(Last time this message appears before the story)
Okay, first these stories were posted once already. But I no longer have that account and would like to still have them… they are mine after all.
Having said that, these two stories are almost the same. Almost. "The World is Black" and "Depression Kills," those are the names of them. First yes they are older but I don't care. That aside, they are two version of Jack's abused past and they have two separate yet similar tellings. They are both fairly angst ridden. They're first chapters are the same.
If you like a little bit of angst and happiness too, not to mention straight couples than try Depression Kills. If you like heavy angst and don't mind yaoi then read Perfect Happiness… whoops (how that get in there?), I mean the World is Black. Or you could read them both and tell me what you like better. Whatever you end up doing at least read one of them and leave a review. It would be really nice anyway.
So without further ado-

Ch.3- hospitals
Jack awoke to the stark whiteness and bright lights of the hospital room. He groaned, screwing his eyes shut, trying to block out the offending white light.
"Jack," CB sighed as sat in the armchair by the bed.
"Wha? No hospitals please no hospitals," Jack moaned. He opened his eyes and tried quickly to adjust to the bright whiteness. He had extreme fear of hospitals dating back from when he was younger. He spent too much time in them.
In his fuss he tried desperately to get out of that bed and in doing so he almost landed on the ground. Luckily CB caught him before he could do a face plant on the ground... again.
He whined in CB's arms and tried again his desperate plight but CB held fast.
"You need to stay in bed," CB stated and quickly and quietly lay him back in.
"No, please, no hospitals, you know I hate hospitals!" Jack pleaded as the Xiaolin Dragons came into the room. Jack couldn't see them from behind the curtain.
CB didn't say anything. He just turned to face the Dragons coming in.
"Hey, Jack," Kimiko said, trying to break the ice.
"What do you want from me?" Jack asked unconcerned.
"You almost died and you ask us what we want from you!" Clay asked in disbelief.
Jack thought about for a whole of two seconds and then said, "Yes."
"Why you..." Clay yelled at him but didn't finish that sentence.
"Look, I'm your enemy I cause nothing but trouble," Jack explained, not looking at them, "and you saved me? Smells a little more than fishy to me."
"Jack, they said that you said you don't want anymore shen-gong-wu so you're not our enemy," Omi stated.
"And even if you were an enemy or not we wouldn't just let you to die," Kimiko added.
"Why?" Jack asked her quite seriously.
"Why? Do you even have to ask that question! We just don't let someone die," Kimiko told getting a little angry wringing her hands instinctively.
"You wouldn't kill someone either?" Jack asked turning to face her.
"Definitely not!" Raimundo shot.
"Then go away I'm not worth your effort," Jack told them and closed his eyes hoping that would make them leave.
After several minutes of silence they got the hint and left. The monks were satisfied with Jack's answer but CB wasn't. He knew exactly what Jack was talking about and was thinking about telling them some of Jack's past.
Well? Like it hate; please review!
