Kim POV

I groaned.

Why did my head hurt so much? Why did I feel all empty and dead inside? Why was I hearing voices?

"Kimiko. Kimiko, are you alright?"

I cracked open my eyes, having it all wash over me again. Rai…the wu…Rai betraying us…God, it was all so awful.

Clay was standing over me, and Omi was at my side. "Not really" I mumbled. I sat up, rubbing my head. Clay and Omi helped me up. Omi's nose was bleeding and Clay had a black eye. I felt my gut hurting from where Rai had kicked me.

"Did he get away?" Omi whispered. I nodded, swallowing extremely hard to keep the tears away.

We all walked out of the vault together, me wiping my eyes and trying not to sob.

Omi was crying. I could tell. I felt sorry for him, because Rai was his best friend, and it had taken a lot for Rai to earn Omi's trust back. All of our trust. And now he just went and destroyed it.

I patted Omi's head comfortingly.

The early breaking of dawn was creeping over the land. The mountains were illuminated in a golden outline as the sun slowly began to rise behind them. A slight breeze disturbed the trees and grass as we made our way into the kitchen. Master Fung sat at the table, waiting for us.

He took one look at our sober faces and asked softly "Again?" I pursed my lips and nodded. "He stole all of the Shen Gon Wu" Omi reported, wiping his eyes with his sleeve. "And then left" Clay added. "He was too strong" I whispered, rubbing my head again, feeling the bump developing where I'd smashed into the wall.

And Rai had said he loved me, my brain screamed.

Yeah, like I can believe that now.

I sighed, and took a seat at the table. Clay and Omi seated on either side of me. Clay stared blankly into space, and Omi had his head put down on the table. I hung my head in my hands, brushing away a tear.

Rai had turned evil again. And it was most likely that he was going to stay there for good.

Rai POV

"I will not!" I hissed at Chase. "Are you sure about that?" Chase taunted, fingering his belt where he kept a gun hidden. I swallowed.

"I though so" Chase grinned. "Now go!"

I scowled, but walked out the front door and whipped out the Long E Kite. "Long E Kite" I muttered murderously. The Long E Kite glowed and started sailing through the air. I couldn't believe I was doing this. I really couldn't believe that they were going to make me kidnap Kimiko.

It's probably because they wanted to make sure that I cooperated. I can't even say how much I didn't want to do this. It was bad enough having to beat up Kim last night, but now I had to kidnap her just so Chase and Wuya could possibly hurt her even worse. I felt awful knowing that I was probably ripping Kim apart, and possibly leading her to her doom.

Kim POV

We sat there, at the kitchen table, Master Fung staring off, troubled, for perhaps a good few hours. Dojo eventually made his way into the kitchen and wrapped himself around Omi's head comfortingly. Omi paid no mind. None of us did. We just sat there, like lumps.

Until we heard a thump from outside.

We all jumped at the sudden noise. Clay, Omi, and I acted instinctively and dashed outside. And who should be standing outside, but Rai, wearing his normal clothes, except they were black. He was also wearing the Third Arm Sash.

"Get out of here, Raimundo!" Clay spat. "Go back to the Heylin side where you belong!" I threw in. Rai chuckled softly, shaking his head. "You'll never learn will you?" he whispered softly.

Suddenly, Rai lunged at me. I screamed, flattening myself against the ground. As Rai sailed over me, I kicked him in the stomach. Rai's breath left him, but he went out of the lunge and came at me again. Omi jumped onto his back, wrestling with him, screaming "Traitor! That's what you are Raimundo! A traitor!"

I jumped up as Rai threw Omi off, yelling "Did you just now figure that out, Cheeseball?" Omi landed on his feet, skidding back a few feet. Rai lunged at me again, and again I dodged, to have Clay knock Rai to the side. Omi jumped at Rai again as Clay was fighting with him. Omi started wrestling with Rai again as Clay punched him in the back. I stayed off to the side. Clearly, Rai wanted me for some reason, but he wasn't going to get me. "Heylin star, wind," Rai cried.

A big burst of wind erupted and Omi and Clay were knocked backward. Using the seconds he had, Rai ran at me and grabbed me around the waist, throwing me over his shoulder. "Let me go Rai!" I shouted. I punched his back several times and started kicking him, but it had no effect.

"Long E Kite!" Rai shouted.

In two seconds he was above the ground, sailing through the air, out of the temple. "Guys, help me!" I shouted. Omi and Clay were chasing after Rai, even though they knew it was not going to have any effect. All they could do was stare helplessly from the ground.

But suddenly, Omi seemed to get an idea and shot a big spurt of water, sky rocketing himself upward, toward Rai and I. But he missed, and fell back down to the ground.

By this time Rai was about two miles out of the temple (the Long E Kite is really fast!), and I knew that Clay and Omi weren't going to get back. "Rai let me go!" I shouted. "Not a chance!" Rai shouted back at me, pulling out a cloth sack from his pocket with the Third Arm Sash. "I'm sorry Kim" Rai whispered, his voice suddenly low. "This is for your own good." And he stuffed me in the sack.

Rai POV

Kimiko was killing my back. Not because of her weight, but because she was kicking and punching the whole time that I was taking her to the palace. She was also killing my ears, with her screaming "Let me out of here, Rai! I swear, when I get out of here I'll…I'll…" And then her voice would trail off as though she were trying to think of a nasty threat. "You should be saving your strength" I whispered. "You're going to need it." "Like I'm going to listen to you know, Raimundo" Kimiko spat.

I sighed. She wasn't going to listen.

After what seemed like forever, we landed in front of the palace and I landed, holding the Long E Kite against my side. Kim was still fighting real hard, although she seemed to be getting tired. I kicked open the doors with my foot to find Wuya and Chase waiting for me. I glared at them, but tossed Chase the Long E Kite and set the sack carrying Kimiko lightly on the ground.

"Like I said, you're not going to get away with this for long" I whispered murderously. "Ah, ah, ah, Raimundo" Wuya sang, "We have a guest." I scowled at her, but slowly opened the sack, grabbing Kimiko as she jumped out. Suddenly, a crashing came from the other room. Wuya rolled her eyes and Chase exhaled slowly, calling "What do you want, Spicer?"

A white hand stuck out from behind the wall. "Uh…hi Chase!" Jack's voice called. "I was just wondering, if you'd like some…Shen Gon Wu?" Chase exhaled slowly, rubbing his temples. "We do not need your Shen Gon Wu, Jack" Chase declared, annoyed. "Now, go home." "Sure Chase, whatever you say!" Jack said, giving him the thumbs up and going away.

Chase exhaled again, whispering "Nuisance."

"Guards!" Wuya shouted. "Take our guest to her room!"

This generally meant 'go throw her in the dungeon while we force Raimundo to do something else'.

Chase's cat warrior things appeared at my side and roughly grabbed Kim from my hands, pinning her arms behind her back, forcing her to walk. "Don't hurt her!" I cried. Kimiko looked at me, confused. "Don't worry, we will" one of the guards laughed.

And then they walked down the stairs and disappeared into the darkness of the dungeon.

I swallowed. I prayed that they wouldn't hurt Kim.

Now, I turned to Wuya and Chase. Wuya was smiling sweetly, and Chase was looking as calm as normal. "Now, Raimundo" Wuya said sweetly. "Why don't you go and rest? You look exhausted." I raised my eyebrow at her, but didn't refuse. I walked out of the room, headed towards the staircase toward my room, but then bolted down the hall, toward where the guards had disappeared with Kim.
