I've had a hard time finding the time sit down and write lately what with school and all the teenage drama that comes with it, but I'm hanging in there... and at this rate I'm going to start to lose my grip on reality, or what little I had to begin with.

I don't Rosario + Vampire or Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

As Kurumu and Moka each pulled on one of Jaden's arms, the young man's patients was starting to ware thin...

"Well, you can't have him!" Moka all but yelled at the blue-haired succubus.

"Why, not?" Kurumu asked.

"BECOUSE HE'S MI-"

"ENOUGH!" Jaden bellowed in exasperation, shocking both of the two into silence. After taking a few deep breathes to clam himself, Jaden continued, addressing the young succubus and vampire. "Before you deiced that I belong to anyone there is something you should know." he said... then without saying anything more he began to walk away.

"Wait! Weren't you going say something important?!" Kurumu called out after him.

"No, I'm not going to tell you what but there is something you need to know about who and what I am, before you claim me as your life-partner or something along those lines." Jaden answered without turning around.

"But why?" Moka asked.

The former duelist turned to look at the pink haired vampire. "Because, what I said to your other self was the toned down version. If I had told her every thing, she would be horrified."

Both Moka and Kurumu's eyes widened in shock, the story Jaden had told the unsealed vampire had completely shocked the gentler half, and both her and Kurumu couldn't believe that Moka's cold vampire self would ever feel horrified about anything.

"So now you know that do you still want to have anything to do with me?" Jaden asked

Later that night Jaden lay awake in his room and thought about the mess he had come across both Kurumu and Moka said there wasn't any way his past could be that bad and they would always be there for him and that resulted in anther "tug-o-war" that in end with Moka sucking Jaden's blood.

And there was still the matter of his cards. 'Well there is now sense in stalling any more.' Jaden thought to himself as sat up put his hand over his almost empty Deck-case and closed his eyes as he used Yubel's power to sending a message to his cards, 'Staff meeting every one.'

And when he opened his eyes he was in the pocket dimension where the power of his Duel Monsters came together and became the Heart of the Cards, a realm where almost anything is possible... Including, Yubel making it look like it look like a hotel from the 20's.

Yubel and all the others were there, except for one "Where's Burstinatrix?", Jaden asked.

"The fire manipulator currently has great need to talk to you." Yubel answered.

"Okay, that's one of the reasons I'm here.", Jaden said nodding his understanding before he continued addressing every one there, "Everyone, we need to talk."

"Inferno Wing", Jaden said, "You're the only one of the Evil-heroes that remain why is that."

The green haired fiend smiled, "Because, I was acutely the only one of them Haou really had any bond with."

Jaden tilted his head to the side confused. 'I didn't think that Haou ever cared about anything other than fighting.' Jaden thought before he shock his head. "Okay, moving on."

"Kisara, Akastuki, Rose and Mana." Jaden addressed the four spirits, (who were in human-form) "What you did was manipulative... but I'm not going to toss you out, you were lonely and I understand, but don't understand why you didn't just come to my as friends instead of doing what you did."

Akastuki face became downcast with guilt. The plan to use the Rite of Names had been her Idea and now in hind-sight it seemed very selfish and imposing, she had assumed to much, "We didn't want a friend we wanted a mate and didn't stop to think about what you might want."

Jaden nodded "And that brings us over to you, Kisara. Why come to me when you areadly had a bond with Seto Kiaba?"

Kisara looked down and felt tears come to her eyes and quietly said in a soft voice, "He turned me aside because he didn't want to have any connection to the ancient past. I was longing for the abyss until I remembered that day you came across the torn card in that man's shop and the bond that tried to form almost instantly after you saw it."

"And you a chance for happiness with me?" Jaden asked in summery. Kisara nodded and began to cry as the pain of losing Seto and the memory of meeting Jaden stirred with in her and collapsed to her knees. And as the tears really started, a pair of arms rapped around her and pulled her into a comforting embrace.

Jaden held the blue-eyed woman close and rocked her gently and let her cry it out, and Kisara let loose a rain of pain tears.

And after Kisara had fallen asleep Yubel came and set the white-haired girl in her arms and said very quietly as so not to wake Kisara, "You know something, Jaden? This one reminds me of... Me."

Yubel let out a soft chuckle at her own words, causing the young woman her arms to stir before settling back into a dreamless sleep. Yubel looked up at Jaden, "Why don't you go talk to Burstinatrix about her little problem? I can handle things here. And everyone ales left to give you and this 'Kisara' some space. You will know which room his hers when you get there.", Yubel told Jaden before she started to hum a lullaby to the sleeping dragon.

After a little several fights of stairs (only to find out about the elevator later) Jaden had found the room with Burstinatrix's card on the door, indicating that he had found her room, he knocked on the door.

"GO AWAY, YUBEL! I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" Burstinatrix's voice answered, it was obvious she was completely upset about something.

Burstinatrix had been in her room ever since Yubel had made it, it was a nice room, Yubel had taken grate care in furnishing it and the others for each of its tenets' wants and needs.

After she had yelled the Elemental-hero instantly felt bad about it. Yubel had seen the state that Burstinatrix was in and tried to get her to talk about it but it wasn't Yubel wasn't the one that she need to talk to.

"Burst, it's me." Jaden's voice came through the door.

The fire manipulator jumped to her feet and rushed to the door and opened it, revealing the former duelist. "Hey... Can I come in?" he asked.

Burstinatrix nodded, afraid to trust her own voice, and stepped aside to let Jaden in her heart pounding in her chest.

Jaden looked about the room as he interred and heard the door close as Burstinatrix closed the door behind him and chuckled, "Yubel, totally stole all of this from that TV show, Angel, Alexis made me watch. You know the off-shoot of that Buffy the Vampire Slayer show that she was obsessed with at the time."

Burstinatrix looked around her and saw that he was right. "Yeah, I hadn't noticed it before but now that you mention it..." Burstinatrix said, letting her voice trail off.

Jaden walked over to a coach and sat down and motioned for her to set next to him. Burstinatrix blushed as she went over to him and sat down. "You needed to talk to me?", Jaden said to his childhood companion.

Burstinatrix shock her head, "I'm fine.", she lied "You're lucky to have the those others in your life... You... don't need me now."

And then Jaden understood what the problem was, "Burst, I have known you from when I was fourteen. I will never replace you, as a Duel-monster or a friend.", he told the Elemental-hero.

"But they're so much more attractive than me.", Bustinatrix said, her worry about being abandoned causing her to down grade her self.

Jaden sighed "Do you remember the day that I first got you?" he asked.

Burstinatrix nodded, she remembered that day. The second Jaden had touched her card she felt as though a fire had begun to light up her soul.

"When I first saw you my first thought were 'I can't put this card in my deck I wouldn't be able to duel because I'd be starring at her boobs instead of focusing on winning'.", Jaden told the fire manipulator, making her blush, "I still don't how Pegasus was able to sign off on your look being acceptable for a children's card game."

Burstinatrix looked her self over and saw that he was right, her body suit left a large amount of skin showing on her side, the flame like patterns that came up over her beasts barely covered any thing, and showed her sizable cups off for everyone, and she had the curves to match.

"So while they are damn attractive you will always have your place in my heart, Burst." Jaden said to his long time friend.

Burstinatrix was over come with joy and she showed it by tackling Jaden to the couch and kissing him. While the one before was quick and cool this one was long and feverish.

After she finely came up for air she laid down on top of Jaden, "As long as I have even the tiniest piece of your heart... I don't care how many others there are." she said before closing her eye and snuggling up close to the one who had captured her heart.
