On with the story


Storyteller POV (3rd Person):

"So Judai how do you plan on healing your wound, do you want me to get you an ice pack?" Meroko asked.

"Nah, it's okay." Jaden replied softly.

"So what are you going to do?" Takuto asked befuddled.

"Sing." Jaden replied.

"You can SING?!" Meroko and Takato questioned.

"Why aren't you surprised Izumi?" Meroko and Takato questioned once again.

"Ju-di has an inestimable amount of talents so I wasn't surprised to hear that he could sing. However, Ju-di, how would singing be of any use to healing your wounds?" Izumi questioned the brunette politely.

"Well actually I can heal myself easily by doing you know what but I don't want to harm anyone unnecessarily so I'll just sing to heal myself within 2 hours and others instantly through physical contact instead." Jaden explained.

"What song are going to sing?" Takato asked.

"Eternal Snow it's a song my mom would sing to me to lull me to sleep before she and my father died."

"Both your parents died!" Meroko said flabbergasted.

"I'm so sorry." Izumi said sincerely.

"How'd they die?" Takuto questioned cautiously as he thought of his favorite black haired damsel Mitsuki.

"It's okay it was probably meant to be." Jaden stated with his head hung low and voice wavering. "I was only seven at the time when my parents died. We were driving one night and we drove past a homeless man begging for a ride so I asked my parents to pull over for him to be nice. We let him sit in the back with me and my dad asked him where he wanted us to drop him off at, but he just replied nowhere in particular. So obviously confused my dad pulled over the car and asked him to explain himself. However, he pulled out a knife and threatened to kill me unless both of my parents exited the car with their hands up. Both of my parents did as they were told, the man tossed me aside and I was petrified because I didn't know how exactly to use my powers since my dad was still teaching me. I could still hear what they were talking about though since I have extremely sensitive hearing. The man was trying to sexually abuse my mother otherwise, he'd make sure to kill me. My mom said that she'd do it just to protect me but my dad couldn't stand for it because he knew my mom would be scarred forever and couldn't stand to see her in pain."

"My dad went berserk and I'd never seen him get that angry or wild before with his powers. The guy got totally freaked out and when my dad was about to finish the job my mom started crying for him to stop so my dad turned around. But that was when I heard a loud BANG and I saw my dad falling down but I knew he wasn't dead until he shot him three more times and I noticed what the last three bullets he shot were made from. Then I knew I had lost my dad, my mother kissed him once more before he died then she used her powers to get to me in less than a blink of an eye. She hugged me, gave me a kiss on my forehead, and told me she loved me very much with rivers of tears in her eyes."

"My mother pulled out her phone to call the police, the man saw this and practically ripped open the car door, and pulled her out of the safety of the car he grabbed her cell phone and smashed it against the ground. My mom fought as hard as she could, which was very hard when she knew her time was almost up she told me to run away and never look back. I only did that because she told me if I loved her to do just that for before she was gone."

"I started running as far as my legs could take me until I heard another BANG, so I had to turn around, and I saw my mother die before me with a smile on her face she landed right next to my father who also had a smile on his face. I knew they had both died happily in love, but I couldn't help but think it was all my fault as I ran for my life. I always sing Eternal Snow to feel closer to my parents because before my mother died she told me to sing it when I feel lonely to bring us closer together."

I looked at all my friend's faces which all looked sorrowful. "I'm really sorry for dampening the mood guys." Jaden later said extremely quietly, which is quite unusual considering Jaden Yuki's outgoing personality.

"It's okay!" Meroko explained trying to desperately cheer Jaden up.

"Yeah it's not your fault Judai you couldn't do anything you were too young to stop the man." Takuto added.

"NO! It's not okay I just stood on the side lines and watched like a weak spineless coward…it was all my fault, if I can't even protect the ones I love what good am I?!" Jaden yelled with his head hung even lower as tears raced down his face.

