Double Trouble

A/N: A bit of a long one today, I've been rewatching Ninjago and a few episodes have stuck out to me that I'd like to cover so expect more like this soon. I'll also be releasing the next part for my Shadow fic, Warming Up To You, in the next coming days so stay tuned. Enjoy!

Cole Brookstone X Female reader

Ultimate masterlist.

----------------------------------------------------------

"Focus, Lloyd. Control the power inside you. When you feel a surge welling up, harness it." Jay hummed, watching with anticipation as Lloyd held a lightbulb in his hands.

"I understand, I am in control." he groaned out, the lightbulb slowly glowing green. Jay smiled, rubbing his hands together, "Come on, Lloyd. You can do it." he cheered. The bulb continued to get brighter and brighter, the rest of you were standing at the edge of the dojo watching with uncertainty.

As the bulb continued to glow, a cracking sound filled the room. You turned to Cole, whispering a small "Do you hear that?" As the sentence left your mouth, the bulb exploded, shards shattering in a circle around Lloyd.

"Aah! Stupid light bulb! You're putting too much pressure on me, let me have one more try." he begged. Kai walked up to him, placing a reassuring hand on his back, "Ugh, sorry, Lloyd. That was the last light bulb."

Lloyd frowned, you knew he'd been practising extra hard and yet this is all he had to show for it, a bunch of broken bulbs. Cole grabbed a broom from the supply closet and offered it to Lloyd, "Clean up, Lloyd. We'll continue training tomorrow."

The rest of you gathered into a small group, Jay frowned, rubbing his hands against his face in defeat "What am I doing wrong, Sensei Wu? I can't seem to teach him to control his power."

"Patience, Jay. Sometimes, the greatest opponent we face is ourselves, and that's especially true of Lloyd. Remember where he came from, he's the son of Lord Garmadon. It's going to take time for him to embrace the light." Wu stated, wise as always. You all collectively nodded, but you just wish this whole green ninja, light vs dark thing would happen already.

It always felt like you were one step closer to winning but then the rug would be pulled from under you and you'd have to start all over again. Checking the time, you mumbled to Cole that you were leaving; duty calls so to say.

You were a teacher at Lloyd's old school, though now it was solely for good. You had always wanted to be a teacher, so you could help others and see where their paths would go. It brought you no end of joy, and Kai did say you always liked a challenge. So when the opportunity arose for you to teach at this wayward boarding school you ate up the chance.

Leaving your small village, you couldn't wait to start the next chapter in your life. Your friends were very excited for you, though Nya and Cole seemed a little reluctant.

"What if something bad happens to you?"

"What if the school is still secretly evil?"

"How will we hang out all the time?"

"Who's going to make me cake?"

But it all ended up working out, you got a few days off every so often and would spend the majority of that time with the ninja. Today was your last day off after a three-day weekend. So, with your bags packed, you set off and found your way back to the boarding school in no time.

"Hey there, Miss (L/N)." Brad smiled, watering the flowers outside the main entrance. You thanked the taxi driver as you climbed out of the vehicle, pulling your bags with you, "Brad?" you questioned.

You looked around but saw no one else with him, "What are you doing out here? Why aren't you in class?"

"Oh, erm, well-" he stuttered out, you were now standing in front of him, teacher mode activated. You nodded your head to the entrance, "C'mon, let's get you back to class; we'll talk about this later." you followed on behind him, the large doors slamming shut behind you.

As you were walking, the wheels of your luggage click-clacking along the wooden floor, you noted the lack of students or even teachers in the hallways.

They're probably all in class, you thought.

You had followed Brad to his correct class, watching as he approached the door. But he turned to you before he went in, "Oh, Miss (L/N), I think Principle Noble wanted to see you." with that he walked into the room before you could question why.

You shook the strange thoughts from your head and approached Noble's office, no point in keeping the man waiting. Your skin broke out in goosebumps, even though this school taught good, you couldn't escape the villainous feeling that followed you down every hall. Approaching Nobel's office, you knocked lightly on the door, hearing a short "Come in!"

"Principle Nobel, you wanted to see me?" you said as you opened the door, only to find the office empty.

"Get her!" came a voice from behind, and then you slipped into a deep sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hehe, at least I'm getting better." Lloyd joked as he landed the ultra-dragon, the others slightly shaking as they jumped off the beast. Cole sighed, kissing the ground, "All the same, I'll take the reins going home. Just to be safe."

