Chapter 4

A Message For You

Tori, Blake and Cam took their conversation out of the gym and outside. They were getting a bit annoyed by all the whispering and gossiping from other students that were watching them make complete fools out of themselves. The silver moon was shining into the parking lot of the cold dark night. Tori was pacing around in front of her Van, trying to figure out what to say. She thought this whole thing was being blown out of proportion. Here she was with two of her greatest friends and one is jumping to conclusion about the other.

"Well, so much for a surprised. You surprised me more then I did you." He spoke up to break the silence.

Tori craned her neck to him and glared, "Blake. You just caught me at the wrong time."

He gave her a dirty look and walked to his car. It was a navy sporty kind of car. Factory Blue must have been paying him well to afford that, Tori thought to herself.

He opened the door and looked at the two of them, "Guess the two of us are done." He said as he got in. He turned on the engine and began to drive away.

Tori stepped forward to watch the car drive off, "There was never any us in the first place!" She shouted out to it. She groaned, brushing her blonde hair out of her face. She turned around to see Cam gone. Right there, she just wanted to scream. She was so mad that everything blew up in her face before she got a chance to even speak. She got into her Van and drove out of the parking lot. Dustin and Marah went outside to see her leaving and started to shout her name. Tori was their only ride home since everyone else left and now she was gone to.

Marah chuckled, "What a night."

Dustin stared at her oddly, "What's so funny about it?"

She shrugged, holding onto Dustin's hand, "I just think it's funny that were the only one that had a good time." She smiled. They started to walk down the lonely street back home.

Marah rubbed her arms and shivered, "It sure is cold." The Yellow Wind Ninja laughed, taking his jacket off. He wrapped it around Marah and smiled. They kept walking in till they found themselves in front of a apartment complex. Marah and Kapri have been living in an apartment ever since they joined the Wind Academy. They were planning on going back home to their parents but were convinced by the rangers to stay away. The Wind Academy Classes was another thing that kept them on earth. Dustin walked Marah to the door of the apartment building.

She turned around to face her date and smiled happily, "Guess this is Good Night."

Dustin scratched his head, a bit unsure what to do next, "Uh yeah. Night Marah." He replied, glancing at the ground then back up at her. She started to giggle a little bit and ruffled Dustin's hair before she entered inside the building. Dustin waved to her as she disappeared into her apartment room. The next day had come and Shane was skating in the park. Whenever he had things on his mind, he would always skate. In skating, you always have to focus and think nothing else in order to pull off a move. That's what Shane enjoyed when skating. Thinking nothing but that. He went down the skate park ramp and went flying into the air, spinning around and flipping his board then landing back down on the ramp. Instead of going into the air again on the other side of the ramp, he grinded the edge and jumped off. Shane heard clapping and turned around to see Michelle smiling at him.

She walked over and looked up him, "A 50/50 to a grind. Not bad Shane."

A little shocked, he hopped off the ramp and went to her, "You know what moves I pulled?"

She nodded and grinned, "Yeah. What, you think you're the only who can skate?" She chuckled, taking the board out of his hand and walking to the ramp. Shane turned around to watch what she was doing. She went down the ramp and into the air, spinning and twirling around. Her swiftness and skills impressed Shane. She slowed down and kicked up the board into her hand. She started to dance around on the ramp.

"Oh yeah, Oh yeah, That was better then last time." She exclaimed. Shane cracked a smile as he made his way to her, grabbing the board out of her hand.

"Dude, I'm impressed." He admitted, "Let's see if you can do this!" He shouted as he climbed back up the ramp. Michelle and Shane pretty much spent the entire afternoon skating around and talking. They were having loads of fun, chasing each other and telling jokes. Meanwhile Hunter was busy working hard at Storm Chargers. He was busy in the back fixing a Motocross bike. He grabbed a tool box nearby and started to dig through it, trying to find a wrench. He threw out ever tool and empties the box.

He held the box upside down, "Where the heck is it?" He placed the box back on the table and headed towards the front of the store. He turned and noticed Blake. He was shocked that Blake was in the city and didn't even say hello to his older brother. He was about to go over there when he saw Kelly going up to him. He decided to wait and hide behind a wall to hear their conversation.

