Chapter Two- Who is she Cole?
Naomi's legs could take her no further and she stopped her bike and jumped off looking around the small village she had reached. She must've been a sight, with the messy black her and bloody arms every passerby stared for a few seconds. No one approached her and offered help, they just quickened their pace while walking beside her.
Great now what? I'm god knows where looking like I just rode a tornado She thought my favorite part is I can't ask for help.
Sure, she could go around asking for help in her sign language but really there was probably no one who would understand her. If she'd been thought how to write she could probably do that but her father had never sent her to school, keeping her inside like a dark secret. It was hopeless; she'd ridden all the way here for nothing.
"Ha I remember when we hung you up on that pole Lloyd" A very very familiar voice said. "You where such a brat back then."
Heart slamming hard against her ribs, Naomi turned around and relief flooded over her as her eyes took in her brother. She didn't care why he was dressed as a ninja, or why he was accompanied by 4 others dressed similar to him but in different colors. She didn't stop to think how she'd explain leaving her grandparents behind. All that was on her mind was, Brother is here everything'll be ok.
She ran to him and slammed a tight hug against him. He stepped back a little almost losing his balance, then he looked down at the crazy haired girl and his eyes widened with recognition. "Naomi?"
She let go of him and his eyes went straight to her wounds. "What happened? Did you run away? Why are you hurt? How did you find me?"
The other ninja looked from the girl then back at Cole, keeping quiet as the girl's hands moved with agility her and Cole's expressions changing. Finally Jay could stay quiet no longer.
"Who is she Cole? What's going on?"
"I'll explain in a second" Cole's hands attempted to fix Naomi's hair a little. "We need to get her back to the bounty"
The bounty? Naomi's hands asked
"Yes" He took her hand, "Come on"
The ninja retreated back to the bounty where Cole took Naomi straight to Nya. "Nya this is my sister, I'll explain later but please she's hurt can you help?"
Nya nodded and took Naomi and Cole walked back to the others who were waiting impatiently for an explanation.
"Now are you gonna spill the beans?" Jay protested, Impatient.
"Yeah Cole who was that?"Lloyd ask moving his hair off his emerald green eyes.
"That" Cole answered, "Was my sister"
"Sister?" Kai babbled. "I thought you were an only child"
"You never mentioned another member in your family" Zane agreed
"I know" Cole sighed. "She lived with my grandparents because my dad couldn't bear to look at her it was 'Heart breaking' for him. Once I settled down I was going to go back for her, My grandmother can be a real pain in the butt, But then sensei found me and I became a ninja and well . . . I thought she'd be safer where she was."
"Whoa whoa whoa hold your horses," Jay chuckled a bit. "What do you mean 'Heart breaking'? She looks fine to me"
Kai smacked Jay upside the head. "Didn't you see her using sign language? She obviously can't talk"
"Ooooh"
"Yeah," Cole nodded. "And imagine, I couldn't do one dance move and that gained me enough embarrassment for a life time but at least I could sing but Naomi was never any good at dancing and without a voice. . . Well my dad just overreacted."
"There is another thing that doesn't match up Cole" Zane said with his usual monotone. "Why was Naomi hurt? And what brought her here to us?"
Cole opened his mouth to answer, but he saw Lloyd's eyes widen and he turns.
"She's ok, her wounds weren't bad" Nya says walking down beside Naomi.
Do I look hideous? I knew letting Nya put a dress on me was a bad idea now everyone's staring Naomi's cheeks flushed bright red and she looked down at the soft green dress Nya had let her borrow. It wasn't long enough for her to trip on it, Since Nya was only a few inches taller than her, but she could feel how big it was on her. Nya's body was well…. Normal and Naomi's. . . Well she hadn't exactly hit puberty yet. Looking up for a second her eyes locked into those of the blonde haired boy, the connection didn't last long though because they both looked away quickly. Naomi's stomach did a back flip inside of her; causing a pleasant sensation to spread all over her body but she had no idea what it represented except that maybe she was a little hungry. But since when was hunger pleasant?
"Seems like you're not the only one that looks good in green huh?"The guy with the black and blue suit nudged the blonde-haired guy in the shoulder. "You got some competition"
Naomi relaxed a bit. So she didn't look bad in the dress. . . Unless of course the guy was being sarcastic. Was he? How could you tell? And wait a minute. . . . Why did she care?
"I'm glad you're ok," Cole pulled her close. "And now back to Zane's question. . . It seems like we got a Pythor sized problem in our hands."
