I wanted this chapter up yesterday, but hey, it is up now. So I am not going to keep you from reading this. (Sorry if the editing sucks.)

Oh, and thank you so much for the reviews and follows/favorites! It means so much!

%%%...%%%

Izzy pulled Raimundo into a side conference to fill him in on everything that Lina had done since he left, which he had supposedly caused. Unfortunately that meant Kimiko and Lina were on their own, as the two boys conferenced.

Kimiko was pacing around a tad before she decided to sit down criss crossed apple sauce, across from where Lina was already playing with the sand. Kimiko didn't have to look up to know that Lina was staring at her, which caused her to feel awkward, yet again.

'It couldn't get any more awkward.' Kimiko thought. 'I have dealt with worse than this.'

In fact she had. Being the heiress of her father's company meant run ins with reporters and photographers, and real awful questions. She survived through terrible rumors about her, and just mean people in general. If she could deal with that, she could do her best to deal with Raimundo's cranky sister.

Kimiko looked up and met Lina's hard gaze. "What?" she quipped out.

Lina leaned back on her hands, as if sizing her up before speaking. "Why are you here?"

Kimiko raised an eyebrow with her, confused by her question. "I came with your brother." She stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"No, why are you here, with my brother." She sighed out, sounding annoyed.

Kimiko's mouth went into a thin line, and her stare became a little cold, before something hit her. She was jealous that Raimundo was with her. I mean she was his little sister. "We are searching for something." Her answer was vague, but she figured that she shouldn't tell her what they were looking for until Rai told her and Izzy the reason he left.

"Everything makes so much more sense now." She faked happiness, before glaring at Kimiko.

Kimiko on the other hand, brought out her all out glare. She kept herself from smirking when she saw Lina falter, but she needed to get something through to her first. "Look, I am not going to tell you anything." She said quietly. "That is something your brother has to tell, not me."

Her words sounded harsh, but Kimiko felt that she wasn't going to take her seriously if she didn't.

"Are you dating my brother?" Lina asked out of the blue, knocking Kimiko for a loop.

Kimiko felt her face start to heat up, and her mouth opened and closed a few times like a fish in water. She finally got over her shock though. "Yeah." She answered shyly, looking at the ground.

"I am going to level with you," Lina started, "I really don't like you. And now that he is back, I don't want anyone taking him away again. That means you." She said menacingly.

Lina was about to continue, but she was cut off. "Your brother didn't run away to be with me. I met him a couple of months ago. He helped me out of an awful place, with even worse people. And weren't you the one just a little while ago saying he can make his own decisions. If he stays isn't up to you, or me. It is up to him."

Izzy and Raimundo broke up their meeting just in time to turn around to see Kimiko staring off moodily in one direction; well Lina was glaring daggers at her. Raimundo knew it would be a mess if they were to meet up with any one of his family, but he was not expecting this at all.

Raimundo looked at Izzy, who didn't seem to notice the tension, or chose to ignore it, as he gained the girls attentions. "Okay Rai, lets hear this explanation, and then you can admit it was your fault for Lina becoming a wild child."

Raimundo glared at him, but sat down with Kimiko and Lina to his sides, well Izzy was sitting across from him. "The day before I left, a guy came to the door asking to speak with me, and mom and dad." He said starting to play with the sand, still not comfortable telling what happened. "It was Chase Young, and he offered me an opportunity."

"What was that opportunity?" Lina budded in, still glaring at Kimiko.

Rai was looking down, so he didn't notice this as he continued. "It was the opportunity to train under him, be his apprentice of sorts. I would still learn things like in school, but I would also be practicing and learning martial arts."

"Okay." Lina and Izzy spoke in unison, urging him to continue.

"Of course the million dollar question at the time was why me. The parentals were already having a hard time believing what he was saying. When Chase explained himself as to why I was chosen, I thought dad's head was going to explode." Rai looked at Kimiko when he said this, because he knew that she would understand the situation the best.

"He explained that I am the Dragon of the Wind." Kimiko smiled at him reassuringly as he explained, which he returned.

"Is this some sort of joke? Are we not worth the damn truth?" Izzy exploded at his brother. How could he not tell them the truth? They were family after all.

"This isn't a joke Izzy!" Rai yelled.

"Well why don't you prove it then?" Lina challenged, not believing him either.

"Fine, but Kimi, you are joining me."

"What? Why?!"

"Because we might as well let them know what you can do too!" Rai grinned at her pulling her up by her arm.

