I don't own Xiaolin Showdown

"To the beach," Clay said as he looked down at the landscape. The sand was clean and the ocean was sparkly blue.

"At least its clean," Jack said as they landed on the sand.

"Now we have to look quickly for the wu and get it before Jack Spicer comes," Omi said.

"Uh, I'm right here and I'm trying not to be evil anymore remember?" Jack reminded Omi.

"Oh," Omi said as he remembered, "sorry, habit."

The Xiaolin Warriors and Jack spread out to find the wu. They looked in the sand, the bushes, under rocks, inside caves, and under and above palm trees.

"Maybe its in the ocean," Jack said.

"Maybe," Kimiko said. She was holding the shen gong wu called the Gills of Hammachi. "I'll go check. Gills of Hammachi!" she yelled as he transformed into a green fish and jumped into the ocean.

"Careful!" Jack yelled.

Kimiko swam through the blue sea and wedged between two rocks was the shen gong wu shining. Kimiko swam and grabbed the wu with her fins. She began to pull but it was wedged really deep. As she was pulling a huge force slammed through her and she felt her body fly to the other side of the sea. She shook her head to regain conscious and when she did she gasped. A shark was heading right towards her. Kimiko dodged the shark and swam up to the surface.

"JACK!" she yelled, "HELP ME!"

Jack turned around and saw Kimiko in her human form with the shark circling around her. He jumped into the ocean and grabbed Kimiko and threw her to the shore where she landed on the sand.

"Sorry about that. Are you okay?" Jack asked her.

Kimiko coughed, "yes," she said as she coughed again.

"Good," Jack sighed as he smiled at her, "AH!" he was pulled in the ocean.

"JACK!" Kimiko yelled as she looked at the bubbles rising to the water. She was petrified for a bit—her heart exploding in her chest and moisture coming out of her eyes—as she stared at the ocean but she was quickly snapped back to reality, She ran but Raimundo pulled her back.

"He's gone Kim," Raimundo told her.

"No he's not!" Kimiko yelled, "now turn me loose!" she shook herself free from Raimundo and jumped into the ocean.

"She nuts," Raimundo said once she disappeared.

Kimiko swam quickly and saw Jack punching and kicking the shark on the nose. Kimiko swam to him and put the wu around his neck and yelled, "Gills of Hammachi!" and Jack transformed into a fish.

Jack kept kicking the shark on the nose until it quickly swam away. When that was over Jack dug through the sand and retrieved the wu. He swam to the surface with Kimiko.

"I got it!" be breathed as he walked to the shore. He was covered in wounds around his arms and legs.

"You need help," Kimiko said as she helped Jack up to his feet. She took him to the nearest hospital she could find where his wounds were treated.

"That was so scary," Kimiko told Jack once they were back at the temple and alone.

"Good thing I came out alive though," Jack said as he ran his hand through his ahir and shook his head.

"How are the wounds?" she asked him.

"They're getting better but they still hurt like crazy," he said.

"Jack I have a secret that I have to tell you," Kimiko told him.

"Me too," Jack said, "but ladies first."

"Okay," Kimiko said as she took a deep breath and let it out, "I really like you."

"Well," Jack said, "I really like you too."

Kimiko felt relief inside her. "Okay, what's your secret?"

"That and something else that you won't be comfortable about."

"I can take it," Kimiko said.

"Well I used to cut myself," Jack told her.

Kimiko gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. "Why?"

"I was always lonely. I didn't feel loved. I built robots and became evil only to feel good about myself," Jack explained, "here they are," he rose up his sleeve and showed her the healed cut wounds.

Kimiko grabbed his arm and squeezed it.

"Ow!" Jack said, "not so hard please," he gently told her.

"Sorry," Kimiko whimpered as tears spilled down her cheeks.

"What's wrong?' Jack asked her, his hand resting on her shoulder.

"Its just…" Kimiko sniffed. She pulled Jack towards her and hugged him. Her tears staining his red shirt.

"It's nothing," Jack told her.

"No," Kimiko said as she wiped her eyes, "we made fun of you and called you a 'mama's boy' and lots of other mean things. I never you that you were hurting yourself to feel better. I never thought that you would be this nice," she hugged him more tightly.

"Thanks," Jack said as he hugged her back. He felt a warmth rise in his chest. That warmth was love and care.
