Chapter 2: Promises and internal issues.
Start
'Finally. If king Zenoheld didn't appear, I would have to kick his balls, again.' Jane left her tired body fall on the bed. Ghostfreak was quiet and is very unusual to him. He's always the bossy one.
'That smirk.' she recalled Spectra's smirk. 'He's planning something.' She started to curl a lock of her hair in her index finger, like Hydron does. "Urg. Look at me." she got up and went to the mirror. "I'm already like him!"
Sigh.
"Awww, I want adventure. Maybe that chicken is the answer."
"WHAT?"
'I knew he was going to start.'
Ghostfreak jumped from her shoulder and left his tattoo form and assumed his bakugan appearance. "You can't be serious, Jane."
"Ghostfreak."
"No Ghostfreak to you. You can't join him."
"Why? I will take extra careful."
"Jane *frustrated sigh* first he insulted you, second: he wants me and third he's planning something I sense it, not to say he's not a trustful person."
"Oh come on, Ghostfreak. First: he was testing us, second: I know he wants you and I can discover why and third: He's predictable and you always says that whenever I'm with a guy or not."
"Don't talk to me like that little girl." Ghostfreak started to get impatient.
"Gee, Ghost. You're worst than Hydron when he doesn't get what he wants."
"JANE, DON'T TURN YOU BACK TO ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU. JAANE." His brawler locked herself on the bathroom.
Outside she could hear his attempts to enter in there. He was small like the average bakugans but he could cause lots of noise. "Ghost."
"Jane, open this damn door, now."
"No."
"Jane."
"Tch. Fine." Jane opened the door and Ghostfreak jumped to her head and smack it. She felt just little bumps. "When I say to turn around and open the door is to do what I say." Tired her bakugan jumped to the sink and waited to her to lock the door.
"Now, take a bath. You have his perfume all over you."
Sniffing her clothes Jane looked to Ghostfreak and said "Yes, you're right." She started to undress. Ghostfreak saw her naked several times and she didn't mind.
"Turn the shower on." Her darkus bakugan waited for the tub being full of water while his dear brawler brushed her black hair.
Hydron
"What? You can't be serious father." Hydron glared at his father.
"No, I'm not Hydron. You two will get marry when you-!"
"Father, Jane will escape from me. And what will happen to her when she discovers the truth about her step-father?"
"She will not. The vexos will keep an eye on her." Zenoheld the king of vestals said to his arrogant son who refused to let his dear fiancée go.
"She's intelligent. And if she goes to Earth? She will not come back. I heard she has a cousin there." Hydron didn't want to let her go at full force. He's dependent on her.
She's his drug.
It's not his fault. She went to live with his family when she was young. Of course she's older than him, but her appearance doesn't seem to. Since the first time he saw her, he fell in love with her.
It's love at first sight... He didn't want another person who didn't have royal blood live in the castle, he didn't want a person whom the mother belongs to Earth and an unknown father. But it just happened.
"Please father. I promise I will behave. I will be like a true prince should be."
"No. You'll thank me one day."
"I will go with her."
"No."
"What? Why not, father?"
"Trust me, my son. You'll see." Zenoheld gazed the expression of his son, the heir of the throne the next king of Vestals.
But he's not ready, and not even Zenoheld is ready to leave his throne.
Spectra
Gazing the space with his mask on, Spectra recalled every single details of that brawling. It's normal for him to analyze the previous situation but isn't normal stay too long with the same thoughts.
"I think you have something for that girl, Spectra." His pyrus bakugan observed his brawler.
"Who knows? Maybe I have to dig in to find a solution to my plan."
Sigh.
This is what they have in common. But the difference is Spectra doesn't lose his patience but Jane does.
"I have to find a way to let Zenoheld approves her departure from the castle. With her under my eyes I'll have lots of opportunities to strike."
"Hydron is obsessed with her. He will surely put Mylene under orders. That woman is horrible; she'll ruin all our plans."
"Gus." Spectra said turning around. "He will stay with Jane when I'm going to distract Mylene."
