Chapter 8. I think I might write more than 10 chapters because I will definitely not fit the whole story into just 10 chapters. I didn't post on Friday because I was very busy but I'm probably going to post chapter 9 tomorrow.

Chapter 8

"It's most likely going to hurt," Cole said. "But I'll try to make it as painless as possible."

"Thanks. You know, I already owe you so much. You saved me like three times in just two weeks."

"I guess it's just that you were unlucky with those accidents," Cole said, as he examined the sword. "Alright, I'll count to three, and on three I'll pull out the sword- or at least I'll try to."

Kai nodded. He knew that Cole will try his best to make it as painless as he could, but he was still anxious.

"One, two – three!"

Kai let out a yelp as Cole swiftly pulled out the golden blade. The rim of it was covered in Kai's blood and it seemed undamaged. Cole looked at Kai's injury. The sword was quite deep inside, and it left a wide wound.

"Is- is it out?" Kai asked. "I can't feel anything now, but when you pulled it, it felt really painful."

"I'm sorry, and yes, it's out. But you really can't feel anything? Your wound is very deep."

"Nothing at all."

"I'll better go an get some towels to stop your bleeding. You can't loose too much blood," Cole said, leaving the room.

"So, it's out, right?" Lloyd asked.

"Yeah, but he is badly injured. It'll be better if he stayed in bed for at least a day." Cole said.

"It's really weird that he doesn't feel anything," exclaimed Zane. "You'd think that he'd be crying from pain."

"I guess he's stronger than he seems," Nya said. "Or, it's just maybe because it's his sword that he got stabbed with- perhaps it has no effect on him."

"Maybe. I wonder when sensei will be back, he's been gone for the whole day," said Cole.

"I don't think anymore that he went tea-shopping. Do you think he's in trouble?" asked Zane.

"I doubt that sensei would be in trouble. He's probably gonna be back soon; we just have to wait." said Lloyd.

Suddenly, the door opened and sensei came in. He seemed quite happy with himself.

"Speaking of the devil." Cole said.

"Hello everyone. Why aren't you all training? I wasn't expecting to see you all sitting at a table. Where's Kai?"

"Sensei, we have news for you, and they're not the best news you've heard yet," said Nya.

After an hour of explaining and fighting over who will talk, sensei said,

"So you mean to tell me that the 'figure' used Jay's soul to make an evil version of him? Hmm. Why would someone like him need Jay's clone?"

"We don't know, but he came back later and stabbed Kai in the hip with his sword," Lloyd said. "Kai is now in his room, resting."

"Alright. Kai definitely needs a rest right now, and so do I. I need to think about everything that I just heard. Goodnight."

Sensei slowly headed for the exit.

"I'm gonna go and check on Kai," Cole said, and he also left the room.

When he reached Kai's room, Cole slowly opened Kai's door and peeked in. Kai was asleep and he seemed to be sleep talking. Cole smiled and went inside. He lay down beside Kai and hugged him.

"I love you, Kai."

Again I'm sorry for another short chapter. I hope that you enjoyed anyway.
