Jaden's POV

"Jaden, what on Earth are you trying to do?" Winged Kuriboh demanded. What he was referring to was the fact that I was trying to get the attention of Dr. Yates, who entered my room shortly after Blair left. "He's even less likely to hear you than your friends."

I frowned and rolled away from Dr. Yates and looked at Winged Kuriboh. "Yeah, I know, but what else can I do? Winged Kuriboh, I've tried everything I can think of and nothing's worked!"

He poked my cheek with his claw. "Jaden, you're over thinking this. Sometimes you can only get what you want when you stop trying."

I looked at him, my jaw falling slack. "You're telling me just to quit trying to wake up?"

He frowned. "Jaden, that's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

He looked upset. "Jaden…"

"Dr. Yates, I just saw Chief and Dr. Yuki enter Claire Sato's room," a nurse said, walking into my room.

I looked away from Winged Kuriboh and down at the group of medical professionals in my room. "What's going on?"

"I don't know," Winged Kuriboh said, sitting down on my shoulder. I moved closer so I could hear what they were discussing.

Dr. Yates nodded and picked up the clipboard that was attached to the end of my bed. "Excellent. I'll go and discuss Jaden's current condition with them while you take him for his check up and changing."

The nurse nodded, saying, "Very well, Dr. Yates."

The doctor nodded and left the room.

"Do you think we should follow him?" Winged Kuriboh asked, pointing the tip of his wing toward Dr. Yates.

I nodded. "I think we should." So we did.

xXx

"Geez, he can sure move fast," I muttered, shaking my head. "Where did he disappear to?" I looked around for Dr. Yates.

"He was going to Claire's room," Winged Kuriboh said, pulling my hair in the direction Claire's room was.

I nodded. "Oh, right." I turned quickly and began heading down that way, passing through the door when I reached it. "Where's Claire?"

Winged Kuriboh shook his little body. "I dunno."

"Jaden," my mom said, sounding a little off.

I flipped around, ending up in front of her; her eyes were wide and she looked a little pale. "Mom?"

"She can't see you, Jaden; she talking to Dr. Yates," Winged Kuriboh said, pointing at Dr. Yates, who was standing just a few feet away from my mom.

"Relax, Lauren, Jaden's not quite dead yet," Dr. Yates said with a small smile.

I glared at him. "That's not funny."

"Your humor does not amuse me, Dr. Yates," Mom snapped, glaring at him.

"Or me," I grumbled.

Dr. Yates nodded, his smile falling. "Yes, my apologies, Dr. Yuki." He cleared his throat. "Beyond the fact that Jaden is now breathing on his own, nothing has changed." He looked at Mom. "Which is a moot point."

"Why?" Hassleberry asked.

Chazz looked at him. "Because if he doesn't change then he isn't getting better."

I frowned and looked at Winged Kuriboh. "Am I ever going to get better, Winged Kuriboh?"

He just looked sad. "Jaden, I don't have all the answers."

I frowned. "Yeah, sorry."

"It's no trouble," Dr. Yates said, placing his clipboard between his arm and chest. "By the way, how is the investigation going if I may ask?"

I looked back at the group, floating down so I was closer to them. "That's what I'd like to know."

"It's at a standstill for the time being, but I'm hoping it will heat up soon," Dad answered, his arm around Mom.

I frowned. "Winged Kuriboh?"

He flew so he was in front of me. "Yes, Jaden?"

I looked at him. "If the crash was just an accident, why is my dad so dedicated to finding the guy who hit us? It can't be just because he left the scene of the crash."

He frowned. "That's a good question." He looked at my dad, who was talking to Dr. Yates. "I really don't know the answer."

I just frowned and looked away from the adults and at Alexis; she was staring at Dr. Yates from her place on Claire's bed. "Uh oh," I said, realizing what was happening before it happened. I moved closer and, true to my thoughts, her eyes grew dark and she suddenly began to fall backwards.

"Alexis?" Jesse said, catching her.

"Sissy!" Atticus rushed to her side, looking at her panicked. "What's wrong with her?"

Jesse placed Alexis' head in his lap. "Calm down, Atticus."

"Calm down! How can I calm down?" Atticus looked at him.

"Calm down, Sir, and please move," Dr. Yates said, moving to Alexis' side. He pushed some of her hair off her face and placed his hands on her cheeks. "Alexis, can you hear me?"

Alexis didn't respond; her eyes remained dark and distant.

"Lex?" I whispered, moving closer.

"Sissy? Can you hear me?" Atticus asked.

