Chapter 1
5 Years Later
Kim's POV
I awake in my hut/tent and get on my clothes. I walk out and look down at the village. I walk down the side of the cliff into the village.
"Konichiwa Kimiko" an elderly woman says.
"Hola Seniora Gonzales" I greet her.
"Mama where are the spoons" I hear from inside the tent.
"Coming Maria" the woman sighs. Maria Gonzales ended up being Rai's ex-girlfriend. I sigh. I missed Rai and Omi. I walk into Papa's tent.
"Kimiko" he says happily.
"Hey Papa, how ya doin?" I ask.
"Just fine" he chuckles. I leave a little bit later and walk a little farther. I walk into another tent and sigh.
"Kimiko what are you doing here?" I hear a playfully sarcastic voice ask. I turn and see Alina standing there. Alina and I had bonded over the years
and now we were best friends.
"Hey Alina, what's up?" I ask.
"Oh nothing just fearing for my life every hour of the day" she responds jokingly. I hear the tent flap and turn to see Merida.
"Hey Merida" we say. She hold up her hand in a hi greeting. I had been jealous with Merida before but once I learned about why she and Rai had a
strong connection that went away. When Merida was younger her father had beat her. Once she ran away and ran into some trouble with some
guys. Rai happened to walk by and saved her. She explained why she had run away to him and he took her home. When he got there he chewed
out her Dad and made him swear not to touch her again. But she almost never speaks unless Rai is near. Only she and Rai knew why. Lana walks
in followed by Lunetta. We all sit around Alina's fire pit and chat.
That's when the siren rings out. We all immediately are up and heading for the watch tower. I climb up and see Clay's already there looking
through our binoculars.
"Clay what's up?" I ask.
"Can't tell yet. So far it's just a cloud of dust and ash. Take a look" he says and hands me the binoculars. I take them and look into them. I watch
as a cloud of dust comes closer. I look even more carefully and I make out human shapes. A moment later I can tell it's Kunio followed by some
people.
"It's Rai's group" I say and then I'm flying towards them with my fire. I land in front of Kunio who stops along with his group.
"Kunio what's going on?" I ask him.
"We were attacked in our village by the Sapphire people" he replies.
"Where's Rai and Omi?" I ask. Kunio looks away and points behind him. They start to move again. I run to the back and Doh's there. He pulls to the
side to reveal a horribly injured Omi. I hop on the blue dragon and get next to Omi.
"Omi what happened?" I ask him.
"We were horribly outnumbered. They broke through around about midnight. We were caught unawares. I held them back while Raimundo got
everyone away. Then I was injured horribly and Raimundo ordered Doh to take me and everyone to you while he held them off. He never returned"
Omi says. Doh flys to our base and I carry Omi to the infirmary. When I leave I make a decision. I burst into Clay's tent and stare him in the eye
"I'm going after Rai".
"Are you crazy. He's probably with the Sapphire Dragon by now and you want to go after him. That's suicide" Clay almost yells at me.
"I don't care. He's our best friend and more, our brother. We can't leave him out there to be turned into Sapphire" I say.
"He's probably already Sapphire" he says.
"Then I have to see it for myself" I say staring defiantly into his eyes.
"Clay I'm the only one who can go off this island and survive. The only thing the Sapphire people hate other than soot is heat which my fire can
produce. I've got to try" I say. He sighs and nods.
"Alright go on and pack" he says. I smile, thank him, and then run to my tent. I pull out a bag and start loading it with non-perishable food, and a
little sleeping gear. I change into my Xiaolin robes. It had been so long since I had worn them that I was surprised they fit. As I run my hand over
the material I remember all the good times and some of the bad ones. One sticks out in my mind. 'My uma bela'. I hear the flapping of my tent as
someone walks in.
"You don't have to do this" I hear a soft voice say. I turn to see Merida.
"Who said I was doing it for you?" I semi-lie.
"You know he's the only one I talk around. It's because when Rai saved me I-I-I swore to him that I would only talk around him. It was stupid but I
keep my promises and Rai being a gentleman didn't object. Kim why are you going after Rai?" she asks.
"When Rai left he called me 'My uma bela' what does that mean?" I ask. She smiles.
"He called you 'My beautiful one'" she explains.
"That's why I need to go. I love him and I never told him. I have to try and do anything I can for him" I say.
"Go on. I'll give a limited explanation to everyone" she says. I nod and run to the infirmary with one last thing to do. I run to Omi's bed.
"Omi?" I ask not sure if he was awake or not.
"Kimiko" he says quietly.
"Hey Omi. I'm going after Rai" I tell him.
"Oh no Kimiko you must not. It is too dangerous" he says. I peck him on the cheek.
"Sorry Omi my mind id made up, I'm going. I just wanted to let you know" I tell him. I turn and walk out of the tent. Dojah's waiting for me. She
grows big.
"I can take you as far as the continent he's at. But then I have to get back" she says. I nod and climb on.
"Kim wait" I hear Clay yell. I turn and he tosses me a bag of something. I open it and inside is my Arrow Sparrow bag, the Star of Hanabi, the Eye
of Dashi, and the Kazusu Atom.
"Thanks" I yell as we fly off. An hour later we land on the coast of Eastern Asia. I climb off.
"Good luck hon" Dojah says as she flys off. I turn and head for the middle of China where the dragon was located.

Haley: Sorry I ate like 5 bags of candy so I'm really hyper!
