You and Lloyd never got along. There was always a silent tension between the two of you, a feeling of strain in your relationship.

It didn’t help the proximity you two had to endure as Ninja. Training, Sparring, living in the same monastery, having to sit next to each other for breakfast.

All. While. Despising. Each other.

To honest, neither of you knew why you hated each other. Hell, Lloyd certainly didn’t. All he knew was this panic and sheer desperation whenever he was around you.

Panic, for him, was his heart racing, his palms becoming sweaty, Oni fangs aching to be let out, and a jumping adrenaline spike through his veins.

Master Wu had partnered you two together for a mission, sending you off to scout a nearby island.

As you traversed the forest landscape, Lloyd seemed to be getting more irritated and jumpy.

“Can you—Stop?! You’re breathing down my neck!” He snapped, turning around to you, who stood a good ten meters behind him.
