Lya200: Thanks again :-) Also I think they have Nya wearing red because Kai's her brother, it draws some sort of familial connection between them.

needaprofile: Thank you, thank you!)

Kai's POV

I thought Jay didn't know about my argument with Nya. Turns out I was very wrong. He knew, and he was mad about it.

"Are you saying you doubt me? Doubt I'm a good guy?"

"No, I'm not..."

"Are you saying you aren't my friend?"

"No, I'm not, Jay! Stop being ridiculous..."

"You can't have Nya all to yourself, you know!"

"Jay, calm down..."

"It's an unspoken rule of ninja brother-ness, man. We don't mess with each other's girls!"

"JAY!"

"WHAT!"

I lowered my voice down to a normal tone. "First of all, brother-ness isn't a word. Second of all, I am not 'messing with' Nya, nor do I want her 'all to myself'. You just...don't know what it's like to lose your parents. Nya's all the family I got right now. I don't want...I guess I thought that if you two were married, it would come between us and we would start growing apart."

Jay looked a little less angry now. "Well...yeah, I see where you're coming from. I haven't ever lost my parents - obviously, ugh I still haven't gotten over that time they visited here - but I know what it's like, not having anyone. Everyone kinda feels like that sometime in their life, right?"

"I guess."

"Yeah. But, be honest with yourself man, what do you honestly think life would be like for all of us if Nya and I were married?"

I thought about that for a second. "Well, we kinda live together and see each other all the time anyway, so that really wouldn't change."

"True."

"Sensei Wu would probably give us - or at least you - twice the amount of advice."

"Oh, gee whiz...you're probably right..."

"Oh, and maybe Cole or Zane or I would even start thinking about finding someone ourselves."

"Yep."

"Maybe I like the idea after all."

"Well I sure hope so.", said Nya, who had just come in.

"I do. I'm sorry for saying the things I did."

"Ditto."
