Hi all. Here is the 4th part of The Prince Who Married A Frog (or digimon), Jyou's turn... Jyou's Kiss...
Before you start reading the fic, I have a few things to say. First, I posted the sequel to Changing Appearance (The fic I made of Kyra (Ascot no Miko) and ~Lys~ weird couple contest), and I'm just saying it's posted. If you like this fic then maybe you'll like that one 'cuz it has the same humour in it. The title of the fic is called Trought the Turmoil.
Second thing, I think I have an author's block for 180°Change, so for those who read it, it might take a bit of time before the 3rd part is posted. If I try working on it now it will turn into something really bad...
And the last announcement, I have a web page. There are still some sections under construction and all, but I would really like for some of you to go and see it. I also would like it if some of you could submit some things for it... It seems so empty... My web page is going to cry... (I'm sure Loconik Digi too because not a lot of people went to see his shrine ^_^) (Loconik Digi: Heathen scum..they'll all pay… :| J) So please come and see it after reading my fic, the address is at the end. (But don't go before reviewing me)
Well that's all I have to say I think... Oh, yeah, Yaoi Warning for this chapter. So Yaoi warning!
Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The blue haired prince watched as the town ladies split into two groups and ran after his brother. You don't see that everyday...
'Poor brothers...' Jyou thought as he watched them escape from the rampaging girls, but strangely, he couldn't stop envying them. They had everything. A nice body, good at sports, tons of girls chasing after them, and that wasn't even in a figurative way of speaking. They had tons of girls running after them! What luck they had. The prince started to walk away throwing some comments away. His younger brother had called after him asking if he wanted to know how the girls knew about the challenge. Jyou simply replied to him that it must been because of one of the posters and had headed towards the field.
Those stupid posters... He had already seen them. As some servants were putting them on the walls, one flew into is window. Before he was upset, mad, and furious that his father would do such a thing. But then he thought about it. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea... He never had much time to get out of the castle because his constant studies stopped him. So maybe the contest was a good idea, He decided not to tell his brothers about it, because he was sure that they would have said or done something to stop the challenge. Jyou didn't want that. In a way, he wanted to get married. His father and brothers where always quick to judge him but if he got a faithful wife by his side he would be more confident and all...
But his plan didn't quite work that well.... None of the girls in the village wanted to marry him. That was just great! And that was exactly what he said.
Jyou walked until arrived at the field. The field was pretty big; it stretched itself to the wall of the kingdom. He saw a couple of workers tending the field, but other then that, it was pretty empty. Perfect for someone who wanted to be alone in though.
Sadly, Jyou didn't have much to think about. What could he do? He couldn't go and try to find someone to kiss, he had to be kissed, not the other way around. But he was doubtful that he'd ever get kissed... All the women left him for his brothers... Life was unfair sometimes.
"Besides, if I could kiss anybody to make them my wife, who should I choose?" The prince mused out loud. "The only girls I know are the servant girls who work in the castle, but if I ever marry one of them, father would surely be disappointed in... Like he isn't already..." Jyou continued his march through the field. "Maybe if I married someone important like... Like lady Mimi...Yeah, that could work....I've talked to her a couple times at those balls she throws (Loconik Digi: Get the joke?). She seemed nice and sincere... Maybe she'll want to kiss me.." Jyou said dreamily as he thought about the lady of the neighbouring kingdom, how marvellous would it feel to feel her lips on his...
Then, he remembered, how could he forgot? The news made its way to his kingdom in a flash. The lady preferred other ladies... Life really wasn't fair. The only person he thought he could maybe live his life with happened to like girls.
Jyou sighed at the thought. He seemed as if the gods didn't like him and wanted to make him suffer before he left the mortal coil. Life was totally unfair. No wait, life sucked! Life wasn't unfair, it just plainly, simply sucked.
"Yeah life really does suck!" The prince kicked a rock as hard as he could to let out some frustration. He watched it as it flew through the air a bit and descended directly on...
...the head of a sleeping person. Jyou immediately felt bad and rushed over to the person who was rubbing his head. "Hey, sorry man. I didn't see you. Hope you're okay..."
The person was a young boy about a year or two younger then the prince, with fiery red hair and deep black eyes which were looking around to try and find the person who was talking. "Who said that?" He asked in front of Jyou even thought his eyes were wide open.
