I am so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sorry for such the late update. School is really busy for me. I'm taking hard classes, doing cross-country and later will do soccer. Again I'm so so sorry for the late update and I promise I'll try and get the next capter up soon.

Chapter 18

The Elimination

The one big ice, fire, and electric rock that was hurdled at Wuya broke down into little rocks. Soon many ice, fire, and electric rocks were headed Wuya's way. Wuya's eyes widened as she saw all the attacks that were coming. She tried to hide behind Raimundo, but the attacks swerved around Raimundo and hit Wuya. She flew back from the force of the attack and hit a tree along the way. Hannibal landed on the ground a few feet away from her.

Raimundo was standing there with a shocked look on his face. Finally Raimundo stuttered, "W… What just happened."

Selina smirked as she said, "We just worked as a team and kicked both Wuya and Hannibal's butts."

"Ah." Was all Raimundo could say.

"Now how about we finish them off once and for all." Selina suggested.

"Yeah." Kimiko replied.

"Sounds good to me." Clay said.

"That sounds like a most brilliant idea." Omi responded.

"I'm all for it." Raimundo stated.

"Great, then lets do it." Selina declared.

"Wudai Mars Fire!"

"Wudai Carter Earth!"

"Wudai Neptune Water!"

"Wudai Star Wind!"

The four attacks came together and formed a beam of red, green, blue, and white energy that all blended together. It surrounded Wuya and Hannibal and trapped them.

Selina closed her eyes, held the Locket of Souls in the air and muttered, "Flame of the mountains, Rocks of the ground, Water of the sea, Wind of the air, grant me the power to banish these two evils before me. Azarath Metrione Zinthos!"

Suddenly a bright light filled the entire area. When it died down Wuya and Hannibal were nowhere to be seen. Everyone, except Selina, gasped when they saw that they were gone.

"Wh…What happened to Wuya and Hannibal?" Raimundo asked.

"I trapped them." Selina responded.

"Where?"

"In the Locket of Souls."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"You know how to use it?"

"Yeah remember I told you, when we were on Dojo, that Chase taught me how to use it."

"Oh yeah."

"Now come on we should be heading back to the temple."

"Oh right a course."

Dojo then proceeded to enlarge himself and waited until all five of the Xiaolin Dragons were on him before he took off. Omi took the front, Kimiko came behind him, Clay went behind Kimiko, Selina was behind Clay and Raimundo was behind Selina.

Ten minutes after Dojo had taken off Raimundo slightly leaned into the person in front of him and whispered, "Hey Selina."

She turned her head and replied, "Yeah."

"Did you say I was your boyfriend?"

Selina thought for a moment before saying, "When?"

"Right before you, Clay, Kimiko, and Omi attacked Wuya together."

"Oh… ummm… well… I…I don't know."

"Right." Raimundo said very unconvinced. "I clearly heard you say boyfriend."

"Oh…well I guess that was just a slip of the tongue." Selina said with a slight blush on her checks.

Raimundo raised an eyebrow but let it go. After a few more minutes of silence Raimundo asked, "Selina is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Selina looked at him and said very confused, "Like what?"

"Oh I don't know like us maybe."

A deep blush was visible on Selina's check as she asked "What about us?"

Raimundo took a deep breath before he asked. "Selina, do you like me?"

"Yes kind of." She mumbled nervously.

Raimundo heard her mumble the words but couldn't discern what she had said. He hoped it was yes as he was now going to confess how he felt about her. "Selina I need to tell you something." Raimundo said very nervously.

"Ok, what is it?" Selina asked, nervous that Raimundo would say that he hated her.

"Selina, I ummm… I…I like you."

"What? You do?"

"Yeah I do."

Selina's eyes brightened as she responded, "So do I." When she said that, she hugged Raimundo. Raimundo hugged her back and a smile could be seen on his face. The two stayed in the hug for a few minutes before they slowly broke out of it.

The two were silent for few minutes before Raimundo said slyly, "So you think of me as your boyfriend."

Selina blushed and looked away but didn't reply. Raimundo spared her a smile and said, "Hey it's nothing to get all embarrassed about."

She looked up and said, "Really?"

"Really," Raimundo confirmed. "Besides if you want me to be your boyfriend all you have to do is ask."

Selina was silent for a few minutes before she asked, "Raimundo will you umm… umm… want to umm… be my umm… boyfriend?" Selina asked nervously quickly looking away.

Raimundo smiled at her and said, "A course I will. You mean more to me than anyone else in the world."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Oh Raimundo." Selina said hugging him with tears in her eyes. "So do you."

Finally she let go of Raimundo, smiled at him and turned back around in her seat.

The two both had smiles on their faces all the way back to the temple.
