Chapter 1- When it all began…

A young boy was running home after another exciting day at school. 8 year old Jaden Yuki, in his favorite black t shirt with Slifer on it and jeans was going home to show his parents his latest report card, which was perfect.

However no one else knew this, Jaden had special circumstances. He liked being known as a 'slacker' since it humored him in a kind of sick way, so Jaden was given duplicates of the tests and grades. He would be given a bad grade publically so that all the other students saw it and laughed, but after class the teacher would give him his true grade, which was always a 100.

His favorite duel monster appeared next to him and its none other than Yubel. She had dragon like wings, three eyes one teal, one gold and the other orange. She also had purple and gray hair and she smiled warmly at Jaden, but frowned at everyone else.

"Hey Yubel, how's it going." She smiled warmly at him.

"Nothing much, I see your really happy."

"YAH!" He smiled back at her. Any other person would have started running at the sight of her, but not Jaden, she was beautiful in his eyes, but not in the other way. "I got my report card, so that means…."

Yubel finished his sentence "FRIED SHRIMP!" They both smiled and he stopped running and slowed down his pace so he could talk with Yubel.

"Have you heard Yubel, there is a new duel academy that Kaiba made and I want to go, but I need to be older." Everyone knew Jaden to be the dumbest kid at school, but he was the best at Duel monsters. No one could beat him, and I mean no one. Pros came to make fun of the little pip squeak, but he beat them with ease making them cry for their mommies.

"Well your 8 right now and they only take people of the age of 15 am I correct?"

"Yah" Jaden said and he pouted.

"Well your half way there" And Jaden smiled at her.

"Always thinking of the positive aren't you." She shrugged.

"Well someone's got to; now common fried shrimp awaits us."

He turned the corner and heard someone yelling.

"Atticus I don't want to!" Some little blonde girl was being pulled by someone who name apparently was Atticus. He had long brown hair and a wicked smile on his face.

"Now Lex, were going to the arcade so that we can all here your lovely voice." He was with one of his friends who had dark hair and was scowling. "Beside you lost the duel so it's only fair."

"Atticus, leave your sister alone, maybe we can make her do something, that doesn't involve us walking."

"Shut it Zane, no one asked you."

Jaden was a little worried for the girl, but hearing they were siblings, he guessed it was okay, never having a sibling himself. Jaden was then hit in the chest by none other than the local school bully, Pablo…. Well I can't pronounce his last name but it's a really long Spanish one.

"Hey Jay- Jay." He said mockingly. Among the girls at his school, he was called that, but he doesn't know why. Something about his butt, but whatever.

"What do you want Pablo?" Jaden was a little intimated by him, since he was a foot taller and about 100 pounds heavier.

"What do I want, what do I want, what I want is your report card. Word on the street you got one with all 100s and I want it."

"Sorry you can't have it." Jaden then started walking again but his collar was caught by Pablo.

"I didn't think you would give it freely" and he threw a punch at Jaden.

All Jaden could see was blood and a scream rang out throughout the city. Everyone turned on the scene.
