Okay. I was trying to be patient and wait till at least tomorrow to post this chapter...but I gave and put it up anyway.
This is the latest chapter. It might be awhile before I can put up the next chapter because I'm on a writers block. I just happened to pre-write the story up until now. (I started writing it before I got signed up on fanfiction.)
Sorry I skipped some stuff. I might do that. I get really lazy, then I get a bunch of ideas but I'm not in a position to put up said ideas...so I result in skipping.
Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown.
'Nough talk from me. On to chapter...5!
CHAPTER 5: LET IT BE KNOWNST
(This is later in the story. 'Cause I'm lazy. Enjoy. Make up what you think you missed, 'kay?)
"Hey, Rai?" Kimiko came into their room.
"Hm?" Raimundo looked up from the book he was writing in.
"You remember when we were kids...and I kissed you?"
"Twice."
"Yeah...well I..." Kimiko was blushing really hard now. "I wanted to tell you why I did it."
"You liked me."
"You knew?!"
"Sorta. Unless you were trying to pull some sorta prank on me."
"No. I really liked you. But now we've grown up and I-"
"I'm not so sure I like you anymore, Kimiko. I mean, we've grown up a lot and changed. Now I'm not sure how I feel about you, Kim."
"Oh. Yeah. That's true. I-I guess.."
"Were you gonna say something else?"
"NO!! I mean, if that's the way you feel...then I'm okay. That's how I feel too."
"I'm sorry, Kimiko. I just have a lot on my mind right now. Can we talk later?"
"Yeah. Sorry to bug you." How can he not feel what I feel?
Kimiko was crying. "Kim? I...Why are you crying?"
HOW CAN HE BE SO OBLIVIOUS?!?! That's not the way I really feel!! "I...I'm not sure."
"You aren't over me, are you? How can you let go of someone you've liked since you were a kid...so easily? I know that there is no way to do that. From experience."
"Experience?"
"Yeah. My mom. She died. A year ago. I can't let go of her, even though she's not here."
"Raimundo..."
"But I'm alright. I just can't find it in me to love or trust anyone right now, in fear that they might leave me like she did."
"Oh. Now I understand. Raimundo. You don't have to love me or trust me. But please know that I love you and trust you and I'd do anything for you. I always will."
"I know that. And I wish I could return the feelings. But I can't right now."
"It's okay. I can wait. I can wait forever for you. I was really psyched to see you. I just didn't know you were like this."
"You know something, Kimiko?" Raimundo stood up and walked over to her. "I was really psyched to see you, too. But I forgot how to show such emotions. Now I remember though..." He leaned in and kissed her cheek. And walked off.
Raimundo...You're not the same you. You're a confusing you. I want the old Rai back.
So what do you think? Like I said, skippy. I might do a flashback in one of my later chapters and tell what happened during the stuff I skipped. This also happens to be my shortest chapter...hm. Reviews please!! I'll work on it!!
