Hi, everyone! Here I am with fanfiction number three! This one's a Bastion x Jaden pairing. Like I said before, I may be a hardcore spiritshipping fan, but I think some of the other pairings need a little love.

Disclaimer: Wolf doesn't own Yu-gi-oh GX or Night World, which is a book series that she based this fanfiction off of. She only owns her OC's and the idea.

Here we go! Enjoy!

Chapter 1: A Smashing Entrance

It was about late in the afternoon at Duel Academy, and most everyone was in their dorms either doing homework or relaxing. Bastion Misawa, Ra Yellow and the smartest guy at the academy was no exception. As usual, the room was covered in equations that only Bastion could understand, but he wasn't scribbling away at them like he usually was. Instead, he was working at his computer.

At first glance, someone would think was coming up with different strategies for his many decks. But a closer look would reveal that the web browser was open to several sites related to 'dream theory' or anything related to dreams. How they're made, how to control them, how food and music influenced them and even some websites with psychics talking about the hidden meaning in dreams.

Whatever Bastion was doing, he must have been pretty desperate if he was looking at psychics, which his logic refused to let him believe in.

'What's going on with me?' He wondered. Bastion was thinking he was going mad, or he was having some severe stress problems.

It wasn't the paranoid feeling that he was being followed that was getting to him, nor was it the even more paranoid feeling that someone wanted to kill him. It was the weird dreams that were getting to him. He would rarely remember what was going on in his dreams. When he could remember, he was at some kind of mansion trying to get inside, but he couldn't. He didn't know why he couldn't get inside, but he knew he had to. Whether it was to help someone inside or to escape someone outside, he didn't know.

Thus, he is here, on the computer looking at websites with things he doesn't believe in because he thinks he's losing his mind. Not really helping his case, is he?

He hadn't told the others about any of this, wanting to deal with it on his own. The only person who knew what was going on was Jaden, and that experience puzzled him almost as much as the dreams themselves.

It had happened yesterday, near the end of school. The class had just ended, but Bastion was unaware because he had been pretty much phasing in and out of focus during the day.

When class ended, Bastion was almost entirely out when he felt a hand on his shoulder, jolting him back to awareness. He turned to see a familiar red jacket and brown eyes looking at him with concern.

"Hey, Bastion, you okay?" Jaden asked, looking really concerned for his friend and rival (and secret crush). "You almost fell asleep in class, and that's not like you."

Bastion yawned and rubbed his eyes, trying to get the sleep out of them. "Sorry I haven't been sleeping well lately."

Jaden sat in the chair in front of him and leaned in on Bastion's desk to get a closer look at the Ra's face. "What's wrong?"

"I've been having nightmares." Bastion answered, leaning into his hand, not noticing how close he was to Jaden's face. Jaden seemed to notice, but he didn't move.

"About what?" He asked with a slight tremor in his voice.

Bastion heard it. He looked at Jaden and noticed how close they were. He wanted to draw away, but at the same time just continued to stare into Jaden's chocolate brown eyes. He didn't want to tell Jaden what was going on, but he soon found himself telling the Slifer the truth. As Bastion explained his dreams, he noticed Jaden was starting to look more scared than worried. But when he blinked, that look was gone, so he assumed he had just imagined it.

"Why don't you go and get some sleep," Jaden suggested, getting up from where he was sitting.

Bastion wanted to argue that he was fine, but looking at Jaden, he found he couldn't argue with the Slifer (who he also had a crush on).

"Okay." He conceded and got up to head back to his room, but then Jaden got his attention with an odd statement.

"Oh, and Bastion? Be careful." With that, Jaden walked the other way, leaving Bastion with an ominous feeling.

'I still don't know what he meant by that.' Bastion thought.

He assumed Jaden meant to be careful not to do anything too strenuous or too focus oriented, but he was feeling doubtful about that. The way he said that made it sound like he was in some kind of danger.

And on this island, danger often stopped by for a surprise test. Right now, though, things were quiet, so at the moment what was there to worry about.

Those were his thoughts right before he heard the crash and commotion downstairs.

CLIFFHANGER! (I've always wanted to do that)

What's going on with Bastion? And what does Jaden know? You'll find out next time. I swear I'm working on my other fanfictions, but I'm also a senior in high school, so I have a lot on my mind. Anyway, read, review, and we'll see you soon.
