Chapter Thirteen: The Truth

Omi and Clay waited at the edge of the water. It was almost past midnight and Kimiko, Raimundo, and Dojo had not returned yet.

"Well I'll be…" stated Clay.

"I am willing to bet my bottom that they left!" said Omi in a harsh voice.

"That's your bottom dollar little partner." corrected Clay.

"That too!" said Omi. Clay shook his head and turned his focus back to the water. Omi squinted to try and see through the fog. "My friend! Look!" He pointed to a dot in getting closer to the land.

…

The hooded figure paddled close to Raimundo's boat and hopped on inside, leaving the other boat to drift away. He stood next to Raimundo and saw that his hands were tied to the wheel and was unconscious. He searched inside his pockets and got out a knife and quickly untied Raimundo. Before Raimundo could fall, he set him down on the ground and started steering to land.

When Omi and Clay saw that the dot was a boat they started rejoicing. "Well, it looks as if they kept their promise after all!" stated Clay waving his hat in the air while Omi was….. er….. dancing up and down.

They immediately stopped when the boat bumped against the land. They were surprised to see Raimundo unconscious in the boat and a hooded figure standing there. They were even more surprised to see who the figure was. He took his hood off and standing right there was Jermaine. "Hey! You're that guy we saw in that pub!" said Clay.

"Yes, I was taking a walk in the woods when I saw-" he was cut off by someone coughing behind him. He turned and saw Raimundo coming to his senses. "Here, help me get him up." Clay and Omi jumped into the boat to help hoist him up.

Once on his feet, Raimundo looked around, clearly confused. Then, everything came back to him. "Kimiko? Where is she? Did they take her?" he asked looking all around wide eyed.

"Hold on there partner. Who's got her?" asked Clay grabbing his shoulders to keep him from moving so much.

"Jack and his robot! They knocked me out and I think they might have taken her!" he replied.

"I'm afraid they didn't take her." Raimundo turned to Jermaine. "I was taking a walk near where you guys were when I heard a couple of thugs, I went to see what it was and this lady was leading Kimiko away from the water." he explained.

"Lady? What la-" Raimundo's voice trailed off. He narrowed his eyes to the shore on the other side of the lake. "Wuya! She took her. We have to find Kim!" Jermaine took the wheel and started turning it towards the other side.

"What are you going to do?" asked Omi.

"I'm gonna give that witch a piece of my mind."

….

Kimiko sat on her bed. She had never felt so broken. "I never should have left." she said to Dojo who was on her dresser.

"Hey, it'll be ok." he said. But he figured it wouldn't be ok. And he was sure that she knew as well.

There was a knock at the door, Wuya came in and Dojo slithered into one of the drawers. "Kimiko, I have a surprise for you." Kimiko looked up, her eyes full of tears. Wuya showed no sympathy (A/N: Of course not.) and she simply said, "I'll be making your favorite stew." she said this a little bit brighter. Kimiko looked back down again. "Kimiko, I tried to warn you never to go out there, it's a cruel world." Wuya walked out of the room leaving Kimiko in despair.

Kimiko let her body fall to the bed. She felt something hit her chest. She looked down and saw the necklace Raimundo gave her. She looked at the beautiful emerald which shimmered looking like something she loved. 'Just like his eyes.' she thought.

For some reason she thought about what Omi said in the market about the people that went missing. Then she thought of Raimundo's eyes. All of the sudden, as if she was going back in time, she was wrapped in a blanket looking at a baby straight in the eyes. Emerald green eyes, people that went missing? After seeing this she accidentally slid off her bed and landed with a big thump!

"Kimiko?" asked Dojo coming out of the drawer.

"Kimiko?" asked Wuya walking up the stairs.

"It all makes sense." she said out loud.

….

Raimundo and the other's made it on the other side of the lake and jumped out of the boat. They saw Jack and Jack double just barely getting up from their knock out. "What are you loser's doing here?" asked Jack.

"We're looking for Wuya." said Raimundo.

"Oh that old hag?" asked Jack.

"Yes, now," he turned to Jermaine, "Which way did they go?" Jermaine pointed to a direction through the forest and they started heading that way leaving the two Jack's behind.

"Ditched again!" complained both Jacks.

….

"What makes sense?" asked Dojo getting out of the drawer and to Kimiko who got up off the ground.

Wuya was about to walk into the room but Kimiko opened the door looking rather ticked. "What's the matter?" asked Wuya.

"I'm one of them." said Kimiko in a soft voice.

"Speak up Kimiko!" she demanded crossly.

"I am one of the lost people from the temple aren't I?" she shouted. Wuya was speechless. 'How the heck does she know?' she asked herself. "Was I loud enough Wuya?" asked Kimiko.

Wuya snapped out of her daze and said, "Oh, I see. This entire trip of yours has gotten to your head." she stepped closer to Kimiko and was about to pat her on the head until Kimiko snatched her hand.

"All this time, you were lying to me." she let go of her hand and shoved her out of the way. "This entire time! Why was I stupid enough to believe you!"

Wuya frowned and said, "Ok, you got me. I was the one who took you, along with the help of Chase Young who stored me to my full form. I was the one who took you and your precious friend." Kimiko glared daggers. "But what will you do? He won't be there to help you!"

"We'll just see about that!" she said ready to walk out of the house.

"Yes, we will see about that." Wuya said coldly.
