Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown

I am so so so so so so so so sorry for not updating in a month. I had homework to do trips to go on and writers block to deal with, but I promise to try to get the next chapter out ASAP. My goal is to get Chapter 15 out by Wednesday because you guys had to wait so long for this one. Anyway without further ado here is chapter 14.

Chapter 14

Confusing Emotions

Selina sat in her room while contemplating everything that had taken place in the last twenty-four hours. She was wondering if she had made the right decision about going with the monks. Her father was Dashi, but Chase had been the one who had raised her, her entire life.

She sighed as she sprawled herself onto her bed and tried to sort out her thoughts. She honestly didn't know what she was going to do. She wanted to go back with Chase but another other part of her wanted to stay at the temple. It was starting to drive her crazy, all the emotions, that she was experiencing at the moment. Suddenly she was brought out of her reverie when someone knocked on her door. She glanced at her door before she replied, "Who is it?"

"It's Raimundo," Raimundo answered.

"What do you want, Raimundo?" Selina replied a bit harshly.

"I just came by to tell you that dinner is ready." Raimundo said.

"Oh ok, I'll be there in a sec, ok?"

"Ok."

Selina sighed as she opened the door and trudged down the hallway to the dining room. She entered and saw all the monks sitting around eating dinner. She went to the end of the table and sat down.

"So Selina," said Kimiko, "How are you feeling?"

"Confused."

"Oh…"

"Do you want any egg rolls?" Clay asked hoping to change the subject.

She glanced up at him and said, "Sure." Clay handed her the plate of egg rolls and she took it. She placed them by her and transferred three egg rolls from that plate to hers. Looking up she asked, "Does anyone else want egg rolls?"

"Oh yes, I would." Omi replied.

Selina picked up the plate and handed it to Omi who took it eagerly.

"So," Raimundo said, "Are you going to do anything tomorrow?"

"Yeah, train." Selina said.

"What!" Raimundo exclaimed, "On the weekend."

Selina shrugged her shoulders, "Yeah, why not?"

"We have the whole day off to do whatever we want." Raimundo argued.

Selina glared at Raimundo before saying; "Fine, then I'll spend the day in my room trying to sort out all the emotions in me." After she said that, she got up and left to go to her room.

The room was silent for a few minutes before Raimundo got up and mumbled something incoherent under his breath. He left the dining room and went into the garden to try and calm himself down.

Selina was in her room just pacing around trying to sort out all the emotions that had plagued her. She felt confused, angry, scared, and happy all at the same time. She closed her eyes, stopped pacing and took a deep breath in and slowly released it. She tried to calm her mind down and forget about everything that had happened that day but failed miserably. Finally she flung herself on her bed hoping to get rid of all the thoughts that had invaded her head.

Raimundo was pacing around the garden replaying everything that had happened that day. He groaned as all the emotions he felt came back. He felt scared, happy, and angry all at the same time. He just wanted to fling all those emotions out of him, but they refused to budge. Finally he sighed as he realized that they weren't going to leave him. He decided he should go see how Selina was considering if he was having trouble with these emotions, Selina was probably having it worse than him.

Selina heard a knock on her day about five minutes after she had flung herself on her bed. She turned over so she was on her back and said, "Who is it?"

"It's me."

"What do you want?"

"I just wanted to see how you were doing." Raimundo answered back innocently.

Selina sighed but said, "I'm fine."

"Can I come in?" Raimundo asked

"Why?"

"To make sure that you are, ok."

Selina let out another sigh but said, "Fine, you can come in."

The door opened and Raimundo quietly went into Selina's room.

"Hey, are you ok?" Raimundo asked softly.

Selina sighed and said, "I don't know. I feel so confused."

Raimundo nodded his head and said, "I know what you mean."

Selina sat up on her bed and looked at him and said, "You do?"

"Yeah I do, except you probably have it worse."

"Yeah, probably." Selina sighed again before saying, "Jeez, I'm so confused."

Raimundo went over to where she was on the bed and hugged her. Selina was startled at first but slowly let herself calm down. She didn't know what it was, but Raimundo just seemed to be able to calm her down. She liked it whenever Raimundo was around, and was currently enjoying being in his arms.

Raimundo didn't know what it was but Selina just seemed to calm him down. He was especially enjoying being in Selina's arms, but then whenever she was around Raimundo always enjoyed it, mostly.

The two stayed in a hug for about a half hour just forgetting about their problems and only thinking about the other. Finally they pulled out of their hug and looked into the others' eyes. A faint smile came across Selina's face as she murmured a thanks to Raimundo.

Raimundo returned her smile with one of his own as he mumbled, "Don't mention it."

Selina's checks flushed a faint red before she replied, "You really helped me a lot. You don't realize how much that means to me."

"Actually I do know," Raimundo said, "Besides you helped me out a lot too."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"How?"

"Well, I'm not feeling quite as emotional as before."

"Yeah, me too."

"So, are you going to stay?" Raimundo questioned.

"Yeah I am. Thanks for asking." Selina replied.

"No problem." Raimundo said. He smiled at her before saying, "Well, I should probably be going now."

"Yeah, ok. Thanks for dropping by."

"Your welcome." Raimundo said as he got to the door. He turned around and said, "Good night, Selina."

She smiled at him and said, "Good night, Raimundo."

Raimundo turned around, opened the door, gave her one last glance and left.

Selina sighed as she looked up at the ceiling and smiled. It looked liked her luck was finally going to change.

Please R&R and again sorry for the long wait.
