Yay, new fanfiction! And it's got all things supernatural in it!
Antonio: What the heck is that supposed to mean?
Sakura: I have a feeling we're about to find out.
Wilma: Wolf doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX. She only owns this idea for a story.
Nicholas: Enjoy and hopefully this won't come back to bite us on our collective behinds.
Chapter 1: A New Chapter
People in all corners of the globe believe in something. Every country and every person has something they believe in. From a religion to myths about monsters or demons. Some say that these things are true, others say they are simply myths and legends and that they have no place in reality. But there are those who know the truth about these myths and know that they and many things in the world of the supernatural are real, And they know just how dangerous the supernatural can be. These people are hunters.
In a cheap motel on the more rundown side of Domino City, one of those hunters was sleeping soundly in bed, but was soon awoken to something, or someone, shaking him awake.
"Oh Sleeping Beauty, your prince's here…" came a British voice from above the fifteen year old, with dual brown tresses and a dislike for mornings.
"Tell him to get back on his white horse and come back in an hour…" The brunette grumbled and snuggled deeper into the covers.
"It's already half past nine, Jaden," sighed the other male, who had slicked back black hair and fair skin. His name was Bastion Misawa. "Come on, we need to get ready for the entrance exams."
"I'll get up in a minute," Jaden murmured, blindly grabbing for the comforter and yanking it over his head.
However, Bastion was having none of that and Jaden scowled irritably when he felt hands grab the blanket and he clutched it harder while the British hunter tried to pull it away. "C'mon, five more minutes! Not everyone can survive on like three hours of sleep every night! I like sleep! I need sleep!"
The two boys were now fighting over the comforter and Bation was ending up sprawled on the bed, though he was able to make out a squirming body. Bastion smirked, remembering Jaden had gone to bed in only a pair of shorts since the AC as busted, so he jumped on him after getting the covers away from him and proceeded to tickle him mercilessly. Jaden squealed before laughing, trying to get one of his boyfriend's off of him.
They didn't hear the door creak open until they heard another voice say, "Hey, don't mind me, the tv's shot and I need to watch something over breakfast while I work on my deck." They both turned to see the third member of their party, Chazz Princeton, come into the room with some coffee and doughnuts.
Chazz had spiky black hair and gray eyes that were possibly darker than Bastion's. He was already dressed in his old prep school uniform since everyone at the exams had to wear their old school uniforms. Calm as Bastion and stubborn as Jaden could be, he was the element that stabilized their three-way relationship. All were just as good duelists as they were hunters.
It had happened as if it was meant to be, as cliched as it was. It had all begun years ago, when a five year-old Chazz witnessed his mother become possessed by a demon. The image of her once kind face twisting in a cruel sneer and her eyes turning completely black was something he'd never forget. Once the demon was done with her, it forcibly expelled itself from her body by a column of black smoke coming out of her mouth. His mother collapsed and the boy went and knelt by her side.
Five minutes. That's how long it took her to die. Her final act was pressing her crucifix into the palm of his hand, the same one he wore underneath his shirt. Then, she breathed her last breath.
Chazz hadn't moved from that spot, until the door was knocked down by a female hunter. Her name was Carol Ross. She had long messy brown hair and brown eyes. She wore an orange tank top, jeans shorts, and a bandanna around her head.
She felt responsible for him and took him in, since Chazz and his mother were estranged from his father and older brothers, teaching him to defend himself against the paranormal. She wasn't the most motherly woman in the world, but Chazz didn't mind her straightforward attitude.
A year passed and Chazz woke in the middle of the night to hear Carol rummaging around in the kitchen several hours before she was due to return home. Chazz grabbed the shotgun he kept under his bed and went to check it out. He came into the kitchen to find another boy around his age with a mop brown hair and brown eyes all bruised and scraped up sitting on the counter.
The first words out of both of their mouths were 'Who're you?', though on Chazz it came out demandingly, and with Jaden if came out more timidly. Yeah, their first meeting, they didn't like each other.
Chazz overheard Carol telling someone on the phone that the brunette and his family were attacked by a group of demons and he was the only survivor.
