Jaejoong

Jaejoong sighed, leaning back in his seat. The plane ride back to Seoul was proving to be long and strangely quiet.

It seemed like everyone was avoiding him, being uneasy when he spoke to any of the vampires, especially the werewolves.

He knew that everyone knew about Yunho's sudden turning, and Jae wondered if the coven and the pack held Yunho's transformation against him.

Looking down at the blade in his hands, he turned it over and saw the etching of the wolf.

Was being turned into a vampire worse than death for a werewolf?

How would Yunho react when he awakened?

Would he despise him or would he even kill him?

Jaejoong bit his lip.  No he couldn't let himself think like that.

His mind was already messed up.

He could hardly think straight, being so filled with worry about how Yunho would react to this, to him.

Suddenly, a loud piercing scream filled the cabin of the plane, causing Jae to shudder, and everyone else to gasp and cast lowered glances towards him.

It was happening, the turning, the human part of his body dying, leaving only the hybrid, which will be Yunho.

As another cry filled the small space, Jae stood.

He looked around at wolves and then the vampires.

"Make sure to clean your weapons, and store them back in their proper places."

He turned to walk to the back when a voice stopped him, "What’s happening to Yunho?"

Jae turned to the one who asked the question, Yesung, and found all the wolves eyes looking at him.

"The human part of the body has to die and it's very painful." Jae told them flatly.

Kibum nodded, "So it'll be like this for all of us?"

Jaejoong signed, "No one ever said that turning into a vampire would be easy. You were only fooling yourselves if you were thinking that. So think on it hard. This transformation Yunho's going through..." Jae paused as another cry rent the air, "is what you'll have to endure to turn, and you have to turn before you can become lifemates. You can be a vampire without being a lifemate, but not a lifemate without turning."

He left them at this, walking to the planes bedroom. He was sure that none of the weres' would change their minds about turning, even after hearing Yunho's cries of pain.

He slid open the door to the small room and entered.

Looking over to the bed, he saw Yunho's number one man, Yoochun sitting next to the bed, and Junsu standing beside him, his hands rubbing his lifemates shoulders.

As he approached the bed, Yoochun looked up. Seeing him, he quickly stood, his face expressed his anger.

"You, vampire. Get out!" Yoochun shouted at him, Junsu coming up to him, placing a hand on his arm.

Jaejoong glanced over to Junsu, eyebrows furrowed, "Are you sure he's your lifemate?" Jae snapped, thrusting his chin in Yoochun’s direction.

Junsu sucked in a sharp breathe, "What? My lifemate? Yes! Of course he is! You know as well as I do that you can't fake that!" His eyes were showing anger at his leader for even suggesting that Yoochun may not be his lifemate.

Jaejoong frowned, really trying to figure out what was so hard for Yoochun to understand about him turning his leader.

"Then could you please tell me, why is he acting this way? Does he not understand?"

Jae looked hard at Junsu.

"What about you Junsu? Would you have just stood back and let Yoochun die? Even if he didn't want to be turned, would you. No...Could you watch your lifemate die?"

He watched as Junsu looked at Yoochun, his face a mix of emotions.

"I...I..I don't know. I think I would do as Yoochun wished."

Jae laughed bitterly, "Oh, really. Even if it meant he'd die? You'd just watch him perish, just like that without trying to save him?"

"Wait just a damn minute here!" Yoochun grounded out, his eyes glued on Junsu.

"You mean you wouldn't save me? If I was dying, you wouldn't do what it took to make me live?"

Junsu shook his head, "Not if it wasn't something that you wanted. If you had told me that you didn't want to be a vampire, then no. I wouldn't save you."

Yoochun closed his eyes and breathed, "So your telling me that if I was dying you wouldn't save me? I thought you loved....me?"

Yoochun's eyes collided with Jae's, understanding dawning loud and clear to the were' "That's it! That's why you couldn't let him die. You love him!"

Jae's eyes widened, "What! No that's impossible. I don't love him. I'm incapable of feeling love.  There is no way!" He said shaking his head no.

Yoochun laughed moving closer to Jae, "Incapable? No I don't think so. You love him. That’s why you didn't let him die."

Jae shook his head harder, waving his hands in front of him, "No! That's not true!"

Yoochun looked over to Junsu, "I think he protested to much." And Junsu nodded his head in agreement.

Yunho let out a cry of pain that had Jae moving quickly to the side of the bed, making Jae very relieved for the intrusion, not even wanting to think about what Yoochun had said. Him love?  No. Not possible...was it?

Jae shook his head getting the thoughts out of his mind; he had other things to worry about at the moment.

His breath caught as he laid his eyes on the werewolf. His face, neck and chest had broken out into a heavy sweat. His face twisted in pain; his body curling up as the human part of him died.

