Warm steam filled the clouded air. Baths are always the best time of the day for me.

Complete quiet time away from all the loudmouths.

All of it is perfect except the feeling of my heart trying to leap straight out of my chest. This place is trying to kill me out here.

Unlike the feeling fading, as it normally has for the past few hours it stayed. A rough thumping erupted from the middle of my chest.

The green orb was back. Annoyingly.

“Do you need something?” I ask out loud, my voice bouncing around the room, echoing. A sound of alert came from outside the door along with quick footsteps leading away.

The orb on my chest faded along with the sound.

“Jeez.” stupid light.

Humming a small tune, my peaceful travel through the hall was interrupted by arguing from another room.

Well, that and my chest practically lurched to be in there.

Sliding the door open the only thing I could see was the angry faces of the ninja, and Wu standing beside Lloyd.

Zane’s uniform was now pink.

“Oh! Y/n” At the mention of my name the child flinched hiding behind Wu a bit more.

I wonder what he did.

“Nice clothes." Cole compliments as I made my way besides him.

“Thanks man, i honestly chose this one on accident-” They're getting too used to sidetracking me by giving me a simple compliment. “Wait, what's going on?”

“Sensei Wu put this brat up to mess with our stuff!” Kai answers crossing his arms.

“Oh-” I glanced over to the two, “What exactly is that supposed to teach?”

“I wanted to show them the destructive power of rumors and that jumping to conclusions can only lead to trouble.”

Cole sat his hand on my shoulder, “Today's lesson was lame."

“Yeah, why can't you just teach us to paralyze your enemy with one finger, or find out if a man is lying by the twitch of his nose?” Jay asks pouting.

Wu scratched his cheek, “Because not all lessons are about fighting. And I misplaced my lesson book.”

Lloyd smiled innocently, although my eyes caught a familiar shaped book hidden behind his back.

“Someone found it,” I mutter causing Kai to step towards him and swipe it away.

“It was the perfect plan until you have to show up and mess everything up—”

"Oh shut up, Scooby-Doo," Rolling my eyes, I closed the door on Lloyd, muffling his childish.

The speaker on the wall crackled, welcoming the voice of Nya, “If you're done fooling around, I could use you guys on the bridge. We do still have a snake problem to attend to. Over and out!”

“It's one thing to let the son of your nemesis live with you. But having my sister here? I mean, come on! I thought this was a ninja headquarters.” Kai grumbles.

“You do know I can hear you. . . over and out!”

The red ninja slaps his head.

"Dude, be nicer to her."

His eyes darted to me, "Don't tell me that it effects me in the future because your a prophet-"

"I'm staying this for you're relationship."
