I hope you like it! Enjoy!

Okay so the plan was that Dojo, Kimiko, and Clay were going to lure Raimundo away from the palace. Omi, Jack, and I were going to fight Wuya. Our lives pretty much depended on Jack Spicer because apparently he was the only one who could open the puzzle box. I was so nervous though...what if we failed? We'd die for sure and...that wouldn't be good for the entire world.
"Okay...open it." Omi whispered and handed Jack the puzzle box.
Jack smiled and got to work. It had been over a minute and we saw Jack struggling to open the damn thing.
"Stop goofing around and open the box!" Omi glared at him.
"I'm trying! It won't open!" Jack informed us.
"You said you could open it!" I hissed at him.
"I thought I could! This box must be different from the first one." Jack said.
"This box is supposed to open when the person that needs to open it most opens it! AND I REALLY NEED TO OPEN IT!" Omi grew angry as he also tried opening the puzzle box and failed to as well.
I almost peed my pants when Wuya stood right behind Omi.
Shit...we just gave away our position...
"Uh...Omi?" I started shaking. SHIT WE'RE GONNA DIE!
"NOT NOW!" He yelled and continued to attempt to open the puzzle box.
"Would you like me to try?" Wuya asked.
"Why thank you. That would be most- -" Omi's eyes widened when he finally realized Wuya was right there.
"AAAAAAAH!" We all screamed as Wuya began attacking us.
"I'm sure I can open it this way." Wuya kept shooting green flames from her hands at us.
"OMI YOU IDIOT! YOU GAVE AWAY OUR HIDING SPOT!" I shrieked.
"I'M SORRY OKAY?!" Omi cried.
We all continued to run around the room and I noticed that Jack was gonna get hit. As much as it pained me to say it.. he saved my life, so I'll save his. I jumped in front of Jack and got hit with one of Wuya's fireballs. I felt so weak just lying on the ground.
"Bella! NO!" Jack looked shocked.
I managed to sit up ignoring the pain and got the Eye of Dashi from my pocket.
"EYE OF DASHI! LIGHTNING!" I aimed it at Wuya and she simply dodged it.
It didn't take long, but soon enough she managed to capture us all and we were now currently floating upside down. That didn't take long at all...
"WUYA! The prisoners have escaped and I think they're- -" Raimundo burst into the room.
"No need to worry Raimundo. I have it all under control. They are no threat to me." Wuya replied calmly.
"Raimundo! Help us! Please!" Omi begged.
"Well, well...the gang's all here." Wuya smirked.
More rock monsters came into the room with Kimiko, Clay, and Dojo. Shit...we're all screwed now...
"I'm guessin' the box didn't work..." Clay spoke up.
"Jack Spicer couldn't open it!" Omi mocked Jack.
"Not like you did any better Chrome Dome!" Jack retorted.
Wuya smirked and grabbed the puzzle box from Omi.
"You got a magical puzzle box from Dashi? Impressive effort I must say...but it was very usual of Dashi to give it to you without teaching you how to use it. He always was a fool..." Wuya rambled. Wuya dropped the puzzle box in Raimundo's hands. "Now to finish business...crush them!" She said enthusiastically.
"Not so fast Wuya! Once again you have forgotten my ability to change size!" Dojo spoke up. Dojo grew, but got squished in his cage again. Jack, Omi, and I were all placed in the same rock monster cage.
"Just kill me now..." I grumbled and rolled my eyes at Dojo.
"That can be arranged." Wuya smirked at me. "Crush them."
Our cages were shrinking and I started to panic. I fell on top of Jack and he looked at me with the most fearful look in his eye. He hugged me in attempt to comfort me and shield me.
"It's gonna be okay..." Jack murmured softly. I felt tears forming into my eyes and looked back at Jack. "We'll all be fine soon." Jack smiled sadly.
"Jack...I'm scared." I whispered. The cage got even smaller.
"You don't have to be scared...don't give Wuya the satisfaction..." Jack told me.
I nodded as more tears fell down my face. This was just weird...normally Jack would be blubbering like a baby, but for once...he seemed brave. Despite what's going to happen to us in a minute.
"Look...you were right earlier...I do like you...I don't know why and I probably shouldn't, but I really like you."
Jack looked shocked for a second or two before he smiled at me.
"I like you too." He spoke up.
I hugged him and closed my eyes...bracing myself for death. I was at peace now...the one guy I like, likes me back. I guess I can move on now...
"Wuya wait! You can't squish them like that!" Raimundo looked upset.
Just like that the cages stopped moving.
"Why you're right Raimundo! There's no need to make a mess in my throne room! Take them to the dungeon!" My hope was lifted! We're gonna live! "And then crush them." GOD DAMMIT NOOO!
We all cried out to Raimundo begging for him to save us. To do something!
"Raimundo! I know we've never gotten along that well, but I know there's still good inside you! I know there is! Please help us Rai!" I yelled desperately.
Raimundo looked conflicted as he held the puzzle box in his hands. It appeared that he didn't know what to do...what to think...
"Raimundo! Master Fung chose you for a reason! You don't belong on the Heylin side!" Omi added.
"Raimundo has proven his loyalty to me time and again. And all because I can give him anything he wants!" Wuya smiled smugly.
"Anything?" Raimundo asked himself.
"Games, toys, Canada. Name it and it's yours." Wuya told him.
"...I want my friends." Raimundo finally decided.
In seconds we all saw a bright light coming from in front of Raimundo. He opened the puzzle box! YES!
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Wuya shouted.
A figure had formed from the bright lights. It was the spirit of Grand Master Dashi!
"Dashi!" Wuya hissed at the figure.
"Wuya! The years have not been kind to you!" Dashi joked. Dashi's spirit flew right through Wuya and just like before, she was back into her ghost form. In seconds Wuya was sucked back into the puzzle box.
"Well done Dragon of the Wind." Dashi smiled at Raimundo before his spirit faded away.
Damn...that is SO cool.
Our cages crumbled and we were now free. I smiled right until the entire palace started shaking. Looks like we're gonna have to run out of here Indiana Jones style...
"DOJO!"
Everyone held onto Dojo as he quickly transformed. I looked back behind me as we got out of there and saw the entire palace fall apart.
I'm glad we got out of there...
Everyone smiled at our old friend. We were glad to have Raimundo back on our side. I mean, I could understand why Raimundo cracked and ran over to the Heylin side, but I was glad that he realized that having everything isn't everything.

