Tori and Blake sat in the cavern together. After making out for what seemed like hours-very sweet, incredible, beautiful hours-the two stopped and just sat there holding one another. Tori wanted to enjoy being in his arms, but something that she had pushed back in her mind began clawing it's way to the surface.

"What are we going to tell the others?" She asked softly. Blake looked at her. He looked as though he had been pondering the same thing.

"I don't know." He said honestly. "I really don't.."

"I doubt their going to be very happy about it." Tori sighed.

"Oh yeah." Blake agreed. Tori thought for a second and smiled.

"It feels like we're Romeo and Juliet or something." She chuckled gently. Blake smiled.

"Right. Although, I kind of hope we don't have to parallel the ending." He said. Tori laughed.

"Yeah, the whole dying young thing doesn't sound that appealing." She joked. Blake laughed. He held her hand up and kissed the back of her palm gently.

"I don't want anything to come between us." He said, his voice in a serious tone. Tori looked at him.

"But, there is." She said. Blake looked down.

"Yeah."

"We're fighting on opposite sides here. You want to kill my sensei, and I have to stop you." Blake didn't like the way this was all sounding, he looked up at her fear in his eyes.

"Do you regret what just happened just now?" He asked. Tori looked into his eyes, seeing his fear. She thought for a bit and then leaned in and kissed him.

"No." She whispered. She leaned back against him. "I just wish the circumstances where different."

"Right." He said, feeling a little at ease at the fact that Tori wasn't regretting their kissing.

"I kind of don't want to go back now." She said softly. "I mean, back home and all, we have to fight, but not here. Here we can just be here and be happy." There was a bit of bitterness and pain in her voice. She had been attracted to Blake the moment they met at Storm Chargers. And when she found out he was the navy thunder ranger, she had been hurt. She couldn't believe she'd fallen for the bad guy. But..He wasn't bad. He saved her. And now they were together, and she didn't want to let that go. But she knew she'd have to.

"The idea sounds appealing." Blake smirked, trying to cheer her up. "We can stay here, start our own civilization." He said suggestively. Tori laughed.

"Don't count your chickens buddy." She laughed. "Just because we made out doesn't mean we're suddenly going to start sleeping together or something."

"A guy could hope." Blake grinned. Tori smacked his arm playfully.

"And a girl can kick the guy's butt, don't go there." She smiled sweetly. Blake laughed.

"Right." He said. "Mental note: Don't tick off a girl who could easily wipe the floor with you."

"Correct." Tori said. She laid her head against his shoulder.

"Although," Blake began, smirking. "Hunter and I have been giving you guys a run for your money."

"Who's to say I haven't been going easy on you?" She smirked.

"Well, have you?" He asked.

"Maybe." She laughed. "I'm too comfortable in this spot to get up and prove to you that I so could kick your ass though."

"Yeah, I could think of better things to do then fight." Blake smiled as he kissed her.

Cam finally teleported the three guys to the island. After almost an hour of watching Blake and Tori making out, they were relived to see they decided to take a break. Dustin had jokingly suggested that they get there before those two decided to go for another go at it, and the others whole- heartedly agreed.

"So, where do you think they are?" Shane asked the other two.

"They looked like they were in some sort of cave." Hunter said.

"All right, let's look for a cave." Dustin said. They headed deeper into the island.

They stopped as they finally saw a cave. They looked at each other.

"Should we go in and see if they're in there?" Dustin asked. Hunter and Shane looked at him. The two took a step back.

"After you." Shane said. No part of him wanted to walk in there to see Tori and Blake in the middle of round two of their Make-out Fest.

"Me?" Dustin blanched. "Why?"

"You've known Tori the longest." Hunter pointed out.

"Oh yeah." He turned to go to the cave and stopped. "Wait a minute!" He said. "You're Blake's brother, so you've known him the longest!"

"Damn, I was hoping you were dumb enough not to realize that." Hunter smirked. Dustin gave him a dirty look.

"All right, all right, there's got to be a fair way to do this." Shane said. "The one who's closest to the cave goes. Have fun Dustin."

"What?!" Dustin said. "That's not fair!"

"You are closest man." Hunter said.

"Stop forcing me to go in there." Dustin said. He sighed. "How about rock, paper scissors?" He suggested.

())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((

Blake and Tori looked up, hearing voices from outside the cave. Familiar voices. They looked at each other.

"You don't think.." Blake began.

"Apparently the guys found us." Tori said. They got up and walked out of the cave to see Hunter, Shane and Dustin huddled together arguing about something.