She patted Blake on the shoulder, "The surprise didn't work as well as you thought did it?"

He shook his head, "No. I think I took it to far though. I mean I know Cam and them aren't dating but does Tori have feelings for him?" He asked.

She shrugged, "I don't know. To tell you the truth, I was a bit shock to, but it's Tori's choice."

Blake sighed, "I know. I think I should apologize. I thought when she said she missed me and wanted to see me she meant it. Guess not." Kelly couldn't help bursted out laughing. Blake was a bit offended, looking around to see if anyone was watching.

She settled down and took a breather, "I'm sorry. Its just funny that you said that because she never stops mentioning you." Blake cracked a smile, knowing there was an ounce of hope. A hand crept onto Hunter's shoulder, freaking him out. He quickly spun around and saw Dustin.

"Dude! Don't ever do that please." He said.

Dustin chuckled, "Sorry." His smile faded and a concern look took over. Hunter looked at him carefully, trying to see what's up, "Have you seen Kayla?" He finally asked.

Hunter shook his head, "No, why would I?"

He sighed, "My mom called this morning. Said she hasn't come home."

"Um, okay?" Hunter responded, unsure what to tell him.

Dustin grew a little irritated, "Okay!?"

"What do I have to do with her!? I left the dance. You saw her last." He protested.

"Marah told me she went after you." He retorted, "She went to apologize to you man."

Hunter scratched the back of his head, "Oh. Well Dustin, I haven't seen her since last night at the dance. I don't know what to tell you."

He tugged on his, dragging him to the front of the store, "Then we need to find her." Blake and Kelly glanced over to see them talking.

"Hunter!" Blake called out. The crimson blonde turned to his younger brother and waved.

"Hey Blake! Since when were you visiting?" He replied. Blake and Kelly walked over to them.

"Just got back last night. I'm taking a break from Factory Blue. Sort of like a mini vacation." He explained.

Dustin punched Hunter in the shoulder, "Come on. You can talk to him later." He said angrily.

Hunter sighed, rubbing his shoulder, "Kelly, Can I get off work early. I need to help Dustin find his cousin."

She put her hand on her face, "Is there something wrong?" She asked worryingly.

Dustin quickly shook his head, "No." He responded and dragged Hunter out of the store. They walked over to Hunter's car where a piece of paper was under the wind shield wiper. Hunter reached out and grabbed it. It was a flyer for a martial arts tournament that was going to be held in Blue Bay Harbor in a few days.

Dustin spotted some writing on the back, "There's something on the back." He pointed out. Hunter turned it over and read the note.

To Hunter

The Blue Bay Harbor National Martial Arts Tournament will be held in a few days. If you want to see your beloved Kayla again, you will attend this tournament. If you win, I will give her back but if you lose, well I hate to see what happens if you lose.

There was no name on the note. Hunter looked up at Dustin and back at the paper. 'Who would want to fight me so bad' He thought to himself.

"We have to go to this." Dustin spoke up.

Hunter nodded, "Yeah, but how do we know he will keep his word."

Dustin shrugged, "We'll make him." He responded, "I'll make sure of it."

"And Sensei?" Hunter added.

"I'm sure he'll allow it." He reassured him. Meanwhile Cam was sitting in the courtyard at the Wind Academy. The shine was shining beautifully as usual and he was soaking the suns rays while reading a book. Tori had entered the academy portal ready to teach a class. She walked down the path and past a few students. She walked slowly, scanning her surrounding, looking for someone. Turning her head, she spotted Cam reading his book on a bench. She smiled happily as she made her way to him.

"Hey." She spoke out.

Cam looked up from his book, "Hey." He responded softly, then looked back down. Tori's smile faded away as she sat next to him. She waited for him to look up again but he didn't. Feeling a bit irritated, she snatched the book out of his hand and tossed it aside.

Cam turned and glare at her, "That was uncalled for."

