I'm sorry to hear that happen bro, but Kimiko has been guilty of actions like this before. This is all stuff I've heard through the grapevine, so some of it might be innacurate. But judging from the situation you described, it seems to fit the bill.
I've heard that Kimiko had once stolen items from U-clan back in the day, I forgot the exact details.
In addition, he had taken two god drops off of Wasp during a god run. Nobody had really said anything, but I found it unusual for him to take those items when he had only been in the shell for a couple weeks. It didn't really bother me much in the beginning, but then he left Wasp to rejoin Xtreme a short time after.
I don't know about anyone else, but if a LS was gracious enough to let me have two god drops right off the bat, I'd remain pretty loyal to show my gratitude.
Anyway, some time later Wasp was in the middle of a pop-item hunt when we encountered Kimiko who was up there on behalf of Xtreme. There wasn't any conflict, Wasp had pressed on with it's business. However, I saw an old friend with Xtreme, and I had told him about what had happened when Kim was with Wasp. Shortly after, Kimiko had been kicked from Xtreme. Go figure eh? My friend had noticed how suspicious it was when Kim saw Wasp and had to leave out of the blue.
Now, most of what I said might not be entirely accurate. But from what AGM is describing, it definately fits Kimiko's M.O.
As far as your relations with Rico goes, I suggest you guys should talk it out. Your friendship isn't worth falling apart over something like Kimiko.
