A sinking feeling erupted in Kimiko's stomach, was it hunger, or nausea, or was it guilt. She clutched it tightly and realized it was her third choice; everything she had spewed just came back and hit her in the face. She was always the type of girl to do before thinking which she should of known would come back to haunt her.

If he just would of stayed! She cried out in her mind.

Her mind was completely lost in space, she couldn't come back to earth is she wanted too, in fact she couldn't even feel Omi pulling on her shirt until he crawled up onto her shoulders.

"Omi," she shrieked pushing him off and stomping her foot.

He wiped his robes off and stared up at her with really wide eyes, she had never seen him with such a glazed over look.

"Omi?" she said again just with a more compassionate and questioning voice.

"Ra- Ra-, Rai," he tried to say.

She kneeled down to his height, "What is it Omi?"

"Raimundo's back!" he blurted out swinging both his left and right arm all around in the air.

She cocked her head and shook it, "Omi that's really mean,"

"What?" he said, his natural sun kissed skin draining to a pale white.

"If you were trying to make a joke to me on it, well it's not funny," she said crossing her arms.

"But really, he is!" Omi cried, "Look for yourself?"

She swatted him away walking into a different room only to see what she had never expected.

"Raimundo," her lips formed but no sound came out.

He held his arms out but she refused to move forward and give him a hug. Shaking her head she pushed Clay who had emerged in front of her and stood back by Auster who had a glare piercing both his eyes. Clay stared at the boy, a blink here and a blink there before tilting his hat forwards as though to welcome him back.

Kimiko just shook her head at Clay's actions and turned around to walk off and Clay and Omi ran after him, the only one staying was Auster who approached the emerald eyed boy standing before him.

He stared him up and down how could this be, he who was going by Auster was really Raimundo, so how possibly could Raimundo be back.

"Surprise," the voice said, mildly high but keeping a whispering tone.

"Jack," he hissed.

The former redhead scratched his newly brown hair, "That would be me,"

"What the hell?" he screamed yanking at Jack's hair trying to pull off the chocolate wig surrounding the flaming crimson hair underneath.

Jack swatted his hand away, "Knock it off, this is what Chase wants!"

Raimundo narrowed his eyes, "He never addressed this with me!"

Jack crossed his arms, "Why should he have too,"

Raimundo shook his head, the blonde wig falling from his head to the ground.

"Might wanna pick that up," Jack said staring at it.

"NO!" Raimundo practically screamed.

Jack put both his hands up in defense, "Put it back on otherwise have you any idea what Chase could do to you,"

"I don't give a fuck what Chase will do to me," Rai started spinning around and stomping around the room, "In fact, I want you to take that wig off and those contact outs otherwise I'll myself rip out your eyes and all your hair!"

"Listen," Jack said holding out an accusing finger, "You fuck with this plan and I swear to god you'll have no one to turn to in the end!"

"I don't need anyone, I'm just fine alone!" Raimundo screamed out.

"Woah," a voice said from the doorway.

The two boys similar in height and at that very moment similar in looks screamed, "Omi!"

"Kimiko! Clay!" Omi started to cry out and pointing back and forth between the two Raimundo's standing before him.

Raimundo glanced at Jack who immediately plunged forward tackling Omi to the ground. Jack pulled out his fist, beige dust falling from his white skin all over Omi as he punched him repeatedly throwing him around the ground. Omi had blood dribbling down the side of his lip, his eye was swollen shut and he was up against a wall Jack still beating at him. The small yellow boy glanced up at Rai with the most sympathetic look ever. Raimundo stared at Jack and back at Omi, it was either stick up for Omi or keep his army, he picked army. Turning away from the two fighting he just picked up his wig and threw it back on his head.