Kimiko sighed, but complied anyway. "How are we doing this then?"

"Battle?" Rai proposed.

"Too much attention."

"Basics. That is no fun."

"Raimundo."

"Fine."

"Anytime now. Unless you can't." Izzy teased, sporting almost the same grin as Raimundo's.

Rai just glared at him, but soon had his famous grin on his face as the wind started to pick up, just around him. His hair blew widely around, and soon enough, his feet weren't touching the ground anymore.

Lina and Izzy both went wide eyed, with their mouths hanging open. Rai then put his feet back on the ground, but wasn't done yet, as the winds shifted to Kimiko, who was preparing to sit back down, and lifted her in the air.

She was messily floating about in the air, doing her best to keep from doing just that but was failing miserably. "Raimundo stop this! Put me down!" she yelled.

"Make me." He taunted.

Kimiko grimaced at him. "Rai!"

"Yelling isn't going to work."

Kimiko knew he was just getting her angry, but couldn't help herself. She lit up. Her palm facing the sky as fire appeared in it. Then as soon as she got enough aim, she shot it at him. He dodged with ease however, but let out a yelp as a fire blast singed a tip of his hair.

He let the winds drop her, but he was waiting to catch her. He caught her around the waist, her feet still not touching the ground. Her hands were sprawled on his shoulders, but she was still mad. "Ass." She muttered.

"I can't believe this." Izzy stared at the two. "This is just… I can't believe this."

Raimundo put Kimiko down, but didn't move from her side, as he stared at the ground again. "Mom and Dad wouldn't let me. They were furious that I wanted to go, that I believed him. I hardly remember what things we yelled at each other after Chase had left." Rai admitted. "I just know that things were said that I meant at the time, but later come to realize they were worried."

Raimundo turned darker though. "Well mom was. Dad just doesn't tolerate people disobeying him." Lina and Izzy nodded their heads in agreement at that. "We always had a rocky relationship, because I was, and I guess am still reckless. And the fact that I wanted to run off to China with some strange guy meant that he couldn't keep control."

"When dad ran out of words." Rai broke off at this point stepping from Kimiko and walking a little ways away from everyone before turning back, looking mad. "It will never be forgiven, and I will return the favor if I see him."

"What happened?" Lina asked standing up walking up to him. Izzy followed as well, but gave him space.

"It is the main reason I didn't say bye to anyone, or tell anyone. I didn't want anyone to see, and I still can't believe he did it." Rai said softly.

"Raimundo." Izzy said brotherly, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Rai locked eyes with his brother, sighing in defeat. "He hit me."

Lina's hands covered her mouth as she stared at her brother. Izzy tightened his grip on his shoulder before hugging him. Nothing else seemed as good, nothing. Nothing could change what happened, and he felt guilty for hating him when he left.

Rai hugged his brother back, and Lina joined in soon after.

The moment was soon ruined however by Raimundo. "As nice and heart felt as this is, there is another reason I am here."

The siblings backed off, looking at him with raised eyebrows. "We," he said motioning to Kimiko, "have a mission to do."

"Wonderful." Was Lina's immediate response.

"What the hell is your problem?" Rai barked at her.

"I can give a guess." Izzy chimed in earning a glare from everyone in the vicinity.

Lina went into a defensive pose, as she spoke up. "Her!" she pointed at Kimiko who was just standing there, her arms crossed; now looking at her in disbelief.

"Are you pissed because she beat that creep up? I hit him first if you didn't notice!" He clarified, thinking that was the problem.

Izzy just smiled, as he spoke. "Oh no, that is not it." He laughed. "Lina thinks you replaced her, with her." He said it very care freely, like it was no big deal.

"You're kidding." Rai said dryly looking at his sister.

Lina just let out a huff in response, at the same time Raimundo let out a huge sigh. He never thought that this would be a problem, and there for, he had no idea how to even fix this problem. All he could do was look at Izzy with pleading eyes.

…..

"Raimundo's brother?" Jermaine questioned, shocked.

"I did even think he had a family." Dojo spoke out, which isn't always the best thing to do. "I honestly thought Chase just molded him out of clay."

Alex glared at Dojo. "I don't really know what you are, but I will not hesitate to hit you."

"Instead of some unnecessary violence, maybe you would like to help us find your brother?" Clay proposed being the peacemaker he usually was.

"Why should I?" Alex grinned at them. "You said you were enemies."

"They are most defiantly related." Omi glared.

