Chapter 9

Selina's Plan: Part Three

Selina woke up the next day with a small smirk on her lips, for today would be the day that the third part of her plan would begin. She quickly got out of bed and went over to her closet in order to change. First she pulled on a plain yellow shirt whose sleeves ended between her shoulders and elbows. Next she then put on some light blue jeans to complement her shirt. Then she went into her bathroom in order to brush her hair out. Upon doing that she decided to keep her hair down. Finally she went back to her bedroom and slipped on her favorite pair of yellow sandals. When she was done getting dressed outside, she headed toward the dining room.

Raimundo woke up that day feeling very confused. He just didn't understand Selina anymore. The Selina he knew would have never acted like this. She also would have tried to escape from the temple numerous times. Nothing added up anymore. Though he hadn't seen her in about five years. He guessed that five years might have been long enough to change who Selina used to be. Though he was still suspicious of her. He knew that she was up to something. However Selina was right when she had said that if she was up to something then she would have already done it. He sighed as all those thoughts entered into his mind. Finally he decided to go down to the dining room for some breakfast.

When Raimundo got there he saw that everyone else was already eating. Raimundo sat down and started to eat his breakfast himself. Everyone at the table was deathly silent; the only noise that could be heard was the chirping of birds outside.

Finally Selina got up and put her dishes in the sink. She looked back and saw Raimundo coming towards her in order to put his dishes in the sink too. When he got there Selina whispered in his ear, "Meet me in the garden in five minutes." Raimundo turned around and watched Selina leave while contemplating why she wanted him to met her in the garden. Raimundo shrugged, though suspicion entered into his mind, which he was sure to heed.

In the Garden

Raimundo cautiously entered the garden armed with the Eye of Dashi, Silk Spitter, Shadow Slicer, and the Golden Tiger Claws. There was no way that Raimundo was going to trust Selina fully. He found her sitting on a bench in the middle of the garden. She was looking around the garden, while taking in its beauty. Finally her gaze rested on Raimundo. A smile appeared on her face when she saw him and immediately gestured Raimundo over to where she was. Raimundo hesitated but started to go over to where Selina was sitting. Selina got up from where she was sitting and motioned for Raimundo to follow her through the garden.

As they walked Raimundo looked at her and asked a little harshly, "What do you want?"

She looked at him and said, "I just want to talk to you. Is that a crime?"

Raimundo looked at her with a skeptical look in his eyes and replied, "No, but why do you have to talk to me here?"

She looked at him and said, "Well, I want to talk about something that I've been thinking about."

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Really…What?"

She looked down at her feet before looking at Raimundo and said, "Raimundo I've just been thinking about all that has been going on and well…I'm sorry. I know that we don't have the best history together. I know that in the past I was with Chase working for the Heylin side, but all that is in the past now. It's been five years since any of that has happened and well I guess I just need to move on." She chuckled lightly. "The only problem is I'm not sure if I can fully move on without your help."

"And how exactly am I suppose to help you with that?" Raimundo asked.

"Well you can show me how much more better the Xiaolin side is than the Heylin side. You can also help me by treating me differently.

Raimundo rolled his eyes before replying, "How differently?"

"Well I was thinking of being a Xiaolin Dragon." Selina replied with a sweet smile across her face.

"What!" Raimundo exclaimed. "You're joking, right?"

"No, I'm not joking I'm being serious, Raimundo. The only problem I'm having is that I'm not sure if I'm ready to become one yet." She said. "Please, you have to help me." She pleaded. "I'll give you time to think about it, ok? Meet me here in a week and tell me what you think, ok?" Raimundo could only nod his head yes. Selina smiled and said, "Thanks." Then she left the garden to give Raimundo a little bit of time to think about what she had just said. Finally Raimundo headed out of the gardens and to the training grounds for the monks morning training with Master Fung.

Selina was in her room with a smirk on her face. Everything was going exactly according to the plan. She was sure that the next time she would met Raimundo, he would be less prepared then he had been now. She knew that he had four Shen Gong Wu with him just in case something happened. She was sure that Raimundo would be more comfortable with her in the garden after today.

A Week Later

Selina got out of bed and stared at her clock, which read 6:55. Her eyes widened. Slowly, she let herself relax while a smirk formed on her face. Then she quickly went in her bathroom to bush her hair out before heading to the dining room in her pajamas. She was wearing a long sleeved shirt that was blue with white clouds on it. She had the same design for the bottom half of her pajamas.

