In case you haven't noticed, I talk A LOT, so I'm just gonna stop now...
Nya was sitting up in her hospital bed, completely conscious and aware of Jay. But Jay, who was sitting beside Nya, was talking to her like she was not there. She had a look of distress on her face, like her whole world was collapsing in front of her.
"I hope you know how much I love you. I love your voice in the morning, I love your confident personality, I love every little bit about you. You're absolutely perfect in my eyes," he whispered softly.
"Jay, I'm still here," she choked out, and started to sob. "I'm not gone...yet."
"I will miss you so much," he whispered.
"Please, help me!" She sobbed.
"Goodbye, love," Jay said.
"Jay! No! Before it's too late!"
Jay!
"Jay!"
Jay woke with a start, soaked in sweat with a tear-stained face. He was sitting up, Kai standing beside him.
"Where's Nya?" Jay asked quietly, his lip quivering.
Kai's eyes slowly filled with tears, and he collapsed onto Jay's bed. He hugged Kai like he would hug his older brother. His brother, who always seemed strong, was defeated.
Jay felt him shaking and sobbing in sorrow.
"Nya was the only family I had left, and now she's—" Kai weeped.
Jay slowly remembered the distressing night, and he couldn't stop the tears from emerging from his eyes too.
For a period of time, the two brothers, both victims of the actions of death, sat and morned the loss of Nya.
"Mr. Smith, her body has been transferred to the closest funeral home," the nurse said.
Kai got up from his seat in the hospital waiting room. "Thank you very much, nurse," he said.
The rest of the ninja, who have been very quiet for the past few days, slowly got up to go to the funeral home. Kai said, "hold on guys, I need to use the washroom."
"We'll wait for you in the car, then," said Zane.
Kai started towards a dark hallway connected to the waiting room. He found a broken sign that was hanging by one corner above a doorway, showing a stick man, which led to another hallway, even darker than the first.
Kai started to hear water dripping in the distance. He knew that the route was not leading to the bathroom, but curiosity got the better of him. His instincts heightened, and he started to walk carefully.
Suddenly, a moving object hit his foot. Kai flipped backwards, only to see that the object was a mouse. He let out a sigh of relief, and continued on his path.
Just moments after the visit of the mouse, he heard a distinct scream of a female. He gasped in shock. Kai followed the screaming, running as fast as he could towards the screams.
He reached a room full of caskets stacked on top of one another. He heard the scream again, it came from the one beside him. He slowly opened the casket, and found a dead man inside. The casket smelled of rot, like the man had been inside the casket for years. Kai wrinkled his nose.
The scream came again, this time underneath the casket he had opened.
Kai struggled to move the man's casket. He used his strength to push it off and onto the floor.
The combination of using his strength to push of the dead man and the adrenaline of hearing the scream made Kai's heart beat as fast as a hummingbird's wings.
He slowly opened the casket, his logic telling him to stop, but curiosity forcing him to keep going.
He found a dirty women looking at him like he was holding a knife to her neck and was going to slaughter her right then and there.
After she saw who it was, a rush of relief flooded her face.
"Kai?" She said.
Okay, I know what you're thinking, and no, it's not Nya (sorry!)
It's someone very, very different. Someone who you would never think would even be in this fic...
Also, I just wanted to point out, I DO NOT SHIP JAY AND KAI! I just believe that since they were both morning the loss of someone close to them, more than the rest of the ninja, that whatever happened was just to show the sadness and advance the plot further (you'll see what I'm talking about ;)
Aaaaaanyways, I really hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Please review! Constructive criticism is welcomed!
