Xiaolin Showdown: Winds of Change (RAKRN; PG)

Cap D. Blue

ボルトチェンジ
RAKRN stands for Raimundo and Kimiko Romance Novel. I originally posted it in the Summer of 2005. But now I'm reposting it in time for the 2006 Shipping Oscars.

Summary: After a starling experience, Raimundo decides to tell Kimiko how he really feels.

Rating: PG

Disclaimer: I do not own Xiaolin Showdown. If I did, Raimundo and Kimiko would be dating by now.

~~~~~Chapter 1 - The Beginning~~~~~
Xiaolin Temple. Home and training place of the four Xiaolin Dragons, warriors of the four elements; Water, Wind, Earth and Fire. It is their duty to collect magical items called Shen Gon Wu, and keep them away from the forces of evil.

Our story today focuses on the Xiaolin Dragon of Wind, named Raimundo. Raimundo comes from the country of Brazil from a family of circus performers. Yet, Raimundo has had a troubled past. After failing to reach Apprenticeship, he joined the Heylin side, working for the evil witch Wuya. However, Raimundo was able to overcome his dark side and trap Wuya in a puzzle box. He until recently was able to join his friends as a Xiaolin Apprentice.

Raimundo sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed. He wasn't meditating, if you could call it that. Raimundo was studying, if you call it that. Rai (as his friends call him) was re-reading the facts he had learned in his studies.

Of course, no reward came without a price. Rai kept hearing a very irritating noise; Scritch scratch. Scritch scratch. One green eye opened. Nothing. Wait...he had heard this before. Standing up, Rai waited until he could tell where he was. Two...one...POW!

"Hey!" rang a voice.

Rai grinned with satisfaction.

Short, yellow and bald, Omi appeared out of thin air, holding the Shroud of Shadows in his right hand. "How did you know...?" he asked, rubbing where his nose should be with his left hand.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again;" replied Rai. "It's the Shroud of Shadows, not Silence."

The Xiaolin Dragon of Water paused, trying to find the right thing to say. "I was just...uh....testing you." he said with a large grin.

"Right." Rai sweatdropped. He knew Omi was not exactly the person to admit that he had made a mistake.

Omi started to walk away, Shroud still in hand. He stopped halfway out of the room, then turned back. "I'm not sure if I should tell you this, but Kimiko is looking for you." he said, rubbing his chin.
Rai's stomach did a backflip. Kimiko was the dragon of Fire. Her hairstyle changed daily, yet her temper stayed the same; short and high-risk. Yet, Rai had begun to develop feelings for her, and found it harder to hide them each passing day. "Thanks, little dude."

"No problem." replied Omi, and disappeared with the Shroud.

Rai figured that he should go look for Kimiko. After all, he hated sneak attacks.

Outside...
Dojo the dragon waited patiently for the Xiaolin Dragons in training. A new Shen Gon Wu had revealed itself, and it was only a matter of time before Jack Spicer, evil boy genius, was able to find it. Clay, Xiaolin Dragon of Earth, was the first to arrive. His usual “nine-gallon” hat was perched atop his head.

“So, what’s the new Shen Gon Wu?” he asked in his Texan drawl.

Dojo raised a finger. “Ah! I can’t tell you until everyone is here.”

Omi landed next to Clay. He had safely placed the Shroud of Shadows back in the Shen Gon Wu Vault, since he did not want another punch in the face. He noticed Clay had started whittling a cow out of a block of wood. Omi had always been fascinated by Clay’s craftsmanship, so he sat down and watched.
~~~~~
Rai, on the other hand, began to explore the Xiaolin Temple for Kimiko. He moved cautiously, since he didn’t want Kimiko to sneak up behind him. “Where could she be?” he spoke to no one in particular.

“I believe Kimiko is outside.” said a calm voice.

Rai spun around to find Master Fung behind him. The Xiaolin Master taught Rai and his friends about fighting techniques and life lessons. Rai had not really appreciated how Master Fung taught these lessons, but they came in handy once in a while.

