Demonwolf: (busy with writing other stories) Make it short, Shinyou.
Shinyou: Okay, mistress. Demonwolf does not own Xiaolin Showdown. The song is "Tangled up in me" by Skye Sweetnam. Then she wants to thank xxFireWarriorxx, Janey1097, Luiz4200 and RCommonASenseI for their reviews.
Demonwolf: Yeah, they keeps me alive.
Shinyou: Yes, this chapter is for rAiKiMlOver455673.
Demonwolf: Hope you'll enjoy it.
10.A day in N.Y.
(Kimiko's Pov)
To be a rockstar isn't as easy and cool as everyone think it is. You're travelling around the world, you get much money, are loved all around the world by lots of people but can't even go into a café because these peeople are kinda stalking you. They can't believe you're as ordinary as they are. The more famous you are the less time you have for your friend.
A boyfriend is impossible for someone like me. Not enough time.
I was pissed because I had to go to a award show exept going to my friend Clay's marriage.
"I'm in New York, it's a beatifu day and I'm in a bad mood. Something doesn't fit in here."
I walked through the streets of the biiig city. After a while I went thirsty. Lucky me I saw a drinks machine. I pulled out my purse and inserted a coin into the slot, pushed the button for the coke and – the machine did nothing but taking my money.
"DAMN!!"
I kicked the machine as hard as I could. The "thiev" spit out a coke.
"There you are!!"
I looked at my wristwatch. I had two hours till I had to be at the television station.
I grapped the coke and continued my walk through the city.
(Raimundo's Pov)
I saw her passing by the café where my friend Omi and I were working. She was – It's hard to describe…With her long black hair and her shining blue eyes she looked like the beautifulest girl I've ever seen. I stared after her until someone tapped me on my shoulder.
"Raimundo my friend, we have guests."
I blinked serveral times to make sure this wasn't a dream. When she entered a very expensive boutique, I sighed.
"Omi, I've found the girl of my dreams."
"Oh that's brilliant my friend. Is she nice?"
I turned around and headed towards the waiting guests.
"I don't know, Omi."
'That's ridicolous! She's rich and I'm just a lousy-paid waiter.'
LONDONPARISBERLINMADRIDROMLISSABONDUBLINKOPPENHAGENDuring our break, Omi turned on the TV.
His favourite band would be on MTV. He'd been talking about nothing else for a fortnight.
The presenter had brightred hair and pale skin like milk. His eyes sparkeled like red suns.
"Hello, everybody. Today we have one of my favourite bands here. They are from Japan and their vocal got the prize for the hottest woman this year! Here is Harustorm!!!"
The crowd seemed to go crazy when serveral black haired people walked in.
I gasped.
"That's – That's her, mate!! The girl I saw earlier!"
My little friend looked at my with eyes wide open and an open mouth.
"You – You've seen Kimiko Toho?!"
"Aha, Kimiko's her name. Sounds beautiful. It suits her."
The presenter, Jack Spicer was his name, asaked them some questions about their new album and the tour. Kimiko giggled often. I liked that.
"So you'll have a secret gig this afternoon?"
The young woman nodded.
"Yeah and only our biggest fan will know where we'll play."
"But we have two tickets left. You just have to answer some questions and their yours." A cute ravenhaired girl at her side added.
"Where's the telephone?"
Omi dashed towards my rucksack and pulled out a red cellphone.
"Hey, that's mine!!"
Omi held up his hands in defense.
"I'll use it for something good. Don't worry."
"But that's my money you're wasting."
He vanished in the bathroom with my cellphone in his hand.
LONDONPARISBERLINMADRIDROMLISSABONDUBLINKOPPENHAGENFive minutes later Omi dashed towards me, tears of joy running down his face.
"I'VE WON!!! I'VE WON!!!"
"Congratulation, buddy."
I was happy for him. And even for myself because they said they got two tickets and that means-
LONDONPARISBERLINMADRIDROMLISSABONDUBLINKOPPENHAGEN"Here, your card."
He held out a light blue ticket.
'Kimiko here I come!!'
The concert was set in a tiny restaurant 500 metres away from the afé where I worked.
The air was stuffy and there were about 50 other people there. Everyone was laughing or talking. Some of them even sang and danced.
We didn't had to wait long till the lights went out.
Few moments later it began.
When the lights turned on again, Kimiko and her band stood on some kind of a stage.
"You wanna know more, more, more about me
I'm the girl who's kicking the coke machine
I'm the one that's honking at you cuz I left late again
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Can't you see I want you by the way I push you away, Ya!
Don't judge me tomorrow by the way I'm acting today
Mix the words up with the actions do it all for your reaction Ya!
Hey! Hey!
Get tangled up in me
You wanna know more, more, more about me
Gotta know reverse phsychology
I'm the reason why you can't get to sleep
I'm the girl you never get just quite what you see
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Can't you see I want you by the way I push you away, Ya!
Don't judge me tomorrow by the way I'm acting today
Mix the words up with the actions do it all for your reaction Ya!
Hey! Hey!
Get tangled up in me
You think that you know me
You think that I'm only
When everything I do is only to get tangled up in you
You wanna know more, more, more about me
I'm the girl that's sweeping you off your feet
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Can't you see I want you by the way I push you away Ya!
Don't judge me tomorrow by the way I'm acting today
Mix the words up with the actions do it all for your reaction, Ya!
Hey! Hey!
Get tangled up in me"
Her voice was amazing. The crowd sang every word together with her.
LONDONPARISBERLINMADRIDROMLISSABONDUBLINKOPPENHAGEN(Noone's Pov)
Two hours later, Raimundo's sure. He'd tell her about his feelings. Maybe he could go out on a date with her. Who knew?
He made his way to the backstage area. Noone's to be seen.
'Good, I think I'm lucky today. Go on Rai.'
As quiet as possible he creeped towards Kimiko's gadrobe.
He held his ear against the door. Rai could hear someone laugh. He didn't know how long he'd stood there until the door opened.
The woman of his dreams stood in the frame.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Rai's throat became dry and so he gulped. His knees were shaking and his poalms began to sweat.
"I'm Raimundo Pedrossa and I wanted to ask you…Well, it must seem really weird because I don't know you really but…Eehm, would you go on a date with me?"
She blushed slightly and turned her gaze towards the ground.
"I'm afraid, I have to say no…Don't get me wrong, you seem to be a really nice and charming guy but –"
"She already got someone. I'm sorry mate." Finished Jack Spicer for her.
Raimundo stared bewildered at the redhead. He and Kimiko?
"We met eachother backstage at a Green Day concert and talked the whole evening. Then we met again at his show and I couldn't stop giggling and laughing. I guess that's the moment when I fall for him."
She smiled at her boyfriend and he gave her one of his rare I'm-absollutly-happy-smiles.
Then she turned to Raimundo again.
"I'm sorry."
He smiled.
"You don't have to be. It's not your fault that you fall for somebody else. C'est la vie."
Rai looked Jack right into the eye.
"But if you'll loose here she's mine. Keep that in mind Spicer."
With that he turned around on his heels and walked away.
The end
Demonwolf: That…was weird. It began as a RaiKim story and ended as JackKim. I think I'll write another story with this song.
Shinyou: This was the last RaiKim Chapter in this series for a while now. If you know a song that fits another couple or character well, please tell us.
