Four ninjas dashed among tree tops in different colored gi. Each in red, yellow, blue, and white. In the hands of the blue ninja had in his hands a mystical mysterious plate. "Sian, you said retrieving the Yata Mirror would be a breeze. Whatever happened to a breeze?" yelled the white ninja. "Calm down Kaz, just because there are a bunch of samurai chasing us doesn't mean we're in trouble." replied Orochi. "Hey guys we're almost at the shrine! Are those samurai still chasing us Kaz?" said the red ninja. Kaz, the white ninja, stopped and ran up a tree. He looked over the clearing. He headed down to join the rest of his ninja brothers.

Sian gave the plate to the red ninja."Looks like we lost 'em, is the Yata Mirror safe?" Kaz called to the red ninja. "It's safe with Z." answered Z to Kaz. A man in a red and silver ninja gi was waiting at the shrine. "Did you retrieve the Yata Mirror like I asked?" The man with spiky brown hair asked. "Z's got it right here for ya sensei dad." Z handed the Yata Mirror to the sensei. "Superb job all four of you. Once we have all of these artifacts retrieved, Kuro won't be able to destroy Ninjago like he plans. Now you four, get some rest." As they were dismissed by the sensei the four ninja headed off towards their room.

Sian was the first to jump on his bed. He removed his mask and hugged his pillow. He had black hair and clear blue eyes. "Aah. I've missed you dear pillow." he whispered to his pillow. With a jolt he threw his pillow against the wall. "Crap, now i sound just like dad." He lay flat on his bed staring at the ceiling. Z pulled over his masked and laid down on his bed with his arms crossed behind his head. He had spiky reddish-pink hair and amber eyes. "Do you really dislike your dad Sian? Z is cool with his dad." "Pff! That's just 'cuz you look like him-" "Look who's talking!" Kaz cut him off. He had black hair with brown highlights,but had darker blue eyes. "You're the only one in the family who looks closest to dad." Kaz snickered. "I'd probably like him more if I were lightning too. How come you got to be lightning and you're a white ninja? I doubt that lightning is even white!" Sian closed his eyes and turned against the wall to sleep.

"Actually white can create the different colors of the color spectrum, so basically lightning can do just the same, considering it being white light too. So yah, that's basically it." Kaz put his hands on his hips. "We should get some sleep now guys. Today's mission was without-a-doubt exhausting." Orochi had thick black hair held together in a ponytail, and dark gray, almost black, eyes. Orochi fell asleep in an instant. "Orochi's right. Z also wants to sleep." Z pulled up his covers and fell into a deep sleep. In an hour everyone was asleep. Everyone except Sian. When Sian made sure everyone was asleep he got out of bed. He tiptoed silently towards the door. "Goin' somewhere Sian?" Kaz looked confused at Sian. Sian slowly turned around. Gottta think of something quick! "Ahh-uhhh, you are dreaming." said Sian with motions of his hand. "Sian we both know we're awake, come on, i'm not dumb." Kaz folded his arms across his chest. Sian dropped his hands. "So you gonna answer my question?" Kaz pressed on.

Sian glared at Kaz, feeling angry due to his twin brother's persistence. "Uhh, just getting some warm milk. Couldn't sleep." Right away Kaz responded "You're lying." Kaz shot Sian a hard look. "You're sneaking out again!" Kaz stood up. "I have no idea what you're talking about." Sian leaned against the door. Kaz and Sian glared at each other for a long time, until suddenly, Sian dashed down the corridor. Kaz quickly chased after him, still in his pajamas. Sian was just a couple meters ahead. I haven't mastered Spinjitsu yet, but its always good to try. Thought Kaz. "Ninja-Go!" Sian skidded to a stop and watched what his brother was doing. "Kaz what're you doing. We still don't know Spinjitsu well!" Sparks of lightning began to build up around Kaz. "I'm doing it! I'm really doing it!" For a few seconds Kaz formed a white tornado. Sian watched in awe. "I'm doing-" he was cut off when the tornado exploded and he plummeted against the wall and hit the floor. Sian observed him for a while. Kaz groaned. Sian stared hard at him, then found out Kaz was okay. "Whew! For a second I thought you killed yourself." Sian turned around to run again, but was stopped by his father who had an eye-patch on. "What are you and your brother doing up so late?" he demanded. "Uhh. Getting milk?" Sian lied.

