Hey everyone!
Thanks for all the reviews. Means a lot…
As you may have noticed, I have made a few things up. I don't know if there is a skateboard team at Storm Chargers, but there is now.
I don't actually know what colours Kapri and Marah are, I know one's orange so if I have it wrong, please let me know so I can change it.
Oh, and they are good now, but Lothor still exists. The time scale of things is totally messed up in this story so if you get confused at any point, just ask, ok? I don't mind explaining it to you.
Also, if you notice I have anything else wrong, please feel free to let me know!
Disclaimer: (I forgot to put a disclaimer on the first chapter because I am new at this and didn't know how to work the site, but this applies for the previous chapter as well.) This is FICTION, hence the site. This is just something that has come from my twisted and warped mind. So please don't sue, as I have nothing to give you! Oh, and the story title is from the song 'Mistaken Identity' by Delta Goodrem.
Pairings: Hunter/OC, Blake/Tori, Dustin/Marah, Cam/Leanne, Shane/Kapri
Chapter 2
The following Saturday, after Hunter asked her to be his girlfriend, they walked to the race track behind Storm Chargers, hand in hand. He was wearing his racing gear, as he was meeting Blake and Dustin, to check out the new additions to the Motocross track. He dragged her over to his friends and introduced them one by one.
"Guys, this is Keiko-Rai, my girlfriend." He paused a while, while the others took in what he'd just said. All the time they'd known him, he'd never had a date, let alone a girlfriend.
"So that's where you've been going then?" Blake said, finally catching on.
Hunter nodded, "Keiko, this is my brother Blake," he said, pointing to the dark skinned, dark eyed, dark haired boy in navy race gear. "This is Dustin," he said pointing to the boy with brown eyes and hair and yellow gear. "Shane," he continued, pointing to the guy with the skateboard and a red shirt. "Tori, Blake's girlfriend," he said, pointing to the blond haired girl in light blue. Keiko nodded in understanding and he carried on, "Kapri", pointing to the girl in a pink t-shirt, "who is Shane's girlfriend," "Marah, Kapri's sister and Dustin's girlfriend," he said, signalling to the young woman in orange. He the moved on to the Japanese guy dressed in green, who Keiko found out was called Cam and his girlfriend was called Leanne. Keiko knew Leanne but she wasn't going to do anything about it just yet.
Soon, Blake, Hunter and Dustin, left to do some riding. They all watched for about an hour until they came off and followed Shane to the Skate Park. Keiko smiled. She loved skating. She looked at her clothes. Ugh, not right for boarding at all. The others had ordered some food at a nearby table where they could watch Shane on the half pipe. Keiko excused herself and ran back to storm chargers. She quickly ditched her jeans and white polo shirt for a white baggy t-shirt, black hoody, black three- quarter length pants and white converse. She knew it was a good idea to leave her skating clothes there just in case. She silently congratulated herself on her genius and picked out her white skate board from her locker. She skated back to the skate park with her hood up. Shane saw her from his position on top of the half pipe. The person did a 'backside pop shove-it' and continued to the skate park. Shane was very impressed at the person's techniques. Shane decided he wanted to find out whom the skater was and if they'd join the skateboard team. They were definitely good enough. The person soon joined Shane at the top of the half pipe and Shane laughed slightly at who it was. He pulled their hood down and the others stared hard. They were talking for a while and then Shane set off on the half pipe doing a 'rock to fake'. The guys cheered from the bottom of the half pipe and Shane smiled at them. The person shook their head and set off in the half pipe, completing an 'early grab 180' and receiving a gasp and cheer form the crowd which had gathered at the bottom and was increasing in size after every move.
The two people boarding had had enough after an hour and exited the ramp, the crowd dispersed and the only people left were the group, along with Kelly. Shane skated over to his friends, followed closely by Keiko. She kicked up her board, "Wow! Keiko, I didn't know you could skate. You're really good," Kelly said.
"Um, thanks."
"You should join the team. Shane's in it and you two make a good pair. You looked wicked out there!" Blake added.
Kapri (I could do that if I wanted too…) pulled her face and Hunter (He's not so brilliant… motocross is so much harder…) made a noise of disgust.
Six months later… (A/N: I know time moves really fast. Trust me… it's worth it).
Six months passed, Keiko had joined the Skateboard team and her relationship with Hunter was still going strong. They had some arguments along the way though. Mostly about Hunter disappearing off the face of the Earth every now and then but he always made it up to her and she always forgave him.
