.O.V. takes place after 'Citadel of Doom' and 'Pandatown'. Kinda like somewhere in the middle of the season 2. That's why this is under 'Middle'. I hope Rai didn't sound oc in the end.

"Star Hanabi, Fire!" I shouted. A blast of fire came out of the trinket and was aiming towards Raimundo. He jumped up and aimed his shen-gong-wu to me.

"Sword of Storm, Wind!" He shouted in mid-flight. The wind came down on me with great force. It took me off my feet and landed me on my back side pretty hard. I got up on my left elbow.

Then I saw a hand offered to me. I looked up and saw that it was Raimundo's hand. I turned away, determined to get up on my own.

"You need help?"

"No. And why do you care?"

"Geez, can't a guy be nice around here?"

"Not when it's you."

"All right. Don't come crying to me the next time you fall." He started to walk. But I wasn't finished with him.

"I fell because of you." He turn back to me.

"Yeah, because we were training. Remember?" I glared at him.

"We wouldn't be training this hard if you hadn't of released Wuya in the first place!" I covered my mouth with my free hand. I didn't know where that came from. I looked up at Rai and I saw that he had a pained face. He turned his head towards the ground.

"Rai, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"Yeah, whatever." He walked off to his room. I finally managed to get up.

I felt a presence join me. I looked up and saw Master Fung look in the direction Rai left.

"Master Fung, what have I done?" I asked.

"Something that you haven't forgiven Raimundo for."

"But that was a long while ago, and he repaid for his mistake."

"Perhaps this is something you weren't able to get over. The pain of when he betrayed us and joined the Heylin side."

"But he's one of us now."

"Do you think so?" I looked up at him in confusion. "Remember, Kimiko, if you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words." He walked away from me. His words bestowed over me. I looked over in the direction Rai left and mustered up all the courage I can and went to his room.

I peeked into his cubicle of a room and saw that he was tossing his soccer ball up in the air and catching it.

"Rai?" I squeaked.

"What?" He said rather disdainfully.

"Look, I'm sorry about what I said." I looked at him and he still had his hard look. "I guess I still feel a little mad from when you betrayed us."

He stopped tossing his soccer ball and looked up at me with a questioned look.

"It's been months," he said.

"I know, but you really hurt us, Raimundo. I didn't know what to think." I leaned against the post that held up the curtains and had a pained look on my face.

I heard him get put down his soccer ball and got up towards me.

"What's done is done. I can't take back for what I did, all I can do is hope for the best." I looked up at him and he was smiling again. I smiled too.

Then he pulled me into a hug. I got lost around his embrace. I didn't want to let him go.
