Before I write ANYTHING: I do not own xiaolin showdown...otherwise there'd be bit (not too much) but a BIT more romance between certain characters...

And yes...I know "high school" is so cliché, but hey education is important and it makes for a good story. By the way, this story is mostly about Kimiko.

Ages:
Raimundo : 18 Kimiko: 17 Clay: 18 Omi: 16 Jack Spicer: 18

Feel free to leave criticism (or even good feedback). Trust me, it wont hurt my feelings.

Chapter one: Ugh, High school

At first, the temple was quiet. Nothing but wind echoed through the empty hallways. Not a soul was to be seen as the first beam of light traveled the walls of the temple enterance. Suddenly, four alarms went off all at once.

Stomping clattering feet rushed down the hallways; figures too fast to see. Then the bathroom door slammed shut.

"HA!" Kimiko cheered being the first into the bathroom. "I'm first!" The three other xiaolin monks sighed heavily outside the door. Omi was the first to comment, "Kimiko, you must be quick in washing of your body. I am aware that females take long periods of time to appear more desirable to potential mates."

Kimiko opened the door for a minute and glared holes through Omi's head. The young once all-knowing-about-females monk shut his mouth so that his teeth shined brightly in a "please don't kill me" smile. "uhh...on second thought, take as long as you need" he stuttered. Kimiko smiled triumphantly and shut the door to resume her morning routine.

Raimundo, Clay, and Omi, decided to pick out their clothes knowing Kimiko would take a while in the shower.

"It's been a heck of a long time since I've gone to school." Clay laughed with a hint of excitement. "I reckon I don't remember anything past bein' here at the temple."

Raimundo laughed along side him. "Yeah, but it'll be nice to get back to human-society!"

The two boys continued to chatter about their home-town memories through the thin bedroom walls leaving Omi quiet and confused.

"I have never been to a school." Omi finally confessed, not liking to be an "apprentice" (noob) in anything.

"Oh, that's right, sorry little partner" Clay apologized from two doors down. "Don't worry, we'll all stick together, if there's anything you need to ask-"

"I'M THE ONE YOU NEED TO COME TO!" Raimundo cut in. Clay fumed for a minute, "Well hold on now!" His southern twang rising with his anger. "What makes you think I can't teach him a thing or two about makin' friends?"

"Because not everyone likes a hick, but everyone likes RAIMUNDO!" Rai concietedly taunted.

"Not everyone" Kimiko giggled walking down the hall with her dainty feet patting the temple floors gracefully. She held the towel tightly to her chest as her raven hair hugged her creamy shoulders.

After a course of bickering the group had finally laughed it off and soon everyone was ready for their return to school...well...except for Omi, who was about to experience his FIRST day of school.

Master fung stood patiently at the entrance, his frame casting a long shadow as he faced the morning sun. The four Xiaolin monks stood beside him awaiting dojo to take them to school.

"Before you go young monks" The wise master spoke. "I want you to give you a reminder to at least hide your powers." The xiaolin warriors looked between each other as Raimundo spoke up. "You're not gonna tell us not to use our powers?" his crooked smile lingered across his face.

Master fung laughed light-heartedly "I'm not an idiot, if I told you not to use your powers, you'd use them anyway." Dojo flew down and picked the teenagers up.

-to highschool-

They landed a little far from the highschool...after all a 50 foot dragon wasn't exactly low-profile. "Have fun at school" Dojo teared up. "I'm so proud of all of you" and with that he flew away.

The four friends walked together towards the school trying to teach Omi how to act "normal." He rubbed his head in confusion. "So many things to remember...perhaps I should go back to the temple and train before I take this challenge head on." He groaned. Kimiko put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Omi, you'll be making friends in no time!" She assured him.

The head-master of the school was well-aware of the situation, and a loyal companion to the temple. He issued a placement test, to figure out where the monks were academically. Raimundo, surprisingly, studied very hard when he found out they were going to start going to school. He placed as a senior. Clay, who doubted his abilities, scored quite nicely in History and Language arts, barely making him a senior. Omi, knew enough to qualify as a sophmore. And finally, Kimiko, placed a senior, which Raimuno laughed at saying she only placed so high because she was asian.

The group parted their ways, soon to face the life of...

Ugh...Highschool...

I know I didn't really do much with this chapter, but I wanted to write this chapter to set up the scene and get the ball rolling.
