*Slowly creeps into the room*
ITS HER!! GET HER!! *angry people come running after me*
NO NO STOP!
*crowd unpatiently stops*
Okay okay, I really haven't any excuse for to why I took like 4 months to update, my stories aren't like amazing or anything so they normally don't take me like 4 months to write! I've just been lazy and sorta forgot about it till one day I was bored and got back on, so here I am!
*angry mob starts advancing toward me*
And if you kill me now I won't be able to write another chapter :)
*angry mob growls and sits down and waits for me to start my story*
*pats their heads* Good angry mob :) Now, on with my story, and hopefully my writing ability has increased since then, I read my last chapter and I thought it was suckish so maybe it'll be better now ^^
There's no way in hell I own Xiaolin Showdown cause if I did there would be tons of romance and the show would actually be continuing :)
Chapter Nine
Kim's POV
Eventually my music stopped playing and I slowly opened my eyes from the unpleasant doze. I looked around the room, disgusted at myself for being so weak and getting myself kidnapped for the, oh I dont know, third time! Gosh, Im such a little helpless damsel in distress, it makes me sick. I need to find a way out of here and save myself, and the rest of the world for that matter, because I know once the fight with my father begins, all of my angry thoughts are going to build up that scary evil fire and I'll win and I'll probably turn evil somehow and I DO NOT want that to happen.
Okay, so I have until about four tomorrow to plan my escape, all I have to do i-
I stopped my thoughts and looked up at a guard walking in and placing food on my dresser next to my bed. His face had an emotional expression, and I let my eyes flicker towards the door. This may be easier than I thought, I acted natural and wondered over to the door while the guard was getting my food settled. I acted like I was fixing a picture frame from being crooked right next to the door, when suddenly I made a dash for it!
My legs were flailing like crazy, I had so much adrenalin in me and it was all coming our through my running! I've never ran this fast before in my life! I zoomed past many confused guards, as they had not known what was going on until I was out of earshot. My eyes were looking every which way, darting from side to side, for signs of escape. I turned down many narrow hallways, and eventually made it to the main entrance of my house, or better yet, palace. I rolled my eyes at the thought. I glanced quickly around the room. It reminded me a lot of Chases main entrance room, with the fountains and stained glass windows and just a huge room! Many guards had finally caught on to what was going on and dozens started pouring in the door I had entered in.
I shreaked, jumping ten feet in the air, and made a fleeing sprint over to the large doors placed directly in front of me, only twenty feet away. Other guards in the room had noticed me as well and were bounding toward me. My mind became clouded from everything happening so fast, all I could do was keep running. I couldn't think, I could hardly breath from everything happening around me, until...
BAM! I ran smack into the door and fell hard on the ground. This wasn't one of those funny hitting the door things you see in cartoons, I mean I was running for life, and running into a stone door does NOT feel good.
I screamed out in pure agony as I clutched my cracked and bleeing head. The guards all around me stopped, unsure of what to do. I felt so stupid, I fought back tears, how could a Xiaolin Dragon cry from hitting a door? I felt so pathetic, but all I could focus on was the unbearable pain throbbing in my head. My father came rushing in when he heard my screams. He had concerned written all over his face, psh, as if actually he even cared about me. All he wanted was for me to take over the world, to use me, to make him look good, and the only reason he was acting like this was for him to trick me into thinking he cares so I would fight, well it isn't working so there.
He ran quickly over to me.
"Kimi, Kimiko are you alright? Can you hear me?"
I moaned in response. He swooped me up off the ground bridal style and walked swiftly down the many hallways I had just ran down. My thoughts quickly jumped back into my bleeding head, and I remembered, I was so close to escaping, I had to keep trying.
I struggled in his grasp and eventually made him drop me, I clasped my head in my hands to keep it from splitting open, and staggered back for the room. He wrapped his arms around my frail figure, and picked me back up and walked faster for my room, ignoring my desperate attempts to get away.
He gently laid me on my bad and had a nurse rush in to take care of my wounds. She cleaned off the gushing blood, which felt like hell as she was doing so, and only had time to bandage up my forehead, as it was the part that had cracked open. They had no time fore stiches, and for that I was thankful. My father summoned them all away and stroked my hand softly, trying to comfort me. I couldn't help but let out a few small whimpers, and I scolded myself for acting like this. I'd been through much worse and never cried, but I suddenly realised I wasn't just crying about the pain in my head, I was having a physical and emotional melt down. Everything that was happening hit me, the sudden kidnaps, my friends, my father, the world, everything hit me hard like my head to the door.
