Chapter 9
Kaiba Mansion
The first thing I noticed as my eyes opened was that I was conciderably warmer. Another was that I was snuggling into something.
I look up and came face to face with a sleeping Valon.
He was laying down on the bed and under the covers on his side, an arm was pillowing his head and my head was laying on his elbow and his other arm is wrapped around my waist, pulling my body flushed against his. Why is he in the bed with me? Why is he SHIRTLESS?! My face started to flush. My heart was pounding in my chest. I buried my face into his chest, trying to get rid of the thoughts that were going around in my head. I sighed and pulled my head away from his chest so I could watch him sleep. Why do I have a sudden urge to kiss him? I shook my head, decided to not kiss him and instead, wake him up.
I poked him. He shifted but didn't wake up so I poked him harder. I kept poking him until he let out a groan.
He opened his crystal blue eyes and yawned. He looked down at me and gave me a lop-sided smile. "Morning mate."Doesn't he notice that he was basically holding me like a...lover...would...could he...nah.
He let me go and stood up from the bed, stretching Oh crap, I was DROOLING of the site of his abs...and well formed chest. DAMN IT! BAD JOEY! He put on his shirt and looked at me and gave me a teasing grin. "Like what you see mate?" My face imidiently went a cherry red and Valon chuckled. "Come on, its time that I explain some things." He walked out of the room with me following.
When we got in the kitchen, everyone was there. "Well, it's time to show you what you want." He shut his eyes and when he opened them, there was a blinding flash of light.
Atlantis, thousands of years ago
A eight year old Joni was following a fourteen year old Hermos up to the castle. He held onto the older boy as they passed some guards. Once they were in the throne room, The King addressed them.
"So your young Hermos?" The King questioned. Hermos gave a small bow. "Yes your majesty. I wish to become a knight to serve my people and my king." The King gave a thoughtful 'hm'. He turned his attention towards Joni.
"And this lad?"
"My little brother, Joni my king."
Joni was basically hugging his older brother's leg. "I wish that my little brother stay in a company of a guard or a guard in training your majesty." "Very well Hermos. First, I will let you meet your new comrades." He waved is hand once and four kids walked out. The first two were a sixteen year old Critias and a seventeen year old Temaues. Behind them were their little brothers. A nine year old Taichi who was the little brother of Critias looked almost alike. Same with a seven year old Hebu.
"Critias, Temaues, this will be your new Comrade that shall be training with you, Hermos." The exchange a few hellos but Joni wasn't that interested at all. Instead, he looked around the giant throne room. That's when he first saw Valtin, a twelve year old Valtin. The King followed his gaze and smiled and waved Valtin over. He walked over and bowed before turning to the younger boy.
"Valtin, this is Joni. Joni, this is Valtin, a guard in training." He introduced the two and as quickly as they said the greetings to one another, something clicked between them, locking them in the stings of fate.
"From that day on, you and I became best of friends, we were inseperatable(sp?). I taught you about fighting while Hebu and Taichi just watched. They usually went to watch their brothers train.
"On your fourteenth birthday, I was assigned your guardian. I was eighteen at the time so I was allowed to look after you. It was the time where the three knights finished their training. They often went on missions so we still hang out a lot."
Valtin, when's my brother coming back?" asked Joni. "Soon Joni." replied Valtin. The smaller of the two sighed. Valtin patted his head. "Don't worry, nothing's going to happen to him. Besides, you have me." Joni nodded.
"It was like this until the day came that your destiny was revealed."
Hebi, Joni and Taichi stood in front of the king and Dartz. Their older brothers and Valtin was off to the side, watching.
"I have brought you three here because of the Oricals speaking of a great evil. Of course, we all naturally thought that the three knights would be the ones to defeat them but..." The King trailed off.
"They aren't the chosen ones." finished Taichi and the king nodded. He nodded to Dartz who came forward with three swords.
Each blade was a different color. One was red, another blue and the last was a golden yellow. Darts handed Taichi the blue, Hebu the yellow and Joni the red. They looked over their new weapons.
"Your brothers tried to hold them but they got burned. You three are the chosen ones."
Taichi had a slight smirk, Hebu was looking nervous and Joni was staring down at his sword.
After that, you three trained hard. Two years you turned sixteen and that's when Dartz became crazy and started the war and after he sealed the knights, he went after you three."
A sixteen year old Joni was being dragged by a twenty year old Valtin. They could hear Dartz laughing behind them.
"V-Valtin, I can't run anymore!" Joni panted. "Just keep running Joni, we can't stop yet!" Joni didn't want to stop for anything but his legs felt like jelly now. Valtin knew this but he had to keep Joni safe, he just had to.
"Valtin stop for a minute!" Joni halted, making his older friend stop.
"Listen, I can't beat anyone if Hebu and Taichi are dead. If I were to die but not by his hands, I can be reincarnated and so will Hebu and Taichi. If that happens, then we can defeat the evil in a different time!" Valtin quickly shook his head. "You can't die at all Joni! I'm suppose to protect you!"
"Look around you Valtin! I need to do this!" He tried to reason. Valtin gritted his teeth before slumping in defeat.
"Fine but I'm dieing with you."
They ran to the edge of Atlantis, staring at the lapping waves that swept over the jagard rocks.
"Ready?" asked Valtin and Joni nodded. "Don't worry Jo', no matter what, in the next life, I will find you, I promise." After that being said, they jumped off and a furious yell from Dartz echo'ed after them.
