Summary: Raimundo has a question that needed to be answered. What better way then using a mind reading Shen-Gong-Wu?
Author's Notes: How obvious is the summary?
Raimundo was sneaking around the grounds towards the Shen-Gong-Wu vault at night. He had to know something. It was driving him insane, and he had to find out what it is.
He entered the combination and the stone steps slid down and revealed the opening to the mystical objects. He walked down those many steps. Skimming through the drawers. The Sword of the Storm, Orb of Tornami, Fist of Tebigong, Star Hanabi, Third-Arm Sash-finally, he found what he was looking for. He pushed in the drawer and it came out. He took out the trinket that he needed and placed over his ear.
"Mind Reader Conch," he whispered and immediately heard what he queried about.
I wonder what Rai is doing. Probably just admiring himself in the mirror. Again. He's probably talking to himself about how handsome he is, how his hair just flows with the wind, and how his beautiful green eye glint in the sun, she added that last part with a dreamy sigh. What am I saying! There's just no way, no way, that I could like him. I mean... he's just some kid from Brazil while you are just... way over your mind. Come on, Kimiko, focus. Don't let Raimundo get the best out of you. Just remain calm and try not to think of Rai. Ugh, this is hopeless, you are getting worked up over a boy! That's not you! Just regain your focus and you'll be fine. I hope.
Raimundo removed the conch away from his ear. He put it back in the drawer with a sigh of relief. He walked back out of the vault with a smile gleaming over his face. As he walked towards his room, he ran into Clay.
"Hey par'ner, you seem happy," Clay said in his Southern American accent.
"That's because I am," Raimundo replied.
"Care to share?"
"I'll tell you later." Clay shrugged and went off to do whatever he was going to do.
Then, Raimundo came to Kimiko's cubicle room and leaned against the post that held up the curtains. He smiled at her as she typed away on her laptop. She looked up at him with a confused face.
"What's up with you?"
"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about how cute you look with that concentrated look you have," Rai said making his attempt on flirting with her.
Kimiko blushed and gave him a stern look.
"Just go to bed, Raimundo," was all she could say.
"Whatever you say, Kimiko, whatever you say."
