Jaden: The Fallen Angel of Destruction

Chapter Seven

By KellyQ

Yubel couldn't help but smirk. She knew if she persuaded Cobra to switch Jaden's schedule, that delicious teen was going to be hers. Yubel couldn't help but lick her lips at the thought of kissing Jaden, and touching him. She looked up to see the Red Dorm coming into view. Yubel went up the steps and opened the door, not noticing that someone was stepping through. Yubel came to a halt when she saw that it was Jesse.

Jaden walked out of his room to see Yubel staring at Jesse with hate in her eyes. I don't see why she has to look at Jesse that way, he thought. "Hey, Yubel," he greeted her. "Listen. My foster dad is here to meet Jesse and my schedule got all messed up ..." he explained.

"Are you going to have a new trainer?" Yubel asked.

So that's what the paper was talking about, Jesse concluded. He looked back at Yubel, and could tell from her smug smile that she knew more than she was letting on.

"I'm not sure," Jaden said. "So I can't hang out right now. How about later when things are not so crazy?"

Yubel watched Jaden lace his fingers with Jesse's and guide his crush around her, not even looking back.

Pegasus smiled when he saw his old friend, Yami walk into the conference room. He hasn't changed a bit, Pegasus thought. His hair is as crazy as ever. They both sat down before a large table; in front of them were two cups of tea. A moment later the door opened and Jaden walked in with Jesse by his side.

Yami took a good look at Jesse before the passionate teen bowed low to the ground. When Yami stared into Jesse's eyes, he could see nothing but compassion and love.

Jaden chuckled nervously and scratched the back of head in embarrassment. How was he going to introduce Jesse? "Uhh ... Yami ... this is Jesse Anderson. Jesse this is my foster dad, Yami."

The tri-color - haired man nodded his head and watched Jesse rose to his feet. "It's a pleasure to met you, Mr. Anderson. Pegasus told me some good things about you," Yami started. He looked back at his foster son to see that Jaden look anxious. "And that you have a strong ... interest ... in my son."

Jaden blushed, but Jesse was on his knees again and took Yami's hand. "I only want to help and be there for him ..."

Yami stared down at Jesse and smiled. "You don't have to worry. You two have my approval." He couldn't help but chuckle at the last part and wink at his foster son.

Cobra walked into the principal's office expecting to see Shepard. But Banner was also there. Neither Jaden's trainer nor Shepered looked happy.

"Tell me the meaning of this? Why you want to train Jaden Yuki?" Shepard asked, watching Cobra sit down.

"He has a lot of potential, and I feel that with a different style of training, he'll become stronger."

Banner nodded his head. "He is one of my best students, but you must understand - training Jaden takes a lot of skill, and I'm sure with your busy schedule, you don't have time and patience to do that." he tried to explain, when he was starting to feel tense all over.

"You do want what's best for the boy, don't you ...?" Cobra pressed, waiting for Banner to answer.

Jaden's trainer's narrowed his eyes. I don't like this one bit, Banner thought. Besides, Jaden is not cut out have someone like Cobra to train him.

Shepard looked at both of them. "Well?"

"I guess it's alright. But if things get to complex for Jaden, he's back being my student," Banner spoke firmly.

Cobra rose to his feet and nodded his head as if to say that he understood, and walked out. Once Cobra was gone, Shepard looked back at Banner.

"I don't like this, Shepard. He's going to do more than train Jaden. He's going to use him," Banner explained.

"That's where you come in," Shepard said, trying to come up with something. "I need you to look after Jaden while he's under Cobra's training."

Banner nodded his head. "I don't think I'm going to be the only one looking after Jaden ..."

After Jaden and Jesse left the conference room, Yami turned to face his old friend. "I don't think Jesse's strong enough. The pure heart that Jesse has is the thing Haou likes to play with before he starts to play."

There was thick silence in the room before Pegasus spoke. "I didn't want to say this but there will be many casualties before things go back to normal."

"You're talking about Jaden ... aren't you?"

Pegasus shook his head. "My psychic abilities are not as strong as they use to be, so I can't say for sure ..."

Yami couldn't help but chuckle. "We are getting old," he teased. "But what did you see? Maybe we can help stop it."

Again, Pegasus shook his head. "What I saw was very vague, telling you now would be pointless. But I'll tell you one thing - Haou will wake up, so we need to keep our guard up."

Yubel looked up from where she was sitting on the steps of the Red Dorm, to see Jaden and Jesse walking up.

"I knew that Yami would take a liking to you - but he didn't have to be blunt about how close we are ..." Jaden ranted.

Jesse only smiled, despite how he felt. When Jesse first saw Yami, he felt threatened under the man's gaze. Jesse suspected that Yami was older than appeared. His eyes had a mythical reddish tint that held power. The rest of his expression was determined, and the vibes Jesse got were hostile. "He can be blunt as many times as he wants, but that wont stop me from being close to you." The passionate teen winked at the last part.

Jaden looked over at his crush to notice that Jesse looked a little uneasy. "Jess, are you alright?"

Yubel decided to straighten up, and flicked her hair back. She got to her feet and walked up with Jaden's new schedule in her hand.

"I have your new schedule, Jaden," she said, handing the paper over the brown haired teen.

Jesse watched the interaction between the two. He looked over Jaden's shoulder to see that Jaden had Cobra as his new trainer.

"Cobra? Who's that?" Jaden asked naively.

Yubel couldn't help but chuckle at how clueless Jaden was acting. She had to admit that it was cute. "He's my trainer. When I told him about you - he wanted to help you get stronger ..."

Weak ... Jaden flinched and stiffened, as an image of the possessed version of himself flashed before him. Yubel frowned when she noticed the sudden change in his eyes. Jesse noticed too, and rubbed Jaden's back tenderly.

"Jay ...?" Jesse called out softly, feeling Jaden's body starting to shake.

Yubel stared back at Jesse with focused anger. She stepped up and actually pushed the teen away. Why do I feel weak all of a sudden? Jaden thought. He didn't understand anything that was going on around him. His head hurt and rush of heat seemed to blur his vision. Jaden staggered for a moment before he collapsed against Yubel.

To Be continued ...

I was hoping to have chapter eight done and edited, but I didn't. My teacher and I didn't have time (I only have an hour) so next Tuesday will be chapter eight! It wont be long before things start to heat up!
