Chapter Twelve: A Broken Heart
Kimiko noticed that Raimundo was looking passed her, not exactly what she was hoping he was looking at, "What's wrong?" she asked.
Raimundo snapped his focus back to her, he smiled a smile that was so sweet and sincere. It made her heart melt. It was that good of a smile. She noticed once again, the only feature which she found most interesting, his eyes. The beautiful emerald green eyes stared into her sapphire blue ones. 'Where have I seen those eyes before?' she asked herself again. "Nothing. I was staring at nothing." he replied, with his stunning Brazilian accent that Kimiko admired, sounding so sincere along with his eyes. He looked at the scroll then, to the figures who moved away behind a boulder, then back to Kimiko. "I-I just need to do something."
…..
A few minutes later they were at the edge of the water where Raimundo thought he saw the two figures. It was starting to get dark and this fog started to appear, he could hardly see five feet in front of him. He jumped out of the boat and grabbed the scroll. He looked at Kimiko who had a hint of fear in her eyes. "Eveything's fine," he replied to her look. "I just have to take care of something." He gave her that sweet and sincere smile.
"O-okay." Kimiko replied looking at the scroll then to Raimundo. He nodded and turned towards the right direction opposite of the boat. Kimiko looked over at Dojo who was on her shoulder and had a look of concern. She could tell what he was thinking. "It's okay Dojo," she replied. "I trust him."
Raimundo walked a few yards ahead and passed the giant boulder he saw the two disappear behind. Once he passed the rock, he saw Jack Spicer sitting on a rock near the edge of the water. He took a deep breath in and out slowly and walked towards him. "S-so," he began. Jack looked over at him, his red eyes glaring at him. Raimundo gulped, "I figured you might want this," he held up the scroll and tossed it near to where Jack was sitting. "So there you go, if that's all you need I'll just be on my-" he turned to leave but saw Jack Double standing right in front of him. "way."
Jack stood up and said, "We heard you found something worth much more than a silly scroll." he walked closer to Raimundo.
"What?" Raimundo turned around.
"We want the girl instead." Raimundo was about to hit Jack in the face, but he felt a something hit his head. He fell to the ground, out cold.
Kimiko waited by the boat. Dojo was on her shoulder, he turned his head to Kimiko. She read the look on his face and said, "Don't worry I'm sure he'll be back." she started doubting herself when she looked ahead and saw nothing. Then, she saw a faint figure in the mist. "Oh," she turned to Dojo who smiled, "We were starting to think you left with the scroll." she was starting to walk to go meet who she thought was Raimundo, but stop dead in her tracks when she saw TWO figures in the mist. (A/N: Oh Snap!)
"He did." one figure said stepping out of the mist. The other figure stepped out too.
Kimiko tried not to scream when she saw Jack and Jack Double. Instead she said, "What? No, that… that can't be."
Jack and Jack Double stopped a few feet in front of her and Jack Double replied, "See for yourself." he pointed to the water.
Kimiko moved towards the water's edge and to her horror, saw a boat with Raimundo steering it to the other side of the lake. "No! Rai!" she screamed. His head didn't turn, he didn't even look like he heard her.
Jack stepped closer to Kimiko, "Fair trade, the scroll for the girl with the ability to control fire."
Kimiko turned back around only to see Jack Double holding up a bag and moving toward her. "No!" Kimiko shouted, she turned and started to run, but she heard two thunks behind her. She turned and saw Wuya holding a branch and two unconscious boys on the ground. Dojo quickly slithered into Kimiko's hoodie so as not to be seen by Wuya. "Wuya?" asked Kimiko. Wuya dropped the branch and came to Kimiko hugging her tight.
"Oh Kimiko! Are you all right?" she asked looking at Kimiko.
"I'm fine but how did you know-?"
"I followed you here. And when I saw them attack you- come we must get away from here!" she grabbed Kimiko's hand and started pulling her away.
Kimiko wriggled out of her grasp and starred out at the boat now in the middle of the lake. Kimiko felt tears go down her cheeks. She couldn't believe Raimundo would so something like this to her. She now knew the feeling of a broken heart, something she had never felt before, and never wanted to feel again.
She felt a hand rest on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Wuya. Wuya started to walk away motioning her to do the same. She followed Wuya back to through the forest.
A hooded figure stood behind one of the trees. Once Wuya and Kimiko had disappeared into the forest, it quickly jumped into the boat that was left behind and started paddling towards the other side of the lake.
