After a few more minutes Raimundo got his breath back and with his normal cocky grin said "well I guess that answers my question" kimiko just smiled and lent in for another kiss. But just as she was about to kiss him she got the feeling they where being watched again. She looked Raimundo in the eye and he nodded he had felt it to. Slowly they both got up then made a big noise about carrying this on in the garden at the back of the temple. As they walked to the garden they kept feeling they where being watched. They knew it wasn't Omi or Clay or even master Fung it was someone who knew the temple or knew how to hide well.
Once they reached the garden they lay down on the grass and looked at the stars. Raimundo ever so quietly told kimiko "I'm going to make a wind up and have it blow around if it hits anything that shouldn't be here then I'll know" kimiko as way of an answer just held Raimundo tighter and continued to watch the stars. Kimiko had a feeling she knew who it was but she wasn't going to say anything just yet. A few seconds later Raimundo whispered in to her ear "there's some one in the tree we where sitting under from what the wind can tell me their female and their about my height" that tossed Kimiko's idea out the window. She didn't know any one who was about Raimundo's height and a girl.
Deciding that if the person wanted to watch them kimiko decided to give them some thing to watch. Moving so she was straddling Raimundo, Kimiko started to kiss Raimundo all over his face before kissing him full on the mouth. Kissing him felt so good to her. His lips were soft and warm, inviting. When their tongues met, she lost all self control and grounded her lower half into his. He grabbed her hips to stop her frantic movements, knowing he wouldn't be able to control himself if she kept it up. He was already losing a battle with his hormones as her hands caressed his chest. He pushed himself up from the ground, sitting up with her still in his lap. Her hands fell from his chest and rested below his belly button. He hissed and pressed kisses across her neck line, trying to distract her. Her top had shifted and revealed some of her cleavage and her shoulders which was only tempting him more. Her fingers stopped briefly when his hands began to lift her top. His hands slid up her back and pushed her closer to him. She rested her forehead against his, catching her breath as his hands moved from her back to her chest.
Kimiko whispered "Rai I don't feel like I'm being watched any more" hiding his answer by continuing his assault on her neck Raimundo answered "me neither, but then I don't care if any one sees us, I love you and I'm not going to let anyone hurt you, now or ever" kimiko smiled, while she was a independent young woman, the fact that Raimundo had basic promised he wasn't going to let her get hurt in any way gave her a sense of love she hadn't felt since before her mother had died. Remembering that Raimundo had no mother too as well as no father made his silent promise all the more special to her. Kimiko moved her hands so they where under Raimundo's shirt and ran her hand up Raimundo's bear chest. She knew what she was doing to him but she couldn't stop.
Raimundo pulled away and said "look kimiko I'm really enjoying this and I'm enjoying it too much to let it end but if you don't stop what your doing our first time tougher won't be as special as I want it to be for you" kimiko signed and laid her head on Raimundo's chest "I know Rai I just well I wanted to be sure this was real I guess" Raimundo smiled and gently brushed Kimiko's hair out her eyes and away from her face before leaning down and kissing her forehead "sweetheart if this is a dream which I'm sure it isn't then I never want to wake up, but I've been training all day and need my sleep" kimiko nodded in to Raimundo's chest she understood she was kind of tired herself. But she was so comfortable she didn't want to move, so when Raimundo suggested that they lie down and watch the star for a little while longer, she didn't say anything.
That's the way Master Fung , Omi and Clay found them the next morning laying out in the temple garden with kimiko resting her head on Raimundo's chest and Raimundo's arms wrapped tightly around kimiko. Both where so deeply asleep they didn't notice the others coming up behind them. Clay and Omi where carrying glasses of cold water. They saw this as a chance to get Raimundo and kimiko back for the pranks they had pulled on them a month ago. When the cold water came in contact with Raimundo and Kimiko's skin the two dragons yelled loud enough to wake the dead and started to chase Clay and Omi around the temple.
While this was happening master Fung watched from a distance. He had known of Raimundo's and Kimiko's feelings towards each other for a long time, and had known that one day they would tell each other and start a relationship. He had hoped they would do it later in life when they where no longer living at the temple but it seemed his wishes had not been answered. As he watched Raimundo and kimiko chasing Omi and clay master Fung made the hard choice to tell the two love birds a secret he had been keeping to himself since the moment they had all arrived at the temple.
"Raimundo, kimiko can you come with me please" master Fung called over to them. Raimundo and kimiko stopped chasing Omi and Clay; they could hear the unhappiness in master Fung's voice. When they reached master Fung he steered them in to a small disused room and asked them to sit. He closed the door and sat in front of them. "Raimundo, kimiko what I'm about to tell you may make your love stronger or break you both" Raimundo and kimiko looked at each other and with out thinking took hold of one another's hands.
"Raimundo, Kimiko for as long as there has been evil so has there been good, since the beginning of time good always triumphed over evil, not through strength of numbers or though magic or any kind of powerful object. No good has always won because good people always fight for love and with honour. Love is the most powerful force in this and any other world. It can not be given to you by any witch or warrior. No spell or power can bring it forth. You can't buy it or borrow it from some one else. You can't teach it, everyone is born with it they just have to step forward and claim it as theirs. It's in every heart no mater how evil the rest of the person is. But this power is also goods greatest weakness for the death or capture of a loved one can make us do silly things. Which is why I must ask you both if this is just a crush or if you both truly love one another, before I go on"
Raimundo looked at kimiko and knew what he had to do. Standing up Raimundo took a deep breath and told master Fung how deep his feeling for kimiko where.