Kneeling down beside the bed, he leaned in closer to Yunho.

"Yunho. Don't fight it. Relax your body and let the change happen." Jaejoong whispered in a low voice.

His heart twisted as Yunho let out another moan, his hands clenching the covers his body laid upon.

Jaejoong heard the shuffling of feet behind him and was reminded that he wasn't alone.  He turned his face up to Junsu who had stepped up beside him.

Junsu looked at him and the at the convulsing body that was struggling on the bed. "It has begun."

Not a question but a fact stated, and Jae nodded. He gazed into Junsu's eyes conveying what he already knew.
 "It is the beginning. Look to the end."

Jae stood, and moved to the other side of the bed at the same time speaking to Junsu, "Junsu, get everything ready."

Jae let out a long sigh as the younger vampire moved to do his bidding.

He reached out to the wall above the head of the bed and swung a hook out from the wall, getting it ready.

Turning to Yoochun, who had been standing back, ready to come to Yunho's side if something happened that he didn't like.

Jae took a deep breath. He knew Yoochun shouldn't witness what was about to happen to his leader. Moving over, he stood before the werewolf, "Yoochun, you might not want to see this. Why don't you go out for a little while? Maybe check in on your pack." The vampire leader knew the way the wolf was glaring at him that that wasn't going to happen. He knew that Yoochun didn't trust him but he had a good reason why he shouldn't see what was about to happen. So, he knew that he wouldn't be able to convince him to leave, and when Yoochun shook his head no, he stepped back a step, "Well, I tried. But, don't say I didn't warn you. It's going to get bad and if you are going to be staying in here then you can help."

"Help me remove his clothes. He needs to be nude." Yoochun helped strip his leader of his clothes and then moved back again.

Jae shook his head, moving back to the side of the bed. He had tried to warn the werewolf but he couldn't do more than that.

Jae motioned him to come forward to the opposite side of the bed from himself. "We have to restrain him."

The vampire leader watched as Yoochun slowly walked over to Yunho, looking down at his pain filled face.

Jae sighed again as Yoochun shook his head no, "Why do we have to tie him down?"

"It's for his own good." Junsu answered from the back of the room, in a
tone of voice that didn't encourage arguing, saving Jae from having to answer to the pack member.

Gathering up his nerve, he turned to Junsu, "Junsu hurry ok. There's not much more time before it starts."

Junsu nodded as he took a silver metal tray in one hand and with the other he reached out and pushed on one of the wall panels. The panel popped out and the slid to the side.

A white light came on, showing an assortment of vials, needles, bags of hoses, and many bags of blood.

Junsu's hands worked quickly, picking out three vials of clear liquid, along with a syringe and needle. Then he picked out a different type of needle and a hose.

He loaded the metal tray with these things before grabbing alcohol swabs and four bags of blood.

While Junsu was busy prepping the tray, Jae and Yoochun tied down Yunho's arms and legs to the bed.

As Junsu walked up to him, Jae turned and accepted the tray from him, setting it on the night table beside the bed.

Working with shaking hands, he picked up a syringe and a needle. He assembled the needle, then lifted the vial of fluid filling up the needle. Pulling the needle out of the small bottle, Jae tapped the needle a few times to remove air bubbles.

Reaching to the tray again, he grabbed up a alcohol swab packet and ripped it open with his teeth, spitting the torn part to the floor. Removing the drenched piece of cotton he swabbed Yunho’s arm. Not giving himself enough time to worry about what was about to happen, he stuck the needle in the alpha wolf’s arm and pushed the syringe in, emptying the needle of it contents into Yunho. Jae repeated the same process two more times before throwing the needle to the tray.

Looking up he caught Yoochun glaring at the needle, "Morphine." Jae muttered to Yoochun, "Yes, it's a lot. Enough to kill an average person, but we are not average and its more for the pain. He'll be alright." Jae reassured him.

Jae went back to prepping Yunho’s arm for an I.V after Yoochun's nod of understanding. After placing the I.V. into his arm, he hooked the hose to the bag of blood hanging from the hook, and set the flow to a slow drip.

He moved back from the bed, his eyes on the resting figure. He knew that the morphine wouldn't even touch the pain that Yunho was about to go through.

Jaejoong glanced over to Junsu and Yoochun, "Now we wait. There's really nothing more we can do."

As the words left Jae's mouth, Yunho's body tensed and then arched up, a roar filling the whole plane.

Jae bit his lip as he watched the transformation start.

Yunho’s hair disintegrated, falling like dust to the pillow.

Jae quickly glanced over to Yoochun, the others eyes wide as he watched as his leader’s skin dissolved right in front of him.

