The Darkness World…

"Enough for this day… We will continue tomorrow…" Jesse rides his advanced Pegasus, and dismissed his soldiers. The king came home riding his horse, with some monsters behind. When they arrived on the castle's gate, the monsters went back to their post.

It's night already. The kingdom was brightened because of the lights from the villager's houses, and from the castle. One of the castle's windows, Jaden leaned her hands on the veranda's fence. Her eyes were looking for someone down there.
Jaden saw Jesse ride his Pegasus from the gate to the stable, back from training with his soldiers. The girl's eyes gleamed with joy. She ran carefully from top of the castle to meet her dearest king.

In the stable, Jesse lit some candles to make the Pegasus's place brighter. He gave his Pegasus some carrots and water. The blunette patted Pegasus's neck, and lay down on the haystack.

The training wasn't too long, but it was really make him tired. Jesse felt his eyes gotten heavy, and he let his eyes close slowly. Suddenly, he feels someone was there, and near him so close. But there's no dangerous aura from the person. Jesse still has his eyes closed.

'Is that Jaden…?' thought him.

When Jesse opened his eyes, he saw a pair of big golden eyes stared at him… so close, right in front of his orange eyes. Jesse jerked out from his rest. The only one person who has a pair of golden eyes he knows was only Jaden. But this time a green haired little boy was stared at the teen with his golden eyes.

"Wha? Who? Who are you…?" Jesse didn't know what to say. But as he remembers, he never sees that kid on the kingdom area. The little boy just blinking his eyes and keep stared at the older guy.

Suddenly he heard the Pegasus whinnying. A little girl with a pair of orange eyes, just like his, was patting the horse head softly. The winged horse looks so tame when the girl patted it. It never tame to other people, except Jesse.
But that's not what made him surprised. There are kids on the stable! And Jesse doesn't have any idea at all who are those kids! But at least, he can tell the kids are twins…
"Yo, kids… who are you? Where are your parents?" Jesse asked the kids, but he still confused.
While he rubbed his head, suddenly the little boy tackled him fell to the haystack.
"HEY! WHAT THE…?"

"DADDY!"

Jesse fell silent in an instant. He pushed him off roughly, but still his hands on the boy's shoulder.
"What… did you just call me…?" the boy didn't care at all at Jesse's confused face and his harsh tone.
"Daddy!" the boy keeps calling him like that, and hugged him again. Jesse doesn't know what to do, what to think, and what to say at all…. Now he has his attention to the little girl… who already clinging on his right hand.
"Daddy …"
The king stuttered with the kids still clinging on him. "Wh, wha….! I…! You…! Wai…!"

"Jesse…? Where are you?" Jaden's voice was heard closer to the stable. The queen came to Jesse's Pegasus stable.
"Oh, there you are…" the smile on the queen's face gone fast when she saw Jesse was sat on the haystack with the twins on his lap, hugging him.

"Jesse…? I never know you're good with kids…" asked Jaden with her eyebrow raised.
"NO! THIS ISN'T LIKE WHAT YOU THINK!" The kids stared at Jaden. "I have no idea at all who are these brats! I swear!" The king tried to push the little boy off. But he was too stubborn to stick on his 'Daddy'.

Jaden giggled as she saw Jesse looked so confused with the kids around him. But she surprised when the little girl came closer to her and calling her… "Mommy…!"
"E, eh?"
"Mommy …" she clinging on Jaden's waist.
"Oh, no dear…! I'm not you're…!" before the queen had her sentences complete, the little boy hugged her little bit rough. "MOMMY!"

Now the queen fell silent with the twins clinging lovingly on her. And Jesse… still sat on the haystack with a really shocked face.

Back to Johan and the kids…

All the Obelisk students having dinner on their dorm's dining hall. Lua and Luca were amazed. The foods look so delicious. Both of them sat on Johan's both sides. He looks so enjoying the dinner with his 'children'.
"He's a good daddy…" said Fubuki. Ryou and Fujiwara agreed.

