A Place Burned
Chapter Eleven: A New Set of Plans and Meeting Eddy Jones
Jason' P.O.V
I saw Austin come around a corner and stopped in front of me. He apparently had to run to get to me. He was shorter than me by a few inches, but not by much.
He kneeled before me, "Master Jason, I come with news concerning Kysa." I nodded my head for him to continue. "Sayer was at The Ditch earlier today, he was watching Kysa duel and apparently he has found out about that she is indeed the Mechanic Rose and that she is the daughter of Lady Akiza. He also has seen to, fall in love with her!"
I punched the wall beside me in anger, causing him to jump, "Then, why didn't you consult him and finish him on the spot." I demanded more than I asked.
"M-master Jason p-please reconsider your actions! If we attack him we would surely bring attention onto ourselves and what's worse was there were innocent people there, your sister and her new friend are just two examples!"
I cringed as he said that. My sister is important to this case, but her friend. That Ren He' Shay better know who he'll be dealing with if he gets on the wrong side of my family.
"I met Ren; he states he no longer serves Sayer." Austin added.
I must have looked relieved. I sighed, but then turned serious. It could have been a lie!
"What he spoke is true Master Jason. He cannot speak a lie so much like yourself and Kysa."
I turned away from him, "meet me, Kysa, Ren, and Vachan back at the coastal line in 2 days Austin, I'll be picking us up and dropping us back at the Satellite then for the Annual Gathering, do I make myself clear." I turned to look at him once.
He nodded his head frantically, "y-yes Master Jason." With that he left.
Darkness started to cover the sky. Neo Domino buildings lit up. I went into an alleyway, seeing a shadow form into a man about my age.
"Any news brother?" He asked.
I nodded my head toward him, "indeed brother, bad news and good."
He looked at me with azure eyes that darkened in the shadows, making them seem as black as his hair. "Go on then brother," he told me.
I gulped. Father only knows his reactions to news like what I'm about to tell him. "I'll state the good news first: Kysa successfully got Sayer out of his shell, too bad it'll do nothing until he makes a move. Which I fear is soon. H-he fell-," I couldn't finish.
"He fell in love with our sister." Vachan finished for me. He stood up, the shadows being repelled by him. He stood slightly taller than me, though most people would say I'm taller.
He was close to me, like breath to breath close. "Let him," he said, "it'll only make things worse on his part. He doesn't know that our dear little sister can be quite a fighter when she needs to be." With that he chuckled evilly and left, sending shivers down my spine as he walked away from me and disappeared into the shadows, his voice echoing off the walls of the alleyway, "it's only a matter of time before he makes a move and gets himself killed!"
Dawn light broke through the darkness, lightening up the alleyway and the sky.
Ren He' Shay' P.O.V
I yawned and stretched my arms over my head. I turned to see Kysa sleeping peacefully.
That nightmare she had last night, what did it mean? I sat up and closed my eyes, pondering on what to say to that. I felt a vibration in my pocket. I pulled out my phone that I somehow forgot was even there.
I chuckled to myself, I'm an idiot!
I opened it to see the collar I.D. stating it with my friend: Eddy Jones- BG #2 2 S. (Bodyguard Number 2 to Sayer of the Arcadia Movement). I rolled my eyes. What does he want in this hour, from me? I thought.
I pressed the accept button and took a deep breath as I placed the phone by my ear, "He' Shay Ren speaking, can I help in any way I can?"
"Dang Ren, you sound tired man." Eddy said concerned. I remember him: violet hair that framed his face and green narrow eyes that shout power. He was built like an athlete and he was physically speaking stronger than me, Key, and Mike combined. I could see how he can get into the bodyguard business, being a mammoth of a man.
"I-I just woke up man, hey, how are you, Mike, and Key doing?" I asked, trying to sound less tired then I have done before.
"We be doing fine, it's just that Jane' been beaten up real badly. The Mechanic Rose or this Kysa Izayoi girl messed him up good."
I felt anger rise. Kysa didn't harm Jane. Her brother did! "Hey man, I got news to tell you, I don't-," he cut me off.
"You don't want to talk about Jane, that's alright with me man."
"No man, this is for real dude, listen to me now! Kysa Izayoi is not who she is. She's the Mechanic Rose yes, but not Izayoi, she's a-," I stopped myself. I couldn't believe how foolish I could have been if I told Eddy, a loyal bodyguard to Sayer, about Kysa being a Fudo. I would have crushed my and Kysa' trust like a piece of paper and everyone knows when a piece of paper is crunched up, it can never be perfect again.