"Lloyd?" Brad called out, the same watering can in his hand like before. Lloyd shook his head in disbelief, "Uh, Brad?"

"You came!" Brad launched himself at Lloyd, capturing him in his arms, "So good to see you!" Lloyd struggled to get away from Brad's grip, scratching his head when he was finally free, "It is? Y-you put fire ants in my bed, remember?"

"Please forgive me, I wasn't myself and have learned the error of my ways." Brad begged, his attention soon turned to the others, "And you must be the ninja!"

"Uh, guys, meet Brad Tudabone." Lloyd introduced, Brad proceeded to shake everyone's hands, "Such a huge fan! Go good! Haha. Uh, please, will you follow me to see the Principal?"

Brad led everyone inside, the hallways still empty as were the classrooms, "Uh, shouldn't you all be in class?" Cole questioned. He would occasionally pop his head into a room to see if you were teaching, only to come up empty-handed.

"Actually, today is a new Darkley School tradition: Ninja Day. We stay out of sight to honour the way of the ninja for showing us the light." Brad smiled, continuing down a few more hallways.

Cole stood straighter, baring his chest out with his hands on his hips, "Huh, this is a good school. I'm impressed."

The group arrived at a door, a shadowy figure behind it. Brad rasped his knuckles along the wooden frame, "Principal Noble? Lloyd and the ninja are here for the ceremony."

"That, and the cake. By the way, do you what kind it is?" Cole butted in. Noble's voice echoed out of the room to the ninja it sounded fine, but something about it put Lloyd off, "I'll be with you in just a moment."

Brad excused himself, something about tending to his flowers. Jay looked around, uneasy, "Um, heh, has anyone seen a teacher yet?"

"Indeed, their absence is most strange," Zane added, but no problems came up in his systems. The office door slowly opened, Noble's voice continuing, "I'll see you now. Come in, come in."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This sucks," you huffed, feeling the harsh fibres of the rope rub roughly against your skin. A handful of students stood in front of you with guilty smiles, "Sorry, Miss (L/N). But this is all part of the plan to get revenge on the ninja!"

"Where are the other teachers? What have you done with them?" you question, glaring at one boy in particular. Gene stepped forward, separating himself from the crowd, "They're in the staff room, we brought you here because you're different."

"Different?"

Gene shook his head, walking around you as he monologued, "You not only know the ninja, but you're also quite close with them too. We've done our research and thanks to Ninjago Gossip, we know you and the Earth ninja are in a secret relationship!" he accused.

You jolted at the accusation, eyes wide and mouth agape, "W-what? T-that's not true." you rambled, "Me and Col-I mean the Earth ninja aren't in any kind of relationship, that's just a rumour." you continued. Gene continued though, "Whatever it is, he'll come to your rescue and then we can further my genius plan!" he cackled.

"What happened to being good, I thought you were enjoying the new classes?" you sighed out, wriggling against the ropes. Gene chuckled weakly, "We were never good, we only enjoy being pure evil!" The rest of the children laughed along, they soon left shortly after to, quote-on-quote, "Deal with the ninja."

At least you knew the ninja were here, and Cole would come looking for you. Yet knowing that the whole of Ninjago thought you and Cole were dating was something your brain couldn't wrap around. Sure, you went on that date after the serpentine hypnotised Jamanakai Village. And sure, you perhaps went on three more dates after that, but you were never official.

A few minutes had passed, you hated how actively your mind was thinking about Cole now. Luckily some commotion from outside broke you free of your thoughts, it sounded like something serious was happening. The sound suddenly stopped, you leant forward trying your best to understand the situation.

Just then the door burst open, smoke and dust clouded the room before a figure became visible. Dressed in all back, you'd recognise that gi from anywhere, "Cole!" you beamed. He looked at you with mischievous eyes, you couldn't see his full face but you could only assume there was a grin to match.

"You look good like this, makes me not want to untie you."

"W-what?" you gawked, unsure if you heard him correctly. He came to kneel in front of you, placing a delicate finger under your chin, "Maybe once this is over, we can go back to your place, huh?" he pulled his mask from his face; and what do you know? He was smirking.

You opened your mouth weakly, unable to say anything in response. Cole smirked, "What? Cat got your tongue?" He eventually unwrapped you, keeping you close in his arms, "C-cole, what's gotten into you?" you finally managed to say. Cole twirled you in his arms, pulling you back and forth in a swift dance, "Maybe the schools rubbing off on me."

