Jaden: The fallen Angel of Destruction

Chapter 21

By KellyQ

Cobra growled inwardly and glanced at the boy in the glass states chamber. My son ... he thought. The imposing man didn't get far with his thought when the glass prism Jesse was in started to crack and shatter. Haou looked down to see that the turquoise-haired teen was free. Finally, he thought staring at Jesse's delicious body. Jaden noticed that his boyfriend was free. A sudden urge to hold Jesse was strong, and warmth filled his body, thinking about the turquoise-haired teen.

"Jesse!"

Yubel smiled for a moment when she saw that Jaden had finally taken control of his body. It looks like I've got my work cut out for me, she thought, watching the brown-haired teen fuss over his boyfriend.

Jaden knelt down beside Jesse and noticed that the turquoise-haired teen was in bad shape. The bruises on Jesse's body looked worse close-up than he was a few moments ago. "Jess ...?" He murmured.

Jaden, came Yubel's voice telepathically. I need for you and Mr. Anderson to get out of here ... Jaden's head shot up and he stared at her for a moment with slight shock. Did she finally understand how he felt about Jesse? As if she was to read his thought, Yubel smiled sadly at Jaden. I do admit that I was jealous and my first impression was that Jesse caused you to forget me, but he didn't. Jaden's expression softened. He was glad she understood how he felt.

The happy reunion was short lived when they heard a hissing from their right. Jaden was the first to turn his head to see the remaining snake slither toward Jesse. Haou immediately took control of Jaden's body; the possessed teen scooped Jesse in his arms and dashed to the door. The snake slithered toward them but Yubel's eyes flashed and the snake halted and hissed at her.

"What are you doing, Yubel?" Cobra barked. "You agreed to help me if I helped you get what you desired!"

The young woman chuckled and closed her eyes. "It doesn't mater. I have all the power that's needed to revive your son."

Cobra stared at her. "What are you talking about?" the imposing man bellowed.

By this point, Haou had successfully escaped with Jesse in his arms, without Yubel and Cobra noticing.

Bastion and Taniya looked up to see a helicopter descending down. The two stepped back as the copter landed and Seto was the first to hop out. The next person was Chazz, wearing all white. Yami was next, then Marik and Bakura. The people who came out last were 2Zane and Aster. Taniya felt awkward tension as Chazz stared at Bastion.

"We'd better get started," Zane said, cutting the tension down.

"R - right. I have the latest hacking software," Bastion informed, holding a nice sleek briefcase.

"Follow me," Seto urged.

The gang followed the CEO into Kaiba Corps to the elevator. Once they piled in, Bastion eyed Chazz again. The British teen couldn't help but think that the young Princeton looked stunning.

"So, what's with the white outfit?" he finally asked.

"Oh. You finally noticed?" Chazz smirked, fixing the coller on his trench coat. The elevator came to a stop and the door opened to reveal Seto's main room that controlled the satellites. "I have a new trainer named Satorious," the young Princeton explained as he followed the gang to the computer. "And all his students have to wear white. Cool huh?"

Jaden ran down the hallway and he came to door that was ajar. He looked down at his boyfriend for a brief moment. Jaden turned slightly and used his weight to push the door open. A crisp of cold air blew across his face, telling him that he was outside - or so he thought. Once he stepped further in, it turned out to be another room - that smelled like death. Jaden stepped back when he felt Jesse started to shiver. He stared down at his boyfriend to see that Jesse was slowly waking up.

"Jesse!" Jaden cried, holding his boyfriend close.

"J - Jay ...?" the turquoise-haired teen responded in a hoarse voice. The brown-haired teen sat Jesse down. "W - what's going on?"

"Y - you don't remember anything?" Jaden asked, his voice full of worry.

Jesse looked down as he tried to cover his bruised chest with his torn shirt. Haou growled in the back of Jaden's mind. This is not good! Cobra must've weakened him. Jaden bit his lower lip.

"Jess ..? What did Cobra do to you?" he asked softly. The turquoise-haired teen only shivered in response. Jesse didn't want to remember what he went through with Cobra. Jaden pulled his boyfriend close. "I'm sorry, Jess! This is all my fault you got hurt!"

Jesse only smiled. "You're here now, right? You came and that's good enough for me."

Jess ... Jaden thought. The brown-haired teen smiled and nodded his head. "Come on, lets get out of here and get you to the hospital."

Jesse shivered again. "I'd rather go back to Duel Academy."

"So do I, but I don't know where we are. When I found you, you were floating five feet in the air," Jaden explained with awe in his voice. "I think we got transported to someplace else -" the brown-haired teen paused when he saw that Jesse looked paler than normal. "Jess ... what's wrong?"

"I ... I just don't feel good ..." Jesse moaned.

"Which is all the more reason to get to the hospital," Jaden urged.

"I - I think I got enough energy to get us away from here." Jesse rose to his feet with Jaden's help.

"Yeah ... but if you do that, won't you turn into a crystal again?"

Jesse bit his lower lip. He wanted to tell his boyfriend everything, but he didn't want Haou to know anything more than what he did know. "When I expand my energy, my body will go into repair mode afterwards."

More awe flashed across Jaden's brown orbs. He couldn't help but stare at his boyfriend. Jaden had a strong desire to touch Jesse's scar on his chest. "You - you truly are amazing," Jaden murmured, reaching out to clutch Jesse's hand that was keeping his torn shirt in place. Jaden then kissed Jesse's bruised hand. "Now. Let's get out of here, and when we get back to school I'll take good care of you, I promise!" Besides, this is all my fault that you got hurt! Haou just snickered in response.

Jesse smile at his boyfriend, feeling new energy flood through his body. He nodded his head and touched the scar on his chest. Jaden and Haou watched as Jesse's body started to glow. Right then Haou decided to pull Jesse close and stared into his eyes.

"I know another spot besides Duel Academy," Haou murmured seductively. "A place where no one can bother us."
