Jaden: The Fallen Angel of Destruction
Chapter Eleven
By Kellyq
"Jesse!" Jaden ran up and checked his secret crush over. He could tell that the turquoise-haired teen was in pain. "Jess, are you alright?"
"Jaden," Yubel called out. She walked up and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Cobra is waiting."
The brown haired teen gave the young woman a frown. "Give me a moment. Can't you see that Jesse is in pain?"
Yubel watched the two, and moved her hand away. Now don't worry, Jaden. I won't let Cobra hurt you too badly but if it's helps me get closer to you, then I'll do it. "Jay ... Cobra's not want you distracted with friends during your training, so I'd suggest you stop hanging around Jesse."
Jaden's expression hardened. No! I'm not going to do that! "Tell Cobra I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
Yubel sighed. "Alright. But Cobra will not approve of this," she warned.
With that Yubel walked away. She couldn't help but smirk again. I could use Cobra to help me get rid of Jesse like Marcel is doing. It won't be long, Jaden. Soon, you'll be all mine.
Jaden looked back at Jesse, and started to bombard him with questions.
"I'm alright, Jay," the dark-green-haired teen reassured.
Jaden narrowed his eyes when he stared at the tear on Jesse's shirt. The way he was trying to cover the tear, made it look like Jesse was hiding something on his flawless body. Jaden took hold of Jesse's wrist and pulled his hand away. Chocolate brown eyes widened at the sight of the scar.
"Is that a scar or a birthmark?" Jaden breathed. He was entranced of the beautiful mark on Jesse's chest. Jaden had a strong desire to run his finger over the scar. "It's beautiful, Jess. But if it's giving you pain, we should have it looked at."
Jesse only smiled. "It helps protect me and the person I'm with."
Very interesting, Haou mused.
Jaden wanted to admit it was interesting, too. "I better get going." With that, Jaden turned and started to walk away.
Jesse frowned. "I'm coming with you, Jaden!"
"I'd rather you didn't," Jaden murmured. I want to keep you safe. He started to walk again, but stopped when Jesse stood right in front of him.
"We're doing this together, Jay!" Jesse's voice betrayed his agitation.
"I don't want you to get hurt, Jess. Yubel might be there ..."
"I don't care about that! I'm more worried about you training with Cobra," Jesse said in frustration as he reached out to clutch Jaden's hand. "But you made a choice, and I promised to support it."
An uneasy feeling came in the bottom of Jaden's stomach.
You know he can take care of himself ... so why not let him come?
Jaden tightened his grip on Jesse's hand. "Thanks, Jess. You're one of the only people who dosen't think I'm worthless."
Jesse stared right into Jaden's eyes. "Who ever said that is wrong, and you know it. There's plenty of people who care - you've got Syrus, Blair" Jesse stopped in mid sentence. "The princess! I left her standing at Prince Marcel's bedroom door!"
Jaden smiled. "Go help her."
"Are you sure you're going to be alright?" Jesse asked.
A smile made it's way to Jaden's lips as he cupped Jesse's face and gave him a quick kiss. Before Jaden could pulled away, Jesse deepened the kiss. He wrapped his arms around Jaden, pulling him closer. After a moment, they both stared at each other. An overwhelming feeling of love came over them, and Jaden had a sudden urge to say: I love you, Jess. But Jesse beat him to the punch by saying something else.
"I'll find you after I help Princess Blair," Jesse promised.
Jaden nodded and watched his crush run in the direction of the main school building.
The training room was the room Jaden and Chazz used before. Cobra raised an eyebrow at the sight of Jaden. The brown haired teen shivered slightly under the man's piercing gaze.
"You must be Jaden Yuki," Cobra said firmly. "Yubel said that you wanted to become stronger. And you get distracted easily when you have friends around. I will not allow this type of behavior - is that understood?" Jaden nodded his head. "Good. Now show me what you can do."
"Alright ..." Jaden tried his Solar Flare attack first.
Cobra moved out of the way before the attack came in contact with the floor, creating a crater. The professor moved right behind Jaden and kicked the teen in the back. Jaden yelped in pain and found him self flying across the room.
Jaden landed painfully on his back. He propped himself up on his elbows and stared at Cobra. "That hurt! What's the deal?"
"You need to stay focused, and attack me," Cobra insisted.
Blair was walking down the hallway when she heard footsteps coming toward her direction. The princess turned to see Jesse running up.
He stopped to catch his breath. "I'm sorry for deserting you, princess."
Blair smiled. "It's okay. Is Jaden alright?"
"I hope so. He's training with Cobra right now ..."
The princess frowned. "Why didn't you go with him?"
Jesse blinked. "I thought you might mind - I did say I was going to help you find Marcel."
Blair cupped Jesse's face and smiled. "Don't worry about it - Jaden needs you more than I do," she said, and removed her hands from Jesse's face. "Now got to him."
"Are you sure?" Jesse asked.
The princess nodded her head ...
Blair stared at the double doors to the library. This is the only place I haven't checked, she thought. The princess opened the door, and slowly walked in. The room was dark saved by a soft flicker of light. Blair made her way to the light, and found Marcel sitting casually at a long desk. A set of candles were placed on the table, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Blair gulped as she stepped closer. "Marcel?"
The prince's eyes looked up from what he was doing, and gave her a cold stare. "What do you want?"
Blair bit her bottom lip, trying to come up with the right words to say. "I just want to understand why you're treating me like this. Did I do something wrong?"
"Why should I explain anything to you?"
Emotion flickered in Blair's eyes. "So you'd rather tell a person you hardly know than tell me? I know you better than anyone, Marcel! If you'd let me ..."
Before she could finish, Marcel rose to his feet and walked up to Blair. He put his cold hand around her throat. "Yubel was right about you. You are annoying," he said, tightening his grip on her throat. "And it's none of your business what friends I make - is that clear?" Blair nodded, her eyes clouded over with fear. "Now get out," Marcel hissed in disgust.
After Blair watched Jesse run back to find Jaden, she finally allowed the tears fall. Why? She thought. Do you really hate me that much? No! I'm not going to sit by and let that bitch poison you anymore than she already has. I'll find away to save you! I'll prove that there are people who love you!
