Chapter 2
Ok so here's another chapter! Thanks for all the great feedback, it makes me happy that people are interested in this fanfiction! All that aside, these author notes have a purpose I promise!
There was a three day time skip, and it's Cole's shift to watch Kai. Let's tune in and see what happens…
Cole sat beside Kai's bed and watched his chest rise and fall. 'He looks so cut when he sleeps.' Cole thought to himself. Suddenly Kai began to stir. 'Oh crap is he having another nightmare, I should go get Nya!' Cole rose and headed for the door, but stopped dead in his tracks when he heard Kai talk.
"Wh-where am I? C-cole is th-that you?" Kai said his voic clearly full of fear. This surprised Cole as much as it hurt him to hear Kai that scared.
"Ya it's me Kai, but can you wait here a sec me and the others need to have a little talk with you." Cole said as he turned and faced Kai. He was again surprised to see the fear in his bright red eyes.
"N-NO! Pl-please don't leave me a-alone Cole! Please!" Kai all but cried. This broke Cole's heart.
"I'm sorry Kai but we need to talk to you about something, ALL of us!" Cole said.
"NO! DON'T GO PLEASE! I'M BEGING YOU! COLE PLEASE!" Kai screamed. Cole was stunned; he had no idea why Kai was so scared of him leaving. Nya, Sensei Wu, Lloyd, Zane, and then Jay all burst into the room.
"What's wrong with Kai, why is he screaming!?" Nya panicked. She made a move to get closer to Kai who had hidden under his blanket. When Nya moved closer he cuddled closer to the wall. She noticed this and it seemed to stop her.
"Kai its Nya, Sensei Wu, Lloyd, Jay, Cole, and Zane are here as well." She said to the ball-of-blanket she assumed was her brother. "We need to talk to you about your sleeping, well lack of it." Cole spoke up "You need to get more sleep Kai you're going to hurt yourself."
"B-But I c-can't." Kai said still sounding nervous. "N-no I c-can't!" Kai said a little more fearful. "Well you need to." Cole said starting to get frustrated. Cole signaled for the others to leave the room. They did so, even Nya who was a little more hesitant than the others. When they had all cleared the room (except Cole) Kai peeked his head out from under the blanket. His eyes were still full of fear.
"Why can you not sleep then Kai?" Cole asked as he crossed his arms.
"I-I can't t-tell you." Kai said. "Yes you can."
"N-no I c-can't."
"Yes you can!"
"N-no I c-can't."
" .can!" Cole said clearly frustrated.
"Why d-do you c-care so m-much!?"
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU KAI!" Cole yelled. Kai froze in clear shock. He looked like he was about to say something, but he just passed out from exhaustion. Cole didn't know what to do so he left the room.
The Next Morning
Cole was woken up by a scream coming from Kai's room. He immediately sprang into action. As he entered the room he was shocked to find an empty bed, a sleeping Jay, open window, and a note on Kai's pillow. He picked up the note and read it. He was shocked at what it said;
'Sorry I had to take back what is mine.'
So here is a few minuet time gap that was basically just them moving a crying Nya and stunned Cole to the command deck of the bounty."
Lloyd and Zane were using the command computer to search for Kai, Nya was still crying, Jay and Wu were comforting her, and Cole was just staring at the note. One line, so short and brief, yet it spoke layers to Cole. He was sad that he was gone, worried for his safety, angry at whoever took him, and scared of what he had blurted out at Kai and how he would take it. 'I can't believe someone got to him.' Cole thought, but was interrupted by a beeping noise.
"BEEP BEEP BEEP!"
"Someone is attempting to video call the Bounty. Answering in five…" Everyone looked at the screen "Four… …one.." Lloyd answered the call. A young man (no older than the ninja) with curly black hair, green and gold eyes, glases, and wearing a black robe appeared on screen.
"Hello Lloyd, Zane, Jay, Nya, Wu, and Cole how are we today?" He said.
"Who are you and how do you know our names?" Lloyd asked sounding half nervous half angry.
"I'm hurt honestly, Kai never told you about me?" He asked with a sarcastic-offended tone and a hand over his heart like a drama-queen.
"Why would he?" asked a surprised Nya.
"Well then introductions are in order, my name is Dastrex and I'm Kai's boyfriend." Everyone's jaws dropped to the ground. "Wow he never even came out to you guys? Oh this is…well…PRICELESS! Ha-ha-ha-ha-he-hahahahaha! Oh Kai honey I was wondering why I never got to meet them! This explains everything. Hmmm. Kai love, why don't you say hi?" A light in the background turned on, and in the corner curled into a ball, was Kai. Dastrex crossed the room, picked up Kai by the scruff, and dragged him in front of the camera. Kai was TERRIFIED and had a nasty bruise on his right cheek. This very visibly pissed Cole off.
"Well Kai, say hi." Dastrex pulled Kai close to his face. "Say hi."
"H-h-HELP ME PL-P-PLEASE! HELP! COLE! NYA! SOMEO…" Dastrex punched Kai in the ribs, then dropped him and kicked him. "You've lost your right to talk my love." Dastrex said.
Cole was absolutely furious. He swelled red, stood up and walked directly in front of the camera. Dastrex was too busy slapping Kai in the face to notice.
"STOP HURTING HIM NOW OR ELSE!" Cole screamed this caught Dastex's attention as he dropped Kai and turned to Cole.
"Well that's enough for now I guess and don't worry, if he behaves he'll get love. BYEEE!" Dastrex's video cut off. Everyone was shocked and staring at a still very angry Cole.
"Lloyd did you trace the signal?" Cole asked frustration in his voice. Lloyd turned to the computer and brought up a map of Ninjago. He pressed a few buttons, then the map zoomed in to a house in Ninjago City.
"The signal came from this house, 781 Brickburrow Drive." Lloyd answered.
"Good everyone get ready we're getting our Kai back now!" Cole said with a dark and determined glare…
And then cliff hanger. Sorry the chapter was so long but the next one will be much longer I promise. And there will be FLUFF! :) Until then, se y'all later senpai's,
