"Don't make me regret telling this to you early!" Kyle said sitting down on Jaden's bed.
"I won't! Now tell me!!" Jesse said sitting on the floor getting all anxious.
"Before I tell you about Hinata and Layla, I think I should tell you about Jaden and Haou. What do you know about what happened in the Dark World while Yubel possessed you?"
"All they told me was that Jaden was being a real jackass and going off and doing things on his own. But that was just the affect of the Dark World on them or something, so all the things they said and did to Jaden wasn't what they meant. And same with Jaden."
"I got a lot to explain then! Well, some stuff happened and Chazz, Alexis, Atticus, Syrus and Hassleberry all got infected with this weird book that made each of them feel a different negative emotion towards Jaden. Everyone except Syrus got captured by the REALLY mad King Brron, and were sacrificed to make a card called Super Fusion. And this was done because Jaden was dueling Brorn and he activated a weird card and started to sacrifice them whenever Jaden attacked. He forced Jaden to attack and they all died."
"WHAT!?!? BUT-BUT- BUT HOW ARE THEY STILL HERE!?!?" Jesse shouted, totally lost now.
"I'll get to that! Anyways, when they all died, Jaden snapped. He was already mad at Yubel for what she did, upset that you had to suffer for him and get stuck in another dimension, and when they met people in the Dark World, one of them sacrificed himself to help Jaden. So he was pretty beaten up about everything. So watching his best friends die before his eyes was just enough to push him to the edge. After he won and before Brron died, he said that you were dead and it was his fault or something like that. Then Syrus, Jim and Axel all said some bad things to him and left him to wallow in self pity."
"Damn them! How could they?!"
"What part of Dark World don't you get?! So, after that, Haou made and appearance. To sum up who he is, he's Jaden's darker half. He called himself Supreme King Haou/Jaden. And while Haou was running amuck, sacrificing anything that moved to get Super Fusion done, the real Jaden was in his dark heart trying to figure out what he had done. So, Haou is an evil Jaden. But he's dead but his powers are still in Jaden. And after Jaden saved you and defeated Yubel, they all came back to life."
"Teacher, question." Jesse said raising his hand.
"Yes Jesse? Is there a question you have for the class?"
"WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS HAVTA DO WITH LAYLA?!!?!?" Jesse shouted which caused Kyle to fall back on Jaden's bed in surprise.
"Wait for it…" Kyle said slowly sitting up.
"What do you-…is Hinata Layla's…?"
"BING! BING! BING! WE HAVE A GENIUS!!! Took you long enough! Hinata is Layla's other half. Though, she didn't used to be like this…"
"Wait, Hinata's been out before?"
"When we were kids. Layla was really worried when Jaden was kidnapped or something. And since Layla felt that way, so did Hinata. So, Hinata came out and helped Layla save Jaden. And before Layla took control of her body again from Hinata, she said that she would always look after and help Jaden."
"But what the hell happened to make her all evil!? If she was so good, what could have caused THIS to happen!?"
"It's simple: like Jaden, Hinata and Layla were pushed to far. We were at a stadium after a concert, I think it was hers, and this weird guy in a black trench coat came and trapped me and all of our friends and her family in the shadow realm. Please say you know what that is?" Jesse nodded. "Good. So anyways, he brought Layla there and dueled her for our freedom. But the more life points she lost, the more of us would be lost to darkness. And Hinata had been helping, but the shadows somehow got to her and made her evil. And Hinata took full control after that while Layla went into the darkest part of her heart and, I'm only guessing now, was mad at the Shadow Rider, that's what he said he was, and at herself for letting that happen. So, I think that Layla is still trapped in her mind, pissed as hell. While Hinata is caught in the shadows grip. We havta safe them both before the shadows get them completely!"
"…"
"You ok Jesse?" Jesse was really really REALLY pale after hearing that. He was totally speechless. "Hello? Anybody home?" Kyle asked waving his hand in front of Jesse. Just then, a light bulb appeared over Kyle's head. He went into his suitcase, which he didn't bother to unpack, and pulled out a foghorn. He put the foghorn up to Jesse's head and pressed down the button.
"WWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" Jesse shouted falling over on his back staring wide eyed at Kyle who was rolling around the floor laughing his ass off. "GOD DAMNIT KYLE!!! WHAT'D YOU DO THAT FOR!?!?"
"You were in a trance and I had to wake you up somehow!" Kyle said, still rolling around. He calmed down after a few minutes and sat back on the bed. "Do you still have questions? Or can I go shower and go to sleep? Wait, I never ate dinner!!" Kyle didn't wait for an answer from Jesse and ran down to the cafeteria. He said hi to Dorothy, got his dinner, ate it, said thank you, petted Pharaoh, and was back in his room all under 2 minutes. "So, any questions?"
"No, not really. Well, not about Hinata. My question is: HOW CAN YOU DO ALL THAT UNDER 2 MINUTES!?!?"
"O.o I don't know!" Kyle said in a shaky voice. "Now that I think about, I've always been able to do that! And I never knew why!"
"That's a little weird. Well, I'm gonna go grab my dinner while you shower." They each walked out of the room.
OOOOOOOO
The shadows were everywhere. Someone was running away from it, but they were faster. They got in front of him and took the shape of the person running. The only difference was their eyes. The shadows were an evil gold. Those eyes made the boy move back a few steps.
"Don't tell me that you're still afraid of me Jaden." The shadow said. "I am half of what you are after all! How can you be scared of half of yourself?"
