Chapter 65
Age and Power Limits

.:Violet:.

A cold chill swept over her body, resulting Violet to jolt up awake. Her eyes roamed over the room to see that the window was open. With a soft sigh, she walked over and closed it and looked back to Nya. The poor girl was shivering underneath her blankets. Violet grabbed her blanket and placed it over her new roommate. Knowing she wouldn't be to get back to sleep, she quickly changed into warm clothes and grabbed a small notebook and pen before exiting their room. Her footsteps were awfully loud in the quiet hallway of the Bounty, each step made the wood creak underneath. Violet jogged up the stairs that led onto the decks.

She smiled softly that she was the only one up here but she wasn't ready yet. Violet walked up the other set of stairs and into the kitchen. She boiled a kettle and she started to prepare the spare tea pot and cup. Once that was done, she carried both items onto the decks and she sat down, leaning against the mast. The ninja of purple slowly sipped her tea as her hand readied the notebook in her laps. Like Nathan suggested, she was going to write all her powers and abilities down. First, she wrote the name of the book on the cover.

Violet's Book of Powers and Abilities.

She wrote with careful orchestrated strokes. After writing that, she flicked to the first page and wrote down her first ability: Invisibility.

The ability to walk or fight in pain view of other people but without being seen. Before unlocking true potential, it can only be used for two hours with five hours recharge. Now, it can be used for the desired time owner/user wants to use it for. No shadows are casted as well but sounds created by user can still be heard.

Satisfied with her explanation, Violet pondered what she should write next. Soon, she got carried away in her little world of writing she didn't notice someone come up the stairs until she heard them clear their throat. She looked up and greeted him with a smile.

"Morning Lloyd, I really have to get used to your new appearance." She said softly as he made his way to floor next to her. Violet waited for a response but when she didn't get one, she looked at him with concern. "What's wrong?"

"Does this mean the final battle between me and my father much closer?" She heard him ask in a quivering voice. Violet smiled sadly and placed an arm over his shoulder for comfort. It seemed really odd since he used to be smaller than her.

"Yes. I do believe it'll be much closer but you have us Lloyd and we'll be with you along every step."

"Thanks Violet." Lloyd said with a forced smile as he looked down to her notebook. "What are you writing?"

"Nathan suggested I should write down my abilities into a book so I can remember them." She replied and then she closed with book. "Why don't we train? This way we can see what you can do with your new body… That's if you want too."

"No, I do. I think that'll take my mind off things."

So Violet quickly finished her tea and she levitated the objects to the side. The then two went to the middle of the deck, with Violet on one side and Lloyd on the other. She quickly took off her boots and socks –to prevent slipping on the decks- and embrace the cold with her feet. Then she slipped off her jacket.

"Aren't you cold?" She asked Lloyd but he shook his head. Instantly, he ran toward her with speed she never saw him ran before. It took her by surprise. She quickly stepped to the side but the Green Ninja quickly turned to face her. He threw a punch towards her shoulders and she caught his hand but with the momentum, she fell back.

"I think you're getting rusty Violet."

"Ha ha, very funny." She rolled her eyes as she got up and faced Lloyd again. This time, she ran forward and swiftly dodged his leg by bending backwards and she let her feet slide against the cold boards. When she straightened her back, Lloyd's back was facing her so she went to kick it. As quick as lightning, Lloyd turned around and grabbed her foot. "How did you improve so quickly?"

"While you were gone, the guys have been teaching me how to fight without relying on my elemental powers. Plus in this body, I feel much faster and my senses seemed to be keener… Does that even make sense?"

"Yeah, it does. I'm impressed." Violet complimented but with a new trick, she hopped on her foot that Lloyd wasn't holding and she spun her whole body. This caused the blonde to yelp out and let go. The side effect was that Violet pretty much belly-flop the deck.

"Ouch, that gotta hurt."

"It does!" Violet wheezed as she grasped her stomach. "I've never done that before and I'll never do it again."

"Here, let me help you." The ninja of air watched as Lloyd extended a hand out to her. She grasped it and he hauled her onto her feet.

"Maybe you're right. I'm getting rusty." She muttered bitterly.

"Or I'm a much better fighter now."

"Nah-ah. Not in a million years. Let's try our powers."

"Do we have to?" He whined but she laughed.

"It'll help you. Come on; show me what you got tiger." She mused and she stepped back. Instantly, lightning shot out of Lloyd's hand and Violet dived to the side. She quickly threw her arm out and the air knocked the young man down. When she got up, Lloyd got up as well. Instantly, the decks shook beneath their feet and she panicked.

"Don't use quakes, you'll wake everybody up."

"Opps, sorry." He muttered his apologised but he end created a green, energy orb between his hands. Immediately, Violet didn't know what to do. Would it hurt? Would she be able to even dodge. When Lloyd shot it, the female raise her arms and a barrier encircled her but as soon as the energy ball contacted it, the barrier diminished and Violet ended up getting it and went tumbling down the stairs and into the lower decks of the ship.

"Violet..?" When she looked up, she found herself staring into dark blue eyes.

"Oh good morning Nathan." She smiled and she quickly stood up, ignoring the soreness in her back.