Jermaine just rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Maybe an enemy wasn't the correct terminology. We are more like competitor's in… like…in…" Jermaine cut off trying to think of something that would fit with this current twist of the truth. Luckily Clay caught on to his train of thought, and finished for him.

"Like a race." Clay said smiling. Omi was about to contradict the story, but both Clay and Jermaine put a hand over his mouth.

"So, my brother is actually here then?" Alex asked skeptically. He knew that these people were lying about this race thing, but he was extremely curious as to if his brother was here, and where.

A smile graced his mouth, much like if he were messing with Jack again. "A race you say? What are you racing to?"

"Well a treasure, but we have to find my weapon along the way!" Omi beamed at him. "This reminds me why we came to the fountain." He hurriedly said before running back to the fountain, everyone else walking up to it, except Jack who had snuck away a few minutes earlier.

The fountain center was a St. Christopher statue. It was the traditional one, where he had the baby on his shoulders, and then the walking stick in his hand. But on either side of the statue, stood two fountains spewing water into the air, and over the statue.

Alex glanced at the monks, just trying to get a read of them. If these people were actually here for some treasure, maybe then Raimundo was actually here. He wasn't going to give his hopes up to soon however until he had more proof.

"There!" Omi shouted pointing to the walking stick. At the top of the stick a piece that didn't quite fit in with the rest of the material. It seemed clearer, and well lighter colored then the rest of the cement.

"Well, how will you get it down?" Alex grinned. He was hoping that these guys were just as foolish, and clumsy as Jack. But he shut his mouth as Omi literally jumped into action.

Well a leap was the better word. In his one leap, he was able to grab onto the walking stick, and climb his way to the top, like it was a rope. He made it to the top in no time at all, but struggled for a time, trying to pull it off the stick. He had to use both his hands to pull it off, but then was taking by surprise as the weapon gave way.

Alex went wide eyed as the water seemed to rush Omi's aid as he fell. It swirled around under his feet before turning to ice, that he slid down as if he were snowboarding (not that he knew what that was). As soon as his feet hit the ground again, the ice returned to the water state.

Alex whirled around the area, looking for people who just saw what he did. "Did anyone seriously not see that?!" he shouted, but the noise of the festival made his words inaudible to the people walking around.

"Ya know, it would help us out a lot if you didn't bring anymore unwanted attention ta' us." Clay told him, "We stand out enough as it is." He finished putting his hands in his back pockets.

Alex now felt like he was the crazed person among these people, as he stared at them. "Uh, sure." He said hesitantly.

"Great!" Omi exclaimed, "Now to find the treasure, and your brother!"

…..

"Lina," Izzy started, "this isn't something to be jealous about. I mean that relationship is different than a brother sister one you do realize."

"So." Was her only argument.

Raimundo then interrupted. "Look, we really do have to continue our mission."

"How do you even know where you are going?" Izzy quizzed.

"I just know." Raimundo looked at him. "So come on Kimiko."

"Hold on. That's it." Lina put her hands on her hips. "You are leaving."

Raimundo looked at his sister in complete seriousness. "Lina, I have to. It's part of my responsibilities now."

"What about your family!" she shouted at him.

"That is part of my responsibilities now. I quit what I am doing; it hurts more than just my family. It could hurt more people. So many people." He told her honestly.

He then started walking back down the trail, Kimiko just starting to follow him, before he turned around and dragging Kimiko back muttering swears under his breath. "What?" Kimiko asked as she was being dragged.

"It's the monks." He told her in a low voice.

"Who are they?" Izzy and Lina asked together.

"Well we have to beat them to a treasure." Rai grimaced looking down the trail, seeing Clay's hat, and just the top of Jermaine's head.

"We are not making it cleanly out of this one Rai." Kimiko looked at him, appearing calmer than she actually was.

"Prepare for a most humiliating defeat!" Omi's voice then broke the panic.

Kimiko soon put up a wall of fire between them, before pushing Raimundo in the opposite direction. "Go get you weapon, I will hold them off, or something like that." She attempted to smile reassuringly at him, but knew she failed by the look he gave her.

Rai knew he needed his weapon, and hoped it wouldn't take him so long. "Fine." He gave her a short kiss, before sprinting off in the opposite direction.

The wall of fire, soon dissipated by a spray of water. "Now prepare for a humiliating defeat."

"Izzy, Lina." Alex waved.

%%%...%%%...

Tada! How was that! They finally caught up to each other in the small town

A review or two would be wonderful, and hopefully a chapter will appear fast, like this one.
