"Dark side thoughts" "Light side thoughts" /Normal thoughts Regular

Axelle POV

Kai…grr… he drove me insane. So far I had tried and fallen 3 times. He said if I could do it by tomorrow he would let me know where my room was, so for now I'm stuck between going and sleeping in the last room I was in which I think is Nya's or sleeping in the training room. I stood up and decided to try training on my own. Every time I fell I had to reset. Eventually, I completed it 10 times in a row. The next thing I knew I heard Flamy shouting trying to get me up.

"Can you do it?" He asked with a cocky tone to his voice.

"Hell yeah I can," I said while grabbing a Bo staff.

I jumped over the planks gracefully as Kai grabbed the controller. I ducked under the swords and noticed Kai was getting to the pipes at the first part of the level. Then I got to the dummy. You're goin' down. I knocked it over and noticed I had to come back around and Kai was at the flag pole. I chucked my Bo staff at his hands, knocking the controller away and across the room, allowing me to finish. I got back to Kai and the game and said, "You know, it's better if you jump from the top of the bricks."

He grinned and said, "Blondie, you're smarter than you look." He led me out of the room to go and eat.

- Zane POV-

I was preparing a meal for my brothers and newfound sister when Cole popped up behind me and scared me by speaking. "Zane, Sensei wants us to go out on a mission after breakfast."

"Very well Cole. Will it be a long mission?" I asked looking at him. Now calmed down from his sudden outburst.

"Sensei said it would take about 3 days. By the way, that sausage smells good." Cole said as he sat down at the somewhat large dining table.

"This is Zane and Cole. Cole, get your ass over here and say hi to Blondie." Kai said, breaking into the kitchen with an extremely messy-haired blonde girl.

"Axelle?" Cole asked. The girl nodded and sat down looking like she wanted a meal and then to sleep so I decided not to talk to her. I then took the cooked sausage and put it on a plate, setting it down on the table letting Cole, Kai, and the new girl Axelle eat first.

"Frosty!" I heard Jay squeal from the other side of the Destiny's Bounty. He bounded across the hall to the table and reached for his plate of sausage. I glared at him but he must've not seen it because he kept eating.

"Cole, we should get going." I said and glanced over to the clock, hoping Axelle didn't see my feathered friend. Cole nodded and left with a piece of toast in his mouth. I rolled my eyes and turned to Kai and Jay. "We're going to be gone for the next several days." They nodded and I jumped off the Bounty, allowing my shuriken to transform into a motorcycle.

- Later-

"I-I-It's ssssso cccccold." Cole said with his teeth chattering. I looked intently ahead of me trying to find a dwelling of a princess. I looked across the snowy forest and felt no change in the temperature but it must be drastic in order to get Cole's teeth to chatter. My thoughts were interrupted by a girl talking.

"Cute little birdie." I heard the voice gently say. I looked over to see a beautiful girl with hip length white hair and she had violet eyes. She had a blue dress that looked like it should be longer but it fit around her ankles beautifully. She wore white heeled shoes and I noticed she had my falcon. I ran ahead of Cole to talk to her.

"Hello." I greeted her.

"Oh sorry is this your falcon?" she asked nervously.

"Yes it is. You seem to like him. He also seems to like you." I commented noticing her perfect teeth and lips. I felt a tingly feeling in my stomach as I watched my falcon wander around her.

"My name is Hikami; I am princess of the land." She said offering my falcon to me.

"I am Zane, ninja of ice."

She smiled gently at me. "Father does not approve of ninjas, but I want to become one."

I noticed she started stepping towards me. It felt like butterflies were flying around in my stomach, except my stomach cavity was clearly empty. I opened my mouth and managed to muster, "Would you like to become a ninja?"

She smiled a beautiful smile and said, "I'll think about it. You can stay at the palace for now but you must keep the fact you are a ninja a secret."

I need to make sure she doesn't find out I'm a … a monster. I nodded and turned to Cole who was running over.

"Hey Zane, Hikami." He greeted softly. I nodded in return.

"Follow me gentlemen." She said and led us along the path.

When we got to the palace, I realized it was huge. I glanced around and then I saw Hikami. She seemed different.

"Hey you, blondie. Get your ass over here." She said now wearing a black dress that was ripped at the bottom. She seemed eviler but still beautiful.

"Yes Hikami?" I asked stiffly.

"Tell father I'm going out for a walk." She hissed and left. I sent my falcon after her in hope of her safe return.

Hikami POV

I sighed angrily and stomped along kicking a pebble as I walked. I turned and saw Zane's falcon following behind me.

"He's nice looking after us." My light told me as the falcon followed.

"Whatever. Leave me alone Hikari." I told my light side as I got into the forest.

"You're lucky, you're free to fly where as I'm stuck in this stupid body sharing with another half." I told the falcon letting it perch on my index finger. The bird flew above my head as if to say it was jealous of me for some reason. Yet, I was an abomination to society having two minds sharing one body.

"You're not that bad. I think you're very pretty." My Hikari told me.

"That's because I'm you." I told her. She glared at me mentally and declared she wanted control.

"Better." She said as she forced her way in charge.

"Fly back to Zane. We'll be okay." I told Zane's falcon. It flew away. After it disappeared from my sight I decided to head back to the palace.
