A/N:

Hi guys, thank you so much for the reviews, I had a feeling someone would like Taylor and Clay! I just want to say, this chapter is coming out earlier than I planned because I'm ill so I'm home all day so you may get two or three chapters today! *Yay!*

Anyway, this isn't too much of a filler, like the last one. Introducing another few characters from the show, if you don't like the pairings in this, I am sorry but I absolutely adore this pairing!

So on with the show! R&R, the reviews really are lovely to read, I woke up to two more this morning and really cheered me up from being ill!

Anastasia had been inseparable from Omi for months after that. She was starting to wonder if his offer of friendship was still available to formally accept. She then realised she'd been looking at him for a few minutes.

"Stasia, you're staring at me. Were you deep in thought?" He'd developed the nickname 'Stasia' for her.

"Sorry, Omi, I didn't realise I was even staring! I must have been thinking really hard." He smiled; she had begun to warm to him but he didn't know what that fluttering feeling was.

"What were you thinking about?"

"I have decided we can be real friends."

He was about to reply when Raimundo and Kimiko came in arguing to the dining room.
"Rai, I told you I didn't want you using my body scrub!" She was practically shouting.

"Kim, I didn't want you using my Lynx but you did anyway!" He replied, angrily.

The squabble went on over breakfast.

"You can't even make cereal correctly!" Rai was poured milk then cereal into his bowl. Kimiko had milk blown over here when she was poured it over her cereal for her comment.

"At least I don't spill milk all over me when I'm pouring it." He gave a sarcastic smile and got up to make toast.

Kimiko set it on fire and smiled bitterly. "At least I don't set toast on fire."

They stormed out the dining room and continued the fight outside their rooms.

"You're so irritating!"

"I can't stand you!" She fired back, hurt by his previous comment.

"I HATE YOU." They shouted at each other and stormed into their rooms. They leaned against their doors and slid down them. Rai thought through what happened whereas Kimiko just cried instead. What had their friendship become?

Clay and Taylor looked at each other then looked at Omi and Anastasia.

"We need to go and talk to her." Taylor looked at Anastasia pointedly.

"I think the word I'm looking for is no." Anastasia rolled her eyes at her; no way would she help someone else.

"Ana, I'm serious; we're going to talk to her." Taylor dragged Ana away from her food. They stood outside Kimiko's door; they could hear her crying on the other side of the door.

"Kimi, I can hear you on the other side of the door." Taylor called.

"Go away; I don't want to talk to you."

The girls walked away, only to hear her call Frankie. They decided to leave her to it. They walked to Rai's room and stood outside.
"Rai, come out and speak to her."

"No, it's not my problem she's mental." He was still angry.

"Do not call her mental, Rai. You know she can hear you; she's also got a temper and so do we, if you insult people we care about. So I suggest you open the door, sweet cheeks." Ana growled through the door, she knew Rai's weakness.

She knew he would open the door and he did. "Is she upset?" He looked warn out.

"She's on the phone to Frankie, crying, for the ninth time in the past three days." The girls said in unison.

He looked at the floor. Shoving past them, he stood by her door and knocked.

"Who's there?" Her voice wavered as she spoke.

"It's me, Kimi-Cub. Let me in, we'll talk about this." His voice was soft so she opened the door and nodded him in.

The girls high fived, they had succeeded in that hard task although they were sure they'd be fighting again the next day.

Wuya watched the girls celebrate their minor victory.

'This will be your last victory, Xiaolin. And that's a promise.'

Wuya laughed lightly and then vanished before they saw her.

Katnappe was thinking of Jack and his genius. Ashley was getting a bit into Jack, maybe a little too much. Jack was cocky but not too cocky and he kissed her lightly rather than roughly like Chase had.

"Kat, how are you today?" Jack walked down from his room; she was the best thing that had happened to him since becoming a boy genius.

"Jack, I don't want to talk today." She growled quietly into his ear.

He pulled back and pressed his lips to hers gently. "I'm working today."

She hated the fact she was just supposed to let him spy on the monks when she knew, deep, deep, deep down that he needed closure, just as much as she did. Ashley did not want to fight anymore, Ashley was growing up but Katnappe had gotten her too deep.

'I want a normal life again, I want to grow up. Maybe even get married.' She smiled at the thoughts of her and Jack getting married. She continued to fight with herself all day.

