Wherever You Will Go

Clay POV

"Well, loser, aren't you going to do anything?" I heard Jack laugh as I kept my eyes on him and the serpent's tail.

"Don't get over confident now Jack. Remember what happens if you underestimate your opponent," I told him and watched as the floor started making itself into steps for which I could use to get higher and catch up with Jack.

I started climbing my way up and watched Jack carefully as he started reaching out for the shen gong wu.

"This one is all mine baby!" Jack yelled as he is about to grab a hold of the serpent's tail.

"Not so fast!"

I quickly threw my lasso at him, grabbing him, and I quickly started pulling him towards me as the shroud of shadows fell off him.

"Hey no fair!" he whined.

"Sorry, Jack, but you ain't getting that serpent's tail," I responded as I kept a hold of him until I got closer to him and managed to tie him up fully.

"Alright, Clay! He's not going anywhere!" I heard Kimiko cheer.

"Hurry up and get the serpent's tail already!" I heard Dojo yell out.

'When did he get here?' I wondered to myself for a second, but quickly I ignored the thought and went to reach for the serpent's tail.

"NO!!!" Wuya screamed as I grabbed a hold of the wu.

The basketball area shrank back down to what it had looked like before we did the showdown and in my hands I held the serpent's tail, the shroud of shadows, and the falcon's eye.

"ALRIGHT, CLAY!"

I saw as Kimiko ran towards me and hugged me. I dropped the shen gong wu and hugged her back smiling brightly.

"You did an awesome job!" she said smiling at me and before I knew it she gave me a kiss on the cheek and I could feel my face heat up.

"Thanks Kimiko."

I looked and saw that Jack was looking at us and whimpering. I raised my eyebrows slightly as to why he was acting that way and the feeling I got was that it had nothing to do with losing the showdown.

"Grr what does it take to get good help around here?!" Wuya yelled out suddenly as she started moving away and Jack followed her with a quick glance back at Kimiko and me.

If I hadn't known better I'd say that Jack Spicer was in love with Kimiko. That thought really started getting to me, but before I could say or do anything about it, Dojo interrupted.

"Uh, guys? We need to go. Great job and all Clay, but we do need to get Omi some help," Dojo told us as both of us turned as white as a ghost.

Kimiko quickly let go of me and ran towards Raimundo and Omi with me quickly following right behind her. As soon as we got there though we were met with Raimundo still sitting where he was at earlier and was practically cradling the little guy and from the looks of things, Omi seemed to be getting worse as I noticed that Omi did look a little red.

Raimundo POV

"Raimundo? How is…," I heard as Kimiko started talking, but I quickly responded.

"He's got a fever. I think his injuries were pretty bad," I could barely keep myself from letting out a sob.

"We'd better hurry and get back to the temple then Dojo," Clay said.

"Right, everybody hop on!"

I didn't have to see to know that Dojo had already gotten to his bigger form and was waiting for all of us to get on.

"Here, Rai, let me hold him so that you can get on," Kimiko said as she held out her arms.

I reluctantly put Omi in her arms as I climbed on Dojo's back and quickly she gave him back. I watched as Clay helped Kimiko get on Dojo and then he got himself on as well.

"You guys better hold on tight, because I'm going to be going faster that what I have been," Dojo told us.

"Just get going already Dojo!" my voice was a little hoarse as I practically screamed at him. I watched as he nodded and took off.

Omi POV

My body was hurting all over as I slowly started coming to. I felt air hitting my body and someone had their arms around me. I slightly opened my eyes to look around and saw that I was being held by….Raimundo?! If I hadn't felt as weak as I did there I know that my face would have flushed and that butterflies would be dancing inside me.

"Rai…mun…do?" I could barely say as I saw that his eyes were on mine with a very shocked and worried look in his eyes and from just those few seconds before I blacked out again I could tell that he was crying.
