Yes, it's back. After orignially submitting this last summer, I've decided to start it up again. Last time, it had a solid 10 vote rating of 5 stars. I can only hope this time will be the same...

RAKRN stands for Raimundo and Kimiko Romance Novel. I also like to call it Brushfireshipping or Embershipping. ^_^

Summary: After a near-death experince in a Xiaolin Showdown, Raimundo decides to express his true feelings for Kimiko.

Rating: PG (Some material may not be suittable for children.)

Disclaimer: I don't own Xiaolin Showdown. ;-; If I did, this shipping would be canon. >_>

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Part I: At First
Chapter 1 - The Beginning (2/25/06)
NEW - Chapter 2 - Ready, Set, Go! (3/3/06)

~~~~~Chapter 1~~~~~
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.

Yep. Read and Review, please. I'll try and get Chapter 2 up soon.

All right, I am the first to review. *does the victory dance* XD

A very nice start indeed, D-Kun. The description is done nicely and the plot is moving smoothly.

Rai's having feelings for Kimiko! <3 They're very cute as a couple. *grins* Their relationship could be very interesting. ^_^

Anyway, keep it up. And always aim higher! =D

Wind Waker: Thank you. ^^ Glad to see an old reader.

And just for kicks, I'm putting up Chapter Two.

NOTES: Nothing special here. Just a semi-introduction to the main plot or something...

~~~~~Chapter 2~~~~~
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.

“Judiallei 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.

Okay, nothing else to say.
