Hey, everyone, I've got a new one! It's a classic 'Jaden is the son of Seto Kaiba' story.
Jaden's also going to use a Spellcaster deck instead, along with being the reincarnation of Atem's son, Judai, the Prince of Light, who also held an ancient dragon spirit called the Elemental Dragon, which Jaden is in search of.
He can also use magic, like his late mother, and he has an older brother and a younger sister. Plus, Seto's going to be engaged to Joey, since I love this pairing.
This is a lot for one story, I couldn't decide on just one, so I went with all of them. There will also be more plot devices in the future, but those will be kept a secret until then.
Disclaimer: Wolf doesn't own Yu-gi-oh or Yu-gi-oh GX, if she did Joey and Seto would have gotten together.
On with the story!
Chapter 1: Enter a Champion
It was about eight in the morning in Domino City. At the Kaiba mansion, the sun was trying to enter the room of a fifteen-year-old boy, who was sound asleep.
The room in question was red and black, and a bit messy. There were also some books on magic, sorcery, charms, herbs, and rituals of various religions spread about, along with books on Egypt and the Shadow Games.
The boy himself has short brown hair with a light brown patch on top and slightly tan skin. If you could see his eyes, they would be brown.
While he was sleeping, he was also being observed by two transparent figures. Both looked exactly like him, only one had red eyes and was dressed in royal Egyptian clothing and jewelry, and the other had gold eyes and was wearing spiky black armor. Their names were Judai and Haou, and they were both looking at the boy with either amusement or annoyance.
"Should you wake him up or should I? Or should we get Blast Magician out here?" Haou, the one in armor, asked, turning to Judai.
"No, I'm positive Ben is going to come rushing up here any second," Judai replied, referring to the boy's older brother.
Haou nodded.
Then, both spirits disappeared when they heard someone coming. Just as they left, the door was knocked open with a tremendous amount of force. The light hit the sleeping boy's face, causing him to grumble angrily as he stirred slightly.
"JADEN! WAKE UP, YOU LAZY BUM!" A voice shouted from the door.
In the doorway stood a young man, who looked about nineteen years old. He was about 6'2" with a slender, sleek build that made him look taller. He had brown hair in a similar style to Jaden's, only spikier and all one shade of brown, and his eyes were blue like his father's. He was currently wearing a yellow t-shirt, tan cargo pants, and gray ankle socks.
The sleeping boy, Jaden, just turned over with a groan. Ben growled in frustration and stomped over to his brother's bed. With both hands, he grabbed hold of the blanket and yanked it off the bed, which also pulled Jaden to the floor because he was clutching at it.
"That was mean, Benji," He muttered, now awake.
Ben helped his little brother off the floor before speaking. "Jaden, you need to get ready. The Duel Academy entrance exams will be starting in two hours."
"I know, I know," Jaden responded, getting tired of his brother's nagging. "Dad and I made the test, remember? Even if I do pass with flying colors, I'm still going to ask to be in Slifer Red."
"Why?"
"Because I want people to judge me for me, not my last name." The younger boy responded, gathering his things for a shower.
"I take it that's why your application has the last name Yuki on it instead of Kaiba."
"Yup." With that, Jaden left the room and headed to the bathroom.
Ben just shook his head. His brother was so fixated on trying to make a reputation that was all him.
He was about to walk out of the room when a picture on his brother's nightstand caught his eye. It was a picture of him, Jaden, their father, and a woman with shoulder length light brown hair, brown eyes, an average height, and at the time, heavily pregnant.
That was their mother, Audrey Kaiba, who had worked as an insurance agent. She had met their father when they met to discuss insurance plans after an accident. It was love at first. They had dated, gotten married, and had him, his brother, and their little sister, Rika. Unfortunately, their mother had died a few years after giving birth to her in a car crash.
"You'd be proud of Jay, Mom. I know you would also like the new person in Dad's life, too." Ben said with a smile as he headed out the door.
A short while later, Jaden came downstairs wearing a red t-shirt under a black jacket with red outlines and blue jeans. He went into the kitchen and found his dad reading the paper, his brother and future step-sister eating breakfast, and his sister having her hair brushed by their dad's fiance, Joey.
His little sister had waist-length light brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. She was wearing a white dress and sandals with a dark pink flower-like bow in her hair.
