Chapter 15
Pain and Pasts Hurt too much
A large black field with hundred of people, the sky red as blood, and Jenny stood next to Orion as they looked at Saran on her horse next to her Mage Malachite on his, horse. Jenny looked at the two of them with pure and utter hatred, "Your two are going to pay for what you have done," yelled Orin.
"Orin, you have no idea what power Saran and I hold now," he laughed at them. "Jena's soul will be mind, I will have the power of the worlds most powerful seer," spoke Malachite. Jenny closed her eyes as a wave of anger and hate flooded her head.
"Over my dead blue eyes white dragon body!" snapped Jenny. Saran and Malachite smirked, "That can be arranged," they said. "DESTROY THEM!" yelled Saran, as they began to fight. "ARROWS!" yelled Malachite.
"ACTIVIATE ARMORS!" yelled Alec, as large powerful shield formed around the army of warriors of light. Jenny grabbed her ancient duel disk that was on her arm and looked at Orin, "Now, or never, Orion," she said taking the wing dragon of Ra pendent from her pocket handing it to him.
"Are you sure you mind can control Obelisk in your condition?" he asked worried that she might lose control to the great tormentor again. Jenny nodded taking the Obelisk pendent in her hand she looked over at her Uncle Yugi, who was smiling at her while Alec and the other warriors held the shields repelling the arrows back towards Saran and her army of misfits.
"Negate attack!" yelled Malachite as an attack came at him, holding his ground. Matt walked up to Jenny, "Ready?" he asked holding the Slyfer pendent. Jenny nodded, "As ever, as I am going to be," she said. The shield around them fell, Saran laughed, "You really don't know what you are up against," she smirked.
The images changed suddenly, the ground littered with dead bodies, and Jenny was struggling to keep her ground but soon fell on her knees. The blue armor around her faded as she hit the ground with her faces first. Jenny could not remember any thing, she tried to open her eyes but the arrow just cut too deep for she was losing blood.
"Jena!" shouted Orion picking Jenny up in his arms. Jenny looked up at him, she could not see her eyes were lifeless and she was dead. Orion held Jenny close and began to cry as he did when he lose his best friend years ago he did not want to lose the soul that he loved again.
"NO!" Jenny thought, "I don't want to die," she yelled. "NOOOOOOO!" she screamed sitting up in bed springing up covered in sweat. Jenny felt the sweat on her face as she was breathing hard as she shot up. She looked around, and saw she was still at the palace, in Orion's bedroom to be exact.
Jenny looked next to her Orion was not there nor was he out on the balcony. Jenny moved and wrapped the silk sheet around her, as she pulled out a knife from under a pillow which Orion had kept for her hidden so if she needed it. Jenny's eyes scanned the room; the light of the full moon was shining it to it from the balcony. She felt alone her breathing hard as if she was working out on an exercise machine back home in her time.
Jenny saw something move in the corner of her eyes she relaxed and put the knife down, "ORION!" she spoke slowly while letting out a sigh of relief as Orion moved from his camber pot. "I am wondering if you're ever going to get used to me peeing in the middle of the night?" he asked moving next to her on the bed. Jenny took a deep claming breath, "You scared me, that is all," she said sheathing the knife and placing it under the pillow again.
Orion raised an eyebrow, "Another nightmare huh," he said, pointing out the obverse. Jenny nodded, closed her eyes and rubbed on them with her hands, "Yeah it was that one where I died again, like all the others, but it keeps changing," she said. Orion looked at Jenny closely, "I am not losing you like I did Jena, and the future is never as it first shown," he said.
Jenny smiled, "I wish you wouldn't say that, I am not her, I am not Jena, I am just me, I wish you would get that," she said. Orion looked at Jenny with concern, "I thought you would understand," he said in an upset tone. Jenny's face went to worry, "Orion, I am sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you, I am her just I can't remember being her," she quickly.
