Senses Overload Anthology

Theme: Sight; Anger

Raimundo Pedrosa had always thought he had seen the most beautiful girls in his life.

Before he had come to China to be a xiaolin warrior, he flirted with various girls in Rio. The prettiest and hottest were the ones who flocked the beach every day; their sun kissed skin, hourglass bodies and eyes that batted with flirtatious promiscuity. Of course being a teenager, he jumped at every opportunity to impress them; it's like the natural order of things: find a hot girl and get her interested.

When he came into the temple, his first reaction was 'No way! There's no one here but a bunch of old guys and a cowboy who keeps eating!' He grumbled under his breath before the door opened once more.

It was then he first laid eyes on Kimiko Tohomiko. She was the exact opposite of what he had encountered before. A petite stature, pale ivory skin and a weird shade of bubble gum pink hair that was kept up by a scrunchy. Her outrageous outfit was certainly eye-catching. Fingerless fishnet gloves, a multi-coloured shirt and a miniskirt that stopped above her knees. Her small feet were covered by steel-toed boots and the most striking part was her face.

Fresh faced and innocent was something uncommon for him. Her baby blue eyes, rosy cheeks and pink lips sent messages in his brain with the words "Must... Act... On... Instincts!'

They kinda got on the wrong foot after that; she was the antithesis of the girls he met in Brazil and he learned it the hard way. For one thing; she hates being called 'hot stuff' and putting an arm around her shoulder resulted with his arm being twisted into an odd angle by said Japanese girl.

"Try pulling that on me one more time and I will send you flying through a closed window!" she snarled, he wouldn't be surprised if steam would come out of her ears.

She stopped her assault when an old dude wearing robes came in with a small kid whose head shaped like a cue ball entered the hall. A small green thing was hanging on the old guys shoulder and was actually talking! Do geckos talk in China?

After that, they became teammates.

Raimundo liked to hang out with Clay; he was a cool guy, a bit odd with his western sayings, but still a pretty great friend. Not to mention his patience for the Shoku warrior's pranks and rebellious acts balanced him out nicely with his calm and creative ways.

Omi was a bit harder to come into terms with. The bald kid has an ego that was bigger than his (and he admits he has a bit of an overconfidence issue) and all the idioms that came out of the dragon of water's mouth was hard to understand, plus he was on the slow side when it comes to street smarts. They're both competitive in various ways but in the end, they're as close as white on rice, Omi even considered him as his brother.

The hardest one to get along with was Kimiko.

The tech-savvy heiress to the Tohomiko business empire was not spoiled as others would have thought. She would get down and dirty (in a good way, not the cheating way) to win a fight and she was (as Clay could have described it) "Stubborn as a mule if you try and pull it across a small river" and she would always try to prove herself since she was a girl in a guy's world. Her biggest fault was her infamous temper. She would snap at any given moment that it scared Jack Spicer in several occasions and even Wuya took a couple of steps back when she literally breathed out flames from her mouth when the Heylin witch made a comment that Kimiko can't even measure up to her curves.

Raimundo made a mental note to not joke about body types around her, but he still thinks she has a killer body; lithe and slender body built, a bit generous chest area that was more of a plus than con since she's a fighter, toned muscles under that baby soft skin and delicate feet that can kick a Jackbot into half.

But lately, he found himself liking Kimiko's face whenever she gets annoyed or mad. Her face would have a pretty red hue on her cheeks, her blue eyes would flash dangerously and her natural raven hair would even float a bit from her power she almost immediately summons whenever she gets angry.

So, it was no secret why he liked teasing, taunting and provoking her. Sure he knows the saying, "If you play with fire, you'll definitely get burned" but he guess that being burned wouldn't be so bad.

"Raimundo!What did you do to my PDA?!" a frustrated yell erupted from the room they all shared. Master Fung who was meditating opened one eye before he sighed and went back to his meditation, already knowing the routine.

"Uh-oh, what did you do to Kimiko's PDA again Rai? Another virus?" Clay asked as he placed another tomato on his sandwich. Dojo, who was hanging on the cowboy's shoulder snorted and scratched his belly, "You're really looking for some beating" he warned.

Raimundo couldn't hide a small smirk growing on his face as Kimiko entered the scene, stomping her way towards the dragon of wind with Omi on tow; holding her PDA and it whispering as if he's talking to it.

"You deleted my data you jerk! Do you know how long it took me to finish Goo Zombies 5?!" she hissed. Omi pressed random buttons in hopes of returning the erased data but as he was clueless about gadgets, he made it even worse; soon the screen just turned black.

He kept a good natured grin which infuriated her more and he held his up in defence, "Relax hot stuff, I can restore the data-"

He dodged a small teacup that was aimed at his face. The porcelain smashed into the wall, breaking into tiny pieces. "I told you... Don't call me that!" she roared. Embers sparked from her hands and her cheeks started to puff up.

'That's cute' he thought to himself before he caught her fist. Her eyes brightened with unbridled anger and her chest rose with the rhythm of her breathing. She pursed her lips and wretched to withdraw her hand only to find he was still holding on to it.

"Let go!" she shouted, throwing her other hand only to be caught by his as well.

