Cute Virginia & Jet Scenes
Chapter One:
Droplets Of Pain, Tears Of Sorrow
Another Heart Broken?
Virginia sighed as she relaxed herself on the sofa, it has just been a couple of days since they stayed at Humphrey's Peak, and she was still tired. They've been travelling non stop, she deserved this cup of coffee that she is about to receive. Gallows was too busy gazing outdrooling over each woman that happens to walk by that had a cute figure and a beautiful face..
Clive was out with his wife, Cathrine to spend some quality time together, so Virginia promised to look after his daughter, Kaitlyn, who was upstairs still fast a sleep, while the parents were away. Kaitlyn was cuddling her little teddy bear tightly last time she checked up on her, which made her smile,it reminded her of when she was young, about her age.
Jet on the other hand is just sitting on the chair across from her, he was just staring idly at a book that was in the bookshelves behind her, Virginia just took a glace at the book that Jet had his eyes on and then sighed as she looked back to him. Then a thought had occure to her.
I know…
She pushed herself off the couch, settling the coffee mug unto the table as she wondered over to the books, placing a bare skinned hand unto the book that Jet had his eyes on, Virginia removed it and looked at the title.
Broken Hearts, Torn Up Letters, By L.P
Virginia opened up a page at the front of the book as she looked at the first paragraph. The beginning seemed to start off with a beautiful, bright beginning, a young optimistic girl with a smile and who is occasionally a successful young lady. It made her smile, that's how all stories should start, well Virginia thinks so anyways…
Virginia walked back to the couch as she sat down, sitting on the comfortable fabric continuing to read it, Jet just narrowed his eyes at her as he made a little growl. She was so absorbed in to reading the book that she didn't notice him and forgot all about her plans.
"Awww How romantic" Virginia awed as her cheeks flared into an adorable pink colour. She just got to the part when the heroine of the story falls in love with a young man. It was so adorable. She would always remember when she was little when her mother read romantic stories to her, oh how Virginia missed her mother.
Jet rolled his eyes as he slapped a hand unto his head
"Egh, romanticist" Jet moaned as he made his purple eyes droop. He had no idea how mushy his leader can be all Jet can do was made a sigh as he stood up, he was pretty much pissed off at her now, he wonders why though?
"Shows how much you like romance novels" Virginia grinned as she continued to read.
"Their lame! Throw the thing away!" Jet demanded as he walked to the window, gazing at the scenery that was laid out before him, families walking by, youngsters having fun, kids, just being kids as they play around and cause mischief. Virginia smiled as she closed her eyes "No way, this book is getting very interesting!" chimed the young leader as she reopened them, her eyes getting more and more sparkely by the second. This just made Jet look at her with a sickened face, he truely hated romance novels some of them even leave a very bad taste in his mouth, none of them were interesting.
Jet only pays his attention to real life problems. Not fictional ones you can just find lying in a book, reality is already very painful enough for him to bare, thank you.
"Daddy!!!"
Virginia, Jet and Gallows jumped at the sudden scream that echoed all the way down to their ears, Virginia dropped her book in haste as she ran towards the room, it was Kaitlyn's voice, she knew it. Virginia made it up to the girl's room as she opened the doors, Jet just rushed after her, Airgent lamb drawn, just encase they were being attacked and there was going to be a hostage situation.
"Kaitlyn!!" yelled Virginia as she entered the room, seeing the young blond haired girl crying her eyes out as the tears smeared her face, dribbling down her rosie pink cheeks, tiny hands clutching the fur of her favourite big brown teddy bear tightly. For some reason, this just made Virginia remember a bad memory when she was very small, she was a bit like her when Virginia was her age, and in a ways this was similar to the incident all those years ago...
"Virginia!"
"What's wrong Kaitlyn, why are you crying?" asked Virginia gently as she walked over to Kaitlyn's bedside slowly settling herself down beside her, gentle smile laced in her lips as she looked at the young snipers daughter with her bright ocean blue eyes.
Kaitlyn sniffled as she tried to reply "I had a nightmare about Daddy…" Kaitlyn stuttered as she began to rub her eyes with her balled fists, she seemed very upset, Virginia thinks this might be a very scary nightmare to make the young girl cry tears over."And…sniff…I saw my Daddy…sob…disappear…and…that me and my mommy were never going to see him again…sniffle…leaving us all alone…" Kaitlyn cried as the tears drippled unto the smooth bed covers. Virginia's eyes went wide open, she made a sorrowful expression as she wrapped her arms around Kaitlyn, she remembered her mother and Aunt Use to do this when she was little to comfort her.
