When Kai suddenly fainted Nya and Lloyd ran up to him while Zane ran to get sensei Wu. "Kai?!" Nya tried to shake her brother awake but got no response. Zane came running in with Sensei Wu. Wu walked up to the red ninja. He bent down and put a hand on Kai's head, "He doesn't have a fever. He must be having a headache or something. Nya, Lloyd, get Kai to his room. And Zane, see if you can get ahold of Jay and Cole and tell them about the situation. They don't have to rush back, but they should at least know." Zane ran away to contact the two ninjas while Nya and Lloyd carried Kai to his room. They laid Kai on his bed and Nya went to get some medicine for when Kai woke up. Lloyd sat on the edge of Kai's bed, looking at the passed out ninja. He cared deeply for Kai, so he was very worried about the red ninja.

After one hour, Jay and Cole came rushing home being worried about Kai. By that time Kai had still not woken up. One hour after Cole and Jay had come back, Kai finally opened his eyes, his headache was still there, same with the bad feeling in his gut. He groaned and sat up. Lloyd opened the door to Kai's room to find him awake. The green ninja rushed to Kai and gave him a hug, "I'm so glad you're okay." "What happened?" "You fainted. You've been passed out for two hours." "Oh..Where are the others?" "They are in the living room. But Kai, what happened?" Kai put a hand on his forehead, "I don't really know. I woke up this morning with a headache, and then I just fainted." "Do you still have a headache?" "Yeah. It's a little better, but it's still there." Lloyd handed Kai a glass of water, "Here, drink this." Kai took the water and drank it. When Kai had gulped the water down he handed the glass to Lloyd. Lloyd took the glass and walked to the doorway, "Get some rest now. I'll tell the others you're awake." Lloyd then walked out from the room, closing the door behind him, leaving Kai alone in his room. Kai rubbed his head hoping the pain would ease a little. But it didn't. Kai groaned in frustration. He slowly stood up and exited his room. He made his way down the hallway, towards the living room. He came to the doorway and saw the others sitting on the couch and in the armchairs. Nya turned her head when she heard the floorboards creak under Kai's feet. "Kai?!" Nya ran up to him and hugged him causing Kai to almost fall back. "I was worried about you." Kai hugged back, "I know." The siblings let go of the hug and Kai almost lost his balance for a moment. Nya looked at him, "You might need to sit down." Kai nodded and Nya helped him to the couch. Kai didn't like when others worried about him but right now, he knew they wouldn't stop. "How are you feeling? Zane asked the red ninja. "The headache is a little better. So I'm getting better." "What happened?" "I don't really know. I woke up with a headache this morning and then just fainted." "It might have been that you were just tired." "Yeah, maybe. I'll try to get some more sleep tonight, I don't think I can fall asleep now anyway so I won't even try." Jay stepped up, "How about we spend the rest of the day watching some TV and eating snacks?" Everyone smiled and nodded, well everyone except Kai. The bad feeling in his gut wouldn't go away and he was worried about it. Jay and Cole went to the kitchen and got some snacks while the others choose a movie.

Five hours later the others had one by one gone to sleep, everyone except Kai. Lloyd was the last one to leave. He looked at Kai, "I think you should go to bed." Kai smiled at him, "I promise that I will, soon." "Okay, but if I find you here tomorrow morning then I will ask my uncle for a sleeping tea." Lloyd then left. Kai's headache had stopped a while ago so he wasn't really tired anymore. Kai turned off the TV, he didn't really want to watch it anymore anyway. When the TV was off, silence filled the living room. The moonlight made its way through the windows giving off a calming blue-white light. Kai had wrapped himself in a blanket and just stared into nothingness while thinking. That's when he heard it, the same wicked chuckle from the night before. The chuckle made Kai's bad feeling grow. Kai turned his head and scanned through the room. His eyes stopped at the corner by the doorway to the hallway. In the darkness of the corner, a pair of red eyes were staring at Kai. Kai didn't move, his body was frozen in fear. The eyes suddenly disappeared and Kai gained back the ability to move. He turned his head forward and almost let out a scream when he saw a person standing right in front of him. The man had black hair that was styled in spikes just like Kai's. His eyes were blood red and his skin was a light shade of grey. He was wearing a black hoodie that was ripped in some places on the sleeves. His pants were a pair of black, ripped jeans. And his shoes were black sneakers. He had a silver chain with a dragon hanging around his neck. His face was almost an exact copy of Kai's, except for a scar over his left eye, instead of just over the eyebrow. Kai stared at the man, his eyes filled with fear, "W-Who are y-you? W-what do you want?" Kai's voice was shaking with fear which made the man smirk. "I want to help."
