Chapter 12 : Haou or Jesse?

Jaden ran to his bluenet, as everyone else was frozen. The brunet knelt at his side, and gently picked his head to put it on his legs. Jaden started stroking his hair, desperately calling his name. But Jesse was totally unconscious. Though, Jaden could see his chest rising. He's still alive... but then what did Diablo do to him? Wait a minute... He became... But then, was it...? Jaden felt his darker part being hit with realization. Before he could ask what meant, the gold-eyed brunet screamed GET AWAY FROM HIM JADEN!

At the same moment, Jesse's eyes shot open making Jaden gasped. They were completely pitch black! He grabbed Jaden, and pulled him on the ground, the bluenet towering over him. Jaden blushed, but shivered when he saw an evil smirk crossed his face. Two hands suddenly came around his throat, and started choking him. Jaden looked at his lover in disbelief.

"Jess, why...?" he managed to choke out.

Jaden this is not Jesse...

What do you mean? However, it was 'Jesse' who answered.

"My, My Angel, did your brother not tell you about a special ability of mine? What a shame..." Jaden's eyes widened.

"This voice... no... That can't be true... "

"Yes it is! I, Diablo, is now possessing this human body! And know now, little vampire, that only the artifact you desire can make me leave this body! "

Jaden felt his heart stopped. The artifact can only be used once... so it's mean... I have to choose between giving his body back to my brother and saving my love? He winced when Diablo applied more pressure on his neck. Jaden would have kicked him away if it wasn't Jesse's body. How could he fight now? He couldn't hurt the bluenet!

A blur of brown flashed, and Jesse was sent flying backward. Jaden looked up to see Cobalt eagle glaring directly in the eyes of his possessed master.

The others were around him, too. Firion looked at him.

"I know you can't hurt him, none of us really can, but it's no reason to let him kill you!" He lectured him. Jaden stood up and nodded.

"But what now?"

"Well, it's up to you and your brother." He raised his hand, showing he had the artifact, which look like an egg. "We took it while you were kneeling with Jesse..." He put the artifact in the brunet's hand. "Speak with Haou, we'll occupy him." With that, he and Ashera started attacking him, to make him back away.

Jaden looked at the ground, clutching the egg looking artifact.

Jaden, I know you wanted to help me have back my body, because you felt responsible to my death as Sephirot. But there's nothing to discuss here. I can still live in you, Jesse will eventually disappear if Diablo stay in him too long.

But Haou... Can't I save both of you?

Jaden don't be stupid, you know you can't sa-Wait a minute. Maybe you can.

Really? How?

You'll have to trust me on this, little brother...

After assuring him he would always trust him, and hearing Haou's plan, Jaden raised his head, fire of determination in his eyes. He took the egg with both hands, pressing it against his heart. Haou appeared, and put his hand on top of his. The egg started glowing. The light was so intense that everyone had to stop fighting and shield their eyes. When the light vanished, along with the artifact, Haou was still standing in front of Jaden, but he was in flesh. He was in his own body. Diablo smirked.

"So this is your choice..." He stopped and frowned when he saw the smirk the two were giving him. Feeling something was wrong; he growled and took a fighting position. But he was very surprised when Jaden walk calmly toward him, his head low.

"Everyone, stand back. It's still Jesse's body..." The others took steps back, as confused as the demon.

Said demon became dizzy, and his eyes grew wide when he spotted a sword going right through his heart. He looked behind him, only to see Haou there, clutching the sword, his eyes glowing gold. Jaden raised his head, his own eyes glowing crimson.

"... and we want his soul back, you filthy demon!"

Jaden's pearl white fang show out, and he bit the neck of his lover body. Diablo felt his strength slowly vanishing while the vampire drank the blood. He then felt darkness entering his body. One look at Haou told him it was the supreme king's darkness. And everything clicked in his mind. Jaden was weakening him so Haou could introduce his darkness in him through the sword. This darkness could throw him out of the bluenet's body. And to do this, they needed to be separate. They had planned everything.

Before he could try to struggle, a sharp pain erupted in his chest. He yelped. The two brothers looked at each other, and back away from him, taking out the sword in the process. No blood came, no wound either, it was a dark magic only Haou could do. Diablo fell to his knee, feeling a sudden dark force overpowering him. He then heard a voice in his head.

It feels so good to become alive... But now I have to do what my creator wants... Your soul is mine, demon!

A dark red glow surrounded the bluenet, while the demon screamed loudly. Dark fire turned around him. A powerful wave was sent, and Diablo was thrown out of Jesse's body. Jaden rushed to catch him, while Haou looked at Diablo, who was now in his own body. The other just stared, astonished. The demon rose, his body shivering. He panted. Haou was ready to battle him, but was surprised to see him fell down on his knee, screaming. The same fire started burning him. A firestorm blocked the view of the demon, and when it vanished, everyone dropped their jaws open.

Because in Diablo's place was a Jesse-look-alike. When he stood up fully and stretched his arms, they all saw he had the same hairs, darker through, and orange eyes. He was dressed in a tight sleeveless tank top and tight black pants with a sleeveless long dark blue coat. He had arm bands. His body was like Jesse, only more muscular. He grinned at them, and his eyes glowed a little when he saw Haou. In a second, he was behind him, hugging by the waist. Haou blushed and tried to pray him away. The other just chuckled.

"Don't be shy with me, master!" Haou stopped at this.

"Huh?" The bluenet looked at him with a loving gaze.

"When you used your darkness to thrown the demon away, it got mixed with the dark part of Jesse's soul and make me have my own mind. Then I possessed him and I burned Diablo's soul to make my own body. I'm Jehu, and I'm your eternal servant." He purred at him. Haou raised an eyebrow, and blushed hard when Jehu suddenly kissed him. And blushed even more when he felt he didn't want to push him back, instead responding to it.

Jaden chuckled, happy for his brother.

"Ugh..." Jaden looked down, only to see Jesse opening his eyes. He smiled, relieved, and hugged him tightly. Jesse was surprised, but then he recovered and hugged him back.

Ashera and Firion look at the four, a smile on their face. And blushed a dark red when Jehu exclaimed (after breaking apart with Haou), "And now time for you to kiss too!"

Haou whacked him on the head and murmered "Idiot..." But his small smile gave away he liked Jehu's personality.

They all went to Ashera's house, drinking in happiness. They slept here, though four people didn't really sleep at first, judging by the loud moan coming from two rooms. And the morning after, Ashera sent them back to their world.

The gang was happy to see them, and listened to their story. Everything was fine now.
