Chapter Two; Home, Training, and a Girl

The large ship landed gently on the top of the dojo. The group of seven climbed out and they made their descent to the dojo entrance. From afar watched a figure dressed in teal clothing. Their emerald green eyes watched intently as they entered. They tensed and ran, hiding in an alley. Their head poked out and they relaxed as soon as they had gone into the dojo.

The teal clad person peered at them from the front window, watching as they talked. Three more people accompanied them. One was dressed in a black kimono, a silky green belt wrapped around his waist. Another was next to him, wearing what looked to be field clothes. It was as if she was ready to run out exploring in the jungle at any moment. The last addition was wearing a simple brown shirt and pants with a funky hairdo.

They talked for a while, and the figure was about to fall asleep when they heard shouting. They scrambled to their feet and fled, hiding in the shadows a few buildings away. Their hood came down and they were panting as they heard the team yelling and talking at the dojo. They let out a sigh of relief when the team left and off they went again.

~Lloyd~

Unsettled, we headed back to the dojo. Lloyd was quite sure it was that girl they met on the island. What was her name again? Oh yeah, Kathryn. At least we were in Ninjago City again. It felt good to be back. Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Cole, and Zane were instructed to get some training in and that is exactly what they did. Though, they had to do it in the Bounty as to not mess up Dareth's dojo.

"Kyah!" Lloyd yelled as he spun around and lashed out with his leg. A grunt sounded as his foot connected with an object. The Green Ninja's eyes narrowed as he heard a small squeak from behind him. He ducked as a blue figure went sailing over him. A flash of red flared in the corner of Lloyd's vision and he turned, springing forward. Kai and Lloyd's fists met, each grinning wildly. They exchanged punches and kicks until an opening was found and the master of fire took it. A red clad foot flew out and connected with the master of power's stomach.

Lloyd groaned, but continued. He slunk down and kicked his leg out. Kai yelped as he was knocked off of his feet and he crashed onto the ground. Lloyd smirked, then called out in surprise when he felt weight on his back. He stumbled a bit, before falling onto the wooden floor with a huff.

"Better luck next time Lloyd." Said Zane as he climbed off of the Green Ninja. Lloyd sighed, nodding.

"Man, that hurt!" Exclaimed Cole as he walked up to the group. He was clutching his side while Jay came up behind him, holding his head.

"Yeah! I crashed into a wall. A wall!"

"Mhm, and it was hilarious!" Kai commented as Jay stuck his tongue out at him. Lloyd chuckled though his mind was elsewhere. He gasped quietly as he noticed a faint outline of someone by the window. He looked closer, taking a small step forward. Then he sprinted forward and the window flew open.

"Hey, wait!" The shape paused, turning around. Long brown hair could be seen framing cautious emerald eyes. "What were you doing?"

"Watching you. Obviously."

"Yeah, well, can you come back here?"

"W-Why?"

"I just have a few questions. Please?" He frowned as the girl moved as if to spring away. "Our Sensei isn't here if thats what you are worried about." He heard a heavy sigh.

"Oh, alright." She turned back, walking over and poking her head through the window. "I have time. Ask away."

~Kathryn's POV~

"Where did you come from?"

"Why were you at the island?"

"Do you like blue?"

"Woah, calm down! One at a time, please." I yelped, blinking in surprise.

"Fine. Why were you at the island when we were battling the robot?" Questioned the black ninja.

"I was there because I was following you."

"Not specific enough."

"I answered it. You didn't set any requirements therefore my answer was perfectly fine."

"Why you-" Cole moved forward only to be stopped by Kai.

"Cole, calm down." He turned to me, "Are you really the master of water? And is your name really Kathryn?"

"Of course my name is Kathryn! Geez." I shook my head in disbelief. They were even more stupid than I imagined! "Also, yes I am the master of water. I-"

"Why didn't Chen need your power?" Kai interjected, looking at me intensely. My eyes widened slightly.

"Uh, because….."

"Yes?"

"Because, uh," I stammered, unsure of whether to reveal it or not. It wouldn't hurt, right?

"Just answer it!"

"Hey!" I sighed. "Because he technically already had my power."

"What..?"

"His daughter, Skyler. We have… history. Anywho, she had it so when he absorbed her powers he also got mine."

"Oh, okay. What kind of-"

"Kai! You've gotten a long turn, let us have one!" Yelled the master of lightning impatiently. "Do you like blue?"

"What am I wearing?" I laughed, then froze as I heard footsteps. "I have to go. I'll meet with you guys some other time, okay?" After that, I left. Running for a few blocks. I knew I would meet them again soon. 'Maybe they aren't that bad. Especially that-' I stopped my train of thought with a scowl. 'What am I thinking? No, just no. But they are nice...' I smiled before dropping down into the small, dark alleyway.