"I'm not scared of you Haou!" Jaden said, losing the fear in his eyes and gaining anger. "I'm scared to become you again!"
"You can't run from me forever! You will become me again whether you want to or not!" shadows came from behind Haou and were headed straight for Jaden. Jaden turned and ran the other way. After a few minutes of running, Jaden saw someone in the distance.
"LAYLA!!" he called. Layla turned around and was slowly starting to become covered by the shadows. They were only at her feet. When Jaden looked at her face, he saw that her eyes were still turquoise, but they held way to much fear. "Hold on! I'll help you! Just hold on!"
"How can you save her from the shadows when you can't even save yourself?!" Hinata popped up next to Layla and was the same shape as Layla. But had her usual purple eyes. "Because you were to weak, Layla's gonna be lost to the shadows! And you're gonna join her! And it will be all your fault once you start to hurt you friends and family!"
The shadows had finally caught up to Jaden and wrapped around his legs. He tried to struggle, but they wouldn't move. He looked up at Layla. The shadows were all the way up to her hips. While his shadows were only up to his shins. He stopped resisting the shadows and let them slowly drag him down into infinite darkness like Layla had done.
"JADEN!!" Jaden looked around for the voice. He couldn't find the source. "Sir Jaden! You mustn't stop fighting! You're not weak! You're just as strong as you always were! So you don't have Layla to bail you out this time! You still have all your other friends! You must stay strong! That's all that Lady Layla needs from you while you recover from your duel! If you give in, then Layla truly will be lost forever!"
Just then, the shadows around his legs disappeared in a blinding light. Some of the shadows around Layla were disappearing too. Jaden ran to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"It's ok Layla." He said in a gentle voice. "Just, come back. I miss you. Kyle needs you to keep him from being a dumb ass. And I can tell that Jesse wants to see you again. You don't have to be as strong like when we were kids. You can let me and Kyle help you more now. You don't have to do anything anymore." The shadows around her legs started to disappear again.
"O no you don't!" came Hinata's voice. The shadows around Layla increased again and the look on her face went from emotionless, to sheer anger. "Nothing can save her from the shadows! Nothing! Her soul will be lost to the darkness! Just like yours will!"
"I'll take it from here" Haou's voice boomed in Jaden's mind. The shadows started to come around Jaden's legs again, but at a much faster pace. They started to pull him down into the infinite darkness again. "You cannot escape me this time! The shadows will consume you! Or at the very least, destroy you!"
"NNNNOOO!!" Jaden shouted as his head was about to go under.
"JADEN! WAKE UP!!"
OOOOOOO
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!" Jaden shouted as he shot up. He was breathing heavily and drenched in sweat. He winced in pain seeing as how he was still hurt and he just sat up at like 55 miles an hour! He leaned against the back of the bed for support. He looked around and saw Alexis on the floor, eyes wide at Jaden, everyone else was standing around the room, eyes also wide. He then noticed that the sun was out. 'Must have fallen asleep after Layla sung' he thought. Jaden then realized what he had just done and started to laugh nervously.
"Now THAT'S what I call a good way to get up!" Kyle said.
"That was…what's the word, interesting, no, O! Colorful! That's it!" Bastion said. Jaden laughed nervously again.
"Sorry bout that." Jaden said. "You alright Lex?"
"I'm fine, but what about you?" Alexis asked, starting to stand up. "That must have been one hell of a dream for you to wake up screaming THAT! What happened?"
"…Nothing."
"Jaden" Alexis put her hands on her hips and glared at him. "If you won't tell us about your dream, you're gonna tell us about Hinata, Layla and Haou! Tell us now!"
"What?! Wait! Kyle was gonna do that!"
"He said it would be better for you to do it."
'Bastard just doesn't want to do it and is making me do it!' Jaden thought as he glared at the grinning Kyle. 'He'll pay for this!'
"Fine! Now, where do I start…?"
"I say you should start with what happened after they all died." Kyle suggested. Jaden sighed and started to tell them about how he had snapped and gave into the darkness, or Haou, and killed countless people. Alexis fainted, while everyone else just shouted, "WHAT!?" After Alexis woke up, about 10 minutes later, Jaden continued. Once he finished telling them about what happened in the Dark World, he told them about the time he had been kidnapped and Hinata/Layla saved him. And that Hinata was supposed to be kind, not evil. Kyle cut in at that point and explained what happened at the stadium. "And that's about it." Kyle finished. "Any questions? No? Good."
"So, how do we save her Serge?" Hassleberry asked.
"At this point, I really don't know." Jaden said looking down at his hands, his eyes covered by his bangs. Just then the nurse walked in.
"I think that's enough visiting for now." Ms. Fontaine said. "You kids have class now. You can stay Kyle, Jim and Jesse, but don't do anything to Jaden! He's better, but still needs rest. The rest of you: go to class! Now!" she ushered them out and went back to look at Jaden. "Your heart rate is normal, but, I want you to stay a little longer. You did crash into a wall. And if you try and escape again, I'll strap you to the bed with chains and take away all of the pain killers."
"WHAT?!!" Jaden shouted. "THAT HAS TO BE CHILD ABUSE!!"
"I'm giving you a warning. Boys! Don't let him leave!" Ms. Fontaine started to walk to her office.
"MA'AM YES MA'AM!" Kyle, Jim and Jesse said saluting her on her way out. As soon as she was gone, they all started to crack up at what she said.
"Jaden! You should know better then to annoy a woman with tranquilizers and who can save your life!" Kyle said, holding his sides so he can try and breathe properly. All he got as a response was a 'humph!'
