Third Person POV

This was all Kai's fault.

"K-Kai?"

He should've got there sooner.

"Lloyd, baby stay with me, okay?"

To protect him.

"..it...hurts.."

But now...he's here.

"I know, I know, please just hang in there, everything's going to be okay." he pulled the blonde closer to his chest.

This mission was supposed to be quick. Difficult, but quick with the two working together. They had a concrete plan, too. But somehow kai separated himself from Lloyd and when he found him...he was on the ground, shaking. Blood all over his gi, the fabric having a huge rip which revealed the giant gash in his stomach.

He had sent out a distress call to the Bounty, but nobody responded yet. So he was stuck here, doing his best to keep Lloyd alive. For a few minutes it seemed to work until the blonde said this...

"K-Kai...it hurts..so much...I can't keep my eyes open...." he cried, voice cracking.

The red ninja's heart broke. he hated to see his love like this, hated himself for causing it. Kai bit his lip as it trembled, dreading what he was about to say. "Then...then y-you can...you can sleep." He forced himself to smile. "Just close your eyes okay? And..and I'll be here when you wake up."

"O-Okay..." the blonde smiled. He looked so guilty and sorry for falling asleep, but his eyes finally closed as he muttered, "I love you.."

"I love you too..." his breath hitched, tears finally spilling from his eyes. "I've always loved you...and- and I always will."









"Kai, are you here?" a familiar, robotic voice echoed. It was Zane!

"Y-Yes, we're here!" he yelled beck, standing up and cradling the boy in his arms. "Lloyd's- he's hurt, please help!"

The droid raced into the room holding his walkie. "I got your call, the others are-" he stopped talking as he saw Lloyd in his arms. He looked back up at Kai, and the brunette's eyes were clouded in guilt. "I-I'm sorry." he stuttered.

Zane shakily checked his pulse, and he was filled with relief. "He's still breathing, but we don't have much time, follow me to the Bounty."
