Sorry I haven't updated in a while! I started another story that mixes KH (Kingdom Hearts for those of u who don't know) and XS. So if u like KH and XS plz read it, it's called What if? But on with this story…
Kimiko POV
February 13th. One day till Valentine's Day. I was wondering if I should get Rai something. I didn't know if guys wanted gifts for Valentine's Day, or if only girls got gifts. Whatever, I just wanted breakfast.
"Morning guys." I greeted. Everyone was at the table except Kera.
"Good Morning!" Omi said cheerfully.
"Morning little lady." Clay said as he shoveled food into his mouth.
"Morning." Rai mumbled still half asleep. A few minutes later Kera came stumbling in, like she was sleepwalking.
"You alright, little lady?" Clay asked concerned. He actually stopped eating. I almost never saw him stop eating! He must really like her…
"Yeah, I just didn't get much sleep," she explained half smiling as she sat down, "and I'm normally not much of a morning person." A few minutes later Dojo came slithering in.
"Hey, kids!" Dojo said cheerfully caring the scroll. "We've got a new Wu." We all gathered around him as he opened the scroll. There was the same cartoon, putting a ring on. It was called "The Seven Deadly Sings Ring".
"This is an interesting Wu," Dojo began, "The Seven Deadly Sings Ring, brings out the worst sin of the person wearing the Wu. For example, if you are normally greedy then you would never stop being greedy."
"But Dojo I have never committed one of the seven deadly sins." Omi bragged proudly. We all looked at him with an eyebrow raised.
"Um, no comment." Dojo replied. He was about to grow when he paused and looked at Kera's hand. "That's it!"
We all looked at Kera's hand and saw a ruby ring on her ring finger.
"Wow, who knew that I had a Wu all these years!" She said taking it off and handing it to Dojo. When we finished breakfast, we all headed outside to train. Kera now trained with us, even though she wasn't a Wudai warrior. Today was the day, where she would be tested on a move she just learned. She stood in front of Master Fung, waiting for instructions.
"Whenever you are ready, Kera," Master Fung told her, "remember to stay focused."
"Yes, Master Fung." She said quietly. We all sat on the sidelines watching her. For a few minutes, she stood absolutely still with her eyes closed.Maybe she feel asleep... Suddenly, her eyes shot open and she yelled:
"Sonic Blast Music!" all around her was these purple rays that apparently were sound waves. She stared at a target before it got destroyed by the purple sound waves. It was like she was in a trance and now she snapped out of it.
"Cool." We all said at the same time.
"Good job, Kera," Master Fung congratulated. He handed her the sash we all got when we became apprentices. "You have shown great control of your element. Congratulation! You are now a Xiaolin apprentice."
"Beast!" she yelled happily. Master Fung raised an eyebrow.
"I mean thank you Master Fung." She corrected bowing. We all ran up to her to congratulate her when all of a sudden she passed out.
Kera's POV
"You know it is your destiny." A strange voice said.
"NO!" I screamed. "I don't believe in destiny!"
"Believe it or not, it will happen. Whether you like it or not." The voice said mysteriously.
"NO! I screamed again.
"Kera, wake up." Clay said shaking me. I suddenly saw him looking down at me. I was in my room lying on my bed. It was all a dream.
"What happened?" I asked groggily. All I remember was being promoted and then I saw nothing but darkness and I heard a strange voice.
"Well, you got promoted to apprentice, and then fainted," Clay explained, "you feeling alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine I guess I was just tired or something." I knew that was a lame excuse but I didn't know what happened so I had to assume that was what happened. I'd try and figure out the dream later. "How long have I been out?"
"A few days." He said seriously.
"WHAT?!?" I opened my phone. It read 6:11 PM February 13th. It had only been a few hours. I play glared at him, now he was laughing.
"That's not funny!" I said as I stood up and punched him in the arm.
"Then why are you smiling?" He asked as he stood up. I didn't even realize I was smiling. I started blushing.
"Let's go get dinner." I said to avoid answering his question. When we walked out of my room I asked:
"So how long were you with me when I was asleep?" He blushed before he answered:
"Um…ever since you passed out." I stopped hopping he would stop too; when he did I gave him a hug.
"Thanks that was really sweet." When I stopped and looked at him he looked surprised. "Come on! I'm starving!" I exclaimed, smiling.
The Next Day…
Kimiko's POV
"Wake up Kimiko!" Omi yelled as he shook me.
"What is it Omi?" I asked as I looked at my clock. It was 5AM!
"It's Valentine's Day!" he shouted as if I didn't already know.
"Yeah, Omi but why did you wake me up so early?" I asked aggravated.
"I am just very excited!" Omi shouted again. "Now I must wake up our other friends so we can all celebrate together!" I couldn't get back to sleep so I decided to just get up and start my day. I was brushing my hair (I had changed into my robes) when I heard a knock on my door.
"Coming!" I called walked over to open the door. There was Rai holding a box and a Valentine's Day card. Oh My God!
"Happy Valentine's Day." He said handing me the gift. I looked at him smiling.
"Thanks Rai!" I yelled as I pulled him into a quick hug. When I stopped hugging him, I saw that he was blushing.
"So… um," he started nervously, "do you want to go on a date later?" God I hope I wasn't dreaming!
"I'd love to." I replied, handing him his Valentine's Day Gift. Before I walked out of my "room", I whispered seductively in his ear, "Happy Valentine's Day."
In another room…
Kera's POV
I heard a knock on my door a few minutes after Omi woke me up.
"I'm coming Omi! Chill!" I yelled aggravated. When was he not excited?
"It's me." I heard a familiar Southern accent say. I walked over to my door and opened it.
"Opps, sorry Clay I thought you were-"I stopped when I saw him holing a bouquet of roses. They were beautiful!
"Happy Valentine's Day!" he said happily as he handed me the flowers.
"They're wonderful!" I gasped as I put them on my desk before I hugged him. "Thank you so much!" This was the nicest thing anyone ever did for me!
"So…um…will…you," he started obviously nervous, "go on a date with me later?"
"Of course!" I exclaimed happily giving him another hug. "Happy Valentine's Day! I have to go find a vase for these roses!" I shouted as I left my room. Could this day get any better?
That's all you get for now! I'll be back with chapter 10 soon. Tell me what you think! Now I'm off to do Homework:( See ya!
BTW- I don't know where the title for this chapter came from. :)