The other girl, Joey's daughter Kimberly, had some different traits to Rika. While she was the same height as Rika, give or take, her skin was more tan. She had dirty blond hair like her father and doe-brown eyes. Her hair went just past her shoulders and was currently in a ponytail. She was wearing a hot pink sleeveless shirt with a black hood on it and dark blue capris.
His father was wearing his usual black outfit, and white trench coat while Joey wore his uniform for his job as a chef.
Seto looked up from his paper and gave his youngest son a look of disapproval. "So, you finally decided to join us, Jaden?"
"Leave him alone, Seto. Everyone sleeps late once in a while," Joey scolded lightly, before adding, "Well, everyone except you."
The other siblings laughed, though Ben had to try and keep himself from choking on his breakfast, too.
"Thanks, Joey," Jaden said, smiling at his soon-to-be-step-father.
Seto had run into Joey after he had found him working in a restaurant that Kaiba Corp. owned. They had rekindled a friendship after meeting again and that had blossomed into a relationship. After being encouraged by his kids, Seto proposed to Joey and they were now planning their wedding.
On the other side of the matter, Kimberly was nervous about her father meeting someone. She knew things had been bad between Joey and her mother, the latter she had never even met, and didn't want her father to be hurt again. Their relationship had been on and off for most of the time, with her mother doing the stringing along and leaving and coming. When Kim was born, she left her with her father and then broke things off for good. Kim had never been told these things directly, but she overheard conversations. Thankfully, the Kaiba siblings were able to help win her over, and she was part of the family.
"He'll be fine, Dad. After all, he is a Kaiba." Ben said with a smirk.
Seto gave a slight smile, then went back to his paper.
After a quick breakfast, Jaden headed back upstairs to grab some things before hitting the road to the Kaiba Dome.
"You seem eager for Duel Academy." Spoke a beautiful female voice. He turned to see the spirits of Mystical Elf and Lyna the Light Charmer behind him, who he called Mystic and Lyna.
"You could say that." Jaden laughed as he went through his books.
"Hey, I looked over your shoulder while you were working on your application. Is the pride thing the only reason you don't want to use your last name?" Lyna asked.
"Ben told me the horror stories about the Obelisk girls, especially the fangirls. I am not about to go through that." Jaden grimaced and shuddered as he remembered the horror his brother went through with those psychos.
He heard chuckling both behind him and in his head. Ignoring it, he grabbed his phone, his laptop, a spellbook, a few paperbacks, a notepad and pencils, a pair of sunglasses, and an iPod with headphones. With those in a black and red bag, Jaden turned back to the state of his room.
Figuring he should clean it before he leaves, Jaden snapped his fingers and scene out of Mary Poppins happened. The books put themselves back on the shelves and everything started moving on their own. In under a minute, the room was spotless.
As someone has probably guessed, Jaden can use magic, real magic. Out of his blood siblings, Jaden was the only one with the gift. His mother had been able to use magic and came from a long line of magic users. She was able to teach Jaden the basics of his abilities before she died, from there he learned on his own. This was one secret that always had to stay secret.
Once everything was in its place, Jaden grabbed his deck and duel disk and headed downstairs. When he got there, he saw his dad and future step-dad talking with a man with spiky tri-colored hair, purple eyes, and wearing a Domino High uniform, which is surprising since he was around the same age as his dads.
And he knew him well. "Yugi!"
The three men turned around, Yugi smiling at the young heir. "Hello, Jaden. I heard you were going to Duel Academy as Ben did."
Ben had graduated from Duel Academy a year earlier. He was put in blue and used his real name. He didn't care what people thought about him. He knew he was good, and that was all that mattered. After graduation, he took a job at Seto's company as a representative, since he never saw the appeal of big tournaments like his dad did. Meanwhile, he was also going to college for business classes so that he could take over the company in the future.
Jaden, though, wanted to take where he came from out of the equation and earn his respect his way. He also wanted to take up the Duel Monster mantle of the Kaibas, the Wheelers, and the title of King of Games.
"Yup, but no one except a few people are going to know who I am," He said, smiling.
"Uncle Yugi!" Called Rika as she and Kim ran down the stairs, Ben walking behind them.
The game king caught the girls in a hug and laughed. "Hey, how are my other three godchildren?"
Seto had asked Yugi to his kids' godfather, as kind of a thank you for 'saving my life more times than I'd like to remember.'
"I was planning to go enjoy my last weekend of freedom before school started," Kim said, holding up her roller skates.
"And Jaden's going to Dad's school!" Rika added.