“Uh...thanks Master Fung.” said Rai, rather confused why Omi would say Kimiko was looking for him. He turned and ran outside to find his friends.
~~~~~
Once Rai had noticed his friends (which was pretty easy, considering the size ratio between Clay and the others), he slid in line next to Kimiko as Dojo explained the new Shen Gon Wu.

“It’s called the Icicle Vortex. It allows the user to summon up a blizzard and freeze the opponent.”

“Well, that might be somewhat useful,”mused Rai. “Seeing as Kimiko here might melt it.”

Kimiko glanced at him, looking rather angered. Rai could only grin and hope he didn’t blush.

“Well, let’s go and get it then.” said Omi, pretending nothing was happening to his left.

Dojo nodded and expanding to his 40-foot form. The four Xiaolin Dragons hopped on the dragon’s back, and off they flew.
~~~~~End Chapter~~~~~

Hope you enjoy it. :) I've seen a few Xiaolin Showdown fans here, so if you're reading this... review, please.

Come along, dear
First Post!

Yeah, it seems good so far, glad someone made a Rai/Kimiko fic. I'm hoping they'll be longer in the future :D , but it seems good. Nice idea for a Shen-Gong-Wu.

I like it. It could be called StreetShipping if it was an Anime, but whatever! Your descriptions are kind of short, but maybe that's because all of the things that happen so far are the ordinary, right? I think that you're going to be able to take this far, especially with a show that everyone loves for the sake that it's so cool. A good tip that you probably already know is to not jump the love between Kimiko and Raimundo right away, okay?

Yeah, sorry to double post (I might do this often when I post new chapters), but here's Chapter 2.

~~~~~Chapter 2: Ready, Set, Go!~~~~~

Although the Xiaolin Dragons were on their way, Jack Spicer had reached the location on the Icicle Vortex first. Jack planned on ruling the world, but first he had to defeat those Xiaolin Losers. Wait...is that Dojo?
~~~~~
Dojo landed, and once the Xiaolin Quad had jumped off him, Dojo began itching like crazy. “Blast this Shen Gon Wu Rash! You guys better find that Wu soon, or I’m gonna be nothing but one giant-”

“Yeah, too much information.” cringed Kimiko. She disliked it when Dojo explained his body functions in detail.

Omi pointed up to a small mountain up ahead. “I believe we have company.”

His friends turned to see Jack standing there.

“Hey Xiao-Lame-os!” he taunted. “You want the Wu? Well, you’re gonna have to beat me to it!”

“Jack Spicer, you taunting will not work!” said Omi.

“Oh, yeah?” asked Jack. He pressed a button on his wristband. “Jack-Bots, attack!”

A swarm of floating robots flew down to attack, but the Xiaolin Warriors were ready.

When the first few robots tried to attack Omi, nine dots glowed on his forehead. “Tornado Strike, Water!” He spun like a top, and water from the river flowing nearby surrounded him. Omi moved wildly, smashing Jack-bots as he went.

Clay had his own Signature Attack; “Seismic Kick, Earth!” Slamming his foot into the ground, a wall of rock and dirt rose up, and the Jack-bots collided into it, with a huge explosion.

“Typhoon Boom, Wind!” Smashing his hands together, Rai was able to send a spout of wind at the Jack-bots, tossing them around like rag dolls.

“Judolette Flip, Fire!”Kimiko was able to create fire around her arms, then flung it in the form of fireballs at the remaining robots.

“Jack’s getting away!” cried Dojo.

“I got it.” said Kimiko. Pulling out the Tongue of Saiping, she was able to communicate with animals. “Eagle, carry!”

A bald eagle, flying around, minding his own business, suddenly dove down, and Kimiko leapt on it’s back. The eagle followed Jack towards the Icicle Vortex. When Jack was about to claim the Wu, Kimiko touched it. The Shen Gon Wu glowed, indicating a Xiaolin Showdown.

“Kimiko, I challenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!”

“Name your game, Jack!”