"There, there, it was only a nightmare, you're dad…will never leave you or you're mother…" stated Virginia lightly as she cuddled the young girl in her arms. Jet stood at the corner of the door, arms folded as he darted his purple eyes into the room, seeing the scene that was laid out in front of him.
"Really?" asked Kaitlyn as she looked at Virginia, now that Jet looks at his leader, she seemed to make a great mother figure. Watching the way Virginia handles Kaitlyn.
"Yes really, you want to know why?" Kaitlyn nodded, Virginia released the young blond haired girl from her hold as she replied, placing a hand unto her muscle as if to make herself look stronger and more reassuring, like a man flexing his muscles before he attempts to lift up weights.
"Because I'm going to make sure he comes home to you and you're mother!! Alright?" Virginia winked at Kaitlyn as she smiled cheerfully, filling the young girl and the room full of hope and faith, for some reason this made Jet smirk a little."Promise?" whispered Kaitlyn, Virginia stood up as she placed her hands unto her hips, a smirk placed unto her lips as she closed her blue eyes, the sun shining into the room as it highlighted her bright brown hair and the cotton like yellow dress that she was currently wrapped in, Cathrine said it was alright, the dress didn't fit her anyways.
"Yeah I promise, what kind of Drifter would I be if I didn't promise my favourite little girl in the whole world that I'd look after you're father huh?" Virginia made a giggle as she turned round raising her hand out to the little girl as she smiled cheerfully."Now, how about we go to the kitchen and sort out some breakfast kay?" this made Kaitlyn beam with joy as she ran up to the young drifter and gripped her hand, in a ways Virginia must've thought of Kaitlyn as a younger sister. Who wouldn't when there was a child this adorable?
Jet just kept standing there for a couple of more minutes, then silently crept away as he heard Virginia and Kaitlyn's footsteps shuffling his direction, he didn't want to be seen eavesdropping or receive another boring lecture from his strong willed leader about respecting others privacy.
Alas, although he was quick, he didn't move quickly enough.
"Jet, what were you doing there?" Jet turned back as he gave Virginia the old usual cold stare, he folded his arms as he leaned his back against the wall, he didn't notice Kaitlyn's innocent brown eyes looking at him with that small smile of innocence.
"What's it to you" Virginia frowned at him as he placed her free hand unto her hip as her brown hair flickered
"Well, I could swear that you were eavesdropping…" here it goes, the beginning of the argument that's surely to last for a long time. However this time, was going to last a little shorter than the usual ones they would normally have. "No I wasn't, since when has it been a crime to stand in a hallway?" Virginia thought for a moment, he did have a point, there wasn't really anything wrong with just minding their own business in a hallway, especially one like this, she'll trust him, for now…
"Good point…come on Kaitlyn, how about that breakfast?!" cheered Virginia as she and the young girl both walked past the lone wolf, but for some reason, he caught Kaitlyn's gaze as they disappeared down the stairs, what was wrong with her? Was she coming on to him? Nah, she's just a kid, what could she know?
But, still he could feel a type of sense that Kaitlyn knew, what it was, Jet didn't know…
Downstairs
"So Ginny, what happened up there, everything okay?" Virginia sighed as she replied; she was pretty much set a back after having a conversation with Jet, the lonely wolf that seems to give everyone the cold shoulder, she doesn't get his problem, the reason why Jet has to be so cold towards everyone, even her.
In a ways, it made Virginia worry about him too much…
"Yeah, it's just Kaitlyn had a little nightmare…" She explained to Gallows, the tribesman walked over to them as he lifted Kaitlyn up above his head, his long dark brown hair falling back unto his back as he made a huge gentle grin, his teeth sparkling from the little light that touched them.
"Awww did our little woman have a nightmare?" Kaitlyn nodded slowly, funny, Virginia made a little giggle as she smiled at the cute scene, and to Virginia this was classified as very cute and sweet, the way that Gallows was trying to cheer up Kaitlyn, the cute daughter of Clive Winslit "There, there, it's alright now, your dad wouldn't like it if he seen his special little girl hurt now would he?"