"Well, go on man, she's a what?"
"N-never mind man, I-I can't tell you, I should never have brought it up in the first place. But listen, the one who beat Jane up was her older brother, and by the looks of it I say he's pretty tough."
Eddy was silent. I bit my lip in anticipation. "Even so, then that Izayoi boy is strong, to do that to Jane."
I thanked the gods that he was clueless on the matter. "What condition is Jane in?"
"Better than he was when he came back to the Arcadia Movement. He was a walking bloody mess. Who's this Izayoi boy who pummeled Jane into submission anyway?"
"Ugh, V-Vachan Fu- Izayoi." I said.
Eddy wasn't fast to catch on things, so I was lucky when he replied an ok.
"Say man, would you like to meet Kysa? She's a nice girl and it'll take off some stress for her."
I heard chuckling from the other end, "sure thing man, it's a date."
I blushed harshly at that and yelled into the phone which surprised me because I try to keep my voice as level as I can, "IT'S NOT A DATE!"
Kysa stirred and opened her eyes. I blushed madly.
"Sure man, I'll see yeah at the Forte Restaurant tonight. They have great French and Italian food there. And their salad is amazing." With that he hanged up on me.
All I did was look at Kysa, the blush on my face not showing any signs of leaving. I closed my phone and placed it back into my pocket.
Kysa looked back up to me, "who was that?"
"A-a friend, Eddy Jones is his name, h-he wants to meet us at the Forte Restaurant tonight."
Kysa looked shocked. "I have one day left until the gathering of my many family members; I need to train."
I looked at her with hopefully a pleading look in my eyes. She sighed, "Oh, alright."
I smiled at her in reassurance.
That night, Kysa and I, and even Kat found our way to the Forte Restaurant.
We saw Eddy right away since he was leaning against a pillar and that he was the only big guy there.
I came up to the front of us and greeted Eddy.
"This is Kysa Izayoi." I told him.
He looked dazed by her. He shook her hand which needless to say earned a growl from me for some reason.
We went inside. A waiter came to us and handed us the menus. She hesitated with Kysa for some reason and even glared a little at her but smiled sweetly at Eddy and me.
As we looked through the menus, I asked Eddy if he had a sister, since I figured Kat' last name is Jones.
His expression went to sad. "Yeah man, I did have a sister. Catherine Jones was her name, man, she sure loved fireworks and other explosives, mostly dynamite."
I cringed. So Kat is his sister. I felt sorry for the guy. He lost a sister.
"You see, I didn't want to work for Sayer either and Kat despised him." Eddy said. Kysa, Kat, and I were silent. "You see, Sayer kills his enemies, right man?" I nodded. "Well that's the thing, Kat threatened to blow up the Arcadia Movement and in reaction Sayer killed her. If you're thinking why the hell I'm working for him is that Sayer has no idea that I know he did that. I'm going get him back somehow."
Eddy' narrowed green eyes went dark. Mine would have gone into a glare too.
Kat spoke up even though Eddy couldn't hear her, "I don't remember having an older brother, but I do remember how I died. That's the reason why I hate Sayer as much as Kysa' family back at the Satellite does. And a bit more may I add."
I nodded my head in understanding to both of them. Kysa looked at the waiter nervously, who was talking to 3 others.
They all glanced at her. I was about to ask if she was okay when suddenly a bright flash wavered through the restaurant. My eyes adjusted to the blinding light to see all 4 of them, the waiter and 3 other people held duel disks that belong to the Arcadia Movement.
"Ren He' Shay and Eddy Jones; I thank you for leading the enemy here." The "waiter" said, smiling at Eddy and me.
I glared at Eddy, "is this a trap?" I asked him angrily.
He shook his head. "I didn't set anything man, I didn't even know Sayer placed 4 duelist here."
I thought about how Sayer would find out. Then it hit me: our conversation over the phone!
"Sayer, he's been listening to our conversation, he planned this."
Waiter laughed. "Now, now, let's not place our leader in this case. You have to worry about us."
"I no longer serve Sayer, you can tell him that."
"No," Kysa sounded. "They're not going to live to tell the tale. Otherwise, Sayer' going to send more men for you Ren." She brought out her duel disk. In the light is flashed metallic pink.
I brought out my own when Eddy said, "leave these amateurs to me then."