"Maybe," you whispered, now extremely close to his face. You and Cole had yet to kiss, again, you'd only been on a few dates and the most it led to was falling asleep together on the couch in your apartment. Lost in your mind again, and partly Cole's eyes, the Earth ninja pushed his head forward and connected your lips together.

It felt...wrong. All this time you thought, you anticpated, that this moment would be magical and yet now you're here...it's not. There were no sparks of love, no tingly feelings in the pit of your stomach. Opening your eyes, you could feel rather than see Cole snickering above you. But now that you'd got a closer look at him, he looked different. He was a little paler than usual, his eyes not the same as before, it didn't feel like him or acted like him for that matter.

You pulled away, putting distance between you both, "What's wrong, babe?" he asked, taking steps closer to you.

"I-y-you're not Cole," you declared, albeit nervously. This fake, this imposter, this Bizzaro version of Cole laughed, "What do you mean?"

"You're not him," you swatted away his incoming hands, he paused, staring at you. Bizzaro Cole grinned, his shoulders relaxing, "You're right, I'm not Cole. I'm much better." with that, he picked you up with little effort and flung you over his shoulder. Bizzaro Cole walked out of the classroom with you rattling and banging against his back, though it had little effect.

"What is she doing here?" another version of Kai questioned, his voice dripped with anger. You could feel Bazzaro Cole shrug, "I wanted her. You found the other ninja yet?"

Just like clockwork, the actual ninja arrived through a hidden door, "Ah. Finally, a way out." Cole beamed. Kai looked towards the end of the corridor, seeing the Bizzaro ninja, "Guys, why are we staring at ourselves?"

Cole immediately saw you, hanging over his doppelganger's shoulders like a trophy, "(Y/N)?" he whispered out. Principle Nobel and the other teachers backed away, locking themselves back in the secret door, "Uh, this is kind of too weird for us. We're gonna stay in here."

"Ha, those who don't fight, teach." Jay joked, getting into a fighting stance like the others. Cole pointed an accusing finger at his evil self, "Drop the girl, uh, me!"

"I don't know, I quite like her. We had a good time, isn't that right, babe?" Cole nudged his shoulder jostling you in the process, you went to scream out but Bizzaro Jay had already covered your mouth with tape, bounding your hands together with some rope. The real Cole growled, pulling down his mask, how dare that guy touch you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The battle had been raging for a few minutes, Bizarro Cole had dumbed you to the side with a promise to return after beating the 'fake' ninja. You could see both Coles fighting each other, evenly balanced as all things should be. Though, compared to the others, their fight seemed personal.

"You're gonna regret messing with (Y/N), me!" the normal Cole shouted, throwing a punch and ultimately having it blocked. Bizzaro Cole laughed, leaning in closer when he kicked his leg out, "I don't think I will, besides, she seemed to like me more anyway."

"What're you saying?" Cole growled, using his anger in his punches. Bizzaro Cole swung his leg again, failing to land a hit, "I. Kissed. Her." he spoke with each swing. That's when Cole felt truly lit by rage, "YOU WHAT?" he bellowed out, going into a fury.

How dare this freak touch you, kiss you! That should be him, well, the good version of him, not the evil one; ugh, all this clone stuff was confusing.

"Ugh, we're so evenly balanced- oww -this fight could go on...forever." Jay sighed his movements much slower than before. Kai tumbled into a locker, blocking another punch, "We can't give up. Keep fighting!"

"NINJA, GO!" the battle cry of the ninja. The hallway was full of small ninjas, each coloured and dressed in fastly-made gis.

"Hey, it really is Ninja Day!" Cole mused, sliding away from his counterpart as the children dogpiled him. Kai watched with confusion until the lightbulb clicked, "Oh, I see what they're doing! They're trying to confuse them!"

"Yeah, but it's confusing me, too." Jay stumbled back, falling into the lockers. Zane pulled him up, helping to adjust Jay's mask, "Keep your focus." he then used spinjitzu to destroy his counterpart.

"It works just like Gene says. If you can land a punch, they'll be defeated!" Lloyd beamed, jumping in the air with a fist pump. Once Cole heard this, he wound up his fist and landed a harsh blow onto his counterpart. The children holding him down released him, and the Bizzaro version of Cole faded away.

