Chapter Two

Jaden looked out the window to see that it was still raining. He couldn't help but beam. Syrus looked at him.

"It's still raining - which means you'll stay here longer -"

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" the smaller boy asked.

Jaden turned with a smile on his face. "A good thing," he started. "Do you like to draw?"

"Yea - why?" Syrus answered.

"Sweet," Jaden beamed. He walked to the bed and pulled out a large sketch book from underneath it. "I love to draw too."

This caught Syrus' attention. He slid off the bed and hit the back of his head in the process. He let out a whimper and rubbed the back of his head, to acknowledge that Jaden was already right there rubbing Syrus' head.

"That must've hurt. Are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine."

Jaden was about to say something, when voices could be heard out in the main hallway. The two boys got up and walked to the main door of the room Jaden and his parents lived in.

What they saw didn't surprise Jaden. Chazz was talking to a young cat like woman. She had a slim body, blue eyes, and straight long hair. She was wearing a white blouse that shaped her body quite nicely. The skirt she was wearing went past her hips.

"So Alexis, you want to chill with me and the guys?" Chauzz asked.

Alexis looked a little annoyed. "I told you Chazz. I don't have time - now if you excuse me - I need to see Fubuki."

Alexis put her hand on his chest and gently moved him out of the way. Chazz was a bit startled, and blushed when Alexis touched him. The dark haired cat-boy watched her walk away. That was one thing he liked about her; she was never afraid. One of these days, you'll be mine, he thought. He turned and walked the other direction.

Jaden and Syrus were already back in the room before Alexis saw them.

"That was tense. What were they talking about, Jaden?"

"It's a long complicated story - Fubuki is Alexis' older brother who's sick, and with Chazz trying to go out with her - it's not making her life any better. You could tell that she doesn't like him."

"Man," Syrus remarked. "That must be rough -"

"Anyways," Jaden said changing the topic. "You said that you know how to draw, right? I have some drawings too."

Syrus joined Jaden on the floor near the bed. The brown haired boy opened the book and rotated it so that Syrus could see it. The first sketch showed a young woman with black hair. She had a red jumper. The man standing next to her had wings, but his body was so roughly sketched, it was hard to tell what he was wearing. Syrus looked at a few more drawing and looked back up at Jaden.

"Wow! These sketches are really cool, Jaden," Syrus complimented.

The brown haired boy blushed, scratching the back of his head. "I'm not done with it yet. I don't know what color to use on the first sketch of the guy yet ..."

A sound came from the back of Syrus' throat as he flipped to the first sketch, and looked at for a moment. The smaller boy wrinkled his brow thinking, what color would be good for him. He looks like he a hero. Then an idea came to mind.

"Jaden, how would green look on him?"

"Green," Jaden repeated. He sat next to Syrus and looked at the sketch. "That might work."

The brown haired boy got up and went to his desk. He opened the last drawer and pulled out his crayons. Jaden turned and sat back down next to the other boy.

"Lets see what I got," Jaden continued. He dumped out the content and moved the crayons around, looking at the names.

"There's a forest green right there," Syrus piped up, pointing to the crayon that rolled away.

Chazz really wanted Alexis to be with him, and it hurt knowing he couldn't have her, but he had to think. He rose from his spot on the floor. Chazz grabbed his coat, ear-muffs, and walked to the door.

One of his so-called-friends looked up. "Where are you going?"

"Out!"

Before any of his other friends could say anything, Chazz was out the door and into the pouring rain. Once in the rain, he was soaked - but he didn't care. Why did I have to fall for her, Chazz thought bitterly. She will never look at you, an inner voice scowled. Chazz winced as his expression darkened. He came to a bench and sat down, not even caring if he got sick or died. Chazz pulled his knees to his chest and buried his face in.

At that exact moment, an umbrella was over his head. Chazz looked up slowly to see a young man slightly taller than himself. He wore a yellow coat, green shirt, and white pants. The man's hair was brushed back profeshinaly. The man had slanted blue eyes that held a power of it's own, and he had a kind smile on his face.

"Can I sit here?" The man asked. Chazz just shrugged and moved out of the way to allow more room. "I'm Bastion," the man clarified, and sat down. "I've been watching you - and I've been wanting to meet you -"

"What?" Chazz yelped in shock. He jumped to his feet - with great shock. "What do you know about me?"

Bastion just laughed, as Chazz sat back down. "You sure jump to conclusions don't you. So how about I walk you home."

The dark haired boy rose to his feet - his nose in the air. "I don't need some pervert following me around - you got that?"

Bastion couldn't help but chuckle at this. "You know, you're alright. What's your name?"

"Chazz - Chazz Princeton," the other boy responded. He was quite shocked that this Bastion person didn't seem to mind how he was being talked down to.

The brown haired boy smiled and extended his hand. "It's nice to meet you - my apartment is not very far - how about you stay until the rain stops, and I'll walk you home."

Chazz looked at Bastion - he knew better than trust a complete stranger - but he wanted to get out of the rain, so he followed Bastion.

Syrus let out a defeated moan - he was not good at drawing. Jaden looked up from what he was doing.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"My drawing sucks," Syrus said, as he hung his head.

"Can I see," the brown haired boy requested. The smaller boy nodded his head. Jaden sat down, and rose a brow - it was a sketch of a bike - and It was very detailed. "Is it a mountain bike?"

Syrus looked at it. "Yea. I think so."

"It's cool," Jaden remarked. "Can I keep it?"

"If you want," the smaller boy shrugged.

"Sweet," Jaden beamed. "Can you write your name?"

Syrus nodded his head. Just at that exact moment the blue haired boy took hold of the pencil, there was a knock at the door. Jaden rose to his feet, walked to the door and opened it to see that it was Alexis. She had a worried look on her face.

"Chazz is missing."
