The Coming of the Fire Storm
Chapter 7
Too Close for Comfort
The rangers arrived back at Ninja Ops, bruised and battered from the battle, they slumped on the floor feeling very tired. Cam managed to reach the Main Computer, and he found it was already switched on. Sensei appeared at his side.
"I watched the battle," he said, "Blake are you alright?" Blake was feeling a little breathless, after being in that bubble of lightning.
"Yeah, Sensei," said Blake faintly, "I'm fine." Sensei didn't look convinced.
"No Blake, go and get some rest, you too, Hunter," he said, concerned. "Come on, into the next room with you, both of you!"
Blake and Hunter limped into the next room. Tammy followed and helped them both onto a stretcher bed. Sensei appeared at Blake's side.
"Tammy, I have some ointment in that cupboard over there," he said, "It should help Hunter's wound and ease the pain a little." Tammy found the cupboard and the ointment Sensei mentioned. "Blake, can you come with me? I have some bandages in the store cupboard, I can't bring them back myself." Blake nodded, and followed Sensei out. Tammy edged closer towards Hunter.
"Do you want me to put this on for you?" she asked, holding up the ointment. Her bright blue eyes lit up.
"Yeah sure," said Hunter, and he took off his Ninja uniform, to reveal a crimson t-shirt and jeans. He took off his t-shirt to reveal a tanned body and a six-pack. Tammy felt light-headed. She moved towards him and began rubbing the ointment where a large purple bruise was on his chest. Hunter sighed with relief.
Tammy thought, should she take her chance? Tori had told her to go for it, should she?
"Hunter?" she said almost silently as she moved closer again.
"Yeah?" asked Hunter, not knowing what was about to happen. Tammy urged herself forward to kiss him, but he pulled away. Tammy looked rather hurt.
"What?" asked Tammy.
"Why'd you try to kiss me?" asked Hunter.
"Well, I would have thought that was obvious," said Tammy, "I like you, Hunter." Hunter looked a little flabbergasted. "Can I ask, why'd you pull back?"
"I'm really sorry Tammy, but I don't feel the same way," said Hunter kindly. He could not bear to smile, as he felt terrible. Tammy tried to help him, unless, she was trying to take advantage of him?
Tammy began to back away. "Well, you've clearly made your point," said Tammy faintly. She got up, and walked slowly from the room. Tears appeared in her eyes. She felt betrayed and upset. She was so sure she could make him like her. What had gone wrong? Hunter just sat there, still groaning from the light pain on his chest. He flung his t-shirt back on, and tried to go after her.
Tammy appeared in the main room. The others were talking about Lothor and other stuff. Sydney caught her best friend's eye and saw that her eyes were shining. Tammy continued outside, and Sydney followed her.
"What's up Tammy?" asked Sydney as she took a seat beside her on a rock. Tammy cried harder than ever. Tears fell through her hands and onto her lap.
"It...was...Hunter," she said through splutters. "I tried to...well...um..."
"Did you try and kiss him?" asked Sydney, who was trying to get straight to the point. Tammy wailed and squealed.
"Yes!" she screamed. "And he backed away!!" Sydney looked a little bemused.
"Is that all this is about?" she asked, utterly bewildered.
"You wouldn't say that if you heard the way he said it," Tammy said. She was calming down a little now. "You're right, I'm just being silly."
"There, there," said Sydney patting her on friend on the back.
"Let's go back inside." They stood up, and Tammy cleared her tears,
and they went back inside Ninja ops.
Hunter was talking to Blake. The others were gathered around the main computer with Cyber Cam, in deep conversation. Hunter spotted Tammy and went over.
"Look," he began, but Tammy cut him off.
"No, I'm sorry," she said. A bright smile appeared on her face. Hunter winked. Shane stepped up to them and put his arm round Tammy.
"I'll go out with you if Hunter doesn't want to, you know," said Shane sincerely. Tammy's face lit up even more.
"I'd love to!" she said. Shane looked very pleased with himself, having successfully asked out a chick from the skate park. "How about a movie then?"
"That sounds great," she said. Shane began to lead her away from the others. Hunter felt a little mean, having turned her down like that. But it wasn't his fault; he didn't feel the same way. But perhaps she'd get over him, now that she had Shane. He had a sudden urge to ask out her Sydney, but resisted.
"You know, if we weren't all feeling down with injuries and stuff, I'd suggest going to the beach," came Tori's voice. "Actually, I don't fancy it myself, not with the way I'm feeling."
Shane and Tammy had left, as they were both unhurt. Cam and Cyber Cam tended to the other's wounds, and it wasn't long before they were healed completely. They watched a film on the Computer that night, 'Ninja Monkey Madness' as Cam called it. Sensei didn't approve at first, but by the middle of the film he was cheering for a Samurai chimpanzee called Doogoo. Everyone was asleep by the end, and were curled up against one another with pillows and blankets. Tori sat against Blake, and were cuddling lovingly. Dustin and Cam sat back to back, and Sensei was on Cam's lap with his own miniature pillow. Hunter was against the wall and Sydney next to him. As the night passed, neither Shane or Tammy returned, and Sydney's head eventually dropped onto Hunter's shoulder.