"Raimundo, for riches and glory you have betrayed us all." Master Fung began.

"But he saved us all." Omi objected.
"Yeah! Without him we'd be Texas toast!" Clay said.

"Or worse!" Kimiko added.

I finally had enough and stood in front of Raimundo defensively.

"Master Fung look...Raimundo always had good inside of him. I know we were all pretty broken up when he betrayed us, but he learned that even though he has everything...it won't make him happy. He just had to experience all of that shit with Wuya to realize that." I folded my arms.
Master Fung and everyone seemed flabbergasted that I even defended Raimundo in the first place. It was completely true that we never got along since we both met, but I guess I can move past that and forgive him. Maybe the two of us could finally be friends.
"Guys, guys...I did a lot of damage. And I have to do whatever it takes to make things right again." Raimundo said.
"Whatever it takes, Raimundo?" Master Fung asked.
"Yes, Master Fung." Rai bowed his head. Master Fung smiled and held up and sash. The sash that was meant for apprentices. "What's this?" Rai looked dumbfounded.
"The sash of a Xaolin apprentice. It is yours."
We all smiled. He could finally be an apprentice! Master Fung looked surprised when Raimundo didn't take the sash.
"It's not that I don't want it yet...I'm just not ready." Rai replied. Master Fung smiled and seemed proud of Raimundo. "But I will be someday if Omi helps me." Rai joked.

