Whew! That took me some time to write, but it all just came to me! Yes…this is this story's finale, and I think it's alright if not good. Now, I would really like to thank the TWO PEOPLE WHO REVIEWED MY LAST CHAPTER and I am more than happy to say that this story is DONE. If nobody wants to review it and tell me if I should write a sequel, I will just end it here. But PLEASE, no matter how bad it is or disappointed you are, PLEASE R&R. Thank you.
Chapter Thirteen
Kimiko's Point of View
After the dark versions I could have told to be each of us, I was crying for everything in the world that I cherished, but after one strike on the face, I went void.
It wasn't the feeling of fainting where everything is black but you know you're still there. It was a forbidden branch of emotion that I never experienced, but knew of clearly and thought of time to time.
I was falling into nothing, and it precisely resembled heartbreak and despair of such. I knew I was dying, and by the way I was feeling, I was almost certain I was going to Hell. But one thing changed that. As if a giant, invisible hand broke my fall and gently grasped me with comfort, a force began to pull me up from the trench of death and pulled me higher and higher. A feeling of fuzziness and bubbling in my body, I gently fluttered my eyes open.
The light – the bright light both burned my eyes and amazed me to the extent that I had to keep my eyes open.
Was it Heaven's light? I wasn't sure if it was or not, but I knew for certain that I was in good hands, so in a moment of wonder, I tried to look below me to see where I rose from, but a few inches from my face was a steel wall as, in a strange mental experience, I jumped back into reality as I fell. It didn't hurt, for I was physically there already, but it was like my soul and my life force fluttered back into my body. The steel wall was nothing but the bottom of a cage I realized I was stuck in with a half-conscious Omi and Clay. They were splattered in crimson blood, and looking upon my own body, I was too. I grimaced in the state of my sore body when I looked out to find the same light I had seen. It was beautiful, like Heaven's orb of radiance showed its beams of beauty upon the earth. When I looked closer at the beams, I found something odd – the color was green! I was befuddled at the time, and I looked closer at the sphere of illumination and I comprehended that the wielder of the wonder was none other than Raimundo.
My Raimundo…He found his Wudai Chi – in his courage, his boldness, his arrogance.
I tried my best to smile as the hero of the day was my Raimundo and no other. I hadn't a clue how I had revived, but then I was sure. Next to that, the horrible Antis seemed to be dissolving in his vivacious Chi. Somehow, Raimundo's Wudai Chi gave off a justice spirit, healing the good and weakening the evil. Looking around, the ugly hag Wuya and a damp Chase tried to run from his light. Lowering my head, I really wished I could help him in any way possible, but knew I couldn't.
In an instant, I was shrouded by a scarlet blaze. While gasping in awe, I began to feel a little faint, yet sort of ticklish. An automatic cogency forced my arms up and the all the red light seemed to drain from the body and force its power into my arms like cannons, and, like bolts of thunder, pink rays flashed upon the two villains and, as I saw it, paralyzed them. They shouted in anger, but my Chi must have made their throats numb because their mouths froze in place and there was no noise.
I was content because then I knew that they were trapped. I was about to rest my head a little bit – it was aching – but, the most crazy thing happened in the entire state of my life. When the emerald rays crashed upon the cherry bolts of mine, the chi colors mixed to form the most beautiful shade of amethyst.
'And a flush of deep crimson-violet for bottomless affection…'
I quickly went to stare at Raimundo, but he was cataleptic at the time, so he probably had no idea what was happening. Confused, I thought, 'Weird…is bottomless affection enough if it's just from one?' Then I had a crazy thought. 'No way…is it even possible?' Remembering that fight we had, shook it off I did. But still. Maybe…
In a literal flash, everything was gone. The cage surrounding Clay, Omi, and me broke away; the four Antis, Wuya, and Chase disappeared, and I felt better than ever. I flashed a smile at Omi and Clay, who were jumping around with bemused joy, then at Raimundo, who was wounded and, still, comatose.
With an intake of worried breath, I ran to him as fast as I could, starting to feel flaming tears in my eyes. As I got close enough, though, I sensed a power of happiness. I had no idea how…
It was like a sixth sense…
I felt like I could feel it, and it seems like I could describe it, but something told me that he was perfectly alright. I didn't know what it was, but I trusted it completely
One way or another I knew this, and the corners of my mouth began to rise as I gave a brisk sigh. The tears, of course, still ran down my face like the rage of a waterfall, but it happened.
He enraged my mind.
He saved the day.
But most importantly…
He calmed my soul.
The wind luminary's head I held in my arms as my comrades came with also concerned countenances and a slithering green dragon came into view. "Hey guys!" Dojo exclaimed. "I am so glad I found you guys – that you are all alright!" One look at Raimundo and he frowned. "Except for him! Oh my Lord! Is he dead? We need to rush him to a hospital, and fast!"