The monks could only stare at Selina when she entered in her pajamas. They could tell that she had obviously overslept. Raimundo thought that it was a bit weird that Selina had overslept considering that she was an early riser, but he just shrugged it off and continued eating his breakfast. He placed his plate in the sink when he was done and turned around to find Selina just finishing breakfast

When Selina was done with her breakfast she went to the sink to place her plate in it. When she turned around, she saw Raimundo there waiting to tell her something. After she put her plate in the sink Raimundo looked at her and said, "Meet me in the garden in five minutes, ok?"

Selina looked at Raimundo before laughing. "Please, do you honestly think I'm going to meet you in the garden in my pajamas?"

"Well can't you get changed in five minutes to meet me?" Raimundo questioned.

"Sorry," Selina said, "I can't. I first need to take a shower first before I change. You're just going to have to wait until after your training session is over to come meet me in the garden, ok?"

Raimundo sighed, "Fine."

"Good." Selina said, "See you later." After she said that she headed off to her room to take a shower. Raimundo on the other hand headed to the training grounds.

When Selina got to the room, she went over to the bathroom to take a shower. She went into her room with a towel wrapped around her when she was done. She went over to her closet and pulled out a plain red tank top. Then she pulled out some black plants and she put them both on. She bent down and pulled out black shoes with red stripes on them. After rummaging though her closet she pulled out red socks with black stripes. After she put those on she combed her hair and put it into a bun. Then she pulled her dresser open and took a dagger out of it. She placed her dagger on the left side of her hip underneath her pants so that it wasn't visible. She then left her room and headed towards the garden. She sat down on a bench and waited for Raimundo to be done with his training session.

Raimundo entered the garden and saw Selina sitting on a bench and immediately went over to her. He still didn't trust her fully, but he trusted her for the most part. He still had his guard up as he approached Selina, but he only brought along the Golden Tiger Claws in case something should happen.

Selina got up and turned around as she heard footsteps start to approach her. She started to smile once she saw Raimundo approach her. When he was right in front of her she said, "Hello Raimundo."

"Hey Selina," he said.

"So, have you thought about what I said last week," asked Selina

"Yeah I have and I just wanted to say that I will help you." Raimundo assured.

"Thank you Raimundo, you don't know how much this means to me." Selina said very excitedly as she pulled him into a hug.

Raimundo was shocked when Selina had hugged him, but he managed to say, "You're welcome."

"Oh and I need to tell you something else, Raimundo." Selina said harmoniously.

Raimundo was a bit befuddled as to what it might be but said, "What?"

She leaned towards Raimundo so that she could whisper into his ear, "Trusting me will be the final mistake you make."

After she said that she jumped into the air and kicked Raimundo in the stomach. Raimundo doubled over and Selina took out her dagger. Selina grabbed a hold of Raimundo's right shoulder and yanked him up. She held the dragger in her hand with every intent of plunging it through his heart. Before her hand could come down for the kill Raimundo kicked her right shin. Selina loosened her grip on Raimundo while Raimundo pulled himself out of her grasp. Raimundo narrowed his eyes at Selina and he punched her in the face. He then went to punch her in the stomach, but she moved out of the way at the last second. He whirled around to face her only to have her fist collide with his face. He took a few steps back trying to get his focus back. He saw a blurry looking Selina coming his way and as quick as a flash he rolled out of her way before her dagger could get to him. He slowly got up without his vision being blurred and saw Selina turn around and aim her dagger to his stomach. Raimundo jumped in the air and flipped over her head. He winced a little when he hit the ground because he was still a little sore from the training session with Master Fung.

Selina turned around and rapidly went to where Raimundo was and struck him on the head with the hilt of her dagger.

Raimundo stumbled a few steps forward trying not to loose consciousness as his vision became very hazy. He ran as fast as he could away from Selina before she could inflict any more damage on him. He heard her footsteps following him from behind. He shut his eyes and tried to focus on flipping over Selina. Finally his head grew a little clearer and jumped in the air and back flipped over her. He focused on his element even though his vision was still slightly blurred. He gathered all the wind he could summon up and knocked Selina into a bench with it. She hit her shins on it and flipped over it landing on her back. Her dagger left her hands and landed on the ground a few feet away from her. Raimundo hobbled over to where she was and knocked her unconscious when his fist collided with her face. He pulled out the Golden Tiger Claws and slashed the air with it creating a portal to appear. He then dragged himself and Selina inside of it.

The rest of the monks arrived at the garden wondering where both Raimundo and Selina might have been. When they got there they saw Raimundo just leaving by going through the portal he had created using the Golden Tiger Claws.

I will give a cookie to anyone who can tell me where Raimundo went. R&R.
