Eight.
Misako's POV
(A/N: Basically my take on how Misako met Garmadon. Thought of by a Wusako shipper, so my opinion on this particular bit of history may differ from yours.)
Knock knock. "Come in!"
Lloyd entered the room. "Hey, Mom?"
"Yes, Lloyd?"
"Um...this might not be a good time to ask, um..."
"Yes?"
"But, uh...what exactly happened between you and Uncle Sensei?"
I was surprised. How did he know about that? How much did he know? Did he know what was still happening between us? "Well...it's not much to explain. I was a friend of your uncle's, who met your father through him. Wu and I had been talking for some time about taking our relationship to the next level. Then, when I met Garmadon...I decided there was something I liked, that I loved, about him. His sense of humor, and his eyes...oh those eyes. Anyway, then, before I had time to truly think out my feelings about either of them, Garmadon and I found out that we were going to have you. We became engaged right after that, and married a few months later. Then, you were born. And then...it happened."
"What happened?"
"Your father fell. He attempted to steal the Golden Weapons from your uncle and use them for evil, and then ended up in the Underworld."
"Oh...okay. But then...what happened when you met Uncle again?"
I drew back. "None of your business, Lloyd."
"Oh, okay. Sorry?"
I suddenly realized I had been harsh. "It's alright, Lloyd. You didn't do anything." I turned away.
"Uh, Mom? Are you okay?"\
"Yes, Lloyd. I'm okay." Truth was I wasn't. But Lloyd wouldn't understand.
I really don't understand myself.
(A/N: Short, angsty chapter...I know it doesn't have as much drama as the Misako chapters usually do. I just wanted to tell my imagined version of Misako's past with Garmadon and Wu.)
(Next chapter: Kai, this time getting yelled at by Jay for "messing with" his "girl".)
