What happened in the dark

Chapter 16

Jaden Yuki woke up to a strange sensation, when he opened his eyes, he was vaguely aware of an arm draped across his chest and a hand resting lazily against his stomach. After a couple of minutes spent enjoying the feeling, he finally remembered what had happened the night before. He gently lifted the arm that had been keeping him warm and used his own arms to push him up, trying his best to make as little noise as possible.

Before he could so much as move, Jaden felt something sticky on the sheets, of course, Jaden being the teenager he was, the first thing that his thought's travelled to was, 'we didn't…?' he lifted the covers a little to make sure that he was still wearing his jeans, upon seeing the blue material he couldn't help but smile.

"Wait, if it wasn't …" the brunette peeled back the covers and the sight that greeted him turned his stomach. There was a sticky pool of dried blood soaked into the once white under sheets of Chazz's bed.

Jaden stared at the blankets for a minute; his mind kept drawing blanks. Suddenly it dawned on the brunette what had happened, 'he was shot' he thought finally realizing that he should check on Chazz. "Oh shit, don't tell me this is happening!" Jaden roared clambering off of the bed as quickly as he could, he pulled down the sheets and was ready to puke at what he saw.

The sheets were soaked in a bright, coppery red substance; even Jaden who wasn't the smartest of people knew exactly what it was.

The brunette stood for a few minutes in shock, his eyes focused upon the now-stained blankets, the gravity of the scene before him was ignored. Chazz was even paler than normal, which for someone that pasty was practically impossible, his dark ebony hair clashed with the crimson of the blood and the stark whiteness of his skin.

Finally the brunette awoke from his stupor and leaned down to check if Chazz was even breathing, fortunately for Jaden Chazz was breathing, but barely. "Shit" he breathed before he bundled Chazz into his arms, attempting to move the raven as gently as he could, not wanting to cause his boyfriend anymore discomfort than necessary.

Jaden attempted to manoeuvre across the room and open the door, which, considering that he was carrying chazz in his arms was more than difficult.

When the two finally emerged from within the confines of Chazz's dorm Jaden closed it behind them (with difficulty) and the brunette then took off jogging in the direction of the main academy building.

After what seemed like an eternity to Jaden they finally reached the front of the academy, and for the first time in his life the brunette was truly grateful for the sliding doors. As he stepped into the building he noted a strange lack of people, normally the main building would have students, some teachers or even the cleaners walking around it, but today it seemed eerily empty, the brunette found it unnerving.

Making his way through the building Jaden soon found himself staring at the door to Ms. Fontaine's office. As if his presence were sensed the door swung open and Jaden found himself face to face with a rather bedraggled looking Syrus.

The little bluenettes eyes slowly widened and Jaden could see tears in the corners that were threatening to spill.

"Jaden! Where were you?" the blunette wailed as he pulled him inside the door, "he's back, guys he's here" Syrus shouted into the room, waking the people that had fallen asleep inside the room.

"What about Chazz?" a voice whispered, "Jaden has him" Syrus whispered, any relief that had been in his voice was now replaced with worry.

"Where's my koi-kohai? (1)" Atticus said standing up as Jaden laid Chazz out on the bed for Ms. Fontaine to check over.

"Where were you?" Syrus said quietly, the bluenette asked the one question everyone else had been too nervous to ask. Jaden turned to face Syrus and smiled weakly, "I was in Chazz's room" he said attempting to stop his voice from shaking.

The brunette didn't want to ever think about the abandoned dorm and what had happened to him inside of it ever again; just as long as he didn't have to deal with Slade he would be fine.

"Mr. Princeton, yes, we found him" Jaden stared in disbelief at Atticus who stood in the entryway to the room talking to one, tall, ebony haired Princeton. Jaden eyes widened even further if possible when Jagger pushed him out of the way so he could stare down at his brothers' unmoving body, which at the moment was being examined by a rather frantic Fonda Fontaine.

As he stared at the body of his little brother Jagger felt the edges of his eyes burn with tears that were threatening to fall. In one night two of his brothers had been injured, and one seemed to be in pretty bad shape.

Jaden watched the man standing before his lover's bed warily, he still didn't know if he was like Slade, but the brunette didn't want to take any chances when it came to the Princeton's. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Jaden shrieked when he came face to face with one Jagger Princeton who looked like he was ready to kill anyone who dared oppose him in whatever he was about to do.

"What did you do with Chazz last night?" he said growling at Jaden, his whole demeanour radiated anger. The brunette flinched but stood his ground, he didn't want to show weakness in front of Jagger, after all, he could have been involved in what happened to Chazz.

"I spent the night with him in his bed why?" Jaden whispered, leaning in close, "after all it shouldn't matter to either of you bastards, unless you're jealous" Jaden whispered harshly, hoping that Fontaine wouldn't catch his cruel words. Jaden smirked to himself when he spotted the expression that appeared on Jagger's face. But before the middle Princeton brother could respond Ms. Fontaine interrupted them.

"I'm sorry, Chazz has lost a lot of blood, and unfortunately we don't have any O negative blood, we have to have Chazz transported to the main land, there's a helicopter on the roof waiting for him" she said before disappearing into the room behind them for a minute.