It had taken time for them to develop a bond of any kind. Being raised under Carol's teachings, it was kind of expected of them. Bonding over target practice, duel monsters, and their ability to see duel spirits, they formed a friendship and grew from two scared little kids into capable young men more trained than Special Forces.
Their first hunt on their own, in middle school, was when their relationship took on a new dynamic. Since they entered puberty, Chazz had been pretending not to notice how cute Jaden had become. It was driving him mad how close he was to the boy, and yet couldn't say anything. At the time, he was too focused on the werewolf they had been tracking to an old shack outside of town.
It was also the first time and only time Chazz had rushed into the hunt without waiting for a signal, he charged in with arrows flying. Imagine his horror when, since he hadn't taken the time to scout and access the situation, he realized there were two werewolves and he'd put a silver tipped arrow in the head of the first's girlfriend.
He was just as shocked when he was suddenly thrown back against the wall, smacking his head so hard he was stunned. In his stunned mind, he heard Jaden call his name as he entered the shack, not knowing what lay in wait. Though had hadn't fully recovered from the blow to the head, Chazz was able to watch in slow motion horror as the werewolf charged at the brunette, who had just enough time to raise his sword and slash at the beast, who didn't even slow down at the sight of the blade. The wolf leapt at Jaden and they fell to the floor in a snarling, struggling heap.
That day, Chazz learned what older hunters were talking about when they spoke of mental clarity in the heat of battle. He didn't think, he just acted. And the next thing he remembered was his boot colliding with the mutt's ugly head and then flicking a silver-coated dagger he had into said head, right between the eyes.
Neither boy understood what happened next. They just looked at each other, and then the next thing they knew, they were in each other's arms, sharing a kiss.
They traveled with Carol, hunting all over the world. It wasn't until their adventures in London that they met Bastion. Jaden and Chazz were assisting a group of veteran hunters with a nest of vampires that was growing rapidly. Their known hangout was a graveyard wharf on the more deserted side of town.
By rotten luck, the two boys had gotten themselves into the thick of things, taking huge groups of vampires out on the deck of one of the boats while rain poured from the skies. It felt like they just kept coming, and the young teens now had their backs against a wall facing down the nastier of the bloodsuckers.
Out of nowhere came the loud bang of a gun, and then three bodies dropping like flies onto the wooden deck.
"My apologies for intruding, but I was told there were some vampires roaming around and I thought you would like the extra help." Bastion had said, adjusting the tie on his school uniform with dozens of dead vampires behind him.
Needless to say, it had been love at first sight all around and they never had to say anything of the relationship's quick development. It was sweet, it was passionate, and it was about as close to being perfect as any relationship could get.
"Don't start being smug this early in the morning unless some of those doughnuts are for me." Jaden said, lighting up when Chazz held out the box.
He was across the room in a second, stuffing a chocolate one into his mouth. He hummed in delight, strolling over to a little kitchenette area where there were was a table, two chairs, and a microwave. He was moving over there because that was where he had left his deck the other night.
Bastion slid off the bed and made his way over to the spiky teen. "Did you bring anything for me, love?" He asked in a voice he knew Chazz liked.
"Only the best, babe." The shorter teen answered, holding out a styrofoam cup which Bastion eagerly took, taking a mouthful of the piping hot liquid. It was straight black coffee, just the way he liked it. He then promptly gave the spiky hair teen a peck on the lips.
"I'm gonna take a quick shower and then we need to get ready." Bastion said, turning and heading to a green duffle bag sitting by the dresser.
"Get ready?" Jaden repeated, confused, looking up from his cards. He couldn't remember if there was something they had to do that day. Then again, he was bad remembering these things.
"Why am I not surprised?" Chazz said, rolling his eyes and flopped down in the seat across from the clueless cutie. "You're oblivious to the real world when you've staring at your cards, a videogame, or a drawing. Today is the Duel Academy entrance exams."
"You better get ready too, Jaden, if we're all going to go together." Bastion informed the brunette, heading into the bathroom.
"I hope Duel Academy can give us some time off. It's been quiet since we killed that wendigo three days ago." Jaden hoped, gathering up his cards.
"That thing made me look like a princess." Commented a female voice.
Something that looked like a cross between a woman and a dragon appeared next to Jaden. She dual colored hair, white and purple, heterochromatic eyes, orange and green, and had a third eye on her forehead. Her name was Yubel. She's been with Jaden since he was a boy, and his been the role of guardian and big sister to the boys.