"That's right, now who wants some pancakes?" Kaitlyn and Gallows both looked at Virginia with their eyes wide and sparkly, it was really difficult to tell the difference of which ones the kid and which ones the adult. "I'll take that as a yes then…" at this moment, Jet just got back downstairs, the usual look printed on his face, Virginia looked at the lone wolf as he made his way down, watching his silver hair waving with each step he took and with every breath that he breathed in. Virginia watched him for a moment, her gaze following him as he dropped himself unto the couch.
"Hey Kaitlyn, would you like to play a game with Big Brother Jet while I go into the kitchen and make us those pancakes?"
"What?" Jet glared at Virginia in disbelief as his dark purples widened a tiny bit, but a little to let Virginia know that he wasn't expecting her to say that and just when he thinks he figured his leader out, new interesting details come to light. Kaitlyn nodded, filled with complete excitement as Gallows placed her on the ground, as the young excited girl grabbed Jet's hand, with a cheerful smile placed on her face; it was really adorable to anyone to make them go aww.
Virginia folded her arms as she beamed, it was about time for Jet to be sociable and spend some time with others, but there was more reason to this than meets the eye, now, Virginia can read her book in peace, she walked over to the table as she picked up the book and walked into the kitchen, ready to make those delicious pancakes.
"Hey wait a minute, Virginia!!" snapped Jet as he tried to fire another one of his famous glares, flinging it over to the door, to at least give in a very big protest to his leader's orders,however it was pretty much in vain, Virginia has proven that she was a lot quicker than he has originally anticipated.
A feeling of despair began to fill his gut, he was stuck and it means that he wasn't going to complain his way out of this one, this time. Gallows made a giant smirk at the punk as he made a chuckle. "Go on Jet, have fun with our little adorable Kaitlyn, you might actually learn something decent in you're dull shady personality which might make you more interesting than a toaster!!" a red vein appeared on Jet's head as he placed a hand deep in to his pocket, scrounging through the contents as he dragged a type of ball out of his pockets, a bouncy ball from further inspections, he would usually keep it to take out boredom if he ever needs it, but for the first time in over three years it was about to have a even more important purpose, which was…
Hitting Gallows with it…
He raised his arm slowly back with it, without Gallows looking and then, at the right moment, then…
PONG!!
"OW!! Why you little…" Jet raised a hand in front of the infuriated Baskar tribesman as a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
"Nuh uh uh! No violence in front of Kaitlyn, or our brave leader will have you're head!!" Silence filled the room, for once they both went into a silent agreement; they'd rather settle this little scuffle peacefully than leave it up to Virginia…
The Baskar Tribesman sighed as he turned towards the door and walked on out, "I need some air…" he stated clearly. Jet frowned at him, he knew this guy all too well, he didn't just need the air, he needed a woman!!
"Need some air or need a woman?"
"Get off my case punk!!"
Slam
"Hmph, Oaf" Jet muttered under his breath as his eyes narrowed, purple eyes directed towards the door. Well at least Jet can look at the bright side, at least he was able to get the last words, which he always does!! There was a little tug on his hand, he darted his cold purples down to see Kaitlyn, her little face with the adorable smile.
"Can we play snap, big brother Jet?!" his face turned a bit red, there was something about 'Big Brother Jet' that made him happy in a sense, which was suppose to be totally impossible!
"Um…s-sure"
In The Kitchen
"There, that should do it" Virginia had just finished putting the right temperature to make the pancakes, it was really simple, since she seen her aunt do it many times and she even did a couple herself, it's not so hard if you know all the tricks to it.
All you really have to do is to lay out the dough and flip them until their gold crisp.
(Youkai Of Heart's: Okay…so I'm not entirely good with recipes, but my grades in H.E. would agree with me if you ever saw it…at third year (In Northern Ireland that is) I'm pretty much a failure, okay that's not true, please forgive me for being out of accuracy)
Virginia continued to flip the pancake, as it flew in the air and gentle landed back unto the saucepan, while she was reading the book, she was already half way through the story, things were heating up, the heroine of the story just got herself into a vicious attack by the main hero's enemies.
It was very heart wrenching and depressing…
It seemed like the heroine was going to die, she didn't like that, Virginia didn't like that at all, it was really amazing how the writer in this story has captured her interests all by just flicking a page, Virginia has always loved books, especially books with a twist filled with romance in the air. She just could help but close her eyes and picture the scenes that she has read so far, her cheeks began to grow a bright pink again as Virginia giggled. It tickled all over her body as she twitched.
