Chapter six

Reasons

It was dead silent. No noise. Nothing. All of the patients have gone to bed and the doctors and nurses were in their offices. Nya was still with Kai and the other ninja were with Lloyd. The hospital was too silent. Nya was still awake, but she was getting very tired. She tried not to fall asleep. It was really late at night and she should've fallen asleep three hours ago. Eventually, she let darkness consume her, drifting into a calm, peaceful sleep.

Morro peered through the window of Lloyd's room. Everyone was asleep. He smirked and he quietly opened his door. He swiftly made his way to Lloyd's bed and picked him up bridal style. He began to make his way to the exit, but Cole started to wake up. He gasped at the sight and shouted, "WAKE UP!"

Everybody else woke up and Morro ran for the exit. Zane stood in his way and froze his foot to the ground. Morro struggled and struggled and eventually got free. When he was near the door, Jay punched him in the cheek. The hit made Morro fall to the ground, dropping Lloyd in the process. Cole went to attend to Lloyd while Zane and Jay sort Morro out.

Zane froze his hands and feet to the wall and Jay sent lightning bolts to his hand and threatened to shock Morro in case he tried to escape.

"Who are you and what do you want with Lloyd?" Jay asked, bringing his hand close to Morro's face. Morro smirked and began to laugh.

"You FOOLS! I want what is rightfully mine! Lloyd has something of mine and I want to take it back!" Morro shouted, causing Lloyd to slowly wake up.

"What does he have that is so important?" Zane asked in confusion.

"He has my grandfathers necklace! It's a very old gem that once belonged to the sensei yang himself!" Morro raised his voice, making it clear that he was irritated.

"I...I don't have a n..necklace..." Lloyd managed to say. Morro sent a deathly glare at him. Lloyd narrowed his eyes and glared back.

"Then...I'LL HAVE TO USE FORCE!" Morro exclaimed, breaking free afterwards. He dashed to Lloyd and brought out the scalpel he retrieved earlier. He slashed Lloyd' right cheek and ran out the door. Lloyd screamed out in pain as blood started to seep from his cheek.

"Get a doctor!" Cole ordered. Jay ran out and went to find a doctor. Lloyd's breathing became frantic as he was scared and shocked. He leaned forward. Zane and Cole exchanged worried looks. Cole sat down next to Lloyd and started to rub his back. Zane inspected Lloyd's wound,

Zane frowned, 'He needs stitches' he thought to himself. Jay retuned with a doctor who was carrying a lot of medical supplies. He set them down on a table next to Lloyd's bed. The doctor asked Zane and Cole to move out of the way and he began to treat Lloyd's wound. He disinfected the wound and then he brought out a needle and thread. He slowly started to suture up the wound and Lloyd continued to scream in pain. After the doctor was finished he applied a gauze and set it down with some medical tape.

"Keep an eye on him please." The doctor instructed. Everyone nodded and the doctor left. Everyone looked at Lloyd who was still shaking from being shocked.

"You okay?" Jay asked in concern.

"Y..Yeah...Just scared me...I'm hungry." Lloyd replied. They helped Lloyd out of bed and set off to the cafeteria. Once they arrived, they saw Nya there, eating some soup.

"Nya!" Jay shouted and waved afterwards. Nya waved back and the ninja sat down with her whilst Lloyd got something to eat.

"How are you?" Cole asked.

"Tired. Kai hasn't woken up yet." Nya responded. Lloyd came back and sat down with them. He began to eat. Nya finished her food and went back to the recovery ward. Jay waved goodbye and everyone turned their attention to Lloyd. He played around with his food for a bit and then began eating again. He finished and everyone went back to his room.

Nya sat back down in the recovery ward and watched Kai as he was sleeping. She really wanted him to wake up. Suddenly, she began to hear soft groans coming from no one but Kai. She immediately stood up and watched her brother wake up. Kai slowly opened his eyes as he began to regain consciousness. He winced in pain and slowly began to sit up. He checked his surroundings and saw Nya looking at him with a smile. He weakly smiled back and stayed sat up.

"Kai. How are you feeling?" Nya asked in a normal voice level.

"F...Fine...Where's...Lloyd?" Kai asked.

"He's fine, for now." Nya responded.

"I...I wanna go see him." Kai replied, twisting his body so his legs dangled over the bed. He slowly began to stand up. Once he did, he stumbled a bit but managed to keep his balance. Nya helped him by putting his not broken wrist around her shoulder. They began to walk towards Lloyd's room which was only down the hall. Kai's thoughts trailed off to Lloyd. How much he had been suffering. He really wanted to be there but he was all jacked up.

Once they arrived to his room, Nya lightly knocked on the door. Cole answered and let them in immediately. Everyone gasped to see Kai awake. Lloyd looked at Kai and noticed how weak he looked. He got out of bed and offered his bed to Kai. Kai accepted and laid down.

"Are you okay?" Lloyd asked in concern. He's been worrying about him ever since Morro attacked them.

"Heh...I'm fine." Kai responded. Lloyd nodded.

"Can you...Please leave us alone for a bit?" Lloyd asked. Everyone was confused but they agreed and went to the cafeteria.

"Lloyd...what's wrong?" Kai asked. A light blush began to appear on Lloyd's cheeks. He gulped and finally began to talk.

"Kai...I've been so worried about you. I thought you might've died." Lloyd began to cry and his blush began to become more visible to Kai. He noticed and he knew where Lloyd was heading. He had to tell him now or never.

"Kai..." Lloyd whispered.

"Yeah?" Kai responded.

"I...I love you" Lloyd said. He began to shake from embarrassment and looked down. He was already regretting what he said. He blushed even harder thinking about Kai.

"I love you...too" Kai responded, blushing as well. Lloyd shot his head up and smiled. They both hugged each other, never wanting the moment to end.
