So this is my first fanfiction piece. I hope you like it! Please review and let me know your thoughts :) Set after Season 9 so contains some spoilers!

Urgh. Pain shot across my forehead and I immediately screwed my eyes up, trying to block out the blinding light. Urgh.

"Kai?" A gentle, concerned hand fell onto my shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly. "Kai? Are you ok?" The voice was as gentle as her hand, and a small smile crept over me along with a warm, fuzzy heat. She was here. I tried again and opened my eyes, slowly this time and narrowed, prepared for the blinding light to hit me. An involuntary gasp escaped me as the pain once again throbbed, no stabbed, across my forehead, but I pushed through as I knew the sight awaiting me would make up for the pain. She was here, and I wanted to see her. To drink her in. Man was I lucky. And there she was, gazing at me through those fabulous, long lashes and with those deep, deep, green eyes. Which were filling with concern. I tried to sit up, but her gentle hand gripped my shoulder more firmly and pushed me back down. "Steady on there champ. Take it easy." I knew better than to fight her, so sank back down into the stiff and slightly uncomfortable pillows. Wait, where was I? And what had happened?

Blinking I took in my surroundings. Stark, white, practical and minimally furnished. Urgh, the medical room. I registered Zane in the corner, tinkering with some bottles of suspect looking medicines and I dimly hoped they were not intended for me. That gentle but strong hand moved from my shoulder to brush a stray strand of spiky hair from my forehead, and my attention quickly moved back to her. Skylor.

"Hey." I finally managed to croak out, and she smiled at me and then rewarded me with the best medicine as she swooped in for a kiss. Her lips tasted of cherries and were so warm and soft...Hmmm...maybe I needed to wake up in the medical room more often...

"How are you feeling" she breathed as she drew back, concern clouding those beautiful green eyes. Truthfully, I was now aware that my right arm was aching, and my head felt like someone had trampled over it then whacked me with Cole's scythe a few dozen times for good measure. But she did not need to know that. Unless...

"Not too good," I whispered, "maybe another one of those would help...?" I flashed her my best, charming, lop sided smile and she laughed, leaning over me as she granted me what I had hoped for, a soft, lingering kiss...mmmm...

A small "ahem", a clearing of a throat and a gentle "ewww" alerted me to the fact that indeed it was now not only Skylor, Zane and myself in the room. My other brothers and my sister, who was grinning ear to ear whilst making mock retching noises at me, were now hanging in the doorway. Laughing, Skylor pulled away and stood up from where she had been sat, precariously balanced on the edge of the tiny medical bed. "That's plenty of that medicine for you today!" she folded her arms, concern lifting from her face and a smile now lighting up her eyes. Pouting at her I smiled, and then grinned at my fellow ninja.

"What happened?" As I asked, Jay immediately looked guilty and then launched into his full speed explanation and jumbled. Something about a training dummy, spinning too fast and coming off its axis, flying across the training yard then hitting me on the head? My hurting brain could not quite keep up with the master of blabber's lightning speed right now, so I just waved him down. "It's ok Jay, you can tell me properly later." He sighed, stepping into the room properly and lightly punching me on the arm (my good arm thank the FSM)

"Just glad you're ok there, bud", lightly smiling as he walked back out. Lloyd then cleared his throat, asking Zane what the prognosis was.

"Well it would appear that Kai has a concussion. Thankfully not a serious one, but I will need to monitor your vitals, Kai," he walked over to me, "periodically to check it does not worsen in its severity." Zane offered a hand to help me sit up fully, which I did, wincing at the pain in my head as I did so. "No training for the rest of the day for you, or the week for that matter." he smiled, "But you must let me know if the pain in your head becomes worse or if you become nauseous". I nodded and sighed, directing a soft "sorry bud" towards Lloyd, who looked up at me with a raised brow and then turned to Cole. They exchanged a look which I could not decipher, then Cole winked at me and left. My heart sank. Now was not the time for me to be out of action. Since all of the issues shall we say with the Sons of Garmadon and the First Realm, we were on high alert for any suspicious activity which could be the oni. I mentally kicked myself, how could I have been so stupid as to get taken out by a loose training dummy?!

"Lloyd, I'll be fine after today. I'lll be more aware of the dummies and whatever Jay is doing with them! I'll..." Lloyd held up a hand and mock scowled at me, stopping me in my tracks.

"Stop! Dont worry yourself, just get yourself better. You and Skylor have been training nonstop. You're tired. We're all tired. "He paused, looking thoughtful. "Why don't you both take a break together, you've earned it." He smiled, winked at me then left the room, whilst I took in a sharp breath and looked at Skylor. A break? I tried to remember the last time I had had a proper break, and for Lloyd to offer one now... I'm not sure I know how to relax! I must have looked bewildered, as Skylor came over, grabbing my hand.

"Hey. Are you ok?" Zane spun round, looking equally concerned, eyes focussing intently as he started to rescan my vitals.

"Yes. I'm good. I just… well... I don't think I know how to take a break!" Skylor grinned.

"Well that, master of fire, I can help you with." as she planted a kiss on my cheek.
