hey heartbreakerninja here! hope your enjoying the story as much as i am writing it.
EmbyrEye asked if i was updating these at midnight. close more like 2 or 3 am in the morning. i work from 2pm to 11pm most nights so i usually dont have a lot of time during the day to update. [cause im usually sleeping] this is also usually the only time i get to write my story's as well :(. i guess its a good thing im a night owl.
anyway i dont have any chapters done after this one [NOOOOOO *CRIES*] so unless i get a brain spark or my favorite caffeinated soda appears in the fridge it will be awhile before the next chapter is up [probably a week or 2] but hey anything is possible so i could be up faster. im actually surprised i got thsi and the last chapter done as fast as i did.
anyway heres the next chapter hope you enjoy it :)
P.S. if you have any questions feel free to ask i love answering
i'd also like to say thank you to: JudaiLover74, EmbyrEye, Darkmiror, Havoc's-Tears, NinjaJudai19, DMA-Yoru, Krytalanimeheart, Yukira Mirabelle, and Shadow Infinity Phoenix for reviewing my story! thanks guys i always look forward to your reviews they make my day :)
*still flash back*
"W-What?" Jaden said as he looked up at Jesse with a look that was a mix of shock and confusion; his calm mask gone in the moment of shock.
"You heard me; show me what you see in the mirrors. How am I supposed to understand if you won't let me help you?" Jesse asked loudly, his voice echoing around the dark space off of unseen walls.
"Jesse, you don't know what you're asking." Jaden sighed looking back at the mirrors. The cliché of that saying was irritating Jesse to no end.
Jesse rolled his eyes as he started over to where Jaden was standing. Jaden didn't seem to even notice that Jesse was heading in his direction. Till he grabbed his shoulders and in a very comical cartoon kind of way started shaking Jaden.
"Will you listen to yourself? Wake up Jaden!" Jesse said before he let go of a stunned Jaden. "Jaden I'm your friend; I think of you as my own brother but this is getting out of hand with you pushing everyone out.
If only he'd listen to me a little more maybe this whole mess wouldn't have happened in the first place or at least wouldn't have been as bad. Jesse thought as he thought back to that time in Jaden's mind.
Jaden looked up at Jesse before he turned back to the mirrors. Jaden's eyes turned the bicolor of gold and green before he looked back at Jesse with a grim look. Jesse was wondering what was going on till he started to hear cries of anger, fear, and sadness. It startled him at first till he looked at the mirrors and could see what was going on in them. No longer were they the intangible shadows and unheard voices but actual people and places from Jaden's past. What Jesse saw scared and shocked him but he made sure not to show it to much; adopting the calm mask that was usually in place on Jaden's own face. It was hard but Jesse tried to remain calm throughout the whole thing. It wasn't easy.
He saw villages burn, children and parents running and screaming only to be hit by a blast or sword and turned into light before being sent to the stars. He saw warriors bravely trying to hold back Haou's evil hero's only to fall in the process, leaving the people they tried to protect to fend off the attack and fall as well. He saw duelist forced to duel against the supreme king and his many minions only to lose and disappear into the stars. He saw a few of the duelist win against the king's minions only to be defeated by Haou himself. His evil laughter and acts chilled Jesse to the bone.
Then the mirrors shifted to people from Jaden's past and present. Each saying something different, the mirror twisting their words to sound a lot different then they originally were intended to be; and then some being just as they were said.
Jesse couldn't look any more but he couldn't look away either. The mirrors had him hypnotized by what they held.
Then a small cry pulled him from the mirrors. It came from a corner behind him. He turned to see Jaden as he had looked last year. He looked behind him to still see the present Jaden watching him. Evaluating Jesse's reaction to what he was seeing. Jesse turned back to the scene of the past Jaden shaking in the corner. What Jesse saw was just as Jim had seen almost a month ago when he was trying to save Jaden from Haou's power. Jaden even included Jim coming in with Axel trying to get Jaden to listen to him. It was as if Jesse was seeing a movie done on that particular memory. Soon the scene came to an end with the mirrors fading back to the unheard shadows that Jesse couldn't hear.
Jesse looked back at Jaden who looked at him sadly.
"Now you know what happened." Jaden said and with that returned them back to the roof. There Jesse had to wait for Jaden to wake up. Neos told him that using that kind of power drained him and he had to sleep it off. So Jesse sat there for a long time watching Jaden as he slept. Neos stayed saying that it was his duty to make sure Jaden woke up safely when Jesse asked him about it. When Jaden finally did wake up he had his calm mask back into place. Only this time it wasn't as tightly held in place. Jesse could see the sadness still in Jaden's eyes.
The soon headed back towards the road that led to the red dorm, Jesse not wanted to let Jaden out of his sight. He was still worried about Jaden, though now he had a better understanding on why Jaden acted as he did.
"Don't worry Jesse I promise I won't keep too much to myself anymore. I don't like worrying other people that much." Jaden said as he took off towards the red dorm. Jesse watched him head off before turning and heading towards the blue dorm. He was glad Jaden wasn't going to keep stuff to himself anymore and that Jaden trusted him enough to show him what was still haunting him.
Now if only he could get Jaden to understand that not all of it was his fault. Jesse know that was going to take some doing but he also knew he wasn't going to give up on this friend.
Too bad Jaden didn't keep his word about not keeping all his burdens to himself.
