Kimiko woke up, as the events of yesterday, flooded back to her. She sat up, lost in thought. The storm, Raimundo finding her, Raimundo getting suddenly protective of her. It made her confused. She changed and walked into the kitchen where the other three dragons and Dojo were having breakfast. Raimundo saw her first.

"Good Morning Kimiko, did you sleep well?", he inquired.

"Actually I did, and good morning to you too."

"Kimiko you gave us all a scare," Clay interrupted.

"Yes Kimiko, we were most worried about you."

"Im really sorry guys, I had no idea that the snow would come so fast. But I'm fine now, thanks to Raimundo finding me."

He grinned. "It was nothing."

Sure didn't act like it was nothing. "Yes it was, I could've died out there, but your rescued me, so once again, thanks. Now, what's for breakfast?"

&&&&&&&&

Guys, Im going into the town, I'll be back later okay." Kimiko said. "I have to pick up another package."

Raimundo came up to her. "Hey Kimiko, well your there can you see if a package for me is there? It's small so it should be easy to carry."

She smiled. "Sure, what is it by the way?"

He smiled suspiciously. "Nothing."

"Why am I getting a package filled with nothing?"

"Come on", he said laughing.

"I was kidding."

"Of course you were, now go."

"Trying to get rid of me huh?"

"No way, I don't want it to snow again is all."

"Don't worry, I made it the first time, I'll be fine", she said as she walked out the door.

Kimiko got to the post office, where both her package and Raimundo's package were waiting. She got them and walked back outside. Whatever Raimundo had was small, the box was so tiny, she wondered what it could be. She of course was happy. Her package was Raimundo's Christmas present. She knew he loved soccer and the world cup so (thanks to her fathers connection, how she loved those connections) she had gotten a soccer ball used in the World Cup by Brazil with all the team players signatures on it. She knew he would love it.

"Here Rai, you were right, it is small."

He shrugged. "Good things come in small packages."

"I guess your right."

"Anyways, thanks for doing this. I really appreciate this."

"What else are friends for?", she replied innocently.

"A lot more, you'd be surprised."

"Okay, I'll be back, I have to wrap this."

"What is it?"

"Nothing", she replied sweetly.

"Ha, we all know what that means."

She shook her head. "I'll see you later."

Raimundo sat in his room unwrapping Kimiko's other present from the package. He really hoped she'd like it. He pulled it out and opened the tinier box just to look at it again. It was a gold, flat charm on a golden chain in the shape of a seashell with a pearl in the center. About the size of his medallion. When he saw it when he was looking on the web for something for Kimiko, he knew she would love it. He shut the box again and wrapped it in gold foiled paper.
