Chapter 1: How Ky Found Jam
* * * * *
It's been 3 days since Ky found Jam lying in the forest.
~~Flashback~~
"Sol!! Where are you?!"
Ky was yelling Sol's name throughout the forest. Recently, he had beaten Ky in a match. Ky sought for a rematch with Sol.
"The coward! He"s only avoiding me because he"s afraid of losing!"
He felt both anger and self-hatred course through his veins. Anger, because Sol was avoiding him, and self-hatred, because he beat Ky in an embarrassing way.
"Peculiar..."
That's when Ky spotted Jam on the ground. Her clothes were tattered, her hair a mess, and she had several bruises and wounds.
"Jam? Jam!!"
Ky rushed over to her side trying to awaken her, but to no avail. She was losing a lot of blood. So, he tore off a large strip of fabric off of his garment, and wrapped it around Jam to keep the large wound on her stomach from bleeding. Ky scooped her up into his arms and carried her to his mansion.
~~ End Flashback~~
Ky was lucky to have found Jam, or else, she would've died. That'd be the LAST thing he'd want happen.
Jam stirred in her sleep. "Ohhh...ugh...(sigh)"
Ky was surprised, because she suddenly calmed down when he rested his hand on her cheek. She finally awakened.
"Unh...Ky?"
Ky was so relieved. "Good. You're awake. I was worried about you."
"Where am I?" Ky could tell she was confused.
"You're in my mansion. I found you in the forest. 3 days ago."
"I...was in the forest...?"
Ky giggled. "I just said that."
"Oh." Jam giggled also. "Thank you, Ky."
Ky ran down to the kitchen, and came back to the room with a tray. There was a teacup on it.
"Here. I made you some tea.", Ky stated, as he placed the tray down on the desk next to Jam's bed.
"Wow. Thanks, Ky.", Jam said happily.
A maid walked into the room with the clothes Jam wore in the forest, knitted brand new. Jam was surprised to see that she was wearing new clothes. Did he undress me himself!? Jam said to herself. She blushed at the thought.
The maid stated, "I've taken the liberty of fitting you with new garments, as per Master Ky's instructions."
Jam was relieved. Thank goodness, she said to herself.
Ky said to Jam, in a soft tone, "I really care about your safety, Jam, so, it's best if you stay in bed, okay?"
Jam replied, "Okay..."
Ky and the maid left the room, leaving Jam to think.
She thought, 'What is this feeling? When I'm near Ky, I feel so...warm. What could this mean?'
Later that day, Ky found May and Johnny on his doorstep.
"Hi, Ky! What's up?" May was excited to see Ky.
Johnny wasn't all that enthusiastic, though. "Hey, what's up, Ky?"
Ky replied, "Hello, May. Johnny. What brings you here?"
May spoke first. "The Mayship just happened to fly over this mansion and we decided to visit."
Ky then said, "That's very thoughtful. Come on in."
As the two walked into the mansion, Johnny said, "Doesn't it get lonely in this gigantic house? Don't you ever have company?"
Ky replied, "I have company right now. Jam."
May was surprised. "Jam? What's she doing here?"
"Well..."
Ky explained the situation to May and Johnny.
Johnny was the first to speak. "Heh. Pretty chivalrous of you, knight."
May asked, "Can I go see her?"
Ky gladly said, "Sure. You both can. Upstairs on the 3rd floor, first door on your right."
Johnny said, "Go on ahead, May. Me and holy-boy here have to talk."
Ky confusedly asked, "Talk? What about?"
Upstairs, May entered the room Jam stayed in.
Jam asked, "Yes?...May? What're you doing here?"
May replied, "Me and Johnny came to visit. How're you feeling, Jam?"
Jam happily said, "Much better, thanks to Ky."
May grinned, and said, "Thanks to Ky, huh?"
Jam noticed the tone in May's voice. "What?"
May replied, "Oh, nothing, nothing at all!"
It was silent. Jam clasped her hands together before asking, "May, I have to ask you something. It's about Ky."
May asked, "What is it?"
Jam hesitantly said, "Well...whenever I'm near Ky, I always feel this warmth inside of me, like I'm always safe when he's nearby."
May grinned. "Anything else?"
Jam didn't notice her grin and continued, "Yeah. I keep having these nightmares about him leaving me. I wake up screaming, with tears in my eyes, and he's always right there next to me, telling me that everything's okay now."
May asked, "Is that all?"
Jam's face was a little flushed as she asked, "What do you mean?"
May noticed Jam blushing. "Jam, are you...in love with Ky?"
Jam's face was entirely red. She tried to hide it from May. "W-What are talking about!? Ky's just my friend!"
"You're blushing!" May yelled. "You ARE in love with Ky!"
Jam was hurt. "Don't tease me..."
May sensed this. "Aw, it's okay, Jam. Honestly, I think that you two make a great couple!"
Slightly cheered up, Jam blushed and asked, "You think so?" Meanwhile...
Ky said, "I see. So, I should be careful?"
Johnny replied, "Yeah. For you and Jam's sake. We don't know WHAT Justice might do if he found you and Jam here!"
Ky then said, "All right. Thanks for telling me."
May came down the stairs. "Okay, I'm ready to go."
Johnny said, "Well, see ya later, Ky."
May said, with a grin, "Take good care of Jam!"
Ky face was flushed. "Huh?"
On their way back to the Mayship, May explained Jam's dilemma to Johnny.
Johnny spoke. "Well, I'll be damned. A knight and a restaurant owner."
May said, "I think they'll make a great couple."
Johnny grinned. "This should be interesting!"
Back at the mansion, Ky went to check on Jam. She was leaning by the window, trying to stand.
"Jam!"
Ky rushed over to help Jam. "You're not supposed to standing! You should be in bed!"
Jam weakly replied, "I'm sorry, Ky, but...I have to go."
Ky refused to let Jam leave. "I can't let you! You're not better yet!"
Jam persisted. "But I have to!"
Ky held her back. "Listen, Jam, you can't go anywhere until you're better! You'll only hurt yourself even more if you try! I'm responsible for your safety, and I don't want you more hurt than you already are!"
Jam noticed the emotion in Ky's azure eyes.
Ky continued, in a softer voice, "Please, Jam...I don't want you to hurt yourself."
Ky helped Jam into bed.
Ky finished, "I'll be back with some hot cocoa, so please, try to get some rest."
Ky closed the door.
Jam thought to herself. 'Ky...do you really care this much about me? Is May right? Am I in love with Ky? This is all too confusing...'
