Chapter Two: The Start

Reluctantly, Kai rolled out of bed in the morning, galumphing to the kitchen as he rubbed his sleepy eyes. As he had little sleep that night, he woke up an hour late (not too unusual for him) and expected to find everyone else finishing up breakfast. However, when arriving in the dining room, he found that it and the kitchen were empty. Kai thought for a moment that something had happened to his shipmates, but he quickly brushed aside this thought and decided that they must be either on the bridge or in the living room. After briefly checking without any results, the fire master could not imagine what had become of his friends.

"There is no way they all are still sleeping. I'm usually the last or one of the last up," Kai thought to himself.

As he went to his room to check his theory, Nya finally came out of her room with a slightly pale face and coughed a few times.

"Did you just get up?" Kai asked his sister.

"Yeah, I wasn't able to sleep too well last night. Where is everyone else? Are they still asleep?" Nya said.

"I'm not really sure, I was just going to check actually."

"Ok, I'm going to go lay on the couch," Nya said before walking away.

Kai opened their bedroom door and peered in, seeing that the other ninja were in fact still sleeping. He was about to roll his eyes, shut the door, and let them sleep. It was not until Lloyd let out a cough that Kai put two and two together. Everyone else was so sleepy, coughy (yes I know that's not a real word, but I like to think it is), and snotty because they were sick.

It did not take long for Kai's brotherly instincts to kick in after that. Soon he was in the room checking each of his brother's temperature with his hand and found out that they all had fevers. Even Zane's exoskeleton was hot with fever, raising a few questions in Kai's mind. He had had lots of practice helping and taking care of his sister when she used to get sick so he could practically do this with his eyes shut. Running to the bathroom, Kai grabbed the bottle of ibuprofen pills and opened it on his way back to the bedroom. He then proceeded to give each of his brothers two pills each which they sleepily swallowed without any complaints and barely waking up. Being a nindroid, he was not too sure if ibuprofen would help Zane at all, but Kai figured that if a robot could get sick, a robot could take medicine too.

After this, Kai left the room to allow the ninja sleep and came across Nya in the hallway again.

"What's all the commotion about?" she said with a sniff.

"Cole, Jay, Lloyd, and Zane are all sick. I was just getting them some medicine and they will probably wake up shortly," Kai explained.

Nya's eyes widened at the news. "Sick? Are they alright?"

"They're fine, just a little fever. It's nothing I can't handle."

"Do you need any help?" Nya asked.

"Nah, your big brother can manage," Kai said, raising up his head as he did so.

The black haired girl rolled her eyes as she walked away, presumably to work on her mechanics.

Kai has just sat down when a not so good looking Lloyd came into the room with his pyjamas still on and hair undone.

"Hey, Kai," Lloyd said in a nasally voice before coughing twice and wiping his nose on his hand.

Standing up to let Lloyd use the couch, Kai said, "How are you feeling?"

Sniffing again, Lloyd said, "Not too good. I keep coughing, my nose is runny, my throat is burning, and I just feel yuck. The others feel the same; they are up too."

"I'll go get you some tissues," Kai said.

When he arrived back with a box of tissues, Kai found the other three ninja on the couch with Lloyd, also clothed in their pyjamas. The four immediately blew their noses multiple times with the provided tissues.

The red ninja tried to recall what he used to do for Nya when she was sick. "Are you guys hungry? I can make you some toast with butter."

"That sounds pretty good," Cole said and the others agreed with him.

Shortly, Kai arrived with four plates of buttered toast and four cups of ice water.

"Anything else you need?" Kai asked.

In the same nasally voice as Lloyd, Jay said, "You don't need to take care of us. Go and do whatever."

"No, I know you guys aren't feeling well and I want to take care of you. Don't worry about anything-all you have to do is rest. Now, I'll ask again. Is there anything else you need?" said Kai.

"I suppose I could use a blanket," Zane said.

"And could you put on a movie?" Lloyd said.

Kai put in their favourite movie and left to grab whatever blankets he could find. When he arrived back in the living room, Jay immediately threw up the entirety of the toast he had just consumed all over the floor and himself. Momentarily closing his eyes and letting out a sigh, Kai gave the others the baskets he had found and helped Jay to the bathroom to wash up. Now all he had to do was clean up that throw up . . .

I'm glad to see that you liked my first chapter so I hope you like this one too:) As you can see, I changed the title because I wasn't really too fond of the previous one. Please review, I love to hear all of your opinions-good or bad.