"Humm... I did.." Jyou waved his hand in front of the boy's eyes.
"Where are you?... I can't see anything..." The boy panicked. "Why can't I see anything? It's all dark..."
'Oh no... the rock must of hit the vision part of his brain, oh no, oh no, oh no..' The prince panicked at his turn.
"Hello? Are you still there?" The redhead asked, stretching his hand out trying to get a hold of something. Having your eyes open and only seeing black is scary for anyone.
"I'm here." Jyou knelt down and took the other boys hand into his. The boy grabbed his hand hard and pulled on it, almost tearing it from his socket. "Calm down now... Everything is going to be okay..." The prince tried to soothe the young boy pulling his arm with an iron grip.
"Why do you say everything is going to be okay? One minute ago I could see, now I'm blind!! " The boy yelled.
"Look, I'm sorry for what happened... It's all my fault. I kicked a rock and it hit you on the head. Your sight was knocked out, but it will probably come back. " Jyou explained.
"Oh, and how am I going to get back home?" The boy queried. The prince was about to reply but the boy cut him off. "Maybe you could take me there while I show you the way... But wait, HOW CAN I SHOW YOU THE WAY WHEN I'M BLIND!!" The blind one asked.
"I... I... Said that I was sorry..." Jyou tried to reason feeling really guilty for what happened. "I don't know what to do or what to say... I .. I.. I' m sorry. Really sorry. I didn't mean too..." The prince said sincerely cringing back in shame. The other boy took notice of his voice and, he too felt a bit bad.
"I'm sorry if I'm being mean. I'm just scared, that's all" The boy devoid of sight explained. "Let me present myself. My name is Koushiro."
"Mine is Jyou."
"Jyou? ... Jyou... Why is that name familiar? I know I heard it once before.." He must have heard it when someone was speaking about the princes, but since Jyou is like the forgotten prince, that name is just a distant memory. Jyou sighed. He was always the one left behind wasn't he?
"What's wrong?" Koushiro asked
"Nothing is wrong." The prince lied.
"Then why did you sigh?"
"I felt like sighing. Don't I have that right?"
"Of course you do, but usually people sigh when thers something wrong, and it seems as if we are going to be here for a while because I sense your not one to leave somebody in need, so you better tell me what's wrong or else we'll never get a good conversation started." Koushiro reasoned.
"Well ... hum.." Jyou didn't want to let the boy know who he was. For the first time of his life someone wanted to know what was bothering Jyou and not the prince. It seemed to raise the blue haired ones spirits a bit, enough to maybe explain his situation, without letting on who he was... "People think I don't exist."
"Why do you say that? You are here with me, meaning that you exist, unless that rock hit me so hard I'm imagining, but then who would have thrown the rock in the first place?" Jyou shook his head even thought it was useless because the other boy couldn't see him.
"It's not what I mean. People don't think much of me and decide everything I should do. "
"And that bothers you a lot?"
"Well yes, wouldn't it bother you?" Koushiro thought upon those words and nodded.
"Guess it would, but why don't you do something about it then? Maybe if you do, people won't push you around."
"And how do you suppose I do that? By confronting people?" The prince questioned.
"Yeah, why not. It would be a good method. " Jyou snorted. He had to be kidding. Jyou confronting people. People like that have guts, and courage, and that really wasn't his domain.
"Me confront people? I'm sorry but I'm a wuss. I run away at each chance I get."
"No you don't" Koushiro told him. How can a stranger say that? They hardly knew each other and here he was contradicting him already. "If you did then when you saw the rock hit me you would have run away, I know a lot of people who would have. Instead you came over and saw if I was all right. And still now, even thought I can't see you, you stayed instead of leaving me out here alone. Who knows what person could take advantage of a blind guy, and yet you stayed. Took some guts if you asked me. Don't you think?" The red head asked. He waited for an answer....
...But it never came....
Did Jyou leave? That would explain the silence... And here he was talking about how nice and courageous he was by staying and he's not there anymore. Koushiro was upset that he didn't answer, but he found it curious that he would just leave like that so he decided to call out to him. "Jyou are you there?" Koushiro waved his hand around, just like before to catch hold of something, but found nothing. Can't be true. Jyou didn't leave him did he? No it couldn't be possible. The red head got up from the ground and awkwardly started to walk. It was hard when you couldn't see anything. He couldn't believe Jyou left!