"But you can't distract Mylene forever. She will start to suspicion."
"That's a good point, Helios but!" Evil smirk "It will be just for a while. It'll not take too long."
"If you say so. I hope you can get it. Jane will definitely look for."
The first best brawler and the best pyrus from Vestal planet made a perfect combination. "And when the perfect timing appear, it will be when we're going to strike." Spectra took off his mask allowing his reflection to be gazed.
"She will."
Hydron
'How dare my father require me such thing. Jane will completely turn into another person.' Hydron stopped his tracks. So far he was walking in circles glaring at the floor and wondering if his father lost his mind.
Looking up straight, Hydron's eyes fixed into Jane's room door. 'I will talk to her and convince her to not accept that insignificant propose.' Honestly Hydron was concern about the guys. He's afraid she will fall in love with one of them. He admires feminine beauty but he too can say the Vexos aren't ugly at all. Just the opposite actually, they're very popular between female sex.
'I will be careful.' The prince started to walk and stopped in front of her door. The two guards gazed the prince and looked at each other. "Let me in." he ordered. "I already clarified things with my father."
"Prince Hydron, we didn't receive any orders, from king Zenoheld." The right guard said, feeling the dark aura Hydron was exuding.
"Let me in, it's an order."
The thing he hated the most after Jane always telling him he's too young it's when someone disobeys a directed order.
"Let him in." Jane's muffled voice was heard behind the door. "But-!"
"Out of my way!" Hydron entered inside the room and watched Jane in a corner gazing the stars and planets, from her window. "You want to speak to me, Hydron?"
"My love." he started. "I want to apologize for what happen earlier."
"I accept your apologizes but you have to control yourself, Hydron. I don't like when you do those kind of things."
"Forgive me, love." he approached her and kissed her shoulder. "I promise I will wait." he brushes her hair from her neck and kisses her soft spot.
"You said you'll wait but I see it's totally a lie."
"I won't force myself into you. And not even on top of the clothes. I will ask you first and I will control myself." He breathed out as she closed her eyes.
Taking a hold on her shoulders Hydron turned her around so he could lock eyes with her beautiful blue ones. "You can't say you don't feel desire. You must feel something. No one is made of Iron, Jane."
"I didn't say the opposite, Hydron. It's just…you don't know when to stop."
"And that makes me doubt about this relationship." He asked while his eyes softened. "And if I behave?" he approached his face and rubbed the tip of his nose on her one. "Even you have needs."
"I know I have it, Hydron." She said closing her eyes as he kissed her cheek. "You lose control easily." Jane placed her hand on his face.
"I promise, my love."
"Don't let me believe in empty promises, Hydron."
"No, my love. I want this relationship to work, and I will do everything to make you feel comfortable." He encircled an arm around her waist. "I promise, I will control my instincts, you just have to say "Stop my dear future husband!" and I will stop."
"Don't push it, Hydron." Jane said feeling his lips on her skin.
Chuckle.
"OK then. I will stop when you want." Hydron pushed her gently to the bed. She left a soft sound come from her mouth when he crashed her.
"This feels so good." he whispered as her hands traveled from his shoulders to his back.
"Yes, it does." she whispered back. Hydron's hands went to her breast and he massaged it while he nibbled her earlobe. "H-Hydron."
"Do you want me to stop, love?" he asked watching her facial expression.
"No. I want to say something."
"Hum! What is it then?" he licked her lips and then her neck. "I'm going to join the Vexos." That was enough to stop Hydron.
"Jane." he said sitting up, turning his back to her. "I can't believe you want to join them." Jane seated and placed her hands on his shoulders.
"You were allowing me to touch you just to let you go?" He snatched her hands off him and faced the black haired-girl.
"Hydron, it's not that." she defended herself. She knows she's "independent" but she grew up with Hydron and the fact that she's engaged to him, is enough to her to give him some logical reason.
"Well kinda off." she scratched her arm looking at a plushy frog she won when she went to Earth.