Again, Alexis didn't respond. Instead she twitched slightly, which panicked everyone in the room.

"That did not look licious," Chumley commented from where he was standing.

"Doctor, do something!" Atticus yelled.

I looked away from Atticus and back at Alexis. Jesse had placed his hand on her cheek and took her hand in his. He squeezed her hand and said, "Alexis." Just like that, she suddenly blinked until the darkness in her eyes faded. Jesse smiled down at her. "Welcome back."

"He's got the magic voice," I said in shock, sitting down on (actually, floating above) the bed next to Alexis. Winged Kuriboh laughed softly but didn't say anything.

"Sorry," Alexis said, sitting up with Jesse's help. She started rubbing her temples, eyebrows fretting in slight pain.

Atticus kneeled next to her, asking, "Sissy, what happened?"

Alexis shook her head. "Nothing."

"You had another flash, didn't you?" I asked, even though I knew she couldn't hear me.

"That didn't look like nothing," Axel commented.

Alexis glared at him, crying out and flinching away when Dr. Yates suddenly shined a flashlight in her eye. "It could be trauma," he said, turning her head back by taking a hold of her chin.

I glared at him, my protective instincts kicking in. "Why don't you keep your hands to yourself, Doc?" I snarled.

Winged Kuriboh scratched my cheek lightly. "Easy, Jaden."

I just continued to glare at Dr. Yates, who finally released Alexis' chin and asked, "Can you tell me exactly what happened?"

"Nothing," Alexis said, frowning.

"It's not nothing," Zane said. He looked at Dr. Yates from his chair. "She's done that before."

"Many times," I said, looking back at her to see the betrayal in her eyes as she glared at Zane.

"Then it's possible that there is a much more serious problem here," Dr. Yates said, turning back toward Alexis, taking her chin and looking deep into her eyes; the flashlight returned to his free hand. "I recommend that I take her for a MRI scan, followed by a session with our neurologist Dr. Byrnes."

"No," Alexis muttered. I could see that no one heard her though.

"You truly think that there's something wrong?" Mom asked, looking very concerned.

Dr. Yates nodded, looking at her but keeping a hold of Alexis' chin. "I do."

I glared at him. "Well Alexis doesn't want to go; she says she's fine."

"I think a checkup could be a very good idea," Atticus said, looking at Mom. "Just to be safe."

"I'm fine," Alexis said, but couldn't be heard once again.

"Why don't you guys listen to her?" I yelled, feeling extremely angry at everyone for trying to make decisions for Alexis.

"Well," Mom said slowly, biting her thumbnail.

"You're all overreacting," Jesse and I snapped suddenly as we both slapped Dr. Yates' hand from Alexis' chin. "Alexis said it's nothing, so it's nothing." We glared at Dr. Yates. "Shouldn't you be with Jaden anyway? He is your patient," Jesse said as I said, "Shouldn't you be with me anyway? I am your patient."

I quickly looked at Jesse, completely surprised. "Wait…"

"Whoa, how'd you do that?" Winged Kuriboh asked, looking between us with wide eyes.

I shook my head. "I…I don't know."

Dr. Yates cleared his throat and stood up. "Very true; I shall take my leave then." He looked at Mom. "Just keep an eye on her, I suppose." He shrugged and left the room.

"She's not a baby!" I yelled after him.

"What was that about?" Winged Kuriboh asked.

I frowned. "I don't know. I only know that I didn't like what he was doing."

Winged Kuriboh looked at me. "You mean his job?"

"Shut up," I said, shoving him absentmindedly. He just laughed.

"Wow, Mate, that wasn't like you," Jim said, looking at Jesse.

I frowned and looked back at my teal-haired friend, seeing him rubbing his temples forcefully with his eyes closed. "Yeah, it wasn't."

"It wasn't like you either," Winged Kuriboh said.

I just waved my hand around. "Nah, I can get much more vicious when there's actual danger." I looked at him. "But how was Jesse saying and doing exactly what I was?"

Winged Kuriboh frowned. "Good question, but I don't know the answer."

I just frowned and looked back at Jesse, who muttered, "Yeah, I know. That was weird. I don't know what came over me; I was just suddenly furious with everyone trying to make decisions for Alexis." He frowned and looked at my mom. "I'm sorry, Lauren."

She smiled at him. "Oh, Jesse, there's no reason for you to apologize. You were right." She frowned and looked at Alexis. "But, Sweetie, you can't be passing out like that if it's nothing."

