CHAPTER 1
WILL THEY ESCAPE?
NYA' S POV:
I had no idea what to do. The leader of the Mistoffs, at least that's what I presume, trapped us inside the volcano, blocking the only entrance. Now the volcano was about to erupt. Not only did I have to escape with the fans of water, but I also have to rescue Kai and get him out of here before he gets hurt even worse than he is now. I sighed, running against the boulders, hoping that my shoulder might be strong enough to knock the boulders to the ground and helping us escape with our lives. Unfortunately, the only thing I kept receiving from the results of it was a bruised arm. It's not too bad. Well, maybe a little. Okay, it's pretty bad. It hurts like nobody's business. I think after too many times, I may have ended up spraining my shoulder. Oh, well. I thought it was a good try.
I sighed in defeat. I was out of options. That's it. We were doomed. Done for. Nothing could be said or done.
Kai stood in front of me. "Nya, sitting here and pouting about it will not make us get out of here. The volcano is about to explode and you're just sitting here like a lump on a log. Some mistress you turned out to be."
"Excuse me, but I did all I could. Where did that end me up with? A sprained shoulder and having no way of getting out of here."
"Can't you just use those fans to get out of here? I'm sure the rocks will just float away from here."
"It's not that simple. I'm not the only one that can do anything around here. You could be thinking of a way for the both of us to get out of this. I can't do everything myself."
"Oh, here we go again. You complaining about you not being able to do it all. I can't always do it, either. When are you ever going to get that through your head?"
"You know what? I wish that woman kept you as her prisoner. All you do is cause the both of us to fight. I don't know what to do about any of this anymore, Kai. You are just becoming too difficult to handle. I just wish mother were here." I turned away from Kai and started crying. I haven't cried since last night, but this was the first time Kai had ever seen me cry. I crossed my arms, letting the tears falling freely, dripping to the ground. "I never thought you would see me like this. Weak. Knowing nothing about how to get out of here. I'm sorry, but I really can't handle us fighting. None of this would've happened if you had just let me make sure that you were safe. You pushed me beyond the limit, Kai. Like a sister, I love you with all my heart, but as the hot-headed person that you are, I wish you could be a lot kinder to me. Not just be such an idiot all the time. How would you feel if you had to do all the cooking, cleaning, and shopping in one afternoon after coming home from work? I feel like a housewife and mother to you all the time. That's not what I want to do everyday for the rest of my life. I have a life myself. You don't know what really goes on with me at all. With so much on my mind, I just wish you would be more considerate. Now I blocked you from my email, deleted your text messages and blocked your number off my phone. I thought it would make me feel better, but it only made everything worse. I'm so sorry. This is what happens when you make me mad. I wish I never did all that. Now I'll never forgive myself for my stupid ways. I'm sure you don't, either."
Kai hesitated. "Gee, I don't know what to say. Is that really how I've treated you?"
"Why should it matter? We're about to get blown to bits."
"I'm sorry. I never meant to push you over the limit. If I'd have known, I would've never treated you that way. I promise from this day forward that it will never happen again. I made a lot of mistakes. I promise that if it ever happens again, I will let you know about it. I've made a lot of mistakes. I'm sure you have, too. I guess I'll never forgive myself for my stupid ways, either. Can you ever forgive me?"
I sighed, seeing as though he apologized, but I'm just not sure about it. Was it true or not? "I...don't know if I can."
Kai lowered his head down in sadness. "I suppose you'll always be mad. I suppose if that's how you'll be, I'll just find a way out of here myself. Good luck."
"Kai, don't take it that way. I may not be able to accept your apology now, but I still need help getting out of here. I'm one of the reasons that Ninjago needs help. You can't just leave me here. I need you."
"You should've thought about that. Looks like you don't need me."
"I do, Kai. You may not understand that, but right now, I need you more than ever."
"Why won't you accept my apology? Why can't you forgive me?"
"I just don't know if your apology is actually true or not."