"Dude! Paper so beats rock!" Dustin yelled. Hunter looked at him.

"What the hell? Where's the logic in that? Rock is indestructible! It could crush the puny paper."

"No." Dustin said. "Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper, and Paper beats rock! Man, don't you know anything?" He said.

"Uh...Guys?" Tori said. The three froze and spun around, seeing Blake and Tori looking at them, their expressions a mix of amusement and confusion. Tori gasped slightly at the sight of Dustin's bruised and battered face. "What the hell happened to you?" She asked. The three guys looked at each other uneasily.

"Uh, I kinda got into a fight." He said. Blake seemed to catch the look Hunter and Dustin gave one another.

"You two..?" He asked. Tori glared at Hunter. Yes, he was the brother of the guy she was into, but no one beats on her friends and gets away with it.

"Well, yeah." Hunter said, not seeing reason to deny it.

"Why?" Tori said coldly. Hunter opened his mouth.

"Uh, let's not dwell on that." Dustin said quickly. He knew that Tori would maim him if she knew he was being overprotective again. He was still sore from the time he decked that guy Dill for being all touchy feely with her. Tori went brutal on him the following day during training. Shane on the other hand, found Tori beating Dustin quite comical, and couldn't pass up the chance to see it.

"Dustin said something along the lines of Blake forcing himself on you and Hunter got a little ticked off." Tori shot a look at Shane.

"You saw us?!" She exclaimed. Shane's smirk disappeared.

"..Uh...Just for a second..Then we totally respected your privacy and left you two alone." Dustin glared at him.

"Oh no you don't." Dustin said. "I'm not going to be the only one getting a beating here. You guys where so watching them the whole time!" Hunter and Shane glared at Dustin.

"Shut up, dirt boy." Hunter said lowly. Tori's jaw hung open. Her eyes narrowed into small angry slits. Dustin and Shane saw this and their faces clouded with fear.

"Uh oh." Shane muttered.

"What?" Hunter asked cluelessly, not afraid of Tori like the other two where.

"Well, you know how when the Incredible Hulk gets really mad he turns green?" Dustin said, he and Shane backed away slowly. "Well, it's like that. When Tori gets that look, severe bodily harm will follow." Hunter smirked and rolled his eyes.

"As if she could-" He turned to look at her, and even he was a little freaked. "OK, she is a little scary." He said. "But still, I mean, come on, she's just one girl." Hunter said. He could take Tori on with one hand behind his back. He and Blake had been trained since they were children. Blake stood by Tori.

"Don't you mean, one girl and one guy?" Blake said. Hunter looked at him.

"Huh?"

"Well, invasion of privacy isn't cool, bro." He said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"You wouldn't fight your own brother." Hunter smiled. He saw that Blake wasn't joking. "Dude.."

"Man, take it from us, run fast, run far." Shane said.

"Sorry, unlike you two chickens, I'm not a coward." Hunter replied.

"Suit yourself, see ya." Dustin took off.

"Man, any other time I would so prove you wrong but.." Shane cast a look at Tori. "Bye." He ran away. Tori was hot on their heels. Hunter looked at Blake. Blake walked over to him, his face stone and emotionless.

"Since when do you spy on me?" Blake asked.

"Right about the same time you started making out with the enemy." Hunter said curtly.

"She's not the enemy. This has nothing to do with them." Blake pointed out.

"They're in our way, aren't they? Therefore, they are the enemies." Hunter replied.

"This doesn't have to be like this." Blake said. Hunter sighed angrily.

"You want to change sides and be with your little girlfriend, go right ahead. But I'm not letting that creep get away with murdering mom and dad."

"I'm not trying to turn against you." Blake said.

"Then what are you trying to do? You have a choice here, bro. Either stick with me and avenge our parents deaths, or stick with the Wind Losers. And just so you know, if you do go with them, I can't guarantee I won't fight you."

Blake looked into his brother's eyes. He knew Hunter meant it. To him, the wind rangers where the enemy, if Blake decided to go with them, he'd be the enemy too. And Hunter would come at him just as hard, if not harder, as the others. He closed his eyes and sighed. He didn't know what to do. Hunter was his only family left. But Tori..Tori was special. He really wanted to be with her. Blake opened his eyes. He knew that right now there was only one decision he had to go with, even if part of him didn't want to.

())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"Man, you'd think she'd be happy to see us, seeing as we came here in hopes of saving her." Shane said as he and Dustin ran away from Tori.

"Come on Tori, we're your buds, you can't kill us!" Dustin yelled back at her.

