Kimiko's P.O.V
Ever since the year long war with the evil Heylin witch Wuya; things started to cool down, and the young monks finally had time to rest and lay back. Master Fung informed them that they would still stay at the temple, because evil never dies truly.
"Breakfast time, Dragons!" shouted Master Fung. Dojo, who didn't sense any Shen Gong Wu anymore, slithered in behind in behind him and muttered "When they beat Wuya, the started to sleep more... and eat more..." He stopped in mid sentence and stifled a yawn. Me, and the other three Xiaolin Dragons slumped down, ate our breakfast quickly, the only sound that could be heard were the occasional slurps and smacks coming from our mouths. "Boy have you guys changed... You didn't even say good morning to your favorite dragon, Me! Anyways, how old are you guys again? Dojo said, breaking the silence. "Well Dojo, right now I'm 18." said Clay, he then looked up from his food. "I'm 17 OKAY?" growled the grumpy Wind Dragon, he never was the morning person. "Looks like Raimundo got down on the wrong side of the bed!" said Omi. "I reckon it's up instead of down, partner." Clay corrected, smiling. "That too. Also Dojo, I am 15, and happy about it! he replied, grinning ear to ear, and jumping up and down.
I rolled my eyes and casually responded "I'm sweet 16, and Omi, could ya tune down a little? I have a splitting headache." "Maybe you have a headache because you were screaming at me for not knocking on the door, KIMIKO!" taunted Raimundo. "Put a sock in it Rai!" I screamed. Omi had a quizzical look on his face, and then asked shyly "Put a sock where, Kimiko?" "Up his bu-" "That's enough now Kimiko." said Master Fung, cocking an eyebrow. "Dragons, go outside and train, you never know when evil will strike." he said while turning on his heel and walking away. I turned and looked at Rai, then I felt butterflies in my stomach. I never noticed he had such pretty eyes... HEY! That's Raimundo, remember!
During training I was sitting on the ground, doing my hair when I heard Omi say " I will become the greatest Xiaolin Dragon ever!" While punching and kicking a very exhausted Raimundo. Eventually, Raimundo he just gave up and walked over to the old willow tree, and sat down, wiping sweat off his forehead. My eyes lingered on him for sometime, and then he began take off his shirt. Exposing well-developed abs...I also never noticed how hot he was too... Do I have a crush on Rai? Sounds like I do. I need to talk to him privately sometime...
Raimundo's P.O.V
I saw Kimiko, looking at me with a dazed expression, I had a desire to go join her; before I knew it, I was next to her and sitting down. After a few seconds she realized I was there, and she then looked into my eyes. Her eyes were a beautiful crystal blue... How come right now I am day dreaming? ...She's cute. I think I'm starting to like Kimiko Tohomiko more than a friend! I felt my cheeks turn several shades of red... I feel different... is this the dreamy feeling of love? My hand somehow made my way onto hers, "Rai, do you..."
Then Clay interrupted us, he asked "Raimundo, Kimiko, what are you doing? It's time to train, and Raimundo; you have to fight Omi again." I let out a loud groan, I shot Kimiko a disappointed look, and went to go fight Omi. I turned around my head to see a very flushed Kim. I think I'm in love... After a few rounds of being attacked by Omi, I was drenched in sweat. For a finishing move, Omi used Tornado Strike Water on me, and now I wasn't covered in sweat, but water. "Nice going Omi" I said sarcastically. "I know, that was nice going!" he said cheerfully as he ran inside the temple for lunch.
I waited for Kimiko, Clay passed me by, and then Kimiko ran up to me. I wanted to ask her a very important question, but I didn't know how to start it. She suddenly said "Say Rai, did you have any girlfriends back in Brazil?" I was stunned, I was going to ask her if she had a boyfriend or not too! Kimiko noticed my pause and said "Um... No offense to you if you're taken..." But I finally replied "No, I didn't in fact, I didn't even like anyone more than a friend. How about you?" She's got to be taken. She's beautiful, and boy would fall for her... like me. "Yes I did, but nothing serious, they were just like really close friends, and right now, I am available." My heart leaped for joy! Kimiko's not taken! That means I could ask her out sometime or something like that...
When Kim and I reached the 'Grub Room' (Clay's name for it) everyone was looking at Kim and I like we were mad. In an instance I said "I didn't do it." For a moment, the two boys in the room (Omi and Clay) were silent, then Omi said "Shouldn't you be insulting me, or arguing with her? You two are acting like best friends!" "Anything wrong Raimundo, because I don't think you got up on the right side of the bed." said Clay, who was tapping his fingers against the table, waiting for an acceptable answer from Kim and I. I looked over at Kim, she gave me a They-will-find-out-sooner-or -later look. I took a big breath and said "Kimi and I have found out that we kind of like each other, and we might be able to hook up sometime..." "Hook up?" said a voice that belonged to the curious Omi, "Does that mean catch fish together?" he asked. "No Omi, it means like each other more than friends, as in couple? I sneered impatiently. "Well that's great!" exclaimed Clay who was grinning sheepishly, "I've always wondered when you two would start to like each other!"
