Kai's POV
I embraced my chocolate brown hair colored brother in joy and acknowledged that it was finally over. Our battle with Garmadon, the evil overlord, it was finally all over. We had won! I pulled away from my brother and glanced at Nya who had finally returned from the depths of the darkness that had consumed her. She shook her head in a daze and looked up at us and smiled. I barreled towards her and saw that Jay was doing the same, we all collided in a big hug. Over Nya's shoulder, I saw Cole embrace Zane which brought tears to my eyes because I realized how close we had gotten. I couldn't imagine a day without my brothers and my gaze drifted to the shining sun and I took in the light. I felt whole and had completely fallen into a tornado of thought deep inside my head but I was soon brought back by the gentle nudge on my shoulder. I turned to look at Nya who was gaping at something, I followed her eyes and gasped. Garmadon…but he was… not filled and corrupted with darkness, evil and hate. Lloyd had purified him and by doing so, had made their family complete again. I looked up at Sensei Wu who seemed happy but I knew he had always loved Misako. I gave the guy credit for being happy for his brother; it takes a truly strong soul to do so.
Jay's POV:
"It takes a truly strong soul to do so" Kai had muttered.
Me and Nya were gawking at him with huge, surprised eyes. Since when was Kai so…so…wise. It worried me a little but I pushed it to the back of my head as I continued to stare at the most beautiful woman in the world…silky soft black hair, big cheerful brown eyes, rosy luscious full lips and a smile so breathtaking that it lit up my day, every day! I sighed…Nya…just her name made me all warm and fuzzy inside. My heavenly dreaming was interrupted by Kai as he suggested we go give Cole and Zane big surprise attack noogies. I accepted his idea but promised myself I'd get him back in his sleep for ruining my …..erm…thoughts.
Sensei's POV:
I was attacked, assaulted, invaded and stormed…..
with embraces from my pupils. After everyone was done showing emotion, I proposed we move to the bounty...after we picked up some more tea.
When we got to the bounty, we all sat down and talked for hours. We laughed at how stupid Jay w as at times or how many meals Cole had failed at. We remembered Zane: the indestructible, the undefeatable, the mighty PINK NINJA! Everyone had a good laugh and we even enjoyed a meal Cole had cooked that didn't constantly send us to the bathroom. All is well, everyone is at peace but that didn't mean we could slack off so I decided to make an announcement.
"Everyone, we've had a glorious day today, everything that took place today, took place in our favor, in the favor of the light, the good side"
I stopped and continued when everyone had stopped cheering.
"But that does not mean that we may now do whatever we wish and stop with our training, we will continue training as regularly…."
I stopped and thought to myself for a minute.
Umm…Sensei? Cole asked.
I looked up at him, at everyone and then said:
"But I suppose, tomorrow you may have a free day considering all we've been through today"
Everyone cheered and Cole and Kai even attempted and succeeded to pick me up. A cry escaped my mouth as I asked them to put me down
That evening:
I stared out my window, the stars were beautiful. Everyone was either still talking and laughing in the kitchen or had gone to sleep in their rooms. My four pupils shared a room, Lloyd, Garmadon and Misako shared a room and Nya and I had our own rooms. There were plenty of empty rooms on the bounty. "If only the ninja could find their shugo tenshi and take the next step in their journeys"
*Note: shugo tenshi means "guardian angel" and sensei will give a more detailed explanation in the next chapter or two*
Jay's POV:
I had the perfect idea and I decided to take a big step and just show Nya how I felt about her.
I walked over to Nya who was sitting next to Kai and motioned her over to the side. She nodded her head and rose up from the table and joined me in the kitchen.
"What's up Jay?"
Her sweet, soft melodious voice ringed in my ears and I was about to leave on the express train to my own city of thoughts when Nya's voice brought me back.
"Um….Jay?"
"Huh?" I replied and then I shook my head and said
"Oh um nothing, I just wanted to ask you something that I've been thinking about for awhile now".
I was started to sweat and panic a little.. no you idiot, don't show her your desperate!