"It's not everyday you find out that your holding the soul of someone else," spoke Jenny slowly. Orion looked at Jenny, "I am sorry, Jennifer," he said. Jenny moved over to Orion keeping the silk sheet wrapped about her, "No, don't say that, I am Jena, just with out her memories, or her reincarnation, I don't know," she said putting her hands on his shoulders.
Orion was looking at Jenny, oh how he wanted to say the words again, as he did on the night, which he and her first made love but he just could not say it, now the wound was reopened and it was going to take time to close. "Jennifer, I am sorry," he spoke in a quiet tone while moving off the bed.
Jenny watched Orion move over to the balcony window, Jenny decided to follow him, "I guess no sex tonight, huh," she said with a smirk. Orion turned, "That's not funny, Jennifer," he said then looking back out at the city below. Jenny glided over to Orion with the sheet around her, "You know," she said, "You don't need to blame yourself; there was nothing you could do to save her."
"I didn't try to save her; instead I forced her to move on. Not caring how she felt, I made her into sex slave, Jennifer," he said turning toward her. "Basically like me now, your little sex toy, so I take it these past few months, have been nothing but a waste of my time," she said moving over to the bed.
Orion watched Jenny sit down and pick up her clothes from the floor, "Where do you think your going?" he asked. Jenny looked up at him, "I am going to my cousin's room, there no point in going to my old room since it Malachite's now, with his little friend," she put on her shoes and stood up.
Orion walked over to her, "No, please do not, leave Jennifer," he spoke in a worried voice. Jenny did not move she stood silent as Orion moved his hands over her bare shoulders, "Please," he asked again.
Jenny closed her eyes as she felt Orion place soft tender kisses on her neck. Jenny slowly turned with the sheet around her body, "Why?" she asked him. Orion, moved Jenny's long brown bags from her face, "Because I don't want to be without you or at least have you out of my sight while Malachite is here. I just don't repeat the past," he said.
Jenny closed her eyes and sighed, "Fine," she said in a quiet calm voice, "I will stay my Prince," she said opening her eyes looking at him. Orion looked at Jenny she was completely naked under that sheet and he knew it. "You know," he said with a grin on his face, "You can make that in to a dress, someday" he smiled at her.
Jenny looked down "I can't believe, I was just about to walk out in your bed room in your sheet," she laughed. Orion laughed, "Yeah, now that is funny," he said. Jenny and Orion made their way to the bed laughing; however, there seemed to be nothing too funny to laugh about now.
Jenny lied down on the far side and Orion on the other, they had not held each other for quite some time, and it had been weeks since Malachite's arrival with the news of Jena's death being told to all that had come from the 21 century as well.
Orion seemed to be wanting his distance from Jenny lately and he was getting it, Jenny wanted him so much yet she knew that his wound that he so cleverly kept sealed have poured open again.
Jenny turned and looked at Orion's back as he tried to get some sleep; she moved slowly trying not to disturb him. Jenny put her arms around Orion's right side and laid her head on his pillow. Orion closed his eyes at the feeling of Jenny's white, gentle soft hands caressed his dark tan skin arms.
Orion moved to his back, silently telling Jenny to give him a massage. Jenny moved on to Orion's lower back her small body and frame did not bother him when she sat on him. Jenny massaged Orion shoulder blades she worked out every single knot in them, which was a lot, she moved up and down Orion's back, Jenny was surprise how flexible Orion's back really was and she found some ticklish spots to be aware of for future back rubs or nights.
Orion felt Jenny finish a few moments later, he looked up at her as she stood up on the bed. Orion turned on his stomach and look up at the girl above him, he could see the sheet that covered her, did not go low enough for him not to see her thighs, "Wow," he muttered. Orion moved his hips, which made the bed shake and Jenny to fell, now he wanted her to fall to her side of the bed, but Jenny did not, instead she landed right on of him.
