Hardly Free

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

But I do own Markus. (And possibly the beta as a sister-in-law)

Reviews!

Jj4evr: At least it let you review this time. That's all that matters, right!

Grimmjowlover6: Now you don't have to wait anymore, hehe!

UnratedCrimsonBlood: Yeah he is, but he has to be in order to fit what needs to happen, if he wasn't all my careful planning would go up in smokes. I dun wanna see that!

Pompom25: I can't tell you what's going to happen, you're just going to have to keep reading to find out.

Harashika: I'm surprised to read that, see, I had no clue Markus came out like that. I was aiming for him to be a part of the GX universe but I felt he would never fit in. I'm glad my story impresses you so much!

Jwarnock291: Well, I can't say what is going to happen, so far no one knows where this is going, which makes me very happy.

I run into the forest, not paying attention to where I am going because all I want to do is get away from Markus. Bastion may have saved himself from being put on the list of those I'm not allowed to talk to anymore.

As I run through the forest I don't slow down nor do I stop anytime soon, only one thought is going through my mind. I have to get away from Markus so I can think. I have to think about a way away from the man.

Maybe telling Chazz will help out; I mean Chazz is a strong willed person. He doesn't back down from any challenge, nor is he so easily afraid of people. He may be the answer to my prayers.

Running deeper into the forest, I trip over an uprooted root, and fall down onto my face. I lay there for a few minutes just breathing. Maybe I am far enough away to be able to think clearly. I sit up on the cold ground. I look around my surroundings, as I curl into a tight ball.

Young one, are you alright? You seem to be distraught over something, but I can't tell what it is. Let me help you out. Let me calm these feelings enough for you to be able to breathe properly.

Jadai, Markus raped an innocent because he didn't want to break a promise to me, and didn't want to chase after Chazz yet. I ran from him, I know he will punish me severely for running away from him, but I couldn't take his smug look.

He's happy that he raped someone, because it made you feel pain for not being able to protect the student from Markus, like you have been trying to do. You are disappointed in yourself for not making Markus break his promise to get rid of his arousal by raping you.

I hear a crunching noise come from the left side of me, and looking up to that side I can barely see Chazz standing over me. Moving some, I lift my head to get a better view of Chazz as he walks closer to my side.

"Jaden, I want you to tell me who you have a restraining order against." speaks Chazz while coming closer to my side.

I don't say anything as I stay where I am, thinking to myself about what Markus had done to that kid. A kid, why couldn't he have just broke his damn promise to me and raped me instead of an innocent person?

"Jaden, this has got to stop, the man who raped the kid is the same one who raped you. Tell me, so I can stop him." Says Chazz before sitting down next to me.

I don't say a word, how can I say anything to him about Markus, because if I do it helps Markus out in the long run. He wants Chazz and if Chazz knows it's him, he can go after him and try to break him. I can't let Markus do that.

"I can't tell you, Chazz, the best I can say to you is to surround yourself with friends and he won't go after you" I say, but not looking at him.

"I will find out everything I can about the man that you placed a restraining order against and in Juvenile Hall to have been transferred to prison. I will protect you," growls Chazz before getting up. He holds out his hand, offering to help me up.

I give him my left hand, so I won't go hurting my right arm, which needs a while still to heal from being broken. As I stand up I see Markus coming into the clearing, I walk up to him as he stops short a few feet from Chazz and me.

"Jaden, there you are. I have been looking all over this campus, trying to find you. I can't tell you how relieved I am to see that you are unhurt," says Markus, half lying to me.

He pulls me up against his chest; I wince in pain as I rub up against his body irritating the new whip marks on my chest. He leans down and places his lips onto mine, forcing me to kiss him in front of Chazz, making it look like he is happy to have found me.

"Sorry for running away." I whisper low enough, not wanting Chazz to hear.

"Why are you crying, Jaden?" asks Chazz, now noticing the tears coming down my face.

"He's sad because of what happened to his fellow student. Let us get back to our dorm room," speaks Markus for me.

"He can tell me himself why he is crying. I believe I asked him, not you. Jaden?" Chazz growls out as he moves up next to my body.

"I'm sorry, Chazz, but I was so upset about our fellow student getting raped last night and I felt like I needed to be alone for a little while. Thank you for talking to me about your concerns, but I believe Markus can keep me safe." I say, half lying to him, knowing he knows I am a bad liar and he can tell when I am lying or not.

"Alright, Jaden, I will see you later on then," nods Chazz just before turning around and walking out of the small clearing I had been in first.

"You, my precious toy, have been a very bad pet," starts Markus.

"So sue me." I whisper before I even think.

"I think the punishment should start as soon as we get to the abandoned dorm. Now move it, I want to start," growls Markus while pushing me in the direction of the abandoned dorm.

This time I let Jadai take over now, I need some sleep right now and I can take this time to do just that. I have gotten tired from crying and running around in the forest for a long time. I let sleep claim me.

Shit! Jaden is in trouble! He should not have run away or opened his mouth. But it is his way of fighting back the best he can.

So! –Author ducks into some ferns to escape the wrath of the readers- I swear things will look up for Jaden, just not yet!

Oh, I have a twist coming up in two chapters from now. If anyone can guess (review your guess) what the twist is I'll dedicate that chapter to them!

Review and please read on, and review! I love reviews!

And please be nice and/or polite when you review because we both love POSITIVE feedback (from the beta).