“Classic Battle Royal. Whoever falls off the main platform first, loses.”

“Deal!”

“I wager my Fist of Tebigong against your Tongue of Saiping.”

“Let’s go! Xiaolin Showdown!” shouted Kimiko and Jack in unison.

The ground shook and rumbled, and began to change form. A Xiaolin Showdown was about to undergo, one that would change the lives of two Xiaolin Dragons forever.
~~~~~End Chapter~~~~~
Enjoy, and review. :)

qwerqwer: Ya know, this is my fic. I can put up the new chapters whenever I want. I just don't want to double-post all the time. :rolleyes: You want to read it all? Search for this at fanfiction.net.

~~~~~Chapter 3: Showdown & Kiss~~~~~

The ground rose up into a platform, but not completely detached from ground level. Kimiko and the other Xiaolin Dragons were dressed in a ninja-like clothing, with symbols matching their elements.

“Gon Ye Tempai!” cried Kimiko and Jack. The showdown had begun.

“Do ya think Kimiko stands a chance?” asked Clay.

“If she can figure out what animal to call with the Tongue of Saiping.” replied Omi.

Rai stayed silent. He could tell Jack was up to something. But what was it?

“Fist of Tebigong!” Jack tried to punch Kimiko, but she easily sidestepped.

“I’d like you to meet a friend of mine, Jack.” Speaking into the Tongue, Kimiko called for a nearby grizzly bear. The bear reared up on it’s hind legs and began its assault on Jack.

“AAAAAAAA!” screamed Jack, completely forgetting about the Fist of Tebigong. He ran for his life, with the bear giving chase. This went on for about three minutes.

The Xiaolin Dragons were laughing so hard they cried.

Wait a minute, thought Jack. Why am I running from this giant furball when I can just attack Kimiko? He turned so he was running straight towards his opponent.

“Kimiko, watch out!” called Rai.

“Huh?” Kimiko turned back to the field just in time to see Jack slamming the Fist of Tebigong into the ground, creating a giant fissure.

“Uh-oh.” muttered Kimiko. Her mind froze as the fissure headed towards her, and swallowed her up.

“KIMIKO!” cried Rai. Without thinking, he pulled out a golden sword-like Shen Gon Wu. “Sword of the Storm, Wind!” Spinning the Wu rapidly, a large spout of wind rocketed Rai forward and into the fissure.

“Rai’s gone insane!” remarked Clay. Why would Rai risk his life for...oh, now it made sense.

Rai continued to fly forward until he spotted Kimiko. The Tongue of Saiping wasn’t in her hands, so Rai figured she dropped it before she fell. Using his free hand, Rai grabbed Kimiko’s hand.

“Hunh?...Rai?”

“Kimiko, it’s gonna be okay...” Rai paused, realizing he was reassuring himself as much as her. Twisting his body around, he made it so the wind from the Sword of the Storm to bring him and Kimiko out.

Omi was crestfallen. First they had lost the showdown, now two of his friends? He was so busy contemplating this, that he didn’t notice Jack fly away with the Fist of Tebigong, Icicle Vortex and the Tongue of Saiping.

Clay was completely silent. He pulled his cowboy hat over his eyes, so no one could see the tear rolling down his face.

Dojo’s jaw dropped. He knew Jack would do anything for world domination, but trying to get rid of Kimiko like that?

“What now?” asked Omi finally.

“I don’t know.” replied Dojo.

“Guys...” said Clay, trying to get their attention.

“I think we should go to Master Fung.” said Omi.

“GUYS...” said Clay firmly.

Kimiko cringed slightly. When was the sunlight that bright? “Rai?” she asked.

Rai landed on solid ground, a good distance away from the fissure. “Kimiko, are you okay?”

Kimiko did not reply at once. “Rai...you saved me.” Before Rai could do anything else, Kimiko gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Thanks.”

Rai slowly placed his hand where Kimiko had kissed him. Still tingling. Rai shook himself out of it, and decided to take Kimiko back to Omi, Clay and Dojo.
