Hello Readers, this is an old fan fic that I wrote a long time ago. This is before even 6 episodes of Yu-gi-oh GX were put out in America. I wrote this to entertain me. It was a piece that is a copyrighted piece of my computer stories but it is free to be copied by you. This is a crossover of Digimon and Yu-gi-oh GX if you want to know. This story doesn't match what happened in the series but I did research so it should be very close; so good luck reading it. I wrote a sequel which is now finished. This was updated 2/20/2007 for Spelling and gramatics. I wrote this when I was 10ish so don't be too mean to me on it. I fixed it up majorly my second time through, now that it's been 5 years. I recovered it again as of 2/20/07 so it should be even better so enjoy! Aniecä
Disclaimer: Though in this book /fic I pretty much change a lot of the details of the series. I don't own Yu-gi-oh or Yu-gi-oh GX. I wish I did.
Jaden and I©
Chapter 1 - I Run Away
I was heading down to the duel arena, when a startling screaming and it scared me. A girl my age ran out as if she was being chases from out of the bushes. She was screaming in an ever so terrible fear, as she was running for life. I ran over to help her, as I saw her run into the Girls' Dormitory Pool.
"The darkness, the complete and total darkness, a concurring darkness, and monsters" She screamed as she started to drown. Hours later, she awoke somewhere unfamiliar to her.
"Finally, you're awake. You gave me a horrible scare back there." I stated. The first thing she did was look from side to side as if waiting for something to attack her, she was definitely scared. The girl stuttered trying to talk for a long time and finally started to utter some words. It was a lot of words really.
"Where am I? Who are you? Where's TK? I'm Kari Kamiya. Where's Gotomon?" Kari asked. She was full of questions and needed answers.
"Well I'm Alexis Rhodes and you're at Duelist Academy. I don't know any of TKs. Hi Kari. I'm sorry but I've never heard of a Gotomon. Is that a Duel Monster? However, I've never heard of that card. I'm 15 years old. So, how old are you?" I said starting to talk to her, trying to calm her down.
"TK is my boyfriend and Gotomon is not a Duel Monster. She's a Digital Monster. She is a solid living being in this world. I'm 16 years old and T.K. is too. So where has the darkness and terror gone?" Kari asked in fear; still looking everyway waiting for them to attack.
"We battle with these 'monsters'. We get damage equal to their damage. That could be what you're talking about, and fearing. The only real danger is in the duel; but it's not really that much at all. I win most of my battles anyway. I guess you're from a different world. Dueling is a world wide event and you said 'in this world' meaning that you must not be from this world." I answered trying to explain and understand at the same time which made things difficult.
Neither of them realized this little bit of information, was just the beginning of all the information they would have to receive and it would be hard for everyone to understand. Especially, Jaden who had never understood half the stuff he was told by anyone. Though I figured he'll be fine after a while.
"Come on. I need to take you to see my friends." I said helping her up. She followed me over to the Slifer Red Doors which wasn't very far.
"Jaden, Syrus, anyone home?" I asked as we walked into the Slifer Red Dorm. No one answered. Kari was discussed with the dirt and grim in the dorm. She walked around and she was kind of confused.
"Who are Jaden and Syrus?" Kari asked as I continued to search around the dorm. I was looking for Jaden and Syrus' scrap deck. I had a plan, but I wasn't going to tell Kari, at least not for a while.
"Jaden is my best friend. He is my age and so is Syrus and Syrus is Zane Truesdale's brother. Jaden should be back by now. He probably got into another duel with Zane or someone." I said sighing. I found a large box, picked it up and continued to talk to her. "Jaden is the Second top duelist here. I'm third and we're both behind Zane. Zane is cool, don't talk much, but he is mysterious. He likes being outside at strange times of the day though; he's a sort of loner to explain him."
"Zane must be top duelist at your school, right. What's in the box, Alexis?" Kari asked as she followed me out the door shutting it with discus, from the dirt of the dirty dorm. We walked down and Jaden came running down the road and straight into Kari. I sighed and smacked my forehead.
"Sorry, I'm busy Alexis." Jaden said as he sat on the ground picking up his cards that had fallen to the ground. I stopped him in his tracks. Jaden saw that I had something to say. He stood up and jogged in place while I talked.
