Sooo, this is a double update... Anyway, I've had this idea from the very beginning. Even when I was writing "A Ghostly Help." And I hadn't stopped update it to ameliorate it. Because it is "The Chapter."

Well, don't own it.

Kai P.O.V.

At five o'clock, our Leader woke us up. I'd gotten this into an habit. Only, I didn't have much time before going to bed with my boyfriend. And well, it was getting on my nerves. Cole took his duty too much seriously, but he noticed that something was off with me, so he got the best idea ever. Tonight, we were going in Ninjago. Jay and Nya went alone at a restaurant, like a date. I'm happy for her. It's maybe because it enjoys me to see the one around me happy too. Lloyd and Zane went to a library, while me and Cole went somewhere he wanted to bring me a long time ago.

I hadn't heard any sign from the League of Assassins, not since the Bounty's blackout made by Jay. I was nervous, because they never were that silent. It wasn't how they do things. So, actually, it could only mean one thing, they'd changed things from the original plan.

Cole had talked about this place often. He said that it was somewhere in the wild, but near the city. We passed through the forest to arrive at a cliff. I stopped walking as I watched my lover going and sitting at the edge. He turned his head and smiled at me warmly. I smiled back and went at his side. When I arrived by his side, he was looking up at the stars. I looked at them, they were shining of thousand fire in the night sky. After a quiet moment of silence, I said:

"The stars are beautiful tonight. We can't see that in the city of Ninjago."

"They're beautiful like you."

"You are too, babe."

"Stop being ridiculous." He said, amused.

"Yeah, yeah. Admit it, you like me even if I'm ridiculous."

"Yeah, I couldn't live without you."

"Same for me."

I felt my cheeks burning. I didn't know why I was blushing, maybe because he was always so cute. We stayed in silence for a while before the green eyed boy said:

"You know what? Since you're in my life, I'm feeling more alive. Since the disappearance of my mother, the murder of my dad, my runaway while I have to kill to survive, I hadn't felt something like that. Something that strong. You've illuminate my heart, Kai."

I blushed again and looked at him. Cole was already looking at me, with his magnificent emerald eyes which shone. I looked down and met his eyes again and asked:

"When did you find this place?"

"After my runaway from the League. This place was like my moment of peace. Where I could forget all my problems, all the blood on my hands." He smiled softly at me.

I smiled back, but a thought just kept coming through my head. We were at the limit date of the mission. I was supposed to bring them tonight, but I wasn't and I knew they will come even if I didn't complete the mission. My smile faded and I looked down at my knees. It was just ruining our date.

All day, I'd been thinking about that. About what would I do. About the punition I will get if they'll bring us at the monastery. About the hurt look in their eyes. About the monster they will make from my soul mate. About the way they will break Lloyd and Cole. About their destiny.

"What's wrong?" I felt his fingers touching my chin as he turned my head to watch him in the eyes, worrying. The eyes I couldn't resist. The one that made me paralazing when I met them. I avoided looking at him, which worried him more. "You know you can tell me, I'm your boyfriend."

"It's too complicate. I can't-"

"What is it? I won't judge you. Is it about Jay and Nya dating?" He said, amused.

"No, it's something more... important."

My boyfriend waited for me to continue. I opened my mouth, but I was cut off by a female voice.

"Well well. I think you've mistaken the date. It is today."

My eyes widened. No! Not now!

Cole stood up and he was between Jeanne and me. He was looking sometimes at me worriedly, but when his attention was on her, he was totally serious and stoic.

"Who are you? And what are you talking about?"

"Oh! I notice Kai didn't tell you anything. Well, it's normal or else he would if he loves you really."

"What? I don't understand. Why Kai is involve with this? Kai, you know this woman?"

"Of course! He knows me! He's part of the League of Assassin of our Chief, Lord Garmadon."

The dark haired boy blinked. He then turned his head slowly in confusion at me. I could see him frowned.

"Is that true?" I could recognize in his beautiful eyes the hurt.

"I... I was about to tell you, but..." I couldn't say a sentence clearly. I was in shock by the presence of Jeanne.

"Oh, yeah? When Kai? When did you plan to tell him that you were an assassin like him? When did you plan on telling him that his mother is alive?"

"... What? No... That... T-That cannot be true-" He seemed for a moment distabilized.

