Jaya Oneshots and Stories

Thunderclouds

I didn't know this was physically possible of me to do but... set after season 4, Tournament of Elements.

Can you believe this? My very first post-Rebooted fanfic where Nya and Jay are not together? I can't either. Enjoy!

Nya's arm jerked away when Jay's elbow lightly brushed against it, her skin immediately on fire and feeling every touch at once, goosebumps raised to the maximum. The Blue Ninja glared at her through a side-eye as he continued to reach for the salt that was in the center of the dining table.

Nya scoffed and looked back down at her food, lifted her fork, and placed a bite of macaroni covered in vegan cheese into her mouth.

The tension in the room intensified.

It had been like that for the majority of their interactions. None of them wanted to be in the presence of the other, but being a ninja and Samurai X, they could not really hide from each other.

The macaroni was blazingly hot, but that didn't deter Nya from chewing on without a single look of pain on her face, though her mouth was on fire.

"Ninja," Wu said, dabbing at the corner of his mouth with a paper towel. He cleared his throat. "I will be going on an exploration trip with Misako. I do not know when I will be back, but I will try to keep it as short as possible."

"What are you looking for?" Lloyd asked his uncle.

Wu placed the paper towel aside and looked at his nephew. "Misako thinks there is a way to combat vengestone without it disabling your powers when being exposed to it, but it is only a theory."

"Whoa." Kai and Cole exchanged amazed looks, and Jay's eyebrows rose in a surprised manner. Zane hummed, intrigued, and Lloyd's eyes widened.

Nya didn't really care since she had no part to take place in. She had no powers so the whole vengestone shtick didn't faze her.

"When will you go?" Cole wondered.

Wu stroked his beard. "Today, actually. Misako will meet me at the—"

"Incoming alert. I repeat: Incoming alert." Everyone stopped moving and listened to what Pixal had to say through the loudspeakers. "A criminal group has been seen vandalizing the city and terrorizing civilians. About twenty-five men. Weapons drawn. Last seen on Grandholm Street in NC. An elderly woman, who has been hit with a baseball bat but claims she does not have any lasting injuries, told me she has already called the police but they apparently didn't take her seriously so she's contacted us."

"Of course they didn't," Kai mumbled to the others, then turned back to the loudspeaker in the corner of the dining room. "We'll be there."

All six around the table stood up at the same time, but the only female stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the dominating male gender.

She hated that feeling. She also hated how they all looked at her, like they secretly didn't want her to come but couldn't tell her because she was, after all, still a part of them, ninja or not. She had proven that time and time again.

"I don't think Sam X is needed for this one, sis," Kai said. "We'll get you if we need you, though."

"And hey, a day off is great, isn't it?" Cole tried to lighten her mood with a smile and a shrug, but all he received was a glowering from her part.

Nya pursed her lips and sat back down, her eyes cast down at her plate. Raging and voicing her thoughts, raw and unfiltered, was enticing, but she knew now was not the time to do that. She needed to think rationally and professionally, and that meant she knew they had to go to the crime scene quickly to prevent bad things from happening further.
