"I hope you get your answers (Y/N)." Dareth said going to order another plate of food.



(Y/N) let out another depressive sigh. "Me too." (Y/N) said looking out at the night sky.



There was a loud knock at the door at first (Y/N) thought that it might have been Dareth but she was wrong standing at the door was Chen and Clouse.



(Y/N) growled a little causing Clouse to turn pale. "I'm in no mood to deal with any idiocy." (Y/N) warned already feeling the growing headache.



"Ah yes," Clouse said clearing his throat. Master Chen, on the other hand, was positively beaming with excitement.



(Y/N) wasn't worried she could easily take the two if the need arose. But that didn't stop the impressive daunting glare in (Y/N)'s eyes from showing. "What do you two want ?" (Y/N) sharply asked.



Master Chen nudged Clouse to get him to spit it out. "For you to accompany Master Chen to dinner tonight." Clouse said almost choking on the words.



Clouse was unable to deny that it was almost worth saying those words just to see (Y/N)'s eyes comically bulge out in a mixture of confusion and disbelief.



"Why?" (Y/N) asked studying the pair. Master Chen was still giddy and Clouse rolled his eyes.



"An apology for the Kabuki that attacked you." Clouse said. It was very clear to (Y/N) that Clouse wished to be anywhere else right now.



(Y/N) eyes moved to Chen who still hadn't said anything but had this big cheesy smile on his face.



"Yeah, you're going to be down one Kabuki when I find her. There is no getting around that. No matter how much you try to suck up to me." (Y/N) told him bluntly and went to close the door.



"Wait!" Master Chen demanded stomping face in a childish rage. Clouse stopped the door for closing and (Y/N) arched an eyebrow. This was getting interesting.



"Clouse remove your foot before I break it." (Y/N) said in a deadpan voice adding more pressure to the door. "You'll do no such thing, Clouse." Master Chen warned glaring at Clouse.



Master Chen cleared his throat and began to speak. "This isn't a bribe. I'm just being a good host and apologising for the wrong my staff have committed."



(Y/N) didn't believe the man for one second and slowly increased the pressure on Clouse's foot with the door.



Clouse started to whimper from the pain of having his foot crushed.



Just then Dareth walked around the corner dragging a tray behind him with a sad look on his face. "Dareth what wrong?" (Y/N) Asked as Clouse managed to pull his foot free.



"They closed the dining hall and I'm still hungry. Why would they do that?" Dareth whined to (Y/N) as he shoved past Clouse who was rubbing his bruised and swollen foot.



"Ask their boss." (Y/N) said nodding towards Master Chen. Dareth looked to Master Chen who preemptively answered with. "I closed down the dining hall for private reservation."



"But I'm hungry." Dareth whined his stomach growled in agreement. (Y/N) let out a frustrated growl.



"Fine. If I go to dinner Dareth has to come to or he'll keep complaining." (Y/N) tells Master Chen who beams in delight. "Sure, he can play date with Clousy Clouse."



"But Master." Clouse whined not wanting to go.



"Shut it! Clouse!" Master Chen shouted at Clouse causing Clouse to wince slightly. "Yes, Master." Clouse sighed sadly.



Dareth's stomach once again let out a growl demanding food.



(Third Person P.O.V)



"No one leaves this room, until we figure out who's passing information to Chen." Lloyd decreed. All the remaining Elemental Masters had gathered in Kai's room.



Sensei Garmadon couldn't make it as Clouse had forced him to take his place at a private dinner that Clouse had offhandedly mentioned before Sensei Garamadon was headed to Kai's room for the secret meeting.



Lloyd had seen the panicked look on his face when Clouse whispered something to his father, and his father immediately left to put a stop to whatever it was. While Lloyd continued the hunt for the spy.




"The person we're looking for has a snake mark on their right arm." Kai announced confidently.



The elemental Masters lined up to roll up there right sleeve and show to everyone if they possessed the mark.



It was Skylor's turn, she smirked and showed off her right arm no mark. Skylor went to say something but was interrupted by Lloyd.



"Wait! Where'd Shade go?" Lloyd piped up.



"He disappeared through his own shadow!" Jay exclaimed. Griffin Turner had been sitting beside some kind of lava lamp decoration causing a Shadow appeared in the corner which Shade had used to escape.



All the Elemental Masters rushed out of Kai's room.



