Slowly the moon rose and everyone doze off to sleep one by one, but not Kimiko, she couldn't sleep. Walking outside she shivered at the sudden wind that had picked up. Every time she walked outside lately, wind seemed to be around which is funny because it had been dead for two years to her. She smiled and sat up against a tree rubbing her bare arms and staring up at the stares. Her cozy, comfortable nature was ruined as she saw a blonde in the distance. He had a demonic smirk on his face as he paced around the outside of the temple, that is until he noticed to her, and then demonic turned to sheepish within seconds. She stood up as he started walking over to her. Her eyes narrowed and flames formed in her hands behind her back as she tried to walk off slowly. He stood in front of her stopping her from getting past even if she wanted to.
"Why are you out here?" he asked curiously.
She stared at him looking around, wasn't she the one that was here first, what right did he have to question her on something as pointless at that, "Why do you care?" she snapped, "And what are you doing out here?" she let the flames fade and turned her back to him.
"Why am I on trial here?" he asked with a calm and collected voice.
"Why do I have any reason to trust you?" she asked back.
He sighed, if only she knew then she would have full trust in him, "I really just, want us to get along and be really great friends, I don't mean to interfere and destroy everything you three have gained," his eyes were sparkling at her.
She didn't want to give in to him, and she wasn't going to, he was going to have to do a lot more then state some cheesy lies and put on a seductive smile, she was harder then that. Her eyes glanced up into his, she had to avoid any type of look he would give her but he could stare just as hard. Kimiko was not one for giving up but she stomped her foot and walked off after staring at him for a few moments. As soon as she was gone the boy yanked off the blonde wig revealing his natural brown color.
"God how uncomfortable," he said scratching at his hairline.
He heard cackling coming from a distance and soon a red haired boy was right up next to him.
"That was great," the boy cried, holding his stomach from the laughing, "But just think when she finds out who you really are, then she'll be mad at you and can never trust you again!" he said wrapping an arm around the brunette.
"Thanks Jack," the boy said pushing the arm wrapped around his neck off and walking off.
"Raimundo!" Jack cried, "It was a joke, who cares if she trusts you in the end or not?"
Raimundo turned to face him, trying to find some way to argue against Jack but strangely and probably for the first time in Jacks life, he was right, what did it matter what Kimiko thought about him, as long as he had exactly what Chase wanted, nothing else really mattered.
"Good," Jack said tapping his fingers together, his skin glowing in the darkness, "Now put your wig back on and go in there and act normal!" he continued pushing Raimundo forward to the temple.
Raimundo shot him a thumbs up before placing the wig back on his head and switching back over to Auster. Jack shook his head and walked off the other way staring at the running boy only wishing he could be the one to have to persuade them and become one with them, Jack at that very moment was longing for some comfort, someone's support, anything that involved being love and loving but that quickly turned into jealousy. The past 2 years had been hell, Chase loving and caring for Raimundo just like Jack had always wanted, Raimundo getting the fun task well Jack got check up duty, it just wasn't fair, he was an evil boy genius after all and he should be very well respected. He stomped off back to his own home and curled up in his bed staring out the window just wondering what Rai was doing at that very moment.
"Oh Auster!" Kimiko cried kicking the boy in the side as he curled himself up tighter at her movement, "It's time to get up," she said shaking him violently.
"Go.." he stared and trailed as he said, "Away,"
"But it's time to get up!" she yelled in his ear removing some of the hair that was covering it so she could amplify the sound.
He clenched both his fists together; she never used to be this annoying. Slowly creeping to his knees he rose to his feet towering over her with an upside down smile. She smiled to herself, her job was done.
"What time is it," he asked rubbing his eyes and then squinting.
She cocked her head to the side and formed an expression like she was thinking, "I think since it took me so long it's probably about five,"
"In the morning!" he said popping both his eyes open and staring intensely at it.
She squinted, "I thought you had brown eyes,"
He touched his iris hoping that their was something covering it but nothing was, he shut it really fast a tear dripping down it and then wiping excess liquid from his irritated eye, "You were paying attention to me?" he said raising an eyebrow.
She looked at him and blinked, "What..! No!" she said crossing her arms, "How dare you!" she said narrowing her eyes and shooting the most hate filled glare he had ever seen.
He grabbed his stomach and chuckled, "Right!" ruffling her hair he passed her and walked outside.
She ran after him, he was walking all over her and she couldn't handle it, no one had done that to her in a long, long time. He turned around and started walking backwards, "Why you following me!?" he called out to her.