"Oh, Kimiko looks as if she's going to blow a circuit!" Omi said, the PDA still in his hands.

"You mean 'blow a fuse' Omi" Clay corrected

"Yes, that too!"

The green dragon shook his head and slithered out of the hall, "I'm not going to clean that mess up!" he yelled.

Raimundo was still holding the thrashing girl when he suddenly threw her on his shoulder. Kimiko squealed and began to hit his back with her hands. Omi and Clay just stared at the scene before them while Master Fung left to the meditation temple to have more 'Fung-time'.

"I'm warning you Pedrosa! Put me down or so help me I will burn you!" she threatened, her feet already kicking him straight on the gut but he can endure it as long as it isn't below the belt.

"I'll let you go if you cool off" he bargained. She let out an exasperated growl before she took deep calming breaths and let her hands and legs go limp. She could almost see Raimundo's face, that smirk on his lips whenever he gets his way and that annoying twinkle in his eye when he had accomplished an intricate prank like the time he switched the language of all her gadgets into Spanish and would only agree to return them to their previous setting if she would do half of his chores and strangely, give him a kiss on the cheek.

Normally she would have punched him so hard he would have flown right into Chase Young's lair but she had an important call to make and she had no choice but to concede.

'Smug little-' she thought in her mind, damn him! Damn his spiky brown hair, his emerald eyes, and the strong yet soft hands that made her feel secure. His lean yet more than capable body and athletic figure that made almost any girl swoon. 'Tch, now I know why Wuya wanted him as a partner' she spat out venomously in her thoughts. Every time they travel to find more Wu, he would waste time flirting and chatting up to giggling girls and it made her grit her teeth for no reason. It was more frustrating to watch than the time he sided with Wuya.

She cringed at the mental image that blinked in her head. Three years ago, Raimundo betrayed them because he was jealous of their success and came running to Wuya. His indifference was hurtful but the worst part of it was; she never fully forgave him.

Sure he did save them from being crushed to death and plunging the world to chaos but was it enough to regain their trust? She would have said no in a heartbeat but seeing their happy faces, especially Omi, she just kept it to herself.

The fire within her would ignite automatically whenever he would do something annoying or just plain frustrating. Heat would explode and course through her veins like pure adrenaline, vicious anger that wants to get out and lash at everyone within its reach and it scared her. So as much as possible, she would try to control it. But with Raimundo, she's failing again and again.

She waited for a few seconds before she felt him lifting her up and brought her to look at him eye to eye. She blinked in confusion but kept her angry face and crossed arms to show that she's still pretty pissed at him. He gave her a smile. Not a smirk, a genuine smile. She sighed in defeat and uncrossed her arms on her side, slightly brushing with his hands that were holding her waist in an iron grip.

"Alright, what do you want?" she grumbled

He looked surprised before he lifted his eyes to the ceiling as if he was choosing options in that rattled brain of his. He then looked at her with a mischievous grin that meant bad news for her.

"I want a date!"

Clay's mouth dropped open and the sandwich fell back on the plate, Omi tilted his head in confusion and Kimiko just stared at him with wide eyes.

"What?" she asked in a dazed voice.

"You and me on a date" he clarified. Seeing her confused face made him want to chuckle but he decided it won't be a good move since her legs can kick him where the sun doesn't shine.

"What, you've never been on a date yet?" he teased.

A vein popped near her temple and in turn, her mouth turned into a smug smirk that mirrored his, "Puh-lease," she drawled, "I've dated guys who're better looking and with better manners than you."

"Uh- I think Omi and I are late for training" Clay chimed in, but the two didn't notice them since they started a staring contest. Omi lifted his head with a large smile on his face, "Training is a very good idea indeed, my friend Clay! I will get to show you my superior moves and agility that is most impressive" his voice became distant as they moved away from the two dragons that were still looking at each other.

Rai frowned at the thought, was she saying the truth or was it a bluff? Kimiko wasn't a type of girl who would throw herself at the sight of a good looking guy but then again, had she really been shopping alone during their free days? The very thought of her having a good time with a stranger, a guy no less, made his blood boil. Still, he won't fall for the bait.

"That so?" he asked in a patronizing tone, "Then you shouldn't have a problem having a dinner with me"

She bit her lip in order to suppress the scream that was already building in her throat. With a deep sigh, she crossed her arms and threw her head to the side and growled, "Fine, but you're paying!"

The Brazilian smiled in victory, it's not the way he wanted to ask her out but then, when did he became a romantic? Besides, she would even punch him if he asked her out in a sappy mushy way that she hates so much. She wasn't into romantics, she likes the term 'what you see is what you get' and he swears she will get what she sees.

"I just hope the restaurant I'm taking you has fire exits and extinguishers" he joked. Kimiko's eye twitch and she lifted her right leg ready for an almighty kick.

-•-

Master Fung who was pouring tea in the hall almost lost his concentration when a loud high-pitched shout erupted from the main temple. He sighed as he continued to pour it in. He then look out to see Kimiko huffing with her hands on her lips and Raimundo barely able to walk and his face twisted in agonizing pain. The 'leader' looked at their teacher who raised a hand, "Remember young monk, one musn't anger a lady for she has a weapon that can bring men to their knees"