"There he is! Get him!" Turner Griffin informed the mob of Elemental Masters. "That staff will be mine!" Shade shouted in defiance at them.



Lloyd tried to hit Shade with his powers but unfortunately, Shade managed to get away through his shadow.



Most of the Elemental Master took off in search of Shade. "Well, we now know who our spy is." Kai said with confidence joining the angry mob.




____Timeskip____



Some Kabuki were playing a soft melody in the background. Candles were lit all around the room giving off a warm cozy glow in the room.



The table set with Serpentine styled ornaments, The drinks child and waiting to be opened.



The food was set (by one nervous waiter who wasted a plate of food by dropping it and was promptly "fired" by Chen) and ready for consuming.



Now all that was left was the guests of honour arrived.



(Y/N) and Dareth walked into the dining hall.



"(Y/N)." Master Chen said thrilled spreading his arms wide in greeting. "How wonderful of you to finally show up. The food was beginning to grow cold. I was thinking I was being stood up."



From the shadows, Master Chen could tell that despite (Y/N)'s otherwise stoic presence he could tell she was genuinely bemused. "How endearing." He giggled to himself.



"Can we eat now." Dareth whined at (Y/N). "Yes, Dareth." (Y/N) answered dryly. "You can eat now."



"Where's your little friend Clousy Clouse I thought he was going entertain Dareth?" (Y/N) said with a smirk she had been looking forward to Clouse being annoyed by Dareth all throughout dinner.



"Clousy Clouse, unfortunately, had some urgent business to handle with his beloved pets feeding but Clouse has arranged for another guest at tonight's dinner." Master Chen reassured them and nodded for two guards to pull out the chairs for them.



Chen, of course, sat in his throne which stood out rather awkwardly at the dining table.



The door exploded open as they all went to take their seats (Y/N) arched an eyebrow when she saw who it was.



Sensei Garmadon...



"Hi Garamdon, long time no see." Dareth said waving to the former dark lord. "Well, we now know who Clouse roped into this." (Y/N) said taking her seat.



___Timeskip___



Awkward that was the only word that could accurately describe the atmosphere that the four dinners were sitting in.



Though Dareth didn't seem to mind and was just happily scarfing down his meals as quickly as he could.



"Well, Dareth seems to enjoy the cooking." (Y/N) said taking a bite of hers once Dareth had finished most of his delicate meal.



Sensei Garmadon was just poking at his food quietly. "What's the matter? Disappointed with your meal?" Master Chen questioned pompously to Sensei Garmadon.



"It fine." Sensei Garmadon answered still just moving his food around the plate. "I only offer the best." Master Chen grinned as he turned his attention back to (Y/N).



(Y/N)'s outward appearance did not appear to change as he did so. But that smile made a chill go down her spine.



Chen had to admit that (Y/N) was captivating; she truly was. Never had a person invoked such emotion in him. (Y/N) was uniquely alluring in how powerful and vengeful she was.



How (Y/N)'s very presence struck fear and awe in those around her without even trying. How she broke bones and smashed teeth with power and precision. How she-



"CHEN!" Sensei Garmadon growled slapping Chen in the forehead with a spoon. "Ouch! What! Why did you do that!" Chen screamed at Garmadon.



"You've been staring at her for the last fifteen-minutes straight." Sensei Garmadon said dryly.



"It's creeping everyone out." Dareth pointed out. Master Chen broke into nervous laughter.



(Y/N) simply raised an eyebrow at Chen at his exceedingly bizarre behaviour. But otherwise said nothing.



"Once you've finished being creepy can we move onto dessert." Dareth demanded pointing to his empty plate.



(Y/N) gave Dareth a look questioning how he was not full yet having eaten three servings.



Master Chen cleared his throat and screamed for dessert to be brought to them.



A small group of Kabuki's delivered... Icecream and fortune cookies to each dinner.



After the four had finished the ice cream they cracked out their fortune cookies and read them out loud.



Sensei Garmadon's fortune cookie had read: "The principal part of love is forgiveness."



Dareth's read: "Some men dream of fortunes, others dream of cookies."



Master Chen pouted at his: "Help! I am being held prisoner in a fortune cookie factory."



(Y/N)'s had been slightly more disturbing... "Always sleep with one eye open. Your allies might just be your enemies."



Author notes:



1) Don't forget to voice who you think (Y/N) would be with and remember it doesn't have to be a ninja. ;)



2)  *Giggle* talk about some accurate fortune cookies.
