-Oasis Dimension, Jaden's Sitting Room-
Jaden was looking out from the double window that would lead out to the balcony. The brunette would enjoy watching the villages and duel monsters working together, peacefully.
That would mean that his brother wasn't a cold bastard on how some people say he was. Heck, some of the guards and maids are scared of him. But in his memories, he remembers that Haou may have been quiet and protective but never cruel and heartless.
"Was…my disappearance caused him to be this way?" murmured Jaden, softly.
"Kuri?"
Jaden looked up to his partner with a worried look on his face. The brunette smiled before looking over at the balcony to see Flame Wingman was guarding the window while Inferno Wing was guarding his front door.
Aqua was summoned by his brother, leaving Jaden alone though the water priestess did leave some books for him to read while she was gone.
But he hasn't opened any of them.
Jaden bite his lip, nervously before looking around the room then down at his injured ankle. Ella came not too long ago and said that he would be able to walk by tomorrow.
"Kuri – Kuri!"
Jaden looked up to see his partner flying over to the discarded books before jumping onto one. The brunette tilted his head before picking up the selected book.
"The photo album?" asked Jaden. He turned his head, "What about it, Kuriboh?"
The winged spirit jumped up and down before making the book to open and turned to a page he wanted for Jaden to see. It was him as a baby while his brother looked about five years old. His brother was holding onto him or was trying to and had a small smile on his face.
On the picture, there was a message: Haou, age 4 holding his baby brother, Jaden, 6 month old for the first time.
Jaden smiled upon seeing the picture before hearing his door opened. He looked up to see his brother and Aqua walking inside before Haou whispered to Aqua. She nodded before leaving the room.
"Are…Are you done with…" started Jaden but couldn't finish.
Haou frowned, "If you referring about that bastard, then yes, I'm done for today. I'll wait until Johan returns tomorrow for his sentence."
Jaden looked down, "Does…Does he have to go through that kind of torture? Why not just…um well, you know…"
"Kill him?" finished Haou.
"Yea, that," murmured Jaden, softly.
Haou sighed before taking a seat onto the armchair, right across from Jaden. "I want see the fear in his eyes, begging for his useless life before ending his ruthless life."
'At least he's honest,' thought Jaden before shaking his head. "Can you think of some other kind of punishment? This…This wouldn't resolve anything, brother."
Haou narrowed his eyes and slammed his hands onto the table. "And let him get away of his crimes?! Jaden, he could have killed you if I have not intervened! Did you honestly think I will let him live after what he had done to you?!"
Jaden flinched, "I…I know that Haou but your…um your punishments are a bit too medieval."
Haou just started at his younger brother before getting up and walked out to the balcony, shutting the door behind him.
Jaden lay down on the couch before hugging onto Winged Kuriboh. The brunette silently let tears run down his cheeks before sighing. "You know Kuriboh…I sort of enjoyed hearing that man scream in pain. Am…Am I a heartless person just by enjoying someone's torture?"
"Kuri, Kuri," said Winged Kuriboh before shaking his head.
"You're not heartless Jaden," said Aqua as she walked into the room with a tray of food. She frowned when she notice someone was gone, "Where is your brother, Jaden?"
"We…We sort of had a little argument…I think," replied Jaden before pointing over to the window. "He went out and closed the window door."
"I see," said Aqua before shaking her head. She grabbed a bowl of beef stew and placed it in front of Jaden, "Start eating while I go deal with you brother."
Jaden smiled, "Thanks."
Aqua nodded before opening the window door and closed it behind her. She saw that Haou was leaning onto the balcony and was looking down at the castle grounds.
She crossed her arms, "So mind telling me why I found your younger brother crying?"
Haou snapped out of his thoughts and turned his head to Aqua. "He's…that upset?"
"You know that Jaden is quite emotional even to the smallest of things," stated Aqua before narrowing her eyes. "But it would seem that you need to be reminded about that small detail."
Haou slightly narrowed his eyes before turning his head to his left. "He wants me to give mercy to his attacker. How can he be so forgiven after what he has done to…?" The older brunette was interrupted by a slap on his cheek. He slowly reached over to his injured cheek and placed his hand onto it. "You – You slapped me?!"
"To knock some sense to you!" scolded Aqua before placing her hands onto her hips. "Of course Jaden is a forgiven person! Don't you remember of your Mother was like?! She was cherished as a Pure Hearted Queen and that was passed on to your younger brother! So stop being stupid and forgive him!"
Haou blinked his eyes before looking down at the ground with a bit of guilt showing upon his face. He sighs before walking back inside to his brother's sitting room.
