The Song in the Sky

Chapter 11

Sensei Wu's POV:

Finally I had made my way into the control room. Luckily, the room was not covered in fog, and the rocking had stopped. I calmly walked over to the wheel and turned on the boosters. I flew the ship up slowly, then off into the skies. I looked out the window, and the fog cleared, indicating we have lost Hazu. I blew a breath of relief. Just then I noticed Hazu, sending Mizu the strangest glare right before jumping off the ship, and disappearing into the clouds.

Everyone slowly began to group back together on the deck, good..looks like nobody was hurt. However...

Mizu..

Uta's POV:

Once the fog had cleared and I could see Mizu, I started running towards her.

"Mizu! Are you ok?!" I panicked.

"I'm alright." She answered with a slight laugh, she turned to Lloyd, "You ok?" She asked him.

I looked down and noticed the two holding hands. I jumped back in surprise then smiled at Mizu.

"I'm fine. For some reason he went easy on me.." Lloyd answered and scratched his neck. Mizu smiled and looked at me. I gestured down at their hands. Once she realized it, she jumped back, pulling their hands apart.

"Sorry!" She exclaimed nervously. I laughed. Lloyd looked at her for a moment, smiling.

"It's ok. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have gotten away." Lloyd replied kindly. I noticed the light pink tint dusting his cheeks as he looked down at Mizu, who stood roughly five inches shorter than he.

"Yes, yes, I ship it." I smiled and mumbled to myself.

"What?" Lloyd looked at me,

"Nothing!" I cheered and merrily headed back inside, Mizu and Lloyd followed.

Once in doors, we were met with the others who were taking refuge in the basement. They looked sort of depressed, not being able to fight. But we can't risk losing the ninja again.

"Hey! You're ok!" Nya exclaimed, while walking towards us. She gave us each a hug.

"You're walking again!" I was excited for her, she wasn't used to laying down 24/7 and she hates feeling useless, which is what she clearly explained to me in one of our many conversations.

"Yeah! It's really exciting! Just.. it's making me a little tired." Jay got her a seat and she sat down.

"That's understandable. It's hard being up and moving after laying down for so long." Mizu smiled.

I knew Mizu had had the experience. She was put on bedrest for a few weeks after the accident, those days were the worst. She got so restless, she would always try to get up. It got to the point where I had to stay in her room with her and ensure that she wouldn't leave. The worst part was having to sit there and look at her, with the bandages on her head. But she never stopped smiling. She never really has stopped smiling since that day, even when she's sleeping, she always has a slight smile.

"Utaaaa~?" Mizu was waving a hand in front of my face.

"Hmm? What?" I snapped back to the present.

"You just seemed to get sad all of a sudden." Mizu cocked her head, looking at me.

"Sorry, I just zoned out for a second.." I replied casually. Mizu giggled, then helped Jay assist Nya up the stairs.

We all went to deck to try and find clues as to what exactly we're dealing with. While we were looking around, I thought I heard someone walk onto deck, but everyone, including Nya, was out here.
