(A/N: On a PM'd prompt from webchow, I may be continuing MisakoxWu in this story. Just thought I'd give you fair warning in case you don't like. Oh, and, all chapters are going to be 1 POV from now one, rotating between Misako, Kai, and Lloyd.)
Misako's POV
Life with Garmadon had never been easy. It was even harder now, because of what he had done. It doesn't matter whether he's your husband or not, it's hard to just forget when someone has just allied with the Overlord, greatest evil Ninjago has ever known, corrupted and/or destroyed everything and everyone in the city, and then tried to kill his own son... It wasn't something you just "forgave and forgot" like *that*.
"Are you okay, Misako?" It was Wu.
"Oh...Wu...I, uh, didn't hear you come in."
"Sorry. I just wanted to discuss Lloyd."
"What about him?"
"What prompted his decision to return to Darkly's? Did he wish to better himself? Did he want to see his friends? Did the school invite him to teach fighting skills or stealth or ethics or general "ninja-ing"?"
"He told me he just wanted to return and see the changes the teachers had made since it switched from Boarding School for Bad Boys. He told me they'd even be inviting girls."
"Girls? Lloyd, and girls? Oh, no."
Then the phone rang. I picked it up. "Destiny's Bounty, Misako Garmadon speaking."
"Mom? Hey, mom, it's Lloyd."
It's Lloyd, I mouthed to Wu, still holding the phone.
"Mom, I just wanted to tell you I'm uh...staying a few more days."
"I thought you were just going to stay until ten, seeing Brad and Gene."
"I am, but uh, um, uhum, I met someone knew...she wants me to stay..."
"She?"
"The school's first girl. Her name's Natalia."
"Oh, okay. Well, be home by Thursday, okay son?"
"No probs, Mom."
At least this would give me a few more days to sort out my feelings.
Wu smiled at me as he got up and left the room.