"I know, I came here to see him off," Yugi said, reaching into his deck case. "I also have something for all four of you."
The girls smiled wide and stepped back to see what it was. Yugi then gave a card to each of them.
"Oh, it's so cute!" Rika squealed, her card being Stealth Bird.
"Mine too!" Kim added, her card being one of the new members of Kuriboh family, called Kuribon.
"Nice, this will come in handy." Ben acknowledged, having been given Light and Darkness Dragon.
Finally, Jaden got his card. Yugi had given him one of the newest Kuriboh's to the family, Winged Kuriboh.
"Thanks, Yugi," He thanked with a smile.
He could feel a Duel Spirit in this card along with the ones given to his brother and sisters. Jaden's ability to see Duel Spirits was far stronger compared to his siblings since he could see his own and those of other duelists. His sister could only see her Duel Spirits, and Ben could only hear his Duel Spirits. Kim couldn't see or hear spirits, but she could sense them.
"You're welcome, and good luck at the exams," Yugi said, even though he also knew Jaden had helped make the tests.
"Thanks! Bye, everyone, I'll see you later this afternoon!" Jaden said, slipping on his black sneakers. He said a few more goodbyes and then was on his way.
The Kaiba Dome
About an hour later, because of a late train, Jaden arrived at the exams. He could have used a teleportation spell, but he had wanted to walk.
He registered at the front desk and went to take the written portion of the exam. He sped through it since he knew all the answers, so he read one of his books for a while before they gave everyone a number showing when they'll duel.
'Ironic. First one done and I'm the last one to duel.' Jaden thought, seeing his number.
He found a spot by the top of the stairs in the arena and sat down, taking out his paperback and iPod to kill time. On occasion, he would glance down at the duels, and there were a few that piqued his interest.
He soon sensed someone approaching him, hesitantly.
"E-excuse me?" Came a soft voice from his right. He turned to see a short boy with light blue hair and glasses. "C-Can I sit here?"
Jaden looked at him for a moment and smiled. "Sure."
The other boy nodded, still nervous, and sat down beside him. "I'm Jaden, what's your name?"
"I-I'm Syrus, nice to meet you." The bluenette, now known as Syrus, stuttered.
Jaden was beginning to get the impression that this guy was shy around others. They just sat there in awkward silence until a duel down on the field caught their attention.
It was between a boy about their age wearing a grayish-white uniform and a dueling proctor. On the field in front of the proctor were two defense position monsters known as Gear Golem the Moving Fortress (800/2200) and Big Shield Gardna (100/2600). The monster opposing the duel proctor was Vorse Raider (1900/1200), and there was also a face-down spell/trap card.
"Alright, new guy," The proctor called to the boy. "Multiple choice; you have two monsters staring ya down, do you A: throw in the towel, B: beg for mercy, or C: run home to mama?"
"I'll go with D: none of the above!" The boy with dark hair announced before the face down flipped up.
"A trap!?" The proctor gasped.
"Exactly," The applicant said with a smirk before he went on to explain. "You see, with Ring of Destruction I can destroy any monster on the field that's in attack position, and then we both take damage equal to its attack points."
A ring of red bombs appeared around Vorse Raider's neck and exploded on impact, dropping the boy's life points to 1300, while the proctor's dropped to zero, ending the duel. The holograms disappeared, and the proctor spoke.
"Clever move, applicant," He said. "Welcome to the academy."
The boy bowed and said, "Thank you, oh, wise proctor."
Up in the stands, three boys wearing Obelisk Blue uniforms were also watching the boy's duel.
"Wow, that guy's pretty good don't 'cha think, Chazz?" The boy with blue hair, glasses, and a southern accent, named Taiyou Maki, said.
"Guess the rumors about him being some kind of whiz kid were true, huh Chazz, huh?" The boy with short, spiky brown hair, called Raizou Goki, asked in a thick voice.
"He's a punk," The person they were talking to, a spiky, black-haired kid named Chazz Princeton, said. "We went to Duel Prep School for the past three years. We're ready for the academy. These kids don't know what they're getting into, but they'll learn… the hard way, the Chazz Princeton way."
"Nice one," Jaden praised. "Not many duelists can sacrifice their monsters with the odds being completely in their favor like that."
The blue haired boy turned to him. "Yeah, Bastion Misawa. They say he got one of the highest scores out of all us applicants."
"Wow." Jaden mused. 'I was told I tied scores with someone. Now I know who.'
