Llorumi Oneshots - NINJAGO Fanfiction

Redemption

This title is for both me and Harumi because I feel like I need redemption, after what I did to you guys last time I updated at least ... But I'm not paying for therapy, not my fault you didn't read the fine print :)

Inspiration for oneshot ^

NOTES
• Harumi and Lloyd are aged up
• Garmadon has memories by now in the plot
• Little Lloyd suffered from separation anxiety as a child
• The Generals are not so much wackos as in canon

Harumi was humming her spider lullaby in the armoury as she organised through weapons. She ran her fingers across the blades to check they were the real deal and not the trainee swords.
She swayed her body a little to the tune, loving the peace the song brought to her, despite how dark it was.

She suddenly stopped as she felt two tiny hands grab onto the sides of her left knee from behind.
Who the hell, had hands as tiny as these touching her? No one.
Who the hell, infiltrated the base?!
How the hell, did a CHILD GET IN HERE?

Harumi heard a small whimper before she turned to see who or what was clinging to her. She was met with the sight of a little blonde child with a skeleton hoodie, his face buried into her leg.

"...Hey little guy?" Harumi spoke, putting a hand on the boy's back. "Hey, it's okay. Who are you?"

The boy kept his grip on her but raised his head, he looked up at her as emerald green eyes blinked softly at her.

"I don't know where I am.. I was at a village and now I'm here.." the child whimpered.

Harumi knew those eyes: Lloyd, Lloyd's eyes.
Did he have a child? No, hell no.
Is this another version of him?

Harumi crouched down and opened her arms. Whoever, wherever and whenever this Lloyd was, he was scared. He needed a cuddle.

"It's alright buddy, come here.." Harumi said softly, surprised at how quickly he zipped into her arms, his arms and legs wrapping around her body like a koala.
Harumi stroked his back gently as she stood up, humming her lullaby softly. She swayed her body left and right gently, helping him calm down.

She kept the words out as she didn't want to freak him out.

She questioned why he came to her, in honesty. Didn't she look scary stood by weapons and covered in black clothing?
Apparently not.

"Where do you come from little one?" Harumi asked softly as she held him with one arm and signed her name on the log as she continued swaying and humming.

"I dunno really.. I used to be in Bad Boy Boarding school.."

"You seem sweet, that's my kind of bad boy." Harumi said jokingly, getting a little giggle out of Lloyd as he continued to cling to her.

"What's your name?" Harumi asked as they left the room, using the key on her belt to unlock and lock the door.

"Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon.."

So it IS him!

"I'm the son of Lord Garmadon, leader of the Skelton Army!" Lloyd said proudly, earning a small smile off of Harumi's lips.

"You're too adorable." Harumi commented, she walked along the hallway. "Alright let's see if I can find my friends.."

Harumi managed to find the other generals to hopefully keep Lloyd busy while she went to inform the Emperor about... whatever was going on.

Sadly, Lloyd had other plans.

Despite Killow playing with him, Lloyd realised Harumi was gone less than twenty seconds of her absence. He'd begin to cry and wouldn't settle until he got to run over to her again, snuggling his face into her shoulder once she picked him up.

Ultraviolet offered to go tell the Emperor what had happened so Harumi could stay with Lloyd. The white-haired female agreed after seeing Lloyd wouldn't accept that she had to go talk to his future-time father.
Harumi sat down in one of the seats with Lloyd in her lap while Mr. E played peakaboo with the little blonde.

After five minutes, Ultra returned to say that the Emperor mentioned that it sounded like an aftereffect from a previous fight to do with the elemental masters of time, and that Lloyd should be pulled back within forty-eight hours.

Lloyd was sat on Harumi's bed as he watched her work at her desk, writing on some report forms.

"Rumi-Doomie?" Lloyd spoke up with a tired voice. Harumi turned to him. "Where are you sleeping?"

"Beside the bed you're sat on, I have a spare pillow and blanket."

"Is it okie if I sleep now then?"

"Of course Skelly, would you like the lamp on or off?"

"On please." Little Lloyd said before he cuddled up in her bed's covers.

Harumi smiled to herself as she soon heard little snoozes coming from him. She sighed to herself as she leant back in her chair, stretching her fingers. She had made an indent in her skin from her pen.
She grabbed her spare pillow and blanket from the closet before setting them up beside the bed.

She halted once she heard some footsteps down the hallway.. She rushed to her desk and grabbed one of the two weapons there, her sword.
She slowly opened her door and locked it behind her, no one could get in but Little Lloyd could get out if he needed to.

She took a few steps until she was at the corner, getting ready to strike whoever was lurking at this hour. Her shadow must've given her away though, as her blade was grabbed and tossed aside almost instantly. Her back was shoved into the wall and her wrists held by two hands.

"Gah!-" Harumi frowned as her aching back hit the wall, her eyes running over the shadowed figure to see who it was.

Emerald green.

"Leave her alone!" a squeaky little voice called as Little Lloyd was at the other end of the hallway with Harumi's second weapon, a bo staff - the one she used for training.

"Huh?! Who's that- wha?!" Lloyd was at a loss for words.

...Two Lloyds can be in the same room at once?
