A/N: Sorry about the slow update kids (: But I shall endeavour to update nonetheless. Before I start I would just like to say a big thank you to all of you reviewers, I actually love you haha. I've been having a pretty crap time at the moment to be honest and you all cheered me up, Lady Airashii Mentsu 67 in particular –

"WOW. UR GOD..." I'm not sure if that was sincere or just a typo, but you sure made my day haha. Anyway, on with the story...

"Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my honour to present as our guest act this evening – the wonderful, Xiaolin warriors!" Raimundo's mother shouted, followed by loud cheers from the crowd. The lights turned off, plunging the tent in darkness. There was a moment's silence, and then suddenly the stage was lit up by red hot dancing flames.

"Fire!" Kimiko called, watching her creation move majestically along the floor.

"Earth!" Clay shouted. The stage floor began to move; spiralling upwards, carrying the flames and the Xiaolin warriors. Until the piece of ground they were stood on became detached.

"Wind!" Raimundo added, his element carrying their platform, turning it slowly so that everyone could see them.

"Water!" Omi commanded last, creating flowing shapes which moved gracefully from one form to another.

From backstage, Dojo watched intently,

"Y'know, when the first Xiaolin dragons were given their elements, I don't they quite had this in mind," he commented in between mouthfuls of popcorn.

"I guess, but it would be a bit of a waste really; just look how great they are," Raimundo's sister Yaritza replied.

Dojo nodded, as he watched the dragons duck and weave quickly between different obstacles created by their elements, the crowd shouting incessantly.

Finally, the dragons jumped down from their stage, landing perfectly in front of the crowd in wudai Orion formation. Slowly, they let their powers extinguish and the stage returned to normal. Slowly, they walked off, waving and grinning broadly, leaving the screaming crowd behind.

"Guys that was totally awesome!" Kimiko gasped when they reached backstage, her eyes shining.

"I agree! I believe the crowd were truly impressed by my amazing circus skills," Omi said

"Whatever dude. Anyway, I'm on in about an hour, so do you guys want to go on a walk or something and I'll catch up with you in a bit?" Raimundo suggested.

"Sure thing partner, besides, I saw a big buffet at the back there and I've just been itching to try it out," Clay said, making his way over to one of the other tents.

"Yes, and I will go practise my skills some more so that the crowd is wiped away!" Omi exclaimed running off.

"Omi, that's blown away!" Kimiko called after him.

Raimundo smiled after him, "I guess that little dude will never learn,"

"I suppose you're right," Kimiko sighed, a smile on her lips. They stood there in silence for a while. Neither really knowing what to say next. Finally Kimiko began to walk off.

"I'm going to walk down to the beach, I'll catch you later Rai, okay?"

Raimundo nodded and waved as she exited through the tent door.

"Rai, I can't believe you just missed that opportunity..." A voice said behind him. He turned around to see Yaritza shaking her head at him. He blushed slightly.

"I...I don't know what you mean..."

"Oh c'mon, it's so obvious you like her,"

Raimundo sighed,

"So what if I do, I'm never going to be able to tell her, she probably doesn't even like me that way,"

Yaritza's eyes softened, she placed her hand comfortingly on his shoulder.

"Sure she does, how could anyone not like my little brother? You were always the guy all the girls wanted when you lived with us,"

"Yeah but I've changed since then, things are different at the temple."

"Rai, look, you're never going to get her with that attitude. You've got to give it a go! She likes you too, I can tell."

"You think so?"

"Yes, now as your older sister, I command you to go after her and tell her how you feel,"

Raimundo smiled at her.

"Thanks Yaritza,"

Kimiko picked up a smooth pebble from the beach. It felt so perfect and cool in her hand. She scowled a little, she suddenly felt so annoyed with herself and she wasn't even sure why. She shook her head and flung the pebble with great force into the sea. A splash erupted a few meters away from her. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around quickly and peered into the darkness. She could make out the figure slightly, a tall boy, tanned skin, scruffy brown hair.

"Kimiko, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Yeah sure,"

"Um, first of all, you were really great back there, I mean, doing the show,"

"Thanks," she said, still squinting to make out who was talking.

The boy took a deep breath and looked away from her.

"A secondly, I think you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen..."

Kimiko froze in shock. She didn't know what to say. The figure took a step forward, his face becoming clearer.

"Enrique?" she whispered.

The boy nodded and took another step towards her. He lifted his hand up and placed it on her cheek. He bent down slowly and kissed her lightly. Kimiko looked up at him, her heart pounding.

"Kimiko!" A voice cried from the distance. She turned around, and saw Raimundo making his way through the bushes. He looked up at them. A slight look of confusion flashed across his face.

"Enrique? What're you doing here?" he asked.

Before Enrique could say anything, a loud blast sounded from the direction of the circus. The three of them span around and gasped. Large flames were dancing around the tents. The spectators were running away, screaming. A large metallic figure stood against the horizon. It stooped down as though it were picking something up, then rose again and began to walk away.

"Oh god..." Raimundo whispered. Kimiko rested her hand on Raimundo's trembling arm. She looked up at his contorted face; she could see his eyes beginning to water.

"They're...gone..." he said softly.

A/N: once again, apologies for the slow update. Hope you enjoy this (: please review.
