Hello! This is is my first story here, and I really do hope you enjoy it.
My inspiration for this fanfiction is the story "Duel Idol" by KeiKeiYuki. It is a really enjoyable fanfiction and I recommend you read it. This following fanfiction has no connection to KeiKeiYuki's story.
This fanfiction contains Spiritshipping (Judai Yuki x Johan Andersen), Defianceshipping (Haou x Johan Andersen), Valentineshipping (Jun Manjoume x Asuka Tenjoin) and Proshipping (Ryou Marufuji x Edo Phoenix). Johan and Edo are girls.
Please review and leave criticism. However, I hope that if you don't like this fanfiction you'll tell me so in a calm and orderly fashion.

Now, begin!
Johan Andersen ran down the wooden stairs in a rush, almost tripping. She dragged her furry winter coat off the coat hanger. It tumbled and crashed into the ground. She winced and sat down, slipping on her winter boots.
"What are you doing, Johan?" An angry tone asked. Johan felt like her blood turned to ice. Her older brother was a tall figure with the same teal coloured hair as herself. His name was Yubel and he stood in the hallway with crossed arms, orange eyes glaring at her. His eyes darted down to the coat hanger on the floor, with the coats spread out around it. His eyes turned back up at her.
"Care to explain?" He asked. Johan gulped. She knew how downright dangerous her brother could be when he was angry or got provoked. She laughed and started backing towards the door. Yubel glared at her and took a step forward. Johan glanced around, looking for something that she could use in her defence. Yubel took another step forward, and Johan knew she was running out of time. She closed her eyes and raised her arms to shield her face. Yubel grabbed her hair.
"Pick up after yourself, won't you?" He asked, smiling kindly. Johan opened her eyes and looked up at him with wide eyes. She took a step backwards towards the door and eyed him. Yubel raised an eyebrow. Johan grabbed her school bag and a shoe horn, never once letting her eyes leave him. Yubel rolled his eyes.
"Did you think I was going to hit you? Come on Johan, I've never done that, and I'd never do that either." He protested. Johan still looked tense and Yubel sighed. His younger sister didn't trust anyone.
Except for Jim, and those 'spirits' she claims she can see, Yubel reminded himself. He opened his mouth to reassure his sister that he wouldn't hurt her. But a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Johan opened the door in a hurry. When she saw the person on the other side she smiled.
"Jim!" She hugged the cowboy hat-wearing Australian. Jim managed to get a smile out himself, and hugged her back. Jim turned to Yubel and sent him a smile full of warmth and kindness.
"G'day mate, how are you today?" Jim asked, with his oh-so-recognisable Australian accent. Yubel felt a smile spread across his face. Jim made everyone feel welcome. Jim was in his regular outfit, leather pants with a white shirt and a vest on top. He even wore his cowboy hat, and Yubel had often wondered if it was even allowed. He turned his head to look at his sister. Her outfit wasn't exactly the school's outfit either. She was wearing a plaid brown and white skirt that reached her mid thighs and a light blue shirt with frilly cuffs. But she at least had something like the school uniform. A vest resembling the coats the Obelisk Blue students wore. How she managed this was a mystery to Yubel. They had lived in Europe before, and the school there had no dress code. Yubel supposed it must've been luck.
"I'm fine thanks, Jim. How's school treating you two?" He asked. Johan stopped hugging Jim and looked at her brother.
"It's actually treating us good, big brother. But I think we have to go. See ya!" And to both boys' surprise, Johan ran over to Yubel and hugged him. She then ran out the door, with Jim sighing and running after her. Yubel looked after the two.
Johan... hugged me...?
"Jiiiiiim..." Jim didn't look at his friend. He knew she hadn't gotten much sleep lately, but he had lost sight of his best friend. Austin O'Brien, a transfer student from America. The corridors of the school had already filled up with people. It was early, yet many of the school's students were sitting in the corridors, studying. Jim's boots made loud taps on the floor. The students studying turned their heads towards him.
"Oh wow! It's Jim!" A girl swooned.
"Shut your mouth Momoe, he's coming towards us!" Another girl whisper-shouted.