"It really isn't," I said as Alexis answered, "It really is nothing, Lauren."

Alexis could see that my mom, and everyone else in the room, was about to object, so she grabbed Jesse's hand and yanked him off the bed asking, "Hey, Jesse, can I talk to you in private?" She tugged him out of the room without giving him a chance to answer.

I quickly flipped off the bed and followed them, Winged Kuriboh flying after me.

"Um, sure?" Jesse said, looking at her confused. He and Alexis walked until they were standing in an empty waiting room. When they stopped, Alexis kept her back to him, still holding his hand loosely; I stopped till I was standing next to them. "I assume you want to tell me about your flash," Jesse said.

I looked at Alexis, who remained silent. "Wow, she's really shaken up," I whispered.

Winged Kuriboh dropped onto my shoulder. "Really?"

I nodded, moving closer to hear what Alexis was saying because she was speaking quietly.

"I relived the entire crash," she whispered, pausing when she heard Jesse's sharp intake of breath.

I gasped as well, saying, "No wonder you're so shaken up."

"Starting from when the car hit us," Alexis continued. She turned slowly to look at Jesse. "I couldn't feel anything beyond what I felt then; I couldn't hear anything beyond what I heard then; I couldn't see anything beyond what I saw then." She shuddered and wrapped her arms around herself after dropping his arm.

"Oh, Alexis," I whispered, reaching out for her but dropping my arms when I remembered it would do no good.

Looking off to the side, toward me, she continued, "I heard someone, I think Dr. Yates, and then my brother, but I couldn't figure out where their voices were coming from." Her arms tightened. "And then I saw nothing, like I fell unconscious just like before." She began to shake and my heart clenched. "Oh, Jesse, I was so scared; I didn't know what was going on."

I frowned and took a step back, feeling useless as Jesse wrapped his arms around Alexis, holding her tightly.

"It'll be okay, Lex," he murmured into her hair.

Alexis closed her eyes tightly and clutched the back of his shirt, pressing her face into his shoulder. "Why did I suddenly have that flash, Jesse?"

He shook his head, hand absentmindedly rubbing circles on her back. "I don't know."

"Why is this happening to me, Jesse? Why me? Aren't I suffering enough because of Jaden? Do I need to be afraid of these flashes now too?"

My heart squeezed uneasily. "Alexis, I'm so sorry," I whispered, feeling like scum for hurting her the way I am.

Jesse smoothed down her hair. "Alexis, I wish I could tell you everything you want to hear, but I can't; I won't lie to you." He stopped smoothing her hair and simply held her. "But I will tell you that you don't need to be afraid. I'm here for you, okay? You have nothing to fear." He turned his head and lightly kissed her temple, causing her to gasp softly. "Okay?"

Alexis' cheeks turned red, but she nodded slightly, pulling back to smile at him. "Yes, thank you, Jesse."

He smiled at her and lightly kissed her forehead. Alexis turned her head and rested it lightly on his shoulder, relaxing. I watched them, feeling like a peeping tom. Still, something about what the way Jesse and Alexis were standing…it was almost like I saw that same thing before. I just couldn't place my finger on it. I shook my head, and moved closer, standing right next to Jesse. I took a deep breath.

"Jesse," I whispered. "Claire isn't here to tell you how grateful I am to you right now, but for some reason I have the feeling that you already know. But I'm also jealous, because I'd give anything to be where you are right now." I frowned. "But I'm not, so I'm glad you're the one Alexis has turned to." I paused a moment before scarcely whispering, "Thank you."

"Jesse? Alexis?" Claire said.

I spun around to see her standing behind me. She looked better, dressed in normal clothes. She was looking at Jesse and Claire curiously, but not angrily.

"Uh oh," I said, turning to see Alexis staring at Claire with wide eyes, looking terrified.

"I wonder what she's thinking," Winged Kuriboh asked, looking at Alexis.

I shook my head slowly. "I can guess."

"Hey! You're looking better!" Jesse cheered, smiling as he walked over to her.

She nodded, wrapping her arms around his neck as he pulled her to him for a hug. "Yeah. My doctor wants me to walk around and work out my knee."

"She's made a quick recovery," Winged Kuriboh said.

I nodded, smiling softly. "Claire's always been a quick healer."

He pulled back and looked down at her. "So why are you dressed like you're being discharged?"

I gasped and looked at Jesse then at Claire. "Discharged?"

"My choice. I wanted normal cloths, so a nurse brought me the ones Mom packed for me."

"Okay, but will you be discharged?" Jesse asked.