"Ugh, Ju-di just shut up your way too soft and forgiving." Izumi stated dryly.

"What do you mean by that Izumi?" Jaden asked with irritation present in his voice.

"What I mean Ju-di is that Takuto punched you in the face and you didn't even get mad, you're parents died and yet you blame yourself entirely even though there was nothing you could do, and you seem to be angrier at yourself than at the man who killed your father and father. For God's sake, Ju-di you sound suicidal, sure your parents died but you just have to deal with it and try your hardest to live your life to the fullest. After all, time waits for no one." Izumi explained.

"You don't get it Izumi I saw both of my parents die in front of me with my own to eyes and couldn't do anything about it because I was too fragile and helpless! I had to live the rest of my life with my grandparents feeling as though I had killed my own parents I couldn't take it so one afternoon when I was eight after school I tried to kill myself by hanging myself on a homemade noose I made just because I was that depressed. I would've died if my grandparents hadn't stepped in and taken me away from my room. The only reason I'm still alive today was because my grandmother told me she'd sooner kill herself before letting me die by my own hands."

"And I couldn't handle another person dying because of me so I gained the strength I needed and was fueled by my grandparents love for me. But I vowed that if I ever saw that man again I'd kill him with my bare hands at a sickeningly sweet slow pace just to enjoy the sounds of his blood curdling screams while sucking him completely dry of life before I could ever truly be happy again. So please never criticize me for being too sweet or forgiving because if one things for sure I know how to hold a grudge." Jaden replied with a dark tone in his voice as he shot Izumi a glare as deadly as they come.

Izumi couldn't think of anything to say after so he did the only thing he could of…he flew over to Jaden and gave him a sincere hug.

"I'm sorry Judai I never knew that you had felt that bad but I want you to know that it's okay and that you've got me, Meroko, and Takuto by your side always and forever." Izumi said with a warm smile on his face a rarity in itself.

"Thanks." Jaden replied lifelessly, although on the inside he smiled and felt just a little lighter.

"It's okay, I understand how you feel." Izumi continued.

"How?" Jaden asked in disbelief.

"Because of the way that I died." Izumi replied.

"How'd you die Izumi?" Meroko questioned.

"Well… When I was a human, I was a boy named Lio Izumi. I wouldn't really call my life perfect since my mother was extremely abusive. Sometimes I'd have nightmares so I'd go into my mother's room and ask to sleep with her for a while and every time I did she'd punch me in the face or kick me in the gut and tell me to leave her the hell alone. And when I'd cry she'd wipe away my tears by scratching them away with her sharp long nails while smiling down at me. Sometimes the scratches were so deep they'd bleed so then it would sting my face every time a tear went down."

"Eventually, I figured out that I had looked so much like my deceased father that just looking at me would invoke my mother's rage for reasons unknown to me. In a desperate attempt to see my mother smile again, when I was six years old, I ran onto the train tracks because there were several times my mom would dare me too but I was always too scared. That day I overcame, my fear in desperation too see my mother's smile. I was so happy when I saw my mother smile a truly sincere smile again that I didn't notice the train behind me so when I turned around it was already too late and I was hit, when I woke up again I was a shinigami."

"The worst part was that even though I had become a shinigami I still retained all of my memories after death and always kept reliving that same haunting memory…to this day I don't know whether or not my mom saw the train coming but just didn't want to tell me or if she ever really loved me."

"Oh, I'm really sorry about that Izumi…" Jaden sorrowfully replied.

"No worries Ju-di, I just told you this so that you don't think poorly of yourself because of your parent's death." Izumi informed softly.

"I still have a question Judai." Meroko stated simply.

"What is it?" Jaden asked befuddled.

"Well…the only way to become a shinigami is by dying a somewhat dishonorable death by your own 'hands' so how is that when you died you turned into a shinigami instead of just plain dying?"

