To Love, To Kill (Kai x Reader)

Chapter 5

"Kiss your dreams goodbye, Ninjago"

The next day, I began to plan. Getting close with the ninja will be easy through Kai. I still couldn't believe how quick I was able to learn the identities of the Secret Ninja Force.

But, I also had to worry about Chen. An obstacle that knew both identities of the Secret Ninja Force and the assassin. He had leverage over me. But he knew what I was capable of. And I knew that he was too much of a pussy to actually rat me out.

Currently, I need to be on the down-low and work on my class project with Kai. If I'm failing school, then I'll be singled out and people will piece together the reason behind everything.

So, I was lucky when Chen didn't argue with me about sitting with Lloyd and his friends today. They were nothing to me until this assignment. I didn't even know about them until that day. But, that's changed now. Now, I'll be doing everything I can to complete this task.

And from the numerous methods I was taught, I was going to execute the fastest way to deceive them ninja. Turning your enemies into your friend, but for the worst possible outcome for them.

"Hey Y/n, aren't you and Chen supposed to be hanging out with each other?" Kai asked. I shook my head, glad that the half-lie of what happened between us will work in my favor.

"Chen and I had an argument yesterday. He was being overly protective and never let me meet you guys because of how much he hates Lloyd. And I figured I'd just hang out with you all just to show him that I was right and he was wrong."

"So you're using us?" Lloyd asked, not convinced of my story.

"It might look bad, but I promise that I won't backstab you the more we hang out. I don't have many friends besides Chen. We had a close call when we were 10 and barely survived." I began.

The six glance at me as if I was going to continue the story. But I knew that the old me was trying to break out for that story to come up. And I didn't want them to know that I was the assassin. Because they wouldn't understand the things that were going to happen to us if I hadn't stepped up.

"I don't know if it's just me but, you coming over to us after the assassin tried to hurt everyone at school is kind of suspicious." Jay mumbles. "We aren't anything special..."

'On the contrary, my little lightning ninja.' I thought with a mental smirk.

"The chances of the assassin being a student at our school is about a 1.75% chance. They could be anyone in Ninjago City. It could also be one of us." Zane states.

"But why would any of us have a chance to be the assassin? That's like saying I'm a streamer and a YouTuber when I hardly post content for my fans." Kai suggests. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Are you secretly one, Kai?" I teased. "There's no need to be afraid, I'm not going to judge."

That's when my phone buzzed in my pocket. Pulling it out, it's a message about my status. I simply respond with 'Currently befriending the ninja at school. They are suspicious about who the assassin is.'

Sadly, I didn't notice Lloyd glancing over my shoulder and he didn't say a word. All that he could do was hope that there would be some way to turn me away from the destructive path I was on.
