Eventful Journey.
Act 3.
Part 1: Departure, new place, and new danger.
I looked around me. It was my soul room. My last memory was fainting in Johan's arms, after I killed the pirates. I was suddenly crushed against a chest by two arms around my waist and back. I slightly looked up, and met Haou's golden eyes.
"Haou...?"
He pulled me closer, and exclaimed in a shaky voice, "Don't scare me like that ever again!"
I blinked, then smiled and nodded. He might tease me a lot, but he cared about me, like I cared about him. After all, he was my darker half, and I was his lighter half. And, even if we never said it clearly, we were like brothers. He smiled lightly, pulling me closer. I whacked his arm lightly in a playful way of asking him to stop reading my mind. Though, I knew he would never stop, and it didn't bother me.
Suddenly, we heard a voice. "Hey you two!"
Haou and I turned around, and gasped when we saw the soul of the one I was possessing: Judai. We blinked at him.
"I thought you were sleeping?" Haou said, eyebrows raised.
"I was, but the events earlier woke me! Though I hadn't expected I was Leviathan's son!" His eyes glowed in happiness, showing he was glad to have such a father. I would be glad myself. "By the way, now than I can control these powers, I can open the portal for you."
I gasped. "So we can change dimension?"
"Yup! When you will, I'll take my body back! I know Johan has to go with you, so I'll wait for him." He blushed lightly.
I tilted my head in wonder. Why was he blushing? I wanted to ask, but he said, "Now wake up, and keep travelling."
Everything became shiny, indicating I was waking up. Haou smirked at me, and I raised my eyebrows. Why was he smirking at me?
My eyes fluttered open, and closed again. I felt so warm, I didn't want to wake up. I felt two arms tightening around me, and two bodies pressed closer to mine. This made my eyes snap open. I blushed heavily when I saw Johan and Jo-kun sleeping, each against one of my sides, with one arm around my waist protectively. Now I knew how jam between two pieces of bread felt.
I squirmed some, trying to get them loose. They woke up, and smirked at me. They both kissed the cheek closest to them, then chuckled at my tomato red face. Great, now I had to cope with two perverts... I pouted, making them laugh before they nuzzled my cheeks. I giggled, not able to be mad at them. They obviously had been as afraid as Haou to loose me.
Eventually, we got out of bed, and I said to them that we could change dimension. Jo-kun jumped happily, and Johan had a look of curiosity. Who wouldn't, when you would travel between dimensions for the first time? Jo-kun took his wolf form, tail waving excitedly. Johan was on my other side, hand on his sword to show he was ready to use it if he had to.
I nodded to them, and Judai's powers flowed around us. The portal opened, taking us into it. I felt myself gaining back my body, and we waved at Judai, who was now in control of his own body. Then, the portal shone, and we were sucked to another dimension.
Before we fully vanished from this world, I materialized near Jaden, in case danger would await him. I glanced behind us, and I saw Johan and Judai exchanging a 'I love you'. A small smile formed. Soon, Jaden would say this to his Jesse, I'm sure. I would have think being near Johan and Judai would have made him realize his feelings, but it seemed it still wasn't the time...
Finally, we landed in another dimension. However... Why, WHY did we always have a hurtful landing? First time I crashed on the ground, second time we crashed in a platform, and now... we crashed into freaking TREES! And believe me, that HURT. A lot.
Jo-kun was on his back, his four paws up. Johan was in a similar position, though his arms and legs were flat on the ground. And me... I was hanging on a branch, having fallen onto it on my stomach. My limbs were hanging freely, while I was in too much pain to do anything. The only one unharmed was Haou, who was rolling on the ground, laughing.
After some minutes, the blunets managed to stand up, and they helped me get down. We looked around us, noticing we were in a deep, dark forest. We started walking, hoping to find civilization. Haou was back in our soul, I could hear him snoring. I was tempted to wake him in an unpleasant way, but if I did he would annoy the living delight out of me...
The forest was very dark, and we needed to stay close in order to see each other. The leaves moved, due to a soft breeze. The air was getting colder, and wolves howled far away. I shivered, a feeling of dread washing over me. And I wasn't the only one feeling like that. Jo-kun was very close to my legs, I could feel his tail brushing them to make sure I was still here; and Johan had grabbed my arm. It was official: we were scared to death.
But...
From what?