When I didn't budge, he gave me a suspicious and hurrying look. "Hey…what are you doing? Hurry it up!"
I smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, he's okay."
"How do you know?"
I shrugged and gave him a small smile. "I just do."
I kept that smile on my face as I helped Raimundo's body onto the body of Dojo as we soared off to the skies.
Raimundo's Point of View
Ugh.
I was so dang sore, and everything stung…but the fact that I could feel meant that I was conscious again. Looking up, I was in a bed, covered in bandages from my forehead to my foot. With much pain, I rose from the bed and stepped out. I grimaced as I realized I was shirtless and in my boxers, but my chest was covered with fastenings too. Next to the comfortable cot were two crutches, so I began to limp out of the door.
Wincing in the newfound light, I made a few detours because I collided into some walls by blinded idiocy until I found my way outside into the park. When I stepped into the weather, I shuddered as the whispers of the wind brushed about my bare shoulders. And as I strode to the fountain, I noticed three figures waiting for me.
They stared at me just like the Antis, but with so much more concern.
"Hey guys," I pronounced slowly. "What's up?"
Omi displayed a look of certain disquiet as Clay said, "Why are you out of bed and out of the inside? Why, you were torched up like a –"
Interrupting his pathetic simile, Omi exclaimed, "I saw what you did was amazing! It was probably even more awesome than ME! Wow, it was a real view for injured spectacles!"
"I think you mean 'sight for soar eyes,'" explained Clay amusedly. "Now I think we should leave these two lovebirds alone."
Kimiko's Point of View
Before I could smack Clay for calling me and Raimundo "lovebirds," he and Omi ran off into the building. For a while neither Raimundo nor I said anything at all until he finally said, "Hey."
"Hey," I replied with a shy chuckle.
Third Person Limited Point of View
They looked at each other they did, his jade green eyes and her sapphire ones. They both noticed they were staring at the other, and they turned away in opposite directions, flushing the deepest shade of burgundy. But with this look, somehow their eyes told each other, 'I am sorry for everything I did to you.'
Finally, the girl gained courage to turn around and speak. "Well, like Omi said, you really did something back there at Chase's place."
Also turning around, he asked with much curiosity, "What did I do?"
She stood up from her seat by the fountain and started crying out happily, "You don't remember? It was honestly remarkable! You were blasting your rays, and I assisted you with my bolts and…" Her voice wandered as she gave him a funny look. "You don't remember?"
Giving a shrug, he shook his head.
In reply she looked into the fountain and kicked the ripples. She looked mesmerized by its spectrum of colors as she mumbled, "Well, when our Chi Formations became mixed, it became deep purple."
Like a bullet, his head shot up in amazement. He felt himself blush as he asked her, stumbling, "Well, isn't that the form of bottomless affection?"
Kimiko's Point of View
I wanted to tell him, I honestly did. He was so handsome with his element buffing his image, his hair in the way of the breeze. No cocky look on his face, he looked innocent. There he was…my Raimundo. I have no idea, but how can someone be naively cute, sexily hot, and ravishingly handsome at the same time? How can someone be so stupid and be so smart? How can someone be so imperfectly perfect?
And without a second thought about what I would keep inside my head and what I should say, I briskly shrugged my shoulders and blurted out, "I dunno, you tell me." Realizing I said that, I gradually turned around, blushed, and walked back inside to suffer less embarrassment. He was so wonderful, and that was the perfect moment, but when I went inside, ran to my room and closed the curtains, my sixth sense told me…
Raimundo's Point of View
Discomfited to say the least, I just indirectly asked Kimiko if she loved me. Waiting for the answer that could change the course of my life, all she did was nonchalantly shrug and say, "I dunno, you tell me." And like that, my chances at going steady were immediately crushed as she casually walked back into the temple building. I felt like I was going to throw up, but right then and there, I smiled.
No reason, but I just smiled. I had that stupid grin on my face as I, too, walked back into the building, following her footsteps and going to my room.
Also clueless in that particular position, my sixth sense that told me I had guts. It told me…
Third Person Limited Point of View
'Take your time.'
And as both this boy and girl's story as old as time unfolded, they couldn't help but wonder…if the Anti Chi was conquered, wasn't it supposed to reenter the heroes' bodies?
Ruwot: They got their Chi, they were hinted that they like each other, and the day is saved. Any revolts?
Dojo: They didn't confess!
Clay: They didn't kiss!
Omi: They didn't compliment me!
Ruwot: Oh, right…well, that will happen in the sequel to this story. Look out for a story called Their Dictionary. If I get more than five reviews, then I'll write it. Please tune in, and if you do, you should R&R…please and thank you!