Claire shrugged. "I don't know. We'll have to see what the doc tells Mom." She shook her head slightly. "Anyway, can you do me a favor and go back to my room and tell everyone all those details? My doctor is checking a few things out and I'm supposed to lap the hospital a few times before going back there."

He smiled at her. "Sure, no problem." He leaned down and lightly pecked her on the lips before walking back to her room.

I stared at Claire, who was looking at Alexis. "Discharged?"

"That's a good thing, Jaden." Winged Kuriboh looked at me curiously. "Why do you look sad?"

I just frowned. "Claire is my only link to the real world; if she's discharged then I'll have no way to communicate with them." I looked at him. "Is it selfish of me to want her to stay here?"

He smiled softly at me. "In a way, but I bet you if Claire knew all of that, she'd probably stay just to help you."

I smiled back at him. "Yeah, she would."

"Um, maybe I should go with him," Alexis said.

"Actually, I wanna talk to you," Claire said.

I looked between them. "Awkward," I said slowly, tasting the atmosphere. Winged Kuriboh snickered.

"Okay, listen, Claire, what you saw wasn't what you think it was," Alexis said, keeping her eyes on the ground.

"Alexis," Claire said, but Alexis continued as if she hadn't heard her.

"I know it looked bad, but nothing was going on. I was having a panic attack and Jesse was comforting me; that was it. There's nothing going on between us."

"Alexis," Claire tried again but with the same results.

"Is Claire mad at Alexis?" Winged Kuriboh asked.

I shook my head and looked at Claire. "No, just the opposite; look at her. Claire looks like she's trying not to laugh." Sure enough, Claire's lips were pressed together tightly as she hiccupped with suppressed laughter.

Still, Alexis continued, "I know what you're thinking and what you're feeling but I swear nothing-" Alexis stopped talking when Claire burst out laughing, covering her mouth with one hand as her other arm was wrapped around her stomach, hunched over laughing.

I pointed at Claire. "See? Told you."

"Why are you laughing?" Alexis demanded.

Claire shook her head. "Because of you," she said between laughs.

Alexis frowned. "Me? Why?"

Claire took a few deep breaths and looked up; she was smiling, a small flush on her cheeks with eyes shining. "Alexis, I'm not mad or jealous or anything. I don't think anything about what I saw."

Alexis' eyes narrowed in confusion. "Then why did you want to talk to me?"

"That's a good question," I said, folding my arms across my chest. "For a second, I really did think Claire was jealous."

Claire smiled widely. "Because I wanted to know if you know what that was."

"Didn't I just explain to you what it was?"

"Oh, Alexis," Claire said, sighing. She walked over to Alexis, taking her arm and looping it through her own. "Walk with me."

"Uh oh," I said, following them. "I don't think I'm going to like this."

"Why?" Winged Kuriboh asked, following right by my head.

I frowned. "I don't know, I just don't think I will."

"Alexis, I need you think back to that moment with Jesse and try to remember where you've seen that before," Claire said, looking at Alexis.

Alexis looked at her confused. "What?"

Claire just poked her side. "Think."

I moved so I was in front of them and watched as Alexis' eyebrow fretted with thought. My own mind wondered back to that moment with Jesse and Alexis; my gut coiled uncomfortably, only to intensify when I saw guilt coat Alexis' eyes.

"Lose the guilt, Lex," Claire said, poking her forehead lightly. "I'm not jealous or mad, and when you figure out what I'm getting at you'll understand."

Alexis frowned at her and stopped moving, forcing Claire to stop with her. "Why don't you just explain it to me? Because I don't have a clue what you're talking about."

"I have a feeling I do though," I said slowly.

Winged Kuriboh looked at me. "Really?"

I nodded slowly but kept quiet.

Claire sighed and released Alexis' arm, pinching the bridge of her nose between her thumb and forefinger. She stood like that for a minute before she looked Alexis square in the eye. "You want it straight? No sugar coating?"

Alexis nodded. "That'd be nice."

Claire nodded slightly. "Okay, fine. Here it is: you love Jesse."

"WHAT!" I yelled, flipping around accidently. I had to kick my feet and flail my arms around until I was hovering next to Claire. "What did you say? Did you just seriously say that my girlfriend loves your boyfriend?"

Winged Kuriboh poked me. "Shush, just listen."

"I…what?" Alexis gasped.

Claire just raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to try and deny it?"