Jenny did not land hard if at all when she caught her self-causing her to hover over Orion. Jenny looked into Orion's eyes, they shown dark and mystery, not to mention pain and hurt. Jenny smiled at him and gave a quick peek on the lips, as she was about to move away from him, Orion reached up and pulled Jenny towards him, giving her a large passionate kiss on the lips.
Jenny let out a little moan of pleasure as Orion's tongue entered her mouth. Jenny felt Orion's hands moved from her back to her butt to her thighs and suddenly stop and he removed his hands from her.
"Jennifer, um, maybe we should just go to sleep," he said. Jenny looked at Orion's eyes, she knew he had pushed too far for himself; the wounds were beginning to hurt him again. Jenny touched his face, "Orion, what's wrong, am I not good enough?" she asked. Orion sat up and Jenny rolled off, "No, it nothing Jennifer, just go to sleep," he said. Jenny nodded she figured it would be nice to wait and take the relationship slow for a while but they were moving fast and now not moving at all.
The next day was one of many worst days to come; Seto and Alec were walking the ground when they found Jenny in a corner on one of the balconies crying her eye or eyes out. "Jenny," said Seto worried as he saw his daughters tear stain face and hearing her sobbing. Jenny covered her face quickly; Seto and Alec walked over to their daughter and took a good look at her face.
A large black circle was forming around Jenny's eye, Alec was angry, "Jenny what happened?" she snapped in rage. Jenny looked at both her parents, she didn't say a word, Seto picked up his crying almost now 17 year old daughter and held her close, "Jen, tell us please," he said.
Jenny closed her good eye, because the other was closed shut from the swelling. "Orion he, he and I had argue… argument…," she sobbed in a crying voice. Alec looked at her husband, then at Jenny, "did he hit you?" Seto asked ready to hurt Orin the minute he saw him again. Jenny shook her head, "No, I did this to myself, because I hit him, and cut his face," she sobbed.
Seto pulled his daughter close, and looked at Alec, "umm, you want to handle this or should I?" he asked Alec. Alec smiled, "I will tell the others, you calm her down and keep her from doing this to her self, again," she said and walked away. Seto look down at his daughter, "Come, Jenny," he said as he picked her up in his arms and took her to Melissa's room.
Melissa ran in the room moments later after Jenny and Seto had entered. "Yikes, Aunt Alec said it was bad but wow, that's worst then I thought," she said, as Seto removed a cloth from Jenny's bruised eye. "You sure you did this to your self?" Melissa asked Jenny. Jenny looked up half-sobbing half-angry, 'I do not want to be near Orion's no, Orin's room,' she thought. "Want me to do it to other one, just to prove that I can?" snapped an angry Jenny, "Or better yet why don't I do it to you."
Melissa went wide eye, "No, just wondering," she said not fully believing her cousin. Jenny sobbed as she told them how she had given herself a black eye, she stood out in the courtyard for almost and hour before she hit her self in the eye with small ion ball.
"Ouch," said Andy as he entered the room now, "Get out Andy!" snapped Jenny quickly. Her brother stopped, "Hey I am not the one you should be mad at, it Prince Sex across the hall, in his room, is the one you should be angry at," he said. Jenny knew why Andy had come to Melissa's room, "He didn't do this to me, I did it to myself, ok get off it," she said.
Andy nodded, "Yeah, but Matt and I told him on the night you two hooked up, he breaks your heart, and Matt and I get to breaking his neck, personally I like that idea, right now because you are hurting because of him," he said smashing his fist in to his palm.
Jenny felt horrible, "Andrew, your not going to do anything to that Prince, if anyone does, I will do it to him," said Seto, "You and Matt will only make it worst." Andy rolled his eyes, "Oh, Dad, I hate Egypt, this time, this kilt, and the fact that my little sister is crying her eyes out right across the hall from the one that broke her heart. Come on, just one little punch in the stomach and then you and mom can castrate him."
