KEF: I hope you enjoy chapter 2 of Return to the sea.
Kimiko: KEF, Raimundo is trying to beat up Omi.
KEF: Raimundo quit it.
Raimundo: come on let me hit the cheese ball at least once.

KEF: Bye the way please review. And no flames please. I accept healthy critism but don't be mean. The characters are a bit OCC
At Chase's palace
Normal POV
Chase sat there thinking. He needed to get the staff he just wasn't sure how. He sat on his throne thinking for a long time. Suddenly Wuya burst in to the room and said, "Chase there are no Sheng Gong Wu activating, I am so bored and your cats won't listen to me. Get your cats to obey me."
"Wuya be quiet." Chase commanded. He was getting a migraine. He long forgot why he brought back that annoying witch. He thought about it for a while and remembered that it was to drag the world into eternal darkness. Suddenly he had an idea, why not ambush the young dragons. It was such a simple plan that it was almost idiotic but the stupid monks probably wouldn't even realize it.
"Wuya come here." Chase commanded.
"What?" Wuya asked.
"We are going to steal the staff of songs," Chase said.
"Okay, I'm listening." Wuya said.
He beckoned her closer and she bent down and he started to whisper his plan. When they were done talking Wuya burst out laughing and said, "It's so simple that it could work," "Yes with the staff I will control the world." Chase said and started to laugh like an evil maniac. Wuya joined in but by the time Chase had stopped Wuya was still going. Chase and the cats just looked at her and when she finally noticed she stopped sheepishly and said, "Sorry."
Somewhere in the Deep Sea
Normal POV
"You will obey me." A mysterious voice said. It was a man, he was wearing a black jacket and black pants (like Gaito) He had blue eyes and purple hair.
"No, you are not the true King of the deep sea. Kaito sama is. Anyway you are nothing but a little servant." Some one said. It was Mimi. She was bent down in a kneeling position. She looked like she was in great pain. Sheshe was on the ground collapsed.
"It doesn't matter. I am king now." the voice said.
"The mermaid princesses will stop you." Mimi said.
"Not with the pink pearl princesses missing in action." The man said
Mimi started to feel dizzy and the last thing she heard was the mysterious stranger's insane laughing. Her last thought was 'Luchia please save us.'
At the Xiaolin Temple
Normal POV
"Young monks it's time for training." Master Fung said, "you must be careful young monks danger could be…" Raimundo cut him off.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah we know danger could be around any corner now that we have the staff of songs." Raimundo said smugly.
"No I was going to say that danger could be coming around every corner but because you have done so well finding the staff of songs and everything I am will ing to let you go on vacation. I have rented out a private beach in Japan." Master Fung said his eyebrows rising.
Suddenly thousands of wild cats came out of nowhere and pinned the monks to the wall. "Who could have done this?" Kimiko said.
"Who else? It can only be Chase Young." Raimundo said, "who else can control big cats.
Chase Young and Wuya stepped out of the shadows and held the staff. "That is correct. You are not worthy of wielding such a powerful Sheng gong wu." With that Chase and Wuya jump off.
"Young monks you must be diligent. Retrieve the staff or the world will be at an end." Master Fung said.
"Do we still get that vacation?" Raimundo asked. Master Fung raised an eyebrow and thought for a bit and said, Yes but only if you get the staff."
Meanwhile in Kimiko's mind was in whirl of feelings. She felt distressed that the world maybe destroyed yet AGAIN. She also felt annoyed that the bad guys never seemed to have different plans. It was always try to get the power then rule the world.
Later at Chases Lair
Normal POV
The Xiaolin monks snuck in quietly hoping to go undetected. They didn't see anyone. Even though the dragons were so cautious they didn't notice that a pair of golden eyes was watching them.
"So they decided to show up." Chase said.
"Chase, why are we not attacking them?" Wuya asked wondering.
" If I do this right we could get the power in the staff and the dragons' eternal servitude." Chase said.
"We can make that bitch Kimiko into a little kitty." Wuya said gleefully.
Meanwhile the monks had found the staff and Omi, Raimundo, and Clay had run to reach it when suddenly many tigers and panthers came out of nowhere and pounced on them.
"Guys," Kimiko screamed.
"Get the staff." Raimundo yelled.
Kimiko raced to the staff and touched it at the same time as Chase Young.
"Chase Young I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown. The name of the game is Sing That Song. I wager our eternal servitude for all you Sheng Gong Wu." Kimiko said.
"Fine I accept your terms." Chase said. He was thinking, 'how did she know that I had a lot of Sheng Gong Wu?"
"Gong Yi Tampi." They said.
