Life with Kai & Nya

It's finally here! This will be the very first ordinary life AU story since the Valentine special & of course, this will be about Kai & Nya's relationship & how they deal with all the stuff that goes on at Ninjago High. As always, the disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago. Lego does. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy this little short story!

Chapter 1: Popularity Contest

Almost every teen residing in Ninjago City wound up attending Ninjago High to be educated as well as being judged. Some students were popular and others were not but everybody's different. But there was one thing everyone at Ninjago High always agreed on and that was…

"There she is." Some students hanging out in front of the school stopped to stare at a certain girl.

The only person who didn't seem affected even the slightest by the girl's presence was the hotheaded Hinata Kai and he knew it's only because of his relationship with her. He walked a few steps behind her to make sure no one will get any ideas. He had a reputation for being intimidating, which wasn't that surprising since he knows how to wield a katana thanks to years of kendo practice and he was fiercely protective of those important to him, including the girl near him. He wore that reputation as a badge of honor, not only for his protectiveness but also because he also thinks it makes him even cooler. Kai also sought to maintain a cool and badass image in school just as much as he was compelled to make sure no one tries anything shady towards the girl accompanying him.

Of course, because that girl was none other than Kai's little sister, Hinata Nya.

Nya had a reputation out in public for being perfect. She was beautiful, polite, and good at absolutely everything. She can wear anything and look good in them, got straight A's in school, and showed a lot of talent in sports and arts of any kind from swimming to cooking, all while maintaining a strong-willed yet amiable disposition. She even shows an eagerness to help anyone in need. Everyone young or old, boy or girl, adored her.

At least that's all everyone besides Kai and her parents see but more into that later.

There were many different people in Ninjago High, such as Jay Walker, a member of the auto club, the same club as Nya. The little guy always looked like he wanted say something but every time she did so much as spare a quick glance his way, his face would turn beet red and he'll run away. Other than Jay, there's Zane Julien, who already has an infamous reputation for being the only robot in Ninjago High and even the entirety of Ninjago City. He was built by none other than the now-retired scientist Adam Julien, who is said to be the best in the whole history of the city. However, the android was definitely not the most popular student in school, no thanks to his utter lack of social skills.

There's also Cyrene, head of the computer club who prefers to go by the nickname 'Pixal' and yes, she insists to spell it with an 'a' because she claims it feels right. And then there's Skye, who volunteers at the cafeteria's kitchen after school. There was also one of the newer students named Rumi who took everyone's recommendations to go to Nya for just about every question she had. Speaking of which…

"Nya! There you are!" The new girl ran up to Nya, "I'm still getting used to this place so can you tell me where Mr. Saunders' class is?"

"Sure thing!" Nya was quick to comply and help out her fellow student.

"Nya's always so helpful!" Other students praised the popular girl's willingness to help others.

"Not only is she talented but she's also so friendly to everyone! She's absolutely perfect!"

All the while, Kai was sending death glared every which way. Pretty much every guy in school coveted the immense honor of winning Nya's favor and become the boyfriend of the school idol. Too bad these morons will have to go through her hot-tempered brother first. To say he's overprotective would be an understatement. The spiky-haired teen already traumatized more than a few poor fools who tried to woo his sister. She is not a prize for anyone to win and all they see are her looks and what she can do. Kai certainly didn't want Nya to be trapped in the arms of a man who won't truly appreciate her.

Despite his drive to protect his sister, he also didn't like how he was constantly overshadowed by her.

'I help others and do good in school too so where's my respect?' The fiery young man fumed silently. He did have his fair share of admirers, namely the hormonal schoolgirls who fall for his hot looks but his 'fanbase' was nothing compared to Nya's since everyone in school were her fans, even the school staff. Kai couldn't help but wonder what his sibling had that he didn't.

But in the end, Nya was still his little sister and he was devoted to her, no matter what…

That's all for this chapter. We'll get a deeper look into the siblings' thoughts & perspectives later & as you can tell, the other ninja will show up & there's references to other characters here & there. Reviews are always appreciated & I'll see you later!