"Aargh! Good riddance!" Cole dusted his hands, flicking his gaze to you, still bound and gagged by the lockers. He rushed over to you and, with delicate hands, pulled the tape away, wincing at the sound, "(Y/N)," he scanned over you.

"Cole, you saved me, again." you moaned towards the end, you didn't want to be known as the ninja's damsel in distress all the time. Cole helped untie you, pulling you up with a gentle hand, "Listen, I'm sorry about-"

"Don't." you cut him off, "It wasn't you, there's no need to apologise."

"But there is, I should've been there to help you. I knew you coming here was a bad idea." he frowned. You pulled him into a hug, "Don't say that, I mean, look at the students, they saved your butt back there."

"Hey, don't sound smug. I can always tie you back up again and leave you like that." you blushed at his comment, thinking back earlier to what the Bizzaro version of Cole had said. Cole seemed to pick up on this, tilting his head in confusion, "What? Was it something I said?"

"No," you laughed, shaking your head. You were still in Cole's arms, neither of you moving anytime soon. Cole lifted his arm to scratch the back of his neck before returning it around your waist, "So, listen (Y/N), about the whole kiss thing-"

"Kiss me," you once again interrupted. Cole blanked, now it was his turn to blush, "W-what?" he stuttered out. You stepped impossibly closer, if it were even possible, breath fanning over his face, "Kiss me, Brookstone."

"I-yes, mam." he hummed, leaning down and delicately slotting his lips against yours. You wasted no time in putting pressure into the kiss, feeling your palm raise to curl around his cheek while he smoothed his hands over your back.

This felt right, this felt like Cole, like your Cole.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, man. It's so great we have the tank back." Jay beamed, amazed by all the gadgets and the sophistication of the interface. Meanwhile, you and Cole were riding the ultra-dragon. Your arms were wrapped around his waist while your head leaned against his shoulder, Cole like usual was shoving food into his mouth, "You said it, mmm." he hummed.

"Can't wait to hear what Sensei says when he hears about this." Kai joked, recalling the day's events. The small monitor in front of Kai flashed on, Lord Garmadon's image appearing on screen, "So, it is true. You have destroyed my evil ninja."

"Keep it coming, Garmadon. Your attempts to stop us are only making us stronger." Kai huffed, puffing out his chest though no one could actually see it. Garmadon sighed, "But tomorrow is a new day, ninja. Mark my words, I will find new ways to finish you, once and for al-" the screen began to fade on and off.

"What? I can't hear you." Kai teased, but Zane seemed more concerned, "Nya will be displeased, she just repaired it and it appears it already has to go back to the shop."

"Nah, it's not broken." Lloyd smiled, seconds later the screen came back on with one of Lloyd's favourite games. The ninja looked at Lloyd with shock, "You did that? But it didn't blow up." Jay said amazed. Lloyd grabbed a controller, kicking his feet back, "Hey, you go to school, and sometimes you might pick up a thing or two."

You all broke out in laughter, what a bizarre day.

Hypno Sweethearts

A/N: Cole x FReader, based on the first episodes with a few little changes.

Ultimate masterlist. Cole masterlist.

_______________________________________________

The ninja had just "taken care of" Lloyd Garmadon, although not truly listening to their sensei's advice. The group had arrived back at the monastery rambling about some legend they had found, they were all squabbling back and forth.

"So then we all agree. The prophecy states that one of us will become the Green Ninja and the issue will not rest until it is decided." Jay stated, opening the huge wooden gates to their home.

"May I suggest a tournament? Last ninja standing is the best." Zane reasoned, but Kai was quick to butt in, "And will be declared the Green Ninja! I love it!" The others could only groan in response.

Nya had left the comfort of the indoors and stepped onto the cobbled ground of the training compound. She appeared to be talking to someone on the phone, laughing until completely swept off her feet by the equipment. She frowned while in the air, landing on her feet and saying she'd only be a minute to whoever was on the other end of the call.

And like lighting, she traversed the course, as if she was a ninja herself. She was getting pretty good at it too, becoming a lot faster than when the guys first started. Though all good things come to an end and she was once again thrown off the course and crumbled to the ground. Her phone bounced onto her head, a small "Ugh" leaving her lips as the device slid onto her lap.

