In this chapter, Clay admits his feelings for Kimiko. What will happen? Read to find out. Please review!!!
PART 3
Suddenly, Rai regained consciousness and his eyes popped open but not soon enough for Kimiko to see. This means that she was about to kiss him for no reason. Figuring out the outcome, Raimundo winks at Clay and closes his eyes. This was when the cowboy realized his plan.
"Kimiko, wait!"
The Dragon of Earth shouted but it was too late. The Monks' lips had already made contact and it looked as if they were both enjoying the process.
"Is he Ok?"
A concerned Omi questioned as Kimiko stepped back to see if it worked. The Dragon of Water was answered by the Brazilian boy himself.
"Yeah I'm cool. Thanks for askin."
"Thank God!"
The Japanese girl cried out as she grabbed Rai as close to her as possible. Giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. But she did not notice that he was blushing, so red that he covered his face from her.
"How did you fall?"
"Well, I rather not say, but you'll find out soon enough."
The Dragon of Wind just exchanged glares with Clay, and this was how Kimiko realized that there was Competition in Paradise.
A few minutes later they landed on the beach. Still a bit shaken up by his fall, Rai stumbled onto the sand landing flat on is face.
"Do you still wanna hang out?"
"I wouldn't rather do anything else!"
Kimiko answered back with an adorable smile on her face. She helped the Dragon of Wind to regain his balance but her attention was distracted by Clay's buff arms.
"Wow. I never noticed how muscular Clay was!"
The Japanese girl said with love in her eyes as she walked towards him. Leaving Raimundo all alone.
Since when did Clay get muscles? Well if its muscles she wants, its muscles she'll get!
With that, Rai pulled off his shirt and rubbed some sunscreen on his chest and laid down on the sand. Pretending to clear his throat, he let out a hard cough to get Kimiko's attention. And it did.
"So, Kimiko. Would you like to go out on a date sometime?"
"Well…"
Her answer was cut short by Raimundo lying on the sand showing off his body.
"Oh baby!"
"Um Kimiko, your answer?"
"Sorry Clay I'll have to get back to you on that."
The Dragon of Fire left the cowboy dead in his tracks and ran straight to Rai. Sensing her presence, he pretended to be asleep.
"Rai, are you awake?"
"Yeah. What's up?"
"Oh nothing. Just enjoying the view."
"Kim, can I ask you something?"
"Sure anything?"
"Do you wanna go out with me sometime?"
The Brazilian boy flashed a sensitive stare at Kimiko that made her melt inside.
"Of course!"
With the answer, Kimiko lay down next to Rai and they enjoyed the little quiet time they had. But what they don't know is that Clay over heard the conversation and he was on his way to destroy there connection.
"Raimundo! You better get your butt over here!"
"Clay, are you Ok?"
"No I'm not Kimiko. I guess I can't keep it a secret anymore. I like you, a lot. If you don't like me it's Ok but to pick Rai over me is just sick and wrong. He's a player or a pimp if you want to call him that and I think that you're too good for him."
"Rai, is that true?"
"Nah. I just said those things to show you how much people wanted me. So you could want me. I like you too Kim and I'll do anything to win your heart!"
If you were in the mist of the conflict, you could feel the hatred for each other that came from Raimundo and Clay. This tension got the Dragon of Water to join the dispute.
"What's going on?"
"Raimundo and Clay are fighting over me Omi! Isn't it great!"
"Well no. How will you pick the winner?"
This sentence brought an idea to the cowboy.
"How' bout a Xiaolin Showdown!"
"I guess they are dumber in Texas. Hello! No Shen Gong Wo."
"What if Kimiko's the prize and our feeling's the wager."
"Keep talking Clay."
The Brazilian boy was very interested in what his idea was going to be for this Showdown.
"Whoever wins gets Kimiko but if you loose you have to forget your feelings for her forever. Deal?"
"Bring it on Clay-my-man!"
(TOGETHER)
"Let's go."
"XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN!!!"
(THE SURROUNDINGS CHANGE FOR THE SHOWDOWN)
THE SAND ON THE BEACH FORMS AN UNDERGROUND WIRPOOL AS THE PALM TREES CREATE A STADIUM AROUND THE SINK IN THE SAND. KIMIKO IS THEN PLACED AT THE TOP OF A PALM TREE THAT IS IN THE CENTER OF THE WIRPOOL.
TOGETHER
"Gong Yi Tampi!"
At this time, Clay and Raimundo were at the bottom of the swirling pit getting ready to fight.
"Sizmic Kick-EARTH!!!"
"Ahh!"
Rai screamed as a hole in the ground tried to suck him in. This happened because Clay controlled Earth. But before the Brazilian boy caught his balance, he noticed this was just a distraction. Clay was riding a stone-like wave towards KImiko! So he knew he had to act fast to win her back.
"Typhoon Boom-Wind!!!"
"It's too late partner, I'm almost there."
"Think again Bacon-Breath!"
Before Clay could realize it, Rai was swooping down to grab Kimiko off the tree.
"No!!!"
Clay shouted in grief, but it was too late. Rai already saved her from the tree and was heading to safety.
(THE SURROUNDINGS CHANGE BACK TO NORMAL)
"I…I lost."
"Sorry about that Big Guy, but Kimiko was worth it. You remember the deal?"
"Yeah. You can have her"
With that note, Rai turned Kimiko towards him, who was still a little dazed from the Showdown, and did something that she would never forget.
"Ok. This was something I wanted to give you for a real long time Kim."
Suddenly, he leaned forward and planted a wet kiss on her that made her faint when he let her go.
"Come on guys, lets get going."
Dojo suggested as the sun was about to set.
"Being a dragon, I need my beauty sleep too!"
THE MONKS TOGETHER
"Ha Ha!!!"