Omi and Stasia spent the afternoon training for hand to hand combat. He was slightly ahead of her for each attack.

"Wudai Sun Light." She shouted; pushing her arms forwards. The she felt a warmth fill her and surround her but she also saw Omi's light go out. She ended it as soon as he got weakened.

"Stasia, you're so beautiful when you use your powers." She blushed at his words.

She sat opposite on the meadow, talking to him. All of a sudden, without thinking, she leaned forward and pressed her lips lightly against his cheek and ran off. She was not seen for the rest of the week. Omi had felt abandonment from his parents, Kimiko and now his best friend. Omi now knew how Raimundo felt when Kimiko left the temple without telling him herself.

Clay was spending every night comforting Taylor-Jane. They would talk about home and places they've been, favourite films and favourite books. The two kept a business relationship during the day but were best friends at night. Omi was too busy waiting for his Anastasia to return to the temple to notice Clay or Taylor sneaking into the others room. Raimundo and Kimiko noticed there was something up but were too busy fighting to actually say something.

Jack returned home to an empty lair. He didn't see the note in the kitchen area and assumed Kat had run off with someone better, probably Chase. Jack despised Chase because of the pain Kat had suffered because of him. Then Jack remembered when he and Kat had finally gotten together.

Katnappe was talking to Jack in Chase's lair, waiting for Chase to return from an inevitable fight. The Xiaolin warriors were too strong for him and they knew it but he would continue to fight for the rest of eternity. Katnappe knew she was in for a rough night with Chase; he was always rough when he was angry.

Chase stormed into his lair, catching Katnappe's gaze. Jack saw the light in her eyes go out when he was around. He hated how he could hurt her like that and the bruises Kat would get when he was in a mood like this. It hurt to see her like this. She began to walk to Chase so he could bruise her arms, her legs and her back again. He panicked; he could not let Chase hurt his only friend.

"Walk away with me now, say we're going to spy on the monks and then we'll never come back, I'll take you away from this, I promise." He whispered in her ear.

"Chase, we have decided to spy on the monks, so you can attack their weaknesses next time. But only if that's okay." The pleading in her eyes was evident.

"Go ahead, Katnappe. I don't care what you do." He said, uncaring as always.

They hurried out and grabbed the few things she owned, packed them in a small bag and fled his lair never having to return to Chase or his bed or a raised hand. They ran to where Jack resided. The first few nights were fine, they shared a double bed but they'd stay up all night talking about anything. Nothing funny would be going on, just two friends. Kat got up early and made him a fry up on the Sunday, having finally settled in since running on Wednesday. He smelt bacon and wandered into the kitchen to see Kat in one of his dress shirts and tracksuit bottoms. He realised how beautiful she looked in the morning, even without makeup and wild hair.

"Are you actually cooking for me?" He was surprised; he thought she couldn't cook since he had to come home with Chinese or Pizza every night since he couldn't cook.

"Well, I'm a very good cook and I really love staying with you. I thought I could do something each day to tell you how thankful I am." She didn't turn round, just focused on the eggs, bacon and mushrooms she was cooking.

He remembered on the Thursday she had laid his clothes out for him so he could take it easy when getting ready. On Friday she made him something to eat for when he was out and on Saturday, she tidied the whole place. He was surprised she managed to get it done. She had one cat with her and it was a little white Persian that was always around her. It reminded him of her hugely. She had offered to get rid of it but he took one look at it and fell in love with it. They named her 'Sweetie' together.

"I didn't know you could cook, Kat."

She turned around and smiled. "There are a lot of surprises up ahead then." She turned the cooker ring off, took the frying pan off the heat and walked over to Jack. She put her arms round his neck and before he could even say anything, her lips were on his. The kiss was slow and gentle. He wrapped his arms round her waist gently, knowing too much pressure could hurt her with those bruises. He kissed back. They pulled away but stayed in the sweet embrace of the others arms.

Since that moment, they'd been together. They'd been in love, so he thought. He threw a glass at the wall, scared she was gone forever. He sank down against the kitchen counter when the sweet little cat called Sweetie came and jumped onto his lap and stopped the pain, just for a little while but long enough for him to black out from anger.

A/N: Okay, so I know some people probably won't like this chapter but I absolutely loved writing it. Finally introduced some villains! Let the real plot begin! Although, I do love to write fluff... Let the real plot, with some extra fluff, begin! R&R!
