Well, so far so good. People are at least reading this fanfic. Alright, so the format is working. That's good. It'll probably be easier to read from now on. If the story gets really long, drawn out, and just plain boring feel free to either review on it or pm me cuz I myself think the story is lacking it's original flare. Well, now for the fun part.

Chapter 6: Trademark Smile

Raimundo's P.O.V

I got so pumped all of a sudden. Jason stared at me blankly.

"Alright, name your game!" he declared suddenly.

"The game is Xiaolin Fencing. First one to get hit three times loses." I smirked.

"Geez, you smirk like Chase, you know that?" Jason backed off a bit.

That comment shook me. I started to feel all sweaty and my knees felt like gelatin. I felt a chill down my spine. I started to tremble.

"What…did you just say?" I said through gritted teeth.

"You smirk just like Chase. Maybe you belong with us." Jason smiled.

I felt like killing him right then and there but instead, I decided to wait until the Showdown.

"Ready? LET'S GO! XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!"

Our voices rang as the terrain turned into a sort of coliseum.

"GONG YI TEMPAI!" we yelled.

Jason started with a lunge in which I parried. He started circling each other. I started to smile but stopped as I worried it would make look or compare to Chase Young. I started to shake again but not out of fear, but out of sheer anger. I smirked anyways.

Omi's P.O.V

Something is terribly wrong here. That's what I thought to myself. Raimundo isn't acting like his normal self. There's something different about him. Maybe his anger never subsided? Was he not listening to me? I let out a big sigh.

"Go Rai!" Kimiko yelled.

"You can do it partner!" Clay cheered.

I could only smile as I saw that eventually I would be training future Xiaolin Dragons. There was a sudden clash of steel that was abnormally louder than usual. Raimundo had swung so hard that he managed to knock the sword out of Jason's hand. He pointed the Blade of the Nebula right down on Jason's neck.

"No! Please, don't hurt me!" Jason yelled as he cowered.

"Too late! You should've thought of that before you stole Jermaine's chi!" Raimundo lifted the Blade up and was ready to finish him but he hesitated. I was startled at his action. Jason managed to sweep kick him at got back his sword. I didn't know what to say at this point. Should I have told Raimundo to finish him or maybe I should've told him to let him surrender? I started to worry whether or not I could teach students as well as Master Fung could.

Kimiko's P.O.V

I started to worry about Rai. I could tell that wasn't the same Raimundo that held me back at the temple. They started fighting again. A flurry of sudden thrusts and swings all countered by multitudes of blocks, dodges and parries. Jason started to slow down.

"Raimundo, I need to finish this right here and right now. Fist of Tebigong!" he yelled as the coliseum shook.

Rai managed to jump high into the air and came crashing down Jason's blade. The power used in that blow was enormous as we felt the wind that had picked up after the impact.

"I'lll finish you, once and for all!" Rai yelled as he kept swinging. One unrelenting blow after another on Jason. He had already won the Showdown after the first three hits but he kept going. He started to laugh demonically as he kept swinging away.

I clenched my fist and bit my lip. "RAI! STOP IT!" I yelled. He suddenly froze with the Blade in the air. He dropped it and as it crashed to the ground. The terrain went back to normal.

He was on his knees. His body was trembling. We all ran towards him.

"Raimundo! What were you thinking?" Omi scolded. He examined Jason. "We need to get him to a hospital…"

"I'll do it." Clay said. "I'll have to use the Silver Manta Ray." He said as he ran off towards the temple.

"Rai?" I tried to look at his face. I gasped in horror. Rai's face had gone pale.

"I…I…" He started but stopped.

I wrapped my arms around him. "You stupid boy." I said.

He started to cry on my shoulder. "I never meant to-"

"Shh…I know Rai. I know." I comforted.

Omi was waiting for all of us back at the temple. He looked straight at Raimundo.

"I'm…sorry." was what he first said.

Rai was startled. "For what?"

"For not considering your feelings on losing Jermaine. Instead of consoling you, I only lectured you. I feel responsible for what lead to your rash actions." Omi bowed.

Rai walked up to him and patted him on the head. "Listen Omi. What I did was what I did. It's not your fault. I just got a little…okay maybe way outta hand, but that doesn't mean you take responsibility for it." And for the first time in a long time, he made his trademark smirk.

Meanwhile…

"So we lost him…" Chase said.

"Seems like it." Wuya said.

Chase smirked. "Perfect. Just as I wanted. At this rate, all will go according to plan." He started to laugh at the monitor which showed Rai's out of control rage on Jason.

So 1 for the Xiaolin and 1 for the Heylin side. What does Chase intend to do with Rai's rashness? Blah blah cliffhanger blah? Tune in…

And Please Review…

Tired...

Thanks