Jim was a popular guy. He was charismatic, kind, caring and also quite good looking. But he wasn't only popular with the girls, the boys seemed to enjoy being around him as well. Johan frowned as she realised that everyone was looking at Jim. She did not harbour any romantic feelings for him, but she felt sad that nobody ever noticed her. It was at times like these she was sad that she didn't have any other friends.
But you have us, Johan!
Johan smiled towards the floating spirit of a creature known as Amethyst Cat. She was a large cat with long claws and purple fur.
I know, Johan replied. It's just that if anyone ever noticed me talking to you guys, they'd call me a schizophrenic.
Amethyst Cat smiled and Johan knew she only tried to cheer her up. Amethyst rubbed her furry cheek against Johan's.
Cheer up, Johan. Things will get better soon. Emerald Turtle said so.
Johan felt a spark of hope bloom in her heart. Emerald Turtle was a wise and old turtle that had a tendency to predict the future. If he said something, the chances of it being true was high. Johan's face lit up.
"Johan, you alright there, mate?" Jim asked, snapping Johan out of her daze. She turned back to Jim who looked concerned. She nodded and her chest long teal hair swayed. Jim smiled back at her, the sun lighting up his face. Johan saw others looking at them in the corner of her eyes and she felt her face start to burn. She turned her face away and started walking. Jim laughed under his breath and followed her. Johan looked around in the corridor. What Amethyst had told her made her quite happy.
Rubii bii!
Ruby? What's wro-
Johan walked right into a tall figure and bumped into the lockers lined against the wall. A sharp edge managed to cut her leg and she let out a small squeak of discomfort.
"I'm so sorry." Johan looked up, and when she saw the face of the person, she turned scared. The face had large brown eyes and long blonde hair with bangs that stopped right above the eyebrows. She had bumped into the Queen of the Obelisk Blues. Asuka Tenjoin. Johan smiled.
"No, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention," Johan said, apologising best she could. Asuka only smiled but after a few seconds she gasped. Johan tilted her head to the right.
"Is something wrong..?" Asuka nodded and pointed at Johan's leg. Johan furrowed her brows. What was strange with her legs? She knew she hadn't shaved her legs for a while but they weren't that hairy. Were they?
"Your leg! It's bleeding..." Johan looked down at her leg and just as Asuka said, blood had started pooling up in the scratch on her leg. It didn't hurt, but it did itch a bit, to her surprise. Johan gasped as well and started walking away, with her wild mane of hair covering her face. The other students stared at both her and Asuka in shock. Shock that someone had bumped into the Queen and then ran away. There was even a rumour that the Queen was in training to become a Duel Idol. And those are people you don't walk into and run away. Johan had heard the rumours and wanted to get away before she got herself into trouble. She hadn't been in the school for too long but she liked it. She didn't want to have to go back to her old school in Europe, either.
"Hey. What are you doing?" A deep voice asked. Johan looked up, her emerald eyes almost beginning to tear up.
No more... Please...
"Your leg is bleeding. You should go to the Nurse." The person said. Johan knew that she recognised the person, but she could not remember at all. The person in front of her had chin-length brown hair in two shades, and sharp, chestnut brown eyes. He wasn't much taller than Johan herself, but that wasn't anything new. She nodded.
"I'm on my way..." She whispered, looking into his eyes. The guy closed his eyes. He was handsome, Johan realised. For a while, it was completely silent. The guy opened his eyes again.
"Well? Are you going to go?" He asked, annoyed. Johan nodded and started taking a step to the left of the person. When she passed him, it felt as if time stopped for a second. A chill ran down her spine and everything went back to normal. When Johan started walking again, the cold sweat ran on her forehead. She groaned.
Are you alright, Johan?
Cobalt Eagle was, as his name suggested, an eagle. He was a warm shade of light brown and his wings were wide. When he spoke, he sounded light-hearted and happy. He made Johan feel cheerful. Usually, at least. Cobalt Eagle was looking at her with a frown. Johan nodded and smiled towards him.
Yes. Thanks for looking out for me Cobalt, she answered.
Cobalt smiled back and disappeared. Johan turned her head from side to side to see if anyone had seen her smiling at nothing. A relieved sigh left her lips when there was nobody in sight. But like so many others, she forgot to look behind her. The person she met earlier still stood there. He had a smirk on his face, and his brown eyes had an almost dangerous glint in them. He stood still as Johan disappeared behind a corner. When she was completely gone, he spun around and walked towards his classroom. Beside him, a spirit appeared. The spirit was muscular and blue.