"Hey, Nya. Closer to beating your brother's speed record?" Jay awkwardly laughed, cheeks going rosy. Nya rubbed her bruised head, sighing in defeat, "I'm getting there. Heard what happened in town, just a false alarm?" she asked. Nya picked her phone back up, seeing the call had, in fact, ended by an accidental miss-press, "Shoot." she huffed out under her breath.

"Yeah. Uh, but we're gonna need the space. Sorry, sis." Kai rubbed the back of his head, the less she knew about the green ninja prophecy the better. Cole moved to the supply closest, picking out some armour and throwing it at Jay, "Two matches. Then the winners of each face off for the title. Armours for our own protection. It's time to see what these babies can do."

"Hey, Nya, wanna stay and watch me mop the floor with them?" Kai smirked, cocky as always. Nya could only roll her eyes, he'll never change, "No, thanks. I think I'll just visit (Y/N) in Jamanakai Village. Knock yourselves out."

"Woah, woah, woah." Cole quickly ran to Nya before she could leave, his cheeks red "You're visiting (Y/N)?" Nya couldn't help the small chuckle that fell from her lips, "Yeah, want me to tell her about your schoolboy crush?" she teased.

Cole cringed, "I don't have a crush on her, it's just- we don't see her that often is all." he tried to lie, but it was never his strong suit. Nya nodded her head slowly, totally believing him...Not.

Ever since Nya had introduced her lifelong friend to the ninja, Cole was smitten. (Y/N) hadn't visited the monastery many times, but when the occasion arose and she was here, Cole was always at a loss for words. It was clear to everyone, even Wu, that the Earth ninja had a thing for the Jamanakai girl.

"Ju-Just tell her I- WE...tell her we said hi." Cole stumbled over his words, face dark with embarrassment. Nya held back her laughter but agreed to his terms, she really needed to get the pair together already and end this. With that being said, Nya left the boys to train while she took the daunting walk down to Jamanakai Village.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ah, isn't this nice? Everything is so peaceful and this tea tastes amazing, it's like if happiness was a drink." Nya moaned out, placing the teacup closer to her lips. You let out a gentle giggle, leaning further back in the cafe's chair, "The monastery hectic around this kinda time?" you mused.

Nya groaned, slipping the tea back onto its saucer, "You have no idea, the guys are fighting about this green ninja thing."

"Green ninja?" you questioned, sipping your own cup. Nya nodded, "It's one of Sensei Wu's prophecies that one of the ninjas will be all-powerful, or something like that."

"So they think it's one of them and are fighting to see who's the best?" you covered your mouth to hide the laugh. Nya almost broke too, shaking her head in disbelief, "Yep." Both girls busted out in laughter, having spent most of the afternoon teasing the other and gossiping.

"Thanks for the tour, by the way. I don't get to come here often and it was nice to see a friendly face too."

You blushed at her compliment, waving it off as though it was nothing "Please, after all the tours you've given me of the monastery, it was only fair. Besides, you need a local to show you all the good spots." you winked holding up your cup.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and screams from the village's centre interrupted any more conversations. Nya placed down her cup with a little more force than she intended to, "What now?" she huffed out.

Lloyd was strolling down the empty streets with a wheelbarrow of candy, "Take the candy! Take it all!" he all but laughed, cackling as his army of snakes plucked sweets from every child in town. You and Nya both ran for cover, she was dealing with the situation a lot better than you.

"Were those snakes?" you panicked, Nya nodded beside you "Hypnobrai to be precise."

"Oh, great." you hyperventilated, Nya peeked out from behind the alley you hid in, watching in awe as the villagers were hypnotised by Slithraa.

"This makes no sense, General. Raiding an entire town for sweets?" Skales rebutted, shaking his head. Slithraa growled, banging his staff against the ground, "You will do as I command because I hold the staff!"

"That guy looks like a barrel of fun," you mused, using comedy as a way to cope. Nya rubbed her chin in thought, "I thought the serpentine were enclosed underground, what are they doing here?"

"Er, Nya? Why don't you ask that guy?" you pointed to the snake over her shoulder, Nya was quick to jump out the way and shield her eyes. However, you weren't so lucky. Nya fled once she realised you were now under the Hypnobrai's command, but she couldn't shake the guilt she felt.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the Monastery, the ninja were finally practising with their weapons while Wu sat meditating. Visions of serpents and screaming awoke him as he rushed to the ninja.