"I just barely passed," Syrus added, looking somewhat depressed. "I kinda have this thing where I get test anxiety. I don't know how I won my match."
"So, you're in," Jaden said, supportively. "Congratulations, I'll be in too just as soon as I win my duel. I'm the last one up."
A moment later, Bastion made his way up to the stands and sat down in the row in front of them.
"Good duel, Bastion." Jaden praised him, getting the other boy's attention.
"Thank you." He said modestly.
"From where I stand, you might just pose an actual challenge," Jaden added, catching Bastion by surprise.
But before he could say anything, the PA system came on. "Jaden Yuki, please report to exam field four."
"Finally!" Jaden exclaimed, getting up to leave. "Wish me luck, guys!"
But he didn't get very far before Bastion stopped him. "Wait. What did you mean by actually posing a challenge?"
The brunette turned to him and smirked. "Simple, no one's been able to beat me yet."
'Nobody my age, anyway.' He added in his head before he turned and walked down the stairs to the exam field.
"Wow, he's so sure of himself," Syrus said, amazed. "I wonder if he's really that good."
"He's going to need to be," Bastion inputted, turning their attention to the field. "Look who he's dueling."
Down on the field, Jaden rose up on a platform, calm yet eager for a duel. On the other side of the field, stood a teacher named Dr. Vellian Crowler, headmaster of the Obelisk Blue boys dorm and the Vice-Chancellor.
He could easily be mistaken for a woman, but never tell him that. He wore a blue blazer with gold accents and pink ruffles. He had long blond hair in a ponytail and purple lipstick. Jaden had heard about this guy from Ben and had questioned his dad several times about why he had been hired.
"All right, test time!" Crowler said, looking at Jaden with confidence. "So, son, your name?"
Jaden turned and stared at him with equal confidence; only his was more hidden. "Jaden, Jaden Yuki."
"Well, Jaden Yuki, I'm Doctor Vellian Crowler, Department Chair and Techniques Professor here at Duel Academy." Crowler introduced himself with pride dripping from his voice.
"Oh, you're a teacher," Jaden said, a cheeky smile appearing on his face. "From how you were dressed, I thought you were the school mascot."
Crowler got annoyed at that.
"Now that he mentions it…" Taiyou said.
"That guy's got some lip, huh Chazz?" Raizou voiced.
Chazz just growled, not pleased with what Jaden was saying down there.
Crowler activated what he called his 'Duel Vest' and drew his opening hand. Jaden looked at the machinery with curious eyes, surprised that people still used those. Crowler mistook it as being impressed, but he didn't say anything.
"Alright! Time to throw down!" The Kaiba heir said strongly, activating his duel disk and drawing his opening hand.
"Duel!"
Crowler: 4000
Jaden: 4000
"I'm up," Jaden said as he drew his first card.
He looked over his hand and made a plan. He had heard about Crowler's dueling style from his brother, so he figured it would be best to set up a strong defense before going on the offense.
"First, I play the spell Double Summon, which lets me summon twice this turn and I summon the two Magician's Valkyries in my hand to the field in defense mode." Two identical girls, who looked strikingly like Dark Magician Girl only with red hair, armor, and hook-like scepters, appeared on the field. They crossed their wands, causing some electrical shield to form in front of Jaden.
"Since I have two of them on the field, your attacks are locked down. Lastly, I set one card face-down and end my turn." A facedown card appeared behind the monsters.
"Alright, teach, bring it on!" Jaden said, confidently.
"Yes, of course," Dr. Crowler said dismissively as he drew his card, also muttering, "Don't tell me what to do."
'After all, since I'm using my own personal deck rather than one of those puny test decks, I'll be calling all the shots. I'll fail this miserable little brat and send him home in no time.' He grinned when he saw the cards in his hand.
"I think I'll start out nice and easy, by playing the spell card Confiscation!"
"Not good," Jaden muttered, but still stayed calm.
"No, it's not. What it does is allow me to pay 1000 life points to take a look at your hand and then send one of your cards to the graveyard." As he was explaining, Jaden's hand glowed, startling him, and then holographic images of those cards appeared in front of Crowler. They were Monster Reborn, Summoner Monk, and Gemini Elf.
"Ah yes, I remember some of these back from when I was a naive rookie." This comment caused Jaden to growl, but Crowler didn't notice.
"Now which one shall I banish?" He looked at each card carefully before making a decision. "Monster Reborn to the graveyard!"
