A/N: Hello! Welcome back to Back in my days! If you are just joining us, please read the first… four books to understand some things that most likely will be mentioned.

This chapter will have quite a few flashbacks that the books don't necessarily cover. And thanks goes to Stormy for pointing out that I need to make Nya sick one of these times…and then I realized that technically I had not made anyone that wasn't Kai sick yet.

Disclaimer: I own Nothing! Except for any OC name drops that might happen…and Koko!

Prologue: Recalling times someone other than Kai was sick…

I fidgeted as I stared down at Nya's still, sickly form. Sweat beaded her forehead as a loud cough escaped her. Lifting the wet rag in my hand up, I pressed it against her burning forehead. The door to the bedroom creaked open as someone walked into the room.

"Kai? Zane says lunch is ready and with your tendency to get sick he doesn't think you should be the one to tend to Nya." Jay placed his hand on my shoulder, drawing my attention.

"But…"

"No buts. We know she's your sister. You just appear to have a really weak immune system compared to the rest of us." Jay rolled his eyes as he glanced over at the door.

I glanced back to see Cole leaning against the doorway. Shrugging, he smirked to himself. "Jay has a point… you get sick rather easily."

I lifted my shoulders up in a half shrug. "I've always have had a weak immune system. I can't really recall a time that Nya was sick… she has a much stronger immune system than me."

Jay suddenly rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look on his face. "Remember that time right after we had found the golden weapons, when Cole got sick?"

I immediately sniggered while the master of earth stammered, at a loss for words.

~Flash Back~

"Cole! Come on! Sensei wants to talk to us!" I walked into the bedroom that I shared with my new teammates, relaxed as if nothing were wrong.

"Comin'!" Cole groaned from his bed as he pushed himself upright.

I immediately frowned as I looked at his paler than normal skin. "You feeling ok Cole?"

Cole coughed hard as he nodded his head in the affirmative. "I'm fi…" he never did finish the sentence, fainting before he could do so.

"Zane! Come quick! Something's wrong with Cole!" I hollered as I rushed forward to touch his clammy, way too warm skin.

~End Flash Back~

I giggled as I slipped into my seat. Zane peered over at me, clearly trying to figure out what was going on here. "Am I missing something here?"

Cole shook his head, a wry smile tugging on his face. "Not really. Kai and Jay were just reflecting on the one time I was sick." Lowering his head, he continued, a smirk crossing his face. "Of course, that just reminds me of the time when Jay was ill… who know? Right after the kid moved in the first time?"

Jay growled at that, turning a bright red.

~Flash Back~

I sliced the dummy in half, twisting around to flip my sword up to the sky. Zane was looking over a large binder full of strategies, while Cole was punching the punching bag.

"Where's Jay? He's running late." Cole sent the heavy bag flying upwards to the ceiling.

"Guys?" Jay suddenly wandered into the room, holding his stomach. "I don't feel very good…" Jay then suddenly fell to the ground, retching.

Zane frowned as he eyed the ill teen. "I believe you need to go back to bed, Jay."

Jay merely groaned, too exhausted to actually move.

~End of Flash Back~

Jay rolled his eyes, arms folded. "Ok, ok. I get it. I was a terrible patient. At least I didn't get as bad as Kai. We never had to call the doctor to see what was wrong."

Sensei was deep in his mug of tea, a smile quirking the corners of his lips. Misako frowned, concern crossing her face that Jay had apparently thrown up in the training room one day. I rolled my eyes skyward, scoffing at the obvious jab at me. "Yeah? Well, what about that time when Zane was ill right after we found out that he was a robot?"

Sensei and Lloyd quickly snapped their heads up to peer over at the nindroid, who merely shrugged. "I don't remember being ill."

Cole rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look flashing across his face. "I should have known that you and Nya knew each other…you were downright fuming over the fact Jay and Nya were teamed up without anyone else."

"Wait…what!?" Jay yelped, staring round eyed at the master of fire.

~Flash Back~

I couldn't find Zane anywhere. Shaking my head, I turned to face Cole. "I still haven't found him. Are you sure you had seen him come this way?"

Cole groaned, running his hand through his hair. "I'm positive. Ugh. Maybe Jay and Nya are having better luck finding him." I frowned, not sure I liked the idea of the love sick couple being alone together. Cole glanced over at me, and immediately laughed. "Dude… you obsess over her love life as if she were your sister."

I froze; opening and closing my mouth multiple times at a loss of words after THAT statement. Huffing, I turned abruptly marching off stiffly. "Come on, we need to find…" I tripped over something lying on the ground, quickly twisting around to look to see what it was. My mouth went dry as I looked down at the still figure. "Zane! Cole, quick help me!" I grabbed the newly discovered nindroid's head, attempting to lift him up.

