Kimiko stared out the window at the sky. It was calling her. She wasn't sure how or why, but it was calling her. The temple wanted her back … or whatever was left there did.

Raimundo slammed her door open.

"You should knock," She said, continuing to stare out of the window.

"What did you tell Sara about Chase Young?" Asked Raimundo angrily.

"Why do you want to know?" asked Kimiko.

She put her hand up to the window, before turning away.

"She's been asking questions about him." Said Raimundo.

"She's good at that," Said Kimiko, "Not good at taking the answers though."

She pulled the wardrobe door open and took out her suitcase.

"What did you tell her?" Asked Raimundo.

"She was asking about my past. How I came to be like this," explained Kimiko, throwing a few things into her suitcase, "I gave my honest answers."

"You can't remember what happened." Said Raimundo.

"Thanks for the reminder," Said Kimiko, with a sarcastic smile, before letting it fall and throwing a book into the suitcase.

"What's that suppos … what are you doing?" Asked Raimundo.

"Packing, what does it look like?" Asked Kimiko.

"Where are you going?" Asked Raimundo.

"I'm thinking Barcelona," Said Kimiko, running a hand through her hair.

"I'm being serious! Where do you think you're going?" Raimundo grabbed her arm.

"Ow!" Cried Kimiko, making him let go.

"Where are you going?" Asked Raimundo again.

"China," Said Kimiko.

"No you're not!" Said Raimundo, as she slammed the lid shut and zipped it up.

"I have to go back to the temple." Said Kimiko.

"There is no temple!" Said Raimundo, "You … it burnt down!"

"Well there's something there that wants me to go back." Said Kimiko.

Raimundo shook his head and pulled the suitcase out of her hands.

"You are not going back to the temple!" He said, holding it out of her reach.

"It's calling me!" said Kimiko, giving a little stamp of her foot.

"A temple doesn't call people Kimiko!" Said Raimundo.

"I beg to differ." Said Kimiko in a matter of fact voice.

"Well you can 'beg-to-differ' all you like, you're not going!" Said Raimundo.

"Why not?" Asked Kimiko.

"Because … how do you know it's the temple?" Asked Raimundo.

"Well what else would be calling me to China?" Laughed Kimiko, trying to make a grab for the bag.

"Uh, I dunno, Chase Young maybe?" Said Raimundo sarcastically.

Kimiko stopped and gave him an unimpressed look.

"Don't be ridiculous." She said, "Give me my bag."

"You're telling me not to be ridiculous?" Asked Raimundo, "you're the one mentally challenged one trying to go to China!"

Kimiko's face became firm.

"Give me my bag."

"Kimiko … I didn't mean …"

"Give me the fucking bag Raimundo!"

"No."

She glared at him for a moment.

"Fine!" She snapped.

"Fine!" Said Raimundo.

"I'll unpack!" Said Kimiko.

"I'll help!" Said Raimundo.

"Not likely!" Said Kimiko.

"What you expect me just to give you the bag back?" Asked Raimundo.

"Yes!" Said Kimiko.

"Well I'll just have to disappoint you!" Said Raimundo.

"Well it wouldn't be the first time!" Said Kimiko.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Asked Raimundo.

"If you can't figure it out I'm not going to tell you!" said Kimiko.

Raimundo turned and walked out the door with the suitcase. Kimiko clenched her fists and gave a small scream of anger before falling onto the bed.


"What was all that about?" Asked Sara.

"She wanted to go to China!" Said Raimundo.

"What's wrong with that?" Asked Sara.

"She thinks the temple is calling to her!" Said Raimundo.

"Oh," Said Sara, understandingly.

"She's going to drive me insane!" Said Raimundo.

"Then let her go to China." Said Sara.

"I can't!" Said Raimundo.

"Then stop complaining!" Said Sara.

He slumped into the chair. Sara bit her lip and watched him for a moment.

"Why don't we take her to China?" She asked.

"Are you out of your mind?" Asked Raimundo.

"No, but it might help Kimiko recover some of her lost memories." Said Sara.

"That wouldn't be a good thing." Said Raimundo.

"Why not?" Asked Sara.

"Because it would probably drive her more insane than she already is." said Raimundo.

"Why else?" Asked Sara.

Raimundo shook his head.

"Chase Young." Said Sara, "you think he'll find her if we take her back."

"I think he's the real reason she wants to go back." Said Raimundo, "It's not the temple it's him. Deep down … she wants to find him. To find out something."

"Well … from what I can tell she can look after herself." Said Sara.

"You think?" Asked Raimundo.

He sighed and looked up at her.

"You really think I should let her go back?" He asked.

"I think we should go with her." Said Sara, "For protection and support."

"I don't want to go back there." Said Raimundo.

"Maybe you need to stop thinking about what is best for you," Said Sara, "And start thinking about what's best for Kimiko."


Kimiko pressed my forehead against the cold glass. She could still hear it. The calling was louder now … it was crying … screaming for her to come. She needed to get back desperately.

"What do you want from me?" She whispered, "What do you need? Why are you calling me back? Why me?"

She felt a pang of longing in her heart as she felt herself drawn closer to the temple. She wasn't going to let Raimundo stop her from going. Even if it was Chase Young, she was more than capable of taking care of herself if she did meet him.

There was a knock at the door and Raimundo walked in.

"I knocked …" He said.

"I noticed." Said Kimiko.

"Um … you're going to need this back." Said Raimundo, putting the suitcase down on the floor.

"Why?" Asked Kimiko looking up at him with an uninterested expression playing across her pretty face.

"We … Sara and I … we think it might be good for you to return to China," Said Raimundo, " … with us of course! I'm not letting you go alone."

"When are we going?" Asked Kimiko, with the same bored expression.

"As soon as I can get time off of work." Said Raimundo.

"Fine, thank you." Said Kimiko, turning back to the window.

Raimundo hesitated.

"I'm sorry for what I said earlier Kimiko," Said Raimundo, "It's just frustrating when you try to forget something only to have it all come back."

"I wouldn't know," Said Kimiko, "I'm still struggling to remember."

"Well … maybe China will help." Said Raimundo, nodding and walking out of the room.

As the door shut, Kimiko felt extreme anger burn in the pit of her stomach. She clenched her fist tightly and as tears ran down her face, she let loose a scream. The lights flickered and she punched the wall. Cracks spread out from where her hand had hit it, covering most of the wall.

As the plaster fell away, she breathed in deeply and looking down at her fist. There was no cut, but there was just one scar. The scar she had had since she had lost her memory. It was the only one on her actual hand and as she stared at it, it slowly turned dark, creating a black mark that coiled around her finger.


(A/N) Hey, check it! I'm back!!! Well, they're going back to the temple. I think I've got this planned out now and it might actually have plot. Enjoy!

Tell me what you think.

Lots of luv, Becky.