Jaden's card was sent there.
"Next, I'll set two cards face down," Two face-down's appeared in front of Crowler, and then he held up one more card. "And last, but not least, I play Heavy Storm! This spell destroys every other spell and trap card that's out on the field."
A heavy wind picked up and Jaden's face down, Draining Shield, was destroyed along with Crowler's two face-down's.
This didn't escape Jaden's sight. "Hey, you know you just destroyed your face-downs, right?"
"Now, now, you mustn't speak out-of-turn, young scholar." Crowler countered.
After that, dark clouds began to form around his side of the field.
"Hey, what's happening?" The brunette boy asked tensely. His Valkyries tensed as well.
"Nothing's happening," Crowler said dismissively before adding, "Not yet!"
Just as he did, two gold dragon-worm-like creatures appeared on his side of the field. "But that's about to change."
The audience was amazed by the two creatures, but Syrus was confused. "Could someone tell me what's going on?"
"Those two face downs that Dr. Crowler had out were called Statue of the Wicked," Bastion explained as he observed the duel. "It's a special trap that creates a vicious monster token when it's destroyed by a card effect. That's why he played Heavy Storm."
"A card that strong couldn't be in the test decks, Crowler must be using his own," Taiyou said.
"Then this duel's over," Raizou said. "No one can beat the deck of an expert like Dr. Crowler."
"Yeah, it's impossible, don't ya think Chazz?"
"Yeah, what do you think, Chazz?"
Chazz grinned smugly. "I think I'm going to enjoy watching Crowler wipe the floor with our mouthy little friend down there. I just wish he had treated all the other second-rate duelists that applied to the academy the same way."
They weren't the only ones to come to that conclusion. Two other duelists were watching the duel a couple of rows above them.
The first person was a girl who had long sandy blond hair and wore the female Obelisk uniform. Her name was Alexis Rhodes, and she was an incoming freshman. The other was a boy was a little taller than her, with dark blue hair and wore the third year Obelisk uniform. His name was Zane Truesdale, a third year and Duel Academy's top student.
"What an elitist snob," Alexis said. "Bullying some amateur with his very best cards."
"You're too soft, Alexis," Zane spoke up, causing her to look at him. "I just hope we get to see that legendary rare card Crowler has stashed away in that deck of his."
"Ready for your next lesson?" Crowler called to Jaden on the other side of the field.
"Bring it!" He answered with excitement and confidence in his voice and a smirk on his face.
Crowler regarded that negatively. "Very well."
His tokens started to glow and writhe in flames. "Now I sacrifice my two Wicked Tokens to summon the Ancient Gear Golem!"
In place of Crowler's tokens stood a giant robotic creature with the working gears seen. Once again, the audience was amazed at the sight of the monster, more so than its stats (3000/3000).
"There it is! That's his legendary rare card!" Alexis gasped.
Even Zane's eyes widened a bit as he observed the duel. "Now it looks like we're about to find out what makes it so legendary."
"Now, now, I hope you're not too scared of my legendary Ancient Gear Golem," Crowler said sarcastically.
Jaden just kept on smirking. "Big monster, but I've fought bigger."
This shocked many people, including Syrus. "Either Jaden's brave or he's nut!"
"He's staring down that legendary rare monster like he doesn't have a care in the world," Zane said, incredulously. "I guess the youth and inexperience have their benefits."
"Give it a rest, Zane," Alexis said, getting tired of his attitude. "At least the kid's showing some backbone."
"There won't be much to show after this."
Dr. Crowler cackled. "I may not be able to attack due to your monsters, but my Ancient Gear Golem should keep your monsters at bay for a while."
'Even if you manage to summon a monster that can destroy my Ancient Gear Golem, I have Monster Reborn in my hand, along with a few other cards that will take out your monsters and leave you wide open for a direct attack by my Ancient Gear Beast. You have no idea what's waiting for you, slacker.' He thought, finishing his turn.
"Oh man, Jaden's doesn't stand a chance!" Syrus fretted as he watched the duel. "Even though his two monsters can stop him from attacking, it's only a matter of time before Dr. Crowler finds a way to get rid of one of the Valkyries and then attack the other one, and it's defense points are way too low."
His shoulders slumped, and he shook his head. "This doesn't look good."
"And in that case scenario it would only get worse," Bastion said as he remembered what he knew about Ancient Gear Golem. "When Ancient Gear Golem attacks a monster in defense mode, the difference between its attack points and the opposing monster's defense points are dealt to the opponent as damage."