"The Serpentine are back! Everyone in Jamanakai Village is in danger!" he startled the others, the ninja throwing their weapons into the air out of shock. Cole moved to his master first, patting him along the back as he tried to soothe him, "Calm down, Sensei. We were just there. It was some kid who says he-"

"The spirit smoke does not lie! An ancient evil has been released!" Wu continued to yell, urging the ninja to the gates. Kai shared a look with Jay and Cole, "Nya's there right now."

"Nya?" Jay mumbled, Cole's eyes widened, "And (Y/N) too, c'mon, let's get moving!" they rushed to their dragons, not wasting time and setting off to Jamankai Village.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm never coming down from this sugar ride! Woo-hoo!" Lloyd cheered, holding an abundance of candy in his arms. The hypnotised villagers stood behind him, mindless and unable to move without a command.

"Sorry to bust your buzz, little Garmadon." Cole mused, masked pulled over his face. The ninja line up in front of the little lord, weapons in a harsh grip, "But it's already past your bedtime." Jay smirked, the mask crinkling around his lips.

"Get them!" Lloyd yelled out, Slithraa shook his staff, commanding his army of snakes, "Seize them!"

"The Serpentine? They're real?" Kai backed away from the crowds, eyes wide and mouth agape; even if not visible. As more snakes fought the ninjas, the General sought to use the hypnotised town against them.

"It's not just them we have to worry about, the whole village has been hypnotised," Cole murmured, unsure if it was morally right to kick and punch hypnotised people. It's not like it was their fault to begin with. Jay didn't seem to quite think this through, already swinging his electric nunchucks in the air.

"No! Our weapons are too unstable, we can do more harm than good." Zane quickly put a stop to whatever issue Jay was sure to cause, he signalled for the others to put their weapons away too.

"I guess that leaves us with run!" Jay screamed out, taking lead and running to the nearest alley for cover. By coincidence, it just so happened to be the same alley Nya was hiding in. Jay ran into her on accident, but upon realising who it was, began to stutter and stumble over his words "Huh, N-Nya. Y-you're, um, okay."

"Barely. They've hypnotized everyone in town, including (Y/N)." she dipped her head, still feeling the twang of guilt in her heart.

"Mind control? How is this possible?" Jay questioned.

"When you hear them rattle their tails, don't look them in the eyes. That's how they get you." Nya rambled, recalling what she had witnessed happen to you and the other village folk. Jay paced back and forth, shaking his head and waving his arms as he panicked, "Well, what are we supposed to do? We can't use our weapons, and now we gotta fight with our eyes closed? Ha, perfect."

"The snake with the staff is the General. He's the one in charge. If we can get the staff from him, it holds the anti-venom. If we get that, we can save everyone." Nya continued. Cole had remained quiet throughout the whole spiel, his mind too focused on a certain mind-controlled girl. But Nya said there was an anti-venom, right? You would be fine, Cole just needed to get that venom and you'd be saved.

"Look, guys. Forget about the whole Green Ninja thing. Let's make Sensei proud. The four of us, we're a team." Kai's small speech brought Cole back into reality, he gripped his weapon a little tighter, "Now you're talking."

The guys started walking back into the action, but Jay stopped and turned to Nya with a weak smile, "Oh, and Nya? You can be our honorary member."

"Gee, thanks." she smiled, but sarcasm dripped through every word.

As the ninja fought, it became apparent they were deemed to win, but Lloyd had other ideas. He pointed over to your docile figure, you weren't fighting anyone, just stood to the side awaiting a command.

"That one over there, they're friends with the ninja! Make her fight them!"

"As you command," the General shook his staff and rattled his tail, sending you into battle; but first he had to find you an opponent. He scanned the fight, watching all the ninjas in action, "Eenie, meenie, miney, mo." he hummed, eyes stopping on the Earth ninja.

You launched at the Earth ninja, pushing him against a wall while distracted by another threat. He groaned, rubbing his head and getting up before he saw you, "Alright pal, you got a lucky hit, but I won't let it happen aga-" he stopped speaking.

There you were, panting slightly and eyes glowing red. Your fists were clenched together and your teeth were slightly bared, yet, Cole still thought you looked beautiful. He shook his head, this was no time to get lost in thought; he had to save you.

