Jaden: The Fallen Angel of Destruction
Chapter 16
By KellyQ
Seto looked around the room and he raised a brow when he saw everyone. Shepered, Joey Wheeler, Marik, Bakura, Mai, Yami, and Maximillion Pegasus.
"This better be good ... wheeler," Seto said, giving his boyfriend an annoyed look. "I don't have time to take care of family issues and you know that."
Pegasus chuckled. "What's wrong, Kaiba-boy?" He taunted. "You don't look too happy to see us."
"Lets cut with the formalities and get to why you called us here, Shepered." Mai said.
"It's about Cobra. He's training Jaden Yuki without doing a back round check on the kid," Shepered explained.
Pegasus nodded his head. "And Banner is looking into where Cobra is now, so he could be brought in for questioning."
Yami narrowed his eyes. What do you hope to gain training Jaden? Then the realization hit him and his eyes widened. "He's after Haou!" All his friends stared wide eyed at Yami.
Tension filled the room. They all heard the story about Haou from Yami and Yugi. He was nothing byt a ruthless man, who had a special ability to jump from human to human. His sister, Yubel was slightly different. She had her own ways of getting what she wanted and it was Jaden that she always wanted. The thing Yubel wasn't aware of, was that Haou wanted Jaden also.
Seto grumbled. "So you want me to fire him, and kick Cobra off the island, is that it?"
Yami sighed. He knew it wasn't going to be easy to convince Seto to help. Joey, on the other hand had his ways of convincing his boyfriend. He smirked and pulled out what looked like a choker and leash.
Joey dangled it right in front of Seto. "Do you see dis, Kaiba? I'll wear dis - including the dog ears to sweeten' de deal!" To prove that he was going to wear the ears, Joey placed them on his head.
Seto couldn't help but smirk. "Wow, I didn't know that I trained you to be such a good boy."
The hallway was quiet as the door to Jaden's room opened. The brown haired teen poked his head out and he looked around for anyone. Jaden opened the door wider and limped over to the main doors. So far so good, he thought, making his way to the doors.
"Jay?"
Jaden froze. He knew that voice. He turned around to see that it was Syrus. He had a worried look on his face. "Sy? What are you doing up?"
The younger teen bit the bottom of his lip. "I've been worried about you, Jay."
Jaden smiled at his best friend. "You don't have to worry about me, I'll be alright."
A snicker came from the other side of the hallway. They both turned their heads to see Chazz walking up.
"Chazz?"
"It's The Chazz," the young Princeton corrected. He eyed Jaden for a moment. "You're not going anywhere in your condition, slacker."
"Yeah. You should rest. You can't help Jesse in your condition," Syrus pointed out.
Jaden sighed. "Look. I appreciate that you care. But this is my responsibility." He was really starting to get a little irritated that Chazz and Syrus were stalling him.
Chazz narrowed his eyes. "You're not strong enough to take on anyone right now," he said, stating the obvious. "And if you're going after who I think you're going after, you might as well quit now."
Jaden's expression darkened as he growled. "So what if I'm weak! Jesse needs my help, and I'm not going to stand by and do nothing!"
Chazz rolled his eyes. "Then why do you think we're here?"
"To make sure that I stay in bed and not do anything stupid, right?" Jaden responded sarcastically. "Look. I don't have time for this," he said trying to keep Haou from taking control of his body.
"W-we just want to help, Jay," Syrus said meekly. He could tell that his best friend was starting to get angry.
Chazz saw it to. "Listen to me Jaden, Cobra and that chick who has a thing for you are not the people you want to go up against on your own. But if you can get past me in a spar, I won't tell Yami you're doing something ridiculous. Deal?"
The offer was tempting. "I'd love to see how much stronger I've gotten but I don't have time for this! Will you just let me through?" Chazz growled and threw a punch in Jaden's direction. The brown haired teen caught his fist and started to crush it. "I'd rather not hurt you," Jaden growled. Chazz gasped in pain and shock with he saw the yellowish – red possessed eyes. "Considering you don't mind bring pain and humiliation to people too " without warning, Chazz felt pain through his body.
Syrus tried to pull them apart, but he felt a shocking sensation run through his body and he collapsed right onto the floor. His tiny glasses cracked and shattered into small fragments.
Chazz narrowed his eyes. This is not my friend, he thought. A thick vine shot out and whacked Haou hard on the back, knocking the wind out of him. Chazz managed to push Jaden, long enough for the vine to wrap around the brown haired teen.
As soon as Jaden caught his breath, he glared at Chazz. The young Princeton glared back. "I hate to do this to you slacker ..." Before Jaden knew what happened, he was hit hard across the back of the head, causing him to lose consciousness.