"Yeah, it was pretty ugly." Jaden laughed.
Chazz tsked at the display. Chazz had started seeing duel spirits around the time he met Jaden, as well as gained a duel spirit of his own in Light and Darkness Dragon. Bastion couldn't see spirits, but he had started to at least sense when they were there.
"Anyway, you kids better get ready quickly. If I recall correctly, the exams start at eleven." Yubel reminded them.
Jaden nodded and then proceeded to get dressed while Chazz started packing.
A short time later
The trio had ended up running part of the way to the Kaiba Dome after getting off at the closest train station, because they had left a little later than planned, but they would still get there in time for the exams.
"Pick up the pace, you two!" Jaden called over his shoulder to the boys a good few feet behind him.
"Okay, I get that he's faster than us because of his abilities, but why doesn't he ever run this fast when he's late for a class?" Bastion asked.
"He saves his energy for sprinting out of class." Chazz quipped.
What Bastion was talking about was that for some reason Jaden has these powers that he didn't find out about until around the same time he lost his parents. Yubel helps him learn to control, which is sometimes one of the reasons why he can barely get up in the morning. The other reasons being he's lazy or he had nightmares.
"Um, guys?" Jaden had stopped and was looking down an alley.
The other two boys stopped. Before either could say anything, Jaden pointed down the alley. They looked and saw a teen twitching strangely and had a demented smile on his face. Jaden and Chazz knew that look all too well. That's the look of someone who's possessed.
"This isn't a good sign." Chazz muttered.
"We'll make this a quick one." Bastion said, bluntly.
The other two nodded before springing into action. It took about five minutes to exorcise the demon, then they were out of the alley, Bastion making a quick call for an ambulance for the other teen.
"Okay, back on the road!" Jaden said, running ahead. "Come on, guys!"
He didn't notice someone in front of him until he ran into this person. The other guy managed to stay up, but Jaden fell on his back with his cards scattering on the ground.
"Jaden, you all right?" Bastion gasped, when he and Chazz caught up with him.
Chazz was about to saw something snide, until he saw who it was Jaden had run into. 'I don't believe it…'
"Yeah," Jaden nodded, gathering up his cards. "Sorry about that," He said to the guy behind him, before he got the same reaction as Chazz when he got a look at the second party. "Hey, you're…"
"Leave it to you to literally run into the King of Games!" Yubel snorted.
"You three are duelists, aren't you?" Yugi asked, Bastion now having the same surprised look as the others, and he didn't notice the glare Jaden gave his guardian spirit.
"Uh, yeah." Jaden replied.
"We were just on our way to the Kaiba Dome for the entrance exams to Duel Academy." Bastion added.
"You don't say." Yugi smiled before he held out a card toward Jaden. "Why don't you take this? Something just tells me that it belongs with you."
Jaden took the card; it was a Winged Kuriboh. He looked like the original Kuriboh, only with little white angel wings. A coo sounded and the little monster appeared, perching on Jaden's shoulder.
"Thank you." Jaden said.
"Looks like we have another spirit in the family." Yubel said.
The rumbling sound of Light and Darkness Dragon sounded in agreement.
"Good luck, all three of you." Yugi said as he started walking away.
"Thank you! We'll make you proud!" Jaden promised and bowed in respect.
"And sorry for running into you." Bastion added, he and Chazz following suit.
They then started on their way again, barely noticing the smile and thumbs up Yugi gave them.
Kaiba Dome
It took them about ten minutes to reach the Kaiba Dome, and they got there just as the exams started. Everyone was given a number and were told to wait for their names to be called. Chazz was one of the first to duel and Bastion and Jaden were going to go towards the end. About an hour or so later, Bastion was in the middle of his duel, and Chazz and Jaden were looking around.
Chazz had made his way to the other side of the arena and was leaning against a rail, watching the other duels. 'Looks like some decent competition.'
He looked to where Bastion was dueling, watching as his boyfriend was getting ready to make the final move. 'Go get 'em, babe.'
"Checking out the competition?" Chazz turned to see a blond girl wearing the Obelisk girl uniform standing beside him. Chazz just shrugged in response. "I'm Alexis Rhodes."