"Tch. I knew this was too good to be truth." He cursed wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Hydron, I really like you but you have to let me be myself for a bit."
….
"You are my future husband but you're also my best friend." Jane smiled and hugged him, placing her hand on his head curling a lock of hair. "I'll keep in touch."
…
"I promise."
"Don't let me believe in empty promises, Jane." he said hugging her back.
"I'm not that kind of person." She assured him.
What would happen if someone sees the spoiled Vestal prince acting sweetly to a female when he's cold and arrogant?
Mylene
Mylene tried to talk with Hydron but her dear prince doesn't answer. "Where's that brat?" She was indeed in a bad mood.
"Owwww, Mylene is upset. Ahahahahahahah!"
"Can you stop with that annoying laugh, Shadow?" Mylene didn't spare a glance to her partner, who laughed even more loudly.
"If he hears you cursing him, you'll get into trouble, Mylene." He used his mocking tone when he pronounced her name.
"Didn't Spectra lapdog give you an order?"
"Bah. I already took care of that." he gazed his red and long fingernails.
"Did you?"
Crazy laugh.
"Naaaa. I asked Lync to do it."
"Hm. I should have guessed. You don't do anything right."
"No. True. I only have to give him something in treat." He watched her as she rolled a scroll with strange symbols.
"What are you giving to him?"
"A date with Jane."
Silence.
"WHAT? Are you crazy? She's like our princess and then Queen of our race. Have you lost your mind?" Mylene turned around facing the crazy Shadow Prove. "I-I can't believe you did such thing."
"Oh come on. No one will note it. Hydron will think Lync is going to keep an eye on her." He excused himself, not caring for what the blue haired-young woman said.
"That's Spectra who decide."
"Well, well, well. You mentioned Spectra's name without hatred. Hummm, looks like to me you have feelings for him."
"Shut up." She smacked his head. "I hate Spectra and Gus. I don't want to be in King Zenoheld and Hydron's bad side. Do you know how important she is!"
Smirk.
"*Sigh* forget it. When things get bad, don't come to me." Then Mylene left while Shadow went after her.
Planet Earth
In Runo's parents restaurant the bakugan battle brawlers were having a great time. Planning the next move to release New Vestroia from King Zenoheld.
"Can you believe that Mira girl?" Runo commented as Alice placed a trail of drinks and food on the table.
"What's wrong with Mira, Runo!" Marucho asked while drinking his coke.
"I don't like her attitude." Runo crossed her arms.
"You don't usually like anyone." Shun said with his eyes closed.
"Oh, Shun is that true you have a cousin in Vestal planet?" Julie said placing her arm around Dan's shoulder.
"Yeah, It's true." he said with his eyes still closed.
"What? You have a cousin in Vestal planet?"
Sigh "Yes I have, Dan." Shun opened his eyes gazing his friends.
"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?"
"Relax, Dan." Alice watched her friend's frustration.
"The last time I saw her it was when we were kids. Our mothers had a discussion and then they disappeared. I doubt she would be at our side, Dan. She was practically raised with them."
"Oh! Please Shun." Dan rolled his eyes.
"Dan, you and her were great friends." Shun said as everyone paid attention to them. "It was you who gave her first kiss."
"First kiss?" Runo said glaring at Dan.
"She's older than you, but she seems younger." Shun said.
"You remember many details, Shun." Marucho said.
"Of course I remember."
"Oh yeah, yeah! I remember now. It was because of that you kicked me and I bitted your arm. *laugh* I remember, I remember." Dan scratched the back of his head.
"And you're laughing?" Runo gripped her arms.
"Why are so upset, Runo?" Julie gazed. "You're not Dan's girlfriend, so stop being so protective."
"I'm not being protective." She glared.
"Whatever. So Dan how was the kiss?" Julie approached her face and looked at him seductively.
"Huhhh, it was okay, I guess."
"Huh. What I'm saying? It was great. Although we were young, the kiss was magical." He laughed.
