Chapter 4: Jaden's past

"Jaden!" exclaimed Chazz rushing to the brunette's side. "What happened to you!?"

"It's nothing!" retorted Jaden trying to move away but to no avail. "If I just rest a little while I'm sure I'll be fine. It doesn't matter if Chazz or anybody helps me or not!"

"H-hey! I'm just trying to help! And you need it!"

"Ch-Chazz…"

Before Jaden could say anything else he passed out completely and wouldn't respond to anything Chazz said. Quickly Chazz scooped up the brunette and brought him into the apartment. Once inside Chazz laid Jaden down in bed and covered the unconscious familiar with a blanket. Jaden didn't stir for an hour which was starting to worry Chazz so he grabbed his cell and called Jim and the others for help.

"Come on, pick up," prayed Chazz until someone picked up.

" Ello? This is Jim Cook speaking," stated Jim.

"Jim! Thank god! I need you help! Jaden got into some fight and is in pretty bad shape. Plus he hasn't woken up since I found him and that was an hour ago!" explained Chazz frantically.

"All right mate calm down and listen carefully," said Jim.

"All right I'm listening," replied Chazz calming down.

"Is his pulse still going?"

"Yes, I checked it 5 minutes ago. It's there but it's very slight."

"Okay, first I need you to take his shirt off."

"WHAT!?"

"Don't ask questions just do it!"

Blushing bright red Chazz cautiously removed Jaden's shirt. Although he couldn't help but notice Jaden's body.

"Hello? CHAZZ!!" shouted Jim.

"Gak! Yeah!? What do I do next?" asked Chazz.

"Do you see the symbol on his chest where his heart is?"

"Yeah?"

"Place your hand on that mark and chant the words that come to you."

"Okay."

Chazz then placed his hand over where Jaden's heart was and closed his eyes.

" All right, here I go," said Chazz. "I call upon the ancient forces near and far to answer my plead. Heal Jaden, my familiar so that he may become himself once again! Transform thyself and heal the wounds that he has sustained!"

Within seconds a huge white light consumed Jaden causing Chazz to step back and drop his cell. Once the light died down Jaden looked as good as new and was starting to stir.

"Ugh.. huh? Wha? What happened?" questioned Jaden until he saw that he was shirtless. "EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!! DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS CHAZZ!!"

"C-calm down it was necessary in order to help you blubbered Chazz crawling backwards until he accidently pressed his hand against the speaker button of his cell.

"CHAZZ!! ANSWER ME!! PICK UP YOU DUM DUM!!" roared Jim over the phone.

"Ah! Sorry Jim!" replied Chazz snatching up his phone. "Yes Jaden's fine. Okay, thanks for the help, bye."

After hanging up Chazz noticed that Jaden was staring intently at him. It was starting to creep Chazz out a bit.

"Um, look sorry about the shirt thing okay? I really am," apologized Chazz. "Geeze how long is he gonna stare at me like that? No offense but it's kinda creepy now."

"I know, I'm sorry for over reacting earlier as well," said Jaden pulling up the bed sheets to cover his chest. "You aren't going to return me are you?"

"No, why would I want to do that anyway?" questioned Chazz. "Poor Jaden looks like he's going to cry now. I guess that's to be expected, he probably hasn't cried for awhile anyway."

"Because I'm not strong enough."

"Jaden look at me."

The brunette nervously turned towards Chazz and was quickly embraced by the black haired teen. A second later Jaden realized that Chazz was crying when he felt tears falling on his head.

"Why are you crying Chazz?" asked Jaden innocently while looking up at his master.

"Because I thought…I thought I was going to lose you, I thought that I wouldn't be able to see you eyes open again," sobbed Chazz continuing to cry. "I thought that I was going to lose you, that you were going to die."

"You did?"

"Yes, and don't you think for a second that I would ever return you okay? I truelly care for you deeply Jaden, and well I've fallen in love with you."

"Chazz, I don't know what to save but I feel that I can trust you and open up completely to you as well."

"You mean you'll tell me about your past?"

"Uh-huh, but I'm not sure about my feelings towards you Chazz so can you wait?"

"It's okay I can wait. But what about your past?"

"Well first of all, I'm a man made familiar. I was turned into a familiar against my will when I was 16."

"Who did that to you?"

"Aster Phoenix, he was in love with me like you but the trouble was that I turned him down and he couldn't accept that. So one night he kidnapped me and turned me into a familiar using an old slayer transformation ritual."

"God, did it hurt a lot being turned into a famliar?"

"Considering that I was being turned into completely different being so then body had to change its biological make-up, it was excruciating painful. I was probably screaming loud enough for the next town over to hear me."

"I see, sorry I asked."

"Don't be. But lucky for me Sytorious and a group of other slayers came in and saved me before Aster could form a pact with me. But it was alredy too late to reverse what had been done to me and Sytorious wasn't sure if I would completely recover. Also even if I did recover completely they didn't know what to do with me since it was their first time dealing with a man made familiar since many years ago."

"Must have been rough for you."

"It was but everyone was very comforting about my situation so I didn't feel stressed. My brothers Haou and Jesse never trusted Aster again after what happened to me and Aster was suspended from the slayers for what he did. Sytorious later suggested that I get officially registered as a familiar and get partnered up with someone but…"

"But what?" asked Chazz curiously. "Sounds like Jaden has had a pretty bad start from the beginning."

"the Slayer who first took me in was unkind and an alcoholic. I ran away one day back to the familiar department and was reinstated. My next master wasn't as unkind, but he overworked me. It caused me to feel stressed, which in turn made me very sick. I was near death when I was brought back to the department."

"Didn't your slayer ever bring you in?"

"No he never did. That was why I was near death when he finally brought me in to be looked at. Sytorious was furious and stated that the slayer was unfit to keep me any longer and reinstated me as soon as I was better. The next slayers just didn't spend enough time with me so I felt lonely. I desperately needed companionship. At one point I even attempted to kill myself because I felt so lonely."

"He must have been really lonely if he tried to kill himself. Poor Jaden."

"But then Sheppard came along. I didn't trust him at first like you, but he was kind and cared for me until he felt that I was ready to go on missions again. With every mission I got stronger and soon I was the envy of all the other slayers and familiars. I was so happy, I thought that nothing could be better than the life I was living, that was until Sheppard went into retirement."

"What happened? Didn't you go with him?"

"I tried to convince Sytorious to let me go into retirement with Sheppard, but he said I couldn't because I had been registered as a familiar for a year so I couldn't go into retirement with Sheppard. I never saw Sheppard again after that day and my life went spiraling downward. I thought that I'd never be happy again until I met you Chazz."

"Do you mean that Jaden?"

"It's from the bottom of my heart Chazz and I do mean it. You taught me how to trust again Chazz and you've renewed my joy in life as well."

Chazz smiled and embraced the brunette again, more tightly this time. He wanted for both him and Jaden to grow stronger together and inside he wanted to protect Jaden for the rest of his life.

Me: Yay chapter 4 is done!

Chibi-Chaos: Now we're all happy!

Chazz: Yeah, it was a pretty good chapter.

Chibi-Chaos & Me: You're only saying that because you saw Jaden shirtless.

Chazz: No! Where's Jaden by the way?

Chibi-Chaos: Haou borrowed him for a minute.

Me: Something about a costume.

Haou: We're back. (Drags Jaden in.)

Jaden: Do I have to wear this!? (Wearing bunnysuit)

Chazz: Gak! (Nosebleed)

Jaden: Oh god.

Me & Chibi-Chaos: Don't forget to review.

Haou: I've got a costume for Jesse in the next chapter already.