"I'm not lying like your boyfriend here. I'm your mother."

Now I knew what they were planning. In some way, Garmadon had known I couldn't accomplish that mission the moment I spent days and days with them. Jeanne had known that I would have fall for her son. She knew me too well. I know what Garmadon would have said if it was somebody else. "This type of mission is one of the most difficult. If you think infiltrate completely is easy, then you're wrong. The more you pass time with your enemies, the more you can change your mind." They wanted me to pay to have changed my side.

I could see pity in the eyes of my lover. Then, he looked down, like all the time he planned something. I never liked his plans, Cole always put himself in danger at our place. After a while, his beautiful eyes met mine and he smiled sadly at me. The dark haired boy took a deep breath and said:

"I-I... I will take the place of Kai in the League." He said without breaking our eye contact.

"You want us to give our best assassin-"

"You are getting me only if you'll free him." Cole said coldly, but without showing it in his eyes. It was more sympathy. He then turned his head toward his mother and added: "And I'm better. I've been trained by the League of the Lotus before joining Wu. Deal?"

After a few seconds of hesitation, she responded: "Deal."

"Okay, so... Can you let me five minutes to say my goodbyes?"

"Only three minutes."

"Sure."

She left us on the cliff. My head wasn't stopping thinking as Cole came closer to me. He slowly took my hands in his.

"Why? Why have you... I don't understand-"

"Kai, you should know me." He looked up at me."It's pretty hard to get mad at you. Even if I get mad, I can forgive you pretty quickly. And this... This isn't what you wanted. You've been kidnapped, and you couldn't do anything but obey. Am I right?" He said that all slow and taking his time.

I blinked, because it was like Cole had travelled my memories within five seconds.

"Y-Yes, It is true."

"Then, you deserve a better life."

"But, but... you too need... deserve..." I didn't notice tears were running down on my cheeks. "You've been through Hell from your old League, you can't go there! I know what they are capable of! You can't... And about everyone? Jay, Nya, Lloyd, everyone? They'll be devastated! Lloyd! You're like a big brother for him! Jay is your bro! And me... What will happen to me when they will discover? Will they forgive me?"

He smiled sadly, took me and hugged me. I was prisoner of his arms, but I didn't care. I passed my arms around his waist and I burried my face in his shoulder. I let the tears dropped on my face.

"I'm sure they will." He whispered in my ear. "Don't worry."

Cole took my face in his hands and wiped a tear on my left cheek. The tears were always falling, but my lover made me feel warm. He put down a long kiss on my forehead. It was soft, warm and... I felt like I could stay forever like this. Against him, letting myself getting into an other world by his kisses. After, we were standing there, taking deep breaths, his forehead on mine. I didn't notice we were trembling. He looked up and I saw the stars in his emerald eyes.

"Don't forget, I love you."

He kissed me, for the last time, then let me go. I didn't know how he could do that, because I could barely let him go. Maybe it's because of his leader side. His stupid leader side had chosen to sacrifice himself to free me from my League. I watched him walking toward the trees. My boyfriend stopped at the edge of the forest, turned his head and I noticed a tear was running down his cheek. The half of his face was in the darkness, but that didn't prevent me to see that his beautiful eyes were all in pain and sadness. Even how much him and I wanted to, we couldn't go back in time. It was done, we couldn't break the deal. After a while, Cole said with a broken voice:

"Goodbye, Kai."

Then he disappeared, leaving me on the cliff, alone. Those words, only two words, broke my heart. I fell on my knees and cried. Thanks to the League, I'd learned to cry silentely. Never in a long time I'd let my emotions taking over. Suddenly, I felt like my heart was missing. And I knew where it was: Cole took it with him. It will always be with him, by his side. Hoping it would keep him sane.

All changed because of this mission. At first, I was living my life while being darker and colder. My assasin side faded when I met him. We'd been through so much and he became the meaning of life for me. He changed me, I couldn't deny it.

The night was beautiful, without any cloud, it wasn't cold or hot, Jay and my sister were on a romantic date and were having fun and I was free from the League for good, but I'd lost the one I love.

The End

La Fin

Wait, there will be, of course, a sequel. It will be called "To Fix a Broken Soul." Only, it won't appear any soon, I am doing another story about PJO, so I have to update that story too. Hope you enjoy this story!