Neos, I think we've found a budding Duel Idol.
Neos gasped, but nodded. He knew that when his master had an intuition, it was rarely wrong.
What do you suggest we do, Judai?
Judai closed his eyes and started thinking. Nobody seemed to notice the famous Duel Idol standing in the hallway. Judai preferred it that way. Neos waited for Judai to answer him. He was thankful for some peace and quiet. The other spirits were causing copious amounts of trouble for him recently. He appreciated every moment of peace he got.
I think we need to have a little chat with Miss Fubuki.
Miss Fubuki? But Judai... Neos stopped himself from saying anything else. Judai raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at Neos as if awaiting his response. Neos shook his head, and Judai nodded towards the spirit.
Let's go, Judai said. Neos made a slight nod and disappeared.
"KYAAA! IT'S JUDAI!"
It happened too fast for him to notice. In a sudden moment an assault of screams entered his ears. Judai winced, despite having heard it at least a thousand times. He realised a mob of fangirls (and fanboys as well, although they were less seen) had surrounded him. Judai's face wrinkled into a look of fear. Fans were scary, he knew that. Instead, he lowered his head and prepared his finest smile. When he felt ready and prepared, he looked up, and his hair flew to the side.
"Judai smiled at me..."
"No, he smiled at me!"
"Don't kid yourselves. It's obvious that it's me Judai smiled at!" Amongst the arguing of the girls, Judai heard a laugh. He rolled his eyes. He recognised the laugh, but even if he didn't, it would still have been obvious who it was. It was Jun Manjoume, the school's resident douchebag. But despite that, he was still a respected person. He had talent, that was obvious enough, with him being a Duel Idol and all. Judai snuck out of the crowd and joined up with Manjoume. Manjoume looked at him and laughed a bit. Judai glared at him and Manjoume covered his mouth with his hand. The other hand tried to wave Judai off. Judai sighed and started walking, and Manjoume followed soon after.
"So, what're we doing today?" Manjoume asked, yawning. He didn't even try to conceal his yawn and stretched out his arms. Judai rolled his eyes at him. Everywhere they went, people made way for them, like the sea did for Moses according to the Bible. Manjoume smirked and puffed his chest out, enjoying the service.
"I need to speak with Miss Fubuki today." Judai stated, trying to keep the information he revealed small. Manjoume glanced at him with roughly furrowed eyebrows. He looked up and down Judai's body. Judai frowned.
"What're you doing?" He asked. The bell rang. Manjoume grinned and walked away, making sure to time his entrance to his class best he could. "Manjoume Thunder" couldn't enter a class like everyone else, after all. All eyes had to be on him. Or so Manjoume said. Judai slapped his hand on his forehead and groaned. Manjoume could be a real pain sometimes. Judai glanced up at the clock above the open windows and his face moulded back to that same look of fear he had earlier.
"I can't afford to be late again!" Judai groaned under his breath, and started running. The sound of his running echoed throughout the hallway. Behind him, the spirits of Neos and Gran Mole appeared.
Judai, Judai, Judai... Neos muttered, and shook his head. Gran Mole, a small and chubby brown mole with giant, sharp claws looked at Judai and frowned.
Oh Judai, will he be alright?
The nurse fastened the plaster on Johan's leg and smiled at her before standing up once more.
"There you go, Johan. Good to go again." The nurse said. Johan nodded and smiled back at the nurse. She stood up and brushed off her skirt before straightening it and walking towards the door. As she opened the door, she remembered that she had to thank the nurse for helping her. She turned around and bowed towards the nurse.
"Thank you for helping me." She said, and walked out the door. The nurse chuckled before sitting down at her desk. Johan closed the door behind her with a gentle pull and walked away from the Nurse's office. She gathered her hands behind her back and started whistling her favourite tune. It progressed over to singing.