And he was right being that way because Jyou isn't one to leave someone in need. Jyou didn't even move from his position from the start of the conversation. The fact was that he was in deep thought about what Koushiro said. He had closed his eyes and pondered the things he said so he didn't notice when the red head waved his hand nor when he got up. The only thing that snapped out of his thoughts was a loud cry for help from the person he was talking to.
The prince stood up in a jump and looked to the place where the blind one was and noticed he wasn't there anymore. "Oh no..." He heard again the cry for help and ran towards the direction till he found Koushiro. But he wasn't alone... Oh no... There were three others and they were all picking on the blind one, pushing and calling him names...
"Stupid bastard!" A child of the same age as the red head called. He had jet-black hair in messy hair tangle. Almost as if a bird had made a nest in it. (A/N: For those who read my series, it's Ruhiro... He sure loves to pick on Izzy doesn't he?) The boy came up to Koushiro and gave him a shove, but Koushiro didn't fall because another person was there. A girl with blond hair and blue eyes. Her hair seemed as much messed up as the boys, but strangely well kept.... (A/N:... That's Mayota Daishi with a lot of out-of-character ness... girl version of Matt... Sorry I'm bad at inventing characters, so I take some already made...)
"Yeah you bastard! If it wasn't for you your parents would still be alive and you wouldn't be a bother to the Izumi's!" She called pushing him this time to the ground. Finally the third person came up to him. It was an elderly woman in her mid-fifties. She bent down to fallen boy, who was trying, but in vain, to hide his tears, looking at him with her huge glasses. (A/N:...... Mrs. Mercier...that was Izzy's fourth grade teacher....*sigh* never mind)
"Yes bastard in deed...If you hadn't caught that cold when you were younger, your true parents wouldn't have rushed to the village in that cart, killing them! Their death is all your fault!" The red head was now crying at open flow as the three people watched in vicious, leering spite. Luckily one person didn't like what they saw. How can people be so mean? Couldn't they see that that boy was already suffering? Did they really have to turn the knife in wound?
Jyou rushed over to those people, fury in each step he took. The other looked at him questionelly... Why would they be scared of that skinny teenager? By the time he got to them he'd probably have an asthma attack, or something... The prince placed himself in front of the boys assailants.
"I order you to stop!" He commanded.
"You order..." the girl started.
"Us to stop?" The boy continued her phrase
"Who are you to tell us what to do?" The old lady asked. "I only see a pathetic being trying to protect a stupid bastard!"
"Yeah, a pathetic little being!" The blond girl repeated what the lady said. That was a kid that respected her elders... But was that a good thing?
"I should teach a lesson!" The black haired one stated, moving forward on him at a really fast pace. His fist was already in a ball and he hit the glasses wearing teen straight in the face, giving him a split lip. The younger boy took another shot at Jyou, but this time missed because the prince grabbed his arm in lightning reflex and twisted it around and brought the boy to his knees. Taking the advantage, Jyou stroked the boy in the face making him back away. Hey, sometimes being a prince is a good thing because of the forced fighting classes. Plus with his younger brothers, Ken and Iori, who specialized in one area, he had a good base in theory and practice.
"I guess I'm the one who taught you something, " Jyou said to the boy. The girl and the woman backed away from him. "But I think that class is dismissed, you can leave now..." The trio didn't need to be told twice. They took their legs to their necks and left in a hurry. After making sure they were gone, he turned to Koushiro and knelt down to him. "Are you okay? " He questioned.
Koushiro nodded. "But you aren't... You're bleeding...." The boy stated. Jyou shook his head.
"Don't worry about m-- Wait, can you see now?" The prince asked waving his hand in front of Koushiro's eyes. The black orbs that are Koushiro's eyes, followed his hands motion, then looked at Jyou and smiled.
"Yeah, I can see now!" Koushiro said extremely happy, but calmed himself down looking at Jyou. "I should really do something about that wound of yours..."
"Like I said, don't--"
"Worry about you? Sorry, I already am. Besides, I have to return the favour, you saved me from those people didn't you? I can't believe you say you're not courageous..." Koushiro said finding some new quality in the other boy, making him more confident.