"So cute…"
In Living Room
"Snap!!" called out Kaitlyn as she placed both tiny hands unto the desk, unto the cutely printed cards of cute adorable creatures on the smooth woodened finished table. Jet frowned as another red vein appeared on his head, this was the sixteenth time the kid beat him. Jet wonders why he was even doing this anyways. He didn't have to play this game, but…
"Let's play again…" Kaitlyn cheered happily as she took all the cards into one hand and handed them to Jet, he was the only one who knew how to shuffle. Besides, Kaitlyn was so adorable when she asked for something, wait did he just think of Kaitlyn as adorable? For some reason that type of personality reminded him of…
"Yes!! I win again!!" laughed a cheery Virginia as she settled all her cards flat unto the table, the others looking at her hand and all the faces of her comrades went down in disgrace, yes it happened again, Virginia has won once again.
"Awww man Ginny, you must have the Guardian's on you're side or something?" Gallows moaned as he threw his cards down. Clive just tried to make a smile as he neatly folded his cards and settled them down unto the hard wooden table.
"This is the eighteenth time you've won; our leader sure has a lot of luck doesn't she?" Jet just gave out a tisk as he frowned at Virginia, seeing that happy smile and that cheery laugh was enough to piss him off.
"This is stupid; it's just a game…"
"Maybe a game, but a wins, a win, Jet" Virginia said as she looked at him with her bright blue ocean eyes.
"So, it's nothing like real combat…"
"Is that's why you look so bored, because we're not fighting any monsters or Janus?" Jet just closed his eyes as he tilted his head up towards the ceiling, scarf dangling off his neck as he chocked a typical reply.
"No, because we're not making any money out of it"
"Awww come on Jet, you can't say you're not enjoying the peace and quiet?" Jet just opened his left eye as he pointed it to the young drifter's direction, his wary wolf like eye seeing the angelic smile and fresh ocean blue eyes that Jet has seen everyday on the journey he's been on so far.
Virginia…
"Hey, Big brother Jet…" Jet snapped out of his thoughts as he looked seeing Kaitlyn's adorable, doll like face looking adoringly at him. Jet jumped, almost falling out of his seat, to realise that the cards were still in his hands; he started to half them and placed one of the halves over to Kaitlyn's side.
"Do you like Big Sis Virginia?" Jet's eyes went wide open as he slowly lifted his gaze over to the Sniper's young daughter.
"What?"
"Do you really, really like big sis Virginia?" yes that was the question, he couldn't help but cringe a bit. He closed his eyes as he made a tiny sigh, his cheeks flaring a big dark red colour, like a tomato.
"N-now why would you think that?" Kaitlyn placed her elbows on the little table as she leaned her chin unto it, like she was a little mini judge about to sentence his doom, he could even imagine the little hammer and robes with the cute little slam. "Because you're face is turning red!!" Kaitlyn giggled cheerfully as she raised a hand over to Jet and pulled his cheek, like a granny, well more like Virginia in a ways. Reason is because she'd always do that when he dozes off to sleep.
"So do you like Big sis?" Jet waited for a couple of minutes, to think up a reply…does he really like Virginia? Does he like her? He thought more and more about the subject for a couple of more minutes.
"Well…"
Crash! Fizzle!
"AAAAAGH!!" the scream made Jet jump as he shot right up to his feet that was Virginia's voice, no doubt about it. What's happening in there? Was she being attacked? Was it another move made by Janus? Jet got out his Airgent lamb turning his whole body to the direction of the kitchen as he ran.
"Kaitlyn stay here!!" Jet ordered as he rushed away as quickly as his feet could allow him.
"Virginia!!" he entered the room, pointing the gun, ready for battle, then his eyes widened in shock. Virginia was at a corner of the room, huddled up as she held her right arm tightly, he looked to the cooker to see that the Saucepan was completely swallowed in orange flames, the book scrambled unto the floor as the pages were laid out flatly, every page almost bent and a couple were sort of torn, some of them even had scorch marks.
He had to get those flames out and now before they spread and catch the entire house in its fiery claws. Jet rushed over as he went to the sink, pouring water into a bucket that he found out of his haste and poured it all over the saucepan, casting the amount of water unto the bickering flames.