"Mune no itami sarakedashite ii yo,
Itsu de mo sono egao
Sukuwarete kita boku nanda,
Ima dake naite ii yo..." She smiled. It was her favourite song and a popular idol sung it. Which idol did not matter to her. She had heard the song played in the school some time, on some girl's phone she presumed. She remembered how the lyrics had clicked with her and for that reason she had tried to find out which song it was. 'Teardrop'. That's what Jim had told her. Soon she found herself humming and singing it a lot. She frowned. She had to stop or people would start assuming she was a fangirl.
What's wrong with being a fangirl?
It was Amber Mammoth, a giant fur-ball mammoth, who asked. Johan shook her head.
"Nothing, I just don't want people to assume I'm one." Without thinking, she replied out loud. She immediately covered her mouth with her hands. She turned her head around in a panic-induced state to see if anyone had heard her. When she couldn't see anyone she let her hands drop down to her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"You know, you should start looking behind yourself." Johan jumped and turned around. She felt as if she was ice. In front of her stood the same person as she had bumped into earlier. The handsome guy with the two shaded brown hair and sharp brown eyes. He was standing with his arms crossed, and a serious look on his face. Johan frowned and crossed her arms as well. She was not going to let this person insult her.
"W-Well I didn't know you were there!" She protested. The guy laughed and held out his hand towards her. She held out her hand as well and he grabbed it.
"I'm Judai Yuki." He said, smiling a dazzling smile. As he did, he pressed her hand, and a tiger spirit with a giant horn on its head appeared. Topaz Tiger growled lowly at Judai. At the same time, Neos appeared behind Judai. Johan gasped and gripped Judai's hand tighter. She was oblivious to it though. Judai smirked and Topaz Tiger growled louder. Johan failed to notice the whole incident. Neos appeared beside Judai and growled back at Topaz.
"You have a spirit as well?" She asked, surprised. Judai nodded and dusted off the shoulder of his jacket. Johan waited for Judai to reply. After a little while, he stopped and looked at her again. He nodded once more.
"Yeah. Many, to be exact." Was all he said, only serving to confuse Johan even more. She furrowed her brows and narrowed her eyes while trying to think. Judai chuckled.
"You can let go of my hand now." He said with a teasing undertone. Johan looked down to still see her holding Judai's hand. She blushed and let go of his hand. She joined her hands together behind her back and stood still while looking into his eyes. Judai inspected her eyes. They were bright and shining like emerald gems. Yet at the same time, he sensed something else in them. Yes, Judai knew what it was. She had a mighty spiritual partner inside of her. He didn't know where, or who it was, but he felt it.
"But if you want to, I could hold it some more." He added, winking at her. He didn't know why, but it was fun to tease her. Johan frowned and held up her hand beside her head. He realised she wanted to wave and then leave. Johan wiggled her fingers and waved her hand.
"See you later, Judai. Nice meeting you." She smiled at him and Judai felt his cheeks heat up. He nodded and raised his hand as well. He waved back at her while looking deep into her eyes. Johan took a careful step before she started to walk away from both the Nurse's office and Judai. Once Johan was far out of view, Neos appeared once more. He crossed his muscular arms and started chuckling.
You liiiike her!
Judai immediately turned his head towards Neos and frowned. The spirit had a smirk on his face that Judai did not like. Neos seemed to glow with a determination of some kind.
I do not!
Judai knew he had to protest or he'd get teased by Neos and all the other spirits until the day he died. Neos beamed towards him and chuckled again. Judai glared at him with a murderous glint in his eyes. Neos flinched and disappeared. He changed his plans. Nobody wanted to receive a glare from Judai, not even Neos. Once he was gone, Judai chuckled. Now he knew exactly how to stop Neos.
"Excuse me, you're Johan, right?" Johan looked up from her book which was laying on her desk. Asuka stood in front of her. Johan gulped.
Be brave Johan... You can do this, she told herself and put on a friendly smile. Johan looked straight into Asuka's eyes. They looked warm and kind, to Johan's surprise.
"I am, can I help you Asuka?" Johan replied, and mentally gave herself a pat on the back for not stuttering or sounding scared. Asuka smiled back at Johan but didn't answer her question. The silence was nerve wracking. After a few minutes, the door slammed open. Asuka and Johan both looked at the door, but their reactions were different. Asuka seemed half annoyed, half happy. Johan though was pale yet looked composed.
