Welcome to my newest story! This is my first non crossover story, and I'm so excited to write it! There may be some songs at some point, but that's just because I like music and like to apply songs to feelings and events.

Two Hearts

Chapter 1

As I step off the boat, I feel a gentle sea breeze ruffle my curly brown hair. I had just arrived at Duel Academy (DA) Island, where one of the most prestigious schools to teach up and coming duelists is. I am a third year Obelisk blue student, and for one year I am studying abroad here.

"Finally, land." My brother, Jim Cook, says coming up behind me. He and I come from South Academy (SA), but we, along with three other students from North Academy (NA), West Academy (WA), and East Academy (EA), are studying abroad at DA for one school year.

"Yup. Solid ground." I reply, noting that it does feel good to be standing on something that isn't swaying under my feet.

Suddenly the boy with teal blue hair and emerald green eyes that I believe is from NA runs past us after a small blue and red blur. "Ruby!" He calls, drawing attention to himself without noticing it.

"What was that?" I ask myself.

"What was what?" Jim asks, having heard my question.

"That little blur that guy was chasing." I reply to him.

He looks at me like I have two heads. "Beccara, he wasn't chasing anything as far as I saw."

"Oh." I say so that he can hear me. "But I know I saw something." I say in a whisper too quiet for him to hear.

"Alright, you five…" The only teacher who had been on the boat with us, Professor Viper, pauses as he only counts four of us now that the NA guy had run off. "Where's the other boy?" He questions those of us remaining.

"He ran off that way." The guy with read hair and glasses covering gray eyes from EA says pointing in a vague direction.

Viper seems to consider going after him, but decides against it because he ran into the woods and Viper was about as familiar with the landscape as we are, which isn't very.

"Well, we have to attend a Welcome Ceremony, so I'll lead the way to the school." He says, taking charge and starting down the main road.

We all follow him, neither the EA nor WA, a dark skinned guy with black dreadlocks, guys talk to each other or the teacher, who I believe taught at WA. Jim was never one much for silence, so he talks to me.

"Are you excited at being here at all? Or are you still mad at me?" He asks me, referring to the fight we had before we left. You see, Jim was supposed to be the only one from our school to study here, but he said he wouldn't go if I couldn't go with him. Our Chancellor, Chancellor Hunter, agreed to his terms because he is the best student at our school, and I'm not bad either, so I wouldn't embarrass the school. I'm probably about sixth in our school.

"You know I'm not still mad, but seriously, you made a lot of people mad at me because of that." I explain him, since he doesn't seem to get that at all.

"Really? That doesn't make any sense." He replies. Jeez, he really doesn't get it.

"They feel I'm getting special treatment because of my condition." I state.

"Well…" He starts, but then we get to the main school building and there is another teacher with us now. He… She…? I don't know their gender but they are a stick like teacher with long white blonde locks pulled into a purple hair elastic while he is wearing an Obelisk blue jacket.

"Ah, you all must be the exchange students. My name is Dr. Crowler." The person introduces. Great, no Mr. or Mrs., just Dr. I suppress giggles that threaten to come out.

"Very nice to meet you, Dr. Crowler. I'm the new teacher, Professor Viper." Viper introduces himself.

"Why are there only four of them?" Crowler asks, looking fearful.

"Unfortunately, the other one ran off as soon as we got here." Viper says.

"No that's not good. The Ceremony starts in ten minutes!" Crowler exclaims. Suddenly his phone rings and he picks it up.

Phone conversation:

"Hello Chancellor Sheppard." Crowler answers.

"Where are you? The ceremony starts in two minutes!" Sheppard shouts, worried that the ceremony will start late.

"I thought there was still ten minutes! The last student hasn't arrived yet." Crowler replies.

"You lost him?!" He yells. Sighing, he says, "Fine, bring the four with you and go find the fourth."

"Ay, ay, Sir." Crowler says.

Beccara's POV:

Crowler hangs up the phone and asks, "Who are you three?"

"My name's Jim." Jim introduces.

"I'm Beccara." I state.

"Adrian's my name." The guy from EA says.

"And I'm Axel. I think the missing guy's name is Jesse if that's any help." The WA explains.

He nods and leads us down a bunch of hallways to the Assembly room.

"Wait here until your names are called." He says when we get to a door as he walks in. Viper nods his assent. He's kinda creepy, like a military general or something.

We all stand there in silence. I don't really care much for small talk, but Jim obviously doesn't seem to like the silence. "So what's it like at your schools?"

"Probably the same as yours, just with different people. They were all created by Seto Kaiba." Axel says, not seeming to care much for small talk either.

"Yeah they were. He's probably making a lot of money off the tuition of the students from all the schools, because the tuition is really high." Adrian explains, showing off his smarts.

"Oh." Is all Jim has time to say before a call comes through the door.

"Axel Brody." A voice calls loudly.

"That's my cue. See you later." Axel says as he goes through the door and a round of applause is heard.

"Jim Cook."

"See you in a second." Jim waves as he goes and an even louder round of applause breaks out.

"Beccara Cook."

"I guess they're going in alphabetic order." I shrug, going through the door. Applause breaks out, probably because I am the first girl and only new girl. That would explain the more enthusiastic response from the guys. I sit down beside Jim.

"Adrian Gecko."

Adrian walks out and waves with a polite applause and he comes and sits down beside me.

"Jesse Andersen."

This time no one comes.

This is a rewrite for two reasons; one, this one gives me more freedom with my character, and two, no one seemed to like the original. Please review, I'll update once I get a review.
