Ninja Spirit: A Whole New Adventure
Part 3: Meeting
Note: the girls left WAY before the guys did. SO naturally they arrived before them. Oh yeah and when Grandpa Mori called on the phone the girls were already there. So I'll put the day difference based on the guys i.e. see the beginning....
******
2 days earlier....
(Storm's Point of View)
I don't know why I did it, I seriously didn't mean to. Ok so I did, but now that I sit here in Mr. Mori's living room, in the corner I add, I realize that I should've thought it through first. I mean who woulda thunk that Natter could get utterly lost in the forest. (sighs) Ok I knew what I was doing, but I honestly am sorry about it! I didn't want her to get lost, well REALLY lost. I always enjoyed torturing Natter but when I heard her screaming I knew I had gone too far....
~~~FLASHBACK~~~
"Are we there yet?" Natter whined in the backseat.
Mr. Miller shook his head and was interuppted by Storm, "Does it look like it dufuss?!"
Ruby sighed beside Mr. Miller, "Storm could you keep it down please?"
Storm mumbled slightly, "Fine whatever...wake me up when we get there!" And with that she pulled her baseball cap down so it covered her face and adjusted her ponytail so it hung lightly in the back.
"Oh you jerk!" Natter said and threw a pixie stick at the 'sleeping' Storm who was next to her. Storm squeaked as it hit her and exploded.
"NATTER!" She screamed causing Mr. Miller to swerve slightly on the road. Storm gorwled and grabbed a peice of taffy. Unwrapping it she shoved it down Natter's throat.
Ruby cried out and dove back into the back and attempted to pull Storm off of the younger girl, "Stop it you two!"
Storm grunted and slapped Ruby away. She flinched and stopped though when she realized what she'd done.
Ruby sat back down gripping her cheek with almost red eyes. "Whatever..."
Natter coughed and sputtered slightly as Mr. Miller stopepd the car on the side of the road, "Storm that was UNCALLED FOR!"
Storm sighed and pulled her cap back down, "Just leave me alone...."
Mr. Miller breatehd deeply befoer turnign the car back down and driving again. Just as he got on the road he spotted the turnoff. "Hold on!" He swirved sharply and smirked as Storm yipped in the back seat and gripped onto her seatbelt. Honks and yells off disagreement came behind them but they paid it no head.
Storm composed herself again and attemtped to go back to sleep. Just as she was drifting off...
"Are we there yet?"
"ARRGHH!!!!!!" Ruby cried and looked back with a glare at Natter, "WOuld you stop it already?!"
Natter rolled her eyes and shut her mouth.
5 minutes later....
"Alright girls we're here!" Mr. Miller said and set the map down.
Natter gasped at the sight while Storm grinned and opened the door before jumping out. A second later a groan came from the ground.
"My leg's are asleep!"
Ruby rolled her eyes as she stepped out of the KIA and over Storm.
Storm sighed and sat up stretching her legs. Suddenly a figure catapulted itself at her. She squeaked and attemtped poorly to avoid it. "YIKES!" She rolled under the car and out the otherside and got to her feet wobbling slightly.
The figure, which had jumped back to where it came form sighed from the treetops, "I expected better Corey."
Mr. Miller's eyes widened and he bowed, "Sensei!"
Mr. Mori got off his perch in the tree and stood in front of the slightly taller man, his hands behind his back. He looked at Corey with a small smile on his face, "From the stories you told me I thought they were more skilled than this."
Corey blushed deeply and hung his head.
Storm gaped at the little oriental man, "HEY THAT'S NOT TRUE!" She stepped around the car and put her hands on her hips, "My legs were asleep!"
Mr. Mori moved his glasses down his nose, "A true ninja never makes excuses."
Storm balled her fists together and jumped for him.
Mr. Mori rolled his eyes and dodged her.
Storm grunted as she slammed into the gorund, "Owwie!"
Corey blushed harder, "Oh I'm sorry sensei!" He glared at Storm, "She wasn't thinking correctly."