"Andy, I broke my own heart, ok, you, Melissa and Matt were right I should have waited, I should have just waited on everything," she said sobbing and pausing. Andy looked at his sister, "You mean to tell me, Melissa and Matt knew about it!" snapped Andy. Jenny looked at him, "Why do you think I was missing when…" she paused, from what she was going to say, the thought saying Orin's name or nickname would just cause the wound to grow deeper. Andy knelt down and put his hands on his sister's knees, "I figured as much," he said calmly.
Seto looked at Melissa and Andy, "You two think you could watch her, while I go fine someone," he said. Jenny removed her hands from her face, "DAD, don't hurt …," Jenny stopped again, the wound cut deeper in her heart for trying to protect Orin and she did not want too, a void opened with in her again.
Seto nodded, "I was going to say, you mother, but of course, Jen I won't hurt the prince, when I see him, however your mother is the one with a knife, right now, I should know…." he started then a loud crash from across the hall was heard in Orin's room. Seto looked at Jenny as her good eye widened in fear, "Stay here," he said quickly and left to investigate.
Orin was in his room, he threw things at the wall, anything he could find, Seto came in "Orin what the hell is going on in here!" he said. Orin looked at Kaiba, "Leave Kaiba this doesn't concern you," he said. Seto crossed his arms, "When it involves my daughter's heart it concerns me, greatly, she is crying across from your door in her cousin's room," he added.
Orin let out a large breath and turned to face Seto, a large handprint was on his face along with cuts from some fingernails. Seto was proud and shocked that his little princess, who was across the hall, could hurt Orin so bad with her bare hand.
"You mean, to come in here and tell me not to hurt your daughter because guess what she hurt me more then anything worse then….." he stopped saying Jena's name or for that matter saying Jenny's name, hurt too much.
Seto crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, "She is sitting in Melissa's room with a black eye, you tell me what I should say to you?" he asked using his old tone of voice when it came to trying to get things out of people.
Orin's head lifted up, "What, how when did she get it, because I didn't lay a finger on her, if anyone did any touching it was her not me," he said putting his argument with Jenny a side. Seto let out a small laugh, "well funny you should say that, because she did it to herself in the courtyard with an ion ball, and it was the first thing she said to all of us," he said. Orin almost laughed from the thought but then remembered that the slap and cuts on his face were from Jenny and he kicked the parchment that lay on the floor.
"Like I care," Orin said in an unemotional voice, looking at Seto. Seto almost laughed again but held it, he knew that Orin was serious about it, "Want to tell me what the fight was about?" he asked. Orin sat on the bed, "No!" he snapped at Kaiba sounding like an upset child.
Seto smirked, "I know it would put the pain behind you," he said, "I left Alec for six years and I found it good to talk to some one when you're upset, it really works." In Kaiba's brain, it was a different story, 'What am I doing playing love councilor?' he asked his brain, the answer came suddenly, 'Jenny Happy, need you think more?' Orin sighed and fell back on his bed, "Fine, the argument was about our sex life," he said. This argument peeked Seto's interest, "What did she or you do?" he asked trying to keep from picking a side.
Orin took a deep breath, "I haven't touched her in a compassionate way for weeks," he said. Seto raised an eyebrow, "You haven't had sex with her in a while," he said in surprise, for he knew they were staying in the same room now. Orin shook his head, "No, and a barely kiss or hold her, she was upset and asking me to forget …," he paused he did not want to say her name, "Jena," finished Seto. Orin looked at Seto, "Yes, I can't look at," he paused, "Jennifer, with out seeing Jena," he finally spoke after a long pause the names came as if he was choking them out.
Seto looked at the teen almost adult prince on the bed, Seto thought, 'he did care about Jenny, but now he had a new obstacle in the way. He can't get over his past, oh well, should I know what to do about it?' another voice answered Kaiba's brain, 'YES! You do,' it said. This was something that Seto was familiar with, the past he had fought his before now it was time to help Orin face his past.
