Sorry for the extremely long update. I'm not going to say an excuse because I don't have one. I am here now though. Just to refresh your minds, we're in OmiPalooza, and Omi met his parents.

Travened Town - Raimundo's POV

"You. Have. To. Share. With. Me." I grinded out at Clay. "You just have to."

Clay laughed. "I ain't got to do nothin. Besides, Omi already asked me to share a room with him."

"But I can't share one with Kimiko!" I yelled.

"Sure you can. Your room's right next to her's at the temple, it's just like sharing a room here, but without a divider."

This was not working. I needed a different approach. "I'm your leader."

Clay laughed again. This was really getting on my nerves. "I don't have to listen to you when your talkin crazy."

"But...but." I stopped when Cay shut the door in my face.

"Oh thanks Clay, real mature."

Defeated, I walked out of the Inn. What was I supposed to do now?

"THE GREAT CREATURE! HE HAS RETURNED! RUN!" a villager ran by me, screaming.

"Someone please help us," a lady screamed as she followed the previous vullager.

What was going on?

BAM!

Rubbing my head, I got up. "Hey! Watch where you..." I stopped seeing Kimiko push Misha inside the Inn. She was the one who just bashed into me.

"We have problems. Mala Mala Jong is here."

"WHAT! But, the Wu, it's all in are bags."

"Well, I know that. But we have to do something. It's destroying the town."

"I'll get Omi and Clay," I said turning to the door of the Inn.

Kimiko grabbed my arm, sending tons of emotion my way, but I couldn't acknowledge them now. "There's no time! It's already in the main square!"

"But the Wu..." I trailed off.

"You were made Shoku warrior for a reason. You don't need Wu. I don't have time to argue with you either." Turning, she ran in the direction of the turmoil.

Sighing, I ran after her. She was going to be the death of me. I ran past countless people, all screaming like it was the end of the world. Was this the creature that Omi's parent's mentioned? I saw sight of Kimiko, using her Wudai Fire Shield when Mala Mala Jong tried to hit her with the third arm sash. Going to the opposite side of Kimiko, I watched the monster carefully. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Omi and Clay arrive. With a bag. Of Sheng gong Wu.

"We came here as fast as we could."

"We brought the Wu." Omi chimed in.

I smacked my head. "No, we can't use the –"

I was cut off by a punch from Mala Jong.

"GLOVBE ODF JISACQUE." (AN: yes I know all thats spelled wrong, its supposed to be Mala talking.)

All of our eyes were on the Wu bag, as it rose from Omi's hands into the air. Wu flew out of it, each taking position on the monster.

"Good job guys." I said to them.

"This is going to get worse before it gets better." Kimiko yelled at the three of us.

"Um, guys, can't we just use the Serpents Tail and the Golden Tiger Claws, like before?" Clay asked, dodging a lighting bolt.

"Do we even have the Tail?" Kimiko asked, sending a death glare at Omi and Clay for bringing the Wu bag.

"Um, no. Mala Mala Jong does, and he has the Claw too." I said carefully, trying to keep my attention on the Wu'd monster.

"Like that will help." Kimiko yelled. "We need to get them back."

I nodded. "All of you, we need to put our attacks, all at the same time, to where the Serpents Tail and the Golden Tiger Claws are. Omi, Clay, you take the Claws, Kimiko and I got the Tail. But first, WUDAI ORION FORMATION!"

Getting into position, we built our Chi.

"GO!" I yelled.

I pulled all my power into my attack on the Tail. I could tell Kimiko did the same. After repeated pounding it fell off, into my hands. At the same time, the Claw landed into my arms too.

"GO!" All three of them yelled at me.

"Me?" I asked.

"Go!" Kimiko yelled at me, I could see the pleading in her eyes.

"S–Serpents Tail!" I yelled, pointing it at Mala Mala Jong.

I went right through him. What was I supposed to do? Landing on the ground, I looked fo instruction. I wasn't there when they beat Mala Mala Jong. What could I do? Just then, I got tackled, onto the ground. This was not a good day. This is the third time I've been on the ground in an hour. Kim landed on top of me, and once again, she was up before it could be considered a awkward moment. I watched as she dived into the ground. Looking around, I waited for something, anything to happen.

"Golden Tiger Claws," I heard Kimiko yelled, but I didn't see her.

She came out of the monster, landing with one leg bent into a victors position.( think when Omi dropped Kim's PDA and she grabbed it.) Mala Mala Jong disappeared and Wu fell around Kimiko. Then she rose her head. "Heylin 0, Xiaolin 2."

Later - Kimiko's POV

I had just finished saying your welcome to all the villagers as they came to thank us for beating the Great Creature, that had previously destroyed their village. Yes, I get it already. Walking back into the Inn, I went into the main room. "What a day," I said plopping onto a couch next to Omi and Clay.

"Agreed." Clay said.

"Kimiko, Kimiko, you severely trounced on Mala Mala Jong's backside!" Omi said, hopping in his seat on the couch.

I feigned being touched. "Why thank you Omi."

"Has Rai complained to you yet?" Clay asked.

"About what?" I asked.

"Do you mean defeating Mala Mala Jong, or that he is sharing a room with our Kimiko?" Omi asked.

"I'm sharing a room with him!," I shouted.

"Well, yeah. Me and Omi have the other one."

"Why didn't you talk this over with me first." I asked.

Clay laughed. "You sound like Raimundo."

"And what about beating Mala Jong?"

"Well, he's bound to be jealous."

I rolled my eyes. "What is it with guys and being so damn egotistical?"

Omi shook his head. "Kimiko, what is this egotistical?"

I shook my head. I didn't feel like educating right now. At that moment, Raimundo walked in.

"Hey guys, whats up."

"Go ahead Raimundo, explain it to Omi." I said, walking pridefully out of the room. Walking into my room, I dug into my knapsack until I found what I was looking for. Volume 10 of Fruits Basket. In less then 30 minutes, I read all the way through and stopped when Yuki started talking to Tohru in the woods. Because Raimundo walked in.

"Hey Kim, what was with before."

"Sh!" I hissed at him. This is getting really good." Turning back to my book, I started reading again. I read as Yuki continued to talk almost poetically to Tohru. I could tell Raimundo was looking at me, but I tried to ignore him. Reading the last line...I love you. I couldn't helped it. "Awww." I said.

"Thats so cute."

"What," Raimundo said looking at me weird.

I put the book carefully into my knapsack.

He wouldn't understand.
