Hey everybody, here's the next chapter where Kai makes his final decision

Jade: Yeah, poor Kai :( I think Kai approves of Jay and Nya's relationship too, but everyone makes it to where Kai hates it for some reason :/ That's pretty much how I feel when it comes to my favorite ninjas, Kai's my favorite and I like the other ninjas equally. I've only heard 4 vocaloid songs, but they are pretty good :)

Lya200: You guessed right ;)

IloveJay: I knew someone would point this out. Okay, the reason I made Jay act the way he did in the last chapter is because I figured Jay would be furious if something happened to that photo. I needed something to set Jay off and actually make him resort to violent actions. I figured that since the photo was shown in the second to last episode it's something else that Jay holds very dear to his heart, along with Nya, and I figured it would make him enraged if anything happened to it. I hope this cleared up any confusion.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago because, well you know why ;)

Chapter 3

Is that someone always gets burned

(Cole's pov)

It was almost time for dinner, I was sitting at the table in the kitchen with Nya sitting across from me and Zane finishing up what he was cooking. I don't think Jay and Kai would miss out on Zane's cooking, in fact I don't think any of us would. According to all of us, Zane's cooking is legendary. Wait a minute, I'm getting off track here! Anyway, back to Jay and Kai, seriously where are those two?

I was starting to think about looking for them, when Jay suddenly stormed in, he looked pretty mad about something. Jay didn't say a word, he just walked in and plopped down in his seat right next to Nya. I was about to ask if he knew where Kai was, but that's when Kai walked in. He looked terrible! He had a black eye with blood just flowing out of his nose, the rest of his face was also bloodstained, he also looked as if he was in a lot of pain.

We all just sat there, staring in shock at Kai's injuries. Kai didn't say anything, all he did was slowly walk towards the table and sit down right next to me. Seriously, what happened to Kai!? It looks as if he got into a bad fight. Wait a minute, Jay's anger and Kai's injuries. That can only mean one thing.

I looked at Jay and asked furiously, "Jay, what did you do!?"

"What did I do!? The real question is what did he do!?", Jay yelled while throwing a photo of him and Nya on their second date, which was torn in half.

All of us just stared at the photo in disbelief.

"Kai, did you do this?", Nya asked, sounding hurt.

"No, I'd never do something like this! It wasn't me!", Kai protested.

"I don't want to hear your excuses Kai, all the evidence points to you since I also found this next to it!", Jay objected while throwing down a piece of red cloth.

I couldn't believe this, did Kai tear that photo in half? Even if he did, Jay didn't have to beat the crud out of him. I was about to say something, but that's when Zane spoke up.

"I am sure that Kai didn't mean to cause any harm. It was probably just an accident."

"An accident, AN ACCIDENT!? I know Kai did it on purpose, he never approved of me and Nya being together in the first place!" Jay shouted angrily.

"That still doesn't mean you can rough him up like that!" I argued with Jay.

This started a huge argument between me and Jay about what Kai did. Zane would try to break it up, but it was no use. Meanwhile, Nya was trying to see if Kai was okay, but all he did was turn his head in shame.

This went on for a while, until we heard a voice shouting at us.

"What's going on here!?"

We turned and saw that standing in front of the door was Sensei Wu.

He immediately noticed Kai's face. "What happened?", he asked, concerned.

"It was Jay Sensei, he beat Kai up pretty bad.", I explained to him.

"Only because he deserved it! That jerk tore my photo of Nya and I in half!", Jay argued.

"I told you I didn't do it!"

"ENOUGH!", Sensei shouted abruptly.

"Yes Sensei.", We all said in inusion. (I have no idea how to spell this word)

"Jay, I know Kai can be reckless, but that is no excuse to pick a fight. Apologize at once!", Sensei commanded.

"I'm sorry I beat you up like that.", Jay apologized, although he didn't sound very sorry.

"Come on Kai, I'll help you get cleaned up.", Nya said while helping Kai get up.

After that, she helped to escort Kai out of the room. I just hope he's okay.

(Kai's pov)

Nya and I were in the bathroom, trying to wash the blood off my face. I was in the front of the sink, cupping my hands so I could splash the water on my face.

"Kai, I am so sorry about what Jay did, I don't know what he was thinking.", Nya told me, sounding frantic.

I know what he was thinking, that I was a waste of space. But I decided to not let her worry about me. It didn't matter anyway, I'd already made my decision, I was leaving early tomorrow morning and never coming back.

"It's okay Nya", I assured her. "I've been in worse situations."

"I'll talk to Jay for you, I know he'll listen to me.", Nya insisted.

"Nya, I'm fine. I can take care of myself, you of all people should know that.", I told her, trying to calm her down.

"I just want to make sure your okay Kai, your my brother and I don't want anything to happen to you.", She explained to me with tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Nya, everything will be okay, I promise.", I reassured Nya while wiping away her tears.

She just gave me a small smile and said, "Alright, if you say so."

We then gave each other a family hug and went back into the kitchen for dinner. After dinner Nya had a talk with Jay, but I didn't listen to what they were saying, I was leaving early this morning before anyone wakes up anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Later that night, when everyone was still asleep, I felt a little electric shock jolt me awake. I quickly looked at the little wrist band I put on my arm last night, it was a kind of wristband that Jay made, which gives someone an electric shock when you insert the correct time you want. This time I set it for five o'clock this morning, the others wont be waking up until six, so I had some time to get ready.