"You know Jack," he started positing the wig back in place, "Omi'll rat us out if we don't get rid of him,"

Jack wrapped his thin fingers around Omi's neck so he wouldn't make a sound, "Are you saying we should kill him,"

Raimundo's eyes began to burn, "That's right,"

Omi tried to let out a scream but nothing would come. He tried to claw at Jack's hands, trying to rip them from his scrawny neck but it just wouldn't work, Jack had muscles finally, and a lot of them. Jack tightened the grip on the rounded head boy's neck and picked him up so they were face to face. With spit foaming from the redhead's mouth and eyes blazing he threw him right across the room making sure to crack Omi's neck in the process. There was a loud thump, and blood began to trickle around the lifeless body on the ground. Both Rai and Jack walked over, staring at it, trembling in their place. Jack's hands were shaking uncontrollably, he had never in his life done that, he had only plan, at that moment he felt like truly evil and as for Raimundo, he dropped to his knees. With hands and feet moving he crawled to the corner letting a pale goo fly from his mouth and onto the ground.

Jack walked over and rested a hand on Rai's shoulder, "You gonna be okay?"

Raimundo nodded, "You need to make yourself a bit more tan," he paused and took a gasp for air, "If your gonna pass off as me,"

Jack smirked, everything was in the palm of his hands at that moment, he was on cloud nine, it was all per-

"What the!" a voice cried.

Both the boys spun around staring at a startled girl with an ivory hand covering her mouth.

"What.. happened?" she stumbled.

Jack glanced at Raimundo who stood up from the corner.

"Auster," she said trembling in her place.

Her legs were shaking so bad she collapsed but luckily the blonde boy caught her in his arms taking one last glance at Jack who he knew could wiggle his way out of this. Jack didn't though, he didn't look much like Rai with his pale skin at that very moment but that was all right because the lightning was bad. But he couldn't talk otherwise they'd know, he walked past Kimiko being held tightly, Omi lying helplessly against the wall, and Clay who's face was completely blank, he left it all quickly.

"Dammit," Rai mumbled under his breath grasping Kimiko just a bit tighter well he could.

She put a hand on his chest, "Get me outta here,"

He picked her up nodding for Clay to come but Clay just stood their, his once light eyes now dark and cold, his normal light colored face was burning red with fury, no one dared speak to him at that moment. With Kimiko in his arms Rai just walked out unable to look back.

Clay waited till everyone was gone, he walked into the room and collapsed onto his knees and broke into sobs. Tears fell from his eyes from his eyes like rain fell in a downpour, he gasped for air every so often but on the inside he felt so dead. He crawled over to Omi and grasped the boy in his arms.

"Omi," Clay whispered and then rested his head on Omi's chest.

He listened closely for some form of heartbeat but all he could hear was his blood rushing quickly through his mind, trying not to explode, whoever had killed Omi was going to pay, and it was either Raimundo, or Auster. Clay had never been violent, he hated being violent and attacking anyone, violence had never been his answer but now all of a sudden it seemed like his everything, Omi was the only one who could keep him gentle, and now that he was gone what did it matter if he was gentle. He set Omi down gently, no one was to deal with his dead body except for Master Fung, and that would be saved for later anyways. He walked out of the room and searched for Raimundo, he seemed more important to deal with at the moment; I mean it had been two years hadn't it. Jack had just gotten down tanning his skin all over again, he set down the brush he had used and stared into the mirror studying his new complexion. Clay walked up behind him.

"You haven't changed much," Clay said.

Jack gulped and attempted at deepening his voice, "You either,"

Clay nodded, his eyes were still as bloodshot as ever and tears were still pouring down the tips of his eyelids, "Yeah, guess so,"

"I can't believe this," Jack said trying to think of what Raimundo would actually say in this position, "As soon as I finally get to see all of you, that," he thought, "Stupid blonde killed Omi, man I miss him,"

Clay looked up at him, "Auster killed him,"

He nodded, "Yup, with his bare hands, and as for Kimiko, is she with him now? What is he even doing here, with my element, my everything, you missed me didn't you Clay?"

Clay stood up, "Well yeah, but he kinda came after you had left, I mean it was your choice to leave and you..," he rose his voice a bit, "You left and now you come back bearing apologies, asking for our forgiveness, mad that Kimiko didn't wait for you, and mad that someone else is here how dare you!"

