Kai's POVMorning.
It's the middle of the spring time and the sun was shining bright. So bright, that the light was glaring through my curtains.
It was about 5:30 or six in the morning, so obviously I was still asleep, along with the other guys.
Then suddenly, a loud noise interrupted the silence. It was the alarm clock.
We all groaned and kept the pillows above our heads. After about 2 minutes, the clock clicked off. First, I thought Lloyd used his powers to turn it off, but again it would've made a big hole in the wall. I look up from under my pillow to see it was my sister, Nya.
"Rise and shine, boys," Nya said cheerfully, "I made you all some breakfast."
"Nya?" I asked dryly, "What are you doing here? Where's Master Wu?"
"Wu and Misako are out of town for some reason, something personal I think, but for now they put me in charge."
"What?!" Jay choked.
"Oh no..." I moaned.
"Oh yeah!" Nya cheered, "You five have to do what I say until they get back. So move your molasses otherwise your food will get cold!"
"So?"
"Who wants cold and soggy waffles for breakfast?"
"Not me!" Jay leaped out of his bed then ran out. Lloyd, Zane and Cole did the same thing.
"What are you waiting for Kai?" Nya asked me, "The whole world is waiting for you."
"Not hungry," I said as I walked out of the room.
I took out my phone to see if anymore fangirls tried to hack into my Chirper account, but then a text message showed up on my screen. I looked at it and saw the name.
It was Skylor, my girlfriend.
I haven't heard from her in weeks and now she texts me? My heart fluttered so much that I almost passed out.
Her text said: Come outside after breakfast. I have a surprise for you.
I didn't know what she meant by that, but I just texted her okay then sat with the others.
"What took you so long?" Lloyd muffled, since his face was dripping with syrup.
"Nothing," I replied, "Skylor just sent a text that she's gonna have a surprise for us."
"Strange," Zane said, "I haven't heard from her in awhile, and now she's coming to the Bounty?"
"That's what she said."
"Cool," Jay smiled, "It's been awhile that we had an actual visitor. Maybe we can get the day off, right Cole?"
I looked over to Cole. He was picking at his food with a fork. I noticed that he looked depressed. He didn't even pay attention to us.
"Right Cole?" Jay repeated.
He still didn't answer. He continued to play with his food. I was beginning to worry.
"Cole?"
This time, Cole looked up at Jay. He still had that same look on his face. He dropped his fork then waited for Jay to speak.
"I said wouldn't it be nice to have the day off from Nya?" Jay asked.
"Oh yeah, that sounds fantastic," Cole said sarcastically.
I stopped chewing my food. Something was wrong. Jay gave him a puzzled look then began eating his food again.
"Eesh, Jay just asked you a simple question," Lloyd said, "Is everything okay?"
"Nothing's wrong, just tired," Cole said a bit off
Just in, Nya entered the room. She sat down next to me and digged into her food.
"So today for training I was thinking of something we haven't done in awhile," Nya said while cutting her waffles.
"What's that?" I asked.
"We can practice on each other, like a game. Whoever wins doesn't have to clean around the ship. It rained really hard last night and now there's junk everywhere."
"Sounds like fun," Zane replied.
"I'm in," Lloyd said.
Jay groans, "I really don't feel like cleaning right now."
"Alright then, let's get ready when we're done eating," Nya sat up, "And by the way, don't use your RX powers, Cole, that would be considered cheating."
Cole rolled his eyes then got up to throw his plate away.
I didn't really like cleaning either. I mean, I'm a ninja, not a maid. I fight crime, not clean a bunch of dirty dishes, especially ones with Cole's disgusting chili.
Anywho, I went upstairs to change into my ninja suit. The others did the same.
Let's hope I don't lose, otherwise I'll smell like a moldy crumb cake for a week.
***********
For the month of April, it was pretty hot out. Probably because we're up in the sky near the sun.
Anyway, Jay and Zane were against each other. I sat with Skylor and watched the fight.
From the looks of it, it seemed that Zane was winning, but then Jay shocked him then started to malfunction a bit.
"Winner is Jay!" Nya announced.
Jay broke into his happy dance. Skylor and I started to laugh. Nya, Lloyd and Zane started laughing too.
I looked around for Cole then saw him sitting all by himself. He had ear buds on and just stared out into the sky.
"What's with him?" Skylor pointed over to Cole, "I thought he hated being a ghost."
"I don't know what's wrong with him," I replied, "He's been like that ever since this morning. Something's must be wrong."
"Maybe you should talk to him, you know, to see what's up."
"I don't know, Skylor. It looks like he doesn't wanna be bothered right now."
"Don't you see? That's what Cole wants to happen. He's a brother to you remember? You're suppose to be there for one another am I right?"
I sighed, "I guess so. But I'm telling ya, he's not gonna like it."
Skylor giggled then kissed my cheek. I got up then stood next to Cole. He continued to stare out into the sky.
"Hey," I said.
He didn't answer me. Probably because he has those stupid ear buds on.
I tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped then stared at me. His eyes were a bit more dull than usual. He took out his right ear bud.
"What do you want?" Cole asked emotionless.
"I just wanna know what's up. Did somebody die or something?"
Cole shook his head then sighed, "I don't wanna talk about it."
"Come on, man. Everybody's worried about you. You've been depressed all day. Obviously something is wrong."
"Dude, everything is fine. Just get off my back."
"You're not fine. I know you too well. I won't tell anyone."
"I not gonna tell you anything! It's none of your business. Just go away!"
"But-"
"NOW!!"
Cole violently shoved me. I fell over and fell off the steps. Lloyd and Nya stopped training. Jay, Skylor and Zane gasped.
I thought he was gonna attack me, but instead he stared down at me. He looked a bit guilty at first but then his expression changed back to anger then stormed off inside the Bounty.
"Are you alright?" Skylor asked.
"Yeah," I said, rubbing my head, "I told you it wasn't such a good idea."
"Yeah I know, I'm sorry. Anyway I have to run. The shop is about to open. See ya."
After she left, I sat down. My head and shoulders throbbed in pain. Nya sat down next to me then put her hand on my shoulder.
"I'll get you some ice. Then I'll go talk to Cole. Jay will come with."
Jay nodded then they both went inside. Lloyd and Zane came then sat across me to play checkers.
I don't know why Cole's acting like this, but since he hurt me, I'm afraid that he might hurt my sister.
I just hope they talk some sense into him...