After dinner, Johan brought them to his room. Lua and Luca were amazed once more, with Johan's room. He is one of the best students from DA, so he got VIP room. Even Amber Mammoth can lie down on the floor.

"Bed!" Lua dropped himself on the bed. Luca's hugging the soft pillow. Both of them giggled in joy. The gem beasts smile at the twins; they admitted how cute the kids are. Since their first meeting, Lua and Luca were never separate from their 'daddy'. Johan joining the twins on the bed, he lies down between the twins. Lua hugged Johan's neck, and Luca leaned her head on Johan's shoulder.

Suddenly Luca asked softly. "How is mommy…?"
Johan glanced to the girl, and smile. He pulled out his PDA from his pocket. "Let see her…"
The twins were getting excited when the PDA on a dial mode. Suddenly, Judai's face was shown on the screen.
"Hi, guys…!" she smile when she saw Johan and the twins lied down together on Johan's bed.
Lua and Luca yelped in joy. "Mommy!"
Judai was still not used to be called like that. Her face was blushing again, but she keeps her smile on her cute face.
"Hey, Juu…! How's your duty…? Is it done?" asked Johan.
"Yes… We'd just finished it about an hour ago…"
When Judai leaned back on her bed, the trio could see her was already on a night dress.

"Mom, will you go with us on tour tomorrow?"
"Yeah! Daddy will take us to the Academy after school…!"
"Of course…! I'd love to…!"
The twins were cheering and hugging their dad. "Okay… You need rest tonight… You must be so tired, Ju-chan…"
"I'll see you tomorrow, Jo-kun…" Judai smile back to her boyfriend.
"Goodnight…"
"Goodnight, mommy!" the twins added.
Judai giggled, she feels so weird yet amused when the twins called her 'mommy'.
"Goodnight…!"
Johan placed his PDA on his desk. He got up and stretched his body. "Nggghhh…! Okay, kids… There's the bathroom…" but when the teen turned around, he founds the twins already sleep peacefully. Johan raised his eyebrow and smile.
"Well, they're must be so tired…" He covered the twins with blanket gently. He was smiling when he saw Lua was smiling on his sleep. Ruby crawled to Luca. The little girl's hand automatically hugged the feline. Ruby was fast asleep in between the twins. Johan changed his pajamas. He lay down gently near the twins, tried not to wake them up.

Darkness World…

"You must be kidding…"
"No, I'm not…"
"But, Jaden…! How did you let them in the castle…? Let them eat here? And sleep… HERE?"
"Have you no heart?" Jaden looked at her king who sat facing her in disbelieves. The twins sat between their sides, eating their dinner.
Jesse grumbled, while Jaden continued her supper. He glanced to the little boy, who sat on his right side. He looks starving, and he ate like a horse, at least that's what Jesse's thought. While the girl sat on his left side, she ate her supper so slowly.

"Hey, kid…" the boy raised his head when Jesse called him. "What's your name?"
"Leo!" said the boy cheerfully. "And you, girl?"
Jesse didn't realize he'd just use a little bit harsh tone and make the girl surprised. The girl whimpered and hid half of her face behind the table. "What…? Hey, I just asking your name…?" Jesse's tone got higher, and the girl got more scared, she jumped from her seat and ran to behind Jaden's seat, trembling. "Jesse…! Don't scare her…!"
"What?I, I just…! Wh….! Th, this is my way to talk…!" The blunette stood up in confused. He even didn't mean to scare the green haired girl. Jaden sighed and gently make the little girl back to her seat.
"It's okay, dear… He's a nice guy… He just tired after trained his soldier…"
Jesse sighed. He never thought about his tone when he talks. But now, he met a little girl, who get scare easier when he talked to her.
"What's your name, dear…?" asked Jaden. She stroked the little girl's hair.
"Luna…" a word came from the girl's mouth, almost heard like a whisper. Jaden smile and patted her head gently. "What a lovely name…"

"Yo, boy… Where's your parents?" asked Jesse again. The boy was just looking at him with mouthful. He swallowed the food on his mouth. "Daddy!" he pointed to Jesse. Of course the man gawked. He grumbled and ruffled his hair frustrated. "I told youuuu… I… AM… NOT… YOUR… DAD…!" He gritted his teeth, faced the boy so close. But the boy jumped from his seat and hugged Jesse tightly with joy. "Daddy!"
"You're stupid… stubborn… or what?" the man sighed hopelessly. He pushed the little boy, but he stick to him again, so Jesse gave up. He sighed again with the little boy still stick on his stomach. He walked to Jaden's seat. "What you gonna do? Let them like this…?"

