75: Moving On

Kimiko wasn't seen for the rest the evening when she ran from the temple hall. They didn't try to look for her, seeing that she wanted to be left alone. As they continued their work on the temple, they kept their eyes peeled for any sign of her, but she was never seen. Every spare moment they go they went to her room to see if she turned up, but they never saw her. Night fell on the temple, the temperature began to fall and clouds began to rumble in the distance. The three of them were walking towards the kitchen as the storm began to build up.

"Oh boy…" said Clay as he looked up at the sky, "Looks like a thunder storm tonight…"

"I hope Kimiko's okay…" said Omi "She should get back here before it starts to rain…"

"I'm sure she's fine…" said Raimundo as they turned into the kitchen where Hannah, Kelko and Lizz were already there eating.

"Hey girls" said Clay as he sat down at the table, "How's it going?"

"Meh…" sighed Hannah "It's been okay…I guess…"

"Can't really complain" said Kelko. Lizz nodded in agreement as she went back to eating her food. Raimundo, Omi and Clay began eating too, and they chatted amongst themselves for a bit. But then Omi asked them about Kimiko, and everyone went quiet. They tried to continue eating, but they just couldn't.

"Poor Ryan…" sighed Hannah as she poked at her food with her fork.

"Poor Kimiko…" sighed Raimundo as he lent back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling.

"She's lost everything dear to her…" said Clay "She acts like she has no desire to live anymore…"

"Well we've tried to cheer her up" said Kelko "But we haven't seen her since you all had that meeting in the Main Hall, where did she go afterwards?"

"No idea" said Raimundo "She fell apart again over Ryan and ran from the hall…We haven't seen her since…

"Oh…" sighed Kelko "I hope she's okay though…It's probably been the worst day in her whole life today, and she's got to live with it for the rest of her life…"

They all nodded in agreement as they sat in silence of a few minuets.

"I wonder what she's doing right now…" said Omi.

Meanwhile…

Kimiko sat on the cliff top watching the kitchen. She had sat there all day in the cold winds, waiting for night to fall. In her hands she was holding a pen and a small notebook. She sighed as she looked down at a page in her notebook, she had been thinking all day about what to do. She scribbled the last few words and put her hand into her pockets, she sighed as she felt the warmth from her clothes fill her hands. She read what she had wrote over and over again, making sure what she wrote was correct.

"There…" said Kimiko "My farewell note is done…"

The ink began to blur as tears began to fall onto the paper. She wiped her eyes with her sleeve, stuffed the note and the notebook into her pocket and stood up. The sun was just setting over the Chinese mountains and she saw that Omi and the others were leaving the kitchen. She sighed as she slowly began to make her way back down to the temple.

It was dark when she got back to the temple; she silently tiptoed into the dormitory and checked that everyone was asleep. She crept into her room, grabbed her bag and began to fill it with her clothes and valuables. She looked down and saw there was a singed box on the floor. She bent down and picked it up, she sighed as she remembered that it was the box that she used to keep her photos in. She pulled the photos out and began to look through; a small smile began to grow on her face as she remembered the memories behind those photos. There were pictures of Omi showing off; Raimundo was pulling faces and Clay being camera shy. Her smile spread across her face when she saw pictures of her with the others, she could tell when Omi was taking the photo because it was at a strange angle. She flipped through more of the photos and stopped, there was Ryan; he was standing with Raimundo and Omi, another one he was standing with Clay, trying to get him to look at the camera. But the last photo, Ryan had Kimiko around the waist, pulling her towards him trying to hold her still for the shot. Kimiko breathed in heavily as tears fell from her eyes and fell onto the picture.

She ran one hand over his chest and felt his body heat radiate from it. She looked up at Ryan, who smiled back, and slowly, their heads began to move together.

"Kimiko…" said Ryan.

"Don't ruin it…please…" whispered Kimiko as she felt Ryan's breathe on her lips.

"You sure?" whispered Ryan.

"Ryan…" whispered Kimiko "I want you…Their first kiss…

She sighed as she left the dormitory with her bag and headed into the kitchen. She began to pull out food to take with her on her journey, but found it hard to even focus on one task as more painful memories filled her head.

Kimiko felt her pulse rise as she felt his arms move up her body, until they were resting on her shoulders, and slowly, he began to pull her head towards his.

