-Oasis Dimension, Haou's chamber-

Haou was looking over at some paperwork about taxes when he heard his brother screaming. The older brunette dashed inside to his bedchamber to see his brother thrashing around the covers.

"Jaden!" said Haou as he holds onto the younger brunette. "Wake up! Snap out of it, it's just a dream!"

Jaden snapped his eyes open before starting to sob onto his brother's chest. The young brunette was shaking and was holding onto his brother's shirt tightly.

"That man was about to kill me! And I couldn't find you, Haou! He was planning to kill me!"

"Easy there little brother," murmured Haou softly. "You are safe now and no one and I mean no one is going to get you, not when I'm around."

Jaden whimper a bit before slowly falling asleep onto his brother's arms.

Haou watched his younger brother sleep before reposition himself where Jaden was using his legs as a pillow. That's when he recalls a memory when he was a child.

-Flashback-

Young Haou was reading a book as he couldn't fall asleep. The brunette decided to read one of the books that he started not too long ago.

Not too soon, Haou could hear the rain fall and was followed up with thunder and lightning.

"That's right," murmured Haou as he got up from his bed. He walked over to his window, "Aqua said there might be a thunderstorm late tonight."

Haou stared at the fallen rain as it was quite soothing for him.

The brunette was about to head back to bed when he spotted a rather small bulge on his bed. Haou sighed knowing what it was. He walked over and uncovered the sheets to find his four year old younger brother, Jaden shaking with tears running down his eyes.

"Jaden, what are you doing here?" asked Haou.

The young brunette was about to reply before having a frightened look on his face when thunder and lightning was heard.

"Don't let that monster get me! It's coming closer big brother!"

Haou laughed, silently before picking up his little brother and sat onto his bed. He placed Jaden onto his legs and let him use him as a bed.

"Trust me little brother, nothing is going to get you. It's not a monster, its thunder and lightning."

"B-But why does it sound so loud? And scary? Ah!" wondered Jaden before covering his little face onto his older brother's chest. "Make it go away!"

Haou smiled, softly before hugging his brother. "I can't do that. I can't control the weather but hey, tell you what? You can sleep with me tonight and I'll make sure those scary sounds wouldn't get you."

Jaden looked up before smiling, "Really? You promised that nasty thunder wouldn't get me?"

"Promise," replied Haou. "As long as I live, nothing is going to harm you little brother. Now let's get some sleep as tomorrow I will be teaching you on how to ride a horse, ok?"

"'kay," replied Jaden before snuggling closer to his older brother. "No one dares to mess with you, big brother."

Haou smiled, sheepishly before the two fallen asleep together.

-End Flashback-

The older brunette couldn't believe that he had broken his promise all those years ago. He looked down to see his little brother sleeping peaceful like he did when he was younger.

'This time, I will keep that promise,' thought Haou before fallen asleep.

In the morning, Haou carefully removed himself from his younger brother's death grip and changed to a pair of clean clothes. As he was putting on his crimson cape, there was a knock on the door and came in was Aqua.

"Good morning Haou, will you be having breakfast here or at the diner room?"

"Here," replied Haou before looking over to Aqua. "Afterwards, I will be heading out so you'll be watching Jaden with Inferno Wing and Winged Kuriboh."

"Of course," said Aqua, sadly before sighing. "Forgive me Haou…Forgive me for not being here to protect your little brother."

Haou stared at the water priestess before guiding her into his bedchamber where Jaden was fast asleep and Winged Kuriboh was floating right by him.

"For a small duel monster, you have such a fighting spirit," murmured Haou while Aqua giggled a bit. The older brunette sighs, "It's not your fault Aqua. Who would have thought that a Light follower would try to sneak into the castle?"

"But still," said Aqua before lowering her head. "It's been my duty to keep you and your little brother safe. I failed once and I didn't want a repeat."

Haou had a confuse look on his face when he realize that Aqua was taking about his brother's disappearance. He sighed and placed his hand onto Aqua's shoulders, "Forget about it as it all happened in the past and there is nothing to change it."

Aqua was about to protest when Haou stopped her.

"You are more than just our guardian Aqua. You have been like a second Mother to us – to me ever since my Mother passed away. Please…it was those blasted guards for not doing their job."

Aqua's eyes widen before she gives a warm smile to the older brunette. She always viewed the two young princes as her own, ever since she was assigned as their caretaker.

"Well if you would excuse me, let me fetch your breakfast. Is there any specific diet that Ella gave to Jaden?"

"No, he just needs to rest up for a bit," replied Haou.

Aqua nodded, "I think I know what to give him. I'll be back in just a few minutes."

