'Thinking'
"Speaking"
A soft mist rolled around a child about the age of 16 she had long straight black hair and clear crystal blue eyes that could beat the oceans blue waters, her small petite form stayed in one spot not moving so she wouldn't be lost in the red and orange mist.
'Kimiko' a soft sturdy voice of a woman entered the girl named 'Kimiko's' head the mist thickened.
"Wh-o are you?" Kimiko asked in a soft voice not wanting to destroy the mists beautiful swirls.
'My name is Seraphine, the dragon that lives within your soul,' spoke the dragon just as softly letting the mist brush against Kimiko.
Kimiko closed her eyes and sighed feeling one with the mist that splayed around her, "Seraphine, what a beautiful name, tell me what is it that you need from me?"
Seraphine gave a soft hrrr and Kimiko felt the mist nuzzle against her cheek, 'I wish to help you control your fire young one, tell me, do you remember your close cousin Luna?'
Kimiko beamed and smiled at the mist, "Of course!"
'Well then my dear, you shall see her soon, the both of you will train together, because she hold my brother within her body, his name is Fiammetta the dragon holder of the blue fire.'
"Wait, Master Fung said that there was only one element of each," Kimiko heard Seraphine give a small and light laugh.
'He is right, but I held both red and blue fire, so I gave my brother Fiammetta my blue fire so he could keep it safe, he found refuge in your cousin as I had found refuge in you. Once we realized that you both where related it helped us. That is why you both are so close and so much alike, well, besides personal looks.'
"I see, so that means that my cousin and I are even stronger than a shoku warrior even?" Kimiko asked slightly embarrassed bringing up the Brazilian boy who was their shoku warrior.
'Yes, you will both be stronger than him, you both will surpass even the Grand Master Dragon state, you both will be Lady Dragons, and this is the highest power and level in a monk's life. No one has ever made it to this stage and I know that you and your cousin will.'
"A-alright, but I have one more question."
Seraphine hrrred again, 'Yes my firefly?'
Kimiko bit her lip, "Will I be able to see you again?"
The mist swirled around kimiko and then it all clumped together in beautiful swirls, all of a sudden a paw came out of the mist, then another one then finally Seraphine's body came out. To Kimiko Seraphine was beautiful. Her body was a deep red and when she walked her scales would change into a black shimmer. Seraphine's eyes where a deep emerald color that contrasted greatly yet beautifully to her body. Her wings spread open; they were almost a mesh look to them but expanded to the size of her body.
'Now you have seen me in my real form this means that whenever you wish to see me you can always call or picture me and I will come to you. But only in your mind, also my firefly do not tell your friends or Master Fung.'
Kimiko nodded and bowed to the exhilarating dragon, "I understand Seraphine, I won't tell them." She looked up and smiled at her.
Seraphine brushed her tail against her cheek, 'Thank you my beautiful firefly, now rest for your cousin will come in two days. Your master doesn't even know what her powers are and they won't know until the day she comes and you ask to battle her. Don't go easy for she won't and both Fiammette and I will aid you and show what your true potential is.'
"You're welcome and thank you for being by my side through all of this hell. And I won't let you down." Kimiko walked up to the dragon and hugged her around her neck and smiled.
'You're welcome as well, now my firefly it's time for you to rest,' Seraphine nudge Kimiko towards a portal that had appeared suddenly.
"Alright Seraphine, but I really can't wait to see what real power both Luna and I have." Kimiko smiled once again knowing that she would be seeing her cousin who was near and dear to her.
The fire dragon chuckled softly, 'As for I am also ready to see my dear brother again. Now sleep young one.' She gave Kimiko a slight blow of her fire creating crystal embers that hit Kimiko's cheek in a basically soft kiss. 'Be good and stay strong my sweet child.'
Kimiko smiled and kissed the dragons nose, "I will and now I guess I have to go don't I." She stepped into the portal and waved one more time then walked forward.