Seto sat down next to the boy as he pulled out a locket that he had been hiding under her silk shirt. "Here," Seto said handing Orin the locket. Orin opened the card-sized locket. Three pictures were in side it, one of Mokuba as a little kid, one of Alec, and a small picture of Jenny, Andy and Kate when they were little making faces.
"What's this?" asked Orin, as he looked at Seto. Seto pointed to Mokuba's picture, "that's my little brother," he said. Orin nodded, "He looks really young in this, how old is he?" asked Orin.
Seto smirked, "in that picture, about 6, now he all grown up and is married to a girl name, Yamu," he answered. Orin turned his eyes to the picture of Alec, she appeared to be 13 her long blue hair covered her back, was turned in the picture with her head facing the out. "This I take it is Alexandra?" he asked pointing at it. Seto nodded, "Yes, and there is Jenny, Andy and Kate," he said pointing at the picture.
Orin's eyes widened as he looked at Jenny in the picture she looked happy, her face looked so different, and her youthful smile shown the best as she stuck out her tongue at her brother. Jenny's long brown hair was in a ponytail and her big purple/blue eyes shown through. "So why show me this?" he asked, handing Seto the locket back. Seto smiled, "If it wasn't for my past I would never become the man I am today, nor have Jennifer, Andrew, or Kathleen (Kate)," he said.
Orin looked confused as Seto explained, "Jenny, Andy and Kate, were born after Alec had two miscarriages, Alec was almost killed when I broke a promise to her, and Mokuba well, I left him by himself and things got out of hand," he said. Orin shook his head, "So what did you do about it?" he asked.
Seto stood up putting the locket back under his shirt, "I faced it, I came back for Mokuba, I stayed by Alec's side, after her accidents and miscarriages and now I have a bright future with three children, who are almost grown up," he said.
Orin shook his head, "You're not making sense Kaiba," he said. Seto looked at the young man in front of him, "Orin if I didn't stay with Alec after she lost the first two babies, then I would never have my three children, don't run from your past no matter how painful it is, if will bite you in the end," he said and left the room.
Orin walked over to a mirror and touched his face; he saw that Jenny's handprint was slowly going away, and his cuts scabbing up. He took a cloth that sat at the stand and began to; slowly wash his face of the cuts, which Jenny had given him.
Outside Orin's door, Seto looked at Alec, "You know, I thought that went well," she smiled after over hearing Seto, holding the knife in her hand. Seto looked at her, "What!" he said. Alec smiled and hugged her husband keeping the knife in its sheath, "You just showed the most important side of yourself you know that," she grinned.
Seto grinned, "That boy is no different then me, and put the knife away, I know you want to castrate the poor boy but that's a little extreme," he said, then smiling, "I kept seeing Gosaburo every time I held you, when we were younger," he said. Alec smiled at Seto, "And how did you beat it," she asked. Seto smirked, "I have you, don't I," he said taking her in his arms.
Seto looked pass Alec at that moment, he saw a figure of Gosaburo appeared in front of him this was all in Seto's head as he tightened his hold on his loving wife. 'MINE,' he thought, 'you cannot hurt her anymore. She's not yours to hurt and give pain to, Alec is safe with me.'
Alec closed her eyes in her husbands strong embrace as they parted Jenny came out of Melissa's room, "Dad, Mom," she spoke in a little shaken voice. Seto walked over to his daughter, "Yes, Jenny," he said calmly. "Can we talk?" she asked shaking a little where she stood. Seto went inside Melissa's room. Alec looked at Orin's door, then taking the sheathed knife and putting it back on her belt, and then went inside Melissa's room as well to talk to Jenny.
Oh dear me oh my, the happy couple is broken up what ever shall we do. MWAHAHAHAHAHA, do not worry there is a reason this is a romance, tragedy and angst story. Next chapter will be up momentarily or when the link shows up which ever comes next.
