Chapter 2 – ticklish?

Kimiko's POV

After I finished my chores I grabbed my laptop and sat under my favourite tree in Temple garden. I went through the recent E-mails I had from Keiko. I sat there smiling at some of the stupid things she had sent me and that she still told me all the gossip even though I was miles away and it would of been of no use to me.

About half way through answering my E-mails I began to feel uncomfortable. It was almost as if somebody was watching me. I shock off the feeling, going back to my mail. Just as I got to an e-mail from this really cute guy, I'd been crushing on at home the training gong went. Well it can't be that important, plus I like Rai not him now anyways.

I closed my laptop, got up and walled to my cubbie and place on the floor before heading to the training grounds. Once I got there I noticed everybody else was there before me. Even Rai. Well that was strange. Usual Rai was the last one here. Maybe taking to heart what I said about him having potential. I thought.

"Today, young ones, we will be learning about your sub-elements." Master Fung said. "Sub- elements are still individual controlled by you, but are still not a main element, and cannot be relied upon as they only work with certain Shen-Gong-Wu."

When we all still looked confused Master Fung used Omi as an example. Great more to add to his already huge ego.

"Omi here has all ready found and used his sub-element. His is ice and only, at this point, works with the orb of tornarmi." Master Fung said.

There was a group "Oooohhh," as realization hit us.

"So what are our sub-element's?" asked an eager Raimundo.

"Well Raimundo, yours is thunder – meaning you can control storms and when you have total control you will also be able to control sound. You will be able to make as much noise as you wish or silence anyone or anything around you."

"Aw, sweet."

"Kimiko," Master Fung said turning to me. "Your sub-element is magma. You will have all the power of a volcano and in addition you will also be able to control light and heat."

"Cool."

"Clay, yours is nature. You will be able to control the growth of plants and form rivers and valleys easily. Thing that take thousands of years to form can be made in seconds."

"Wow."

"And Omi, you already know you sub-element and what it can do, so why don't you grab a Wu and show up. Call the name of the Wu and then your sub-element." Master Fung said.

This should be funny, I thought, whenever Omi got over confident or cocky, things tended to go wrong.

Omi walked over to the chest of Wu and, surprise-surprise, picked up the Orb of Tornarmi.

"Now, Omi I would like you to hit those targets of me." Master Fung said, gesturing to three targets, nailed to different posts.

"No problem. I could do this in my dreams," Omi said, full of confidence.

"That's in my sleep lil' partner," Clay said.

"That too," Omi said.

Yeah, he was over confident, so this was gonna be fun.

"Orb of Tornarmi, ICE!" called Omi and a huge icicle erupted from the orb and headed for the middle target. It broke into three and they each headed in different directions. Omi confident they would hit turned around with a huge smile plasterer on him face.

"See my friends, that is how you control yo-"

"Omi look out!" Rai screamed at him. In the time he had turned around, he had also lost focus on what he was doing. And losing focus meant losing control of where the giant icicles were headed. And now one was headed straight for Omi's head.

"Huh?" Omi turned around again, just in time to see the giant icicle coming his way. He ducked and it slammed into the wall behind them, shattering into a million pieces.

"Hey, Omi think you can control the others?" asked Clay. I spun on the spot to see the other two icicles coming our way as well. They broke into half's to create four, one heading for each one of us.

I simply jumped on the one heading my way, which pushed it into the ground. I landed on top if it and pushed to point into the ground jumped repeatedly on the flat, pushing it into the ground. I looked around to see that Clay had smashed his in half and it was on the ground, Rai was playing with his, pushing to wind against it so that it couldn't touch his. He was smiling slightly as he did this, it seemed to amuse him. Well let's spoil his fun. And with that I threw a fireball at the spike and it melted. Rai had been leaning against his wall of wind, and as the force of the wind and icicle had been the same, once the ice melted his wind wall moved forward. Making Raimundo fall flat on his face, into the puddle the melted icicle had made.

"Hey," Rai shouted looking at me, knowing I was the only one able to melt the ice. He got up and his front was wet, from the water on the floor. It looked a little as he had wet himself. As soon as he was fully stood up, the flood gates opened and I was on the floor in a fit of laughter.

Rai looked down at himself. "Oh, you think that's funny do you?" he asked me smiling a little.

"Y-y-ye-yeah," I managed through giggles.

"Well, is it so funny now?" he asked, and with that he was on top of me, pinning both my wrists to the floor above my head and the other to the side of my head. My giggles stopped. "What are you going to do?" I asked him a little scared.

"This" was all he said, before he began to tickle my sides. Now I was laughing harder that I was before. He moved his had to my stomach and began to tickle there. My most ticklish spot. I was crying now and my laughter seemed contagious and Rai started to laugh too.

Somewhere away from my laughter, I heard someone cough. I think Rai must of too, because he stopped tickling me and looked up. Omi, Clay and Master Fung all had their eye brows raised at us. Rai still hadn't gotten off of me, so I cleared my throat. He looked back down at me and then seemed to realize I couldn't move with his weight on me. He got off me and offered me his hand, which I took and he pulled me up. Everybody was still looking at us, which made me blush. I looked at Raimundo from the corner of my eye to see that he was blushing to.

"Well, um, I think that is all for training to day. You may go," Master Fung said, walking away. Omi and Clay following closely behind.

I was about to leave and finish answering my emails when Rai court my wrist in his. I turned back to him. "What's up Rai?" I asked him curios.

"I need to tell you something," he said holding his hand out to me. "Walk with me?" he asked. I slowly took his hand and walk to the garden with him. What could he want to tell me?
