Kai's POV

"What if I told you that there are secrets about your parents that the Senseis never told you! Dark secrets..." said Chen. "My parents?! What about them?!" I asked. "So many questions, geez!" The memory about Chen telling me that there are dark secrets about my parents made me worry.

"Are they alive? Where are they? What happened to them?" I thought. So many questions, yet few answers. I couldn't even sleep that well. Whenever I do fall asleep, I get dreams about my parents' past, or the same memory of Chen.

It was 2:30 AM, everyone except me was fast asleep. I moaned and got out of bed. I quietly snuck out the bedroom and walked to the bathroom. When I got there, I turned on the sink faucet and looked in the mirror. My eyes were droopy and tired. I haven't slept that much for the past two days now. Me just looking in the mirror brings memories of my parents. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Calm down, Kai. Just forget, just forget... that was the past..." I whispered to myself. I tried to hold back the tears, but it felt like I was going to explode. "Why can't anyone just tell me what happened to them..?" I whispered.

It was now morning. I was at the dining table earlier than anyone else except Sensei Wu. He was sitting at his chair drinking tea. "Why might you be up so early? You've never done this before." asked Sensei. "Well... I, um..." I said, before everyone else walked in the room. "Good morning, students. Come. Sit down. Nya's making breakfast." "So then it's gonna be delicious!" added Jay.

While we all were having breakfast, everyone was looking at me. "Uh, why are you all staring at me?" I asked. "Because it looks like you haven't slept in weeks!" replied Jay. "So? Why does that matter?" "Because this isn't like you, Kai. You've never been like this before." added Cole. "I sense something's wrong with you. You need help." said Zane. "No! I don't need a psychologist!" "I didn't say that, we can help you-" "NO! YOU CAN'T HELP ME!" I looked at Sensei, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" I got up out of my seat, running to my room.

Nya's POV

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" said Kai, running to his room. I was shocked at what he just said, and so was Sensei. I didn't know what he was talking about. "Nya, go talk to Kai. Maybe you can knock some sense into him." said Sensei. "He's just upset, Sensei- he probably didn't mean it-" Sensei stopped me from speaking. "Oh, I can tell when he means something..." I then walked to Kai's room.

I knocked on Kai's door. Nothing happened. I knocked again- nothing happened. The door was unlocked, so I slowly opened it to see if Kai was in his room. Apparently, he wasn't. All I could see that was left of him was his bed's covers messed up and a note. I walked over to his bed and picked up the note. "Dear Friends/Family, I have left to have some alone time somewhere else. I knew one of you would come in this room, so I left. And if Nya's reading this note, don't be upset, Nya. I'll be fine. From, Kai

A tear rolled down my cheek. I was upset, even if Kai said I shouldn't be. Why did Kai blame Sensei for his feelings? I ran out the door and went back to the dining room. "What did he say?" asked Jay. "H- He's not here at the moment..." I replied, handing Jay a note. He grabbed the note out of my hand and read it. "Should we look for him?" "No. He likes to be alone..." After he read the note, I sadly walked back to my room.

Kai's POV

I was in the forest sitting on a large rock, looking down at the soft green grass. As I touched the grass, it started to burn. "Aah! I- I didn't make that happen!" I said, pulling my hand away from the grass. "Is fire just meant for destruction?" I thought. The sun was setting on the horizon, behind all of the trees. "Maybe I should go back, the others are probably waiting for me..." I said, walking back to the Bounty.

When I got back, everyone was waiting for me. "Well well well, look who decided to show up." said Cole, crossing his arms. "What? Did I miss anything?" I asked. "Well, Nya's upset and Sensei's pissed, so you didn't really miss anything." answered Zane. "And thanks to you, we all have to do Sunrise Excersise an hour early tomorrow!" whined Jay. "Jay, that really wasn't his fault." added Kate. "If Kai never acted like a baby and screamed, 'THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!'- none of this would've happened!" "Shut the hell up, Jay! I wasn't screaming like a baby!" "Yes you were, Flamey." I punched Jay in the face- hard. "NEVER CALL ME MY LAST NAME EVER AGAIN!" Jay looked up at me in fear. "Oww... that really hurt, Kai..." "Of course it did... I punched you, Sparky."

Sensei came in the room. "What in Ninjago is going on here?!" Sensei looked at Jay's fresh black eye and then my fist. "Kai! Why would you punch your brother?!" asked Sensei, looking mad. "Well he's the one that said I was a crybaby!" I said, pointing at Jay. "He's the one who pissed you off!" replied Jay, pointing at me. "ENOUGH!" "Yes Sensei..." we all said in unison. "Jay- go to the Bridge- we'll heal your wound. As for you, Kai- I need to speak with you in my room." When everyone except me and Sensei walked to the Bridge, I walked with Sensei to his room.

"Since we are alone now, I need to ask you why you punched Jay." said Sensei. "He first called me a baby and then he called me my last name, which I was pissed about." "And why did you blame me for your feelings?" "Because you never told me about my parents... Chen said you knew..." Sensei frowned then looked down at the floor. "I never told you because it would affect anyone who knew." "I don't care, I just want to know!" "Alright, Kai. "Your mother was captured by skeletons. She had no time to attack, it was too late... " "No... that's what happened?!" "Yes, Kai, there was nothing we could do..." "What about my father?" "Everyone was asleep, except for your father. He was captured by the skeletons without anyone knowing. We've never heard from him since..." "Was he murdered?!" "That we do not know, yet." "Then I'll go find him!" "Kai, wait!" He was too late, I was already out the door.