Haou watched Aqua leave his bedchamber before walking over and taking a seat by the double window. He was about to grab a book to read when he heard Winged Kuriboh. He looked over to see the winged creature was trying to wake Jaden up by rubbing his fur against the younger brunette's cheeks.

"Syrus five more minutes," murmured Jaden.

Haou chuckled a bit as he watches the small duel spirit trying to wake Jaden up for about five minutes. Just when Aqua came in with a tray of food, Winged Kuriboh slammed himself onto Jaden's chest.

"Ah! What…Kuriboh?" said Jaden, tiredly before rubbing his eyes. "Why did you have to wake me up like that?"

Winged Kuriboh just rubbed his fur onto Jaden's cheeks before flying over to the food tray.

"Hey! Don't eat without me!" whined Jaden before noticing he was not in his room. He looked around to see that he was in his brother's room.

"Finally to decide to wake up," said Haou before grabbing a fried shrimp. "I bet it was your stomach that woke you up."

Jaden pouts just as his stomach started to growl and his cheeks turn slightly red.

Aqua giggled, "Here Jaden, I have asked the cook to make you some fried shrimp for breakfast. Haou did you really had to steal one of your brother's shrimp?"

"Payback," replied Haou before getting his own breakfast. "He stole a few of mine when we were kids."

Jaden blinked his eyes, "I did?"

Aqua placed her hands onto her hips, "Can't you let that go Haou. Jaden was only four years old at the time."

"Nope," replied Haou before continuing onto his breakfast.

Aqua sighed before noticing that Jaden was about to get up. She walked over to him and placed her hand onto the brunette's shoulder, "You mustn't get up. Your ankle is not fully healed yet."

"Not healed? What are you talking about Aqua?" asked Jaden before removing the bed sheets. The brunette widens his eyes to see that his ankle was bandaged up. "What happened?"

Haou and Aqua looked at each other before the water priestess address to him.

"You don't remember Jaden?"

Jaden looked down to his hands before memories of yesterday came flowing back to him.

Haou leaving to the lake while Ella and Lily watching him, the trespasser kidnapping him and Winged Kuriboh, Ella and Lily getting hurt.

Jaden had a panic look on his face before hugging himself. Haou quickly got up and walked over to his little brother before embracing him.

"Easy there Jaden, he can't hurt you any longer."

The young brunette buried his face onto his older brother's chest while holding onto his black tunic, tightly.

Aqua didn't know what to say but then she heard a knock on the entrance door. She quietly walked out of the bedchambers and opened the door to find Skilled White Magician standing there.

White Magician bowed, "My Lady, I came to inform his majesty about Lord Johan and the southern village."

"I see, very well," said Aqua before leaning over to him. "Be careful on what you say as Haou is still not fully calm yet from yesterday."

Skilled White Magician paled a bit before nodding his head.

Aqua let him into the room and to the bedchambers where they found Haou sitting at the bed while Jaden was eating his breakfast. Winged Kuriboh was perched on top of the younger brunette's head.

White Magician walked over by Haou and gave a bow to him.

"My King, Lord Johan has successfully defeated the southern village in the Dark World and shall be returning tomorrow morning."

Haou nodded, "Were there any survivors?"

"Mostly children and one duel spirit," replied White Magician.

"Very well, is there anything else?" said Haou.

"No my King, that's all," replied White Magician.

"Dismissed," said Haou before getting up. "Have Baou to wait for me at the foyer."

Skilled White Magician nodded before bowing once again and left the room.

"I'll be back, Jaden," said Haou as he placed his hand onto his brother's head. "Don't worry, Aqua and Winged Kuriboh will be there for you…including one of your duel monster in your deck."

Jaden titled his head, "Who?"

Haou chuckled as a duel monster appeared behind him. "I believe you use him quite often before having that Spacian card, Neos."

Jaden widened his eyes, "F-Flame Wingman? No way! That's sweet! How ya doing, pal?"

"Quite all right, Jaden but I'm glad to know that you are alright," replied Flame Wingman before flying over to Inferno Wing.

"I guess he knows his dark version," murmured Haou.

"Dark version?" asked Jaden before remembering something. "That's right! You use a Dark Hero deck, right?"

Haou nodded, "That's right. Now stay put and don't move until I come back."

Jaden sighed, dramatically and nodded his head before watching his brother leave the room. The young brunette grabbed hold onto Winged Kuriboh while having an unsure feeling.

Aqua sighed, trying to think of a way to distract the young prince for the time being. She looked around before spotting the bookshelf and seeing a black leather book.

'He still has it,' thought Aqua before going over to the bookshelf. She picked up the black leather book and walked over to Jaden. "Young prince, I have something to show you," said Aqua, softly. She sat next to him before opening up the leather book, "Or rather looking back some old memories."

