Hey everyone….I'm sorry it took so long but I had a bad case of the writer's block along with trying to find a job! *bows* Please forgive me and I hope you keep reading!

Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own Xiaolin Showdown!

"Luna-chan, I'm not so sure about this, I mean what if they get hurt." Alix said as she watched Raimundo and Kimiko dance.

Sipping on some blood she shrugged, "There's nothing we can do. Those pigheaded men have made up their mind and now all we can do is watch and wait."

Glancing at her, Alix could see Luna was in deep thought, "What are you thinking about?"

Smiling she took another sip, "Nothing really. Just thinking of what their kids look like is all."

Stiffling a giggle Alix decided to not comment, instead she kept watching the intoxicating dance, I do wonder what their children would look like. She thought absentmindedly.


Kimiko couldn't believe it! Not only was she dancing with the Shizuoka heir, but she was actually enjoying herself. Half-way closing her eyes, she smiled loving the way he held her and how his warmth ignited something within her.

Is this lust, she thought as Raimundo twirled her around and back into his awaiting arms.

Whatever it was, she was going to figure out by experimintation or by asking her friends.

Shaking those thoughts away she glanced up at the Shizuoka and saw his smoldering green eyes looking down at her. Blushing she hid her face in his chest and soon felt the vibrations of him chuckling.

Blushing harder Kimiko looked at him, "Is there something funny Shizuoka-san?"

Shaking his head he winked at her, "Nothing bad, just thinking of how cute you look blushing like a little school girl Ms. De Luca."

Blushing again Kimiko choked back a retort. She wasn't going to ruin anyone's evening. Feeling Raimundo stop she looked up to see him with an upset look. Following his gaze her eyes landed upon a mad Xiao-Yu Haruna making their way towards them

So much for not starting anything, Kimiko thought.


When Raimundo chose her as his partner for the ball, he never knew how much controversy it would start. Not that he minded since he has the chance to actually hold the De Luca heiress and dance with her.

Looking down at her he smiled, she was beautiful, graceful, and delectable to look at. Shaking his head of those thoughts his eyes found themselves boring into her crystal blue ones. Once she noticed him looking, she hid her face in his chest which of course made him chuckle because of how cute she looked doing that.

Noticing that she was fixing to talk he looked back down at her, "Is there something funny Shizuoka-san?" He heard her ask.

Giving off a small smile he shook his head and winked at her for a reason he doesn't even know yet, "Nothing bad, just thinking of how cute you look blushing like a little school girl Ms. De Luca."

Seeing her blush even brighter made him smile and he watched as she tried to retort but couldn't. Getting back to their dancing he looked up to see Haruna stalking their way so he stopped feeling Kimiko also look over at Haruna.

Oh great, he thought, just what I need. Trouble.


Once Haruna got to them she did something unspeakable. Grabbing Kimiko by the hair, she slammed her into the nearest wall. "Stay away from MY Raimundo you dirty slut!" She screamed as she pushed her and went for another attack.

Kimiko saw that she was in a world of trouble and was now pissed, How dare she attack me for no reason?

Feeling herself being pushed she turned to see an angry Haruna and an even angrier Shizuoka along with the other Pur-Sang that ran to get to them. Standing up she saw Haruna launch at her only to be repelled by something or rather someone. And that someone was Deoderia with her sword in hand standing in front of Kimiko.

"How dare you attack the De Luca heiress for no reason? Especially in front of me!"

Holding back her tears Haruna wiped the blood from the cut that Deoderia made and pointed a shaky finger at Kimiko, "That stupid De Luca slut took my Raimundo away!"

Feeling something slice her, Haruna looked down to see a cut across her hand made by Deoderia.

"Don't you ever call my niece that again and besides, she never took anything. He chose her."

Feeling anger rush through her, Haruna summoned her main power hoping it would hit Kimiko, instead Deoderia blocked it with a swip of her sword; not even moving from her spot.

"Weak."

Feeling more anger rise in her chest, Haruna went to attack again but this time she felt strong arms restrain her. Looking up she gazed into the eyes of Highgate Clay, "You bastard! Let me go!" She kept thrashing, oh how she wanted the De Luca and her aunt dead.

"Sorry, but you're causing too much trouble Haruna." He said his grip tightening as he gave Luna a nod.

Standing in front of her Nguyen Luna pressed two fingers to Haruna's throat, "This is enough."

Soon Haruna's world went black and people started staring and gossiping. Taking the initiative Kimiko went to the stage, "I'm sorry for the trouble but since the ball has been disrupted I would like for all of you to leave besides the Pur-Sang. I do hope that you had an excellent time and that we didn't ruin your whole day." Bowing she left the stage and went back to the others while the security guards escorted everyone else out.

Standing besides Raimundo she looked up with anger evident in her crystal eyes, "You owe me big time Shizuoka." And with that she left with her aunt to go back to her room to discuss the night's events along with some other things.

