Enjoy!
==That night
Jake was patrolling the skies, making sure magical creatures were safe and that no Huntsclan idiots were around. He suddenly felt someone jump on him, and wrap their legs around his throat, not choking him, but certainly constricting.
"Ah! Get off me you idiot!" Jake yelped, as he tried to get more air to his lungs, while at the same time trying to get a good look at his assailant.
"Keep trying Dragon." A voice sneered. He suddenly felt himself start to fall, and noticed that whoever had attacked him, bound his wings together.
"You better know how to fly Huntspunk!" Jake growled.
"Why learn how to fly when I've got a dragon to cushion my fall." Jake's assailant snickered.
Jake then managed to get a look at his tormentor. While he didn't recognize the assailant's clothes, those blue eyes he could recognize anywhere gave it all away. They had haunted him sometimes, but he would love to get lost in them.
Then the earth rushed up to meet them, and Jake, being the chivalrous guy he is, made sure that Rose wouldn't get hurt. Luckily they landed in a batch of grass, so it cushioned his fall.
"Huntsgirl! What the hell!" Jake snarled as he tried to get up, but couldn't. Jake would try taking this step by step, not burst it all out like he did 5 years ago.
"Poor Dragon! Uncomfortable? Plus, it's not Huntsgirl anymore. I'm the Huntress. Learn it Dragon, and fear me!" She sneered.
"Going to kill me now?" Jake asked, wondering how he would get out of this.
"Nope, I'm just getting my new staff a test run. Like it dragon?" Huntress replied, shoving it under his throat, getting Jake to tense up, trying to avoid the blade.
"Love it." Jake grimaced.
"Very soon, your blood will be spilled using it." Huntress laughed evilly.
"Can't wait for that experience." Jake rolled his eyes.
"Till next time dragon!" Huntress said, as she left. But not before passing her hand on Jake's left ear, causing the dragon to shiver involuntarily.
== At the Huntsmansion
"Huntress, I was impressed with your actions tonight. As such, your bracelet will now be removed, considering you proved your worth today." Huntsmaster praised. "There was a spike of intense anger this afternoon, but nonetheless, great job."
"Thank you master. It was nothing, just an idiot." Huntress said, as she went down to the lab to get her bracelet off.
==The Next Day
"I'm telling you Jakey! That woman is bad news! You gonna get hurt real bad if this keeps up. Just fight her and destroy her! Stop being kind to her!" Trixie exclaimed, desperate to get through Jake's thick head that Rose was evil.
Just then Rose walked in. But she wasn't alone.
"Come on Rosealicious! Give the Bradster a chance! I'll make it worth your while!" Brad was pleading to Rose, but it was falling on deaf ears, because Rose neither looked at him, nor even acknowledged that he was there.
Rose reached her locker, and then got cornered by Brad. "Come on babe! Let's just get back together." Brad said, wiggling his eyebrows.
Rose was now pissed, and it could be seen even from where Jake stood. "Listen, Brad, let me make this crystal clear to you once and for all: I don't and have never liked you, I think you're a pompous jerk, as well as an asshole, and I am rejecting your offer of dating you. I would sooner date a pig than you. And as a notification, I was never dating you."
Everyone was just staring speechless. And there were a lot of people in that hallway. The guy that was nearest them just backed off, afraid for his well being.
Rose then, for good measure, slammed the locker door on Brad's hand, and promptly slapped him. She grabbed her books and then left, with everyone making way for the angry teen.
For the rest of the day, everyone was talking about the 'Cold Rose,' people wondered whether it was a stunt, or if the woman had gone insane. However, Brad wasn't taking his humiliation lightly, and was getting pretty pissed off.
==After school
Jake was walking to Gramp's shop, and took a shortcut through an alley, which avoided all the rush of NYC. He then heard some guys laughing and decided to go check it out.
He saw Brad and his goons ganging up on Rose. They weren't being so successful in keeping her cornered, she was ferociously resisting them, but they were made of steel, and Rose wasn't doing so great either. She had some cuts and scratches, but was still fighting.
Jake's protective instincts went into over-drive as he forgot everything evil about Rose, and muttered "Strength of the Dragon" and went over to where Brad was, drawing his hood up so that Brad and those idiots didn't make him pay later on for it.
"Hey." He said. When one of the idiots turned around, he punched them right on their cheek, doing some serious damage.
While Rose did the most damage to Brad's gang, Jake was a morale boost. They all left, holding some bloody part of their body.
Rose turned to Jake and asked. "To whom do I owe for helping me?" She was snickering, but curious nonetheless.
"I think you would have managed just fine without me." Jake chuckled.
"But still. Thanks." Rose blushed, as she went up to him, and kissed him, full on the mouth. "Jake." She smiled as they broke apart.
"Was it that obvious? Aww man!" Jake exclaimed.
"Nah, just now." Rose chuckled.
"Good, that means that Brad won't destroy me." Then Jake realized something. "So wait, you kissed me even though you knew it was me?"
Rose smiled. "Took you long enough."
"I thought you hated me!"
" I just said I hadn't wanted to date you yesterday."
"And today is okay because...?" Jake asked, sceptical.
"Because now I can. My uncle was being super annoying, but now I have free reign. Sorry for slapping you last night."
"It's alright. I'm just glad Brad didn't hurt you."
"I'm quite trained, don't worry. If push had come to shove, I would have attacked them. I just wanted to see if I could get out of this without putting them in the Emergency Ward."
"I have no doubt you would have." Jake grinned.
"Ha ha. Anyway, I should get back home, but I'm so sorry, and thanks for giving me another chance." Rose smiled, as she kissed him again.
"Want me to walk you?" Jake asked her playfully.
"Very funny. I think I'm good for it." Rose replied, sticking her tongue out.
==Gramps Shop
"Young Dragon, have you gone insane!" Lao Shi ranted, berating his grandson for what he had just done. "Have you not understood that the Huntress is out to kill you!"
"Chill G! It's just Rose!" Jake replied, putting his hands up.
"Just Rose? She's also the Huntress! She has spared you because of emotional reasons once, and the other to frighten you!" Lao Shi was losing his patience. Jake had always been hard-headed, but when it came to Rose, Jake would throw all his common sense out the window in favour of his crazy love.
"Yeah kid! The old man and I were doing some research and found out that the Huntsclan training center up north specializes in making their students completely heartless." Fu Dog added.
"Please Young One, don't keep denying yourself. The Rose you thought you were in love with is nothing but an unfeeling being, who is probably trying to get something out of it."
"Or she could really like me! Did you ever think of that possibility?" Jake exclaimed as he left.
Well, it seems Rose was either pretending for the sake of the bracelet, or she's planning something :/ What do you guys think?
Those of you that want a longer story, please review, if I don't get reviews, from my POV, it seems like you didn't like it!