Inside there were pictures of his brother and himself but younger.

Jaden was in awe upon seeing the pictures before seeing one picture of his older brother with a boy that had dark blue hair and orange eyes. "Aqua is that Johan?" he asked.

Aqua smiled, "Yes, your brother's personal knight and Jesse's older brother."

Jaden looked back to the picture, "He's doesn't smile much, does he?"

Aqua giggled, "You can say that but that's Johan for yea. Just like his Father, always so serious and rarely shows any emotions while Jesse inherited their Mother's sweet nature."

Jaden smiled a bit before looking over at the pictures and spotted one that had all of them together, wearing winter robes. "Hey, I don't remember snowing here," he pointed out.

"It doesn't," said Aqua before smiling. "This was taken in the Snowland Dimension where your parents would take you and your brother for winter vacation. Your parents would also take Johan and Jesse to the trips."

"Really," said Jaden before looking back to the picture. "I was really small, wasn't I?"

"You have no idea," said Aqua. "You would use that as an advantage when you went to the Snowland. You and Jesse would sneak out of the cottage manor and would go out and play in the snow, for who knows how long until Haou and Johan carried you and Jesse back to the cottage."

Winged Kuriboh hopped from Jaden's head before flying over to the book. He looked down before squealing happily upon seeing his partner as a young child. Jaden and Aqua laughed before the two of them continued looking over some of the pictures.

Meanwhile, Haou was at the dungeons and was glaring at the light follower.

The trespasser, Marcus was still hanging up from the ground and had multiply whip wounds on his back and arms. The Heretic's fork was still around his neck and his limps were still impaled by the spears. Marcus' eyes were tired and dull.

The older brunette could sense whatever light was controlling the pathetic human was gone but that wouldn't lessen his sentence.

"Skull Knight, report!"

Marcus' face turned completely pale upon seeing the young king before gasping to feel that he just soiled himself. He wished that he can hide his face from the embarrassment but not knowing he was going to die was much worse.

"My King, as you requested the spears have not been removed and has been whip until he passed out," said the Knight as he bowed to Haou. "This morning boiled oil was poured onto where the spears were impaled, sire."

Haou nodded before walking over to Marcus and gave him a malicious smirk.

"Did you enjoy you lovely stay, Marcus? Or…was your 'room' not to your satisfaction?"

"P-Please your majesty!" begged Marcus. "Whatever I have done, it was not my fault! I have no idea how I got here, sire! Please, show mercy! I beg of you!"

Haou narrowed his eyes before snapping his fingers. Skull Knight quickly handed the young king a leather whip. "Tell me Marcus," started Haou before walking over to his prisoner. He stared darkly to him, "What is the most poisonous venom known all to man?"

Marcus gulped, nervously, "Is it not Basilisk venom, sire?"

"Basilisk venom is listed the most poisonous but it's curable," replied Haou, darkly. He unwrap the whip, "No, the most poisonous venom is used by a snail called Marbled Cone…there has not been a cure as of yet."

Marcus' face became paler from not just the blood loss but the fact that the young king would have the most dangerous venom on storage.

"Let's see…how the Marble Cone venom affects a human body?" said Haou, darkly.

Marcus gave him a pleading look, "P-Please, my King! Let me redeem myself on what I have done! Community service – anything!"

"Silence you fool!" shouted Baou.

"There is nothing you can't do to redeem yourself," sneered Skull Knight.

"In your state of weak mind, you storm into the castle and attacked Ella, our healer," said White Magician. "Not only that, you kidnapped and injured his majesty's younger brother."

"That sentence is – Death!" said Baou.

Marcus' face was completely drained, "H-His younger…brother? The young Prince has been found?! Please your majesty! Let me show you that I mean no harm to the young Prince!"

Haou glared, "You may have been controlled but I cannot let you go, unpunished. You gave my younger brother fear and now it is your turn."

Marcus started to shiver.

Meanwhile Aqua was helping Jaden with his lessons when they heard an ear-piercing scream.

"What…was that?" asked Jaden.

Aqua sighed, "Your brother punishing the trespasser. I think he is torturing him first before killing him as that is his sentence."

Jaden eyes widen before flinching when he heard the screaming. The brunette covered his ears so that he wouldn't hear it.

"Come on, let's go somewhere else," suggested Aqua before having Jaden's Flame Wingman carry him. "Inferno Wing will notify to your brother where we will be."

'Anything to not hear that god awful screaming,' thought Jaden.

-Break Line-

Poor Jaden, he's a bit jumpy from his close encounter of being kidnapped. At least Haou show Marcus a thing or two but will the dark king show mercy to him?

Na! I highly doubt it!

Until next time guys, ciao for now!