Kai shook his head. "Even after you complained about all that stuff. I guess you and I were never meant to be siblings."
A rumble went off in the volcano. It was starting to become unstable. I gasped. "There's no more time for talking. We need to get out of here."
"Okay." Kai picked up the fans of water from off the ground and placed them in my hand. "I'm pretty sure you know how to use these. Give it a try."
"I can't. I don't know how to use these. These are part of the silver weapons of spinjitzu. They may not be stable to use."
"Why do you think they were placed inside the volcano?"
I sighed. "I guess I can try, but I don't think it will work. Here goes nothing."
Closing my eyes, I grasped the fans tightly, swinging them around and rising them up and down. I heard splashing, seeing droplets of water hitting my face. I opened my eyes to see a wave of water coming at my brother and I. Oh, no. I completely forgot that Kai was afraid of water. Once he saw that wave, he screamed his head off as the water crashed down upon us.
The both of us sticked next to each other as we were rose up to the only exit that was left in the volcano. The top of it. The one place where all the lava comes from when the volcano erupts. Well, instead of erupting lava, it erupted water, spitting us out while doing so. Kai and I landed in the middle of the jungle, having no idea where we are or where the bounty was.
I turned around to see Kai coughing out water."Well, that wasn't refreshing."
"I'm sorry, Kai," I said, "I never meant for that to happen. I didn't even know the weapons could turn lava into water."
"Are you sure that it wasn't your own powers?"
"I'm pretty sure."
"Well, now that we're alive, what do we do now? I'm pretty much stuck with you until we get off this crazy island."
"Okay, you want me to accept your apology, I will. I accept your apology. There. I said it. Are you happy now?"
"No, not really. You didn't say it nice enough."
"Well, how much niceness do you want? You've already put me in a bad mood. I don't think I can talk to you right now. Just follow me and I'll try my best to lead you back to the bounty."
"Bounty. I thought Borg was making some changes to it."
"He did and he finished them. It seems as though Ninjago is waiting for us to save them all."
"You don't have to be rude about it. What is your problem?"
"You are my problem. I just wish you would shut up and let me do my own thing."
"Okay, if that's what you want, I'll just stop talking."
"Thank you. That's all I want. That's really all I want."
"I'm sorry, okay. Let's just forget about it all, okay. If you want to move back home, you are welcomed to come back. I won't make you leave."
I sighed, shaking my head. "No, Kai. I'm not coming home. I enjoy the life that I'm living now. I think it's best if I stay where I am now. If you want me to, I'll come get all my stuff out of there. Plus, I'll teach you how to do laundry and clean up the place. If you want me to."
"Okay. That sounds fine. I just want you to forgive me. Please. That's all I ask."
"Do you promise to keep your phone on all day when I call you?"
"Cross my heart."
"Do you promise to answer when I call you?"
"Cross my heart and hope to die. What more do you want?"
"Nothing. I forgive you, Kai. More than anything in this world, I love you. You're my brother. The greatest brother a sister could ask for."
"Thanks, sis." Kai wrapped his arms around me, placing me in a hug. I hugged him back. I felt tears fall from my eyes. I didn't care. They were happy tears. I was in a good mood and in good hands with the only family I have. One I hope to never lose.
The moment was suddenly gone when a blast of sound came our way. I looked to see that it was Pixal, giving us a smile. "I am glad I found you. Misako was starting to worry. I see you have found Kai."
"I suppose we better start making room for a guest. Kai is staying with us until we return to the city and that's final," I said.
"I don't see why not."
"Come on, Kai. Time to start heading home."
"I'm right beside you, sis," Kai said.
Soon we were making our way back to the bounty, happy thoughts in my mind. I'm glad we were heading home.
I FIGURED YOU GUYS WERE TIRED OF WAITING FOR THIS CHAPTER TO COME OUT, SO I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE THIS TO YOU. AS A GIFT FROM ME.
