I forgot to do disclaimers! I did have it on my document but when I transferred it onto Doc Manager I missed it! So again, this plot is a bit like Shall We Date: Destiny Ninja. I love the game! I don't own Ninjago because I'm only 13 otherwise I would make a lot of changes… Like Cole and Nya should be! Sorry! :P And I only own Sakaya and her family.

Chapter 7

We made our way to the west, heading towards the dark island to fight. I tagged along with Kuri to serve food and be of aid. Plus Zane thought it would be safer for me since there are stone warriors wanting me dead…

"You know, there isn't many girls at all who can keep up through such steep mountains paths." I heard Zane said as he slowed down and rode next to me on a beautiful white stallion. We decided it would be safer if we rode to the dark island then sail there. The bounty would draw attention if we flew it. But Nya's with the bounty to keep it safe.

"It's not because of me, Kuri doing all of the work." I replied and stroked Kuri's chestnut neck. He replied in response by flicking his head and got his white mane into my face. "Kuri!" I giggled.

"However, your horse riding skills are brilliant for a high-ranking girl. Kuri won't be able to get up without your help as well." Zane told me. I smiled softly and continued to stroke Kuri… Only if horses could talk then he could tell me who I was. "I'll be back; I need to check the path ahead."

And Zane rode off to the front.

"Hmph, I've never heard of nobility riding a horse properly." I heard kai said from before. I sighed. "Another reason why you could be an assassin."

"Again Kai, will you ever drop that?" Jay suddenly pulled his horse between the two of us.

"I don't trust her…"

"Well Zane does and he's never wrong especially with his 6th sense. If you and Zane were to have an argument on who's right, he'll have more evidence than you will so drop it." Jay said sternly as he glared at kai. "Sorry about Kai…"

"It's fine…" I sighed.

"Sorry I'm late!" I turned my head around to see a man riding a muddy brown horse coming up to us. Instantly Kai jumped off his horse and leaped onto the man.

"Kai! Wait!" I heard Zane shouted. The man in brown had a look of relief mixed with fear… it was a weird expression. "This is Dareth and he had come to help us…"

"Dareth? Why this stupid bloke?" Kai asked.

"Hey! Watch your mouth!"

"Or what? You want me to beat you like I did before?"

"Kai, enough." Zane said. "The mayor-"

"What mayor? You're prince Zane, there's no more need for mayors and presidents and that kind of stuff." Cole said.

"Since I'm trying to defeat the Stone Army, there's no time for me to politically rule Ninjago so I asked someone to look after the area and-"

"He thought you need help so he asked Dareth?" Lloyd asked. Zane nodded.

"I've improved alright? Come on, let's head on!" He suddenly shouted. I slightly jumped.

"How did you guys meet Dareth?" I whispered silently to Jay.

"He's a wanna-be-ninja. We first met him when we were on the searched for a place to train and we bumped into his dojo. He had a shelf filled of fake trophies and he claimed to be the best but Kai beaten him in less than 10 seconds." Jay told me. "He later on confessed he was a fake when he was about to die but sadly Lloyd saved him…"

"I bet Zane isn't happy about this either." Lloyd whispered as he rode on my right. "Plus he seems much pushier than before…"

"More on, we have to be quicker!" Dareth shouted.

"Who gave you the role to give us orders?" kai asked. To be honest, I actually like Kai in this kind of situation. At least he has the gut to stand up to someone… But still, Dareth sounds like a **** (I don't really like saying the actual bad words… I think I had a couple times in my other stories…)

"I'm just suggesting it."

"It kind of sounded like you were demanding it." Kai huffed. I could see Lloyd and Jay smirking.

"Well now I'm much smarter and I know the right strategy for this battle! Zane doesn't know what he's doing, he's just a robot."

"Oh dear." I heard Lloyd muttered. Suddenly Kai and Cole jumped onto him. Cole too? Had he been listening.

"Don't you dare call Zane a robot!"

"Take it back you bloody f****** ****!" Kai shouted. I jumped from his harsh words.

"Kai, Cole!" Zane shouted and he jumped off his horse to stop the fight. "Jay, Lloyd, help me."

I heard the 2 groan.

"Just let them beat Dareth until a pulp." Lloyd said but Zane gave them both a stern look. They sighed before jumping off and helped Zane to pull apart the fight. I stayed on Kuri. I watched as the tackle pulled apart and Dareth had a busted lip while both Kai and Cole were fine.

"Stop! All 3 of you get a grip!"

"Zane, he had insulted you!" Cole yelled.

"I am very aware of that but that does not change his opinion on me like you don't like him but he doesn't seem to mind. Now let's continue." Zane sighed before letting go of Kai.

"Ummm… Look there's a village!" I shouted, trying to getting them to think about something else than fighting each other.

"Hmmm, who's this pretty girl?"

"Excuse me?" I looked to him than Zane who looked frustrated.

"She's Sakaya."

"I'm an assistant for Lord Zane." I replied. I should be formal a bit I guess… "Once we get somewhere to stay I'll prepare a meal."

"That's sounds good." He said and smiled… Why is he looking at me like that? As we travelled to the village, Dareth rode his horse quiet close to me. The others were also close. Suddenly Lloyd pushed his horse between us two.

"Sakaya what are you going to cook?" he said cheerily.

"Oh ummm…. The usual." I replied. I really don't know what to cook. Suddenly Dareth pushed his horse between both us and nearly knocked Kuri and I over.

"What's the usual?" He asked with a pur in his voice and he wrapped his arm around me.

"Stay away from her!" Zane shouted. I looked to Zane who had slightly pink cheeks. I looked back to Dareth who was surprise and he took his arm off. Thank goodness. "Come on Sakaya."

What's wrong with Zane and the others? Why are they suddenly protective of me and pushing Dareth away? Could it be possible that he's one of those 'flirty' and 'naughty' types of men? Obeying Zane's order, I quickly rode next to him, on the side that was the furthest from Dareth.

When we reached the town, there was a nearby lake so we let our horses have a drink. I stroke Kuri's neck as he drink.

"Good job Kuri. You must be tired." I smiled.

"Hey Sakaya." I heard Jay said.

"Oh, hey Jay." I replied.

"Kuri's a pretty strong horse."

"Yeah…"

"About Dareth, you want to stay away from him." He told me.

"Yeah, I've already figured out why." I said softly.

"Your cooking always makes people in a good mood. How did you know that that topic would work?"

"By his body, he looked like someone who would eat a lot of food." I replied and laughed softly as Kuri's tail swished and hit jay in the face. Kuri, you always know how to make me laugh and smile.

Please review! ;)
