Ancient Urges
"KIMIKO TOHO!!!" Dojo shouted at the top of his voice. Kimiko and Raimundo both looked up and saw him hovering in the air, smoke coming out of his nostrils and mouth. Clay and Omi were there too, looks of disguist on their faces. They jumped off Dojo and just stood there, staring at the two of them. Raimundo and Kimiko then hastily got up and buttoned their clothes up sheepishly. They only then realised Master Fung was there with them.
"Hello, Dragon of Fire. Oh, and I see the Dragon of Wind is here too." Master Fung still had that expressionless look on his face, but with a disappointing glint in his eye.
Kimiko bowed to show respect. She was still puzzled on why he was calling them by 'Dragon'. She was about to ask when Raimundo did for her.
"Umm... Why are you calling us that? We have names you know," Raimundo was obviously annoyed.
Master Fung sighed. "Because it is the last time I will be able to." Kimiko looked at Clay and Omi, and saw the look on their faces which said it all.
"You see, when Grand Master Dashi had taken control of the Shen-Gong-Wu, he also met the Xiaolin Dragons while he was training in the mountains. They all agreed that if any of them should go to the Heylin side and any of the Xiaolin dragons get involved with them, they will both lose their..." Master Fung paused. It seemed that he could barely get the words out, "You will lose your dragon."
An awkard silence followed. None of them could believe it. Kimiko looked at Omi and Clay, who had faces like a wet weekend.
"But, I can still stay at the Xiaolin Temple, right?" Kimiko asked. Master fung shook his head.
"I am afraid not, Kimiko. You must stay at the Temple tonight for the Farewell Ceremony, and Raimundo has to come as well. Then, you must go home. You cannot stay in China."
"Well, if it's for the best..." Kimiko looked over at Raimundo, who was sitting at the cliff-edge, legs dangling over.
He turned his head to Master Fung. "So, if I go to the Ceremony tonight, then I can stay here forever?"
"If that is what you wish." Master Fung said, "If you want to talk about it privately with Kimiko, then we will wait here."
Raimundo took Kimiko's hand and they walked a little further away from the rest of the group.
"So, do you want to go tonight?" Kimiko asked Raimundo. He took hold of her shoulders so she was facing him.
"This is all my fault. If I hadn't kissed you, then none of this would have happened. I don't mind about losing my dragon, but you-," Kimiko put her finger to his lips.
"I don't care about that." Kimiko said to him. Then something in her sturred and she suddenly started to sing to him:
There's a sadness that they don't see,
When you come to me, with your sorrows.
It's not enough for you to cry,
Cause you don't know why it still hurts.
I know we've been here a thousand times,
With your past full of lies it's still there.
A constant struggle to find yourself,
But I know that I can't help at all, no.
You don't have nothing but pride, to keep you alive, yeah
I can say it will be fine, it's a beautiful lie,
I'll let you know, you can leave it all up to me.
I see the way they talk with you,
They're always trying to prove, that they are better.
You run away cause you can't take,
The way they make you feel.
Another self-ache behind locked doors,
But then nobody knows that something's wrong,
You made a cage that you cannot break,
I tried but I can't help at all.
You don't have nothing but pride, to keep you alive, yeah.
I can say it will be fine, it's a beautiful lie,
I'll let you know, you can leave it all up to me.
I can feel you,
I can heal you,
I can help you.
It's a beautiful lie, lost in silence, trapped by violence, oh.
You don't have nothing but pride, to keep you alive, yeah.
I can say it will be fine, it's a beautiful lie,
So please, don't leave it all up to me.
You don't have nothing but pride, to keep you alive, yeah.
I can say it will be fine, it's a beautiful lie,
So please, don't leave it all up to me.
"Wow. Where did you learn that?" Raimundo asked her.
"I don't know. I just think I heard it somewhere before..." Her voice trailed off into the distance. She shook herself out of it and smiled.
"So, are we going tonight?"
"Sure."
They walked back to Master Fung, hand in hand, unaware of the danger that would happen that night.
A/N: There you go. Chapter 7.
