\Jaden's Dream/

Jaden stood in the middle of a pure white world. He gazed down to his one hand, which held a red rose, rubbing the stem gently so he wouldn't cut himself on one of the thorns.

"Jaden?"

Jaden's head shot up to the call of his name. The brunette smiled warmly as he saw his adorable little friend, Syrus. Jaden reached a hand out to his smaller and younger friend and stroked Syrus's pale cheek. His skin was soft and smooth under Jaden's tan hand.

"Syrus, I've wanted to give you this for a while" Jaden said as he held up the rose, which had magically changed from red to a sterling silver. A silver that matched Syrus's eyes flawlessly.

Syrus took the rose and stared at its beauty. "Jaden…it's wonderful."

"Syrus" Jaden whispered as he pulled Syrus closer into a soft hug, "I need to tell you something."

"What?" came Syrus's soft and muffled reply.

"I love you. I've loved you since I first laid my eyes on you" Jaden whispered again, petting Syrus's silky blue hair while doing so.

"Jaden…I…I love you too!"

\End Jaden's Dream/

Jaden's eyes opened slowly. He knew he had a dream that night; he did every night, if only he could remember it. That dream that ran away when the brunette opened his eyes…it was important in some way. That's why Jaden always knew he dreamt it.

Jaden yawned and his eyes wandered over to the alarm clock.

Huh…only 7:45? It feels-

"Wait! 7:45! I'm late!" Jaden yelled as he oh-so gracefully fell onto his butt on the ground.

"Sy, why didn't you wake me up?" Jaden asked as he ripped off his pajamas and threw on the clothes he wore the day prior.

Jaden looked up to his shorter friend's bed to find him not there.

"Huh…where-?" That's when Jaden remembered what had happened last night.

"I don't give a fuck anymore!"

"I actually said that… Sy probably ditched me for revenge. I would do that to me too. But…Sy really isn't the kind of guy who would take revenge…and I always wake up for him…" Jaden talked to himself as he ran out the dorm and towards the school.

He was going to think more into it, but just then the warning bell rang and Jaden went into overdrive.

\\\

Syrus opened an eye. He shifted his head a little so that his ear was no longer pressing into the ground. Syrus could see the sky now. Gray and dreary, just like Syrus was now.

Syrus started to have a coughing fit, forcing him to sit up. But Syrus got dizzy and only fell back down to Earth with a splash from the mud underneath him.

Syrus was sick. Of course he was. He slept outside, on the ground, in the rain without any branches or stuff like that to protect him. Syrus could feel his head throb and his nose stuffed to capacity. But…he really didn't care. This physical suffering wouldn't last very long.

Syrus didn't have a very strong immune system, so he was subjected to colds and the flu more often than should be allowed (A/N: unlike me, who never gets sick!).

Just another reason why nobody would want to be around with me…I'm weak. No one wants to be associated with a weakling.

Syrus sniffed a little before entering another sneezing and coughing fit.

\\\

Jaden stared out his dorm room window. Syrus wasn't in class that day. He wasn't in the dorm room. None of their friends had seen him either. So where was he?

During lunch break, Jaden had gone around to each of their friends and asked whether they knew where he was. Each time was the same answer: no.

When he had asked Alexis, she had asked Jaden whether or not Syrus had seen what they had done the other night. Jaden had asked why that would matter. Alexis's response was a stare that said "you are the stupidest person on Earth" and a "No. I haven't seen him" before Alexis walked away.

Wait! Maybe it is because me and Alexis kissed a couple nights ago! That must've made Syrus think that I was leaving him or something ridiculous like that! But…he would try to talk to me about that kind of stuff. So why did he…wait…he said he was in love with someone last night. What if that person he loves is Alexis! (A/N: NO YOU IDIOT!) And I yelled at him! But still, Syrus wouldn't just run off like that. Maybe he spent the night in Banner's room and ditched classes to calm down or something. Well, he'll be back. All I have to do is wait.

And so, Jaden sat at that window for hours on end, he even fell asleep there, but still no sign of Syrus.

\\\

The moon shone brightly on a cold, wet, and limp figure of a boy. The moonlight made Syrus seem paler than he normally is. Syrus heard rustling from a nearby bush. Syrus didn't move though. He was too weak to do so. Literally! Syrus could feel all his energy, all his life, drain from his body that entire day. That was not because of the cold or flu or whatever Syrus had.

The thing that made the bush move came out into the open. It was a fox; a beautiful, red-furred, black-tipped ear, white-footed and bellied fox. Syrus stared as the magnificent creature gracefully stalked up to him and look him straight in the eye as she finally got there.

"Why are you here?" the silver-eyed boy asked in a raspy voice.

The fox didn't answer, but Syrus knew it.

"You're here for me…for my soul. You're…you're going to take me to Heaven?" Syrus asked in a shaky voice.

The fox, who apparently knew what Syrus was saying, nodded her head.

Well…it's about time…I guess. But…

"Fox-lady-thing…if you don't mind, could you wait. I mean…if the people I love don't find me by tomorrow – sunset tomorrow – then you can take me away. I won't put up a fight" Syrus asked.

The fox nodded again and disappeared before Syrus's eyes.
