Poke
"Go away"
Poke, poke
"Go away Omi" Raimundo muttered sleepily why he had to wake him up by poking him all the time
Poke, drip, poke,
"I said go away I'm getting up" why did he feel wet
He opened his sleep eyes, "shit!" Suddenly he was wide-awake. Raimundo looked around he was still in the valley and it was starting to rain.
He looked at his wrist watch it read 6.00am "shit!" he thought he had ½ an hour to get back before someone came to wake him up and find that he wasn't in his room. "I am so going to get busted by Master Fung".
As he got to his feet, he was hit by a wall of rain push ahead by the fast winds of the valley. In a mater of seconds, he was soaked to the skin. He pushed his way thought the gap and hurried back down the path towards the temple.
The rain pushing at his back, was now coming down hard and fast making the ground slippery under foot
As he got to the steep part of the path, the rain was rushing down it almost a mini river. Rai was racing so fast forgot to be careful and tripped on a hidden root, he automatically put his arms out to try and regain his balance grabbing at a near by tree branches with his hands, but it was to late he skidded and felt himself falling, hitting his left arm on something as he rolled his way down the rest of the slope ending up at the bottom a soggy pile coved in mud and a whole new collection of bruises and scratches.
He picked himself up and rubbing the back of his head where he had banged it and quickly wiping mud out of his eyes. "Fuck it!" if he got spotted looking like this, he was going to defiantly going to be it trouble. He had to get back to the temple ASAP and get himself cleaned up
"Oh I am so screwed," he muttered out loud, as he got off the path and moved towards the temples back wall.
By the time he got there the heavy rain had washed off some of the mud and he looked more like Xiaolin apprentice who had gone out for an early morning walk and got caught in the rain then a Xiaolin apprentice who had sneaked out in the middle of the night
"I might just make it" he thought to him self as he jumped the wall. All he had to do was make it back across the courtyard, get to his room, clean himself up and act as if nothing was wrong
Raimundo looked carefully around the corner of the building he was hiding behind, the rain was starting to let up and he could just about see across to the open window of his room "oh please let me get away with this" he pleaded silently.
He ran for it "please, please let me make it" he was 5 yards away from the window 4, 3, 2 , he jumped up to the ledge and landed silently in his room
He punched his left arm into the air in silent victory and almost gave the whole game away as he felt a stabbing pain race down his arm; he bit down hard on his bottom lip to stop himself from yelling out
"Shit! Shit! Shit! What have I done now" as he cradled his arm, carefully pulling up his sleeve he saw that his wrist was swollen and that most of his arm was covered in one huge bruise
"Oh I'm so going to get caught out" Raimundo thought miserably to himself, he wiggled his fingers experimentally
It didn't hurt "well I don't think I've broken it" Raimundo mumbled to himself as he tried to remember the basic first aid they had be taught
That was good; a broken arm was going to be hard to try and hide especially from Master Fung
He tried to move the rest of his hand and ended up biting down on his lip again "agh! ow ow ow shit!"
Well he might not have broken his arm but he had defiantly twisted something and badly.
Raimundo sat down on his bed holding his wrist. He could hear the others starting to move around in there own rooms he had probably only a few minuets before Omi came to wake him up. He had to move fast, gritting his teeth agents the pains shooting up his arm he looked thought his draws " come on come on I now its in here some where" he muttered as he looked for the bandage that he had in there "come on ah got it" he sat with his back ageist the door to stop any one busting in to his room while he bound his wrist as tight as he could it helped a bit had only just finished as he felt some one push ageist the door "damn" he still had to get changed who ever it was pushed harder then suddenly he heard Omi's voice.
"Raimundo blocking the door so I can not wake you up is defiantly not cold" the youngest of the four monks called out
"Its cool Omi and it doesn't matter any ways because I'm up" Rai yelled back, there was a sudden gasp of shock from the other side of the door "Raimundo I do not believe it have you finally stopped being a lazy skeleton"
"Its lazy bones Omi" Rai corrected automatically.
"Whatever" the smaller monk retorted back "have you stopped being a lazy sk… lazy bones or have you woken up early so that you can start you extra chores sooner"
Raimundo groaned he had completely forgotten about the extra work he had to do and now he had to do it with a bad arm as well. It was going to take him twice as long to do every thing.