Jet continued to do the process over and over again until the flames were finally estinguished, the smoke still surrounding the room. It was almost suffocating, if the flames had spread, Jet figures that the results would've been a whole lot more badly. He was just relieved that they were out of harms way, but more importantly…
He turned his gaze over to Virginia as he seen that she was still in her position, still huddled in the corner. Jet walked over to her as he kneeled down by her side, placing a hand unto her shoulder gently and smoothly as he touched her skin with his gloved hand. Virginia jumped by the touch, slowly lifting her head up to him, her blue eyes glittering with signs of relief.
"Oh…Jet…" she whispered slowly and gently, trying to regain some of her composure. Jet frowned as he placed his hand unto Virginia's right arm, slowly prying it away from her chest as he saw the burns inflicted unto it. His leader wasn't seriously burned, but still, if the flames caressed her arm any longer then it would've been a lot worse.
"It's alright, I'm fine, I'll just run it under some cold water and…" Jet was a head , way ahead of Virginia infact at this point, he reached over for the bucket that still had a little bit of cold water, he dragged a cloth out of the metal bucket as he wringed the water out of it, placing it lightly unto her arm as he rubbed it, a hiss escaped from her lips, she tried to keep it back, she really did try. Jet placed a hand into his pocket as he tugged out a bandage, he'd always keep one in his pockets just in case something bad would happen, but he never thought it could be Virginia.
She wasn't the medium of water; like Gallows so she couldn't heal herself, they didn't even have any heal berries either…they kind of used them all in their last battle with Janus and Asgard.
"You were reading that book while cooking weren't you?" Jet asked coldly, with the usual cold glare he gives. Virginia nodded slightly; he sighed as he made a growl, raising a hand and smacking her at the back of the head, even though Virginia was his leader, it doesn't mean that he was going to go easy on her.
"Well that was stupid, you shouldn't get yourself distracted while cooking, that's very dangerous!!" he snapped viciously, he doesn't understand why he was so angry with her…
"But it was a good book…" she muttered, Jet slowly stood up as he kept his dangerous glare upon her, then what he said was unexpected and uncalled for.
"That's no excuse!! I told you to put it back didn't I?! Didn't you're parents teach you how to cook or be careful?!" Virginia's eyes went wide open with shock; she tilted her head down casting dark shadows over her eyes. She slowly rose to her feet as Virginia stood in front of him, Jet looked back, glare still firm in place, until…
Slap!!
Jet's eyes were wide open, a red mark was imprinted on his cheek, it felt like it was on fire, burning even, he placed his left hand firmly on his cheek as he rubbed it, Jet slowly looked his eyes over to Virginia, about to yell at her once until... his eyes widdened to see the emotions printed on the young drifter's face. Guilt now beggining to dwell within him, he could see them, he could see the tears streaming down her face, streaming down those ocean blue eyes of her's. Virginia was really hurt by that comment and Jet knew he was such a cold Bastard for saying it...
Jet didn't know why he said that, he was pretty much shocked himself but he knew rightly what he said to Virginia was harsh and uncalled for…
"Virginia…"
But before he could say another word to her, Virginia just pushed him and ran off, running out through the door, past the living room, knocking over a couple of things in her rush and out of the house, leaving the door wide open for the cold air to invade the house. Jet tried to run after her, but then if he left, Kaitlyn would be all alone and he'd be in for it…
"Virginia!! Virginia Come back!!" Jet shouted after her, but when he caught up to the door, she was already out of plain sight, out of his sight.
Into the cold open wastelands beyond the walls of Humphrey's Peak as the big dark grey clouds begun to cover the sky in their blankets of despair…
To Be Continued
Youkai Of Hearts: (AKA: Sanzo's Guardian Angel) Hey hope you like the first chappie, sorry if it's a bit lame, I seem to be falling in my grammar a bit… I love Wild Arms 3n and the pairing of Virginia/Jet. Okay…I'm aware the title is kind of, off a song but, it's a great song and yes, the name of the book that Virginia was reading off it too, it was done by Lost Prophet's a very good song 3
Now be honest and tell me what you think, I thought I made this chapter a bit long, but the longer the chapter, the more the build up, I was worried in case I didn't get the character's personalities right, I loved the game, I still do but I love how the animations were done…
So Be honest and tell me, I'll take all you're opinions into consideration alright 3
And if you had read this chapter, I am very pleased that you have taken time to read this, I kind of have a block on Blood Stained Memories, so if you have any suggestions any whatsoever, then I'd be very happy if you could send it to me by personal messaging.
Thank you very much, see yeah later!!! XD