"Chazz Coleman." That was his mother's maiden name. He didn't want to use his father's last name out of fear that someone would put two and two together about who he was.
"Nice to meet you, Chazz," She said kindly, before looking back over at Bastion's duel. "Do you know that guy?"
"Yeah."
"You friends?"
"You could say that."
With Jaden, he had circled around to the other side of the arena and had come to a stop near a blue haired kid with glasses. He was also watching Bastion's duel. 'Look at him go.'
Bastion had 3200 life points and had Vorse Raider on the field along with a face down. The duel proctor had two monster in defense mode, Gear Golem the Moving Fortress (800/2200) and Big Shield Gardna (100/2600).
"All right, new guy," The duel proctor called. "Multiple choice; you have two monsters starring ya down, do you A: throw in the towel, B: beg for mercy, or C: run home to mama?"
"I'll go with D: none of the above!" Bastion announced, pressing a button on his duel disk to activate his face down.
"A trap?!" The proctor asked, surprised.
"Exactly. You see, with Ring of Destruction I can destroy any monster on the field that's in attack mode and then we both take damage equal to that monster's attack points." He stated with a smile, knowing he had won.
A ring of red bombs appeared around Vorse Raider's neck and exploded, dropping Bastion's life points down to 1300, while the proctor's dropped to zero.
"Clever move, applicant. Welcome to the academy." The proctor said as the holograms disappeared.
"Thank you, oh wise proctor." Bastion said dryly as he bowed.
Chazz and Jaden snickered at the hunter's tone.
"Wow, he really tore it!" Jaden commented.
The blue haired kid looked at him. "Yeah, Bastion Misawa; they say he got the highest score on the written exam out of all us applicants."
"Wow, I was told I got a passing grade, and that was mostly due to my brothers badgering me to study." Jaden said.
"I just barely passed, my name's Syrus by the way, nice to meet you," Syrus looked somewhat depressed. "I sorta have a thing where I get test anxiety. I don't know how I won my match."
"So, you're in!" Jaden smiled. "Congratulations."
The boy smiled a little. "Thanks."
That was when Bastion came back from his duel and sat in front of them. "Good duel, Bastion."
The black haired boy turned to one of his lovers with a smile. "Thank you." He said politely.
"From the looks of things, you just might be the second best duelist here." Jaden said.
Syrus was surprised, but Bastion just smirked. "Oh, really?"
Before he could say anything else, a voice came over the PA system. "Jaden Yuki, please report to exam field four."
"Finally, it's my turn. Wish me luck, guys." Jaden says as he got ready to go.
"Wait a minute," Bastion stopped him. "If I'm the second best, who's first?"
Jaden pointed to himself. "Yours truly," He said with a confident smile. "It's what I'm best at."
"What about Chazz?" Bastion asked.
"He's third." He then continued down the stairs, flashing a peace sign at his boyfriend over his shoulder.
'I don't know why, but I have the strangest feeling I'm gonna kick Jaden's butt later.' Chazz thought.
"He's so sure of himself, I wonder if he's really that good?" Syrus wondered.
"He is, though he's going to need to be," Bastion said, looking at the exam field in question. "Look who he's dueling."
Down on the field, Jaden rose up on a platform, looking around like an animal in a new place. He looked to his opponent. He could have been mistaken for a woman, but never tell him that. He wore a blue blazer with gold accents and pink ruffles. He had long blond hair in a ponytail and purple lipstick. This is Dr. Vellian Crowler, headmaster of the Obelisk blue boys dorm. Since Jaden was the last duel of the day, he decided to duel him himself.
'What is up with that outfit?' Jaden deadpanned in his head.
"All right, test time!" Crowler said, looking at Jaden with confidence. "So, son, your name?"
"Jaden Yuki." Jaden replied.
"Well, Jaden Yuki, I'm Doctor Vellian Crowler, Department Chair and Techniques professor here at Duel Academy." Crowler introduced himself with pride dripping from his voice.
Jaden raised an eyebrow, but wisely kept his mouth shut.
"Are you ready?" Crowler asked.
Jaden nodded, activating his duel disk. "Time to throw down!" he said.
"Duel!"
