Second year of being at the Academy, the brunette sighed. A lot had happened in the past year, and even with her being demoted from Obelisk Blue to Ra Yellow. Normally this wouldn't happen to a female, but sometimes if dire situations happened to a student things like this could happen. Start of the second year, whispers going around and rumors as well, Obelisk Blue boys laughing at her, and Obelisk Blue girls saying mean things about her; but none of them personally knew her, she was never one to open up to anyone.

The only female in Ra Yellow, her name was Rosa Kirigakure. Born half-Japanese and half-Australian; her father was Japanese and her mother Australian. Her father lived in America, working for Industrial Illusions and her mother, deceased. An only child, a child with low self-esteem and no confidence in dueling like the previous year; thought worries could go away but they all came back.

Wavy brunette hair, white hair clips holding her hair back, golden eyes a fringe to cover her forehead as well. Normally, the Ra Yellow female outfit was designed just exactly like the females in the blue dorm, but she always hated wearing sleeveless tops; last year, she wore a short sleeve. This year, she chose to wear the male jacket, wearing a black skirt and white knee high socks as well, along with the black boots she had to wear. Her yellow jacket open and showing a v-neck dark blue shirt.

She hoped this year would be better than last year, instead of those sacred beasts and the island being a place where great duelists had to protect it with keys and all. But this year she wanted to pass; however there was more to it than she had thought. Not even knowing what was yet to come.

A sad sigh while the female sat under a tree near her dorm. She knew she shouldn't let those rumors and bad mouths get to her, but somehow it kind of did. From afar, a brown-haired male was running, in search of someone. Stopping he decided to approach her; rumors spread quickly but they also die if something else more important pops up.
"Hey um, aren't you that girl people talk about?"
The male asked looking down, curiously; Rosa's head raised to stare up at him, currently now the best duelist in the school, Jaden Yuki was talking to her.

"Oh, yeah that's me."
She said sadly, looking away; what was he gonna do? He was supposedly really friendly as well, so he probably wouldn't laugh at her, maybe he would? She didn't know. She didn't really care anymore if others laughed at her or not.
"Oh come on, don't let those people get to you. Ya know, if you ask me, it was better if you weren't in Obelisk Blue. You seem like the type to not belong there."

He was trying to cheer her up it seems, and it worked. Rosa smiled slightly at him and nodded her head. "You're right, I don't; and I'm glad I'm not there anymore…blue was never my colour and I didn't really like the uniform." She never liked wearing sleeveless tops, that's why she went with the male jacket.

"Rosa, that's your name…right?" He asked, still smiling and making himself seated beside her. Nodding her head; she didn't have any friends on this island; she found it hard opening herself up to others; but she felt like she could with him and she didn't know why.
"Don't listen to them, if they keep talking like that about you just lemme know, okay?"

"Sure." She couldn't help but smile more; maybe she could finally find someone to be friends with, like him even. Standing up once again he waved quickly.
"I have to go now, if you need me, you know where to find me!" Jaden laughed slightly, as he ran off.

Days later, everyone was being all called to the auditorium they had to go and watch a duel between the schools' best from last year, Zane Truesdale and a pro named Aster Phoenix. When Aster's name was called out her eyes widened slightly, she had been friends with him for a few years of her childhood. He had become a pro, remembering at one time she too, wanted to be a pro. But she gave up that dream. Now watching it, along with everyone else she wasn't really too surprised to see Zane losing to Aster; after he also supposedly got to reveal his new deck as well, it seemed like it had really cool monsters; and he used hero cards, kind of like Jaden did.

Cheeks had turned pink, how many years had it been since she last saw him? She didn't remember, the last was the day before his father was killed; and she hoped whoever did this and got away would be found out and put to justice. It was a humiliating defeat for Zane, and in a way…she kind of felt sorry for him, but surely he could pick himself up; everyone had to lose and win sometime. Not everyone could win, unless it was an interesting duel and both found ways to counter until it came to a tie.

She even had saw on TV, Aster calling Jaden out to duel, without revealing his name on TV.
On that night she noticed something, flashing in the sky and headed out to the school's duel field. She had gone to the duel field and stopped to hide behind a bush; seeing Aster and Jaden there heading inside to duel field, hiding behind the wall to watch them both duel, seeing how interesting it was; and frowning with the two fans squeal for him.

She wasn't too shocked when she saw Jaden lose to him, in a way…it was kind of expected, since Aster was a pro and all; but she didn't know why she was rooting for Jaden to win. Since the duel was over she headed back to her dorm, Aster leaving the duel field and stopped, his head turned to see the back of her, frowning slightly, he didn't think there was anyone else who went to watch the duel as well. Who was she? Probably a fan, and he didn't try to call out to her or anything, he just let it slide.

In her room now, laying on the bed with a sad sigh and felt like she couldn't even sleep either. She just didn't want to face Aster, she felt like she was just shaming herself by facing him so maybe it was best to try and sleep it off for the time being?

Now that it was day time, she had her breakfast and got changed and decided to skip out on class today, she knew she shouldn't supposed to…but it really was up to the students and Jaden never really skipped, it was more like he ate and slept in class. Stopping at the harbor she stared where he was outside and leaning on the rails, where he was outside on his yacht and thinking. Sighing sadly, the female decided to depart and find some place to herself to think. She knew he had a busy schedule for his tour too; so he would probably leave. Not that she blamed him or anything.