Yunho screamed out, fighting the restraints that held him down. His whole body nothing but a mass of bright red muscle and snow white cartilage. His mouth opened wide, his teeth turning to dust.

As the form on the bed thrashed in pain, the three watched on, two holding onto each other, and one with tears streaming down his cheeks.

Finally, the figure dropped to the bed. His body relaxed, his chest not moving and Jae held his breath.

Yunho was half way through his morphing, the worst was finally behind him.

Suddenly, Yunho gave a huge gasp of breath, his chest rising up off the bed.

Then he could see it. The nanos coming in and fixing the damaged done to his body.

Jae walked closer, wiping the wetness from his cheeks with the back of one hand while checking the bagged blood with the other. Seeing it low, he quickly changed it. He knew that for the rest of the night, he would have to keep a close eye on the blood level, make sure it was there to help the nanos replenish his body.

He knelt down beside the bed and watched as Yunho's new form came forth.

His new skin rapidly covering his exposed muscle, a deep golden brown, unlike the pale white of normal vampires. He watched as his teeth were formed, only having the fangs of a vampire instead of regular teeth. And then his hair, where it was once a dark brown, was now a light golden brown, the length was down past his shoulders, much longer than the style he had it in before.

Jae was curious about his eyes, at what color they would be. He knew he wouldn't find out anytime soon, he'd be in a coma like sleep for the next ten hours or longer.

It seemed like hours that Jae sat at Yunho's bedside. His body was complete now. He was a vampire werewolf hybrid.

Jae rubbed at his eyes and looked around him. Yoochun and Junsu had left the room almost as soon as Yunho's new skin had covered him from head to toe.

Jae glanced back down at Yunho. He was still tied down, and that was still for his safety.

His ears perked up when he heard the door to the bedroom slide open. He looked behind him to see Eunhyuk standing by the door, almost nervously.

"Eunhyuk, what’s up?" Jae asked as he rose from the chair and walked over to the younger vampire.

Eunhyuk's eye went to the bed behind him. Jae turned and glanced quickly at Yunho, then back to Eunhyuk, "He's ok. He just turned that's all. All you vampires, except for Ryeowook, knows how painful it is by watching those who turned after you, and now Ryeowook knows also.

Eunhyuk nodded and then cleared his throat, "The pilot told me to tell you that we will be landing in about fifteen minutes."

Jae took in a deep breath and stretched his arms above his head, turning his head in a slow circle, groaning.

"Eunhyuk, could you tell Yoochun to come here, please." Jae asked as he walked over to the bed.

Eunhyuk whispered a soft yes and left , a few minutes later and Yoochun and Junsu were stepping through the door.

Jae turned to them offering them a smile, "Could you guy's help me get him dressed. He's dead weight and I can't lift him."

Junsu walked over and patted Jae on the shoulder, being the first to help his leader and brother and Yoochun helping untie the restraints from Yunho.

It seemed like they had just got the man dressed when they landed in Seoul.

The wolves and vampires descended from the plane, with Yoochun and Jae carrying Yunho to the waiting car.

The ride back to the house was short and quit as the occupants of the car studied Yunho.

They entered the house just as the sun started to rise. Jae and Yoochun took Yunho upstairs to the bedroom. Jae gently laid him on the bed.

They had removed the I.V for the ride, and Jae quickly reattached the hose back to the needle still in Yunho's arm and hooked up a fresh bag of blood. He knew that he would only need one or two more bags and it would be safe to keep him off the I.V. When he woke, he would have a terrible thirst.

Jae closed his eyes briefly, tired, before he turned to the guys standing by the door. "Everyone should go on to bed. Yunho will be all right. He's just resting now."

The ones gathered around started moving off to their own rooms, some yawning as they went.

Jae shook his head as he shut the door from across the room.

Thinking that he'd take a quick shower before going to bed, Jae headed for the shower.

He stood under the spray, letting his mind wonder back to what Yoochun had accused him of earlier.

Love. It had been on his mind the whole time. He was capable of love, it was just that love scared him. You were giving your heart to someone and trusting that person not to trample all over it.

He took the sponge and added body wash, scrubbing his body as he thought.

No, he decided as he rinsed himself of the soap, he couldn't be in love. You didn't have to be in love with your lifemate for them to be your lifemate.

He turned off the water and stepped out of the shower snatching up a towel from the rack.

Jae quickly dried himself as he walked back into his dark room.

Not bothering to dress in nightclothes he walked over to the bed and climbed in, turning his back to Yunho. He was asleep in minutes.

a/n hey everyone, I'm back.

It's been a while, and i'm sorry for that.

i know everyones waiting for Yunho's reaction to the turning, and that will come in the next chapter.
we'll see his reaction and how he is with jae.
now he's half were' half vamp.