Sian and Kaz were punished by their father by having to clean for the rest of the night. Sian slowly swept up dust and dirt with a frustrated look as Kaz washed the windows. Sian growled. "We wouldn't have been in this mess if it wasn't for you. You couldn't just mind your own business like a normal person, thunder head." Kaz glared back at Sian. "Maybe if you were asleep like everyone else, I wouldn't have to, Mudkip!" Sian took a step forward. "Oh you did not just say, what I think you just said!" Kaz dropped his towel. "Hey Mudkip, why don't you use water gun on some of those dishes." Kaz smirked. "Oh now you took it too far!" Sian threw his broom at Kaz like a spear. Kaz dodged and the broom got stuck in the wall. Sian darted at Kaz with a flying kick. Kaz dodged and counterattacked with an elbow to his brothers head. After Sian recovered, he glared back at his brother.

Sian charged at Kaz and threw a left hook. Kaz blocked, but got pushed back a bit from the force. After shaking his arms from the pain, Kaz kicked Sian on the floor and put his fut on his neck. "Are you done, or do you still wanna fight?" Kaz and Sian glared at each other. Sian sighed and Kaz helped him up. "Now let's finish cleaning so we can get some shut eye." Sian smiled and removed the broom from the wall. More pieces from the wall crumbled off. "Okay we really need to cover that up." said Kaz. Sian nodded.

The next morning, Kai and Jay came to wake the four ninja up. "Aye! Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey boys!" said Jay when he flickered on the lights. "No for real, Zane made eggs and bacon for breakfast. It's a real treat." Sian angrily got up. "Shut up, will you dad!" Jay glared at Sian. Sian flicked him off. Jay gasped in disgust. "Hey!" Jay replied. Orochi walked to the bathroom, followed by Z. Kaz did some stretches and walked in to the bathroom. Sian punched his dad in the face and ran to the bathroom and locked the door. "Shian dih you really...?" asked Kaz with a mouth full of toothpaste. Sian blocked the door with an embarrassed smile.

After the ninja freshened up that morning Z went out to talk with Sian. "So Sian." said Z as he started beating up a training bot. "You wanna tell Z what you do when you sneak off at night?" Sian was practicing his kama skills on another training bot. Sian kicked the bot away. "What are you talking about Z?" Sian nervously asked. Z kept on hammering the bot away with his fists. "Oh you know exactly what Z is talking about." Z upper-cut the bot onto the floor. Sian swung his kamas scarring the bot. Sian decided not to answer. "You think Z doesn't know when you sneak out all the time at night. Z isn't dumb you know." Z tore off the training bot's head and wiped sweat off his forehead.

His spiky bright reddish-pinkish hair was soaked with sweat. Sian dug his kamas into the head of his training bot. "Fine you got me, but don't tell Kaz anything that I tell you, okay?" Sian sat on the malfunctioning, smoking training bot. "You have Z's word." Promised Z. Sian hesitated for a moment then let out a sigh. Sian whistled a tune. Z looked confused, but got up when he saw a figure running towards Sian. It was a small dog. Sian carried it up as it licked his face. "O-kay thats -e-nough boy." Z stared at the dog for a moment. "Z's confused, explain." "This is... actually I haven't named him yet, but anyway when I was brushing my teeth one night and I caught him digging in the trash." "So that's what's been making the messes. Z understands." Sian tenderly looked at the puppy. "He reminded me so much of Pretzel my old dog... that..." Sian looked down. "Z heard enough. Don't worry Z'll keep it a secret." Sian looked at Z. "Thanks man." Sian whispered into the puppy's ear and the puppy ran out.

Orochi and Kaz came out of the temple and onto the training grounds. "Are you guys ready to learn some spinjitsu?" Asked Orochi. "Sensei Kai's out on a mission with my dad, and Zane's babysitting Blake." Said Kaz. Z shrugged and got ready to do the training course. "So Orochi how do we do this?" Asked Sian. Orochi did not reply,but pointed to the training course. "How come we have to do the training course while Orochi just watches.?" Asked Sian with an angry look. "Because Orochi knows Spinjitsu and Airjitsu. I know Z's jealous too." Answered Z.

Z sighed and walked up to the start of the training course. He stared intently at the swinging axes and rotating maces. The others watched as Z darted passed the entire course in record time. Kaz stared in awe. "He has Z's dad's blood in him." Bragged Z. "Z it's your turn." Orochi looked at Sian. "What?! Uhh, Z'll go after Kaz, okay?" Sian looked nervous. Orochi put his hand on his chin and looked at Kaz. "It's fine." Said Kaz. Kaz walked up to the start of the course. He suddenly recalled what happened a night ago, and how he had done Spinjitsu for a split second. Kaz blinked and he turned into a tornado and went through the entire course. Orochi smiled and nodded. "Show off." Said Sian as he walked to the start of the course. Sian went into a running pose and dashed through the course. When he thought he made it to the end, a pole shot him up into the air. The others gasped as Sian came falling from a hundred feet.

