This one's pretty short, so prepare yourself.
Another stolen moment of Nya liking Cole. NEXT chapter would be with Jay.
There were days in which Nya wished she had invisibility powers, or at least no-blushing powers. The boys were all in front of her, doing what? Well, they were all training. But then again, they always trained, at least when Cole or Sensei Wu told them to. But then again, it did not help her the least when she was standing way behind Cole as he watched vigil over the other three elemental ninja's. She was with Misako and Sensei Wu having their cups of tea. And Cole stood right smack down the middle, shirtless with black skin tight pants. Although training has boosted the guys' musculature, Cole's was the most impressive. He was not overly buff, but he wasn't skinny either. In fact, he was the perfect example of how a ninja should look like: lean with tightly packed muscle.
Over the past year when she had been dating Jay, he always had his shirt off when doing heavy duty work out sessions, but none of it made the fire inside her spark. He was not terrible, but he didn't match up to Cole. Jay was lean, but his muscle's weren't built for strength, they were mostly for speed, like lightning.
A muffled giggle caused her to blush as Nya turned to look at Misako.
Misako smiled at her. "How do the teens say these days?" she said. "'See anything you like?'"
Nya tried to brush it off. "V-What? Cole? No. Of course not. Why would you think that?" She gave an uneasy smile. It dropped as Misako's smile broadened.
"Well, you said Cole when I never said specifics," she pointed out. She smiled warmly as Nya's face blossomed. "Don't worry Nya, this is normal in the love life of a young maiden. Everything will turn out alright."
Nya sighed. "Maybe. But," she turned to look back at the boys, Cole thankfully having gone to join his brethren in training, "I just don't want to hurt either of them." She smiled slightly as Jay laughed at something she could not hear, the rest joining in.
A warm hand was placed on her shoulder with Misako's voice accompanying it. "I know. But you can't keep running from your heart or keep them in the dark forever."
Nya looked up at Misako's caring face, gifting her with a trying smile. "I hope so."
