Author's Note: PLEASE! Don't hurt me! I never meant for it to take so long! Just a heads up! I know this chapter will probably suck! But I took Enrichment at the last quarter of school and our teacher practically drained all of my writing juices! Plus, my writer's block and school. Well, let's just say I didn't have any energy. But now I'm back on track! So don't hurt me! Anyway, on with the story!

Chapter Fourteen: The Battle

Raimundo went sprinting to get to the house, the others way behind. 'Have to get to her.' He thought. His heart pounding in his chest, sweat pouring from his head.

He finally came to a clearing and ran out to see the house. The others came shortly after panting. "Wow." They exclaimed looking up at the giant castle-like house.

Raimundo started up the stairs, but Omi pulled on his sleeve saying, "Are you sure you want to go in alone? What if this Wuya is more powerful than you expect?"

Raimundo turned to them, he spoke with confidence in his voice, "I have to go in alone. I wouldn't want any of you to get hurt. And if something goes wrong, I want you to take Kimiko and take her far away from here."

The others looked at him with worried eyes. "What about you partner? What will happen to you?"

"I'll by you guys enough time to get away." He responded turning back to the stairs.

"What? But you can't just-" the others began to protest, but Raimundo turned to them giving them a stern look. They quickly silenced under his stare.

"Ok, but just promise you won't-"

Raimundo interrupted Jermaine, "I can't promise anything but that Kimiko will make it out, alive." he started up the stairs again making sure no one followed him.

He opened the door slowly so he wouldn't make a sound. He stepped in and looked around. 'Nothing' he thought. Then he heard a moaning coming from upstairs. He quickly ran up the stairs and found a door. He opened it and inside sitting on a chair, hands tied and mouth gagged was….

"Kimiko!" he shouted. She shot right up and started shaking her head and mumbling something. He ran to her side and took out the cloth that gagged her mouth.

"Run! Get out of here!" she shouted. "It's a trap!" he turned around just in time to see Wuya trying to kick him. He quickly dodged the attack and kicked her in the stomach. As she tumbled over, he quickly started to untie Kimiko from the chair. He was in mid untie (A/N: is that even a word?) when he felt two arms link around his neck and fling him across the room facing Kimiko hitting his head on the hard stone of the walls.

"NO!" yelled Kimiko. Wuya walked around the chair to Raimundo who was close to unconsciousness.

Wuya knelt down by him she was going to reach for his neck to choke him. "Not on my watch you witch!" snarled Kimiko. She could feel the flames in her hands and she burnt away the rope and jumped out of her chair and ran towards Wuya knocking her off guard across the room. "You're not hurting him!" she threw a bunch of fire-balls that were in her hand. Wuya was trying not to get hit by the fire back away with her hands in front of her for protection.

Hearing all of the commotion, Dojo slithered into the room and when he saw that Kimiko was throwing fire-balls he saw that right behind Wuya was a giant window and that she was backing away so that she was a few feet in front of it. He slithered over behind Wuya and stretched himself out.

Wuya tripped over Dojo and went crashing out of the window. Kimiko stopped throwing fire-balls only to hear silence, dead silence. She ran over to the window and looked out. No Wuya. 'She couldn't have just disappeared!'

Dojo poked her leg. She looked down and he pointed over to the young Brazilian. She ran over to him, knelt down, and put his head on her lap. "Raimundo! Raimundo! Please Rai! Don't be-" she couldn't bring herself to say the word she dreaded. She could feel her eyes fill with tears. "Just, please! Wake up!" He stirred a little bit. She gasped, "Rai?" she asked.

He opened his emerald green eyes and saw Kimiko. "Kim?" he asked.

"Rai?" she started crying. Her beautiful sapphire blue eyes full of tears, of joy.

Seeing her eyes he replied, "Did I ever tell you, that I have a thing for blue eyes?"

She started laughing. Then he began to sit up and she flung her arms around his neck and kissed him. He was a little shocked by this but kissed her back putting a hand on the back of her neck. They stayed like that for a good, well a while. Dojo turned his head and rolled his eyes. "Ah, young love." He said shaking his head.

…..

Once Dojo, Kimiko, and Raimundo reached outside, Jermaine, Clay, and Omi came running to them saying things like, "What happened?" and "Are you okay?" and they simply replied, "Never better."

Dojo slithered over onto Clay's hat as Kimiko turned to Raimundo and said, "For a minute there, I thought I lost you."

Raimundo smiled, "For a minute, I thought I was lost too." Kimiko lightly punched his arm as they laughed. Then he put his hand to her cheek and leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. Kimiko, not rejecting this, put her arms around his neck. The others saw this and said, "Oooooooohhhhhh!" and snickered. Raimundo and Kimiko broke away, reluctantly, and just shook their heads at their friends.