The beautiful dragon gave off soft melodic hrrrs and curled up into a ball with the mist surrounding her, 'Please be safe on your trip brother and also be careful my firefly.' She thought as she went off into sleep her emerald eyes shielded from the dark world.
(morning time at the temple)
Kimiko woke up with a start, she stared around her room hoping that she was still with Seraphine but sadly wasn't, 'Ohh well,' she thought as she got up and looked at the clock, it was 5 am and they didn't need to get up until 6!
'Well, might as well take a bath and start breakfast,' Kimiko thought as she grabbed her robes and headed off into the showers making sure the door was securely locked. After she finished she walked out of the showers in her robes and headed towards the kitchen. She played with her hair, she decided to leave it natural and down today for some strange reason. She lit the stove and grabbed the eggs, bacon,and grits then proceded to cook a full meal for the boys so as her cowboy friend Clay Bailey wouldn't eat it all and then of course her monk friend Omi could eat along with their shoku leader, her crush, the Brazilian boy, now man, named Raimundo Pedrosa. Kimiko blushed thinking about Raimundo, she always had a little crush on him, but now it grew basically to where she was almost in love but not completely.
'I wonder if Rai would ever think of me more then a friend,' she thought nonchalantly as she set the table and laid the contents along with the condiments down.
Another voice entered her mind, 'Why don't you ask him?'
'Seraphine! What are you doing in my mind? Also I can't just tell him I lo-like him! He'd think I was crazy!' Kimiko kept her passive look and sat at the table waiting for the boys to come.
Seraphine giggled, 'Well I wanted to visit you and see what you do in your spare time. Also he might love you back, you never know.'
'Oh Sera-chan, I do know though. He won't accept me, he'll find that one girl he's always wanted.' Kimiko felt a tug inside of her like it was a hug that Seraphine was giving her.
'Oh my dear firefly, you never really know until you try and see what will happen, but I will not pressure you to do anything you wish to not do. Also I like the nickname Sera-chan. You may call me whatever you wish my dear. Also it seems your friends are coming. I'll leave you be, but remeber, I'm always there for you my dear firefly.'
Kimiko smiled and told Seraphine goodbye before turning around and greeting the other with a bright warm smile, "Good morning boys."
Omi sat in front of Kimiko with Rai on her right and Clay next to Omi.
"Oh good moring Kimiko," the bright ball of sunshine named Omi smiled at her and started to put food on his plate. "It seems you have made this, that's good, a woman should know her place..." before he could finish Kimiko through a fireball at Omi.
"What did you say?" Her happy mood vanished after hearing what Omi had decided to speak about.
"N-nothing Kimiko!" Omi decided to hide behind the oblivious Clay who was stacking his food onto his plate.
"Whoo wee lil lady, you sure have made a might fine meal," Clay smiled at her and tipped his hat, "Thank you."
Kimiko calmed down and smiled at the cowboy, "You're welcome Clay and thank you for complementing on my cooking."
"No problem Kimiko."
Raimundo nudged Kimiko and smiled, "Yeah chickita, this food is pumping! You did great." He smiled that million dollar smile that made Kimiko's heart melt and her face flush.
"T-thank you Rai," she smiled at him and started eating her food just like the others. Just as they were finishing Dojo their dragon slithered in.
"Alright you guys we've got a hot one!" Dojo brought them to the temple gardens and grew to his real size. Everyone jumped on and they all looked at Kimiko who was in front of them all.
"What?"
Raimundo was the first to get over his shock and speak, "Aren't you going to get all dressed and pimped out?"
Kimiko shrugged, "Nah, I don't feel like it, all I want to is get the Wu and get back here."
Everyone nodded numbly as Dojo ascended into the clouds.
"Ohh Dojo, what are we looking for exactly?" Asked a very anxious Omi. They haven't gone Wu hunting in forever and where all eager to see what new Wu was being gotten.
"Ahh well, okay have you guys heard of the story about a Lady in Grey?"
