Raimundo and Kimiko 4ever

(Ok, so the setting is 5 years from where they left off at the Xiaolin Temple. So Clay is 19, Raimundo is 18, Kimiko is 17, and Omi is 15. Oh! And right after they defeated all the villans, Raimundo left for 4 years to go back to Brazil to see his family. Clay and Kimiko had left for 3 years to see their families. But they came back 1 year before Raimundo.)

Chapter 1: The Reunion

"He's coming back?!" Kimiko asked, running into Master Fung's office.

"Calm down, Kimiko. Sure it's been awhile, but still..." Clay said, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Kimiko, Clay, please sit down." Master Fung made a hand gesture at two unoccupied chairs. Omi occupied the third chair.

They sat down and waited for Raimundo. "So Master Fung? Why did it take Raimundo so long to decide to come back?" Kimiko reluctantly looked from the door to Master Fung.

"He did not tell me. Just that he had a bit of a tragedy and had to stay longer than he expected." Master Fung said simply.

What kind of tragedy did he have while he was there? Kimiko thought. Did someone in his family die?

Kimiko looked at the door. A brunette boy with green eyes stepped into the doorway. He wasn't smiling. He was wearing a red shirt with the black and white Yin-Yang sign on it. His pants were blue with lots of pockets. "Yo." He said, then noticed Kimiko. He turned his head to face her. But never said anything.

"Raimundo!" Omi exclaimed.

Raimundo looked over at Omi. "You didn't really change all that much, Omi. You just got taller, that's all."

Kimiko giggled. "Hey, Rai. How are you?"

"Hm?" Raimundo looked back at Kimiko. I haven't heard that nickname in awhile. That makes me feel...happier than I have been since... "I'm OK." He looked her up and down. "How 'bout you, Kimiko? You definatly look...older."

"I'm fine. Really psyched to see you again, Rai." Kimiko smiled at him. Unfortunatly he didn't return the gesture.

"I'm really happy to see you too, Kimiko." He said. Still not smiling.

"So, partner, you glad to be back, or what?" Clay smiled.

"Clay, my man!" He never smiled, but he sounded pretty enthusiastic. They clapped hands together. When they released, Raimundo looked over at Master Fung. "Am I still stuck in that stall you call a room or do I actually get a room?" He smirked.

It looks like a smirk is the closest thing we'll get to a smile these days. Kimiko looked disappointed but didn't mention anything.

Not the best way to start it out, but hey, I started it. If people like this story, I'll keep going. So...Reviews please!!
