Morro was left alone. Alone in his room. He looked down at his feet, hitting them in a rhythmic rhythm. He was bored. And alone. Sad that the ninjas made him sit in his room while they were gone. Where? He had no idea.

"Maybe I can see why I have so many scratches.."

He rolled up his sleeves, looking at his scars. He was confused. He didn't know where he got them from. He touched them slowly. He felt no pain now. But on contact with water, he remembered that he had.

"I want to try.."

Morro jumped out of bed and went quietly to the bathroom. He closed the bathroom door, stepping toward the sink. He stood on tiptoe, turning on the water and rolling his hands back. And had put them under the water, the water touching his scar wounds, making him whimper in pain, quickly taking them from under the water.

"It hurts.." Morro whispered, feeling the wounds burning him.

The little one turned off the water, then sat down on the floor, shielding his back on the cold tub. He kept his hands close to him, his knees as well. It burned it a lot. Trying not to cry.

"Y-you wanted to test the theory.. So resist!" He said more to himself, closing his eyes.

Morro suddenly felt tired. He wasn't sure why, but he felt it. The placed his head against the wall, trying to put himself in the most comfortable position, with little chance. Falling asleep there.

"Do you think it's okay that we left Morro alone?" Jay asked, slightly agitated.

He didn't like the fact that they had to leave him alone because his best friend, Cole, wanted a cake the next day and he wanted the chocolate one, and Zane had no ingredients for another cake, so they had to go to store. And for another unknown reason, Wu had come with them and wanted all the Ninjas to come. And Morro was alone with Misako in the whole Monastery.

"My mother is with him." Lloyd answered. He tried to calm him down, even though he didn't like what was happening. He didn't want to admit it, but he had become attached to the tiny Morro. "Will be fine."

"I hope so.."

Misako realized after a while that it was quiet. Too quiet. She expected Morro to come to her. But no sign of the little one. She went to the boy's bedroom, but he was not there. A maternal worry struck her.

"Morro?"

Misako walked through the Monastery until she saw the bathroom light on. She opened the door carefully, seeing the boy on the floor, asleep. Misako breathed a sigh of relief that she had found him and was fine, but she didn't like the fact that he was on the floor and sleeping, on the floor. The woman wanted to take Morro to bed, to sleep comfortably, but Morro had woken up, scared at first. Misako just smiled softly.

"Morro!" She said softly, stepping toward him. "What are you doing here, little one?"

Morro just looked at her, stepping away from her. Misako was confused as to why he had such a reaction.

"What is it, Morro? Did something happen, sweete?"

He just fell silent, looking at her disturbed by her presence. The woman looked at him slightly worried.

"Morro..talk to me, little one. I won't hurt you."

The little one just stood up, running past her and out of the bathroom. Misako called his name, running after him. The black-haired boy locked himself in the bedroom. He climbed into bed and covered himself with a duvet, holding a pillow in his arms, hugging iy tightly to his chest. Misako panicked, not knowing what had happened to him. If he was sick, hurt, felt sad. So she quickly called Lloyd, knowing that Wu was with them. She needed Wu right now. He knows how Morro behaved when he was little. She needs to know what Morro has and how to help him.
