Chapter 5: An Unfulfilled Vow

Kimiko's P.O.V.

It's only been about 2 weeks since Rai had come back from the dead. It's been about 3 days since Jermaine's chi had been stolen. And those three days seemed very lonely as Rai went into non-stop training mode. I went outside into the yard where Rai was training. I analyzed my fiancé thoroughly. His ambiance was different from the fun loving, laidback Raimundo I had come to love. His gentle side had been replaced by a fierce one.

"Rai?" I asked in worried tone.

"Yeah?" He said while doing fingertip push ups.

"Wanna take a break?" I offered.

"No." He replied, not even flinching.

"Rai?" I asked again.

"What!? What is it now!?" He yelled while he kept going.

I was so startled by his sudden reaction that I even lost my balance and fell. I couldn't believe it. Rai had suddenly become someone totally different. I started crawling away from him. Then I got up and ran on the verge of tears.

Raimundo's P.O.V.

"Wait! Kim! Damn…" was all I could mutter after I finished my push ups.

I sat there for awhile thinking of what I had done to the love of my life. But I couldn't stop now. I had to avenge Jermaine. No matter what the cost. I vowed to him on that day. I swore I would get his chi back. If it weren't for him, I might've been…

"Hey Rai!" a voice broke my train of thought.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"Have you seen Kim?" Keiko asked as she approached me.

I quickly shifted my gaze towards the right and didn't even bother with the question. I climbed up the tree in the yard and started doing some upside down sit ups.

"Hey! You can't just ignore me like that." Keiko pouted.

"Watch me." I replied.

She was startled by sudden counterattack.

"You know ever since Jermaine's chi had been stolen, you've changed. I understand that losing a comrade is a horrible loss, but just don't push yourself too hard Raimundo. Kimiko gets really worried you know."

This time it was me who was startled by the comment that Keiko had made. I started to tear up. I'm not exactly sure what happened but the next thing I knew I was already on the ground. I quickly swiped away my tears and headed towards the showers, passing Keiko. I stopped at the doorway.

"Kim's most likely in her room." I said and left.

Kimiko's P.O.V.

I laid there in my room. So many things had happened over the years, hunting for Shen Gong Wu, making new friends, saving the world, fighting Heylin villains, Rai proposing. I smiled at the last one.

"Strange isn't Kimiko?" I said to myself. "I'm not that sad that he snapped at me. He's just still upset about Jermaine, right? Yeah. That has to be it."

"It is strange." said a familiar voice from the behind the door of what now became my and Rai's room. "You're talking to yourself, you crazy girl."

"Come on in Keiko. It's open." I responded.

She opened the door with a grin. "Well, whatcha doing?" She asked.

"Reminiscing on the past." I answered with my own smile.

She giggled. "That doesn't sound like my Kim at all. What are you reminiscing about?"

"Well, all the Xiaolin Showdowns that have happened. My life before and after I became a Xiaolin Dragon. Master Fung's teachings. When Rai and I were in love." I started.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Hold up. Are you saying you're not in love anymore." Keiko asked puzzled.

I laughed. "No, it's not that, I think. But this whole Jermaine has taken a really big toll on Rai so I think I need to give him his space."

"Good answer. He's becoming real cranky lately." Keiko joked. However, her attitude changed as she said, "But maybe you're right. He owes Jermaine his life. Not only that but he trained Rai back into Xiaolin Dragon shape. That fiancé of yours may be stubborn, but I think his intentions are good." She smiled.

I smiled back. "Wait a sec. Are you hitting on my fiancé?" I yelled.

We started to talk for what seemed like hours until Omi came in.

"It's time…Jason has mobilized an army. We need to face him." Omi claimed.

Clay and Raimundo were already behind him. I gave them a thumbs up and we started to suit up. As we were getting ready, Rai came up to me and hugged me from behind.

"I'm…sorry." He said.

"It's fine." I gave him a kiss. "Just do me a favor, and come back to me."

He stuck back with another kiss. "I'll always protect you no matter what. I'll protect everyone here."

We all stood against a massive army of Jack's inventions.

"Hey there Xiaolin Losers. Everyone sends there regards."

"Well ain't that mighty nice." responded Clay.

"Jason, prepare to accept defeat." Omi readied a stance cueing us to do the same.

"Jack bots, vaporize them." He commanded.

There was a flurry of various Jack bot parts flying everywhere. I heard Omi use his Shimo Staff, Clay use the Third Arm Sash and the Big Bang Meteorang, and Rai was using the Blade of the Nebula and the Sword of the Storm. I used my Arrow Sparrows to cover them.

"Not bad. But don't forget about me!" Jason cried out. "Fist of Tebigong!" As he created a fissure in the ground making Clay lose his balance. A Jack bot was about to slice him in half when it suddenly burst.

"Wha?" Clay started.

"Wudai Star: Wind." Rai said as he finished his move.

"Hiyaaa!" Jason exclaimed while taking a few swing sat Rai. Then eventually they were forced into a lock.

Raimundo's P.O.V.

"Heh." I smiled. I grinned widely. "Finally." I muttered.

"What?" Jason asked confused. "Is my fly open?"

"Jason. I challenge you to Xiaolin Showdown!" I laughed hysterically. I was finally getting a chance to even the odds with the Heylin side.