Orochi did Airjitsu to fly up and catch Sian. As soon as they landed Sian fainted. Later that day, Orochi and Kaz sparred for a long time as Sian recovered. Sian walked in front of the shrine and sat on a stone looking out unto the forest. He whistled a tune and a puppy darted towards him and began licking his face. "Hey boy, how are you?" The puppy barked twice. "That's great pal, hold tight I have some dinner leftovers for you." Sian quickly ran in the temple into the kitchen and took his plate, before Nya and Zane, who were cleaning up, could notice. Sian darted back to the front of the shrine and lowered the plate for the puppy to eat. Sian smiled as he watched the small puppy eat.

That night he heard the puppy whimpering outside his window. He looked out the windows and saw a dark figure looming over the helpless dog. Sian gasped and ran out as fast as he could. He slid to a stop as he noticed the blood on the dog. "No!" The dark figure laughed and vanished into thin air. "Hold in there boy i'll get help." Sian wiped the tears from his face and brought the dog inside. He used his shirt to cover the dog's wound. He rushed to his parent's room. "Mom, I need help quick!" Nya slowly woke up, but when she noticed the bloody white dog she shot up and ran towards Sian. She grabbed the dog and ran to the kitchen. Sian followed. She gently laid him on the dining table and removed the bloody shirt. "The wound is still open. How did this happen?" Nya observed the cut. "I-I don't know, mom. I j-just found him outside bleeding, but... there was someone there. It was just a strange dark figure, and... it disappeared." Nya ran the water from the tap and poured some on the wound. Sian watched his mom carefully. She controlled the water and used it to heal and close the wound.

Nya let out a huge breath. He's fine, but the wound isn't done healing. Nya and Sian sat down. "Do you know this dog?" Nya asked her son. Sian was reluctant to answer. "I found him digging in the trash a couple weeks ago. He looked starved and hungry so I secretly fed him leftovers from whenever we had dinner." Nya slowly nodded. "That's all I needed to hear." Kaz was waiting at the door along with Orochi. They both sat down. "You knew, how?" Asked Sian. "Twin telepathy." Kaz tapped on his head. "So, what do we do with him?" asked Kaz. Sian rubbed his eyes and shook his head. "We'll just leave it here until the wound finishes healing." Sian stared at the puppy that lay limp on the table, its skin as pale as I vampire. "I'm not sure about that." Orochi pointed to black symbols that spilled out of the dog's wound and covered his body.

"What the hell!?" Sian jumped to his feet. "Their curse signs, but I don't know what type. By the way hon, watch your voice and your language people are trying to sleep." said Nya. Sian ignored what she had said. He was too focused on the curse signs. "What do we do!?" Sian frantically asked his eyes wide and full of tears. The puppy started shaking and whimpering silently. "Oh no. I have to administer an antidote right away!" As Nya darted out of the kitchen a short golden haired boy walked in. He was rubbing his eyes. "What's with all the hubbub?" he said lazily. He looked at everyone in the room, they all had serious expressions. "What's going on?" He asked with a concerned look. Orochi opened his eyes and signaled with his head towards the table. The boy casually walked over to the table and saw the dog lying there and cursed seals all over his body.

"So. big deal?" Sian took his hands off of his face and glared at the boy. "Are you out of your mind, Hikari. My dog is dying, and apparently you don't give a shit!?" Hikari still had on a casual face. He looked at the dog. "Dad taught me how to fix things like this." Hikari clapped his hands together and started rubbing them until they shone a brilliant gold. All the ninja watched in awe. He hovered his hands over the dog's wounds. Within seconds the wound sealed and the curse symbols disappeared. Everybody just stared. Hikari sighed and went back to bed. Nya walked back with a sad face on. "I'i'm sorry Sian, but there was no cure." She looked up and saw the puppy rapidly licking Sian's face. "But how!?" He Nya frantically asked. "I read flipped through every single page in the book of healing." "Maybe they should've added Hikari into there." Sian said beaming at his puppy. "Hikari did this?" Nya looked dumbfounded. Kaz ran his hand through his hair. "So what' his name, bro?"

Sian stared at his puppy long and hard. "How about... Inugami?" Inugami started licking Sian's face. "Of course naming it "dog god" would help it feel superior. "Bump all this i'm goin' to bed." Kaz folded his arms behind his head and walked down the hall to his room. "You and Inugami should get some sleep too. Training starts early tomorrow, and we have to go hunting for another artifact." Orochi walked away too. Sian turned around, Nya was already gone. "Let's go get some rest boy."

That night everyone slept, while wondering how Hikari had performed such a miracle.
