Ninja Possession {Completed}

Chapter Seven

A/N: I personally apologize for what's about to happen in this chapter

Special thanks to Flame-Dragon for helping me with the dialogue in said sinful part

Warning: One major-ass swear word

Lizz got up and followed behind the group, idling in the doorway of the ink-splattered room, "Looks like someone got murdered in here..." she muttered dryly.

Jay threw his hands up, looking at the three messy symbols, "But what does it all mean?"

Sensei put one hand on his hip and used the other to stroke his beard, "Father told me long ago that he would leave a message, leading me to his final resting place. After he passed, I looked everywhere for it, not knowing it was in my hand all this time."

Kai turned to watch Sensei walk back into the hall, "You mean to tell us-"

Sensei had already made it back up to the top deck and was sliding down a rope when he began speaking again, "Yes. These symbols will lead us to The Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master," one by one the NInja all slid down the rope, following after Sensei as he walked, "The only problem is... I haven't the foggiest idea what any of them mean."

"But if Morro is trying to find the tomb," Kai began frantically, "Then we gotta find it first."

"Hey," Cole beamed, "Maybe Misako can help decipher the clues since she's a total history buff!"

Zane raised his arm, a sudden silver falcon resting on his forearm, "Pixal. Release the falcon and send her our location," the bird took flight, soaring into the calm treetops.

"Good," Sensei praised, "Then, we set up camp." 

"Let's split up in pairs and go get some firewood for a fire," Cole decided, "Zane, you're with me."

"I'll go with Nya!" Jay called, running after Nya's retreating figure.

Kai sauntered his way over to Lizz, "I'll pair off with Lizz."

Lizz grit her teeth and shook off Kai's arm, "I think I'd rather go by myself."

Kai looked hurt, "Wait, why-"

"Kai," she spun on her heel to face him, "I just got Lloyd back and he's been possessed by a freakin' ghost. Do my a favour and just leave me alone, alright? I need to think..."

Kai reached towards her, "Lizz-"

"Fuck off, Kai," she snapped, going after Cole and Zane. She took a deep breath and looked at Zane, steadying her temper before speaking, "Hey, Zane?"

"You would like to switch partners with me," Zane smiled at her, "I will gladly pair off with Kai."

Lizz gave Zane a quick hug and a kiss to his cheek, "Thank you, Zane."

Cole waited for Lizz to step up to his side before starting to walk further into the woods. They stopped once in a while to pick up some wood, but other than the gentle clank clank of wood hitting wood the two were silent.

Cole had his back to her, stooping slightly to pick up a few branches, "Lizz, why didn't you want to go with Kai?"  

 Lizz stood and tucked a chunk of bark under her arm. She opened her mouth, but hesitated, trying to find the right words, "Uh... I just need time away from that one for a little while. Like," she turned back around to face him, "He's a good guy and all, but he's a little... physical... and now's not the time to do that I mean Lloyd just got possessed. Like, what the hell? How does that even happen?"