"Jaden this is Kari Kamiya, Kari this is Jaden Yuki." Jaden waved as he jogged on to the dorm on the hill. Kari was looking at me as if I was crazy, for liking Jaden. My Obelisk Blue friends did the same thing, trying to get knock sense into me. I liked Jaden for his skills and his overconfident and caring ness toward others.
I went to my dorm with Kari. I told her to stay in the dorm and not to leave unless I told her too. I left the room, locking it. Soon I returned carrying another box and dumping the new box into the other, I left with an idea in mind.
I ran down to Mrs. Fontaine's office. My plan was to enroll Kari to the academy. That way we could learn more about each other. I hope that and just maybe find out if my brother is trapped in another world. I would do anything to find my brother.
I just realized, Kari had no skills, and no existence anywhere in this world, at least not to my understanding, would take a lot more than a 'Can my friend, Kari come to the academy with me?' to get her into the school.
I ran back to my dorm and we had to learn about each other a lot before I could learn to trust her. "Kari, let me start by telling you all about me. We are going to be friends so let's start by learning about each other." I told her. She nodded and I began.
"This is my dorm; I live here with my two friends. Their names are Mandy and Jasmine; they only hang out with me sometimes. I stay at DA all the time. I'm an Obelisk Blue Student. Some people refer to me as the Queen of Obelisk Blue. I never consider it. Obelisks hate Slifers all except for me. I never consider that, either. Zane, Jaden, and I are the top duelist at DA.
My brother disappeared without a trace 2 years ago. The only trace we have found since then was his portrait. Jaden is helping me along with Zane. Zane is okay, though he cares only about Obelisks a little too much.
I'm 15 years old, a great duelist like volleyball, and swimming, dueling, watching duels, but most of the time I'm watching Jaden's duels and searching for my brother." I talked on and when I stopped, I had no secrets. Well, maybe a few, but yet again those were too obvious for her not to notice.
"I'm Kari, I'm 14 years old. I love being with my Digimon and visiting the digital world. I rule there and I have problems with my body. My body destroys itself. I get sick a lot and I am the Queen of the Digital World.
I have the crest or symbol of light. It symbolizes my 7 friends and my unity, the sun's power and light, and the 8 points of Digi-power. It and the crest of Hope are the two strongest and hardest to control powers.
T.K. has the crest of Hope. He is just like Jaden, over confident at some points. T.K. and I like the digital world better than the other worlds in much more peaceful." Kari had finished and I was staring awkwardly. "What Alexis is something wrong?" Kari asked.
I answered Kari oddly, "Yes, how many worlds are there? See my brother disappeared into a strange place and I was kidnapped and taken to a strange place. It was dark and scary. I think he called it the…
"…Shadow Realm. Darkest Place in the world, it draws to itself only the lighthearted people. Sadly, it tries to eliminate the good. You might have heard of Shadow Duelists. I always thought that you could only get pulled into but sadly, The Millennium Items can pick and trap people in the Shadow Realm. So why did they pick you?" Kari had explained a lot but I needed more answers.
"He wanted Jaden and since I was the easiest and most valuable thing to Jaden, he took me. My brother is a different story. He tried to duplicate the Shadow Games and you know what they say if you play with fire, you're going to get burned. Well, it's the same with the Shadow Realm. They almost got Jaden and I, as well." I answered her question and I handed her two pictures. They were scaring her. "You okay, Kari?"
"Yeah, but this is bad. Tampering with powers this strong is dangerous. You might see your brother again. The chance is slight but if Jaden can battle and save you once he could probably save your brother." Kari replied. She wasn't scared just concerned, for me and for the whole world. I felt the weight of the whole world crushing me and I felt better now that I had Jaden and Kari helping me hold the weight. I know this sounds funny but the more people help me the worse I feel. I feel I'm putting them in danger, and the chance they'll survive is getting greater but if it's even some, I'm concerned.
"You know what? I know how you feel. I have an older brother too. Tai, he is just like Atticus. If he had not tampered with the Digi-egg in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess. You look very upset today is something bothering you. You are worried aren't you… about Jaden, right?." Kari was getting into all of my business. I guess I was a bit too obvious for my own good anyway. I didn't feel like worrying about her finding out about that or worrying for Jaden tonight anyway.
"I think we should go to bed and get a good night's sleep. It's a Saturday and we need our rest. I'll set up a cot in my closet, my closet is about is big as Jaden's room. The girls will be fine with it." I said. I talked to my friends and they were very concerned on why I was not being my normal self. I told them that I'm still in astonishment of how Jaden found that picture of Atticus. They are going to be snoopier more than ever now that I'm hiding something, so I'm only going to have to talk to them about only the necessary things.