Crowler: 4000
Jaden: 4000
"If you don't mind, I'll let you take the first move." Jaden said calmly, surprising the audience.
Crowler was also surprised, but he didn't question it. "Very well," He grinned when he saw the cards in his hand. "First, I'll play two cards face down, and then I'll play the spell card Heavy Storm! This card destroys every other spell and trap card that's out on the field."
Jaden shielded himself as the wind picked up and both of Crowler's face downs were destroyed. "Now why would you do that?" he wondered aloud.
"You'll find out soon enough, young scholar." Crowler said with a smug grin. After that dark clouds began to form around his side of the field.
'What the-?' Jaden raised an eyebrow, as two gold dragon-worm-like creatures appeared on the professor's side of the field.
"Watch yourself, Jaden." Yubel cautioned, Jaden nodded.
The audience was amazed by the two creatures but Syrus was confused. "Could someone tell me what's going on?"
"Those two face downs that Dr. Crowler had out were called Statue of the Wicked," Bastion explained as he observed the duel. "It's a special trap that creates a vicious monster token when it's destroyed by a card effect. That's why he played Heavy Storm."
'There's no way that's a test deck!' Chazz glared at the sight. And he wasn't the only one to think so.
"What an elitist snob," Alexis said. "Bullying some amateur with his very best cards."
'She has no idea.' Chazz deadpanned.
All three of the boys had been in tournaments before, so they were by no means amateurs. Jaden just used an assumed name, since he was actually a pretty private person.
"You're too soft, Alexis," Said a voice from their right, causing both to turn to see an older student with blue hair standing there. His name was Zane Truesdale, third year Obelisk blue and top duelist in the school. "I just hope we get to see that legendary card Crowler has stashed away in that deck of his."
"Ready for your next lesson?" Crowler called to Jaden.
"Bring it on!" Jaden answered.
"Very well. Now I sacrifice my two Wicked Tokens to summon the Ancient Gear Golem!" In place of the tokens stood a giant robotic creature with the working gears seen clearly. Once against the audience was amazed at the sight of the monster, more so than it's stats (3000/3000).
"There it is! That's his legendary rare card!" Alexis gasped.
Even Zane's eyes widened a bit. "Now it looks like we're about to find out what makes it so legendary." He said.
'That thing could go head to head with Blue-Eyes White Dragon!' Chazz was surprised and he and Bastion were now worried for their lover.
"Now, now, I hope you're not too scared of my legendary Ancient Gear Golem." Crowler said sarcastically, ending his turn.
Jaden just smirked. "Quite the monster, too bad he won't be around for much longer."
This shocked many people, including Syrus. "Either Jaden's brave or he's nuts!"
'He's both.' Bastion quipped in his head.
"He's staring down that legendary rare monster like he doesn't have a care in the world," Zane said incredulously. "I guess the youth and inexperience have their benefits."
Chazz growled softly at the other guy's attitude. He would have snapped at Alexis not beaten him to the punch.
"Give it a rest, Zane," She said, getting tired of Zane's attitude. "At least the kid's showing some backbone."
"There won't be much left to show after this." Zane retorted.
"My turn!" Jaden said, drawing his sixth card before he looked over his hand. He smiled before glancing at Yubel. 'You thinking what I'm thinking?'
Yubel smiled. "Let's do it." she said.
"I'll start by playing Polymerization, fusing Elemental Heroes Avian and Burstinatrix to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" Jaden declared.
Two monsters, a green bird man and a gray skinned woman in a red bodysuit, appeared on the field before they fused together. They were replaced by a new monster with the same color scheme as Avian and Burstinatrix and had one of Avian's wings. The only things that were original to this monster was that it's right arm was shaped like a dragon's head and a dragon's tail (2100/1200).
"Then I'll activate this: The field spell Skyscraper!" Buildings you would find in big cities like New York literally started sprouting up on the field. In the middle of it, Crowler's Golem looked like a giant monster attacking the city. Jaden's Wingman was perched on the highest building's lightning rod with his arms crossed.
"Alright, Flame Wingman," Jaden called out. "Time to save the city!" He pointed at the ancient robot. "Attack that Ancient Gear Golem with Skydive Scorcher!"
