Hey, Viper here! This is my first fanfic, so please don't be too harsh. There is something that needs to be explained before I continue, otherwise you're bound to be confused. I put North Duel Academy in America, so I maintain all the English honorifics, except when Chronos is mentioned. Otherwise, all POVs use English honorifics. However, I have decided to use the Japanese names. Here's the hard part. Terms change depending on the POV. For example, when Judai is speaking, he would say Duel Academia, but the OC would say Duel Academy since she's American. The same goes for Slifer and Osiris. That's a really crappy explanation, and if anyone needs that clarified, PM and I'll be happy to try to explain better. I also don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX and don't pretend to, though it would be pretty cool...
Asuka's POV, second person
Asuka sat awake in her room, staring at the picture she kept on her desk. It was one of her and Judai while they were still in Duel Academia, way back in their first year. Back before Judai changed, back when he was still carefree.
It had been ten years since the last time Asuka had even seen him at graduation. Everyone wondered where he had suddenly disappeared to, and everyone turned to her, but she didn't have an answer to give. It was like he never existed. The only thing that marked his existence were the warm memories that everyone had of him. That, and the fact that the world was still in one piece.
After a while, everyone else began to move on. They no longer really wondered about where Judai was, they just assumed he was out there somewhere in the world, dueling and saving the world happily without them.
Asuka was the only one that still cared about what happened to Judai all those years ago. He just up and left, without a single trace. She couldn't help but worry about what happened to him. She wondered where he was and what he was doing.
A light knock at her door shook her out of her thoughts. "Miss Tenjouin?" came a timid voice through the oak panels. It was one of her students, Marie Windsford. Asuka rose to her feet and padded over to the door.
Opening it slightly, she asked, "Yes, Marie? Do you need help with studying for your next semester exam? It's next week, but if you really need some help with it, I'll be happy to..."
"Is it true that a new student will be coming here?" Marie blurted out, her lavender eyes darting around to the dark hallway behind her. Asuka frowned slightly.
"I haven't heard of any new student. Why?"
"There's a lot of rumors floating around about him..." Marie started, nervous. "I heard that he used to go to your old school, Miss Tenjouin, and that he's a really good duelist."
"Well, as interesting as that is, why did you feel the need to come here to talk about it?" Asuka wondered, now bored with the gossip of this teen-aged girl.
"I also heard that he has some sort of weird power..." Asuka couldn't bear it anymore. She was tired, and she was concerned about Judai, which didn't mean good news for this student.
"Enough, Marie! Who told you this? It was probably just a joke, now go back to your room and try to get some sleep. The next week's going to be hard on you, especially if you slack off like you did last year. And please tell the seniors that I will not tolerate them telling any more stories!" Asuka shooed the bewildered student away and slammed the door shut.
She sighed. She hadn't meant to snap on Marie like that. Oh, well. Marie needed to learn not to believe in everything she hears from her upperclassmen. In Asuka's five years of teaching at the North Duel Academy, she noticed that the older students liked to tell stories to their underclassmen, to scare them or tease them. This was just another case of that...right?
A bit boring, but it'll definitely get better.
