This story is a going to be about 3-4 couples within the Ninja Storm gang. So it would be about Dustin/Kelly, Blake/Tori, Hunter/Original Character, and maybe Shane/Original Character. But then again, I don't know if Shane would be a good boyfriend or not. Also if none of you like the idea of Shane having a little sister, then tough luck!

Chapter One: Heartbreaks

Dustin and Shane sat in the back room with Hunter and Blake just chit - chatting with each other about how mad Kelly had been earlier that day. Dustin and Shane's mind wandered back to it.

[ Flashback ]

Kelly had come into the store, looking like she was going to throw a royal temper- tantrum. Well at least, on one hand. On the other, she was ready to cry. Her boyfriend, Michael had hurt her again. He used her and betrayed her trust. That makes twice in a row with another women.
Dustin looked up from working on his race bike. He quickly walked around the counter to meet her.
�Are you okay, Kelly?� He had nervously asked her. That had done it. She snapped.
�Do I look okay to you Dustin? Because I'm not!� She then turned away and started walking towards the counter. She was so infuriated that she really couldn't see straight. At this time, Hunter and Blake had come in and saw her mood. The next thing she knew, she was stumbling over everything. Dustin had managed to catch her before she hit the ground.
�Kelly, are you sure you're alright?� Kelly didn't look up as she tried to backward wiggle out of Dustin's arms, only to come to realize that he had caught her from behind. So she ended up pressed against his chest.
�Let go of me, Dustin!� She yelled at her employee. Shane was in the backroom of the shop, and Hunter and Blake joined him as they watched the exchange. Kelly started struggling even harder.
�Kelly, I will not let you go, until you tell me what's wrong.� Dustin replied harshly. He turned her around and looked at her straight in the eyes, his eyes softened. He should have realized that it was her emotions that were making her this way.
�No, it's none of your business.� She had diverted her eyes so as not to fall into his and reveal the real problem. The only problem was that he had just turned her face back to him and was staring at her intent on getting to the core of the problem.
�Please Kelly, tell me what happened to get you so upset, that you can't see straight, literally.� Kelly tried to, but couldn't resist his dark mocha brown eyes that stared at her so kindly, gently begging her to tell him. Tears started to well up in her eyes as she whispered her problems name.
�Michael, he did it again.� She said loud enough for Shane to hear, knowing full well that Dustin and Shane would know what she meant. Just then, Tori walked through the door and Shane's cursing was heard with Hunter and Blake tried to calm him down. Next thing that was heard was a stifled sob from Kelly.
Shane stormed out and as he did so, said, �I'll take care of him, Dustin, you take care of her, that is if I have permission from a certain special employer red-head who deserves better than that jerk.�
�Go ahead Shane. I don't care now what you do to him.� Dustin yelled after him as he pulled Kelly into his arms as she cried.
�What was that about Dustin?� Hunter, Tori, and Blake asked all harmonized with one another.
�You know that man that Kelly walked out of the store with earlier?� At three nods he continued. �He was her boyfriend and she really cared for him and he�� He was cut off by Tori.
�Don't tell me he hurt her again!!! By the way, she's asleep.�
�Unfortunately, yes. Now if you guys don't mind, I am going to take Kelly back to our apartment. Cover the store till I get back?� Dustin asked as he picked Kelly's limp body up into his arms.
�Yeah, no worries.� Hunter spoke.
�Thanks dude.� With that he walked out the door.

[ End Flashback ]

That had been five hours ago. Dustin was now back at Storm Chargers with the others running the store for the day. He had dropped Kelly off at their apartment and then proceeded back to the shop. But before he left something had happened between him and Kelly, but right now he was focused on finishing his race bike's prep. Hunter, Blake, Tori, Cam (with sensei on his shoulder), came in first. Then Shane, who had a satisfied smirk on his face from beating up Kelly's now ex-boyfriend.
�What happened while you were at your apartment, because I suspect something happened between you and Kelly while you were there?� Hunter spoke with a teasing tone. Shane, Tori, Blake, Cam, and Sensei all became curious about the subject now that it was brought up courtesy of Hunter to the fore.
�Yeah, your lips are bruised.� Tori commented. Dustin groaned out loud. First, Hunter caught him off guard, now Tori saying his lips were bruised. What next?
�What's that on Dustin's neck?� Sensei the guinea pig asked. Blake pulled Dustin's collar down to reveal a fresh, clean bruise. Five audible gasps were heard. Dustin turned quite a lovely shade of scarlet.
�Is that what I think it is?� Shane asked.
�What do you think it is Shane?� Cam countered Shane's question with his own. There was sarcasm dripping in his voice.
�A hickey, duh!� Shane replied. Everybody's except Sensei, Dustin's, and Cam's eyes bulged out of their eye sockets.
�What happened Dustin? Were you attacked by someone?�
�Yeah, in a way.� Dustin trailed off uncertain.
�Dustin, what happened? Just tell us already!� Shane yelled at him.
Dustin looked at him and spoke calmly to everyone. �Nothing happened, except me getting the make out session of my life, courtesy of Kelly.� Dustin was nervous as to how'd they'd react.