We were all chilling out together on top of a cliff. I stood by Jack who was still surprisingly here. Usually he would have taken off by now. I kept blushing...he now knows that I like him. Maybe he doesn't really like me and now that he knows I have some kind of weakness for him, he'll use it against me. I wanted Jack to stay with us and still have his personality, but I knew that would never happen. Jack just...doesn't like following orders. He's more rebellious than he is evil though.
"It's like Wuya never even ruled the world." Clay spoke up.
"Which is just the way I like it for the record." Kimiko agreed.
"Yeah swell, I'm outta here." Jack walked away.
I frowned as I saw him walk away. Omi grabbed onto his jacket.
"Jack Spicer! Wait! Please!" Omi whined. "You have done well! We could not have defeated Wuya without you!" Jack stopped walking and Omi let him go.
"All true...you going somewhere with this?" Jack asked.
"Yes! You should stay at the Xaolin Temple with us, improve your skills, and join the fight for good!" Omi proposed.
Everyone looked unsure about this, but me however? I practically jumping on the inside. If Jack stayed I would be super happy!
"Me fight for good in a bath robe?! No thanks! I pass! The next time we meet, we're enemies again!" Jack used his hover pack thing and began flying.
Omi looked sad at this answer.
"But maybe when we're not fighting over Shen Gong Wu, we could go out for ice cream or something...my treat." Jack cracked a small smile.
"That would be nice! We could get a Monday!" Omi seemed happy.
"Sundae." Clay corrected him.
"Even better!" Omi laughed.
I looked down at the ground and began walking away.
I knew he'd leave...it was gonna happen sooner or later.
I then felt a breeze and something grabbing at my hand. I turned around and gasped when I saw Jack holding my hand smirking at me.
"Hey...don't think I forgot about what you said at Wuya's palace...and I think I owe you something for saving my tail earlier..." Jack released my hand and held my face in his hands.
Everyone looked at us in curiosity and confusion.
"W- -what? It's fine you don't owe me- -"
Jack shut me up by kissing me.
OH MY GOD...JACK SPICER WAS KISSING ME!
I didn't know whether to push Jack away or pull him even closer. Jack took the lead and wrapped his left arm around my waist to pull me closer. My eyes fluttered shut when I felt his tongue snake its way into my mouth. I moaned as his tongue explored my mouth and stroke my own tongue. He even tasted like cinnamon and pudding cups! Those were such a good combination! As fast as the kiss happened, it quickly ended when Jack knew how heated things were getting.
"Damn...you're a good kisser. Call me sometime babe." Jack winked at me with a smug grin formed onto his face.
I was completely taken by surprise and only waved goodbye as he flew away. I tried ignoring the very shocked looks everyone was giving me.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Raimundo squeaked. HA! He squeaked! Jack's right! It's both funny and cute!
"Uh...gee it's getting really dark out!" I said nervously. "I should probably get going inside now- -"
"Oh no you don't lil lady!" Clay grabbed the back of my shirt.
"It is not even dark out in the slightest!" Omi argued. Duh...It was just a lie, so I could leave...
"Now what was that?!" Raimundo asked again.
"I think I hear Master Fung guys! Let's go!" I tried running only for Clay to hold onto my shirt tighter and lifted me from the ground.
"Bella...is there something you're not telling us?" Kimiko smiled. Kimiko just seemed like she was going to jump with joy now that I found a boy that I liked...even if it was Jack Spicer.
"No..." I grumbled. I pouted and folded my arms like a child as Clay continued to hold me up off the ground.
"I think there's something you're not telling us due to the fact that JACK SPICER JUST PRACTICALLY MADE OUT WITH YOU!" Raimundo freaked out.
When did he get protective all of a sudden?
"Just drop it will ya?" I glared at everyone.
"Bella...it's okay...we're not mad at you." Kimiko assured me.
"I can't believe you're denying it! I mean it's obvious that you two like each other!" Raimundo yelled frantically.
"FINE! I LIKE JACK SPICER OKAY?!" I admitted.
Clay dropped me in surprise and I took off running. I was so embarrassed! I mean...I shouldn't even be embarrassed! I like Jack and there's nothing wrong with that! Everyone has me so worked up right now! GOD DANG IT!
"Isabella...you must take this." Master Fung came into my 'room'. Or what I call my bedroom.
I glanced at the weird prescription bottle that Master Fung held in his hands. What the...where did Master Fung even get that?
"It was given to me by Jack Spicer. He said it was to help you heal more quickly." He quickly answered.
It's so weird how he knows what I'm thinking...
"But when did he..."
"He gave it to me when you all arrived at the Xaolin Temple."
Aw...Jack really does care about me!
"Is there something troubling you?" He asked.
"Nope...I'm just in a lot of pain...I should probably change my bandages or get new stitches or something..." I half lied.
"I shall fetch others to take care of that immediately. I suggest you take the pill right now though." He told me.
I laid down on my mat and placed my head on my pillow as Master Fung walked away. This is gonna be a long night...

I woke up with a text message from a unknown number, but I had a feeling I already knew who it was.

Hey baby cakes, wanna come hang out with me?
-JS

How did Jack even get my number? Well...that's a dumb question I guess...he's pretty much a techno geek...I sat up and stared at the text. Should I or shouldn't I? I mean technically we're enemies again and dating an enemy would just complicate everything...the others probably would think I was working with Jack. But I could never be on the Heylin side! And Jack wasn't all that evil! He just doesn't wanna be a goody-goody-two-shoes. Is that the correct term I'm looking for? I finally replied.

When and where?

I looked at my phone until it vibrated again. I quickly opened the message and ready his last text.

I'll come meet you outside the temple, so we can have some real fun. Get dressed and be ready in five minutes.

I smiled to myself and put on some jeans and a long black sleeve shirt that hugged my body tightly. It was such a comfy shirt...I made sure to be quiet and tip toe all the way outside the temple. Jack was floating just outside the Xaolin Temple walls.