"Actually Meroko I'm not sure at all. The only thing I remember before my death was, asking an important question to an important person, a tall building, and seeing double of myself." Jaden quietly replied. "But I sure would love to find out."

"Well whatever the case may be Judai, we'll make sure to help you figure out your past." Izumi said facing Jaden with a determined look on his face.

"But isn't that against the rules." Jaden stuttered.

"Judai, have I taught you nothing, rules are like bones just meant for breaking." Takuto smugly stated.

"And look where that's gotten you Takuto you can't even come up with an original, inspiring, analogy that actually makes sense." Izumi smartly quipped.

"Ugh Izu—" Takato started.

"Don't even start that again Takuto!" Meroko said while shooting Takuto a death glare.

"My bad Meroko, take it easy." Takuto meekly responded.

"Anyway…Judai whatever the case may be just remember we've got your back and we'd travel to the ends of the Earth just to help you." Meroko informed honestly.

"Thanks guys." Jaden said truthfully. "But you know what'd make me feel better right now?"

"What?" The gang asked.

"A group hug!" Jaden exclaimed excitedly.

"Well you know I've got a quiche in the oven." Takuto lied terribly.

"In that case…it looks like something's come up for me too; I've got a quiche to make fun of." Izumi coolly replied.

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Jaden cooed with performing the ultimate puppy dog face.

"Oh no! Whatever you do don't look into the eyes!" Takuto informed in panic.

But it was too late because both Meroko (who didn't have a problem with a group hug to begin with) and Izumi (who was afraid of showing large amounts of mortal emotions within a twenty-four hour time frame) because they had both looked into those pools of pleading chocolate brown eyes. Takuto began to fly away until he looked to his left and right expecting to see Izumi and Meroko but instead he is greeted with nothingness at his left and right where Izumi and Meroko should've been. He decided to turn around and see what they were doing 'Oh great' Takato thought to himself because now all three of his best friends were shooting him pleading glances; with an exception of Izumi because his pleading glance looks more like a scowl in Takuto's direction. Takato decided to give into peer pressure and flew back to his friends.

"Ugh, I hate you guys…" Takato half-heartedly stated.

"We love you too Ta-kun!" Izumi, Meroko, and Jaden chirped, as they all hugged each other due to Jaden's whining and convincing pouting skills.

"Now let's go home, so you can make your quiche, Takato." Jaden happily stated knowing fully well it was one of Takuto's terrible lies.

"Um, well…I never actually planned to bake a quiche."

"So you lied to me Takato." Jaden innocently questioned with the happiness in his voice plummeting (purposefully to make Takuto feel guilty and bake a quiche since Jaden loved quiches).

"No, no Ta-kun's joking he'll bake you a quiche." Izumi smirked fully aware that Takuto couldn't bake to save his life and has never even eaten a quiche before. Izumi only smiled as Takuto gave him an angry glare.

"Hoooray!" Jaden shouted giddily as he lazily turned around to fly on his back.

"Which house are we going to?" Meroko pondered aloud.

"The one in Reclia City." Takuto suggested.

"No we've been in that one for a while now." Jaden stated.

"Yeah, I agree with Ju-di." Izumi replied

"How about the one in Autumn Moon Village?" Meroko offered.

"Yeah, that's a great idea Meroko it's close to here and it's about ten months since we've lived there last." Jaden said while smiling at Meroko sincerely.

"Is everybody okay with that?" Jaden asked.

"Yeah." Izumi replied.

"Sure why not." Takuto replied.

It was starting to get rather late so they decided to fly a little quicker than usual since they were all pretty exhausted and ready to go to sleep. As they were flying through the island, Jaden couldn't help but feel that this place was extremely familiar. While they flew past small motel looking dormitories with red roof tops and a nice view of the ocean Jaden saw a short young looking seventeen year old with light blue hair circular glasses and a blue blazer.

"Wait a second…guys I think I know that kid." Jaden exclaimed.