"(Y/N)? Oh boy, am I glad to see you. Don't worry we'll cure you soon." he tried to be civil, but that ended up with him being punched in the mouth. Cole stumbled back, "Okay, another lucky hit. But I let you have that one." he was getting revved up, but he still didn't want to hurt you.

You launched at him again, this time he was able to dodge the attack. You swung your arms frantically, tiring yourself out rather quickly. Cole kept dodging, afraid one punch would make you hate him forever; even if you did start the fight.

"C'mon, (Y/N), this isn't you! Snap out of it!" he yelled, ducking another punch. You continued to stalk him around the village, landing a punch every now and again. Enough was enough, especially when you grabbed a bike chain and swung it around, red eyes trained on him.

You threw the chain at Cole, it had wrapped around his hand and with a smirk, he taunted you "Sorry, sweetheart, but you've just messed up." He tugged the chain to him, pulling you along by force. Once you were trapped in his arms, he used his spinjitzu and wrapped your body in the chain.

You growled at him, shaking to move, "Sorry, (Y/N)." Cole bent down in front of you, pulling his mask up so you could see his face, "I promise I'll fix this, then just maybe...I'll ask you on that date." Cole pulled his mask back down and took off back into the fight, now more than ever, he was greatly determined to get that cure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"RETREAT!" Lloyd cried out, grabbing as much candy as he possibly could and making a mad dash for the exit, the Serpentine not too far behind him. Cole was able to stop Slithraa before he could get too far, kicking the staff from his grasp and glaring at the serpent "Go ahead, give me another reason."

Cole moved forward, grabbing the staff, but Skales tussled against him, making his eyes wide, "Look into my eyes, I control you." he hissed out. Cole's body began to wobble, his eyes going red as his vision began to spin, "You control..."

"Cole!" Nya cried out, kicking Skales in the head, breaking the control they once shared. Skales ran with the others, rubbing his head in the process. Nya pointed to the staff, "You have the anti-venom!"

Cole had to do a double-take before it clicked, "By golly, you're right."

"Quick, the fountain!" Nya shouted, cautious as the villagers started surrounding the group once more. (Y/N) had been set free by her fellow villagers and was looking for a round two against the black ninja.

Sadly, that wouldn't be happening anytime soon as Cole had already shoved the staff into the water fountain, the anti-venom spreading along all the small streams of Jamanakai Village. Before you knew it, your vision came back and your body began to sway. But before you could fall to the harsh, concrete stones somebody caught you.

Warmth invaded your senses, blinking your eyes open you vaguely saw a black mask. Cole held you as you came back to the real world, waiting for you to grow steady before allowing you to stand by yourself; though, he did keep an arm around you just in case.

"Cole?" you mumbled, rubbing your eyes. He nodded his head, pulling the mask off completely, "Yeah, it's me." he beamed. You didn't say anything for a second, just stood there thinking.

"(Y/-" Cole was once again cut off when your arms crushed him against you. Your body was so warm against his and all he could do was close his arms around you as you buried your face into his neck, "Thank you," you whispered.

When you pulled away, both of your faces were steaming red, "Are we interrupting anything?" Kai teased, you swear Kai and Nya were specifically put on this planet to tease the ever-living hell out of you and Cole.

"We're sorry, Sensei. If we dealt with Lloyd before he became a problem, none of this would've been necessary." Kai spoke, but you weren't paying attention, everyone's voices were drowning out. All you could focus on was Cole, mask-free and hair blowing in the gentle breeze. You continued to stare at the side of his face, enamoured by him.

"What? Something on my face?" he whispered to you, eyes still on the group. You squeaked, blushing now you had been caught. When you didn't speak, he cast a glance at you, seeing your cheeks coloured in a beautiful shade of pink. He smirked, growing cocky when he had no right to.

"C'mon, you've gotta tell me if there's something there. After all, I did save you from mind-control, I think it's only fair." he jibed. Your blush deepened, but all signs were pointing to your next actions, "Actually, you do have something on your face."

"Wha-really?" his bravado faded immediately, hands moving to clear his cheeks and that's when you chuckled. Leaning up, you planted a light, chaste kiss against his cheek. His entire skin lit up like a Christmas tree, "There, I think I got it." you mused, but your palms were incredibly sweaty.

"T-thanks," he stuttered out, you both turned back to face the group; who were all unaware of what had transpired, too busy with their conversation. Yet, you and Cole both smiled, oblivious that the other was grinning brightly.
