*ON HOLD* Answer To My Heart (Jesse Anderson/ Yu-Gi-Oh GX)

10: Truth

Jesse POV

Rhia and I began to lean in slightly but neither of us decided to pull away, this was wrong. But...

'Jesse!' a familiar voice shouted

'Lina?' Rhia whispered, her head shooting up at me before looking in the direction of the voice...There stood a blue-haired, green-eyed obelisk glared at us, Lina stood shocked.

I helped Rhia get out of the lake as Lina approached us, I hid Rhia behind me as Lina continued to glare at her dangerously.

'Rhia, stay away from my brother,'

'What's going on between you t-'

'Nothing' Rhia stated quietly

'Why are you with her, Jesse?!'

'I-'

I started but I was cut off but Rhia who ran into the forest without saying a word. I turned back to Lina,

'We'll talk about this later,' I stated before running after Rhia.

I didn't look back when Lina yelled my name, there was something I was missing. I wanted to know what was going on and I intend to find out.

'Rhia!' I yelled for the hundredth time, breathless. I searched everywhere, literally everywhere.

I returned the harbour where Zane would be but instead I found...

'Hey Alexis!'

'Oh, Hey Jesse! What's wrong? You look like you've been running a marathon!'

'Have you seen Rhia runnin' around here? Yay high and looks like a female version of Jaden?' I smiled, Alexis laughed and pointed to a small sitting figure by the borderline of the shore.

'You could try and ask her...'

'Thanks Lex!' I waved before going to the slifer on grass.

Her head was buried in her knees that she hugged to her chest, there weren't any sounds of crying but the girl was most definitely Rhia. I placed a hand on her shoulder.

Rhia POV.

I felt a hand on my shoulder as I lifted my head up, I was greeted by a blue haired boy with a cheesy smile, 'Found you'

'What if I told you that I didn't want you to find me?'

'Ouch' he joked as his hand patted his chest lightly, I giggled at his attempt to make me smile.

I looked up at his worried eyes and I knew he wanted to ask me but it was a question I was afraid to answer...

'You can ask me if you want, I don't mind' I muttered, hoping he wouldn't hear. I ducked my head down to stare at the ground.

'So,' he started

'So?'

'So, how long are you planning on keeping that story from me for?'

My head flicked up, 'Story?'

'Of you and Lina'

'It's not really a story to tell,' I responded sullenly

'I won't force you,' Jesse offered an assuring smile, 'But can you come with me a minute?'

I nodded in reply as he led me to the Slifer's cafeteria... There was no-one around but a table with a lit candle, but it was occupied.
