"Rai, I need advice," Kimiko stated as they walked through the garden.

"Yeah?" Raimundo asked, cocking an eye brow.

"There's this guy… that I really like," Kimiko blushed, "but I don't know how to tell him how I feel."

Raimundo could feel his heart beating quickly, his hands began to sweat, "Why don't you just tell him?"

"I don't know how to tell him," Kimiko stated, "he's one of the sweetest guys I've ever met…and I don't know what or how to tell him that I like him."

"Well, you can just be yourself for starters," the Shoku Warrior stated.

"Okay," she nodded.

"And then you just tell him," Raimundo stated, "and maybe ask them out, too."

"Please, let this guy be me," Rai thought.

"Thanks Rai," Kimiko stated her expression bright. She kissed him on the cheek before running off.

"Yup, it's definitely me," he nodded grinning from ear to ear.

"I'm finally going to tell him…" Kimiko thought her blue eyes twinkling, "I'm really going to do it this time!"

Clay yanked the weeds from the earth as he worked in the garden. He wiped the sweat of his brow as he continued.

After all the time at the Xiaolin Temple, Clay began to slim down, but muscle up. On many Shen-gong-wu hunts, instead of all the ladies swooning over Raimundo, they've been swooning over Clay, and who wouldn't.

He had an eight pack, his biceps and triceps were slightly visible, but he still held the chivalry that he had for his entire life. Many times a girl would ask the eighteen year old Texan if they could go out.

He would always turn her down politely, saying that he really liked this one girl.

Kimiko always thought it was some girl in Texas, and she was actually ok with it…

Well, that's what her face showed, but her heart was crumbling to pieces on the insides.

She knew that he and everyone else at the Temple thought she liked Raimundo…due to those two times that she kissed him on the cheek…But to her they were tokens of her friendship, she would never love Rai that way, she'd probably kill him before their relationship began.

"Clay, can I talk to you for a sec?" she asked, as she stood behind him.

Clay stopped, and turned to smile at her, "Sure thing partner."

Her eyes drifted from his sapphire blue eye, to his signature cowboy hat on the ground.

"Would you go out with me?"

Raimundo froze when he heard those words escape Kimiko's mouth…

"But I thought…" Raimundo thought as he watched as Kimiko stood in front of Clay.

He put his hand on the cheek Kimiko kissed twice, his green eyes full of confusion and hurt. He thought she was going to ask HIM out not Clay.

"What does Clay have that I don't have?" Raimundo thought bitterly, "I'm the Shoku Warrior, and he's…hotter then I am…DAMN IT!"

"But…" Clay blinked, "I thought you loved Rai."

Kimiko shook her head, "I love you, Clay…only you. You saved me more times then I can count…and sure Rai has saved me a handful of times…but that isn't compared of what you have done. I've counted the many times that you let me cry on your shoulder…be my support…and physically rescued me…the only things Rai has done is physically rescue me. Plus, I've always had this crush on you, no matter how aggravating your Texan metaphors are."

Clay smiled, "I would be honored."

Raimundo stood there soaking the information that Kimiko had just spit out, "How could I have been so blind?"

No matter how many times he wished for her to love him…he forgot the fact that there was Clay and Omi that could have her love as well.

"Kimiko…"

PLEASE R&R!
