''Demon of Wind'' is an AlternateUniverseFic in the XiaolinShowdown archives. In it, the Xiaolin Dragon Raimundo Pedrosa does not exist. To accompany the remaining three warriors, there's Rai: A snarky wind demon with a sense of humor not unlike his canon counterpart.
The fic opens with Kimiko putting away the Sheng Gon Wu that their team used for their latest battle against evil. She accidentally drops the Mantis Flip Coin, finds a tunnel beneath the temple, and comes across a chamber that holds a stone statue of a boy with a spear in his chest. Feeling some pity for the boy, she removes the weapon from him before heading back up to ground level. With the Spear of Dashi taken away, Wuya's apprentice Rai is free and breathing again after fifteen hundred years. Everything just snowballs from there, following some of the show's storyline while still managing to hold up an original backstory and plot.
The fic itself is completed, boasting thirty-one chapters and over one hundred thousand words. Some grammatical errors are nigh, but they can easily be looked over. Start [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3632533/1/Demon-of-Wind here]].

!!This fanfic provides examples of:
* AngerBornOfWorry: Rai fakes being killed by a paper talisman. Kimiko is not amused.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Kimiko and Rai, of course.
* BigBadEnsemble: Just about every villain in the series makes an appearance, plus some original ones. (Though the Cleansers being big bads [[YourMileageMayVary depends on your point of view.]])
* BigBrotherInstinct: Clay to Kimiko, for obvious reasons. In the side story ''Life as a Good Guy'', however, Clay remarks that he has little reason to think about kicking Rai's ass - If he ever hurt her, Kimiko would probably make sure there was nothing left of the demon for him to hurt.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Chapter 21 in its entirety, apparently. It's even titled with the acronym ''BLAM''.
* BlowYouAway: Who do you think?
* BluntMetaphorsTrauma: Omi. Rai eventually gets fed up with him and calls him out on it.

* LimitedWardrobe: Averted with Kimiko and Rai. Rai's Heylin robes can alter at his will and take on the appearance of any clothing he thinks of.

* NoodleIncident: An incident with the emperor's daughter is mentioned a few times before we get an explanation.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Clay sees Rai pretty much straddling Kimiko as she's waking up. Rai doesn't seem to care.
* {{Omniglot}}: Due to past divine intervention, Rai can automatically understand any language given. This ability turns on and off briefly when he [[spoiler: turns human again.]]
* OnlyOneName: And technically, Rai is a nickname a priestess gave him. He claims he doesn't remember what his real name was.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: ''"Get out of our temple."''
* TalkingToThemself: Rai has multiple conversations with his thoughts throughout the course of the story. They're usually between himself, "clone Rai", and "young Rai".
* RefugeInAudacity: Rai blatantly barges in on Kimiko while she's changing, points out which of her outfits suits her better, and walks away. Kimiko is startled but realizes she must be hallucinating, since Rai would never do something like that unless he had a death wish. Rai even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this.
--> "Ah, refuge in audacity. How I love thee."
* RousingSpeech: Of the menial variety. Rai helps Jack get back into his game by convincing him that he really is evil since he won't beat up someone as pathetic as the boy genius. When Jack is hyped up again, Rai proceeds to punch him out and deliver him to a hospital with a note saying that he was punched by "natural causes".