"No, no....She's got spunk...." Mr. Mori said with a small laugh before motioning for them to follow.
They all did so, excpet for Natter and Storm.
"Hey Natter!" Storm said and pointed towards the forest. "Wanna go check it out?"
"How about..not!" Natter said and picked her bag up.
Storm grinned and took the bag from her before spriniting for the forest calling behind her, "Come and get me if you can slow poke!"
Natter followed yelling the whole way.
A little while later Storm stopped, panting slightly, and with a grin jumped into a tree and hung Natter's backpack on the highest branch.
She jumped back and down and ran back twards the cabin. With her ability at tracking it took her about two minutes.
But when she reached the cabin she held her laughter in as she saw the angry looks on the other three faces. "What?"
And that's when it happened.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
~~~END FLASHBACK~~~
That's how I got here. See Mr. Mori and pops didn't think to highly of me leaving Natter in the forest.
"Ahh poor little Stormy!" I looked up as Ruby taunted me from across the room.
I could literally hear myself growl. "Why don't you come over here and say that bimbo!"
Suddenly a sharp pain hit the side of my head. I groaned and blinked out the little stars enough to see Mr. Mori. He shook the newspaper at me before picking up the phone, which was on the hook beside me.
HE dailed a few numbers before putting the phone to his ear and winking at me. "..Hullo Sam! You're still moving?...OH well I have a surprise for the boys; My old apprentice has moved here with his three ninjas. I plan on training them with the boys this summer....oh please don't tell them yet though...thanks Sam...oh and tell them something for me will you....A Ninja should expect the unexpected, be ready for a whole new adventure...oh yes I'll meet you tomorrow...Goodbye!"
Ok by now I was literally squirming in my seat....three new ninjas...new BOY ninjas! I gulped slightly as Mr. Mori hung the phone up and smiled at me.
He placed a finger to his lips, "Shush...mums the word." He then started walking down the hallway towards his room, "You can stay there until dinner time Ms. Storm."
I pouted slightly at this. Not fair!
Today.....
(Colt's Point of View)
It didn't seem to take far as long as usual to get to grandpa's as I thought it would. Well ok so mom was speeding a little, but still! I even thought I saw dad reach for his siren from behind us in the car. That would've been a sight; dad pulling mom over in the uhal....I laughed at the thought. (AN: I know he's a detective but in this fic he got put down to a police officer!)
"What's got you all happy?" Rocky laughed from the front next to mom.
I shook my head at him and reached over and stole Tum's last tootsie roll. I popped it into my mouth and glanced at Tum Tum and his puddle of drool. "Nothing but hey Rocky are we close?"
Rocky smiled at me cheesily as the uhal came to a stop. "Does that answer your question?"
I rolled my eyes at him and leaned over Tum grinning, "Oh Tum Tum dinner time."
Tum's eyes popped open and he grinned at me, "Are we there?"
"Yes were here you dolt!" I grinned back and kicked Rocky through the seat, "Are you gonna get up lazy bones?"
"Oh shut it Spaz!" Rocky said before getting out and walked around to open the door to the back part of the uhal where we were stuck.
I flexed my legs as I jumped out of the back and unconciously looked around. My dad pulled up seconds later honking the whole way.
He stuck his head out the window, "You boys stay here with grandpa for the night ok? We'll stop by around dinner and give you some clothes."
Rocky laugehd and waved dad off, "Don't worry dad! Just get going and start unpacking!"
"Samuel you better be good or I'll make you come back tonight!" Mrs. Douglas shouted from the front of the van and started it back up.
Rocky blew a kiss to mom, "I love you too!"
I mimicked him slightly and blew a kiss to dad, who drove on by, turning around as he was just getting out of sight and giving us the 'look.'
Tum Tum's stomach growled and he grinned sheepishly, "Let's go see if grandpa has any food k?"
We all walked towards the front door but I lagged behind. Coming to a complete stop I looked up. I hadn't even noticed it was night. A star twinkled mischieviously at me and I noted to myself that the first star I saw was the North Star.