"I knew you couldn't resist." Jack smirked.
"This isn't a trick...is it?" I asked timidly. Jack looked genuinely surprised to hear me ask such a question.
"Why would I trick you? I actually like you...did those Xaolin losers say something to you?" Jack folded his arms and frowned.
"I know what they will say..." I muttered. "It's only a matter of time before they give me the talk about dating an enemy..."
"Hey, you'll never be my enemy." Jack gripped my chin lightly. "I mean...I guess when we're going after Shen Gong Wu we'll just do what we normally do, but you could never be a real enemy of mine." Jack spoke seriously.
I looked into his eyes in attempt to detect some kind of lie, but I saw none. He seemed honest for once. I smiled at Jack and pecked him on the lips.
"So what do you feel like doing? Why'd you call me out here?" I winked at him.
Jack blushed before a devious smile formed onto his face.
"I thought we could get out of here and have a little fun." He grinned.
"Depends on what your version of fun is..." I looked at him skeptically.
"I know you're a little goody-two-shoes, so it's nothing like that. I wanted to know if you wanted to see a horror movie!"
"You watch horror movies?" But you're such a scaredy cat! HOW?
"Yeah I know it's a little surprising considering I'm a little jumpy..." A little jumpy? "But it seems like fun. There's gonna be a re-run of Scream!"
"I haven't seen that movie in years...I couldn't even make it to the end when I was younger because I'd always run out of the room." I laughed.
"Eh...I couldn't watch that movie Chucky when I was younger...the one with the killer puppet thing? That always freaked me out." Jack also started laughing along with me.
"Oh yeah! That always freaked me out too!" I smiled excitedly. "Let's go!"
"I thought you'd never ask." Jack wrapped his arms around me before lifting me up and holding me bridal style. "Hold onto something." Jack's devious grin returned.
And we took off into the night.

Okay...I was tired...more than tired...god I felt like I could collapse any second. Today was a training day. Oh joy...
"Why do you look like a zombie bro?" Rai asked.
"That's something every girl likes to hear, Rai...thanks." I glared at him.
"But seriously...is everything alright?" Raimundo seemed concerned.
I'm surprised...why's he so nice to me now?
"I- -uh...couldn't really get to sleep. My wound was keeping me awake most of the night." I patted my stomach gently. I was half lying...the rest of that night after I came home from Jack's place, my wound hurt like a bitch.
Raimundo looked incredibly guilty as soon as he glanced down at my stomach.
"I'm so sorry..." He mumbled and averted his eyes.
"What?" I looked at him in confusion.
"If I hadn't revived Wuya, you wouldn't have almost died. You'd be alright..." Awwwww! That's so sweet!
"Rai...I ALMOST died, but I didn't. And besides, everything worked out just fine, so you have nothing to be sorry for okay? Wuya did this to me...not you." I put my hand on his shoulder and smiled at him.
"I still can't help, but feel like it's my fault." Rai looked like he saw a puppy getting kicked repeatedly. I want to hug him so much right now!
"I'm not dead and this isn't your fault! Now let's go train okay?" I grabbed his hand and led him over towards everyone else.
"EH HEM!" Kimiko coughed loudly. I glanced over at Kimiko in confusion. She was gesturing me to come over towards her.
"Okay what is it?" Kimiko led me away from the others.
"So where did you and Jack go last night?" Kimiko whispered. I blushed and my eyes widened in surprise.
"Whatever do you mean Kimiko?" I smiled nervously.
"Look, I'm not against you dating anybody, even if it is Jack...just be careful okay?" Kimiko winked at me.
"Okay...we went to his house and watched horror movies..." I sighed. Kimiko brightened up and bounced around excitedly.
"OOH! Tell me the details!" Kimiko smiled happily.
"SSSH!" I put my hand over her mouth. "I'll tell you later okay?"
We went back over with the others to do some standard training. We all took turns running around the course trying to beat each other's time. By the time it was my turn I had made it half way, until I felt a sharp pain on my stomach and fell to the ground moaning in pain. Omi had to deflect the ninja stars headed my way as Clay picked me up.
"Jeez girl! You almost gave me a heart attack." Clay sighed in relief. "Kimiko! Go get Master Fung...Bella's gonna need some medical attention."
"I- -I'm fine...I just ran out of breath that's all." I chuckled.
"That was no breath you were running out of...it's your battle wound from Wuya isn't it?" Omi looked worried.
I blushed and looked away.
"I knew you shouldn't be doing anything...why didn't I say something to Master Fung this morning?" Raimundo looked mad.
Kimiko came back out with several monks and Master Fung.
"I should have taken more precautions. Isabella, for the next two weeks I want you on bed rest...no training, no fighting, and no going after the Shen Gong Wu. I want you to rest up, so that you may heal more quickly." Master Fung told me.
"NO FIGHTING?! NOOOOOOO!" I yelled at the sky. "OW!" I yelped and held my stomach.

"That is precisely why I said two weeks, Isabella...if you're still not better by then, then we will wait two more weeks.
"Let us examine your wound Miss Ridolfi." A monk spoke up. Clay handed me over to the monk and he proceeded to carry me away.
"If I ever see Wuya again, I'm gonna murder that bit- -I mean witch!"

I hope you liked it! I thought this chapter turned out okay! lol XD Let me know what you think, but be nice please!