Rolling her eyes Luna thought to herself, Well, this went well.


Well, this went well, Raimundo thought as he and the others went to his uncle's office dragging an unconscious Haruna with them.

Balling his fist he shook off the feeling of killing Haruna for ruining his good day and night. Just what he needed, De Luca Fiammetta at his throat along with Xiao-Yu Xi'an. Making it to the door Raimundo knocked twice and heard a "Come in" and walked in.

To say Fung was surprised was an understatement. Seeing his own nephew walk in with the other Pur-Sang along with a knocked out Haruna. Standing up quickly he helped lay down the poor girl, "What happened Raimundo?"

"Haruna happened."

Rubbing his beard he gave Raimundo a quizzical look, "I don't quite understand what you're trying to tell me."

Clearing his throat Omi walked up, "What he is saying is that Haruna attacked both De Luca Deoderia and De Luca Kimiko. Luna had finally knocked her out since Clay held her down.

"And where are the De Luca's?"

"In Kimiko's room," Luna said as she took a peppermint out of the candy dish. "Both her and her aunt are mad. I suggest that you leave them be till tomorrow."

Nodding Fung looked at Haruna, "I guess I shall call Xiao-Yu-san's parents along with De Luca-san's."

The other Pur-Sang nodded and Alix grabbed Luna's hand, "Should we go check on Kimiko?"

"No, let them be. It's been a rough night. Now go rest Alix. We'll visit her in the morning."

Rubbing his face, Shizuoka Fung went and grabbed his phone. Dialing two numbers at the same time, he waited for them to answer, "Hello, this is the Headmaster of Alyssum Academy. This is a conference call and it is about both of your daughters Xiao-Yu-sama and De Luca-sama."

At the same time, both with different reactions asked, "What happened?"

"Well they got into a little fight. But I have no idea what had happened."

Clearing his throat, Fiammetta with-held his angerk, "Did this happen to be about the Shizuoka heir?"

"Honestly I don't know De Luca-san."

"Is my daughter alright?" Xi'an asked while he calmed down his wife.

"She's knocked out thanks to Nguyen-san."

Each man looked at his respective wife and with the same thought they said, "We shall meet tomorrow."

"Good-bye Shizuoka-san."

"Good-bye De Luca-sama and good-bye Xi'an."

After hanging up Fung looked at Haruna, "Look what you got us into now."


Oh this was great just great! After leaving the ball room Kimiko and Deoderia stomped to her room. They needed to talk and vent big time. Well Deoderia needed to vent big time.

Slamming Kimiko's door shut Deoderia started pacing the room, "What will the headmaster say, what will your father say? Oh lord! Once your father hears of this he will have both of our heads!"

Kimiko watched as Deoderia kept rambling, sword in hand. Getting off her bed she made some jasmine tea and took the sword from her aunt's hands. "Auntie, please calm down. It wasn't your fault and you did protect me. Now please, relax." Kimiko soothed as she tried to get Deoderia to calm down.

Breathing deeply Deoderia sat down, "I'm sorry, but it's not only to do with you, but it also has to do with something I heard."

Kneeling in front of her aunt Kimiko held her hand, "What is wrong? What have you heard?"

Rubbing her face she looked into Kimiko's eyes, "You're not going to like what I tell you."

"I can handle anything."

"I really don't know if you can handle this."

Holding her hands tighter she looked her in the eyes, "Please tell me auntie."

Taking a breath, she started.

"Long before you and I were born, there was much controversy within the De Luca family. As you know we are divided into two parts; the ones that don't want war and the ones that want the Shizuoka to die. Throughout the years our clan began to split and shun those that wish to fight and kill." Breathing her eyes got lost within their own memories, "Soon we were divided and things started to happen. Wars were brought up and people were killed. Soon they created a monstrosity; something that was held within the confinements of a tower; a beast like no other. I'm sorry Kimiko, but now it's time. . ."

"It's time? Time for what?

Giving out a shaky breath Deoderia wiped her eyes, "It's time for blood shed, they're coming Kimiko and I have no idea how we will stop these. . . monsters."


"Our time is almost near child. Are you ready?"

"Yes. I want my crown."

A woman's voice cackles as she touches a young man, "Patience my boy. Soon you will be king."

"Good. That Shizuoka needs to die. Slowly."

"You make me so proud my pet."

"Thank you. Master."

"You're welcome, now let's get the ammunition ready."

"What about the other men?"

"They will go first, they'll be the practice targets."

Chuckling he gave a sinister smile, "Perfect."


And here you go... I really am sorry for letting you guys wait for so long and unfortunatly, it's not a long chapter but I promise to make the next one longer with more of everything*ashamed*

I hope you all keep reading and enjoying it. Thank you.