I looked at Alexis, seeing that she was opening and closing her mouth, trying to figure out what to say. I realized after a minute, looking into Alexis' eyes, that she wasn't going to deny it, because there was nothing to deny. "She loves Jesse," I whispered.

"I'm not in love with him," Alexis said, looking at Claire.

I smiled softly. "Yeah, I know."

Claire smiled. "I know, Sweetie; I never thought you were."

"But…" Alexis began but stopped, shaking her head and sighing. "You make everything so complicated," she muttered.

I laughed. "That's Claire Sato for you!"

Alexis just smiled softly, chuckling lightly. I looked at her and then at Claire, seeing her smile fall until it was just a soft turn of the lips. "Alexis, the place where you've seen that kind of embrace was Jaden's house last winter when I showed back up."

Alexis' smile disappeared as she looked at Claire confused. "What do you mean?"

I looked at Claire confused as well. "Yeah, what do you mean?"

Claire sighed. "What I mean is the way Jesse was holding you is the exact same way Jaden was holding me." She looked Alexis in the eye. "Alexis, you and Jesse are turning out to be exactly like me and Jaden."

"They are?" I asked.

Claire smacked her forehead, groaning. "Alexis, come on, I'm not going to have to explain this thing step by step am I?" She looked at Alexis. "Okay, this is what I mean: You love Jesse the same way I love Jaden: like a brother."

I slammed my fist on top of my other hand. "That's where I thought I saw that stance before!"

Winged Kuriboh laughed, nuzzling my cheek lightly.

"Okay," Alexis began, still smiling at Claire. "You're right about that, but Jesse and I are not like you and Jaden."

Claire looked confused. "How so?"

Alexis smiled mischievously. "Well, for one thing, we've never dated."

"I should hope so," Claire said at the same time I did.

Alexis giggled softly, shaking her head. Slowly, her smile fell until her face was serious; she looked at Claire. "Claire, are you going to be discharged soon?"

I frowned. "Where'd that come from?"

She shrugged, placing her hands in her jean pockets. "Dunno, but if the doctor asked me if I wanted to go home tonight, I'd probably say no."

Alexis looked at her surprised. "Why?"

I looked at Claire confused as well. "Yeah, why?"

Again, Claire shrugged. "I just have this weird feeling about leaving the hospital. Besides, I heard my doctor mentioning a few things that will probably keep me here a few more nights."

Winged Kuriboh smiled at me. "See? Claire's still open to your feelings."

I just frowned. "Yeah, but is that a good thing?"

"Oh, that's too bad; Jesse looked excited that you might be discharged soon," Alexis said, looking a little relieved.

I frowned. "See? Now my selfish ways are going to hurt my best friend."

Winged Kuriboh frowned at me. "Jaden, you're not being selfish."

"Of course I am! If Claire can be discharged than she should be. I shouldn't be keeping her here."

"Maybe Claire just doesn't want to be discharged; it might not be about you at all." He moved closer to me, nuzzling my cheek. "Don't be so hard on yourself, okay, Jay?"

I sighed and nodded. "Yeah, sure." I turned away from him and started back down the hall toward my room. "Whatever." I knew Kuriboh was still floating back there, but I wanted to back to my room and sort a few things out, beginning with my selfish ways.

xXx

"Jaden, you have visitors," Winged Kuriboh said, scratching my neck lightly to bring me back.

I slowly opened my eyes and turned to look at him. "Who?"

He pointed his wing down. "Look."

So I rolled over and looked, seeing Jim and Axel standing by my bedside. I frowned. "Jim and Axel?" I moved down so I was right in front of them.

"I dunno 'bout you, Mate, but coming here with a good buddy doesn't make this any less difficult," Jim said, tipping his hat back so his one good eye could get a better look at my body.

Axel, who was standing next to Jim, nodded. "I agree."

"You guys don't have to be here if it's difficult," I said.

"Still, coming here alone might be worse," Axel continued, looking at my body.

Jim looked at him. "Care to find out? I can leave."

Axel shook his head. "No; I'd feel uncomfortable then."

Jim just nodded. "Same here." He sighed and rubbed his hand over his mouth. "I'm trying to figure out what we do from here."

I frowned. "You guys don't have to be here. It's not an obligation."

Winged Kuriboh landed on my shoulder. "They know that, Jaden, but they want to be here. Many people do but when they arrive, they don't know what to do."

I frowned and sat up, now sitting in front of them just above my body.

"Yeah, but what do we say?" Jim asked, frowning and looking at my body "We've only known Jaden a few months."

Axel looked at me, more at my body. "I don't know about you, Jim, but it feels like a few years to me."