Suddenly the staff started to glow and lyrics appeared. "Ladies first," Chase said. Kimiko looked at the lyrics and saw that the song was Voice in the Dark. She closed her eyes and began to sing:
Voice in the Dark
Yami no FORIA
Shimju no kizuna ubae

Kanashiki yami no Foria
Hageshiku tsuyoku atsuku
Uzamaku RIFUREIN de
Kanashiki yami no Foria
At the end of the song everyone was amazed even Wuya. No one had expected Kimiko to be able to sing that well. All of the Heylin were bent over in pain. No one but Kimiko knew that evil couldn't stand the voice of something filled with love even if they thought the voice was pretty. Kimiko smirked, turned to Chase, and said, "Your turn. Beat that."
Chase glared at her and waited for the staff to give him a song. The staff started to glow a dark blue color. Kimiko instantly knew that the song was one of Hanon's songs, Ever Blue.
Oto tatezu ni iro kaeteku

Kimiko was surprised she hadn't heard many males actually manage to sing that well and Chase was one of the best that she had ever heard even if he seemed uncomfortable singing something about love. Everyone else had there jaws dropped and Wuya had hearts in her eyes (I'm making Wuya a love sick puppy, when it comes to Chase). Kimiko felt herself lucky that Chase's singing didn't have that much power or she would have been keeling over.
Chase smirked, he knew that he passed and handed the staff to Kimiko. When she took it the song that appeared was Super Love Song and in parenthesis under it, it said this is a song written for more than one person so you will just be one voice and the other voices will come.
Kimiko began to sing and soon the others heard 2 other voices. At first they weren't sure where the voices were coming from until they noticed a pink glowing thing around Kimiko's neck and saw a shell necklace, which the voices were being emitted from. Soon Kimiko was dancing too and they could swear that they saw the outline of a girl with long blond hair in 2 pigtails and eyes even brighter than Kimiko's but with a color that kept changing from sapphire blue to a sea green, in a pink outfit with 2 other girls on her side. One had long dark green hair with green eyes and a long flowing dress with the same necklace accepts it was in the green color. On the other side of the blonde hair girl was a girl with blue hairs and eyes the color of copper and in an outfit exactly like the girl in pink accept it was blue. In the far background they could see 4 other girls watching and smiling. The girls were all so beautiful. If the monks had to guess, they were prettier then the mermaid that they met when fighting for the Gills of Hamachi. Soon all the Heylin were either keeled over or knocked out. The Xiaolin however felt like they could take on the world. They were so full of energy but were sad when all the energy left them with the end of the song. The only one who was still peppy was Kimiko herself.
Chase was so staggered that when the music started for his turn he wasn't ready to sing and he lost the showdown. The staff appeared in Kimiko's hand with 3 more bars filled, 2 with pink and one with blood red.
Raimundo and Clay found it weird. Who were those girls that they saw behind Kimiko. Kimiko looked like she was very happy and didn't notice the outlines. They realized that Kimiko had the same necklace around her neck as the girl in the pink. It left many question in their minds. Kimiko had gotten prettier. She had taken down her hair and now it flowed down her back in long tendrils that reached her hip. With a more heart shaped face and large innocent blue eyes, she looked very similar to the girl in pink but still there were major differences. They decided to leave it for a while and see what happened.
The dragons quickly returned to the temple and told Master Fung of there win and quickly went to go get some clothes for there week long vacation at the beach. Kimiko went to her room and the first thing she did was grab her black opal bracelet so she could swim without transforming. Then she packed all her stuff in a suitcase and was about to leave the room but when she turned around she saw Master Fung standing there.
Master Fung said, "Kimiko I think you should take the Staff of Songs with you. It would be safer with someone who could actually use it."
Kimiko replied, "Yes Master Fung I will take care of the staff. Master Fung I must ask. If the Staff accepts someone like me would we be allowed to keep the staff?"
Master Fung thought about the question for a little then replied, "I don't see why not, it is said that the one it accepts is the ruler of the sea and it seems to favor you already." With those word in mind Kimiko got on Dojo and they left.
When they got to Japan the first thing they did was drop their stuff of in their separate hotel rooms (Dojo went back to Master Fung) and changed in their bathing suits then put their clothes back on. When they rejoined in the hallway they bumped into Chase, Wuya, Jack, and Ashley.
"What are you doing here?" Raimundo demanded.
"We decided to take a break from hunting for Sheng Gong WE. What are YOU doing here?" Jack said.
"Because all the hard work we did Master Fung gave us a vacation and rented a private beach. How about we call a truce for the whole week of vacation and we all have fun together." Kimiko responded her mind elsewhere. This was around the area she once went to school and spent her time with her friends.