"Violet, are you okay?" Lloyd's voice was heard from the top of the stairs.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit sore."

.:Kai:.

He couldn't sleep at all. The image of Violet's eyes tearing up at the harsh words he said plague his mind. That was one of the many reasons he couldn't sleep –apart from Jay's and Cole's loud snores. Kai was beyond mad at himself for getting angry like that. How come whenever he gets mad, he end up hurting more people and himself? Plus there's that Nathan guy. But what really got him thinking about the new member are his swords. Kai knows those swords; they were the ones he crafted with his father. The ninja of fire wondered for hours how would this samurai get his hands on it. Kai never sold them, he kept them as a memory but this dude has them! The other reason he hated- no, disliked Nathan was how close he already was with Violet.

Then at one point, Lloyd got up and walked out of them room. Kai didn't make any moves to stop the kid- er… young man or to ask him where he's going. The thing that got Kai out of bed was when there was talking in the hallway. The red ninja was amazed at how Cole, Jay and Zane can sleep through the entire racket. When he opened the door and poked his head out, he saw Nathan helping Violet off the floor.

Why were they on the floor?

He asked himself and then he saw Lloyd head down the stairs. Immediately he thought of the worst. Kai will admit it himself that Lloyd looks so much… manly after aging from the tea and what may count as 'hot' in the girls' eyes but Violet wasn't checking Nathan and Lloyd out right..? He walked out of his room –despite the fact he was still wearing pyjamas- and walked up to the three.

"Good morning. What's with all of the noise?" He asked and immediately, Violet looked the other way.

"Sorry, Violet and I were training on the decks and I… umm… sort of pushed her down the stairs but Nathan just arrived helped her up." Lloyd informed him. He nodded stiffly, trying to hide the bubbling anger inside of him.

"Hey Kai, can we talk? Alone?" He heard Violet asked.

"Okay." Immediately, she jogged up the stairs and he followed her, ignoring the stares Lloyd and Nathan were giving him. He shivered at the cold wind that bit his skin as he walked onto the decks. They both walked to the other side of the decks before she turned around.

"Look, I really want to apologise about last night… I should have let you talked-" But Kai quickly silenced her by placing a finger on her refined lips.

"You don't have to apologise to me. You have every reason to be mad at me. I mean I've been acting like a d*** lately and I've let my anger take control over me… again." Kai sighed softly as his hand moved to Violet's jawline. "I didn't mean those words, I swear!"

"Hey, listen to me," Her voice was soft, she didn't look mad, hurt or sad anymore with relieved him in so many ways, "I know you didn't mean them just like how you didn't mean those words you said to me and Zane when the monastery got burnt. You were just angry and the way you release that anger is through words or punches. Don't worry, I forgive you."

"But I've hurt you so much…"

"Kaen, please don't worry." The girl in front of him smiled softly but her face turned into concern in a matter of seconds. "But I know something is bothering you… what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong." He lied and he rubbed his thumb along her cheekbone. "Why do you ask?"

"Well you've been treating Nathan like he's a stranger-"

"Because he is one to me."

"But you're not giving him a chance. He's like a brother to me. He was Scarlett's non-related brother which makes him my brother. Plus do you remember that girl we found that looked like me?"

"Yeah..?"

"That was his girlfriend. But he's a really good samurai and I've thought maybe he can teach you-"

"But I'm fine on my own Sumire. I don't need someone to teach me, that's what we got Sensei Wu for." He muttered but then he heard a light laughter. "What's so funny?"

"Are you jealous?" Violet asked him, her lavender eyes peering into his.

"W-What?! No, of course not!"

"Ooh yeah, you're jealous alright. Are you afraid of me preferring Nathan over you?"

"I'm not jea-"

"I want the truth."

"Yes… I'm afraid he would take the girl I love away from me. Call me selfish but I don't want to share you."

"Aww, Kai. You don't have to worry. Of course I won't prefer him over you. First of all, he's four years older than me so it would be really awkward; second, he's a brother to me just like Zane. And thirdly, he's not as good-looking as you are." Violet told him and Kai brought her into a tight hug. Having her say that to him reassured all the worrying thoughts he had last night. His arms softly squeezed around her small frame and his nose nested in her caramel hair which smelt of lavender. Such a coincidence.

But when the stairs creaked loudly, the ninja of fire knew it wasn't the soft steps of his sister or Sensei Wu or the quiet steps of a ninja. It was Nathan. Quickly, to prove that Violet was his, Kai bend forward and kissed Violet on the lips. One of his arms held her head while the other one secured around her waist. He pushed deeper into the kiss by urging more from her and making her lean back. He watched as Violet's eyes closed and a pink hue marred her cheeks. In the corner or his eyes, he saw Nathan turn around and ran back into the lower decks. Just because Nathan was gone didn't mean Kai was ready to pull away. He slyly nibbled on her bottom lip and instantly his tongue invaded her mouth. A soft moan vibrated from her mouth and into his and a smirk appeared on Kai's mouth. They continued this until he felt Violet pulled away softly, her face bright red.

"What was that for?" The purple ninja asked and he smirked even wider.

"To show how much I love you."
