Chapter 2

Kimiko Has Her Day

After the past days of the last chapter, Clay bravely won the Fist Of Tebigong and Third-Arm Sash, and taught everyone a lesson. To continue on...

Kimiko was facing Jack in a showdown.

"Fist of Tebigong!" Kimiko screamed, and punched the side of the mountain.

Jack still stayed on the mountain.

"Ha! Remember? I'm defying gravity here."

The mountain shook, and Kimiko clung on.

"Ha! Major mistake." Jack smirked.

"Whoa...ahhh!" Kimiko fell and fell...but somehow, she landed on a branch, which saved her from losing.

She tried to go up, but the branch broke, and she fell.

Jack walked up, and grabbed the Monkey Staff.

Kimiko fell off a tree, and landed on ground. The fist disappeared.

Jack flew over to her to gloat. "The fist is mine, the Jetbootsoo are mine, and the Monkey staff is mine!"

Kimiko frowned, and walked away with the other monks.

In Dojo, flowing down a river in Scotland...

Omi patted Kimiko's shoulder. "Kimiko...don't be sad."

"I'm not sad. I don't need your pity either!" Kimiko turned her head in anger.

"I was just merely pointing out, you could not do better because your a girl."

Kimiko flamed. "What did you say?"

Clay tried to help. "Don't blame Kimiko. She was just trying to do her best. Which was good, considerin'..."

"Considering WHAT?" Kimiko growled.

"I think it was because a lack of body strength." Omi said.

"I'LL SHOW YOU BODY STRENGTH!" Kimiko yelled.

Raimundo laughed. "Watch out, she might use her slip and fall move."

All of the sudden, Dojo shook. "Wu alert!"

Kimiko took out the scroll. "Hm...the Tangled Web Comb. It..wraps the enemy in tangled webs."

"Well we better stop dilly-dallying and better go get it." Clay said.

"Nope." Dojo said. "It's right here."

Underneath them, sparkled shone underwater.

Kimiko's eyes shined. "This one's mine!

"Kim's right. This one will replace the ones she lost." Raimundo said.

Kimiko growled. But, instead of murdering them, she gracefully dove into the water.

In an instant, she arose. "Got it!"

Back at the Temple...

"It's just a comb." Raimundo said.

"Well I'm glad she found the comb." Clay said, trying to help her.

"And an excellent accessory for females." Omi said.

"Hmph. Let me show you how it's done! Tangled Web Comb!" Kimiko shot the strands from the comb at the dummy. But, they went around the dummy, and reversed back to Kimiko, tying herself up.

"I don't think she's using it right..." Clay said.

Raimundo laughed. "Hmm...now do you wanna look through her stuff?"

Omi grinned. "Yes!"

Kimiko squirmed. "Hey! Touch my stuff and-" The comb tightened on her. She doesn't know the secret to get out of it, I guessed.

Master Fung approached. "Kimiko...Are you in need of assistance?"

Kimiko frowned. "N-No!" The comb tightened more.

"Ah, I see. But, some advice. You need absolute focus."

"I so have...a-absolute focus!" She squirmed more.

"Yes, of course." He touched the strands on her, and they disappeared back into the comb.

"Um...I-I bet there was something wrong with that Wu! I was completely focused!" Kimiko turned red.

"Is that so? Then please demonstrate your great focus."

"How?"

"Poor some tea."

"Um...OK, but this better not be a joke."

"It is not. It takes focus to poor that much tea in those cups."

He pointed over to a table, which had a very big teapot with very small cups.

"Alright, if you say so." Kimiko shrugged, and picked up the heavy teapot. She delicately poured one cup perfectly...then two...But then, Omi, Clay, and Raimundo appeared.

Omi gagged. "Yuck! This liquid candy is disgusting."

Raimundo laughed. "That's nail-polish." He was messing with Kimiko's PDA and cellphone.

Clay looked over at Raimundo. "Looks like you deleted something."

Kimiko frowned. "Hey!"

"Keep focus." Master Fung said.

"Hey, Kimiko is serving tea!" Raimundo walked over to her, followed by Omi and Clay.

"Yeah, I am thirsty like a horse in a desert." Clay said.

"And are you gonna make cookies or something?" Omi asked.

Kimiko growled. "Master Fung!"

"Keep focus and pouring."

Kimiko poured the tea, shaking. "The next one will be perfect." She tried not to scream, but focus.

Omi shrugged. "I am surprised a girl can lift that heavy teapot."