I suddenly let out a sob and rolled over and buried my head in my pillow.
"Kimiko!" My father gasped, trying to calm me down. He thought I was only crying because my head, I could never explain everything to him, nor did I want to. I slapped his hands away and cried even harder into my pillow.
Then a light bulb went on in my head. If he thought I was injured this bad, there's no way he would allow me to fight tomorrow...right? Worth a shot, I'm going to have to play this off good, and it's going to make me sick to play along with his little caring game, but I had to put the fight off as long as I could to save myself, or for the guys to find me.
I sat up and whimpered "Daddy it huurts!" I crawled over to him and snuggled up next to his side, burying my head in his arm to cry now fake tears.
He stroked my hair, making me gag. "It's okay Kimiko, I know." He said soothingly. I almost immediately jumped up and punched him repeatily, but I had to keep this act going, it all made me so sick.
He called in a few guards with me still in his arms. "Call off the fight, prophesy will have to wait, there's no way my little girl can fight in this condition." I tensed up at his words. I wish he would stop calling me that. I'm not his little girl, I'm his little pawn for world domination. Apparently he felt me tense up and turned his attention toward me. "Kimi are you okay?"
"Mmm." I said into his arm, I was too angry to speak, I hated it when he called me Kimi.
"Just lie down and rest, there will be no fight until you're better." He gently layed my head on my pillow and covered me up, kissed my cheek, and walked out the door, not bothering to shut it.
I quickly threw off my covers and wiped my hands quickly across my cheek. "Bastard." I spat. He needs to stop playing this I'm about to throw up! Here he is, possibly the most evilest person that ever walked across this earth, tucking me in and kissing me! It's sickening! I can't take it anymore!
I let out a long, frusterated breath I didn't know I was holding in, and rolled over on my side. "Calm down..." I whispered to myself. You played it off good back there, he'll never suspect anything.
I tried falling asleep, tossing and turning, but I was just too tense and eager to sleep. I quickly sat up and looked towards my bathroom door. "That might help." I was suddenly a little more cheerful at the thought of a nice, hot bath to calm my nerves. I slowly stood up and rumaged through my old closet. I grabbed a light blue spaghetti strap tank and a white mini skirt, and skipped over to my bathroom, shutting the door behind me. Little did I know what was about to happen in the palace...
ooOOooOOoo
Jack's POV
"Tha' sounds mighty good to me, how 'bout you little fella?"
"I say this plan sounds acceptionally well, what do you think Raimundo?"
He tried to play it cool, he was actually a little jealous he hadn't thought of it himself. 'Stupid Jack' He thought to himself. "Eh, it sounds okay." He shot an angry glance my way, and I smirked in reply.
We all four turned to Chase to see what he thought. He had a thoughtful look on his face, staring down at the ground, as if trying to descipher the pattern on the floor. He slowly looked up into our anticipated faces, and smiled slightly.
"Let's go."
ooOOooOOoo
Kimiko's father's POV
I paced the floor angrily, not sure of what to do. I knew the prophecy had to be fullfilled tomorrow, or the throne of the Fire Lord's would be tossed over to the next family in line. I cringed at the thought of their gloating faces, they would surely destroy my family, they hated us.
I also knew Kimiko's little plan, I wasn't stupid, but I wanted her to think she was free from the fight, so she wouldn't make any more attempts to escape, and injure herself more.
The last thing I knew was she really wasn't in any condition to fight, not only her head injury, but I knew she was going through emotional stress right now. When she had sat next to me crying and hugging me, I could sense by the fire in my veins and hers what she was feeling, and I knew the last few days had been very stressful for her. I knew she didn't want to become this, but I had so much faith that she would come around, I love her, but she doesn't see that. If she really doesn't want to do this, I have no choice. I will be severely dissapointed in her, but it's her choice, yet if I can trick her into it, I will do it. This is what is BEST for her. I want her happy, but I want what's best for her more. Her powers will be increased on the evil side, which will gain her more protection then on the side of good.
I knew what I had to do. But there was only one person who could help me to do it. He is my mortal enemy, and I know there's no way he would want to help me take over the world, he wants it for himself, but I had to try. I had to ask him, I had to ask...
Chase Young.
ooOOooOOoo
Rai's POV
We flew through the air in silence. We were in one of Jack's weird contraption thingys that flew as fast as a jet. We were almost in Tokyo, but the silence was killing me, and I had so many questions that I knew Chase knew, but, I hate to admit it, I was scared to ask him. Not only scared because he's so strong and powerful and could kill me, but also, scared of what I might find out about Kimiko. What the hell is this huge mess all about? I found out her dad is evil, and wants to take over the world or something, but I didn't quite understand everything else. I was about to break the silence, when thankfully Jack did.