I decided I shouldn't tell Nya, she'll be much happier here with Jay. I grabbed my flame sword, quietly changed into my ninja clothes, left a not on the table where our alarm clock was, and left the bounty. While I was walking towards the forest, I kept thinking about Zuko, I know he said I could join him, but I don't want him to hurt anyone else. Even if I do join him he'll probably just keep slaughtering innocent people.

know what I have to do, I'll just kill him myself and leave to find somewhere else to live. I know it's gonna be hard for Nya to handle, but no one else wants me there anyway. After I was halfway into the forest, I noticed that the sky was starting to turn orange from the approaching dawn. It's probably almost six o'clock, everyone will be waking up soon and see that I'm gone.

I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a voice above me.

"Hello again Kai."

I quickly looked up and saw that Zuko was lying in one of the tree branches, looking down at me.

"I see that you have decided to come back.", Zuko said while making his way down.

"That's right Zuko, and I've made my decision.", I told him.

Zuko then leaped down from one of the low branches of the tree, landing on his feet like a cat.

"And what is your decision Kai?", He asked me in that sly tone of voice.

"I've decided to join you.", I said while secretly reaching for my sword.

Zuko then smiled evilly and said, "Good."

He then lunged at me, pinning me down before I could even grab my sword.

"What are you doing? I said I would join you!" I shouted, confused.

"And you can, but first I have to make sure you don't deceive me.", Zuko explained to me venomously.

I can't believe I fell for this, he tricked me! Zuko just wanted to lure me out here so he could easily get rid of me before he moved onto my friends! I was so mad, I struggled to get free, but Zuko was pretty strong.

"All I have to say now is that I'll be seeing you later.", Zuko said with an evil glint in his eyes.

I felt his sharp teeth sink into my arm, I cried out in pain, and then everything turned black.

(Jay's pov)

I woke up the next morning to hear our alarm going off. Ugh, why do we always have to get up so early!? Can't we at least sleep in for another hour or so? I tried to block out the sound, but unfortunately Cole got pretty annoyed.

"Jay, could you get the alarm already!? It's your turn to cook breakfast!", He said, sounding very irritated.

"Alright, alright, I'm going!", I sleepily said, while walking towards the alarm.

I quickly walked towards the alarm and shut it off.

I turned towards Cole who just grumpily said, "Thanks."

After that he turned back over in his bed. I saw that Zane didn't even stir, he was still sleeping peacefully in his bed. Seriously, how does he do that!? I also noticed that Kai wasn't in his bed at all, maybe he already got up for breakfast. Speaking of Kai, after dinner Nya talked to me about what happened and I guess I kinda did overreact a bit.

I mean, Kai did look like he was sorry, so I guess I might as well give him a proper apology. In fact, I'll go apologize right now! I quickly made my way to the kitchen.

"Look Kai, I just want to say that I'm sorry about beating you up yesterday, I realized that it wasn't very-" I cut myself off when I realized that Kai wasn't here.

"Kai? Kai!? Are you here!?", I asked while frantically looking around the bounty.

I looked in the control room, no Kai. I knocked on the bathroom door, but no one answered. I slowly opened the door and saw that Kai wasn't there either. I looked out on deck, but Kai wasn't there either!

"Kai! Where are you!?", I shouted while running down the hall.

I guess I was making too much noise, because that's when Cole, Zane, and Nya came out of their rooms.

"For crying out loud Jay, what's with all the noise!?", Asked Cole, who sounded really annoyed this time.

"Guys, we have a big problem. Kai's gone!", I told them anxiously.

"What!?", They all shouted in shock.

"Kai...left?", Nya asked, sounding distraught.

"Are you sure?", Cole asked, not wanting to believe it.

"I'm sure Cole, I checked the kitchen, the bathroom, the control room, and out on deck, but I can't find him!", I shouted, panicking.

"Jay, calm down. I am sure there is a reason Kai is gone.", Zane said calmly.

I knew it was my fault Kai's not here, but I decided to do what Zane said and calm down, for now that is. We all went into the room the four of us shared to look for clues. Nya was checking Kai's bed, Cole was looking under our beds, and Zane was investigating every other corner of the room. I was helping them look when I spotted what looked like a slip of paper on the little table we used for the alarm clock.

I would have noticed it when I woke up this morning, but I was too tired. I picked up the slip of paper and called the others.

"Hey guys, I think I found something!"

Everyone quickly gathered around me while I read the note.

Dear everyone,

By now you guys have probably noticed that I'm gone.

Since you guys hate me and don't want me around

anymore, I decided to leave. You guys wont miss me,

so goodbye forever. And Nya, don't try to come looking

for me, I know you'll be happier if you stay with Jay

and the others.

From your former brother, Kai

Aw man, this is all my fault! I went too far, I shouldn't have battered Kai like that, I shouldn't have told him 'Screw you', I shouldn't have yelled at him. Now Kai thinks he's not wanted around here anymore and theirs a good chance he's never coming back!

As soon as I finished reading the letter, Nya started crying, Cole looked shocked, and Zane looked worried. I walked up to Nya and tried to comfort her.

"Nya, it's okay. We'll find him, I promise.", I assured her.

"I-I'm just worried about him Jay, what if we don't find him?", Nya choked out in between sobs.

"Don't worry, we will bring him back home.", I promised her.

With that said, we all walked out on the deck of the bounty in our ninja attire. We were wondering where we should start looking, when we heard an agonizing scream. Wait a minute, I'd recognize that scream anywhere, that was Kai's scream!

Oooooo, cliffhanger! Will the other ninja find Kai in time? Will Kai even survive? R and R everybody, the next chapter will come in time ;)