"COlt?" I heard Rocky's voice beside me and I lowered my head back down. Rocky smiled that affectinate brother smile he always had when I did something to make him proud.
"What?"
"Oh nothing...but hey come on before Tum Tum eats all the food." He said and started walking towards the front door again where Tum was waiting for us. I blinked and walked behind Rocky.
"Why didn't he just go in?"
"I told him to wait for you." rocky said with an amused grin.
I shook my head again and ran my right hand through my hair. We all stood in fornt of grandpas house in a line, tallest to shortest, left to right.
Just as i reached up to knock on the door it opened and grandpa's large grin was there instead of the door. I grinned and moved my hand from where it had almost been knocking on his forehead, "Hey gramps!"
(Third Person Point of View)
"Hello boys!" Mori said and opened the door the rest of the way, glancing briefly behind him, and let the boys come in. "Your just in time, dinner's ready."
Tum Tum instantly ran full speed towards the kitchen, and the other two briskly walked along not even stopping to glance in the living room.
"Oh my god!" Ruby said as the kitchen door closed behind the boys. "Did you see em Storm?!"
Storm's neck and head lawled back and forth inbetween her sister's hands. "St-St-Stop i-i-it!"
Natter laughed and continued trying to balance on her head, "I sure saw them! They look like they were straight from the Stupid Boys Academy."
Storm slashed Ruby's arm with a sideswipe and jumped towards the couch, gasping for air, "I don't think so Natter!" She smiled and nodded towards the door they had entered, "They look kinda like there from California but they sure are stupid! They aren't even good ninjas I mean they didn't even see us!"
"Hey why don't we go and make sure they SEE us." Natter giggled and balanced perfectly on her head.
"Ohhh...good idea Nat!" Ruby whispered and grabbed Storm's arm.
Storm smirked, "I got an idea...."
Ruby and Natter listened intently to her plan with twinkling eyes.
"SLAM!" Rocky's head shot up from his plate as the side door to the kitchen flew open and connected with the wall.
Grandpa Mori took another bite from his pasta and followed Rocky's gaze. With a small smile he continued eating, "Why don't you boys go and see what that was."
Colt shoved his plate away from him, "Sure, besides I'm full anyways."
"Nah ou uys go on oer own!" Tum said through a moutful and Grandpa glared at him making him swallow it all before getting up, "Sure thing gramps!"
Grandpa Mori gave Mr. Miller, who was standing in the doorway behind him a small half-smile as the boys tentivley walked out the door, in defense mode.
Storm whistled from the trees to the right of the house. Rocky looked towards the sound and nodded descretitly towards the tree looking at COlt.
Colt nodded at his brother and walked towards the willow tree.
Natter giggled and broke a branch purposely form the acorn tree, while Ruby russled the leaves at the foot of the pine tree.
Tum Tum whined slightly and Rocky grunted, "Tum you get the one in the tree I'll get the one down here." he whispered before jumping towards the 'shadow' in front of him.
Storm snorted and through a rock from her pocket down at Colt. "score!" She said as she hit him right between the eyes.
"Ow!" COlt said before jumping up towards the tree. "WHo's there?"
He landed on the branch next to hers and Storm shot her foot out breaking that branch. But right before he fell he jumped towards her and grabbed the branch above her head and kicked her in the stomach.
"Oof!" She cried and teetered. As she fell backwards she wrapped her leg around his ankle and pulled, causing them both to fall towards the ground. She coughed slightly as they landed his knee in her stomach.
"Do you mind?!" She growled and flipped him off of her.
Colt's voice cracked slightly, "A...a girl?!"
Storm grinned and pressed a palm to his adam's apple and pinned him down, "What never seen one before?"
Colt sputtered going red in the face.
Rocky walked aorund the other side of the tree for the fifth time and dove towards the figure. Not expecting this they both rolled on the ground wrestling slightly. A crack went throughout the forest and a soft wail came from the girls throat, "You broke my nail!"
Rocky cried out as her fist contacted with his jaw and fell back on the gorund.