"Watch me." Tori grunted as she leaped up and landed perfectly right in front of them. The guys stopped. Tori glared at them. "You," she said, looking at Dustin. "Have no right to make any assumptions or be so freaking protective of me."

"Tori, you're my friend." Dustin said. "You're like my sister. Forgive me for wanting to look out for you." Tori sighed, her face softening slightly.

"Dusty." She said, going to what she'd call him before he decided to go by Dustin. "I'm a big girl. I don't need you looking out for me."

"Well, old habits die hard." Dustin smiled. Tori rolled her eyes.

"Need I remind you who was the one who got Jordan to not beat you senseless in third grade?" She smirked.

"Hey, I was going to get him, I had him in this false sense of security, ready to pound when you showed up."

"Sure, sure."

"All right, so, everything's cool now." Shane smiled, throwing an arm around Tori's shoulders. "Great." He said. Tori chuckled and tossed his arm off.

"I don't think so." She said. "You're not off the hook for being a voyeuristic pervert, and Dustin, though his intentions where good, is still a overprotecting buffoon."

"Knew that was too easy." Shane muttered.

"But, you wouldn't hurt your best friend, would you?" Dustin asked. Tori laughed.

"No, I wouldn't." She said. She walked past them and started heading back to Blake and Hunter. Shane and Dustin gave a sigh of relief and turned to follow, only to have a gigantic wave crash on them.

"Dude!" Dustin sputtered as the wave pulled away to reveal him and Shane covered in seaweed. "Using your powers. Not cool."

"Besides, you just said you wouldn't hurt us."

"That doesn't mean I wouldn't splash ya." Tori grinned, looking at them over her shoulder.

()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

The three of them walked back to the cavern, Tori laughing, and Shane and Dustin grumbling as they sloshed behind her. They saw Blake and Hunter standing there, staring at them. Tori felt something was off and walked over to Blake.

"You look so serious. What's wrong?" She asked. Blake said nothing.

"Why don't you just step off, girlie?" Hunter said. "Blake had his fun with you and now everything's back as it should be." Dustin and Shane looked at each other, then at the scene before them. What the hell was going on?

"What are you talking about?" Tori said.

"You really didn't think that Blake was going to just switch sides just because you two played kissy face, did you?" Hunter sneered. Tori's jaw tightened slightly, glaring at Hunter.

"Why don't you let him talk?" She said. She looked at Blake. Blake couldn't bring himself to look into her eyes. He kept them lowered to the sand beneath their feet. "What's going on?" She asked. "I thought you were growing a brain and realizing that a quest for vengeance is wrong. I thought we were going to try and find a way to-"

"You don't regret what happened." Blake said, forcing his voice to sound cold and mean. "But I do." Tori looked at him.

"What?" She choked out. Hunter smirked slightly.

"Let's go. We've got buissness to attend to." He and Blake turned away. Shane and Dustin went to Tori who looked hurt and upset.

"Are you ok?" Shane asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. Tori shook his hand away. She looked at her two friends, her eyes flashing with anger and hatred.

"Tell me you've got my morpher." She said lowly.

"Yeah." Dustin said.

"Hand it over." She said.

"Tori, let's just head back to Ninja Opts, and we'll set out a plan of action when you're not as-"

"Fine I'll do this on my own." She said. She went after Blake's and Hunter's retreating forms.

"We should stop her." Shane said.

"She's beyond ticked off, does she ever listen to reason in that state?" Dustin replied.

Tori caught up to the two guys and launched herself into a kick, slaming her foot against Hunter's back. He fell on the ground and looked at her. Blake turned and saw Tori in a fighting stance.

"Oh, you're asking for it." Hunter growled, scrambling to his feet.

"Attacking someone from behind? A little dishonorable, don't you think?" Blake said, putting an arm out to hold Hunter back.

"You don't know squat about honor, so don't even start." Tori shot back.

"You wanna take us on?" Hunter challenged. "How dumb are you?" Tori ignored Hunter.

"You want to be a major asshole, Blake, that's totally up to you." She said, looking directly at Blake. "But don't think for a second that I'm just going to be a pushover and let you hurt Sensei and Cam."

"Surprising you're not ticked at the geek too." Hunter smirked. "Seeing as he was enjoying the little show you two put on with the rest of us." Tori was a little shocked by that, but decided to ignore that for now, there where other matters to take care of.

"Let's get out of here." Blake said, looking at Hunter. The two teleported off the island. Shane and Dustin ran over to Tori.

"Them leaving..Not good." Dustin said.

"What?" Tori asked.

"Hunter knows where Ninja Opts is." Shane said. Tori's eyes widened.
