Summary: Kimiko was relaxing outside the temple when she is joined by someone unexpected
Author's Notes: Outside because it takes place outside the temple walls and dumb title.

---

She dipped her feet into the cool water. She loved going outside the temple. Just to relax by the river. Not think about Shen-Gong-Wu, Xiaolin Showdowns, or Jack Spicer. This is what she needs, silence and relaxation.

Then, she heard a stick crack. She whipped her head in the direction it came from and saw nothing. But that didn't let her guard down. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked into the reflection of the water. When she saw a shadow cast over her right shoulder, she back handed them in the face. They stumbled backwards as she got up and took her fighting stance. But she tensed up more when she realized that she actually hit Raimundo.

"Oh my gosh, Raimundo, I'm so sorry," Kimiko said while covering her mouth. "What are you doing out here anyway?"

"I thought I'd jump you when you least expect it," Rai groaned in pain. Kimiko went up to him, rolling her eyes.

"Hold still you big baby," she said as she took his hand away from his mouth. She examined it from different angles until she spotted a small trickle of blood on his lower lip.

"How bad is it?" he asked.

"Just a cracked lip, let me take care of it." She took her free hand and wiped the blood away. But she couldn't help but linger on his lip. The feeling of his breathe gracing along her fingers was enough to make her quiver.

He felt the same way. The feeling of her fingers tracing his lips made his stomach do back flips. Who's he kidding, his stomach was doing a trapeze act. Then he was doing something that his mind didn't register. He placed his hand over hers and brought across his cheek. Trailing the blood along. But he didn't care. He just wanted to stare into the two blue orbs that stared into his green ones.

Then she took a step back and looked down at the ground.

"Sorry, I don't know what came over me," she said, blushing furiously.

"Uh... right. Right," he said as well blushing furiously.

"I think we should head back to the temple."

"Yeah."

Kimiko started off towards the temple while he stood there. Thinking about the moment that past. A smile glazed upon him.

I kinda like being outside the temple, he thought.
