Author's Note: IMPORTANT-Sorry guys, but you gotta wait a couple of days because I don't have one done for tomarrow or the next day. It's not like I have writer's block or anything, it's just that the fics have finally caught up to me. So expect a new one in the next couple of days. Until then, enjoy this story.

"Hey Dojo, what Wu is it again?" Raimundo asked in mid flight towards their next Shen-Gong-Wu destination in Greenland. The four monks were all wearing their Winter clothing.
"It's called the Glass Catcher, whoever possesses this Wu will get a small glimpse into the Spirit World," Dojo responded. "Kind of like a sixth sense."
"So, are we able to talk to the spirits?" Kimiko asked.
"Ha, not without the Feather of Phoenix. They're like the Fountain of Hui and Eagle Scope, one can't work without the other but are dangerous when put together."
"What's so dangerous about talking to the spirits?" Rai asked.
"Uh... how should I say this... sometimes, you don't always like what you hear." The four monks looked at each other with weary eyes.

They arrived at the icy tundra of Greenland. They got off the dragon and surveyed their surroundings.
"Whoever said that Greenland is ice and Iceland is green, they weren't kidding," Clay noted. The others agreed. They decided to split up and search high and low for the Wu.
"Hey guys! I found it!" Raimundo shouted while holding up what appeared to be a brass ring surrounding a shard of glass. From a distance, it looked more like a dream catcher except without the feather decoration. The others raced towards him. Omi grabbed it out of his hand.
"I cannot wait to use this Shen-Gong-Wu. With it I can see my parents and tell them how great I am," Omi gloated.
"Now why should you use it first when I got myself a granddaddy to see," Clay said while taking the Wu out of Omi's hand.
"Hold on you guys, we wouldn't start a showdown now would we?" Raimundo asked while taking the Glass Catcher out of Clay's hand. "Now, as leader, I get to decided who should use it first. Kim?"
"Huh?" Kimiko questioned. He walked over to her and handed her the Wu.
"You should try it first."
"Why me?"
"Because, you always asked what your mom was like, this is the perfect way."
"But don't you have anybody you wish to see?"
"Yeah, but that can wait for another day. Right now, it's your turn," he said and smiled down at her.
"Wow, Rai, I can't believe you remembered that."
"Of course, I remember everything you told me." She blushed.
The other two monks looked at the two in question. Well, one of them anyway.
"Clay, what is going on with Kimiko and Raimundo?" Omi asked.
"Well... y'see... Rai has a crush on Kimiko."
"A crush? You mean he wishes to maim her?"
"No no, that's not what I meant. He likes her more than just friends, and by the looks of it, she likes him too."
Omi still had a questioning look.
"How could you like someone more than just friends?"
"I'll tell you some other time," Clay sighed.
Just when Kimiko was about to take the Wu out of Rai's hands, Dojo comes in and takes it. The two looked at him in question.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" he asked with an irritated look.
"Well yeah, but we don't have the Feather of Phoenix and we can only see them. What's wrong with seeing our dead relatives?"
Dojo sighed.
"If Master Fung were here, he would say that the Glass Catcher can only be used by someone who has truly moved on. No lingering feelings for the deceased."
"In other words, another Wu that requires absolute focus," Raimundo said. "Gotcha."
Dojo then took out the Changing Chopsticks and shrunk the Glass Catcher and put it in his ear. Then he grew forty feet and the monks got on without complaints.

They arrived at the temple and Dojo handed Master Fung the Glass Catcher.
"This is a very good add to our collection, and I assume that Jack Spicer didn't cause too much trouble," Master Fung said.
"Actually, he didn't even show up," Kimiko said.
"Yeah, he probably got lost on the way," Clay snickered. The others laughed.

That night, Kimiko was sound asleep, dreaming away in slumber. That is, until she was shaking until her eyes flutter open. When her eyes focused, she saw a pair of forest green eyes stare directly at her.
"...Rai? What time is it?" she asked groggily.
"It's almost two in the morning," he replied. Her eyes widened.
"Rai, are you crazy?"
"It depends. Now come on," he said while he grabbed Kimiko's hand and dragged her out of her mat.
"Raimundo, where are you taking me?"
"Do you trust me?" She stared at him perplexed.
"Of course I do."
"Then you shouldn't of asked," he replied with a mischievous grin. She merely rolled her eyes. He brought her out to the courtyard. The only thing that was lit was the full moon. Then he sat down by the cherry blossom tree.
"What are we doing out here?" she asked.
"I wanna show you something," he said while inviting her to sit with him. So, she walked over to him and sat down. He then reached inside his robe and got out the Glass Catcher.
"Rai, why did you-how did you-what are you-"
"I took it while Dojo was asleep."
"But why?"
"Because Kimiko, it's your turn." He handed her the Wu. She held it, unsure of what to do with it.
"Rai... that's really sweet of you."
"Hey, I'd do anything for you."
"Really?"
"Really." She smiled at him as she blushed. Then she held the Wu up to her line of vision.
"Glass Catcher," she said and the shard of glass turned misty. At first, she didn't see anything, she moved the Glass Catcher around until she saw something that made her gasp and nearly drop the Wu. She saw a woman smiling with long black hair, a set of sapphire eyes, and looked like Kimiko except older.
"Mom?" she gasped. Then the woman vanished and the glass was clear again. Kimiko turned to Rai with red puffy eyes. He wrapped his arms around her and let her cry on to his shoulder. He rubbed his hand on her back to try to calm her down.
"It's OK, Kim," he said soothingly. Then Kimiko drew back and looked at him. But not with a saddened look, but one with a smile.
"Thank you, Raimundo," she said through her tears. He smiled back.
"Anytime," he said as he brought her in again. Completely lost in the moment.
