Yosh. Well, this is my first time writing a Fianceshipping story, so please, be kind. I'm not so sure how this is going to turn out. I've kind of been mulling over this idea for a while, and decided to write it on a whim.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh GX or any of it's characters. So don't sue me!
Gray eyes roamed around their surroundings, glazed over in thought.
Faint footsteps could be heard as he trudged forward, never truly registering in his mind.
Dull, gray clouds, so similar to the color of his pupils, hung in the air, creating a dismal, melancholy feel.
The teen sighed. It seemed that even Mother Nature could read his mood.
It wasn't as if he was always so depressed. Even if he acted like he was unhappy all the time, he was usually just content to be with his friends, to be with... her.
Then again, she was the reason he was feeling this way. Why couldn't she just return his feelings?
He mused the thought of walking, hand-in-hand with the girl. A radiant smile was etched on her face as the wind tangled in her long, blonde tresses, blowing them in fluid motions.
As wonderful as he thought it seemed, he knew deep down, it would never happen. After all, she didn't love him, now did she.
He felt a drop of water hit his face. Another soon followed, then another, then another.
Ashen eyes gazed upward. The droplets rapidly picked up speed, soon soaking the clothes on his motionless body.
It took some time before he finally comprehended that it was raining, and he was getting wet.
His black hair soon became plastered to his face, drenched by the torrent falling from the heavens.
It wasn't until the rain began stinging his eyes that it dawned upon him that he shouldn't just be standing there, gawking at the clouds. He once again began his trek through the woods, occasionally stumbling over a stone or tree root that he had failed to notice in his semi-conscious state.
Lightning flashed and thunder crashed as the he continued forward, rain still pouring down like the clouds were crying, … like they could feel his pain and frustration, and were more willing to show it than he was.
He eventually came to a clearing, though he didn't walk out into it. The trees were at least providing him with a little shelter from the downpour. Who would be stupid enough to stand out in the open during a storm?
He heard a noise that didn't quite fit with the dreary atmosphere. What was that sound? Why was something making it? Didn't it, or rather, they, notice the weather?
One sound was musical. It flitted up and down in a way the made his heart skip a beat.
The other was deeper, but moved in a similar pattern.
It then occurred to the teen what that sound was.
It was laughter.
Two people stepped out from between the trees on the other side of the clearing, as he ducked behind another one.
One was a boy with two-toned brown hair that seemed to defy the laws of nature, and of gravity, as it stubbornly stuck up in the back, despite the heavy rain that had surely weighed it down. It was so much spikier now then it had been the first time they had met. His chocolate brown orbs seemed full of happiness and sadness all at the same time, like he had been through a lot and was just happy to be alive.
The other was a girl. The raven hair gulped. It was a girl with long, blonde tresses that still looked soft, despite being wet. Her golden brown eyes seemed full of light and laughter. A radiant smile seemed permanently chiseled onto her beautiful face. The same smile he had longed to see directed at him.
His heart clenched. Even soaked and shivering, she was still beautiful.
She giggled once again, as the brunette twirled her around, beaming at her and chuckling at her care-free expression. He pulled her into his arms, gazing into the golden brown pools that seemed transfixed on his own chocolate brown ones. Their foreheads together, they snuggled closer to each other, sharing what little warmth they had left.
Gray eyes narrowed in jealousy. It wasn't fair. No matter what he did, the brunette had always showed him up. He had been the best, but the brunette had triumphed over him, had made him look like a fool in front of his brothers, in front of everyone... in front of her.
Wasn't it enough that everyone loved the brunette instead of the raven haired boy? Did he have to steal the blonde away also?
He briefly considered breaking them apart and giving the brunette a piece of his mind. How dare the brunette hold the blonde like that when she belonged to him.
But then, he stopped dead in his tracks. She didn't belong to him.
No matter how many times he had expressed his feelings for the blonde, she had never shown any sign of returning them.
Had it all been in vain then? Was he forever to remain lonely, miserable, and depressed?
The brunette would get the victory, the glory, and the girl? And he would get what? Nothing, that's what. Where was the justice in that? What ever happened to fairness and equality? Life was cruel to him.
Tears stung his eyes as he thought of a future of being alone. But he would never let them fall. If he did, then it'd be like letting the brunette win again.
With that, he turned on his heels and started back in the other direction.
