Chapter 3 – Truth

Rai's POV

"Walk with me?" I asked her. She didn't answer me, just held my hand which, I took as a yes. I led her out of the training grounds and to the gardens.

I was nervous. I mean who wouldn't be if you were about to tell the girl of your dreams that you love her. To me it felt a little wired because she was my best friend, I mean come on your not meant to be in love with your best friend, but then it also fell ssssooo right. It like we were made for each other.

I led Kimiko through the gardens to my favourite tree. It was a pink blossom tree, and it was in full bloom, which meant that it was coated in flowers. The wind had blown loads of petals off of the tree so the ground under it was pink with petals. The wood of the tree even looked pink.

I walked right up to the tree and sat down under it, patting the ground next to me, indicating Kimiko to sit next to me. OK here I go I'm going to tell her.

I took a deep breath and started.

"Kimi, you know how your my best friend and all?" I asked, gawd I've never been this nervous.

"Yeah," she said looking at me with an arched eye brow.

"Well... I have something I really need to tell you, but... I'm not sure... how," I let out a nervous laugh at the end.

"Well, no matter what it is I won't judge you. Like you said, your my best friend, so what's up?" she gave me a small smile and patted my arm. I looked at her smile, my days, I really want to kiss her right now. That's it, I could show her.

"Well...," I scratched the back of my head, I could do this. "It's not so much a tell you. More of a show you."

"What do y-"

I cut her off mid-sentence, crushing my lips onto hers. I felt her tense up and then relax. After that I wrapped my arms around her waist, and after a moment I felt her wrap her arms around my neck and pull me down slightly. I knew what she wanted and deepened the kiss. I brushed my tough lightly across her bottom lip asking for entry. Kimiko granted it. I slid my tough into her mouth and felt her hot breath on it. Her tough she began to fight me for dominance in the kiss but she was losing poorly. I leant back pulling Kimiko with me till I felt ground beneath my back, not once breaking the kiss, (AN: they were breathing through their noses). After a few more moments I broke the kiss, panting, I looked straight into her ocean blue eyes and she looked straight back at me.

"I love you Kimiko," I confest (sp?)

I saw here eye's water. "I love you too," she said with a smile. I let out a sigh of relief and content and then pulled her in for another kiss.

Normal POV

Unknown to the new couple, the whole scene had been watch by Chase young, through his pet Raven's eye. It had been reporting everything back to Chase.

Chase's POV

Ah, so the two dragons in training have finally admitted their feelings for each other. Good. That makes the wait for me to put my plan into action much shorter.

I sat in my throne watching Kimiko, not the leader who was my target, but his newly appointed girlfriend. Now that I actually sat and looked at her she had matured a lot over the years. She had better control of her temper and powers, she had also matured physical too. She had grown taller, her raven black hair had grown longer and she had developed a nice waist and breasts.

She could be a very valuable member for the Heylin. I have watched her for a while, to see what was the best way to take her for my plan. Huh, she could make a lovely Queen of Darkness, ruling by my side after that pest of a boyfriend is disposed of.

Yes, I can put my plan into action as soon as a new Wu reveals it's self. Having Wuya and Jack living here may suck, but I guess the hag and the fool do come in handy sometimes.

"WUYA!" I shouted and soon Wuya came floating in.

"Yes, Chase what can I do for you?" she asked in her raspy voice.

"I want you to inform me next time a Shen-Gong-Wu goes active. I wish to accompany you and the boy." I told her.

"Well of cores. But may I ask why? You have never taken an interest the Shen-gong-Wu before, why now?"

"It is not of the Wu I take an interest in Wuya, it is of one of the monks." Her mask face was unreadable.

"What? Omi again? I thought we had-" I cut her off mid-sentence.

"No, not Omi this time. The little fire dragon."

"Kimiko? And of what use is she? She may be the only one of them that has never once gone Heylin, but that is a bad thing not a good thing. For us at least."

"Well, we can always try to convert her. But that is not the main reason. She and the Wind dragon have recently gotten together. And if we have Kimiko it will be easier to kill him."

An evil smile curled onto her mask lips. "But what are you suggesting?"

"I am suggesting that we take her away from her other monks and use her against them or simply as bait. Though I will admit, having her as my queen also wouldn't be too bad." I smiled.

Wuya suddenly let out a scream. I turned towards her and burst into the room.

"A new Shen-Gong-Wu has revealed its self."

I grind evilly. Perfect. The dragon of fire will be mine by the end of the day. And with that the three of us set out for this new wu.