"Right away, Jaden." Flame Wingman jumped from the building he was standing on and dove toward Crowler's monster, weaving in and out of building.
"Fine by me, bring him on!" Crowler said like he wasn't worried. "This silly little Skyscraper field spell hasn't lower my Golem's attack by one point!"
Flame Wingman then landed on the ground in front of the Ancient Gear Golem before leaping into the air again.
"That wasn't the plan. This is the hero's turf," Jaden revealed slyly. "What it's done is raise my hero's attack by a grand total of 1000 attack points!"
"Wait! Timeout!" Crowler cried, but it didn't stop Flame Wingman's attack as he launched himself at the Ancient Gear Golem, his body covered in flames (2100-3100/1200).
Crowler was freaking out as Jaden's monster slammed into his, making it burst to pieces.
Crowler: 3900
Jaden: 4000
"No, it can't be! He was my very best card!" Crowler cried before being hit in the head by a piece of debris.
"Oh, by the way, you should probably know about Wingman's special ability," Jaden said, his monster landing back in front of him. "When he destroys a monster in battle, the attack points of that monster get dealt straight to your life points."
"No way…" Crowler muttered. Just as he said that, the remaining shell of Ancient Gear Golem fell on top of Crowler, despite trying to get out of the way.
Jaden: 4000
Crowler: 900
"And I'm not done," Jaden said before holding up one more card. "Now I activate the spell De-Fusion to separate Flame Wingman back into Avian and Burstinatrix."
Flame Wingman vanished and in his place were the first two monsters he used (1000/1000) (1200/800).
Crowler's eyes widened as he got up. "No!" he cried.
Jaden smirked. "Now I've got two monsters that can attack directly. Guys, you know what to do." he said.
"As you command." Avian nodded.
"Let's end this!" Burstinatrix said.
They shot a combined attack of wind and fire at Crowler, and knocked him to the floor again.
Crowler: 0
Jaden: 4000
Jaden pointed his index and middle fingers at Crowler in kind of salute. "That's game!" He cheered. "So, I guess I pass the test."
As the holograms faded, a lot of people were stunned that Jaden had beaten a teacher, who was using his real deck, in a duel, and managed to pull off an FTK. Crowler was dumbfounded by the whole thing. He was beaten by an "amatuer".
"Impossible," Crowler seethed. "There's no that this delinquent could beat me!"
Alexis was smiling at Jaden's win. "That kid's got a future here."
Zane just huffed and walked away.
'Good work out there, Jaden.' Chazz smiled briefly, before slipping away from where he was.
Syrus was cheering for his new friend. "Yay! Way to play, Jay!"
'Well played, Jaden.' Bastion thought as he watched Jaden wave to the crowd.
Jaden waved a little more, before pulling out his new Winged Kuriboh card. "Sorry I didn't get to use you, Winged Kuriboh, but I'll use you soon," He said, smiling. "From here on out, you're part of the family."
Again, Winged Kuriboh appeared and gave Jaden a wink before going back into his card.
Later that evening
After the exams, the boys said goodbye to Syrus and left. They spent the rest of the day gathering supplies and getting ready for tomorrow, which was when they leave. They had just finished dinner and were on their way back to the motel.
"This is so awesome! We're going to living on an island for school!" Jaden said, totally hyped, even though he hated school.
"It would be nice if our dorms were right next to the beach." Bastion added.
"All you'd do is read." Chazz pointed out.
Jaden laughed, knowing Bastion read and studied just as much as he dueled.
"Very funny."
Chazz was going to say something else when he suddenly stopped. The other two noticed and stopped as well.
"What's up, Chazz?" Jaden asked.
Chazz closed his eyes and made a face like he was listening intently. His eyes then snapped open and he took off down the alley next to the them, Bastion and Chazz hot on his heels. Chazz has a sixth sense, developed with his exorcist training, so he can tell when something bad is going down.
They came to a stop in an adjoining alleyway and saw two large hellhounds closing in something. They couldn't see what it was but they could hear its cries. Those cries were all Jaden needed to hear to act.
"Leave him alone!" Jaden's hands glowed with his power and he ran at the beasts.
"Jaden!" Bastion called after him to stop him.
"Oh, boy!" Chazz rolled his eyes, and ran after him, brandishing an exorcism charm.