"I mean uh, I haven't given it much thought, not that I don't like you, I mean I think about you all the time, I mean….*sigh* Would you like to go out tomorrow?"
Nya blushed and I blushed even harder because seeing her all blushed and cute…ooooh! I wanted to scream like a little schoolgirl! Not that I do that…because manly men like me, do not scream like schoolgirls…we scream like tough girls…yeah..
"Of course Jay, how could I miss out on a evening with you? My favorite ninja…."
She giggled and fled the room all flushed red.
And me? I was going to die. I had planned the perfect evening with Nya and I was super exited! I plopped onto my bed early with a super positive attitude and began reviewing my plans for the evening…I had taken into account all of Nya's favorite restaurants, foods and places. I had even bought her a gift, well gifts. It would be perfect, flawless, magical, majestic! I giggled and squirmed in bed and pretended Nya was with me…
"Nya, darling, I've planned out a perfect evening for us"
"Nya" (which is Jay mocking a girl's voice) : Ohh, Jay, it'll be perfect either way…because I'll be with you..
Oh Nya!
Oh Jay!
Yes it will all work itself out like that! *long sigh* I continued to dance around in my bed and when I turned, my face shrank as I saw all three of my brothers standing in the doorway. Their piercing, weirded out gazes bore right through me, one was a glare so evil, it surpassed Garmadon's! Kai…
"He, he, Hi Kai…" I managed to crack a lopsided smile which didn't aid in the current situation.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough" Kai muttered under his breath in an evil overlord tone.
My hairs stood up in trepidation as I saw the evil overlord walk pass me ( I was on top bunk) and enter into the washroom.
I looked over at Cole who gave me a thumbs up and then at Zane who gave me a reassuring smile.
I could do this.
They both climbed into bed and went to sleep and I anxiously waited for Kai to come out from the washroom.
I heard the light switch in the washroom flick off and I heard the knob turn and I faced my fiery, hot headed brother. (From the top bunk xD)
"So um, Kai, about this um, date"
"You can take her out; just don't hurt her in any way or… I won't finish the sentence so you have good dreams" Kai said before climbing into his bed.
"Thanks Kai" I whispered and I too fell asleep…
Nya's POV:
What do I wear tomorrow?! I have no idea, I hate all my clothes! Nothing is good enough.. It's even too late to go shopping for anything. I know! I'll sneak into the guy's room and ask Jay what time he's taking us out and then see if I have time in the morning to run out and pick something up! But should I really go in there? Um… Yes! I'm desperate.
*At the guy's room*
I softly knocked on the guy's door. I heard Garmadon and Misako laugh in the room next to ours along with Lloyd's loud impression of a monkey. I smiled, they were a family. Cole appeared at the door in shorts and a plain white t-shirt.
"Yes?" he asked while rubbing his eyes. He finally looked up at me and his eyes widened.
"Nya?"
"Yes Cole, it's me, do you happen to know when Jay is taking me out tomorrow?"
"Um, let me go check his "plans" which are in is "journal"" Cole whispered.
The ninja of Earth retreated into the room and soon returned with a book that was the color of royal blue.
"Oh here it is, he's taking you out at 5pm and planning to come home at 10pm."
"Oh, wow. Great! Thank you Cole!"
"No problem, goodnight." Cole said.
"Goodnight Cole, sweet dreams". I smiled as the ninja of Earth nodded his head and went back into the room.
5pm gives me plenty of time to go shopping! Woohoo!
*In Nya's room*
Okay, so wake up 6:30, be ready by 7:30 ask Sensei who will already be meditating if I can quickly drop myself off at Ninjago mall for an hour or so, be back by 9 which is around when the ninja wake up on free days and weekends. Perfect, I thought to myself as I drifted off to sleep.
Hey guys! This is my first chapter, I hope you like it. In the next chapter, Nya will go on her journey to the mall, Jay and Nya's date and a few other things will go on as well as Sensei's explanation about shugo tenshi. PLEASE REVIEW and any suggestions, comments and feelings about this chapter will really help me improve my writing skills!
Thank you so much, I shall update soon!