I looked at Eddy who took out his own duel disk. It was a dark shade of blue and green and it darkened the room a bit.
His eyes glowed a dark green. "You can tell Sayer, that I'm quitting." With that he set a card on his duel disk. On our side a gold dragon appeared.
It had some green scales and black eyes. Its chest has a large mouth on it… with sharp spiky teeth.
"Welcome to the field, Gold Teeth Dragon." Eddy said, clearly proud of his dragon. The dragon gave a roar from the mouth on its chest and looked at our opponents.
Kysa followed his lead. She set a card on her duel disk. "Come to the field my dragon."
The roof of the restaurant was blown right off of the building. There was her dragon that I so feared and met during the first time I dueled Kysa: Machine Flora Dragon. "Meet Machine Flora Dragon." Kysa said as her dragon gave a powerful roar that vibrated. Other costumers fled and one of our opponents was cowering in fear. Kysa' eyes were ignited. There was a fire in her magenta eyes that told me that our opponents weren't going to get off easily.
I placed a card on my duel disk. My eyes glowed light blue. There was a bright flash and my dragon appeared on the field. It gave a powerful roar and flew into the sky. My dragon was white and had a purple belly. Its eyes were black and ignited on my dragon's wings was blue fire. "Meet my dragon, White Blue Fire Dragon."
We had three dragons on our field. They had nothing. 2 cowardly left, our "waiter" was either very brave or very foolish, and the last one was about to run away.
"Go, Gold Teeth Dragon, blow them to bits with your Teeth Slash Blast."
Eddy' dragon reared up and shot many scales into the air. They rained down but that wasn't enough. Gold Teeth Dragon blew green smoke from the mouth on its chest and covered the ground in it. The scales pierced all around us, on our side and on theirs.
My dragon gave a painful roar and I realized it got destroyed. "Sorry man, but that's the risk for Teeth Slash Blast." Eddy said, "No hard feelings, right?"
I shook my head and smiled, "my dragon's not going to like you, but yeah, no hard feelings man."
I turned to look at our opponents. No one was around; the field was all covered in scales that look like Gold Teeth Dragon' chest teeth.
Kysa brought back her dragon.
I went to Eddy and surprised the both of us by threatening him. "When you see those 4 again, make sure they say nothing about us to Sayer if they haven't yet and make sure you speak no words about Kysa around him, got it?" He nodded his head.
"But, remember the conversation over the phone, he might have heard it all."
I cringed at that thought.
"Impossible," Kysa said.
I looked toward her to see her place something in her chest pocket. She walked toward us and told us something that surprised us both. "Those 4 worked for Sayer yes, but Sayer couldn't have planned this. It's to out-in-the-open for it to be Sayer. There may be a new enemy I have to worry about or it could have been another man working for Sayer. There was no way though that anybody would have gotten onto your conversation over the phone, if there was you would have had heard something interfering it."
Eddy whistled, "That's right man, nothing like that happened over our conversation."
I looked at Kysa, "clever and beautiful, you surely are a Fu- ugh I mean Izayoi."
Kysa blushed and looked away quickly and muttered thanks. Luckily Eddy didn't notice it, but it had to dawn on him right there and now.
"You're not really an Izayoi, are you?" I held my breath as he asked that.
Kysa tensed. "I have Izayoi blood yes, but my last name isn't exactly Izayoi."
Eddy thought for a minute, until his eyes went wide. "You're a Fudo!"
I thought I stopped breathing. I pulled Eddy' attention away from her to me, "say anything about her to Sayer, or you my friend will be in your grave." I seethed the warning out which took all of us by surprised.
Okay, I admit, it was a little harsh but not as harsh as it would have been with Jane, or any other. I would have shed blood, now in my case that would have been harsh to a level of "I'm going insane!" and such like that to a standard point.
Eddy nodded his head and smiled, "you got my word man, nothing like that would leave my mouth, even in life or death I swear to you I will keep her secret safe with me. They would have to kill me to get it and even then I won't speak."
I sighed relived and smiled at the big guy. "Thanks man, hey do me a favor and tell Mike and Key I'm alright, okay."
"You got it man." With that he left, walking down an alleyway, away from the restaurant.
Light broke through the darkness of the night. I swallowed. Today's the day! I thought. Today you're going to see Kysa' family!
Author's Note: Now let me tell you straight out that on school days I will work on the story to the point where I can no longer work on it and on the weekends, upload until I have to write more.