Inside, he saw that his brother was eating his lunch and noticed the dried tears on his cheeks.
Haou walked over to his brother and placed his hand on his head. Jaden jumped a bit before looking up to his face.
"H-Haou?"
"…Why is it only you who make me feel so many emotions?"
Jaden shrugged, slightly, "Is…that such a bad thing though? Showing your emotions is not all that bad unless of course, you want some privacy."
Haou twitched his mouth, "If only I can get some around here but being King, I don't."
Jaden giggled before pointing over to the table. "Aqua brought us our lunch and it's really good."
"You don't say," said Haou as Aqua came inside. He turned over to her, "Let me guess, it's your famous beef stew, correct?"
Aqua smiled, "You know me too well, Haou. I will let you two be while I go and help out Lily and Ella as Johan and your troops will be coming back tomorrow."
Haou nodded before going over to the table and begin eating his lunch.
When they finished, Haou collected his paperwork and brought it to Jaden's sitting room while Jaden was reading the book about the 12 Dimensions.
After working for an hour, Haou stopped before hearing some snoring. He turned over to see his younger brother sleeping and had the book on top of his chest.
Haou chuckles a bit before getting up and retrieved a blanket from his brother's bedroom. He removed the book before placing the blanket over his brother.
The older brunette was about to return to his work before having second thoughts and decided to take a break. He walked over to where Jaden was sleeping at and sat on the couch before he fallen asleep as well.
That's how Aqua and Lily found them.
"Maybe we should just leave them be," murmured Lily, nervously. She bites her lip, "I mean we shouldn't interrupt his Majesty's rest time."
Aqua sighed before summoning her staff and pointed over to Haou and Jaden's head. Lily panicked, knowing what the water priestess is going to do.
"No, don't! You'll get punished Lady Aqua!"
The water priestess just winked at her before casting a water spell over to the two brothers and releases it. The two immediately shot up and glared over at Aqua.
"Why did you have to wake us up like that, Aqua?" shouted Jaden.
"Was it necessary for you to do that?" asked Haou, slightly annoyed.
"Considering that is close to dinner and you have not finished the paperwork then, yes," replied Aqua as she crossed her arms.
Haou slightly pouted before grabbed hold of a pillow and throw it to Aqua's face.
Lily who was behind of the water priestess had a shock look on her face before twitching her lips. The young nurse spirit just couldn't believe what she saw.
King Haou had thrown a pillow at Aqua, something rather…childish for his age.
Lily looked over at Aqua before having a panic look on her face when she saw the water priestess twitching her eyebrow.
"If that's how you want to play it," murmured Aqua before pointing her staff towards them again.
Haou widens his eyes while Jaden had an innocent and confused look before the two of them were completely soaked.
"Aqua!" shouted Haou.
"Enough of that, you're not fifteen anymore," stated Aqua. "Now go clean yourselves up while I go and collect your food. Will you be eating here or somewhere else?"
"…Can…Can we eat outside?" asked Jaden.
Haou thought for a moment, "Aqua, have our supper at the castle hot springs."
"Very well," said Aqua before leading a shocked Lily out of the room.
"You have hot springs here?" asked Jaden.
"Yes but I rarely use it," replied Haou before picking Jaden. "It was mostly used for relaxation for Mother and Father while you and Jesse would go and play at the waters."
Jaden thought for a moment before smiling a bit as he remembers.
It didn't take that long to arrive at the castle springs which was breathe taking. Jaden was in awe before his brother placed him onto one of the chairs.
Haou removed the bandages around his injured ankle before examining it. "It looks like it's healing quite well. A little time in the springs will heal your ankle completely."
"Is the water in the springs has some kind of healing magic?" wondered Jaden as he was removing his wet clothes.
"You can say that," murmured Haou before handing his brother a towel. He then removed his own wet clothes and placed his towel around his waist.
The old brunette picked up Jaden and placed him at the edge of the water.
"Awesome! The water feels great!" said Jaden, happily. The young brunette could move his ankle with much ease before he started swimming a bit.
Winged Kuriboh appeared and went into the water as well.
Jaden laughed before looking over to his brother who was sitting at the armchair with his eyes closed. The young brunette thought for a moment before smirking and swims quietly over to his brother.
"Hey Haou!" shouted Jaden.
The older brunette opened one of his eyes before getting splashed upon his face. His eyebrow twitched with a bit of annoyance and smirked a bit upon seeing Jaden laughing.
"Bulls eye!" said Jaden, happily. He gave an innocent look to Haou, "No hard feelings, right brother?"
