Chapter One

"I can't believe my so called parents are doing this to me!" Edward pouted.

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan were standing at the railing of the Duel Academy boat, staring at Academy Island which was now rapidly approaching.

"They were just looking out for you," Bella said trying to comfort the obviously aggravated Edward, but her soothing words had no effect on her best friend.

He glanced once more at the island, sighed and turned away from the side of the boat. He sat on the deck chairs placed on the unbalanced deck. He placed his head in his hands. (a/n you know every and I mean EVERY time I read this I say placed his hands in his head lol)

"It's not fair. Alice is the one who crashed the car. She's the one who speaks Japanese. And I'm the one who gets sent to a duel academy in Japan? How is that fair? " Edward sighed again.

"Well, technically, you were the one who tries to mess up her hair…while she was driving," Bella explained. (Cli: How did Alice not see this coming! She can see the future after all…)

"How was I to know that she'd let go of the steering wheel?" Edward asked.

"It's Alice. Do you honestly expect her to drive with messed up hair?" Bella questioned. (Cli: What hair? She's bald.)

"I suppose but still…," Edward agreed. "Letting go of the steering wheel was a bit much."

"I'll agree with you there." Bella said, rising from the seat she had taken next to Edward and walking towards the railing to view the now fully visible island. "It's actually quite pretty," Bella stated, trying to raise Edward's hopes.

"I suppose…" Edward muttered gloomily.

"Oh, for duelling's sake, stop being such a depressed idiot!" Bella exclaimed.

Edward snapped his head up and studied Bella's face for a moment, and then suddenly, they both burst out laughing.

"Dueling's sake?" Edward asked, once he had gained enough air to form a coherent sentence. "Trying to get in the spirit of things?"

"I thought…I'd look up…the Academy on the… internet and it's actually…pretty cool. And yes, since you're all depressed and gloomy, one of us has to be somewhat happy." Bella said in a wheezy voice.

Edward just grinned in response and rose to join her at the railing again. They stood looking at the island when Bella shivered.

"Cold?" Edward asked, taking his jacket off to place around he shoulders.

"Just a little," she replied, snuggling into Edward's side.

"Are you really that mad at Carlisle and Esme for sending you here?"

"I'm not really. I'm just not looking forward to starting a new school again. I hate the learning where everything is, learning your timetable, making new friends thing. I've done it too many times now to be happy."

"Ah, so I see. Still I'm here and I'm sure they'll be nice." Bella said, ducking out from under Edward's arm as the boat docked. "So let's go meet these lovely Japanese people." Bella laughed and headed towards the gangway.

Edward grinned his crooked grin and followed. Bella stepped onto the gangway, to see a group of people in blue and white, yellow and red uniforms waiting at the bottom of the walkway. Bella advanced down the walkway with Edward following, but being in a typical Bella state, tripped and almost fell flat on her face, (Cli: Like me!) only to be caught by a brown haired, chocolate brown eyed boy.

"Hey, are you alright?" he said while grinning and lifting her back to her feet.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I've always been a bit of a klutz." She informed them.

"I understand." The boy smiled again. "The name's Jaden Yuki. On my right is my girlfriend, and the most beautiful girl on the planet, Queen of Obelisk Blue, Alexis Rhodes," the blonde girl smiled bashfully and nodded towards them, then turned and slapped Jaden on the arm playfully. She whispered something into his ear and Jaden continued, but not before throwing a grin at Alexis. (Cli does not like Alexis and think she's a whore with fat thighs and should not be allowed to wear mini mini mini skirts with big slits up the sides…in fact no one should)

"Next to Alexis is her brother, Atticus and there's his best friend, Zane Truesdale next to him. Zane here is also a fantastic dueller. On my left here, is one if my best friend, Zane's brother, and fellow Slifer Red, Syrus Truesdale."

Atticus and Syrus just nodded happily, greeting them in a friendly manner but Zane just stared at them with no shame.

Seems like he's checking out the competition… Edward thought. Jaden continued not having noticed the staring competition going on between Edward and Zane.

"Behind Alexis there is Mindy and Jasmine, her best friends and next to Mindy is her boyfriend, Chazz." Mindy and Jasmine waved happily but Chazz grinned at them.

Yes! New students means new people for me to duel! Chazz thought to himself. "And finally, next to Mindy there, is Bastion (Cli: Bastion's sooo Sexy!!). He's a Ra Yellow and he's really smart." Bastion smiled towards them.

"There is one more in our group but he went and got himself detention today. He slept in." Alexis added, her hand now wrapped around Jaden's waist.

"Oh yeah. I'm surprised I didn't get thrown in as well…" Jaden said.

"It's because you're the main member of the 'Welcoming Committee'!" Alexis informed him. The group turned back to a very confused looking Edward and Bella.

"Ammm…it seems silly to ask but what are Slifer Red, Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue?" Bella asked.

"Oh damn. I keep forgetting people don't know about that." Jaden said, slapping himself on the forehead. "Okay, where to start? Here in Duel Academy, there are three levels, Slifer Red, Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue. The Slifer Reds are the lowest, the duelists who are only here by luck. We're the bottom of the ladder." Jaden began but Alexis cut across him.

"Which isn't true in your case. You're a Slifer Red and you're a brilliant duelist."

"But that's because Crowler hates me." Jaden said, turning back to Bella and Edward. "In the entrance duel exam, I beat our Vice Principal, Dr. Crowler. Ever since, he's been out to get me. But let's get back to the point. The Ra Yellows are the next rung on the ladder, they're better then Slifer Red but not as good as Obelisk Blue. They're smart for the most part, like Bastion here." Jaden said looking for Bastion in the group. Bastion stepped forward and just smiled. (Cli: Whistle for a hottie! Whoop Whoop!)

"Right, but who are the Obelisk Blues?" Edward questioned.

"Well, you get into Obelisk Blue through good grades and good duelling or money. But for the most of them, they get in by skill. There are the best duelists like Zane, Atticus, Alexis and Chazz here."

Chazz and Atticus grinned and gave each other a high five but Alexis just shook her head and turned back to talk to Bella and Edward.

"Even if we are the best duelists, not every good duelist in the school is in Obelisk Blue." Alexis informed them looking pointedly at Jaden.

"Hey, you should know that it takes more then good duelling to get into Obelisk Blue. It takes good grades as well. And that's something I definitely don't have."

"Yeah, you Slifer slacker!" Chazz shouted from the back of the group. Everyone laughed good naturedly.

"Why don't you come up here and duel me and I'll show you who's a slacker!" Jaden said over his shoulder with a smile on his face.

"Now, now boys. Calm down. There'll be time for duels later but right now, we have to take the new students to see Chancellor Sheppard," Jasmine said.

"Oh yeah," Jaden remembered. "In that case, follow me!" Jaden said, turning him and Alexis to head back up the hill. The entire group began to follow when suddenly Jaden remembered something. He shouted over his shoulder.

"By the way, welcome to Duel Academy."
