I am so sorry for not adding anything to this for a while :( it's actually quite difficult to find peace to write without being interrupted, gah.

Anyway I hope you all enjoy this latest one shot! I know I enjoyed writing it ;)

And a big thank you to agent pebble, A Huge Fangirl, and toothlessturtle21 for your lovely reviews on Hairbrush! xxx

Kai was mortified.

He was standing right outside the door that led to the ninjas shared quarters aboard The Bounty.

And yet, he couldn't go in.

Rephrase…

He didn't want to go in.

Because, when Kai approached the door to enter, just as he placed his hand on the doorknob, he suddenly froze.

Muffled sounds from inside the room drifted to his ear, sounds that made him stop in his tracks and listen more carefully.

Raising a scarred eyebrow, Kai pressed his ear to the door..

"Ohh yeah that's good!"

His eyes widened.

"Yeaahhh ohh that feels wonderful!"

His face paled.

"Come on Jay harder! Ohh that's it, that's the spot!"

By this point Kai's face was now drained of all colour, but still he was frozen to the spot, unable to bring himself to move as he stood in utter disbelief.

"Go harder Jay, that's it! Come on faster buddy, yeah that's it! Ooohhhh yeah, you are amazing Jay!"

Kai's mind was on autopilot as he literally didn't know what to think, on the one hand he thought he knew what was happening, but on the other he didn't want to think about the possibility, couldn't even begin to bring himself to think what might possibly be going on.

But now he was stuck between …well, for lack of a better phrase, "a rock and a hard place."

On the one hand, if he went inside, he may become scarred for life. On the other, if he left to poke out his mind's eye and pretend he heard nothing, the idea of poor innocent Lloyd walking in instead was even worse.

And if Nya..

Oh no.

Nya!

What would she think? What could he tell her? Should he even tell her? So many question yet he couldn't think how to answer a single one!

Thus he was trapped here, unwillingly guarding the door whilst having to endure the onslaught of sounds that were messing with his mind more than he cared to admit.

They didn't just happen every now and then either, giving Kai some respite in-between, ohhh no. Even in-between..outcries, Kai also picked up heavy breathing and gasps at rapid intervals, which did not help the images flooding his mind.

It was at this moment however that a certain nindroid also happened to walk up to Kai, also looking to enter the room.

"Why hello Kai, are you going inside?" Zane continued walking up to the door, and just as he reached his out to grab the doorknob..

"Wait Zane, don't!"

Zane's hand froze on the doorknob.

He raised an eyebrow and looked back at Kai "Is there something wrong?"

"Well..I..just..don't go in there, I uh.."

"What is the matter Kai? You know, you look you've seen a ghost, your face is rather pale." Zane stepped back from the door and raised an eyebrow as he studied Kai's face, unable find the source of Kai's distress.

Kai took a deep breath before trying to explain, "Jay and Cole, they're um…how do I put this.." Kai reached a hand to the back of his neck; he was a bundle of nerves trying to think of how to explain what was happening when he himself didn't know for sure.

That and he was an advocate of thinking if he didn't say it out loud then he could still pretend it wasn't true, but how to tell Zane?

"They're..they're, I think they're..having, relations.."

Zane cocked his head, "Relations? Are we getting visitors from their families?"

Kai sighed in frustration while running a hand through his hair; he really didn't want to get into this.

"Not that kind of relations! You know, relations! They're.. together and doing.. what two people usually do together? In private?

Kai gave him a pleading look, clearly not wishing to elaborate further

Thankfully Zane finally caught on with an "ohh". He chewed on that thought for moment before shooting Kai a sceptical look.

"Wait, you think Jay and Cole are..?" Zane looked at the door, and then back at Kai, "Oh Kai, you are being ridiculous, how could you possibly think that.."

"OOHHHH keep going, keep going faster, that's it Jay!"

Suddenly Zane's face froze mid-sentence.

"I told you!" Kai yelled, now finally glad that someone besides him believed what was going on.

Zane put a hand to his chin, "That..sure sounded like Cole. But, they couldn't possibly be doing what we think they are…could they? Surely they wouldn't be.."

"I don't know what to tell you man, they are pretty close after all."

"Come on Jay harder, as hard as you can! Oohhh yeah that's better!"

Red and White both looked at the door, then back to each other.

An awkward silence filled the space between them for several moments before Zane's gears decided to start functioning again. "But..for them to be doing…this? In a room we all share? Surely they are aware we go in there a lot?"

"Don't ask me, ask them!"

"You know what? I think I just might!" Zane reached for the doorknob once again.

"Wait Zane don't open that do-!" Kai's hands covered his face just as Zane turned the doorknob, he couldn't bear to witness the scene inside.

Zane opened the door and confidently looked in.

"Oh hi Zane!" A cheerful Jay greeted him.

"Well hello Jay." Zane replied, and strode further into the room.

This was not what Kai was expecting to hear. Now thoroughly confused, he deemed it safe to peek out from between his fingers..

..and gaped at the scene before him.

Cole was just sitting on a stool.

And Jay was standing behind him, slightly bent over..

….scratching his back.

Jay was scratching Cole's back.

And Cole clearly loved it, if the pleasurable expression on his face was any indication.

That's what all the noise was about!?

A hand flew to his heart as Kai almost collapsed in utter relief.

Despite their presence, Jay continued scratching Cole's back vigorously. It was at that moment that Kai noticed with much amusement, (he had to stifle a snort,) that Cole's left foot was kicking slightly in response, strikingly similar to how a dogs leg would start twitching when its belly was being scratched.

Unabashed by the intruders, Jay looked up and smiled "Hey guys! Need something?"

Kai simply stared in bemusement. "That…that's what you guys were doing?"

Zane looked back at Kai with a smug expression.

Jay cocked his head and looked back down at Cole, never pausing in his scratching. Cole however seemed too far gone in bliss to even notice anyone else was there.

"Um..yeah? Cole had been complaining of an itch in the middle of his back that he couldn't reach so he asked me to help him out, why, is something wrong?"

"Ohhh yeah that's good!"

Kai and Zane shared a look from Cole's sudden outburst.

Jay looked between them, thoroughly confused at their expressions. "Is something wrong? Did you think we were doing something else?"

Jay looked back down at Cole, who may as well be drooling with such a blissful expression on his face, and looked back up again at the two with wide eyes.

Still never pausing in scratching his friends back, Jay replied "Wait, you didn't …think what I think you're thinking..did you?" He raised an eyebrow at them.

Kai and Zane looked at each other nervously.

"Uhh..of course not!"

"Why would we ever think such a thing?"

"We'd never think that, would we Zane?"

"Of course not!"

Both Kai and Zane gave Jay sheepish grins before scarpering out the door, leaving the two best friends alone once again.

Jay wrinkled his forehead after them. How dare they think that of him! What possible indication was there anyway? What was it that made them think-

"Ohhh yeahh man that's good!"

Jay looked down at Cole.

Oh.

Ohhhh.

Jay was mortified.