"master Fung look I know I'm not the most trustworthy of people and I know I can be rash and pig headed some times, but do you know what I realised when we fought to reverse Omi's time travelling mishap I realized that I'd love kimiko till I died but that I couldn't live with myself if I couldn't keep her safe. I knew if she died before I got to tell her how I felt and to find out if she liked me back then just like the wind I would be completely wild. But when she kissed me and I found out she felt the same I knew that even if she died tomorrow then I wouldn't stop fighting in fact I would fight in her name, and at that moment I swore to myself that no matter what happens to us weather we break up or end up living our lives tougher, weather we die tougher or die separate, I know that kimiko is the reason I fight and will keep fighting even if we're no longer tougher or breathing. I will stand up and fight evil and if need be I will fight all my friends even you master Fung. Kimiko's love is what makes me strong and I know that no matter what kind of love I receive from her weather it be love for a lover or love for a brother it will only serve to make me stronger, even if that love comes from her grave. So if you tell us we can't be tougher or we can't be on the same team and be tougher then fine but let me tell you I'm only here and who I am today because of kimiko and no matter what you say or do I will always find a way to her or die trying"
When he had finished Raimundo looked down at kimiko, there were tears in her eyes and Raimundo knew they where there because of what he had said. Stooping down Raimundo opened his arms wide inviting kimiko in, and she practically feel in to them she hugged him so tight that Raimundo had the fleeting thought that she was trying to fit in to his skin. But that though was soon put to rest when kimiko pulled his head down and kissed him senseless. This entire time master Fung sat with a surprised but happy look on his face.
Raimundo's answer had told him all he needed to know, master Fung would never have to question Kimiko's feelings towards the fight and Raimundo if the way she was currently kissing Raimundo was any indication. Clearing his throat master Fung brought Raimundo's and Kimiko's attention back to himself. When they where both seated this time with kimiko curled up in Raimundo's lap master Fung began again.
"Raimundo and kimiko now and never again will I doubt you're love for one another or you deviation to our fight against evil. But before we go any further I must tell you an old story about two warriors who once lived here. Their names where Hikaru and Lucy they where the yin and the yang warriors, Hikaru and Lucy were both born of a good person and an evil one, They where sent to the temple to be kept safe, where they could grow up with help to control their evil side and to help us fight evil, but I'm afraid we did not count on them falling in love.
At first we thought it would make them stronger and it did for a short time. But all too soon came a time when Hikaru and Lucy came to odds. Lucy was pregnant with Hikaru's child and she wanted to not give up the fight even after the baby was born. While Hikaru didn't want Lucy to keep fighting after she had the child. This divided them. When he was out walking one night Hikaru came across an old woman who told him that the child Lucy carried wasn't his. Hikaru at first refused to believe this but as days went on he began to wonder if maybe what the woman said was true. Evil took advantage of this and worked hard to convince Hikaru that the child wasn't his and that Lucy was cheating on him.
After a while it worked and with a broken heart believing that Lucy didn't love him Hikaru killed him self not being able to handle the pain. When Lucy heard this news it forced her in to early labour, an early labour for which her body was not prepared. Had it been she would have survived. She left the child in the care of the temple. She was buried next to Hikaru. The reason I tell you both this story is to show you what will happen if you ever stop trusting one another. You see kimiko your mother was good but your father has some evil in him making you not just the dragon of fire but also the yin warrior.
It's the same with you Raimundo your mother was good but your father was evil and I know that you saw how evil. But this also makes you not just the dragon of wind but also the yang warrior. Tougher you two are strong but apart you may just be the death of each other. You see while the warriors where dead their powers lived on and every now and again a new yin and yang warrior will be born and they will come to the temple where they will find and fall in love with each other. But untimely one will stop trusting the other and this will lead both to their deaths. But it is written that one day a yin and yang warrior will share a love so true that no matter what any one says they will trust one another. When a yin warrior and a yang warrior do that they will be the last yin and yang warriors and they will also be evils undoing. For evil would not be able to handle the power of their love"
Master Fung looked at the two young monks. They had a look of understanding on both their faces and also had the look of love in their eyes. Master Fung stood up and walked up to the door and when the door was opened Omi and Clay fell into the room looking astonished and puzzled. They stood up as soon as possible and looked to Master Fung, Raimundo and kimiko. Raimundo and Kimiko had a look of disbelief on their faces they couldn't believe that Omi and Clay were listening into the private conversation.
"Master Fung I have never heard of these yin and yang warriors are you sure that they even exist Such warriors would be very powerful but I have studied every scroll in this temple and have not seen anything mentioned in the scrolls about the yin yang warriors how can you prove that they exist." Omi said
Master Fung walked up to the two monks and simply bowed his head before leaving the room, leaving kimiko and Raimundo to explain to their two friends. But they couldn't think of the words to explain how right it felt to be called the yin yang warriors, just as Raimundo came up with the words to tell the others about the legend his mobile rang and he answered it wondering who could be calling him.
'Hey Raimundo how's my favourite warrior doing'
"Hey dad I'm alright ur I'm kind of busy at the moment is this just a social call or is something up with the others"
'yeah it's about Grace she's gone missing we got a note that says to tell you that unless you join the heylin side we will never see her again its signed by somebody called the dragon of the night does that name ring any bells to you'
