Hey Everybody! I would like to say "Thank you" again to all of my reviewers. I would like to know that you made me really happy again. I am so happy that I met my goal! I wanted 10 reviews by chapter 7, but I have 10 reviews at chapter 5! Thank you for reviewing and reading my story! It means so much to me! This is one of my shortest chapters yet, but I don't want to leave you hanging for long. Although this chapter does have a cliffhanger, or at least it is to me because I know what's going to happen. When you read the ending, you'll know what I'm talking about. Even though this is a short chapter, it has a lot of fluff in it. Enjoy!
Kim's POV
"Ugh!" I cried out, "Where are Rai and Master Fung? They have been gone for over 45 minuets!"
As soon as those words escaped my mouth, Rai and Master Fung walked into the room, and they both looked different.
"Rai!" I exclaimed as I jumped into his arms. He caught me, held me close, and spun me around. When he put me back on my feet, he hugged me close to him again. I looked at Master Fung and saw him smiling at us.
When Rai broke the hug, he held me at arms length. He caressed my cheek with his thumb, "Baby, you know I will always protect you, right?" he asked me. Right now, Clay, Shelly, Omi, and Rach turned towards us.
"Yes, baby," I told him, "I know you will do anything for me." I leaned forward and kissed him. He kissed me and walked me over to his mat, and we sat down –Rai on the mat and me on his lap- still kissing. When we stopped 5 seconds later, I snuggled close to his chest as he held me close.
Omi's POV
Wow, I thought, Raimundo and Kimiko are really in love.
"Now, young ones, I have some important news for you," Master Fung said. "Omi, I know who your parents are."
I was never so happy in my entire life! "Who, Master Fung, who?" I asked happily.
"I am your father, Omi," he told me.
"So, I am Omi Fung?" I asked. Master Fung, or should I say Dad, nodded blankly. "Then where is Mom?"
My dad looked down sadly, "Omi, your mother died in a battle trying to protect you."
"Oh," I said sad. I felt a warm body against mine. I looked down and saw Rach. Since Kimiko and Raimundo's relationship was doing better than ever, I glanced at Raimundo and saw him looking at me. Kimiko had her eyes closed, but you could tell that she was not sleeping. Her back was against his chest, and her forehead was resting on the side of his chin, so her face would be facing me. Raimundo hugged her and mouthed "Hug her" to me. I hugged Rach and rested my chin on the top of her head.
Master Fung broke the silence after about 30 seconds I found out about Mom. "If anyone has any secrets they want to share, you better speak up now. Sharing secrets can strengthen a relationship and will make us stronger as a team," he said.
Shelly looked down and raised her hand. "I live in California," she admitted.
"But I picked you and Rachel up in Utah!" Dojo complained.
"I know, but I ran away," she said, "you see, my dad cheated on my mom, but when she found out; it broke her heart, so she killed herself. Dad brought home different girls at night. One night, my dad beat a girl until she was knocked unconscious from a loss of blood. He called 911, while I wrote a note saying that I was running away. I taped the note on the outside of my door, so my dad would find it. I jumped out the window, hitch-hiked to Utah, and met Rach there." Shelly sighed and shook her head. "I sometimes wonder if the song Runaway Love was written about my life." She started to sob, so she hid her face in Clay's shoulder. Clay hugged her and kissed the top of her head trying to soothe her.
"Well," Master Fung said, "We will be getting two new monks in about an hour, so I was thinking we could get some secrets off of our chests and feel better."
Now this was the shortest chapter I have ever written, but I wanted to have one person's secret per chapter. Don't worry, the new monks are going to come next chapter, but I have a problem. The monks are a boy and a girl, both from America. I have the girl's name, but I don't have the boy's name. If you want another chapter up soon, could you please help me figure out a name? If you need to know the girl's name to figure out the boy's name, you can send me a private message and I will get to you as soon as I can. Well, next chapter is Rachel! Please review! It will make me feel better!
