They all glared at him.
"I'm just saying." He shrugged.
"He'll probably be harder to beat with Kailani on his side. She might make him…smart." Kimiko noted.
"What does this thing do?" Kailani asked.
Jack hung up his jacket and turned to see what Kailani was doing.
"I wouldn't do that!" He yelled over.
Kailani held the new Shen Gong Wu.
"Star Hanabi!" She shouted, completely ignoring Jack.
The star gave off a burst of lightning. The force through Kailani back, as the bolt ricocheted off of a bunch of computer monitors. It blew up everything in its path. It headed strait toward Jack, who screamed. Kailani walked over to him. He lay flat on the ground, fried.
"Oops?" Kailani said, weakly.
She helped him to his feet.
"I think it's time to go to sleep now." Jack murmured, through clenched teeth.
Kailani smiled innocently, before kissing Jack on the cheek. The anger completely drained out of him and he blushed.
"Goodnight!" She yelled over her shoulder, as she ran to the GTB. (Giant Transforming Bot)
Jack smiled stupidly to himself and retired to his room. Wuya slept in her box, but when Jack walked in she sat up.
"My dear boy. It seems as though you finally found someone who doesn't hate you." She said with a smile.
Jack looked at her and chuckled.
"I guess so Wuya. Kailani's awesome. She's better than anything I could have imagined. You don't know how badly I want to rule the world with that girl." Jack said, dreamily.
He climbed into bed and shut out the light.
Kailani lay in the GTB and stared out to Jack's room. She looked at her hand again.
The numbers were still there. She knew what they meant and she dreaded what she would have
to do. For now anyway. Her eyes swelled up with tears, and she closed them tightly.
Despite her efforts, a trail of tears streamed down her cheeks. She made a decision, then
and there. She wouldn't do it. She didn't have to. She didn't have to pay her debt. She
tuned over and smiled. That's what she would do. She would ignore it. With that, she fell
into a deep sleep.
"You can't escape it Kailani." A voice whispered in the darkness of her mind.
She stumbled around in the dark and searched for the source of the sound. In front of her, a fire ignited and surrounded her. She screamed for Jack, but of course, this was a dream.
"You owe me for what I've done for you. You knew this would happen. There's no way around it. You belong to me." The voice again.
Kailani saw a dark figure appear through the flames. Chase Young. He slowly approached Kailani and stood in front of her.
"Why don't you just come quietly." He said softly.
Kailani started to cry and shook her head, no. Chase reached down and grabbed her hand. This time he wasn't crushing it. Kailani whimpered softly and began to shake with fright. Chase ran his fingers through her hair and cradled her head. He leaned down and tried to kiss her. Kailani didn't resist, though.
She sat up quickly and saw Jack leaning over her. She was still in the GTB. Kailani breathed heavily and looked at Jack.
"What are you doing?" She asked him.
"You were having a nightmare. I heard you screaming." Jack answered.
"I was not." Kailani said, stubbornly.
"Ok. Then what was the whole 'Jack no! I want Jack! Get away from me!' thing about?" He mimicked.
To his surprise, Kailani through herself into his arms and sobbed, uncontrollably. He patted her hair and nuzzled her cheek in attempt to get her to settle down. Either it worked, or she just wore herself out, but in a few moments she was fast asleep. Jack thought about getting up, but looked down at Kailani. She obviously had a lot on her mind. Jack slumped lower in the seat and went to sleep himself.
Kailani opened her eyes and saw him sleeping. She ran her fingers up and down the middle of his shirt. He was actually peaceful in his sleep. She placed a hand on his cheek and felt the warmth of his body. Eventually, she drifted off to sleep again.
"I never want to hurt you." She whispered in the emptiness.