"Ryan…" whispered Kimiko, as she felt Ryan's soft breath move across his cheek like a feather, "I don't know what it is about you that makes me feel this way…I love you Ryan…"

"I Love you too…Kimiko…"…Their first confession of their love…

She sniffed as she swung her bag onto her back, left her note on the table and stepped out into the cold air. She shivered as she pulled her robes so it covered her as much as possible and she started walking towards the main gate.

"Ryan…" sighed Kimiko as she looked up at him, "I'm beginning to remember why I fell for you…"

Ryan said nothing, he tighter his arms around her so he pulled her closer. She smiled at him, her heart began beating wildly as she gazed deeper into his eyes. And slowly, their heads began to move closer to each other.

"I love you Ryan…" murmured Kimiko as she closed her eyes, her hands moved up around his head.

"I love you too…"

She looked behind her as she took one last look at the temple; she sighed as she lowered her head and turned away, still wiping the tears away.

Kimiko smile got bigger as she put her arms around him, it did feel good and she loved every moment of it. Her arms moved up towards Ryan's head, and slowly she pulled him down to her lips.

"Together again at last…" sighed Kimiko, she closed her eyes as their heads got closer.

"Let's hope this will last longer this time" said Ryan.

"Don't you worry…" said Kimiko "It will"

She began to walk, not caring where she was going. As she walked out of the gates, she stopped and looked up a nearby hill; on top was the statue where they held the remembrance ceremony that day. She slowly walked towards it and looked up at it. As she looked at the statue, the clouds above her began to rumble and the wind around her began to pick up. She ran her eyes across the names again and saw Ryan's, but instead of crying, a small smile began to grow on her face.

"Thank you…" whispered Kimiko "You showed me what its like to be truly loved…Even if I'm a failure as a Xiaolin Dragon…You made it worth while…So I'm just saying goodbye to you before I head back to Tokyo to restart my life…"

She looked down as she saw the Tesla Dynamo sitting among the flowers. She sighed as she picked it up and looked at it.

"Even though you're gone…" said Kimiko "It's like…you're right here with me…"

He smile got a little bigger as she looked back at the statue.

"That's because you are…" said Kimiko "You're always with me…in my heart…" She raised her arm and strapped the Tesla Dynamo to it. A familiar sensation filled her arm as the metal ball pooped up from it.

"Ahh…" sighed Kimiko as she watched sparks jump from her arm, "Just like Ryan used to do…"

She stepped away from the statue and began to draw power from the Tesla Dynamo; she felt electricity build up in her.

"Wudai Supernova Thunder!" yelled Kimiko as she thrust her arms forward. She was expecting a ball of yellow energy, but nothing happened. She stood there for a moment; the sound of rumbling thunder was getting louder, as if the thunder clouds were right above her.

"Wudai Supernova Thunder!" yelled Kimiko again. She began to shake her arm, trying to get a ball of energy to come out, but nothing happened. She sighed as she began to focus her chi, trying to boost her powers.

"Wudai Supernova Thunder!" yelled Kimiko. Suddenly a bolt of lighting fell from the sky and hit a tree near her hard, sending burning bits of wood everywhere. She groaned as she slouched to the ground.

"Look at me…Useless…" sighed Kimiko "I'm useless without you Ryan…"

She sniffed as she began to cry again.

"Why…" cried Kimiko as she put her head in her hands, "Why did you have to die?"

She continued to cry as she slowly got to her feet, she took on last look at the Tesla Dynamo before she reached out to take it off.

"No" said a voice behind her, "Keep trying…"

Kimiko gasped as she felt someone's hand touch her arm and straightened it out. Instead of pulling her arm away, something about that person's touch made her stop.

"You do it like this…" said the voice "Wudai Supernova Thunder!"

Kimiko gasped as a ball of yellow energy suddenly floated from her fingers and flew through the air before exploding in a shower of sparks. Kimiko gasped in awe as she watched the sparks rain from the sky. She then slowly turned around to see who helped her and gasped.

"You did well there, Kimiko" said the voice "Almost as good as me…"

The italic bits were what I think were the most romantic moment of Ryan and Kimiko's relationship from LotTC and TBotD, shame that Ryan is dead…Or is he? R&R! See you tomorrow!
