Chapter 12: When love turns to tears
"Um...are we going to Chase's lair?" Rebecca asked.
"Yeah." Matt sighed.
Raimundo scowled, at this point he'd given up all hope of getting away from this guy. He was stronger than Raimundo had first thought. "I have legs, you know. I can walk."
"You can also run." Matt implied.
Great. He's strong and he's smart. What's next? Funny? If that's the case, then what is he? A perfect robot? Raimundo continued to scowl.
--------back at the temple-----------
"This is most troubling." Master Fung paced the room.
"That is what I was saying!" Omi cried.
Kimiko got up and left suddenly.
She went to the room she and Raimundo shared. Kimiko was against going through peoples stuff ever since the boys had done it to her when they were younger...but she was hoping there was something in the room that would help her understand her soon-to-be husband.
Kimiko looked around Raimundo's room. She spotted the book he'd been writing in a few days before sitting on his bed.
She walked up to it. She sat down and opened the book. She flipped through a few pages of poems until she reached one that was titled: Went away and Left me. She began to read.
Why'd you go?
And leave me alone?
I cannot smile
I cannot cry
Not now
Maybe someday...
When I find her
Until then, I can only hold onto memories
Memories of you and I
Help me smile
Even if you aren't here
I remember when you went away and left me
I need you
To hold onto
Help me
Even if you're gone
Kimiko felt tears well up in her eyes. He was talking about his mom. She felt so bad. She'd tried so hard to get the old him back, but there really wasn't much of him left. Only broken pieces that no one could fix.
Kimiko dropped the book and began sobbing. She understood him a bit better now. But she wished she didn't. Now the pain struck her just as hard.
---------Chase's lair----------
"Where is that boy?!" Chase pounded his fist on the arm of his throne.
"Calm down, Chase, darling. He'll be here soon." Wuya cuddled him.
"Shut-up." Chase leaned up and kissed Wuya passionatly to get her to be quiet.
----------A few miles from Chase's lair-----------
"Ug!" Matt moaned. "There they go again. And they don't think I know!"
Rebecca walked faster to keep up with Matt. "Huh?"
"Oh nothing. Grand-dad and Grand-mom are at it again, if you get the jist."
Rebecca gasped. "Ew!"
"How would you know?" Raimundo reluctantly walked behind Matt. His wrist hurt from having his whole body weight being dragged everywhere with just that hold.
"Sixth sence. My mom had it too. I was 'lucky' enough to get it." Matt snickered at Raimundo's wide-eyed expression. "So, yes, I do know that you and Kimiko are to be wed. Figured now's not a better time to drag you away. Your fiance must be so worried. Don't worry, wheather or not you'll be alive, not sure, but you'll be back."
Raimundo began his annoying struggling, yanking Matt's arm in impossible movements. Raimundo stopped for a minute before he thought of a way to get on Matt's nerves, possibly even an escape. Raimundo twisted his arm to the right before making a flip over it. Holding onto Matt's arm, and to avoid a dislocated shoulder, he twisted his arm around.
Matt screamed. He now had a dislocated shoulder himself.
He let go of Raimundo's arm. Instead of running, Raimundo stayed to finish the job.
Rebecca turned on Raimundo, death glare was being sent in his general direction.
"That's right. I never got to see what you could do." Raimundo taunted.
Rebecca lunged angerily at Raimundo.
----------Raimundo and Kimiko's room-----------
"What am I doing?" Kimiko lifted her head from her hands and looked at her hands. "Raimundo would laugh at me for crying like this. He'd be yelling at me for reading his book to begin with. I can't believe myself."
She stood up and put her hands into fists. She raced back to the Scrolls Library where everyone was and began to plan with them.
---------Raimundo and Rebecca's fight---------
Raimundo kicked Rebecca off of him. She got back up and tried to hit him. He blocked it and flipped her over. She landed on her back, she got back up, scowling. She let herself build up the rage. Blood red flames lit her hands.
Oh no! Raimundo struggled to get his feet to move fast enough. Everything happened in slow motion to him.
First, she threw her flames at him, Matt turned around, Raimundo yelped with surprise when the flames hit him in the back but didn't catch on fire. Rebecca started laughing, Matt scowled, the pain in his shoulder too much to bear. Raimundo turned around to try to attack Rebecca, but Matt pulled a Shen Gong Wu out that he had never seen.
"SOUL SWITCHER!!!" Matt cried.
Raimundo felt his soul being tugged out of his body, he watched at his body fell lifeless. His soul collided with Matt's.
Raimundo's eyes opened due to a stinging pain in his shoulder. He looked over to see himself standing above him laughing at him. "What?" His voice belonged to Matt. (A/N: Because they switched, when they talk, it'll look like this: R-Matt (Raimundo in Matt) and M-Raimundo (Matt in Raimundo).)
"Now you know what the wu does." M-Raimundo snickered.
"Yeah. Apperently." His shoulder burned. Maybe sticking around was a bad idea...
-----------Scrolls library----------
Kimiko felt that something horribly wrong had happened. "Master Fung? When can we leave?"
Master Fung stiffened. "Not now. Tomorrow."
"Why?" Omi asked.
"This battle must be fought by Raimundo. And Raimundo alone. If he wants to keep his pride." Master Fung bowed his head.
Well, that's that. Raimundo is now in Matt's body and vise versa. Great, huh? Kimiko now knows how Raimundo feels some. Chase and Wuya are harder than I thought. I was trying to get some of them in without pushing the rating up to a T...or higher. Hope I did okay for those of you who like that pairing. Sorry not much on them. But some. Like I said, more RaiKimness in this chapter. I even made the chapter a bit longer! I'm aiming to make my chapters longer...like the first three. Please review while I go cuddle a paper plate. (I'll explain in the next chapter why I said that. Funny story behind it.) Reviews!!