Both Jaden and Jagger stood facing each other, knowing that only one would be able to accompany Chazz, and of course Jagger took it upon himself to smirk, since he was family it was obvious that it was him who would be accompanying Chazz.

Jaden looked at the man that stood before him as if he were nothing more than something unpleasant that he had found on the sole of his shoe. While he was sure that Fontaine wouldn't be returning for a little while he leaned in close to Jagger and ground out a warning; "if you try and hurt Chazz, you better hope that I don't find you", no sooner had the words left the brunettes mouth did Fonda Fontaine appear clad in a warm, black coat with the academy's insignia emblazoned across the back of it.

"If you've decided whether or not you're coming Mr. Princeton we can go" she said looking at Jagger expectantly, as though she didn't know his more than obvious response.

"I'll leave with him," he said coolly, ignoring the venomous glare that Jaden shot him behind his back.

"I'm sure Atticus wouldn't mind keeping an eye on you're brother for you while you're away" Fonda said as she headed toward the door, gesturing for Jagger to follow. Leaving Jaden to ponder over what she had said and what exactly it meant.

'Why is Slade here? How did he wind up here…. Oh yeah, me and Chazz stole his clothes… good fun that… what do I do now?" Jaden sighed; his brain was threatening to cease function with this much thought that early in the morning.

Wishing for nothing more than Jagger Princeton's death this very moment, Jaden settled on ignoring the bastard, and figuring out where Slade was. Jaden barely acknowledged

Jagger leaving.

Once Jaden realized that the room he was standing in was empty, he sighed dejectedly before beginning his search for Slade.

Using his brain once more (aw, Jaden doesn't like this D: ) Jaden decided that the best place for Slade to be was the infirmary, probably on one of the beds. The brunette slowly made his way slowly to the aforementioned room and twisted the doorknob.

Not many things will shock Jaden Yuki so badly that he can't speak.

That one time that he walked in on Chancellor Crowler in his Briefs in the Slifer Laundry room was one.

That one time in his first year that he'd gotten a 75 in his duel theory class was another.

The newest one that he could add to this reasonably short list was; Atticus Rhodes feeding his attempted rapist oranges.

The aforementioned rapist-wannabe smiling at him casually while saying "yo" did not help the situation at all.

The brunette found himself turning around as quickly as he could down the hallway and as he did so he vowed that some way and somehow he'd find a way to selectively erase short-term memory.

Meanwhile Slade lay against the pillows as his newly acquired fan boy hand fed him some small, sweet, segments of a mandarin. "What was that all about?" Atticus said rousing the eldest of the Princeton family from his thoughts himself feeding on of these to Jagger. "I don't know, I guess little Jaden doesn't like me" Slade said nonchalantly before opening his mouth and sticking his tongue out, waiting patiently for Atticus to place some more mandarin on the aforementioned body part.

When no more juicy fruit passed pieces of fruit passed his lips, Slade forced himself to sit up and sigh. Ignoring the fact that he was still completely naked he decided that it was time to go and have another talk with Jaden about the night before, he didn't want anyone to start asking questions.

Stepping out of the bed, Slade found himself glancing around the room, looking for something that would pass for clothes. All the ebony haired nutjob could see was a rather flimsy looking hospital type gown, complete with strings at the back to hold it together (leaving nothing to the imagination btw). 'That won't do' Slade said 'tsking' mentally before his eyes landed on his temporary nurse; the one who called himself Atticus. Slade, showing a surprising amount of the tact that the Princeton family was known for, simply faced the unwary brunette next to his bed and simply said, "give me you're clothes" in the tone one would use to ask a shop assistant the price of the rather unpleasant haddock that had 50 off.

A few minutes later Slade Princeton casually strolled out of the Infirmary and into the main academy clad in a royal blue suit, complete with a silver glitter collar, and a pair of matching blue slack, apparently this is what the eldest Rhodes sibling deemed to be appropriate 'searching for missing students' clothing.

Looking around himself, Slade attempted vainly to try and figure out where on Earth the little brunette whom he found to be quite an amusing nuisance could have wandered off to; after all, Slade did have a job to finish.

Atticus sat dazedly on the small, comfortable and still slightly warm bed, clad only in a hospital gown. He blinked his deep, earthy brown eyes, and tried his damndest to figure out what had happened. The brunette's thoughts were rudely interrupted when his silver haired boyfriend burst unceremoniously into the room, "Atticus, did you find them?" he panted, as he doubled over in a vain attempt to catch his breath.

When he didn't receive a response Aster looked up at his love, and before he knew it he was trying in vain to stop himself from dashing over to Atticus's beside and finding out what was wrong with him. Taking a moment to compose himself, Aster calmly walked his beloveds' bedside, and took the seat that earlier Atticus himself had been occupying. "What happened to you?" he whispered shocking the teen out of his silent musings. Atticus flashed a confused look at Aster before he rattled off the story that Slade had told him, "I broke my big toe…" he said lamely, but Aster being the loyal boyfriend that he was smiled, "don't worry, I'll get you some chocolate" he chirped happily, having forgotten that he had been ditched on a volcano by his slightly neglectful and uninjured love.

Koi-kohai should roughly translate as 'underclassman in love… methinks that it should anyway…

Hmmm…. Now it is time for the revenge plan!