"It was nothing..." 'Modest too.. 'Koushiro thought.
"Nothing or not, it still was something." The younger one said. Now, what to do about that bleeding lip? Koushiro thought back to when he was younger, when his true mother was alive and not his aunt, the things she would do to console him, to heal him. A small grin worked itself onto his face. He could do that..." Jyou could you close your eyes please?" The blue haired one frowned, but did what he was told. "This is a little thing my mother would do when I got hurt..."
The younger boy leaned forward to the other boy and pressed his lips on Jyou's. The prince didn't know what to do! Was he Kissing him? What should he do? Jyou thought of pulling away, but it did feel kind of nice... Plus it might insult Koushiro, and he didn't want that... Koushiro was so different from the other people he would be with, he didn't know what, but it was just something about that boy that made him irresistible.
Finally their lips parted, and Jyou opened his eyes to see Koushiro blushing almost the same colour as his hair. " I--, I-- hope that made you feel a bit better..." The boy stammered. Jyou was about to reply when out of nowhere he saw someone with brown-purplelish hair run right past them in a rush screaming. :
"GOT TO GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER AND THAT CRAZY PRINCE WHO WANTS TO MARRY ME!!!" Both boys watched him go out of view, but two other figures ran into view.
"DAISUKE COME BACK HERE! WE HAVE TO PREPARE YOUR MARRIAGE!!" A spiky haired girl said as she ran after the boy. Just behind her was none other then one of younger princes, Ken. He was running slower then the other two. He was sure that Jun was able to handle her brother on her own. Seeing his brother with another person he decided to come and see him and maybe get a bit of rest.
"Got to chase a love, ne brother?" Ken asked. He looked towards Koushiro and pointed to him. "Ahh.. I see you found one..." Koushiro frowned his eyebrows.
"Found what? And what do you mean by 'brother'?" The frowning one demanded trying to put two plus two together.
"Found someone to marry of course, and that is my brother. " Koushiro finally added the facts. The boy who was running earlier said something about not wanting to marry a prince, and he supposed that Ken was the one that he is going to get married to making him a prince, and if Jyou is his brother that means that he is a prince as well... Now Koushiro remembered why that name was familiar, he saw it on one of the posters about that challenge from the king!
The challenge! Oh no, Koushiro kissed the prince that means that he has to marry him... That was... That was... He didn't even know if it was good or bad! Looking at Jyou carefully. His hair, his eyes, his body, everything, Koushiro thought that it might not be that bad, besides from the little while he knew Jyou he seemed like a reliable partner to be with his rest of life... It might not be that bad...
"Well I have to go and gain my Dai-Chan now. See ya at the castle Jyou, and I'm guessing I'll see you at the marriage brother-in-law!" Ken exclaimed re-starting his race after his Dai-Chan. Koushiro looked over to Jyou who was blushing... Did that mean that Jyou would want to marry him? Strangely, hope formed in the younger boy.
Jyou stood up from his sitting position and turned from the other one. Koushiro looked at him. Where was he going? The redhead decided to ask that question.
"Jy-- Euh.. I mean, Prince Jyou..." the uncertain one started. "Where are you going?"
"To the castle, now are you going to stay there or do I have to carry you?" Jyou said with a smirk in his voice. Koushiro smiled in joy and hastily got up and joined his fiancé. "You know now you don't have to call me Prince anymore..." The prince said to the one walking next to him.
"I'm going to kept calling you prince unless you carry me like you said you would." Koushiro stated crossing his arms on his chest and stopping in his walk. Jyou stopped as well and blinked once, twice and a third time and sighed afterwards. But then a mischievous grin crept onto his face. Yeah, he'll carry him... He took Koushiro by the waist and swung him over his shoulder like a bag.
"Hey, I didn't want to be carried like that!" Koushiro growled....
And so another prince found happiness...Yamato haves Taichi, Ken has Daisuke... Or at least will once he gets his hands on a nice piece of mea.... euh hum... Once Daisuke finds out that there is no means of escaping... euh... Once Ken holds him down...I think that one is okay... Anyways, and Jyou has Koushiro... But ever wondered what happened to little Iori, or Cody as he prefered to be called, who went out of the kingdom's walls where the king himself said that no one should go out for fear of becoming Digimon food.
What happened to him? Well let's go and see.....