"So what is all this about?" He was sitting in the drivers seat, trying to act as though he were concentrating on flying, but you could tell he was confused and very deep in thought. He asked the question directly to Chase, but kept his eyes on the road...or sky. We all peeked through the corners of our eyes to look at Chase. His expression was unreadable, and he acted as though he didn't even hear Jack. He was staring blankly at the floor.
"Did you hear me!? What the hell is going on!? What's wrong with Kimiko!? Why is everyone kidnapping her!? What did you do to her!? I swear if you did anything to hu-"
"Silence." Chase hissed.
"No!" Jack quickly turned on auto pilot and turned around in his seat with a death glare sent directly at Chase. "Answer my questions! I'm sick of you and you're attitude it's got to stop! Quit acting like you're the leader here! We could all kick your sorry ass so why don't you just shut the f-" Chase launched at him. He grabbed him by the throat and pinned his flaing body against the wall of the jet...thing.
"You do not know what you're dealing with here. Either stop talking and fly us there, or I leave. Your. Choice." He dropped Jack on the ground and looked down at him with a cold expression.
I quickly looked at Jack with intense anger in my eyes. "Jack just shut the hell up and go drive your stupid jet! We don't need your shit right now!"
Jack's POV
No. I'm tired of them all treating me like I'm some sort of worthless piece of trash. I'm just as good as the rest of them. I looked Chase daringly in the eyes.
"Leave."
Chase stood up, and teleported away. Everyone's eyes were full of shock and hatred. Raimundo ran after me and ramed me into the wall.
"What the hell Jack!? What the hell!?"
"I'm tired of everyone treating me like shit. I'm not shit." I threw them all parachutes and quickly opened the door to my jet. "Leave."
"Jack, we can most certainly work this out. Please if Raimundo will just calm down and-"
"Leave." I hissed.
"Let's go." Raimundo said coldly.
I watched as they jumped out with an emotionless expression. I am not shit. I was a very valuble member to the team. Psh, their loss.
I walked back calmly to the controls and turned it off auto pilot. I kept heading straight for where we were heading beofre. There's no way I was giving up on Kimi, I had to save her, and I was going to as well.
Rai's POV
We landed hard on the ground. We didn't care that it hurt though, we ripped off the parachutes, and started sprinting toward Kimiko's palace. We could see Spicers' jet still flying that way, and there's no way in hell I'm going to let Spicer save her, not that he could, but still.
After a while of running through busy streets and dark ally ways, we finally made it to Tokyo. We glanced around at the many dazzling lights everywhere, taking in the many sights and smells of the city.
"Ov'r there partners!" Clay pointed past many sky scrappers, to a jet parked right outside a mansion type building.
"That most certainly has to be Kimiko's house, correct Raimundo?" Omi asked, looking up at me.
The answer he recieved was me taking off with full force. I used my wind ability to give me an axtra boost, and what would have been about a thirty mintute run, only took me about five minutes.
I burst through the doors, and to my surprise, I saw not only her father, but...
Kimiko's Father's POV
I was talking to...an old friend you might say, when suddenly my doors were burst by some wild looking teenager. His face looked as shocked as mine, and my 'friend' and I stood up immediately.
I pointed an acusing finger at him. "You must be Raimundo!"
Jack's POV
I had just snuck into the palace. Luckily I had brought the Shroud of Shadows with me to keep myself hidden. I walked carefully around guards in my path, and was careful to keep my breathing low and quiet. But I'm so surprised none of them could hear my heart! It was pounding faster than ever, and I'm not sure if it was from the sickening feeling of being caught, or the fact that I may see Kimiko soon.
I was so close to reaching her door, but many guards were standing outside.
"Damn it..." I muttered to myself, and mentally slapped myself for talking. No one heard, because right when I said it, a sudden crash came from the main entrance room, and all the guards were pouring through the hallways, not noticing they were bumping into me. I quickly pressed myself against the wall until they were all gone. Boy am I lucky. I slowly pulled of the shroud and shakily reached for the door knob to Kimiko's room...
Kimiko's POV
I had just finished drying my hair and getting dressed when I heard a crash, and so much shuffling outside my door it sounded like a stampede! I quickly threw everything on the floor and pried open my bathroom door and practically flew to my door and started quickly turning the knob....
ooOOooOOoo