She smoothed out the top of her hair making sure that it was all in order and then pulled at her pigtails making sure that both ponytails were still in perfect position, "You.." she said trying to think of something to say but had nothing.
"Me," he said with a cocky smile and two hands placed on his chest.
"To hyper," she grumbled under her breath and trudged back into the temple to go lay down for a well deserved rest.
As soon as he knew she was gone he ran back into the temple and grabbed his contact case placing the brown contacts into his emerald eyes, that had been a close call but luckily she hadn't caught him, but from then on he was going to have to be a lot more careful.
"Jack!" Chase hissed in the younger boy's ear.
Jack rolled over, his tongue hanging at the side of his porcelain skin and his eyelashes resting lightly on his highly placed cheekbones. His appearance disgusted Chase who began shaking him. Jack slowly opened his eyes and let out a slight yelp upon seeing Chase by his bed. Jumping up from his bed and landing on his floor he stared at Chase with a confused look across his face.
"Don't flatter yourself," Chase snapped and began pacing the boy's room, "You never came to me last night after your little check up," a demonic smirk formed across Chase's lips, "How has he been doing?"
Jack crossed his arms and cocked his feet in, "Fine,"
Chase stopped where he was walking and glared at the boy with flaming hair, "Just fine,"
"He's doing great!" Jack said holding out his hand in a mocking way.
Chase shook his head, "Great? Fine? Something more would be nice?"
"I don't know, he seemed content and like he was having a really fun time!" Jack cried which turned into a mumble, "Unlike me,"
"Unlike you!" Chase said raising his voice a little bit.
"Why don't I ever get anything cool to do!?" Jack asked in a whining tone well stomping his foot.
Chase smirked and shrugged, "Be lucky I'm still giving you tasks after all your years of failing me,"
Jack opened his mouth to say something but Chase just left without even a breath. Jack clenched his fist and let out a moan, pure torture was all this was, Jack was old enough now to be out on his own, doing whatever he felt like, he didn't need a boss or anyone to tell him what to do but then again it was always nice having direction. With a shrug of his scrawny shoulders he started rummaging through his closet trying to find something to wear. That's when he found it, it came to him the most brilliant plan ever, and all he needed was time, which he seemed like he'd have a lot of lately. Chase and Raimundo's relationship would be ruined forever and Jack would be back in the game.
"Evil plan," Jack said to himself rubbing his chin with his fingers and then sliding over to his desk to jot down his brand new evil plan.
Kimiko couldn't sleep at all, she ran into Omi's room and shook him until he woke up. Alert and ready the little yellow ball opened his eyes and rose to his feet putting up both his hands in a position that showed he was ready to hit someone.
"Omi," Kimiko said resting a hand on his wrist and bringing it down to his side.
"What is it Kimiko?" he asked staring at her with wide eyes.
She shook her head, "I hate him!" she cried standing to her feet, "Ugh! Why does he think he has the right to everything here, he thinks he's so great and so amazing.." she continued, "WELL! I strongly disagree with that," she finished crossing her arms.
Omi walked over to her, "Don't you think your over reacting just a little bit, Kimiko maybe you should give me a chance!"
She turned to the boy and looked down at him, "A chance?"
"A chance Kimiko!" he said nodding really quickly, "He seems like a very nice boy if only you'd get to know him a bit more!"
"Nice wasn't my word for him," she said crossing her arms and flames burning in her sapphire eyes.
Omi shook his head, "Kimiko, Kimiko, is it because he reminds you so much of Raimundo?
"What!?" she said placing a hand on her chest and looking rather offended, "How da-,"
"It is!" he said holding up an accusing finger.
"You got smarter.." she said shaking her head.
He nodded, "I am the smaterest!" he said with a smile.
Her face drained, "Right, a chance though Omi," she said cupping her hands against the windowsill, "But I know Rai's out there, he's closer then ever before, I can just feel him here, it's hard to explain because you didn't share what we had, it was.. special," she said trailing twoards the end and gazing out into the world around her.
Clay grabbed Omi's hand and pulled him away, leaving Kimiko to her thoughts about Raimundo, the one that got away. She turned around to see if Omi was still watching her, but he was gone.
"A Chance"
Those words sunk into her like she sunk into water, it wouldn't hurt, and it had been 2 years, was she really that stubborn and desperate for Raimundo. He wasn't coming back, she just had to face it even though it hurt her. She trudged off to go outside, all she wanted know was to feel the wind one last time before forgetting about it all.