He said a quick chant and it lit on fire. He threw it at the closest hellhound, who then burst into flames and was killed with a loud howl.
The second beast turned to see the hunters. It growled and then lunged at Jaden. However, Jaden's form turned dark and then vanished into smoke, confusing the hellhound. Before it could search him out or turn back to its prey, it suddenly howled in pain and disintegrated. Bastion had pulled out some prayer beads and did a chant of his own.
All three boys have different fighting styles. Jaden uses a sword and his powers, Chazz uses a bow and arrows, talismans, and summoning two crow familiars that he met as a child, and Bastion uses guns and scriptures.
Jaden then reappeared out of a shadow in the alley and knelt down next to what it was the hellhounds were going for. It was a little nekomata. It kind of looked like Kirara from Inuyasha only black with dark gray markings. Jaden wasn't an expert, but for being attacked by hellhounds, this neko looked more sick than hurt. She looked lethargic and her breathing was shallow.
"Looks like it might be poisoned." Chazz said, coming up to look.
"Might have eaten something laced with antifreeze," Bastion added, disgusted. "The city's answer to the stray problem."
"Let's get back to the motel!" Jaden said, picking up the little cat demon in his arms. "I can possibly heal her with my powers!" Jaden was never one to leave in anyone in trouble and he wasn't going to start now.
Knowing they wouldn't win an argument with him, they all headed back to the motel, getting there faster when Jaden used his powers to make a portal.
When they got there, Jaden immediately went into the bathroom to grab some towels for the neko to sleep on. He came back with the cat demon wrapped like a baby and set her down on the table. He then pulled up a chair and then worked his magic, casting a veil of darkness over the cat demon.
To explain, Jaden's main power is darkness manipulation, and from that can come several different techniques. One is called darkness healing, being able to use the powers of darkness to heal a person. Jaden wasn't sure if it worked on poison, but he had to try something.
Jaden did what he could until the cat demon's breathing leveled out, and even after that he stayed by her side. The only time he got up was to shower and change into some pajamas.
"You coming to bed?" Bastion asked, giving him a couple blankets. Chazz had gone to bed about an hour before.
"Not yet." Jaden was tired, but he didn't want to fall asleep incase something happened.
"Don't push yourself." Bastion said, before giving him a goodnight kiss, before going to bed himself.
Jaden stayed awake for another hour before falling asleep in the chair he was in, eager and anxious for tomorrow.
I don't remember when I started working on this but I finally got the first chapter done. And for those who are never satisfied with what I write and keep wanting me to write fianceshipping, leave me alone since I've pretty much given up on trying to please you stubborn mules. Also, and sorry if offends people, but I'm one of those people who doesn't see the appeal to Jaden x Alexis. And before anyone calls me on my hypocrisy since a good majority of the fanfictions I favorited are fianceshipping, if the story interests me enough, I'm willing to ignore the fact. Now that that little shtick is over, read, review, and stay tuned.
(Prayers for the Orlando shooting victims and their families. Know that you're not alone, we all mourn with you. And know that even though we wish those who were killed were still here with us, I know they are safe from anymore earthly harm in the arms of God, and we will be with them again, someday. As for the man responsible, I believe he will face the highest of our earthly justice, and in the end he will have the ultimate judge to contend with.)
EDIT: I must apologize about the message above as it is not completely right. I shamefully admit that I'm one of the people who only read the story halfway. The man who caused this, in some ways, is a victim himself. He was torn between his sexuality, being a closeted gay, and his religion, Islam, which has less than positive views on homosexuality. This is a prime example of what self-loathing can do to a person. I want to make one thing clear, just because I'm Christian does not mean I'm a homophobe. I refuse to believe that some people are going to burn in Hell just because of their sexuality. I can't and I won't. And I can't believe that both our religions say to love our neighbors and yet we condemn those who are different. Just because they're in love with someone of the same gender doesn't make them any different from those who are straight. But one thing is for sure, I'm ready to forgive this man, because not only is our God a powerful and all seeing one, but also a compassionate and merciful one. God is calling us to forgive, are you ready to answer that call? And for those who feel the way this man did, know that you are not alone. God made you special, you are not a mistake, you are greatly and eternally loved.
