"Inner Demon when speaking to Jaden through thoughts""Talking normal" 'Thinking'POV changeFlashback warning (Author's note)Time Skip

Jaden woke, resting against something warm and comfortable. He felt something tighten its grip around his waist before he looked up into the sea-green eyes of Jesse. "I was wondering when you were going to wake up," the blunet spoke.

"When did I go to sleep?" Jaden asked, sitting up a bit as he rubbed his eyes.

"About ten minutes after you kissed me," Jesse replied with a small smirk while the brunet allowed a blush to stain his cheeks.

"I defiantly remember that!" the brunet said, getting to his feet before Jesse did. "What time is it?"

"You weren't asleep for that long. It's noon right now."

"Think we should head back to the others?" Jaden asked, looking towards the direction of the Red Dorm.

"Yeah," the blunet sighed. "Otherwise they would come out here and find us. And we don't want that, now do we?"

"Nope," Jaden replied. "I would never hear the end of it."

"You're not going to hear the end of it anyway," Yuke spoke, snickering a bit. Jaden growled back a little bit, but didn't reply to his inner demon.

"Why did you just growl?" Jesse asked, blinking a little. "Yuke say something that you didn't like or something?"

"He's being a pain in the ass, but that's normal for him!" Jaden replied, grinning a little bit before he and Jesse walked towards the Red Dorm, their arms slung over the other's shoulders, both holding onto the other's arm.

Syrus was the first to speak up when the pair walked out of the forest. "Jaden! Where did you go?"

"Just some place to think, Sy," the brunet replied with a small grin, taking his arm off Jesse's shoulders as the blunet next to him did the same. "I wanted to clear my head and cool off for a bit. I didn't mean to snap at anyone in there, it's just that-"

"We understand, Jaden," Alexis spoke as she walked over to the trio. "Zane told us that when someone finds out about an inner demon, their mind becomes kind of screwed up and they snap constantly. They're unstable for a while. So if you snap, it's no big deal. We can leave you along long enough for you to calm down if you want."

"Yes,"Yuke said in a sarcastic tone."And then maybe you would drop dead if either Jaden or I gave the word, huh? Stupid human girl. I have an idea! How about you and everyone else, other then Shoru's host and Jesse leave us all alone?"

'Do you ever shut up?' Jaden asked in his mind.

"Nope."

'Figured.' "Zane still around?"

"He's with Atticus," Alexis replied, looking over her shoulder towards the lighthouse.

"You sure that's a good idea?"

"Why wouldn't it be?"

(Me: now a little bit of Zane x Atticus goodness.)

"So, you've been possessed since your dark mood?" Atticus asked, throwing a stone into the water of the lake in a certain way that made it skip along the surface.

"That was when he woke up," Zane replied, leaning against a tree as he watched Atticus play with the stones he found. "He took over from time to time and I never got the marks. But I think in that duel you had against me during Shepard's tournament, Shoru was in control."

"Wow, I was dueling a demon."

"So was Syrus."

"Man. He's a pretty tough dueler," Atticus stated. "stubborn, too."

"Why did you turn back into Nightshroud?" Zane curiously asked, looking towards the brunet. "I mean, you said you never wanted to be Nightshroud again. So why?"

Atticus sighed, tangling his fingers together as his eyes wondered somewhere else. "I thought you were lost in the darkness like I was," he began. "And if you were, I was going to try and take you out of it. When I drew the card Nightshroud was sealed in, I tried not to play it, but he was tempting me. So when I did play it, Nightshroud took complete control over me. I thought that if I won, I could help you out of the darkness. But I lost. Though I saw you in the darkness and wanted to help you escape with me. It didn't work like I thought. You said you weren't being controlled by the shadows like I was."

"Shoru said that," Zane pointed out. "Not mw. He was in control during that duel. I was still learning how to suppress him, but at that time, I didn't want to..

"You can control him fine now, though. Right?"

"Not entirely. He will gain sudden control every now and then and I won't be strong enough to hold him back. That was sort of the main reason why I came back here when Shoru told me that he sensed Yuke around. I knew someone had Yuke inside of them, but at the time, I didn't know who. All I knew was that Yuke would manipulate his human self and possibly harm as many people as possible. I didn't want Syrus or my other friends to be hurt. I came here to locate the one with Yuke as an inner demon and see if that person was someone anyone I cared for was constantly around.

"I wasn't expecting it to be Jaden. He would be the last person I would suspect. But it let me know something. He wasn't giving Yuke enough control for him to take sudden possession. I was relieved by that, but then thought that Jaden may lose his control eventually. There are a certain few I don't want him to harm."

"One is Syrus, right?" Atticus asked, looking over to the dark blunet, who nodded in response. "Out of curiosity, but who are the others?"

Zane chuckled slightly before making his way over to the brunet. He knelt down in front of Atticus before he brushed his knuckles against the older Rhodes sibling's cheek. "You," was all Zane said before attaching his lips to Atticus's.

(Me: sorry, but no more Zane x Atticus goodness for a little while. Let's tune in with the rest of the gang!)

"I do not!" Jaden yelled, wrapping his arm around Chazz's neck in a chokehold.

"Do so!" Chazz yelled back, pulling down on Jaden's arm. "Admit it! You do!"

"No I don't!"

"Guys, you should knock it off," Jesse said, acting like the mediator. "This argument is a bit of a pointless one, so stop fighting already."

"When Chazz says I don't," Jaden stated.

"Well you do, slacker," Chazz argued, managing to get Jaden's arm off his neck.

"I do not!"

"Do so!"

"Not!!"

"Stand down, soldiers!" Hassleberry yelled out. "You're giving the rest of the troops a headache!"

"And if Jaden gets mad enough, Yuke might gain control," Syrus added in a bit of a whimpering whine.

"No he won't," Jaden reassured. "He's laughing his butt off right now."

"I can't blame him," Jesse laughed out.

"I think the same thing," Alexis agreed. "And why are you arguing over something like that?"

"It's a guy thing," Chazz and Jaden both replied at the same time.

Me: end of this chapter. U can just imagine what the two were arguing about, ok? And I no it's short, but I'm running out of ideas.