'"Sensai, why can I not do this?" Keiko asked, after failing the lighting blade match for the third time.
Julia just looked at the fourteen year old girl, "You must be patient. It might take years for you to be able to master the blade but I have faith in you. I know you will do it. You just need to focus and believe in yourself. When the time is right, you will be able to use it."
A year and lots of blood, sweat and tears later, Keiko was able to master the blade in an expert way. She won the competitions and could defend herself and others properly. By fifteen, the young woman was turning into one of the worlds greatest ninjas. Until…
"Sensai, where are we?" Keiko asked, unsure of her surroundings.
Peter turned around with his wife, Julia, and smiled at his student, "A place for something special."
They didn't say another word to each other until they reached the clearing in the trees.
Julia placed Keiko on the step and stood in front of her. She took off her emulate and placed it around d her neck. Keiko grabbed it and looked at Julia for an explanation.
"My child, you are a very special child. Only a few special children are chosen to be Lightning Ninja's. I only know of 5, including you and me. I want to pass onto you, what I was given by my mother," Julia pointed to the emulate, "One day, you will find the box that this opens and when you do, there will be something there for you. You must use it wisely and trust your instincts in battle. You must follow the ninja ways but this includes fighting to the death, if need be, do you accept this?"
"Yes Sensai."
"Good. I knew you would. You are an amazing student. You have excelled through all the training and I know we can trust you with this. We might not be around when the time comes for you to use it but someday, you will need to. You will know when the time is right. Never forget, Thunder, Lightning and Wind make the ultimate team," Peter said. They both kissed her forehead and she hugged them both.
"I won't let you down Sensai…" she said.
"I know you won't," Julia said.
Suddenly out of no-where, Hundreds of Kelzacks appeared along with Lothor and his cronies. They suddenly attacked the three ninjas but before any could reach Keiko, Julia yelled to her, "Keiko, run. Get help!"
Keiko nodded, ninja streaking away to the Thunder Academy. When she arrived the place was empty. It was barren. 'Oh, no," she whispered to herself.
She hurried back to the place where she'd left her Sensai's. She tried to moved but couldn't. She was rooted to the spot. She'd never been so scared before. She just watched from behind a tree as Lothor killed them. She felt hot tears roll down her cheeks and silently she cried. She slid down the trunk of the tree and cried hard. She finally stopped crying a couple of hours later and vowed, "I've lost my parents, my Sensai's. Everyone I care about and have ever loved. I am never going through this again. I will make sure of that, whatever it takes."'
Keiko jilted up with a start. That's the fourth time this month she'd had that dream, or more, nightmare. She was sick of it. She hated herself enough for not doing anything and blamed herself even more. She'd hardly knew her real parents, they died when she was four in a car crash so she was trusted to her mother's best friends, Julia and Peter. They taught her how to master her abilities in the art of ninja and became her Sensai's. Julia and Peter had two adopted sons of their own, but Keiko never met them. Julia and Peter always kept them apart by sending their sons to train with a different Sensai. Keiko never knew, nor asked why. She just accepted it and if she thought about it now, she didn't even know the two boy's names.
She walked into her bathroom and washed her sweating face with cold water. She looked in the mirror and closed her eyes. She felt arms around her bare shoulders and reopened her eyes when she felt kisses on her shoulders and neck.
"Baby, come back to bed…" Hunter whined against her skin.
She nodded and followed her boyfriend to the bedroom. She got back into bed next to him and he wrapped his arm around her and she leant back onto his chest. He rested his head on her shoulder, "Sweetie, are you ok?"
"Um… yeah… just bad dream…." She said. She couldn't tell him, could she? He'd never believe her.
"You've been having a lot of bad dreams lately," Hunter said, stating the obvious.
"I know…"
Hunter just kissed her head and wrapped himself more tightly around her. They both closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep.
You see, Hunter and Keiko had said 'I love you' to each other two months previously. They'd planned their first time together down to a t. They went out to the movies, dinner, walk on the beach, back home and Hunter had secretly decorated the apartment with rose petals and candles. Everything was beautiful and perfect. That's why, they had no regrets.
She didn't know why, but the bad dreams had only started happening since Hunter stayed over and come to think of it, only ever happened when Hunter was there. She didn't think much about it usually and just went back to sleep but this time, it stayed in the front of her mind. She couldn't put her finger on it, but it was like someone was trying to tell her something.
A/N: Ok, if anyone can work out where this story is heading, I'll give you a home baked scone! Let me know if you have any ideas and I'll let you know if you're right or not… R&R please!