"Shun." Marucho called, sitting beside Alice, assuring his safety from Runo.
"What is it, Marucho?"
"Why did your mother and aunt argued? Did that discussion made her departure to Vestal?" the encyclopedia boy rubbed his chin.
Looking at the side and ignoring the scrutinizing gazes his friends were giving him, Shun recalled the previous discussion years ago.
Flashback
Behind the door the little Shun peered through it, watching his mother and aunt discussing. "You can't be serious, Melinda. He will find you and Jane too."
"It's a risk I have to take it."
"But is dangerous, Melinda. Not only you are in danger but me and Shun too."
"If I leave her here, she'll be safe."
"You know how Shun is fond to her?"
"He'll take care of her as a sister." Melinda tried to convince her older sister, to leave Jane at her caries.
"Did you listen to my words? Shun likes her."
"It's just kids love. It will pass with the time. Besides they're too young to remember such thing."
"No it's not, Melinda. Shun is a complex boy not to mention he's kinky. He takes his relationships seriously. Even if he's young."
"So you'll not permit your niece, live here because you're afraid that they fell in love with each other? You'll turn your back to me and to Jane?" Melinda asked as her older sister turned around and released a frustrated sigh.
"For God's sake, sister, please. It's just kids. It will pass. They are cousins that will never happen!"
"I don't think so, Melinda."
"So you're concerned about incest. Is that it?" Melinda seated on the couch gazing her sister who still had her back facing the younger one. "How will you live knowing that one day me and Jane won't be here?"
"Melinda."
"No!" she got up and Shun hidden more. "I will take her to another place. Maybe that way your fear of incest will never happen." Melinda went to the door where Shun was watching everything and the black-haired kid went to his room where Jane was seated on the ground playing with his toys.
"Jane." Shun called.
"What?" she didn't looked at him, but when she felt his arms around her neck, she was surprised. "What's wrong, Shun? Did you saw the boogie man again?"
"Jane." Her mother opened the door. "I'm sorry Shun, we've to go. Come my dear, let's go! You're father will pick us at home." Melinda picked Jane and left the room after kissing Shun's head.
"Bye my little Shun." Then she left.
"No. wait aunt Melinda." he went after his cousin. But when he got at the door they were nowhere to be seen.
"Shun, come here son." His mother hurt voice called the little boy who held his tears.
'Jane.'
End of flashback
"Shun, Shun." Julie called at the same time as Dan.
"SHUN."
"What?"
"Where were you?" Alice asked as all the eyes were on him.
"Sorry is was thinking in Skyress."
Looking at his friend's eyes Marucho could say he was hiding something. "Shun."
"I don't know, Marucho. I was playing with Jane. I only heard them arguing but things weren't clear."
…
"Man, I miss Jane. I think she became into a fine girl."
"Stop being a perv, Dan."
"What? Huh, leave me alone, Runo." The arguing between his friends started to fade. Shun's thoughts was on the discussion who happen years ago with his aunt and mother. 'Does she remember me?'
Getting up, Shun said before leaving. "I'm going to investigate."
"Investigate what?"
…
"No, wait Shun. Shun. Aww what's wrong with him?"
"You're an idiot. That's the problem."
"Shut it, Runo. Nobody asked your opinion." Dan said as Julie nodded. Then they started to argue.
"I'm going with Shun." Marucho left. "No wait, Marucho. Help me." Alice pleaded trying to stop the loud arguing.
"Sorry, Alice. " He smiled.
"Maru-! Julie, Dan, Runo. Stop." Poor Alice.
xxxxXXXXxxxx
"Hey Shun, wait."
"What are you doing here, Marucho?" Shun asked looking at his friend.
"I want to say, it's okay to be in love with your cousin."
"No it's not. Go to Alice I bet she needs help."
"But Shun."
"Look Marucho it's okay. Mind in your own business." Then he disappeared like a ninja.
"But Shun!" Marucho was looking at the fluffy clouds, trying to find a way to convince Shun he wasn't alone.
