Kimiko smirked to herself, she had nothing to loose, it was all perfect and that was the fastest she had ever come up with a brilliant plan or convinced herself to do it! She was going to leave Raimundo, leave him there to rot in the dust and watch her skip off with the true love of her life, Auster. She walked out of the bathroom; Clay was waiting by the door to his, his face buried in his hat.
"Hi Clay," Kimiko said lightly, she had completely forgotten about him and Omi and everything that had been happening around her.
He muffled a quick hi and quickly walked into the bathroom. As soon as he was in he locked it and let his large frame fall back onto the door. He buried his head in his hands, tears flying out of his crystal eyes as he repeated the muffle words Omi throughout. It had only been a day, one day and Clay already couldn't handle his loss, he needed Omi, Omi was like his savior, his everything, all that he ever needed and more. Kimiko stood at the door listening to the Texan cry over the loss of his best friend, hearing him be so upset made her upset but since she wasn't about to cry she didn't, she blinked it all back and buried it in the back of her mind. Maybe those tears would come in handy later. Jack walked up behind her, in a perfect Raimundo disguise still and pressed his ear against the door. Following was Raimundo all dressed up as well as he faced Kimiko but kept his ear pressed up. Well the three listened only Raimundo cried. Jack stood their dumfounded and Kimiko kept staring at her shoes. She was in denial, she knew Omi was dead but she wasn't about to believe it. Slipping away from the two boys huddling around her she walked into Omi's cubicle and sat on the floor admiring the surroundings. It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't extravagant, it was perfectly Omi.
"Are you okay?" a shaking voice asked from behind her.
She turned around and ran into the boys arms hugging him, "Oh Raimundo,"
Jack cringed; he asked a question about her feelings not if she needed comforting due to her feelings. Lightly resting his hands along her backside he cradled her there well she sobbed into his shoulder, staining his clothes from her tears that never seemed to stop. Finally after quite a few minutes (For Jack they felt like hours) she stopped and pulled away.
"Thanks, I needed that," she said wiping her nose and rubbing at her eyes still dribbling liquid.
"No problem," Jack answered his own eyes beginning to get tear stained seeing how much impact someone so little had on all these people.
Smiling slowly she finally worked up what she wanted to say, "I really missed you Raimundo, you have no idea how much you mean to me,"
Jack gulped, "I missed you... too," his face fell; frown upon his lips and eyebrows pointing in. What a sap fest, who cares if he left, he was doing just fine and she seemed to have moved on anyways. He snapped up, Raimundo probably felt differently then that on the subject after all Jack wasn't really Raimundo and still didn't have the mind like him.
Kimiko walked off, her eyes gleaming in the light as she waltzed off still letting the words linger on the tip of her tongue.
I love you Raimundo. You I have loved. You I do love. Love you I do…
None of them sounded right, saying that to him just doesn't seem like it would ever feel the same because finally she didn't feel like that for him, she had feelings for someone else. Outside in the emerald grass sat Rai, tear stained eyes and jumbled up hair, he kept looking up at the sky like he was searching for an answer.
"I want it to rain," he said not even turning around to see if anyone was their.
"Me too," Kimiko said staring down at her feet again.
He turned around and faced her, "Let's run away Kimi,"
She cocked her head to the side; this kid must have some freaky element of the mind and has just used wind as his cover all along. It was finally the time, she could if she wanted, or she didn't have to, but she wanted to, she wanted to know what it was like to run away from everything, Clay and his sadness, her and her two guy love triangle, and Raimundo coming back. She wanted to make him feel exactly how he had felt. Sighing she reached her hand out and helped him up.
"Let's run away," her smile turning into just one crooked mess.

"Chase! Chase!"
The raven haired man turned to see a red head cringing from excitement, his eyes dancing with a secret he just couldn't keep to himself.
"What?" the man spat at the goth boy.
"It's Raimundo!" he shrieked jumping up and down.
Chase rose instantly, "What's wrong with him? Is he alright?" he asked, his voice filled with worry and compassion, something he had never shown to Jack.
Jack's face dropped and he slid his hands into his pockets, "He's fine,"
Chase fell back into the chair, "Then what in the world do you want Spicer?"
Jack sighed, his heart heavy and his eyes dropping, "He's going to run away,"
"What?" Chase said slamming his hands down.
"I heard them talking," Jack said, "I think he might unravel his identity,"
Chase shook his head, "You think he's just going to ditch us like that Spicer," Chase chuckled, "You get back their and tell him he does this and th-,"
"Theirs consequences that will follow, blah, blah, everyone knows the drill but you know what I don't' think he really cares, he just lost one of his best friends an-,"
Chase threw his hand up in front of Jack's face, "His best friend, they obviously weren't that GREAT of friends if he left now where they, can we just leave the thinking to me!"
"Fine," Jack grumbled and stormed off.
"Wait," Chase called after him.
Jack turned and walked back towards him, "Yes master?" he said with a mocking tone in his voice.
"You know what this means right?"
Jack shook his head, it was probably something obvious and either he'd get it wrong and look stupid or just not answer and still look stupid, just not as bad.
