Kimiko pulled out a black suede journal, her name engraved on the front and pages lined with cursive handwriting. There were a few blank pages in the back that were just yearning to be filled, that's where her black pen came in handy. Whipping it out she began jotting everything down, the scene, the mood, how everything happened, was it love, was it a crush, what did she feel towards the new kid that would give her such a sinking feeling in her stomach. After five of the pages were filled, she had no more room, all her writing space was gone and she was about to go insane, she wanted to go find him, and just spend the night with him, but she wanted to rip his heart out and stomp on it, she was having a case of mixed emotions which lead her to wonder if she had turned bipolar. Standing up she walked back outside, she had never spent so much time out there but it just seemed to get prettier as the sun set day after day. Climbing up to that familiar branch she hugged the trunk of the tree, digging her nails in and sliding them across, just soaking up the beauty of the day.

"Hey," a deep voice said.

She looked down, "Jack?" she asked annoyed by his presence, it was not who she wanted to see.

He smiled, his skin glowing in the light, "Why are you out here?"

"Why are you here?" she asked putting her hands on her hips.

He shrugged, "Because I can be,"

"It's called trespassing," she established letting her hands fall to the side of her body.

"Well sorry," he said holding up a hand up and turning his head.

"So why aren't you leaving?"

He shrugged, "Why should I?"

"This is ridiculous!" she cried.

He chuckled, "Don't flatter yourself, I came here to check on the new guy,"

"Wh- Why.? he's probably busy and doesn't want to see you anyways! If you must know he's a very talented fighter and just because you had a little run there with Chase and Wuya doesn't mean that with a fourth we can't win again!"

He held his hands up in defense, "I know, don't spazz out, I just wanna meet the kid,"

"Well you can't!" she said crossing her arms and turning away.

"Why Kimi, do you like him or something?" Jack asked taunting her with his eyes.

"N-, no…" she said not so sure of his own words.

"What about Raimundo? Did you forget about him?" Jack asked blinking, was she really that easy.

"I don't like anyone, because why should I, romance is just a petty thing that doesn't belong in a temple such as this one!" she said stomping her foot and glaring at him.

He raised an eyebrow, "You so sure? Don't you love Clay and Omi, they've always been there for you, didn't you love Raimundo, and don't you love attention?" he asked.

She crossed her arms, "Since when did you get a back bone Spicer?"

"It's always been there, I've always had.. a backbone.. I'm an evil genius and will not be talked to like this,"

She rolled her eyes and hit him but he said nothing, not like Rai who would always cry out and tell her she hit had, maybe her hits had failed along with the time it had been a few years after all.

"You.. little..," he mumbled under his breath nurturing his arm.

"Me.. little.. WHAT?" she said flames erupting in both her palms as she hunched over, foaming at the mouth from determination to kill Jack.

Two arms wrapped around her shoulders and pulled her back.

"Jack," the voice started, "Scat!"

Jack glared at the boy holding back Kimiko, "No!"

The boy's eyes narrowed, "Leave,"

Jack turned around and walked off, his jacket flying in the wind.

"Are you alright?" the boy said letting Kimiko go.

She fell to her knees on the ground and rolled over to face him, "Yup,"

He smiled at her and extended a hand, "Sorry,"

She brushed herself off, "You just saved that guys life!"

He smiled, perfect teeth, and perfect eyes, with the perfect blonde hair, he was in general perfect. She lost herself for a second before turning away and shaking it off.

"He didn't really deserve it though," she said crossing her arms.

Auster shrugged, "Maybe he's got a good stuff,"

"You really are new!" she said throwing her arms up.

He stifled a laugh at that one, sure Jack was evil, but in a really wimpy sense, he wouldn't even hurt a fly and he knew how to be sympathetic at times.

"Yeah, so you come out here a lot?" he said changing the subject, because the Jack one was a bit touchy.

She nodded, "That I do, It's just.. really peaceful, and so beautiful,"

"Kinda like you," he whispered.

She turned around and started at him, "What?"

"Nothing," he said scratching the back of his head, what was he thinking hitting on her, sure he liked her but he had to contain that emotion for now, he had a task and she couldn't get in the way, they could be friends but nothing more.

"Right," she said her ivory cheeks stained crimson from his comment.

He bit his bottom lip, boy was he screwing up, "It is, really beautiful out here, at night with the sun set, something about it just makes me realize that everything I'm regretting and everything bad that's ever happened, it just makes that all go away,"

She stared at him well he sat on the ground, his legs tucked underneath him as he stared up at the breaking day.

"That is, insanely right," she said plopping down next to him.