Jaden stopped her supper and sighed again. "Come on… maybe they're orphan…? We can't let them sleep in the stable, Jesse… Besides… he really loves you, isn't he…?" Jaden gazed at the boy who still sticking on Jesse lovingly. She smiles and patted the little boy head. He looked at Jaden and jumped to her. Jaden shocked a little but hurriedly laugh with the boy. "Mommy!"
Now the little girl looked at her brother and came closer to the queen, clinging on her.

Jesse fell silent when he saw his queen hugging the kids like her own children. He rubbed his head with a tired sigh.
"Tch! Woman…, I can't believe this…"

The little girl looked at the King in silent. She walked slowly to him, and reached the man's black shirt.
"Daddy looks shorter than usual…"
Jesse a little bit surprised at the girl's comment. "What? What do you mean…?" He kneeled down and tried to use a soft tone this time. "Mommy too…" Jesse looked at the girl confusedly.
"Wait… let me asked you something… How did you come in here…? There so many guardians out there and you kids could come in to this castle easily without they realized at all…" Jesse looked deep into the girl's eyes. Make sure she isn't lying to him. "Because we life here…" Jesse's gone more confused. But the pair of orange eyes of the girl wasn't show she was lie. Jaden was confused too, but she didn't say anything.

"Well, actually the castle was a little bit different than usual… it looks darker…"
Jesse gawked again at the little boy. "So you can speak…? I thought you just can say 'Daddy'…" said Jesse sarcastically. But the boy just grinned. "Like Luna said… Mommy and Daddy look shorter than usual…" The boy climbed down from Jaden's hug. Now he faced Jesse who still kneeling.
"Wh…? What did you mean…? Look kids… we're not your parents… we're not married… yet…!"
Jaden blushed, when Jesse grinned at her.

"B, but…" the little girl whimpered again, but this time she tried to encourage herself to speak to Jesse, who has a really cold sight to her.
"B, but…, Mommy …and … Daddy…" Jesse sweat dropped when the girl's eyes begin to tear up.
Jaden hurriedly embraced the little girl and stroked her hair. "Sssshhh… it's okay"
Jesse shook his head in desperate.

"Hmmm… maybe those light make your memory in trouble…"
The boy's sentences make Jesse confused again. "What… light?" asked him.
"Luna and I were playing near the stable… Suddenly a really bright light covered us, and suddenly… the castle changed a little! And suddenly, the sky changed bright into dark…! And suddenly, you came with 'Advanced Sapphire Pegasus'! And suddenly…!" Jesse tried to stop him before the kid's explanation gets longer.
"Wow, wow! Stop…! How did you know about Pegasus…? No one knows about Pegasus's long name…!"
"Well, you're the one who told me… And you always let me to help you feed him… Besides, you're the only one 'Advanced Gem Beasts Master'… Daddy…"
"Wha, what…?" Jesse stood up. He never tells anybody about the Beasts name. Because only the members of the kingdom who knew about the beast's names.

Jaden stood and comforting the confused king. She patted Jesse's shoulder.
"Why don't we have a rest…? I'll show your room, kids…" Jaden and the twins walked up to the castle's room.
Jesse walked to the throne hall. He lies down on his throne with his legs on the throne-handle.
"What the hell…?" He rubbed his face desperately.
"I hate kids…"

TBC...^^

I will always use 'Lua' and 'Luca' instead of 'Rua' and 'Ruka' as the twins names. Since the anime showed their original names like that (I kinda forgot which episode, but there was written in the screenshot, when Jack saw the twins data...).