"So that means no matter what Jaden does, his life points are going to get hit!" Syrus exclaimed, worried for the brunette.
"Well, it may not be completely hopeless. If your friend's as good as he says he is, he still may be able to turn this duel around." Bastion pointed out.
"Wow, did we really seem like friends?" Syrus asked, feeling sheepish.
Jaden's mind was working a thousand miles a minute, trying to see what Crowler's strategy was if he had one at all. He was also trying to work out a plan of his own. 'Okay, he has no face-downs and a behemoth of a monster in front of him, and if I recall correctly when that monster attacks, all spells, and traps become useless. So, I need to think of a way to get rid of that monster and then strike, hard!'
He looked at the two cards in his hand. 'These guys won't be able to help me in this situation; it all depends on what card I draw right now.'
Jaden drew his next card and made a split decision. "I play Pot of Greed, and get two extra cards."
He drew his new cards and looked at them. They were Magical Dimension and Chaos Command Magician.
'I knew my deck wouldn't fail me.' Jaden thought, smiling, already having a plan in mind that would end this duel.
"You underestimated me, Doc, and that's going to cost you this duel. I play the spell Magical Dimension!" As Jaden activated the spell, Crowler became surprised and scared, knowing what this card did. "Now, I sacrifice one of my Magician's Valkyries to summon my Chaos Command Magician!"
A gold and black coffin appeared, opened, drew in one of the red-headed magicians, and closed. It then reopened and released a blue-skinned spellcaster. He wore dark green robes and a hood with a wand of the same color with a red sphere jewel on the top (2400/1900).
"And now for the other effect of my spell. I can send one of my opponent's monsters to the graveyard. And I can't think of anyone more perfect than your Ancient Gear Golem." The coffin came back up behind the ancient robot and sucked it into the graveyard.
"Next, I switch my remaining Magician's Valkyria to attack mode." The last red-haired magic girl stood into an attacking position.
"Now my magicians, attack directly!" Both mages crossed scepters and charged up their magical energy and struck Crowler dead on, knocking him down with a shout.
Crowler: 0
Jaden: 4000
Jaden pointed his index and middle fingers at Crowler in a kind of salute. "That's game! So, I guess I pass the test, huh, teach?"
As the holograms faded, a lot of people were stunned to see that Jaden had beat a teacher, who was using his real deck, in a duel, and without losing a single life point, too. The whole thing particularly dumbfounded Crowler.
"Impossible," He seethed. "There's no way that this delinquent could beat me!"
Up in the stands, Chazz and his flunkies were just as shocked.
"It must be dumb luck," Chazz muttered through clenched teeth. "No way Crowler would lose to some flunky!"
Alexis, on the other hand, was smiling at Jaden's win. "This kid's got a future here."
Zane just huffed and walked away. What Alexis didn't know was that Zane was wondering why there was something familiar about this new kid. He dueled with the same confidence and skill as Benjamin Kaiba, who he had met in his first year at Duel Academy. Ben had told him that he had a little brother that was planning to go to this school, but this kid had a different last name.
They couldn't be the same person, could they?
Meanwhile, Syrus was cheering for Jaden's win. "Yay! Way to play, Jay!"
'Nice,' Bastion thought as he watched the other duelist wave to the crowd. 'I could use the competition.'
Jaden waved some more, then took out the Winged Kuriboh card he had received that morning. "Sorry I didn't get the chance to use you, Kuriboh. But I get the feeling I'll get another chance in the future."
Winged Kuriboh appeared on his shoulder in spirit form and nodded. Jaden just knew that he was going to be an excellent addition to his deck.
Off to the side, Judai and Haou were watching their current incarnation.
"I'm glad that Jaden was accepted into the academy. He was very excited about it, even if he doesn't seem to care much for school itself." Judai said, smiling fondly at the boy.
"I can only imagine the excitement," Haou said with a whole lot of sarcasm, given as how unless Jaden was in great danger or distress, he didn't care.
"Come now, Haou, try to be happy. Think of it as an adventure." The Egyptian chided, trying to get the other to lighten up a little.
"Then I know we're in danger because all our adventures seem to lead us to trouble." Haou countered.
Jaden laughed quietly as he listened to the spirits argue. No matter what comes, he was sure he was going to enjoy his new school.
Well, that's chapter one.
Read and review, nicely! See you next time
