So, this is one of the stories I told everyone I was gonna write, or I told the people who read my story Choosing that I was gonna write this, along with a few other stories, but they're still in progress, so :P
Anyways, let's get this started!
Kai's POV
After losing Zane, Sensei had thought it would be a good idea to bring in some fresh faces. He'd found eight new ninja, one of them being Nya.
Most of them were girls, much to my dismay, but he'd said some of them were guys, so at leat we wouldn't be surrounded by girls.
Each of the new ninja would be arriving later on this week, so Sensei had made us clean up the academy a bit, wanting it to be spotless for when the new ninja arrive.
The others were all kind of excited about the new ninja, while I wasn't so stoked. It had always been the five of us, just me, Jay, Cole, Zane, and Lloyd.
I felt as though Sensei thinks we aren't enough anymore, that we're losing our touch and that's why he found new ninja, to replace us.
I shook my head at the thought, focusing on my current task, which was fixing the school bus for the field trip we'd be taking in a few days.
I was almost done with the repairs, finding the bus only needed an oil change and the brakes needed a little work done, so it wasn't that difficult.
What did suck, was that it was the middle of summer, so it was extremely hot outside. Normally, being the ninja of fire, I love the heat, but this was ridiculous.
I ended up having to remove my shirt, using it to wipe up my sweat. The field trip we'd be taking was to a village about a day away from here.
We were going to be staying there for a week, learning about life without technology. The village was known for its vineyard, which produces the best grapes in all of Ninjago.
The village only has necessary technology, like phones and stoves, but nothing for entertainment purposes, unless you're a citizen of the village.
All of us would be staying in a cabin on the outskirts of the village, having none of the technology that the citizens have.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a bus pull up in front of the academy, a young girl about my age stepping off of the bus.
I figured she was one the new ninja, so I tried to act busy, so I wouldn't have to talk to her. She didn't pay me any attention, she just made her way into the building, suitcase in hand.
Grabbing my shirt, I wiped my sweat one more time before heading inside as well, heading straight to my room, putting on a new shirt before making my way to the break room.
Entering, I found the new girl from earlier already there, talking with Sensei Wu. Both of them turned to look at me, as though I wasn't supposed to be in there.
Chuckling nervously, I rubbed my hand on the back of my neck and left the room, bumping into Jay at the foot of the stairs, making him drop his pudding cup.
"Kai, that was the last cup of chocolate pudding!" Jay shouted, looking down at the spilled pudding cup, watching as its contents poured onto the floor.
"Sorry about that, wasn't watching where I was going." I said, my face red with embarrassment as I went to clean up the pudding cup.
"Are you still worrying about the new ninja?" He asked, making me stop what I was doing for the moment. I continued to clean the pudding, not giving him an answer.
"Kai, you have to get over it! Just because Sensei brings in some new ninja, it does not mean he's gonna replace us." He said, shaking his head at me.
I opened my mouth to reply, but found Jay already walking away, so I closed my mouth, keeping my comment to myself.
I finished cleaning up the pudding, just as Sensei Wu opened the door to the break room, stepping into the hallway, looking down at me.
"I need you and the others to meet me in the living room in five minutes." Sensei said, walking back into the break room.
Walking downstairs, I eventually found the others, telling them to meet up in the living room before heading there myself, sitting on the couch.
Jay, Nya, and Cole walked in moments later, Nya and Cole taking their spots on the loveseat, while Jay sat by me on the couch, tapping his fingers on the arm of the couch.
Sensei came down minutes later, the girl from earlier following behind him, looking nervous. I took the opportunity to observe her better.
She was a very pretty girl, with long, wavy light brown hair and light brown eyes to match. She had quite a figure and her skin was somewhat tan, but not too tan.
She nervously looked around at all of us, her eyes resting on Jay a bit longer than the rest of us, Jay staring at her too, a soft blush on his cheeks.
I smirked, amused at how easily Cole and Jay fall in love, Cole being in love with Nya, while Jay obviously liked this new girl.
Sensei Wu finally spoke up, introducing the girl, all of us listening intensely to every word he said. I admit that even I was curious.
"Everyone, this here is Arisa Yoshida, one of the new ninja." Sensei said, pausing to let us greet each other.
"Hi, I'm Arisa. It's nice to meet all of you." She said, bowing a little bit, a smile plastered on her face as she spoke.
"So, what element are you Arisa?" Nya chimed in, curiosity oozing from her voice.
"Sensei told me that I was the kunoichi of wind, which does makes sense, considering I love the wind." She said, a soft blush on her face, her eyes cast downward as she smiled.
"So, what color are you?" Jay asked, his enthusiasm obvious. Arisa's head snapped up as Jay spoke, her watching him with a smile on her face. Those two have got it bad.
Sensei did his spinjitzu, changing Arisa into her suit, it looked just like ours only more feminine, her's was the same as Nya's, except for the color.
Arisa's suit was a beautiful shade of light purple, looking just right on her, apparently Jay thought so too.
"How do I look?" Arisa asked, giving a twirl, her hair lightly swinging as she did. Jay looked like he'd faint at any second, his eyes dazed.
"Perfect...I mean, perfectly fine." Jay said, realizing what he'd said at first, trying to cover up his slip up, making the rest of us snicker.
Jay and Arisa both had blushes on their faces, both of them looking down at the floor, Arisa biting her bottom lip.
All of us were silent for a few moments, then Sensei spoke up, breaking the awkward silence.
"Well, it's getting late, so I think Arisa should go get settled in. Come, I'll show you to your room." Sensei said, gesturing for Arisa to follow him, the rest of us followed behind, curious as to what her room looks like.
Sensei led her down to hall where to girls' rooms are, stopping outside of the door to the room next to Nya's.
Opening the door, we found Arisa's suitcase on the bed, along with some sort of...lizard thing sitting on top of it, sleeping.
Her room was cute. The bedspread was different shades of purple, with little white cloud designs on it, along with several fluffy white pillows on the bed as well.
She had a light brown wooden floor with a small, dark purple rug on the floor. Her window had silky, white curtains hanging over it. The walls were the same shade of purple as her ninja gi.
Arisa stepped into her room, admiring it with a smile on her face. The little lizard thing noticed Arisa in the room and immediately ran to her, letting Arisa scoop it into her hands.
Turning around, she introduced us to the creature, telling me it was a chameleon.
"This here is my pet chameleon, Camille." She said, lightly scratching the top of its head with the tip of her finger, making the small chameleon smile a little bit.
Nya squealed at the creature, rushing over to Arisa, the two of them beginning a conversation as Nya played with the chameleon.
Us boys took that as our cue to leave, so we did, all of us pretty tired. Before entering our rooms, Sensei informed us of two more of the new recruits that would be coming tomorrow, so we needed to be up bright and early so we could meet them.
We agreed to set alarms so we could wake up early tomorrow, which seemed to satisfy Sensei, him making his way to his room as we entered our rooms.
I crawled into bed, slowly drifting off to sleep as I wondered what tomorrow's two new recruits would be like.
I thought the camp I'm at didn't have wifi, but it does, so I posted something. I gotta wrap this up, so I can go to my afternoon activities here soon.
I will be updating Choosing here soon as well, and I will be posting a few new stories later on this week (hopefully).
Anyways, I hope you like this and I will try to update tomorrow or the day after, so keep an eye out!