Kimiko's eye's flared. The tea spilled everywhere.

She dropped the teapot, and it crashed onto the floor into tiny pieces.

Master Fung shook his head, and walked away.

Kimiko sighed.

At Jack's Basement...

Jack laughed. "I'm loving this! I have a tail! And monkey skills too!"

Jack bounced around and around, wrecking chaos.

Wuya sighed. "You buffoon! We have world domination to worry about!"

"What's the point when you can't have any fun?"

Suddenly, there was laughter upstairs.

Jack knocked the staff on the ceiling. "Keep it down up there! Gosh, I hate it when my parents have parties..."

Wuya turned to him. "Drop the staff! If you hold onto it too long, you'll become like that forever!"

All of the sudden, a Jackbot repeated 'Intruder Alert!'.

A girl with short blonde hair and a tank top and miniskirt was at the stairwell.

"Oh, my bad, I thought nobody was down here." The girl said, and blushed.

"What do you want?" Jack asked.

"Trying to get away from the party. Boring!"

"Standard for my folk's."

"So, are you Jack, the kid they're all talking about upstairs?"

"What...they're talking about me?"

"Yep. But, they're calling you a weirdo."

"Weirdo? What's so weird about me?" Jack then screamed like a monkey, due to the staff.

"I guess a lot of stuff." She shrugged, and went back upstairs.

Wuya gave a sound of dislike. "Hmph."

Back at The Temple...

Kimiko took out the scroll. "The Golden Tiger Claws..allows the user to transport to any location they choose to..Let's go!"

At a Temple, Where the Claws Are...

"They're all the way up there? There are guards everywhere." Raimundo looked up.

"Of course! This is the emperor's palace." Dojo said.

Kimiko smiled. "No worries, I'll call my dad." She dialed a phone number, and then spoke rapid Japanese.

"Well?" Raimundo asked.

Kimiko frowned. "We're in, but there's a catch."

Later...

Kimiko was dressed as a beautiful kimono girl.

Raimundo laughed.

The rest were in warrior outfits.

"Shut it." Kimiko said, and moved up the stairs.

The guard let them inside. I followed after them.

Dojo saw me. I put my finger on my mouth, meaning quiet.

He kept shut.

The monks looked around.

"Any sign of the claws?" Kimiko asked.

Dojo squirmed around. "I know its here somewhere...But more down than up..."

Kimiko was walking, until she found carpet. She removed the rug of carpet, and there was a hidden latch. Clay opened it, and there lead stairs.

Kimiko lead the way down there. I followed, an matched my footsteps with theirs.

It was pitch black, but soon it strangely got lighter. Then, a long passage was revealed.

Kimiko lead the monks through the easy path.

Suddenly, they heard a painful moan.

Where Jack is...

"Stop your moaning and find the claws!" Wuya said.

"Can't help it. I'm nauseated. Ooohh...owch..."

Back To The Monks...

Kimiko gasped. "It's Jack...and he's heading toward the Tiger Claws!"

Jack frowned. "I so don't need this right now...Jackbots, do your thing!"

"Hmph...FIRE!" Kimiko raised her hands, and fire shot out of them, hitting the bots. "Let's go!" They chased after Jack.

Jack screamed. "Ahh!"

Kimiko reached for the claws, but Jack touched them at the same time.

"Kimiko, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown! A race across the path...your Tangled Web comb against my Monkey Staff." Jack said.

"I accept." Kimiko said.

"Gon Ye Tampai!" The monks and I shouted.

There was one long path, with lava on the sides. I was on a separate platform, and so were Omi, Clay, Raimundo, and Dojo. Luckily, I wasn't seen.

Jack raced off, but Kimiko had trouble with her shoes.

"This is too easy!" Jack laughed. But then the lava rose, and the whole place shook.

Jack fell. But got up. Kimiko fell, but was now hanging for her life.

Kimiko got up, and Jack raced on.

Kimiko got out the comb. "Tangled Web Comb!"

The strands flew at Jack.

But...they flew around him, and back at Kimiko!

Kimiko struggled. But, she remembered what Master Fung said. She relaxed...calmed herself...

The strands released her, and grabbed Jack's staff.

"Hey!" Jack returned to human form. He smirked. "Too bad I'm only one step-" The palace shook, and the claws fell.

Kimiko used the comb to swing herself under the path, and grabbed the claw.!

Everything returned to normal. Jack fled, and the monk congratulated Kimiko.

So, Kimiko learned focus today. But, there is a cat I dislike...she's coming on the way.