Tori rolled her eyes, brushing her hair back, "Cam. You've been avoiding me all day. We need to talk."

He shrugged and stood up, "Talk about what? I can take the hint. I am the genius of the team remember."

She stood up also and turned him around to look into his eyes, "I said we were going as friends Cam."

He nodded, "I know. You're in love with Thunder Boy." He smirked and walked off. Tori sighed deeply as she watched Cam entered the Wind Academy. She groaned as she walked towards the Ninja Ops entrance to see if Sensei was there. As she made her way down the stairs, she found Dustin and Hunter talking to him. They all turned and wave to her.

"Hey Hunter. Hey Dustin." She waved back, "Hello Sensei." She bowed to him. Sensei nodded and she stood back up. Dustin and Hunter turned back to Sensei to continue their conversation.

"Will it be all right?" Hunter asked.

He thought for a second, "To find them, one must sometime walk into a trap to draw them out. If this will help find your cousin Dustin, then you have my permission."

"All right!" He exclaimed and dragged Hunter out of Ninja Ops.

"Bye Tori!" Hunter's voice echoed as they exited upstairs. Tori was a bit confused. She scratched her head and looked at Sensei.

"Did something happen to Kayla?" She asked.

He shook his head in dismay, "Nothing to worry about. They can handle it." He reassured her.

"All right then. Shall I get started on my class?"

"Yes. Your students are waiting by the lake." He replied. Down at Storm Chargers, Shane and Michelle were taking a break from the hours of skating they had down. They were resting on the couch over in the corner.

"Dude, you totally ripped it up out there." Shane said.

She giggled a bit, "You weren't so bad yourself." Shane chuckled a bit. He hasn't had this much fun for a while. Michelle had made Shane forget about everything on his mind and he was happy for that. His smile faded as he stared at her, "Sorry I left at the dance last night."

She shook her head, "It's okay. I just got out of a relationship also. So I wasn't really ready either."

He looked down, "Yeah, but mine was like months ago."

She crossed her legs and leaned forward, "What happen to her?"

He looked up at the ceiling and thought about it, "She went away. Far away." He responded.

She smiled, "Oh. That's to bad. I bet she was a great person."

"She was. I mean, I only met her for a day but she-she was awesome." He exclaimed, "You on the other hand, wow. You blew me out of the sky. Where did Tori find you?"

She started to burst into laughter, "You flatter me. Tori and I met long time ago."

"She never mentioned about you."

She smiled, "Well, how many of your friends have you introduce to Tori?"

He thought for a sec, "Not a whole lot." He replied, "Well I'm glad I met you." They stared at each other in silence. Shane couldn't help move forward, leaning closer to her. Michelle closed her eyes as she felt him giving her a gentle kiss. Kelly was at the register, watching it all. She was squealing and smiling at what she was seeing. Shane and Michelle broke away when the door opened and Hunter walked in. They both waved to him as he nodded in return, unaware of what they did. He walked over to Kelly.

"Hey, Can I ask for a favor boss?" He asked.

She turned to him and eyed him, "Depends. What is it?"

"Can I take Saturday off? There is um, an important tournament I have to attend."

She looked at her calendar and turned her head back at him, "That's in two days. My sale starts that day. I need all the help I can get."

"Please." He pleaded, "I wouldn't be asking you this if it wasn't important."

She sighed and nodded, "All-right but you owe me one."

"Yeah, thanks!" He exclaimed and turned to exit the shop. He pulled out his keys and walked to his car. He jiggled his key in the lock and noticed a black shadow figure streak from the corner of his eye. He quickly turned around and notice three people standing side by side with each other in front of him. They were dressed in black ninja uniforms. The guy in the middle was a dirty blonde man that looked about Hunter's age. He had short spiky hair and brown eyes. The two girls next to him, was a long blonde and a short red head.

"Hello Sensei." He spoke up, taking a step forward.

Hunter backed away, in a defensive stance, "Sensei?" He asked.

He smirked, "Oh that's right. You haven't been at the academy for a while. Of course you would forget about us. Our own Head Master, abandoning his rightful place. "