"Ouch, that hurts, Axel," I said, mock flinching. Winged Kuriboh snickered in my ear.

Jim laughed. "Rightyo, Axel! I completely agree with ya there."

"Double ouch!" I said.

Jim, still smiling, reached up and pulled the tip of his hat down. "Being mates with Jaden is never boring to say the least."

"Glad I keep your lives entertaining," I said, smiling.

Axel nodded. "I agree. But you know what, Jim?"

"What's that, Axel?" Jim asked, looking at him.

"Even after everything that's happened, the bio-bands, the alternate dimension, the Dark World; I wouldn't change anything even if I could."

Jim smiled softly. "I agree with you one hundred percent, Mate."

I looked between the two in shock. "Really? Why?"

Jim looked at me. "And now I know what to say."

Axel looked at him confused. "What's that?"

"Yeah, what?"

"Just be quiet and listen," Winged Kuriboh said.

Jim cleared his throat. "Listen, Jay, if you can hear me I just want you to know that you're one of the best mates I've ever had and to lose you this soon would be unimaginable."

My heart clenched briefly. "Jim," I whispered.

Jim frowned as his good eye darkened; he reached up and lightly touched his bandaged eye. "Back in the Dark World, I tried my damndest to save you from the darkness in your heart because I didn't want to lose you. Nothing's changed, Jay."

I flinched, guilt filling me as I remembered my dark times as the Supreme King.

"Same here, Jaden," Axel cut in. "When Jim left it up to me to save you, I didn't think I could, but in the end I realized that I had to try. Even if I failed, I know I did my best." He placed his hand on the metal railing. "In the end it worked, Jim and I were able to get you back. But this time there's nothing we can do; getting back to yourself is all up to you."

"Guys," I whispered, looking between the two. My throat felt tight, so I had to clear it before I could talk again, but Axel beat me to it.

"So listen good, Jaden. You gotta fight to come back. You're too good of a duelist to quit before you've begun, and you're too good a friend to lose before our friendship has even started," he said.

"Here, here," Jim murmured. "I second what you said, Axel." He looked away from Axel and back at me. "Just keep on trying to find your way back, Jay. You've fought your way out of the darkness before and you can do it again." He reached out and grabbed my hand, giving it a hard squeeze, but I didn't feel it. "We all believe in you, Jay, so wake up and show us that you're not going down yet."

"I had no idea you two felt like that," I whispered, looking between them.

Winged Kuriboh nuzzled my cheek while remaining my shoulder. "Like I said before, people will confess things to people they think can't hear them that they would never say while that same person is awake."

I nodded. "Right, you did." I sighed and watched at Axel and Jim started to leave the room.

Axel stopped near the door and turned to Jim, asking, "What are you thinking, Jim?"

Jim stopped and Axel reached the door, stopping and turning to look at him. "I'm thinking," Jim began, "That Jaden's the best duelist I know, as well as the best friend." He frowned and shook his head lightly. "I just hope that that's enough."

Axel nodded and opened the door. "So are the rest of us."

I frowned after them, watching as Jim pulled the door closed behind him. "Wow, I don't know what to say." I looked down at my hands, clenching and unclenching them. "Winged Kuriboh."

"Yes, Jaden?" He flew to hover in front of my face.

I looked at him. "When Jim clutched my hand, I couldn't feel it." I frowned. "And that made me realize that I haven't been able to feel anyone who's touched me."

He frowned. "It's very complicated to explain why, Jaden, but it's normal for people who are in comas and are like you to not feel when people touch them."

I just continued to frown and looked away, back at my hands. I clenched and unclenched them, thinking back to what Jim and Axel said, about how I was the best friend they've ever had. The feeling that I wasn't doing enough came back full force.

"You guys gave up so much to try and help me, to save me from myself," I whispered. I looked up and at the door. "I just wish I knew what to do now so all you did wouldn't have been a waste of time."

"Jaden, no matter what happens, all they did wouldn't have been a waste of time," Winged Kuriboh said.

I nodded. "Yeah, you're right, but my friends just told me to fight, and I have no intention of letting my best new mates down."

xXx

Wow, I'm done! :D

Okay, well, if you're wondering where Yubel is, I did have her in here but I cut her because she made things really complicated. So now he just has Winged Kuriboh.

But like I said before, this is set just after everyone (including Jaden) return from the Dark World.

Anyway, review! :)

PS: Jaden was never stuck in the Dark World; so you can forget the stupid way 4Kids ended GX.