A loud crack rang out as he stepped on a fallen twig that had remained fairly dry under the leaves that had fallen on top of it. The teen froze in his tracts, and turned around to make sure the pair in the clearing hadn't heard.
"Hey, Lexi, did you hear that?"
"Hear what, Jaden? It's pouring out. I can't hear anything. Are you sure you aren't just imagining things?"
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
Teen snapped his head away as he watched the brunette pull the blonde in for a kiss. He could only take so much, before his heart broke beyond repair.
The teen finally found himself back at the school? It was hard to tell, because his vision was still blurred from tears.
He was about to turn around when he saw a flash of white and, purple?
He rubbed his eyes, only to find a girl standing not too far from him.
She was wearing a pinkish purple short-sleeved shirt under a white, short-sleeved button-down shirt that was half open, and a light, denim skirt that cam to just above her knees. She had sparkling blue eyes, that seemed slightly glazed over as they flicked back and forth, obviously looking for someone or something.
But the most shocking thing about the girl was her hair. It was... purple. Lavender to be more specific. I was pulled into two long pigtails and held by two ribbons that matched her purple shirt. He thought it was gorgeous... that she was gorgeous.
The girls eyes fell on him and she began walking forward.
The teen began to panic and looked around, wondering if she were walking towards someone else. Surely someone as pretty as her had better things to do than talk to him, right?
But there was no one else.
When she finally approached him, he didn't know what to do, so he simply stared at her inquisitively. She smiled at him.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm on the island visiting a friend, and I was wondering if you might know where I can find him? Oh! Where are my manners? I'm Kagomi Hiragi, by the way."
"Chazz. Chazz Princeton. Um, who exactly are you looking for?"
The girl, Kagomi, he mentally corrected, blushed. "Oh. Right. Um, it's probably stupid to ask. You might not even know him."
"Hey, the Chazz knows just about everybody on Academy Island, so just give me your friend's name, and one way or another, I'll help you find him, okay?"
Kagomi blushed darker, her eyes looked a bit glazed over. "Um, his name is Jaden Yuki."
Chazz's heart sunk into his chest. Great. Another girl lost to the stupid Slacker.
"Oh. Yuki. He's probably back at his dorm by now."
Kagomi frowned slightly. "You and Jaden don't like each other?"
Chazz sighed. "I suppose you could say that. He's been my rival since day one, and sometimes I just want to murder him, to be honest with you."
Kagomi laughed. "Oh I know! He can be such a pain! Sometimes I think he and my other friend, Konata were separated at birth! They're both such a couple of children, even though they're both technically adults now. Given a choice between being locked in a room with Konata or being locked in a room with Jaden, I think I'd prefer death."
Chazz's spirits lifted a little at the girls words. Perhaps she didn't like the Slacker like that after all. Maybe he still stood a chance.
"Really? Most girls love him."
"Not me. Well, I mean I love him as a friend and all, but not like that. He's too immature for me. I'd go crazy after a week, maybe not even that."
"Kagsy!" a voice traveled over to them.
"I thought I told you not to call me that!"
Jaden pouted, then smiled again. "Whatever, Kagsy."
Kagomi frowned, then turned her head a bit, noticing her friend's companion. She smirked. "And you must be Alexis. Jaden talks about you all the time."
The said pair blushed. "Kagomi!" Jaden sounded indignant and terribly embarrassed. Chazz was beginning to like Kagomi a lot more.
"Ha ha. That's what you get for insisting on calling me that awful nickname."
Jaden just scowled at her, as Alexis fidgeted.
"Now, Chazz, if you would be so kind as to escort me to the main office so that I can pick up the key to the room I'll be staying in."
Chazz smiled at Kagomi's smug look. "It'd be my pleasure."
And with that, Kagomi looped her arm around Chazz's, and they walked though the halls leaving a fuming Jaden and an flustered Alexis behind.
Chazz gazed at the face of the purple haired girl beside him. Her blue eyes were sparkling mischievously, and she had a small smile was planted on her face.
Maybe, he mused, just maybe, he wasn't so lonely after all.
Blah. So short. Anywhoo, Kagomi Hiragi and Konata Izumi, by the way, are off of Luck Star, another anime, which I also do not own. I think i'm going to write this story from Jaden and Alexis's side. Seeing as i'm gonna assume you're all wondering what they were doing. After all, this was intended to be Fianceshipping, not all about Chazz. So... yeah. I'll get started on that.