He turned and smiled at her, well she smiled back her blue eyes locking with his light brown one. He leaned in and wrapped around her neck pulling her in closer. She shut her eyes slowly, trying to soak up this moment, it was how she had always wanted it with Rai but it never had happened, but now it finally was. He pursed his lips just a little bit, so that their lips would touch, he couldn't believe he finally had the chance, he had waited so long and it finally was about to happen.

"Dammit!" a voice from behind a tree cry making them both open their eyes and whip their heads toward it.

Chase smirked to himself, what a great way to break them apart, he smiled at Jack.

"So.."

"Oh," Jack started dropping his hands from the position they were in across his chest, "Nice job breaking up their Kodak moment, your just mad cause he's there for two days and he gets someone and you still can't!"

Chase frowned at him, "Your lucky that he saved you," with that he brought his hands up like he was about to strangle Jack who squealed and ran off.

Kimiko twirled her hair through her finger, "I should go,"

Auster nodded, wiping at his forehead, on the inside, he would always be Raimundo and always get nervous around Kimiko he just couldn't help it. She smiled at him once more though and leaned down letting her lips gently brush his, it wasn't a kiss, it was a taunt. She let her hand fell down his cheek and onto his chest. It was his time but before he even had the chance she had skipped off at the speed of light so he couldn't follow her.

"You petty individual!" Jack cried erupting form the bushes, "You!" he ran his fingers through his flaming hair shaking his head violently.

"Hi Jack," he said letting his tan arms float out from his long sleeved shirt.

Jack shook his head, "Don't you hi Jack me, you can't kiss her!"

"Why not?" he said staring up at the pale boy who was hanging over his face,

"Because, you, your not focusing on what you need to do, if it were me it would of taken me half the time it's taken you so far to get all the bloody shen gong wu and get out! Maybe if you wou-,"

Raimundo stood up and put a hand in front of Jacks face, "Let me do as I please, who got picked for the job,"

Jack glared at him as he walked off, it wasn't fair that, that kid got everything! Chase waved Jack over and he quickly walked over with jealously erupting throughout his veins, hate didn't even begin to describe his feelings towards Raimundo.

Chase hit the smaller boy upside the head, "Knock it off, your jealously is getting rather annoying you ungrateful little piece of-,"

"I'm sorry!" Jack cried falling to his knees, "I'm just so, you care about him more then you've ever cared about me,"

Chase looked down at Jack. Jacks eyes were wide and glistening from small tears forming at the tips, his face was more pale then normal and he just looked sad.

"Get up," Chase said coldly walking off.

Jack shut his eyes slowly and stared at him, "I will not get up!"

Chase narrowed his eyes, "What?"

"I don't have to listen to you!" Jack said falling on his back, "I'm my own person! I'm an individual, a genius who needs no one!"

"You're nothing but an idiot," Chase said yanking the boy up by his shirt collar and then throwing him terribly hard against a tree, "And if you need no one, then don't come find me anymore!" with that he stormed off, his black hair flipping in the wind.

Jack rubbed at his back, "Ouch," but he couldn't pin point why he was saying it, was it the hurt of being told to never go back or the real pain, either way it hurt.

Kimiko ran back in hiding behind Clay and yanking him into a room.

"Oh my god Clay!" she said resting a hand on his chest.

He sighed and sat on the floor with a bowel of popcorn he had just popped for Omi and him, "Yup?"

"Why did Raimundo have to leave?" she said falling next to him.

He stared down at the kernels and handed her the bowl, "Because he had a mission, don't you ever feel like leaving,"

She shoved some in her mouth, "Well yeah, but unlike him I'm not a jerk and goes off doing it, I suck it up and stay here!"

Clay nodded, "What happened?"

"Well, it was perfect, I always wanted to have that movie kiss where all the cards were laid down perfectly but it was just like that and then," she sighed, "Something ruined it, we didn't and I realized that I totally wasn't meant for him,"

Clay shook his head, "Don't believe in those stupid signs, it was just saying maybe you should get to know him a little better or something, I mean Rai's gone, this guy may be better anyways, he's more considerate and helpful and less lazy,"

Kimiko nodded, "He's just better I guess you could say, in a lot of ways,"

She handed Clay back his popcorn and walked over to the door, "Thanks for the pep talk Clay!"

"No problem," he said staring back at forth, he didn't understand how she could go from being that upset to being that content, must be some sort of girl thing that he just would never get.

Raimundo saw her heading for the door, he had heard the whole thing and now he couldn't even maintain his thoughts, no one had really even liked him for himself, he felt awful at that very moment and just wanted to leave it all behind, all over again, but this time he wasn't going to, if they liked him with this identity, he would stay like this and live the rest of his life here like this, it was just what he had to do. He walked off before she opened the door, she may of saw his foot, but he didn't really mind, she wasn't smart enough to put two and two together to see that he had been eavesdropping.
