Chapter One-New Arrivals

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh GX or its characters. However, the following story and the made-up characters I do own.

3rd person POV

Duel Academy, the remote, prestigious dueling school, where hundreds of students attend and find out their prowess in both classes and in duels. There is no substitute for Duel Academy and no school has more attending it than this school. The academy has also had its fair share of supernatural things and beings, from the terrible Shadow Riders, to the Yubel incident that plagued the school last year. But when Duel Academy thought it has seen the last of its weird stuff, boy they were far from the truth.

On the ferry, hundreds of new students were standing around, some talking to others, some doing some practice duels and some just staring out into the vast sea.

One of these people was a boy, around 18; with short nearly buzz cut dark brown hair and deep chocolate brown eyes. This duelist name was Tony Mars and he recently transferred from East Academy. As he looked across the sea, his thoughts were a jumble running around in his head.

'Can't believe my parents made me transfer to this academy, he thought. I was having so much fun at East and I never wanted to leave.' 'Something tells me this will be an interesting year at Duel Academy.'

Unbeknownst to Tony, someone was watching him from across the boat. Her name was Kaitlyn Johnson. Kaitlyn has long, flowing auburn hair that stopped at the middle of her spinal cord. She also had ice blue eyes but instead of holding coldness like many people would come to believe; her eyes held warmth and comfort and held the promise of a good friendship. At that particular moment, she gazed at the duelist.

'Hmm I wonder what's going through his mind, she wondered.' But before she could go and ask him, another female voice shouted out to her from across the distance.

"Kaitlyn, oh my god I can't believe I am seeing you." Kaitlyn turned her head to the noise and she found herself looking at her long time friend, Kristin Hart. Kristin had short blonde hair, which was usually pulled up into a bun. She had deep blue eyes and she almost looked like Kaitlyn. In fact many people would mistake them for twins, but sadly, Kaitlyn and Kristin were not twins. But the way they acted and thought was undeniably close and precise.

"Never thought I would see u on this boat Kristin, she replied calmly." "Well, I never thought you would take up dueling again, said Kristin." "Yeah…parents wanted me to do something else rather than sit on my butt." "Don't all parents want their children to do something else rather than to sit on their butts?" "You make a good point Kristin but still dueling, questioned Kaitlyn. You would think they would put me in something more strenuous like track or swimming." "Oh well, Kristin bluntly replied. Anyway I'll see ya around yeah?" "Yeah, see you around Kristin."

Kristin darted to somewhere else on the boat, leaving Kaitlyn to ponder what she could suspect from Duel Academy. Remembering what she was doing before Kristin caught her attention, she turned back to the browned haired student, to see him still staring out into the sea.

'There must be something about the sea that calms this person, she began thinking.' 'Maybe if I talk to him I can probably find something out.'

With that in mind, Kaitlyn started weaving her way through the crowd, intent on getting to this brown haired student. Coming up to him, she leaned on the railing, also now looking out across the sea/ocean (depending on what you prefer).

Finally coming out of his thoughts, Tony looked to his right and saw, what he came to believe, an angel. The woman had long auburn hair, right down to her spinal cord (I know I already described Kaitlyn but for all intent and purposes, I decided to describe her again for Tony's purposes). She also had icy blue eyes and was wearing a red blouse and dark blue jeans. Tony could also clearly see a reddish tank top underneath the blouse. He was still staring at her before he realized that she was talking.

"You know, I never liked the ocean very much, she stated. There are too many unknowns and too many things lurk in the ocean." Tony really didn't say anything. He wanted this angel to speak more, to talk/sing her voice to his ears. She continued on, "but I guess that I can understand how some people like to stare at the ocean. When there is no storm and no waves, the ocean is calm and so smoothing to look at. Finally finding his voice, Tony spoke up saying, "That's the main reason why I feel like the ocean is my home. There is no shouting, no cursing, and no bad noise of any kind. Just calm serenity."

Hearing his voice made Kaitlyn's heat beat faster and faster. He was really mature, more so than the guys whom she dated but then was broken up when the guy was not who she thought he was. He also seemed calmer and more down to earth then all those other guys.

She decided to give him a good look over. Even though she was a little taller then most girls, Kaitlyn's height being about 5'7 or 5'8, he was at least 5'10 to 5'11. She also noted he has really deep, dark brown eyes, which held both a lot of comfort but also hosted some pain. He was also really hot, in terms of body. Tony was wearing a black collar shirt and short jeans. His shirt was not long enough to cover his arms, which had really well-defined muscles.

After giving him a look, they both continued talking about miscellaneous stuff, such as their homes, their families and their interests later in life. As they continued to find topics to talk about, a loud voice blared over the system.

"We will be arriving at Duel Academy in about 10 minuets, the announcer pronounced. Please make sure to grab all belongings and keep a close on eye so no one goes overboard (yeah I know this does not happen, but hey, who knows)."

"Well looks like we have to bring this conversation to an end, Kaitlyn said." "Yeah and it was really nice to talk to you to, declared Tony." See ya around, the girl said." "Wait, I never caught your name." "My name is Kaitlyn Johnson, Kaitlyn proclaimed, yours?" "Tony, Tony Mars, Tony said, shaking hands with her. And yes, I to will be seeing you around." She waved bye, disappearing into the crowd. Tony folded his arms. "Hmm, maybe I can find someway to enjoy this year, he told himself." With that happy thought in mind, he turned his back to the crowd and continued watching the ocean.

Please R&R. this is my first ever story and I really need to know how I did.