Jack's hands flew up, "Woah Clay, I didn't, I just,"

Clay pointed towards the door, "Get out, just leave this temple we don't want you back,"

"Yes Clay, we do," a voice said.

"Master Fung!" Clay cried, "No we don't!"

Master Fung nodded, "Omi left and Raimundo came, he left in the past, and after all, yesterday is history.."

"What are you talkin' about!" Clay cried out,

Master Fung put up a hand, "Don't live on the past Clay, now if you'd excuse Raimundo and I,"

Clay stood up shooting the brunette a death glare, in Clay's eyes weather Raimundo stayed or left, in his heart he would never be welcomed again.

Jack bit his bottom lip and stared up at Master Fung who was either really stupid or really blind, he couldn't tell his own monks from his worst enemies.

"Tragic," he started.

Master Fung stared at him, "Why are you back Raimundo?"

"I'm back because I missed it, I missed it all, you, Kimiko, Clay, especially Omi," tears filled his eyes, "Those two years were filled with a battle of my own, it was never how I wanted it to work out,"

Master Fung walked over to the boy wrapping his arms into a hug, "I may welcome you with open arms Raimundo but the others may not be so keen on you, they have Auster now, and they like him, their still very angry with you for you're leaving,"

"I understand completely,"

Master Fung nodded and walked out, he couldn't bear the good things and the bad things happening all at once, it was hard on someone as old as he was.

That's it! Jack thought, Master Fungs gonna pat my back and welcome me back to the temple, Clays gonna make his fatass go all guilt trip on me and Kimiko's just gonna stick with Auster.. or shall I say Raimundo.. pfft.. as long as I get those shen gong wu before Rai and Chase is all proud of me and kick-

"Jack!" a voice snapped.

"Yeah," Jack said gathering himself back up into reality.

"Chase, you, and me, tonight after the sun sets,"

"Whatever Raimundo," Jack said slapping his hand.

"Yeah, whatever," Raimundo said on the brink of his own tears.

"What?" Jack said with a squeaky high pitched voice.

"Whatever," Raimundo said burying his head in his hands, "Omi's gone,"

Jack was never good with things like this, comfort wasn't his specialty especially when the person was supposed to be evil, it just wasn't supposed to work like this.

"Listen Rai, it's me as you now, and your Auster, I told Clay you killed Omi so you have some things to cover up an-," his whole body fell to the ground.

"You what?" the real Raimundo said, his eyes bloodshot and tired looking.

"What," Jack squealed.

Raimundo picked him up by the shirt collar and threw him agaisnt the wall again, "Don't you e-,"

"Auster," a light voice from behind said making him shut up.

He spun around, "Kimiko,"

"Why are you yelling at Raimundo?" she asked, her own eyes very bloodshot.

"Well, I just, him and I are old friend, right.." he stopped, he wasn't used to calling someone else by the name, "Right Raimundo,"

Jack looked up from the ground, "Not so much friends," he said brushing himself off, "Kimiko, it's nice to see you again,"

Kimiko stared up at the boy that she believed was Raimundo, "On your part," she clutched to Auster's arms, gripping it like a teddy bear.

Both of them dropped their jaws and stared at her, was she really being that cold hearted to Rai, the one she had once been so deeply in love with.

She glared at him still clutching the blonde boys arm, "Anyways, if you'd ever like to even be part of us..," she stopped, "Three again I suggest you start working on Clay, he's very angry with you,"

She dropped his arm and turned to walk out, she came their to talk to Raimundo but know that she was face to face, she just couldn't do it, he needed to see though she had moved on from him and was for Auster now, she hoped it hurt him, she hoped it hurt him about as much as it hurt her.

"Oh it hurts," Raimundo thought watching her walk off and knowing exactly what was on her mind right then.

A/N: Took me forever to update and write this chapter, sorry school blows, I'm so busy! So hope this wasn't to confusing, just remember Jack's Raimundo and Raimundo's Auster, any questions just ask. Anyways, what did you think, am I going to fast, is it to sloppy, to much this person, to little that one? Thanks for reading and reviews are deeply appreciated!