"Geez Edo, what took you so long?" Asuka asked and placed her hands on her hips. Johan looked at the girl named Edo. She had silver hair that reached just below her shoulders and sharp blue eyes. They reminded Johan of Amethyst's eyes, but she wouldn't say that. Edo pulled at her tie and walked over to Asuka and Johan.
"Forgive me, Asuka. I ran into an idiot in the corridor." Edo apologised in a polite manner. Johan mentally smiled. She liked Edo already, she was polite. But something bothered Johan.
"I ran into an idiot in the corridor." What could she mean?
Asuka tried to conceal her little giggle by placing a hand over her mouth. Edo still heard it and raised her eyebrow. Johan looked forward and backwards at the two, a confused look plastered on her face. She opened her mouth.
"What do you mean by 'idiot'?" She asked. Edo turned to look at her. She fixed her tie and flattened her skirt. Johan swore she heard Edo mutter something sort of like, 'stupid skirts'.
"Well. I think his name was 'Kaiser'? And he was walking with some 'Fubuki' chick," Edo replied and sighed. At the mention of the name Fubuki, Asuka paled. Edo shrugged. "The 'Kaiser' person glared at me. What do I do? I tell him to get the hell away and stop looking at me, of course. And what does he do? He just smirks!" Edo was fuming, Johan realised. Asuka looked shaken. Johan placed her hand on top of Asuka's.
"Asuka, are you alright?" Johan asked. Asuka nodded and chuckled. She seemed to appreciate Johan's concern.
"Of course. Fubuki's my sister, that's all. She tends to be an idiot," Asuka paused and turned towards Edo. Edo looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Asuka placed her hands on her knees and bowed. "I'm sorry if she caused you trouble." She said. Edo waved her hand as if telling Asuka it was alright. Johan felt confused. First the two girls acted as if they were close friends, but then they turned all polite. Sapphire Pegasus, a stunning white pegasus appeared beside her.
Johan, are humans usually this confusing?
Johan tried her best to hide the small giggle erupting from her lips. Luckily Edo and Asuka were too busy discussing how idiotic Fubuki and Kaiser were to notice her. She hoped so, at least. Cobalt appeared beside her as well.
I say we should get the heck out of here!
Cobalt said, cawing like any other bird would. Johan nodded. All the other Gem Beasts appeared beside her as well. Amethyst, Sapphire, Cobalt, Emerald, Topaz, Amber and Ruby. Ruby Carbuncle was a mythical creature, a carbuncle. In the beginning though, Johan had assumed she was a cat.
Johan, wait.
It was Emerald Turtle. Johan sat still. If Emerald told her to wait, it was important. Especially since Emerald hated having to hurry and would much rather talk when he had a lot of time. The other Gem Beasts felt the same way, for they stopped what they were doing and faced him.
This is your chance to get happiness.
Johan froze. How could she have forgotten? Amethyst had told her what Emerald had said. Things were going to get better soon.
"Whoever you're talking to, don't get her to leave." It was Edo that spoke.
I'm not! I'm trying to get her to stay.
Emerald protested. The other Gem Beasts started laughing. Emerald sighed. He looked at Johan, begging her to help him. Johan, although unknown to herself, laughed out loud.
"Don't worry Emerald." Johan realised what she'd done and slapped her hands over her mouth.
You need to stop doing that, Johan.
Amethyst teased her. Johan smiled at her.
"See! She's perfect, Edo!" Asuka said and crossed her arms. She sent Edo a teasing smile and Edo glared back.
Perfect for what?
Topaz growled. They were going to do something to Johan. Then he scoffed. What was he thinking? Nobody was going to do anything to Johan before he and the rest of the Gem Beasts had accepted it first. Johan looked just as confused as her family and opted to just looking at Asuka. Edo held her chin between her thumb and index finger. She closed her eyes and hummed.
"I see what you mean, Asuka," Edo opened her eyes and smiled at Johan. "Welcome on board, Johan Andersen. Rainbow Dragoness."
And that was chapter one. Thank you for reading. Was it bad? Terrible? Or in some miraculous way... okay?
As I said in the beginning, feel free to criticise. Just... don't be too harsh on me, please. If you have any ideas for the story... please write them in your review or PM me. Have a good day!
