The training was brutal. The sparring only lasted 5 minutes when all of the boys were down. She made them do excersises and then individual sparring. She said that they would do more if they can't take her down.

Now, they were all sitting in the dining room. Bella was sitting on the right of Vlad while Danny was sitting on the left of him. Jake was sitting beside Danny and Randy was sitting beside Jake. They would think that they would die if they sat beside the woman. The three of their tiny puny bodies were aching. Like they slept in a bed made of hard rock. But for Danny, it all seems normal.

"How was training?" Vlad asked as they were served dinner. Randy and Jake were confusing on which spoon or fork to use. "Danny is quite agile and fast," Bella said as she took a bite, "you have trained him well, Vlad."

Vlad smiled proudly. He looked at Danny and smiled. Danny smiled back. And the two extra boys just ate and watch. They looked like they were invading personal family time.

After dinner, Danny excused himself and his friends. "Okay," Jake said as they entered the main room, "now can we have that tour?" Danny sighed and replied, "fine. But 15 seconds for each room."

While the three were touring around the mansion, Bella and Vlad were sitting in his study, Bella sipping Jasmine Tea. "How's the search?" she asked. Vlad sighed and shook his head. "I have no idea where that sapphire is! How about you?" he asked. Bella sighed and shook her head, "I've searched the old battle grounds of the ancient wars and seem to dig the graves of the old soldiers, but none has the honest heart of peace."

Vlad sighed and went back to his computer, searching for any types of rare sapphires and other blue gems. Bella raised a brow and asked, "you think a rare gem can be looked on the internet?"

Vlad frowned for a moment and then smiled. He smirked at her like he won the lottery. He showed her the picture. His smile widened as her eyes as well. She slumped on her chair and said, "humans are idiots."

While Vlad and Bella are discussing, Randy and Jake were touring. And they officially stopped at the instrument room. It was like their school's music room, but bigger. Waaaaay bigger. It had all kinds of instruments, from 1950-2020.

"Dudes! We can practice here!" Jake exclaimed as he looked at the band instruments. There was one clear section where they can perform and practice. "You're totally right!" Randy said as he got his hands on a keytar. "Be careful with that!" Danny said as he took the keytar from Randy. "Dude, chill," Jake said as he grabbed an electric guitar and plugged it in the socket. He was about to strum when Danny took the plug out, "we have serious no permission to play these."

"But isn't Vlad your dad?" Randy asked as he leaned on a wall. Danny rubbed his neck and replied, "adopted dad. I don't want to talk about my biological one."

Randy and Jake looked at each other, than at Danny. Jake walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "that's okay bro." "Yeah," Randy said as he put another hand on Danny's shoulder, "you can tell us anything, or nothing at all."

Danny smiled at his friends, "thanks guys. Now, it's a bit late. Are you guys gonna go home?"

"Oh, cheese! My parents! And Nomicon!" Randy exclaimed as he ran down the halls. But then remembered he doesn't know where the heck is the exit.

Randy closed his last book for the day. He then jumped on his bed and was about to tuck himself in and turn off the lights, when he saw Nomicon out of his book. "Something wrong Nom?" Randy asked as he looked at the ninja.

Nomicon looked at Randy and sighed, "nothing Randy. You can go to sleep."

Randy looked at him and know that something is wrong. He threw the blanket off him and crawled across his bed. He tapped his shoulder and asked, "what's wrong?"

Nomicon just starred at him blankly. Randy made a cute little tilt on his head. Randy could faintly see him blush. Nomicon turned away again and replied, "nothing."

Randy was getting annoyed. Nomicon is his book friend and he won't let something go unnoticed. He got up from his bed and stood in front of Nomicon. "What's wrong, Nomicon?" Randy asked again, more demanding. And Nomicon can't help but think that it was cute.

Nomicon once again, turned his head and replied, "nothing is wrong, Randy. You have school tomorrow."

Randy sighed and said, "I don't want to use this, but..." Randy pounced on Nomicon and pinned him on his bed. "Ninja! This is very inappropriate!" Nomicon said as he tried to push Randy off, while his face was flushing. His body and heart is telling him to let Randy stay, while his mind being the logical one was saying to get Randy off. 2 out of 3 wins :).

Randy sighed and let Randy lay on top of him, but he isn't going isn't going to say anything. Randy, knowing Nomicon isn't going to speak, sighed and got off of him. Randy sat beside Nomicon as he sat up. Nomicon looked at Randy as he saw him shift his position with his head being buried in between his knees and his arms hugging his knees.

Nomicon sighed and said, "why is anything I say non-training related important to you?"

Randy looked at Nomicon and replied, "because you're important to me," with the saddest puppy eyes he could do. Nomicon's face was as red as his hair. Nomicon sighed and said, "after this, you'll go to sleep. You still have school tomorrow."

Randy nodded and scooted closer to Nomicon. He sighed and then began.

"Every four years, I have to give away the task of being the Ninja of Norrisville High to a new student. And this might be our last year together. I know I'm supposed to be used to this right now, but you..."

Nomicon looked at Randy. Randy's face is just screaming "please continue." He sighed. "I think you're special. You remind me of a certain person..." he ended. Even though he wants to tell more. Randy looked at him and smiled sadly, "since this might be our last year together... Wanna sleep with me?"

Nomicon's face was as red as a tomato! "Ninja! That was very ina-"

"No! I didn't mean that! I was referring to like, how other boys do in a slumber party," Randy said, innocently. If he weren't so cute, Nomicon would've said no.

Nomicon sighed and stood up, and went under the covers of Randy. Randy smiled, seeing he accepted it. Randy followed and tucked himself near Nomicon. "Goodnight, Nomicon!" he said as he switched off the lights.