Ruby stood up and kicked him in the side, "Your lucky I didn't want to hurt you! Jerk I just got a manicure!"
Rocky narrowed his eyes and tried to make the face out but instead found himslef saying, "You got some nerve!"
"I'VE got nerve? YOU'VE got nerve!" RUby leaned towards him, "You know if I didn't think you were so cute I'd have to break your neck for breaking my nail!"
Rocky's eyes widened and he shot his hand out attempting to shake her hand, "Hi I'm Samuel Douglas! But you can call me Rocky!"
Ruby sighed and shook his hand lazily, "OH I'm honored...really I am...."
"rocky..." Tum Tum whispered and looked around in the darkness.
Natter yawned, she had waited in the tree just like Storm had said for the perfect moment to jump at the boy, but it hadn't come. Her patience leaving her Natter jumped down and tapped the boy on the shoulder, "Hi!"
Tum Tum spun aorund and amazingly wasn't shocked at all, "Oh..it's you I thought you were in the living room!"
Natter humphed and crossed her arms, "Well if you saw us why didn't you stop and say hi or something?"
Tum shrugged, "Food was in the kitchen..and if I'm lucky grandpa won't eat it all before I get back."
Natter's eyes gleamed, "Well let's go make sure he doesn't! That pasta was good!"
Tum's jaw dropped and he ran along side her, "Oh ok...my name's Tum Tum by the way."
Natter grinned, "Natter, nice to meet you!"
Storm growled as she saw Natter run back in the house, "Hey where do you think your-oh forget it!" SHe looked back down at Colt who she sucessfully had pinned to the ground. "Oh come on...even without training you should be able to get me off of you! I'm not even trying!"
Colt snarled at her, "I don't hit girls!"
She rolled her eyes, "Well at least TRY and defend yourself! I'd feel bad beating you up!"
Colt rolled his eyes and looked over at Rocky, "I won't fight a girl!"
"What afriad I'll hurt you?" SHe grinned and let him go.
He snorted and got to his feet facing her, "Oh I'm SO sure! Like YOU could beat me up!"
Storm's face contorted in anger, "You sexist pig!"
Colt's fist closed and opened before he huffed and walked towards his brother. "I don't need this!"
Storm's jaw slacked, "Oh you are NOT walking away from me! THAT'S IT I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!"
At the shout RUby took her hand from Rocky's and looked over his shoulder just in time to see Storm dive for her 'victim.' Ruby groaned and pointed towards them, "Oh great do you wanna end this or do I have ta break another nail?"
Colt grabbed her from behind and tried to keep her legs from hitting him all the while taking in his surroundings. A litle step to the right and perhaps he could reach one of the hoses and tie her up....
Rocky gaped at seeing his brother grab her, "COlt let her go!"
Storm stopped moving and snickered, "COlt? What kind of name is that?"
Ruby rolled her eyes, "Oh stuff it Storm!" She grinned, "I think its cute."
Storm snorted and struggled once mroe, "You would!"
Colt looked over her shoulder at her face, "Are you done?"
"Yeah yeah...just let me go already before I kill all chances of you having children!"
Colt instantly let her go and stepped back.

At the shout RUby took her hand from Rocky's and looked over his shoulder just in time to see Storm dive for her 'victim.' Ruby groaned and pointed towards them, "Oh great do you wanna end this or do I have ta break another nail?"
Colt grabbed her from behind and tried to keep her legs from hitting him all the while taking in his surroundings. A litle step to the right and perhaps he could reach one of the hoses and tie her up....
Rocky gaped at seeing his brother grab her, "COlt let her go!"
Storm stopped moving and snickered, "COlt? What kind of name is that?"
Ruby rolled her eyes, "Oh stuff it Storm!" She grinned, "I think its cute."
Storm snorted and struggled once mroe, "You would!"
Colt looked over her shoulder at her face, "Are you done?"
"Yeah yeah...just let me go already before I kill all chances of you having children!"
Colt instantly let her go and stepped back.
