Chapter 11

"No, I am not Raimundo."

Jackie's smile vanished. That voice. The voice she once loved but now hated to hear. Chase Young.

Jackie stood up immediately and looked around. The animals were gone. They had probably felt the dangerous man approaching and ran away. She couldn't blame them.

She looked at the dragon lord.

"What are you doing here, Chase?"

"Have you forgotten what I told you, Jacqueline?"

"First, it's Jackie, and second, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, I believe you do. Just try to remember our deal. If I caught Pedrosa with you, I would simply take his life away. Remember?"

Jackie's eyes widened.

"I… I… I never agreed to that! There was no deal!"

"You kept silent, which is a sign that you have accepted the conditions of my… proposal."

"No! I was silent because I was scared!"

"Aren't you now?"

"Chase, leave us alone! I'm warning you!"

The dark haired man growled.

"Why should I, Spicer? You know I can easily kill him and take you as mine."

The pale girl's eyes widened.

"W-w-what do you mean by 'yours'?…"

"I can just kill Pedrosa, take you to my palace and make love to you whenever I want."

"You… you… YOU SICK PERVERT!" Now Jackie was furious. Chase, too was losing his patience. He took hold of the young girl's wrists tightly.

"I dare you to call me that again." He said with gritted teeth.

"My boyfriend will kill you before you can say 'Xiaolin Showdown'!"

"Your boyfriend?…" Chase arched one of his eyebrows.

"Yes, Raimundo Pedrosa, my boyfriend! When he finds out that you're planning to rape me, it's so gonna be his foot on your butt!"

"Excuse me?!"

Chase tightened his iron grip on her, making her hiss in pain and struggle to get away.

"It's no use, Spicer, I am much stronger than you. You cannot stop me."

"Maybe not, but I can!" Chase suddenly felt a huge load of pain in his ribs when none other than Raimundo Pedrosa kicked him right there, making him let go of the girl and fall to the side.

Jackie crawled away from Chase before he could catch her again. Raimundo kneeled next to her, worry evident in his face.

"Are you alright? What did he do? Did he hurt you?"

"I'm fine…" she answered, although she was shivering a little.

"You will regret this, Pedrosa." Raimundo looked at Chase as the man got up and prepared to fight. "Spicer and I were having a little chat and you dared to interrupt us."

"For what I saw, that 'little chat' was going to end up in you hurting my girl."

Chase sped towards him and attacked.

Jackie couldn't help but scream as her boyfriend was thrown against a tree and fell flat on the floor. Raimundo had started to get up only to have Chase kicking him on the chest, sending him flying again. A few more punches and kicks, and the tanned boy was really hurt now. He didn't even have any more strength to get up. Damn, it seemed a lot easier when his friends were fighting by his side.

Chase approached the brazilian teen and was preparing to end it once and for all when Jackie got in the way.

"NO!" she exclaimed as she placed herself over Raimundo, hugging him, but never ceasing to look at Chase. "If you're gonna kill him, you'll have to go through me first!"

"Step aside, Jacqueline."

"No!" she yelled and unconsciously turned her palm towards the warlord. She suddenly felt something run through her whole body, like an electrical shock, and reach to her hand. A dark sphere formed in front of her open palm and a huge bolt of dark energy flew towards Chase, hitting him with such force that made him hit a tree, which broke right after that. Chase fell to the ground, unconscious.

Raimundo looked at the knocked out ancient warrior, then at his girlfriend. They were both wide-eyed.

"How… how did you do that?…" he asked.

"I… I… I'm not sure…" she said as she looked at her own palms.

Kimiko walked in circles in her room. How should she do it? How could she break them up? She had thought of putting one of her earrings in Raimundo's pocket, but if there was someone that knew her stuff, it was Raimundo. She had thought of writing fake love letters from a guy named Stephen, saying that he had a great time with Jackie. But she soon erased that idea from her list, since the pale girl used to disguise as a boy.

And now she didn't have any other ideas. What else could she do to break them up?

Raimundo hissed in pain as Jackie took care of his wounds.

"I'm sorry…" she said "This is all my fault…"

Raimundo caressed her cheek.

"No, honey, it's not."

"I promised I would tell you… I promised to let you be my 'gardener'…" Jackie started sobbing now. Raimundo hugged her.

"Don't worry, Jackie, it's okay. I'm okay. And I won't let Chase hurt you again, I promise." Then he kissed her passionately. "Please, stop crying…"

But Jackie couldn't stop. She hugged Raimundo once more and cried against his chest.

"I'm scared, Raimundo… What if next time you won't be there?… What if next time he does what he said he would…"

Raimundo embraced her tighter.

"What did he say to you?"

"He… he said he would… k-kill you… and then… he would make me go to bed with him…"

Rai's eyes widened and he looked at his girlfriend.

"Chase said that?"

The pale girl nodded, tears still running down her cheeks.

"That man really has the nerve!"

"What am I gonna do, Raimundo? You can't protect me 24/7 and my Jackbots are useless against him!"

The tanned boy thought about it for a while.

"What about that ray you hit him with?"

"What?"

"You know, that dark ray you used to knock him out."

"But Raimundo, I don't even know how to do it again."

"I'll teach you! As soon as you learn to control that power, you'll be able to protect yourself! Just a little bit of practice and Bam! You'll kick Chase Young's butt with a hand tied behind your back!"

Jackie smiled and kissed him.

"Okay, let's try…"

"That's it!" Kimiko yelled as an idea came to her mind. "I'll get someone to kiss her and take a picture of it! Then I'll show it to Raimundo, and he'll break up with Jackie. It's perfect!"

The fire dragon had started jumping in excitement when a little detail crossed her mind.

"But who will I get to kiss her?…"
