Author's Note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! I'm not a teenager anymore!!! ACK!!! And yay!!! I'm half way through!!!


She has to know. It was in her nature to know. She grew up knowing what she was going to get before the day even came. Her father wasn't really good at hiding things and the monks at the Xiaolin temple were no different. Clay hid his in the bottom of his trunk, it was an empty journal by the way, Omi hid his in a bush of all places, which was a cook book (she made a mental note to remind him what woman have brought to the world when she received it), Dojo's was in his ear (she looked when he was asleep) and he got her a bracelet that looked like you'd get from a twenty five cent machine, and there was no question what Master Fung got. But that left only one person. The one who calls himself the Dragon of the Wind. She couldn't find his gift anywhere. Not in a tree, not in a bush, not even in the Shen Gong Wu vault. But that didn't mean she'd give up.

She continued her search in his room. Going through every nook and cranny that was possible. Then again, it was possible to hide everything in Raimundo's cluttered space.

"Kimiko? What are you doing?" She jumped as she turned around and saw Raimundo's curious face.

"Uh... I'm just looking for... uh... Goo Zombies 8 and wanted to see if you had it," she said meekly as her face flushed. He arched his eyebrow.

"Na I think Omi has it."

"Oh, OK, I guess I'll go find him then," she said as she got up and walked out of his room.

"Hey Kim?" She turned around and his skeptic still hadn't changed. "You weren't looking for your birthday present, were you?" His face then changed into a smirk.

"What would make you say that?"

"Because I saw you scouring the grounds all day." Her eyes widened. Then she averted her gaze to the ground.

"Am I that obvious?" she asked.

"Yeah, but don't worry, a spoiled girl like you has to know what she gets four days before her birthday." He received a punch to the arm. His smirk didn't change though. "What? You know it's true."

She scoffed off. But he still smirked.

Four days passed and she still hadn't found what Raimundo got for her. When it came time for opening the presents, she got what she found. The new journal, the cook book (she gave Omi that stern talking to she promised), the bracelet, and not a big surprise that Master Fung gave her words of wisdom now that she's a year older and what not. But she was surprised that she didn't find anything that was box sized from Raimundo. She looked at him and saw that he was actually enjoying her puzzlement.

"Let me guess, you're wondering why I didn't get you anything. Am I right?" he asked. She nodded but now had a suspicious face.

"That's because, I got you something better," he said as he stuck out his hand. She still was puzzled but she hesitantly grasped his and he brought her up and gave her a kiss on the lips. The others watched with either surprise, relief, and not surprised in the least. He drew back and saw her shocked face. "How's that for a birthday present?"

She blinked several times and looked up at his soft green eyes.

"I-I have to say, that was... that was... the best gift I ever got." She smiled up at him and he wasn't phased.

"Happy birthday, Kimiko."