"You're in charge now, get it all and bring it back to me,"
Jack's eyes lit up, he was in charge of gathering it all and carrying it back to Chase. Jack's eyes were dancing as where his lips and so was he. He picked Chase up and danced around the whole room with him jumping obsessively up and down. Chase went along with it because he didn't want to break the young boy's mood, he finally realized this is what Jack had always wanted and finally he got it, so why down it now. After a few minutes Jack stopped, his once pale cheeks looking almost as red as his hair.
"Sorry," he mumbled.
Chase smiled, "That's quite alright, but now I think you should go back and work on it, maybe talk with that fat kid a bit,"
Jack nodded his head quickly and ran out of the room leaving Chase with a slight smirk and pink cheeks as well.
Jack walked into the temple, all dressed up and ready to talk to the upset Texan. Knocking on the door to the room he had been locked up in all day he waited for a response but nothing came. He knocked again hoping for something because that was always better then nothing.
"What?" a muffled voice asked from inside the room.
"It's J- Raim- Rai…" Jack said scratching his head,
The door cracked open and a hand grabbed Jack's shirt collar and hoisted him up, "Why don't you go run away again, your not welcome here,"
Jack whimpered, "I miss him too,"
"If you really would have missed him, you would of come back, you wouldn't of left in the first place, now that we don't want you here you come back and you won't leave, it's really annoying you know that, your almost as bad as Jack,"
"Hey Jack's not.. all that bad." He said rather offended, "Your just upset, and I understand,"
"Y'know," Clay started, "Fancy how you came right back around as soon as Omi dies?"
Jack gulped, "I didn't do it,"
Clay started to laugh and narrowed his eyes his right hand balled into a fist, "I suggest you leave, and this time don't come back,"
"Clay come on it's me," he said outstretching his arms and staring at the large boy in front of him.
Clay shook his head and slammed the door, "Leave me alone!" he screamed from inside the room.
Jack shook his head, rolled his eyes and stormed off, he could do it on his own, he didn't need Clay's help to get exactly what he needed to impress Chase. With a smile on his face he walked off realizing the whole entire temple was empty and there was no sound except for Clay's faint sobs in the background. His smile grew even wider, this was his chance, he really had his chance.

"I'm scared," the black haired girl stated.
It was late out, the moon was overhead and the sun was safely hidden far beyond their sights. The two were lost in the middle of the woods and Raimundo's temper was working up. He couldn't believe that he had got them lost when he had taken this path a gazillion times.
"It's alright," he muffled under his breath pushing a few branches away.
"What way's out?" she asked tapping her foot up and down, staring him down with her piercing sapphire eyes, and a smirk growing on her face. She was testing him.
"I.. That way," he said pointing towards more tall trees.
"How do you know?" she questioned.
"I just do!" he exclaimed.
"Well, I don't believe you," was her quick response.
"Well then why did you come!?" he asked enflamed with anger.
"Because I thought," she crossed her arms and began to think, "Why did I come with you?"
"I don't know!" he yelled, "But you wanted too,"
"Well it's just, everything was going wrong, and you were my one piece of hope and happiness still left," her voice starting in a scream but slowly fading into a mellow tone.
A smile curled onto his light pink lips, "Am I still even though I got us lost,"
She cocked her head to the side and threw her arms around his waist, "Of course. You didn't loose us, we got lost,"
He rested his hands on her back and smiled, "Cool,"
A pang of guilt shot through Kimiko's stomach, she was betraying everything she once stood for right there and then. Her emotions knotted up all the organs inside of her as names and scenes of her life raced through her mind swirling and trapping her brain all on repeat. They were Omi's dead body, her and Rai's first kiss, Jack being Jack, they were all so pointless at that moment as she stood their in his arms but at the same time they explained everything. She yanked away from his embrace.
"So now that we are lost," pink was creeping up and staining her ivory cheeks, "Now that were ah.. lost.. what do we do,"
A familiar hand wrapped around her waist and spun her around so she was face to face with the blonde, "I can think of a long list," he said, one eyebrow raised and two piercing eyes staring her down.
She felt at that moment that she needed to cover her whole body, having him stare at her made her feel so bare and alone. She yanked away, "I think we should maybe," her head had grown a pulse.
"We should what?" he asked, annoyed but keeping his cool as best he could.
"I think we should…," she couldn't get out the words.
He cocked his head the side and continued staring her down.
"Go home," she whispered quietly and then spoke up.
"We can't go home, we just got here, and come on, going home, what's there?" he asked and had decided that anger was an understatement of how he felt at that moment.
"There's everything their, Clay who's so upset about his dead best friend, my dead best friend, your dead friend, back there it's safe and secure, and I have a bed, and everything's just great," she let out a long sigh, "And theirs Raimundo, cocky, arrogant, obnoxious,"
The boy cocked his head again wondering if their would ever be anything good she'd say about him.
"conceited, amazing, brilliant, wonderful, entrancing, sweet, Raimundo," her lips curled into a smile as she imagined her black hair resting against his bare bronze chest well Clay and Omi discussed something unimportant and Jack was sneaking around yet again and the best part of her fantasy was Auster was no where to be seen.
"Kimiko," his secret hidden underneath his tongue struggling to get out, he opened his mouth to let it all fly out but the courage that had built disintegrated in his stomach and he finished with a, "Let's go home,"
A/N: Well, I didn't do as said, and that's because I'm still deciding weather to kill Omi or not… In my opinion, hated the chapter, it took me forever to write, apologies for the late update, I swear I'll try my hardest to make the next one faster! Review?