Kimiko's P.O.V.
To my relief, Master Fung let us stay in our rooms the rest of the day, until dinner that is. I was painting my nails when I heard soothing music from Raimundo's room. I quickly painted all my fingernails, and went to go talk to Raimundo, I had to figure out if I really did like him more than a regular friend. Then I knocked on his door (Unlike some people) and I heard his voice from inside say "Come in!" I opened the door and it revealed Rai sitting on his bed. (Master Fung gave everyone bigger rooms since they beat Wuya and because they were getting older.)
"Uh, Kim; Hi! Did you need to ask me something?" he said, Rai was obviously nervous.I walked over to his bed, and leaned my head on his shoulder. "Yes Rai, that's what I came here for, and I was wondering... do you like me more than a friend?" I asked, hoping for the answer to be good. "Kimi... I do like you a bit more than a friend, and I don't think that's going to change for a long time", he whispered, smirking. " Well that's good..." I said, trying not to explode with happiness.
Again his hand found it's way to mine... My heart skipped a beat. I never knew he could be so romantic... I wish this bliss could last forever. I cuddled next to him and gazed intently into his emerald green eyes, which were sparkling with something I never saw before... I saw love, passion, kindness, and lust in his eyes. Then I heard "Dinner Time Monks!" from Master Fung, who was the one that called us down. I moaned, and I was so carefree when I was laying next to him, with no problems on my mind at all. I relucantly got up and kissed him on the cheek and walked out of his room, leaving a awe struck Raimundo that was touching the place where I had kissed him. Before I left the room, I dropped a piece of paper, Rai hesitantly picked it up and read "Rai, meet me at the old willow tree at 10:30, come alone, I want to talk to you. -Kimiko
I ran to the dining room, to make sure I wouldn't be late, but everyone was there except Raimundo. 6:15. Right on time. After about 5 minutes of waiting, he finally ran into the room, out of breath. "You're late Raimundo." Master Fung said quietly, he then opened his eyes. ( He was meditating.) "Raimundo, Partner, you have a lipstick stain on your left cheek." Clay said, not trying to suppress a laugh. "Yes you do have a red candy stain on your cheek. Were you eating Kimiko's candy? It tastes most... not good." added Omi; eyes full of wonder." "Um... I was playing with Kim's lipstick?" he stuttered. I could tell that in his eyes that he was saying BELIEVE ME silently. "Yo, Kimiko, what do you have to say about this?" asked Dojo. I have to say something to cover all of it up! "Yes! He was playing with my lipstick... Think! THINK! to pull a prank on me!" Master Fung meanwhile was eyeing both Raimundo and I suspiciously.
I went back to my room, and crawled on my bed . Well that was close, I thought that something bad would have happened... I better get ready for my "date" with Rai. I went over to the shower and turned it on. Why do I feel like talking isn't the only thing that Raimundo and I will be doing tonight?
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I glanced quickly at the
clock, 9:55. I already took a shower, and lay down on my bed thinking
of what I was going to say to her. I should start out by saying how
pretty she looks in the moonlight... Then move onto what she really
wants to talk about. Yeah, that's a great idea, Kim will take it from
there...I can answer her questions, whatever they may be. 10:15. I
think I got everything planned out now... 10:25 I should be going now.
I
carefully walked down the hallway, I didn't want anyone to notice I was
going somewhere. I would really hate if Omi caught me doing this...
Crap, now I have to sneak past his room. I tiptoed past his room, and I
heard a "Raimundo, do you want to train?" I stopped dead in my tracks
and listened. "Oh, Okay, let's go. Monkey Strike!" he yelled."Look's
like I win again Raimundo..." he mumbled. Good, he was just dreaming,
but now I know what move he will be using tomorrow.
I snuck past
Clay's room he mumbled "Cows, Cows, everywhere... Raimundo, Kimiko,
help me round them up... They are jumping to the moon too much..."
That's it! He's all the way obsessed with cows and ranches, this will
be a good topic to tease him about.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
I was sitting down near the willow tree, how long will he take to get here?It's already 10:28. I know he will come, and it was very challenging to sneak past Omi's room, in fact, he asked me to fight him in a dream; and Clay was dreaming about cows as usual. I wonder what Raimundo dreams about. Probably about Brazil or his home, he always says it's a cool place. He should be here any minute.