Kari agreed with me she was more concerned with me than I was with anything right now. I am out of my wits trying to figure everything else out. I wish someone else were here to help me out.
Jaden seems to talk to his duel monsters. It works it calms him down he defiantly is calmer. He seams to hear things to help him play the game. I wish I could talk to my duel monsters.
Later that night, after Mandy and Jasmine were asleep. I went into my closet and talked with Kari about why I was upset. She told me that she dragged in more people than she should of, trying to save her world. She also told me that she was very young when this whole thing started, she didn't know she brought this upon herself. She remembered how Tai would always blame himself when something went wrong or someone got hurt. She understands why now.
I told her how I have been keeping everything secret for a while only Zane and I knew about this, I have no clue how Jaden found out about that place but I don't usually refuse help so this time wasn't any different. I was still scared because I knew if he knew he would drag Syrus and Chumsley into it to. I was fine with Jaden putting danger is Shadow Realm danger because he could get himself out but Syrus and Chumsley couldn't do even when there lives are in danger. She asked me about myself.
I knew from the beginning that I was putting myself in danger; I never did care what happened to me like my reckless dueling strategies. I now understand the vary point to all of this and it's beginning to frighten me.
I woke up the next day and went to class. I liked the class it was on judging on how well a deck's constructed. It taught how different strategies work for different people. It was a great class; it taught me that decks like mine have ups and downs to every element.
Jaden had a hard time with the concepts but he constructed his deck with barely any down points which is very hard to do. I had enrolled Kari, as a trial student for two months if she did well she can stay if not she'll just stay hidden in the closet. It'll be fine, she is going to do great, with the extra deck cards Jaden has plus the skills he has with combinations. I also know how to build card decks with all weak cards. I passed the test easily and taught it to Jaden easily. He is easily bored that's why the classes are hard on him.
(Flashback) –Revised Edition-
"Jaden! Pay attention!" I yelled. He was sleeping on his desk through classes, again. I sighed. He opened his eyes, sitting up and wiping the sleep from them. I sighed, "You're soooo not taking these classes seriously Jaden." I said.
"They're boring." He said. "You think you can teach me this stuff? I know I can't teach myself. If you're that willing to make me smart then why don't you teach me?" He begged.
"What? How am I supposed to help you?" I asked.
"Just try, please?" He begged. "They'll kick me out. I am at the bottom of all my classes, except the dueling classes." I sighed, I guess it wouldn't hurt to help him. I went to the dueling room.
"What to start with?"
"Duel Construction?" He asked. "I'm good at it so it's a good place to start, right Lex?"
"I guess. You have a good deck you're right. You'll just need some help with trying to arrange your strategy to match you!" I said happily. He sat down next to me at a table and we laid out his deck in front of us. "What's your DR?" I asked him.
"Um… help me out with the terminology won't you Lex?" I sighed.
"Deck Ratio. 1:3:1. Like that."
"Ah." I waited him to respond. I sighed. "I don't know. You thought I knew. Of course I wouldn't Alexis. That's hilarious." I sighed.
Tutoring Jaden was a total nightmare. I had to bring everything to simpleton's terms and went through with him slowly but surprisingly he was really good at it, like he said. He knew what to do to make a strong deck he just needed the 'big words' so that he could apply them to the test. I talked to the teacher and he let me make an assistant paper for Jaden that translated the terms from 'Jaden' to 'Professor' terms. It was annoying but it gave him his first real chance at doing well at class. He did better, a lot better. He was glad for my help.
(After Exam) He ran up to me. I was talking with Mandy and Jasmine. "Hey Lex!" Jaden called. I turned around. "I wanted to thank you for tutoring me yesterday and that paper. It was easier thanks to you. I think I actually got a good grade. Thank you so much. Well I see you're busy, so bye." He ran off and I simply nodded.
"You're welcome." I didn't tutor him much after that. A few times in different classes. Once, I made him a similar paper to that one he had everything he needed to do it on his own. He actually paid attention when I was tutoring him, surprisingly.
(Flashback Over)
If I could turn a slack off like Jaden was when it comes to grades into a B average student with one lesson with a real attentive student like Kari, she would surely be great.