"Of course brother," murmured Haou before smirking. "But don't you think I will let this slide."
Jaden titled his head while Kuriboh settled on top of the brunette's head. The young brunette was at a loss before widening his eyes upon seeing his brother jumping into the spring.
Jaden had a panic look on his face before going underwater.
Haou stopped before going underwater as well but he couldn't see his brother. He reemerged out of the water and looked around, "Now where did you go?"
Unknown to him, Jaden was sneaking behind him and grabbed hold onto his brother's shoulders. The younger brunette placed his whole weight onto the older one which caused him to go underwater.
The two stayed under for about a few seconds before resurfacing but in the last second, Jaden took his brother's towel.
"Jaden, I know you are only trying to have some fun, but…" started Haou before looking down to see his towel missing. He blushes, "J-Jaden! Give me back my towel!"
Jaden just grinned before swimming away from his brother and sat at the edge of the spring.
"Come and get it!"
Haou sighed but before he could move, Aqua came in with their dinner tray and placed it onto the table. She looked over and smiled at them, "Glad to know you two are having fun but it's time for dinner."
"Sweet! I'm starving!" said Jaden before smirking over to his brother. "Come on Haou, or I will end up eating your dinner as well."
Haou blushed some more, "I…I…um – damn it Jaden! Would you just throw me my towel?!"
"Towel?" asked Aqua before seeing Jaden holding onto a black towel while his own red towel was around his waist. She blinked her eyes before she started to laugh.
"Aqua, don't encourage his actions!" said Haou, slightly whined. He pouts, "Can you at least give me my towel from that little monster?"
"Hey!" shouted Jaden.
Aqua shook her head before snatching the black towel from Jaden and throws it over to Haou. She then picked up Jaden before placing him onto one of the chairs. "Had fun?" she asked with a playful smirk.
Haou glared at her before playfully hitting Jaden onto his head. "That's for taking my towel."
Jaden pouted while rubbing his head, "Well excuse me for trying to have some fun around here. I really miss my friends in Duel Academy."
"And which friends are those?" asked Haou as he took a seat.
Jaden smiled, "Well there is Syrus, he's a bit shy at first but once you get to know him, he's really awesome and a great duelist. He was my very first friend as we meet in our entrance exams before going to duel academy! Then there was Chumley…"
It took about an hour for Jaden to tell his brother about his friends but didn't have the gut to mention about the events had happen when he was in Duel Academy.
'He would most definitely not allow me return back if I tell him about the Scared Beast incident and the fight of that soul fragment of the Light of Destruction.'
"Interesting," murmured Haou before smirking. "I wouldn't mind having a duel with that Zane or that Aster boy you mentioned. You say they are Professional duelists, correct?"
Jaden nodded, "At first I sort of lose against Zane and Aster but when I duel them for the second time, I won."
Haou smiled before making an annoyed face, "If only I could have a 'private' meeting with that Professor of yours. What was his name again? Crowler?"
"Don't make it worse brother," begged Jaden before pouting a bit. "I mean he's not a bad teacher. He just…strict about his teaching, that's all."
"…Fine," murmured Haou. "Spoil my fun."
"You know it would be neat if you team up with Zane and duel against me and Syrus," said Jaden, excitedly. "Who will win? Older brothers or younger brothers?"
Haou thought for moment before chuckling. "Sounds…tempting. I will think about visiting the human dimension with you Jaden but we have to wait when Johan and Jesse comes back from the Dark World dimension."
Jaden smiled before widen his eyes, "J-Jesse?! He's here?!"
Haou blinked his eyes, "Yes. I guess I forgot to mention that he was taken to my stronghold in the Dark World where he will regain his own memories."
Jaden grinned before jumping up and down and grabbed onto Kuriboh. "Jesse is coming, Kuriboh! I can't wait!"
Aqua giggled before holding onto Jaden's shoulders. "Alright settle down. Your ankle shouldn't be getting that much pressure still. Now sit back down before you hurt your ankle any further."
Jaden rubbed his head, sheepishly before taking his seat again and continued off with his meal.
"Mind fetching some fresh clothes for us Aqua?" requested Haou before frowning. "I'm not walking back inside with just my towel."
"Of course," said Aqua before bowing and left the two brothers for the night.
-Break Line-
A little brotherly bonding and argument. Looks like Jaden is getting used to living with his brother minus the part on how he treats his prisoners. I wonder how Jaden will react when he reunites with Jesse but the question is, how will Jaden will react to know that his friends are there as well?