Cole fell down next to us, quickly scooping Zane up and slinging him over his shoulder. "Get Jay and Nya. I'm not too good with robotics, but I know that the only way for one to get sick is if they get a computer virus. We're gonna need them to build an antivirus."

~End of Flash Back~

Zane nervously glanced over at Jay. "Were you able to get me better?"

Jay quickly nodded; a smile on his face. "Yeah…it was mainly Nya though. I was more like the blundering assistant."

"I see." Zane still looked disconcerted that he had immediately had passed out and had all of us searching for him. Or maybe he was concerned that I had tripped over him.

Misako glanced over at Lloyd, and then turned to face me, wiping Koko's face clean with a rag. "What about Lloyd? Do you have any stories about my son being ill?"

"Oh, do we!" Jay, Cole, Zane, and I all chorused together as we grinned manically. Sensei and Lloyd both paled, soft oh no's escaping them.

~Flash Back~

I flipped over Jay, landing perfectly behind him, my sword poised at his neck. Jay rolled his eyes at me, his hands lifting up into surrender. A chuckle escaped Zane has he supervised us, Cole humming some song under his breath as he sat next to him.

Looking over at the clock on the far wall, Cole suddenly frowned. "I wonder what's taking Sensei and Lloyd so long to get here. They're late."

"Can we still call him the kid? I mean…technically he is still younger than us." I questioned, still in the process of wrapping my mind around what had happened just a few short hours earlier.

Cole crossed his arms, huffing. "Yeah, sure. We can do that long as he doesn't get annoyed with us."

Zane stretched as he stood up, walking to the door. "I'm going to go look for them."

I quickly put my sword away, hurrying after him. "I'll come with."

…

Jay flung his arm out suddenly, stopping us in our tracks. Well, the others stopped in their tracks…I didn't see it until I walked into him. "Do you guys here that?"

Tilting my head to the side, I listened intently and soon heard it, a low pitiful moaning sound coming from our bedroom. Bewildered, we charged off to the room. Flinging the door open, we peered inside to find a now teenager Lloyd sitting on his bed, holding his stomach.

Zane walked over and gently placed a hand on his forehead. "You're burning up. Would you like me to get you some fever reducer?"

Lloyd responded by moaning again. Jay quirked his eyebrow up as he looked at the ill boy. "What are you? A zombie?"

I immediately was confused and turned around to ask him what that was, when Lloyd nodded his head yes, still moaning. "Ok…what is a zombie?"

"Living dead basically. Typically they eat brains… Kai? Lloyd isn't a zombie… you don't have to back away from him!" Cole pinched the bridge of his nose out of annoyance, noticing that I was edging my way out of the room.

Zane shook his head at us, before heading to the bathroom. "Some fever reducer should help you feel better Lloyd. The rest of you go find Sensei."

"On it Zane." We hurried out of the room, not wanting to catch whatever it was that Lloyd had.

…

"Sensei?! You're favorite nephew is sick!" I hollered as I knocked briefly on his door.

Alarm shot through me when the door flung open to show a pale Sensei with a crazy smile on his face. "Look! It's the fluffy dragon of the west!" Sensei then flung his arms around me, giggling.

"Umm, help!" I glanced over at my two teammates…both of whom were sniggering at my dilemma.

I glared at them, which immediately made Jay shut up. Walking up to me, he quickly pulled Sensei off. "Come on Sensei…that's Kai. Remember? Whoa. You're warm."

Sensei giggled, before attempting to skip off, humming some strange tune. Cole flung his arm out, catching him. "Do we have a volunteer to get Zane?"

I nodded quickly, already deciding that compared to this, I much rather be near zombie Lloyd. Sprinting down the hall, I went back to our room to tell Zane he had two patients. And one of them was in a hugging mood.

~End of Flash Back~

Misako rubbed her forehead, giving her son and brother-in-law a withering look. "You two were delusional, weren't you?"

"Yes…" Sensei and Lloyd ducked their heads in shame.

Misako chuckled, before turning to me. "What about you? Do you have any interesting stories about when you were sick?"

I sprang up out of my seat immediately, tapping my head quickly. "What do you know, Nya's calling. Bye!" I bolted out of the room even as Jay yelled at me, demanding to know whether or not Nya actually was calling me, or if I was just saying that.

I was just saying that, but I wasn't going to let him know that!

A/N: Done! Sorry, would have finished it yesterday but my older sister had arrived with her kids….and one of them is a really cute one almost two year old. As stated earlier, this is just flashbacks about different ninja, and Sensei! Being ill instead of Kai.

Review!