"Rai" now Kimiko was nagging at him. "Hurry up will you"
Pushing the thoughts of how long it was going to take him to do his chores Raimundo quickly changed out of his wet clothing and in to his xiaolin robes doing his best to also wipe the remaining mud of his face.
Heading along the corridor, he could have sworn he herd a stifled giggle. Shaking his head, he continued along the corridor
"ORB of TORNAMI! WATER!"
"What th……. !" Raimundo tuned round in time to be hit in the face by a freezing column of water, which blasted him into the wall.
Picking him self up, he looked to see Clay, Kimiko and Omi with the Orb of Tornami in his hands standing at the other end of the corridor huge grins plastered all over there faces.
"What the hell was that for?" Raimundo yelled
"Revenge what else" was all the reply he got form Kimiko who he could see was trying stopping her self from laughing.
"How did you get the Orb of Tornami out of the vault I thought Dojo had put a lock on it"
"Next time you pull one of your little pranks make sure you don't involve some one who has the key to the vault "came the muffled voice of Dojo emerging a second later from under Clay's hat. His whole body shaking with surprised laughter.
"Hmm very funny" Rai muttered back glaring at his friends he was soaked to the skin for the seconded time that day " what are you going to do when Master Fung finds out that you used wu to pull of this little revenge coup".
"I am going to give each of them a week of wash up duty as punishment" replied a sombre voice from behind Raimundo, making him spin round again. Master Fung stood there a look of amusement across his face.
"But doesn't Raimundo have wash up duty for the next month" Omi questioned.
"Not any more young monk, Raimundo will now only have one week you, Kimiko and Clay will take the other 3 weeks"
Omi's small face creased in confusion "but master Fung we did not lose a shen gon wu by pulling silly jokes as Raimundo did so why must we do some of his chores"
Raimundo gritted his teeth as he tried to ignore the younger monk
"Because Omi" master fung replied his face turning stern "you used a shen gon wu to pull a practical joke which is almost the same as what Raimundo did"
And with that Master Fung tuned to walk away only adding over his shoulder "Oh and Dojo" causing the small dragon to jump at the sound of his name "next time I expect you to be the voice of reason, instead of helping" and with that he rounded the corner
Dojo grinned guiltily as the others approached Rai
"Well I hope you happy" was all he could manage to say before his friends all burst out laughing
"Oh Raimundo partner, the look on you face when you got hit by that water" Clay finally managed to gasp
"Yer what ever" Raimundo glared back at the tall Texas boy
"Oh com' on now Rai, its only fair" replied the good-natured xiaolin apprentice of earth "you got us yesterday and we got you back"
"Hmm" the Brazilian muttered back the frown on his face soon replaced buy his familiar smile " at least I now only have one week of wash up to do" reminding his friends of the now shared punishment
"Please don't remind me" sighed Kimiko "lets just go and get some breakfast I'm staving"
A shiver shot down Raimundo back reminding him of his currently soggy condition "You lot go a head I'm going to go and get my self dried off first" heading back towards there living quarters
As the others turned to head towards the dinning room, Raimundo grinned as an idea flashed across his mind
"Know how can I convince Master Fung to get you lot to help me clean the grand hall floor" he wondered out lowed knowing that his friend were still in ear shot
"Fat chance Rai!" kimiko shot back "That one punishment that you can keep all to your self, now hurry up and go get changed in to some dry clothes, other wise you'll be late starting morning training"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red eyes narrowed as he watched the dark haired boy from last night go to meet with the other apprentices in what looked like the training ground
"Shit!"
He'd been wrong, what he had taken at face value for unrest between the dragons in training had turned out to be no more then resentment at the fact that some of them had got caught out in some kind of childish practical joke.
They had already gotten there friend back by nearly drowning him earlier that morning.
He'd moved closer to the temple to try and at least observe some of the apprentices elemental powers
He had a good idea that the smallest of the four a bald headed boy of about 15, was the dragon of water as it was him who had used the Orb of Tornami to douse the other boy
That just left earth, fire and wind to be accounted for
He watched the apprentices begin there training
