Night had befallen on the Temple grounds, as the moon shone brightly in the star lit sky. It had been hours since Clay and Kimiko had conversed in the garden. Kimiko now lay fast asleep in her bed, trapped in a deep almost never ending dream.

Dream

Kimiko found herself wandering through a dark and grave place, which reminded her an awful lot like the YinYang world. "Where am I?" Kimiko said as she kept wandering aimlessly through the darkness. As she kept walking, she started become quit frightened. "There's got to be some way out of here," Kimiko said, speeding up her pace." Hey Kimiko, over here!" a familiar voice screamed.

"Rai! Is that you?" Kimiko said as she spotted Rai, Jack, and Omi in front of her. "Oh Kimiko! I am most glad we have found you!" Omi yelled as he waved over to her. "Hey hurry up Kimiko!" Jack said as he and the others began to walk towards her. Kimiko picked up her pace and steadily walked towards them. "I'm so happy I found you guys, I was beginning to thi…"But Kimiko's words caught in her throat as Wuya appeared behind the boys, giving them her evil grin.

Kimiko gasped and ran towards the others. "Guys look out! Wuya is right behind you" Kimiko said as she drew closer to them. The guys just keep smiling and walking towards her. As Kimiko was nearly a foot away from them, she reached out her hands to push them away, but in an instant they were stuck down by Wuyas powerful blast of energy!

"NOOOOOOOOOOO" Kimiko screamed as tears streamed from her eyes. Wuya let out a laugh and turned to Kimiko as another ball of energy formed in her hand. "Farwell dragon of fire!" Wuya screamed as she launched the energy ball at her! 'No! Not again' Kimiko thought as she stared straight at the energy ball coming towards her!

"KIMIKO! Get down!" Kimiko gasped as she watched Clay jump in front of the blast, just as she had done for him. "Clay…NO!" Kimiko screamed as Clay was shot down, bleeding badly in front of her. "Clay! Clay! CLAY!" Kimiko screamed, running towards Clays fallen form. 'No not Clay too!' Kimiko thought as she came to Clays fallen form. She reached down to check to make sure he was still alive. Just then Clays body disappeared!

"Oh No Clay" Kimiko said looking around for her fallen friend. Suddenly Kimiko felt a cold hand wrap around her arm and lift her into the air. "Now its your turn Kimiko" Wuya said squeezing Kimiko's arm harder as the Haylin witch's hand began to glow green. Kimiko tried hard to get out of the witches firm grip. Wuya s hand's lunged towards Kimikos unprotected chest. "No…No…No..NOOOO!" Kimiko screamed as green energy engulfed her sight

End dream

"NOOOOOOOO!" Kimiko screamed as she jolted up from her bed. "A dream it was all a dream!' Kimiko thought as she began to cry. Just then Kimikos door burst open, as Clay stood in the doorway staring at her with worried eyes.

"Kimmy! Are you alright?" Clay said noticing the tears in her eyes as he walked over to her shivering form. "Nightmare" Kimiko whispered as she clutched her covers close to her chest. Clay frowned and took a seat next her. "It must have been pretty bad if I could hear you screaming loud and clear all the way in my room." Clay said, wrapping his arms around the shivering girl.

"It was about the battle. Everyone was killed" Kimiko whispered sadly as she leaned into Clays chest. "Everyone was killed, and I couldn't save them!" Kimiko said through tears as she cried into Clays bare chest. Clay sighed angrily as he pulled Kimiko close to him. "Its alright Kimmy. It was all just a dream. No one was killed, were all here and safe." Clay said rubbing her back.

"You were killed by Wuya. She did the same thing to you that she did to me!" Kimiko cried as she pulled away from Clay and grabbed the stuffed Panda that her papa had given her when she was two-years-old. Clay clinched his fist as he recalled how Kimiko had looked after Wuya had hurt her. He had hoped that she would never have to witness something like that in her life, even in her dreams.

"Oh Kimiko" Clay said as he pulled her into a hug. "Everything OK now. It was all just a bad dream. Wuya will NEVER be able hurt me, Rai, or anyone else like ever again. I promise you that," Clay said as Kimiko looked up at him and smiled weakly. "Clay?" Kimiko whispered, "Could I stay with you tonight?" Kimko asked as she leaned into Clays chest again. Clay smiled at the girl and picked her up bridal style. "Of course ya can Kimiko!" Clay said as he carried her to his room and placed her on his bed and lay down next to her. Kimiko smiled and cuddled close to Clay and slowly drifted back to sleep.

Clay looked down at the sleeping Japanese and smiled as he moved a lose strand of hair from her face. 'Sleep tight Kimiko" Clay thought as he wrapped his arms around Kimiko's sleeping form and drifted off to sleep.

Ahhh man my hand hurts now, dangit!! This one was hard to think up, but I think it turned out pretty well in the end. So go on and tell me what you think OK.