The Heylin quickly agreed but before they could get started on plans to steal the wu that the dragons may have, Kimiko continued, "if you break the truce during the vacation you must give us your eternal loyalty and same will go for us." The Heylin mumbled their agreement and the whole group went down to the private beach that Master Fung had rented. All the guys were swimming or playing volleyball while Wuya and Katnappe were tanning themselves. None of them knew where Kimiko was. Suddenly they saw her coming in the distance with a surfboard. It was pink and had the picture of a beautiful red flower painted on it (Kaito made a new one for her after it was burned with the shack.) Kimiko was in a pretty revealing bikini that made all the guys blush even Omi and made Wuya and Katnappe glare at her jealously. The bikini was striped and the bottom of the bikini had kind of a skirt. Kimiko just ignored all of them and swam out on the bored in to the water and them when a big wave came she stood up and did all sorts of tricks and made it back to shore.
Everyone was amazed and all the guys rushed her and bombarded her with question on where she learned to surf. Her only reply was that she had a good teacher. Soon they were getting bored of playing with each other when suddenly Kimiko had a brilliant idea, "Why don't we go down to public beach and hang out with the people there?" Everyone agreed but little did they know, was that the real reason she wanted to go was because she wanted to go by the Pearl Café.
When they got to the beach it was crowded with people. Kimiko had put her surfboard away and grabbed Raimundo and Chase's arm and dragged them to the beachside restaurant named Pearl Café while the others followed. When they got in they saw tons of people. The place was crowded. A girl with short blue hair came and showed them to a table.
Raimundo and Chase noticed that she kept looking at Kimiko with confusion and wondered what was up. The girl went over to a group of people with a cute little boy, 5 other gorgeous girls, and a guy with orange hair and copper orange eyes and started talking to them. All of them suddenly looked at their table and stared pointedly at Kimiko. Now Raimundo was curious about why they kept looking at them but he didn't have to wonder long because the guy went up to Kimiko and started talking to her. Raimundo saw red. He wasn't even listening he just didn't like seeing Kimiko with the guy. The guy suddenly bent down to whisper in her ear and Kimiko blushed bright red and the guy laughed. Soon the guy introduced himself as Kaito. Wuya and Ashley (a.k.a Katnappe) tried to flirt with him but every time he just talked to them for a little but then Kimiko started to get angry and he refocused his attention on her. Raimundo was dead jealous of the guy and saw that Chase and Jack were too. Kimiko quickly waved goodbye to the other monks and the Heylin people and went with Kaito to talk with his group. They watched for a while and saw that the way the group treated her was like greeting a friend they hadn't seen in a long time. Wuya, Chase, Ashley, Jack, and the other monks went back to the hotel at the end of the day but they never heard Kimiko return. Soon they started to get worried and went to go find her they went down to the public beach to find it empty. They were about to go but they heard a voice that sounded extremely familiar. The group followed the voice and what they saw amazed them. There in front of there eyes was the most beautiful creature they had ever seen. She was a mermaid. The mermaid had blond hair in pigtails that fell down into the sea and floated around her as she sat on a rock. She had blue eyes and a heart shaped face. Her shell bikini top was pink and she was wearing a necklace and earrings. Her tail was pink as well. The mermaid was playing a golden harp and singing a song. She hadn't seen them and they continued to watch. When the song was over she leaped into the ocean and the group agreed to only tell Kimiko about the beautiful sight they had seen.
The next day the group all met in the dining hall of the hotel (Kimiko is included this time) Clay watched as Omi told Kimiko of the wondrous sighting of the mermaid he could swear he could see a flash of shock in her eyes.
Later Kimiko somehow convinced Ashley to go to the arboretum. Ashley in turn convinced everyone else and they went to go look at the flowers. They decided to leave all their stuff on the bus and they looked around. It turned out to be very fun. When they got back on to the bus Kimiko found a red flower on top of her stuff. Kimiko started to cry. The group all looked at the flower and realized that it looked like the one on Kimiko's surfboard and her little surfboard key chain.
The days continued to pass and everyone was having fun even Chase and Wuya. Finally it was the last day of vacation so they went out to a karaoke place and got a room and they all took turns singing.
The first one to sing was Kimiko. The song she chose was Beautiful Wish. Everyone listened as she sang the song out in a soft croon. It was like she was remembering something painful.
Soon the day was over and none of them could bring themselves to say good-bye but finally Kimiko broke the silence, "This was a fun week, I hope we can do this again." "Yeah," The others agreed and the dragons flew off and returned to the temple.
Next time: Rido is finally attacking the mermaid princesses and Kimiko shows the monks and the Heylin warriors who she really is. How will the monks deal with the realization and the fact that the Heylin side joins Rido?