Kimiko immediately knew what he was talking about, "I do, my cousin used to tell me the story. She said how the Lady in Grey would come and take the souls of demons and create her outfit which was made of a grey cloth like material that was translucent just like a ghost would be. She used these trapped demon souls and use them to wreak havoc all over the world so that she could gain more power."
"That's right, well it seems that this was a Wu that could destroy the Lady in Grey, it's called Adonia's Minions, you see the Lady in Grey had a sister who was well a good kind of Wicca, she gave us her power to create the Wu that we're looking for. So in all means, we have got to find it!"
The others nodded and looked at Kimiko and she smiled, "What? I like ghost storied sue me." She shrugged and went back to watching the clouds.
Raimundo smiled from where he was at, 'She sure is something else.'
Clay tapped Rai on the head, "Hello partner it's time to snag that Wu."
"Huh? Oh okay sorry man."
Clay shrugged, "Ahh it's okay, besides I know you was thinking about the lil lady up front."
Raimundo blushed a beautiful shade of red,"W-what?"
"No need to deny it Rai, you like her."
Raimundo lowered his head, "You're right I do, but I won't tell her just yet."
Clay patted him on the shoulder, "Come on partner let's saddle up and get this pig show on the road."
"Alright man."
They jumped off of Dojo and he shrunk back into his smaller form and took a seat on Clay's hat.
"Alright boys and girls, welcome to Kyoto, Japan!"
Kimiko's eyes grew wide and smiled as she looked at the familiar surroundings of Japan, "Ahh, home sweet home, now lets go grab that Wu!" She marched towards where Dojo's tail was pointing and in the distance she saw something shining and also saw that no one else was there. She ran towards it and grabbed a hold of the Wu, seeing no one there still she took a hold of it and ran towards the boys, "Come on lets go now," she said as she jumped on Dojo's back, the others followed suit, that's when they saw Katnapee and Jack Spicer come and see that the Wu was already taken.
"Well, that was slow of them but hey this is the easiest Wu catch yet!" Hollered the excited Omi.
Kimiko patted Omi's head, "Yes it was, now sit down and stay still."
"Yes Kimiko."
When they got home Master Fung praised the warriors and told them that they could have the rest of the day off, Clay went and took a nap, Raimundo went play outside, Omi trained and Kimiko went into the mediation hall and went into the lotus position. She thought about Seraphine and how she wanted to talk to her.
'Yes my firefly?'
'Oh good you answered,' Kimiko sighed.
Seraphine hrrred, 'Why wouldn't I? Also, how was your day?'
'It was really good! We got the Shen Gon Wu without a problem.'
'That's good my child, so did you tell the Wind Dragon of your feeling?'
'Umm no, I'd rather not tell him seeing as he isn't into me,' Kimiko sighed but kept her eyes closed oblivious to the three sets of eyes watching her.
'My firefly, it seems that your comrades are watching you.'
'Well let them look, I'm having a good time with you and I'm not letting those idiots destroy my good time with you.'
Kimiko smiles and Seraphine nudges her with her nose and licks her cheek, 'My dear child I would love to keep talking to you but it seems that your wanna-be lover is coming towards you and he seems intent on waking you from your restful state.'
Kimiko rolled her eyes and sighed petting Seraphine's head, 'Alright I guess I'll go,'
'Be good my child, I'll see you in your dreams.'
Kimiko smiled and kissed her cheek and woke up from her trance to see Raimundo's face in hers, "Rai, what are you doing?"
Raimundo blushed and smiled realizing that he was caught, "Well, you seemed out of it and we where just making sure that you're alright."
She smiled and patted his cheek, "Thanks for the concern, but honestly I was relaxing until you guys came along."
Clay rubbed the back of his head, "Eh sorry lil lady,"
"I am most sorry Kimiko for breaking your relaxation lotus postion." Omi bowed and smiled.
Kimiko giggled and shrugged, "It's alright you guys, besides y'all where just worried, it's not a big deal."
