A solitary island floats in the Southern seas…
It is there that there is a school for training up-and-coming duelists.
A place called Duel Academy.
In this prestigious school, one student stands out from the rest.
Jaden Yuki. Princess of Slifer Red. The Punisher of the Shadow Riders.
A young girl with a dark secret that could throw the school for another crazed year.
Chapter One: Memories of the Black Paper Moon
After what seemed to be one hell year at Duel Academy, things seemed to be pretty normal for one Syrus Trusdale. Syrus was a 16-year old boy with wild light blue hair and shining grey eyes. He was a second year Slifer Red, the lowest dorm level at Duel Academy, and played with a Vehicroid deck. Currently, he was unpacking his things in the room he shared with his roommate, Chazz Princeton. His thoughts trailed to a certain female friend of his.
I really wish that Jay was bunking with us again. He thought.
Jay, commonly known more as Jaden Yuki, was a second year Slifer Red and the only female in the dorm. Jaden had chocolate brown hair with a lighter shade, a color akin to caramel, on the top that was shaped like a mushroom. She had happy chocolate brown eyes that matched her hair. Her main two decks were made up of Elemental Heroes and a third mystery deck that she rarely was ever heard playing with unless mad. For half of their first year, Jaden disguised herself as a boy because she was being stalked by someone, or so Chancellor Sheppard had told him and his past roommate Chumley.
She was also one of the strongest duelists on the island.
The past year Jaden and her other friends had confronted a troupe of evil duelists called the Shadow Riders. Their main objective was to gain control of the Sacred Beast Cards and rule the world, but Jaden put a stop to that by defeating five of the seven villains, and getting their friend Alexis' brother Atticus back.
It was decided that Jaden would have the deceased teacher Banner's room while Syrus would bunk with Chazz. Their new Dorm Advisor was a plump woman named Dorothy, who looked after all the students as if they were her grandchildren.
Just as soon as she arrived back at the island for her second year, she was challenged to a duel by a boy who called himself A.P, but was later revealed by Dorothy to be the pro-duelist Aster Phoenix. They dueled, she won, and found out that he wasn't even using his real deck, but a bunch of cards he put together at the last minute. When Jaden found out about this, she was pumped to face him again with his real deck.
Syrus sighed as he walked out of his room, locking it behind him. He was heading to the Slifer cafeteria to talk with his old friends before they had to head to the assembly that was welcoming the new transfer students. That was when he saw her. Jaden Yuki.
"JAY! HEY JADEN! OVER HERE!" he shouted as he ran towards her. The teen girl didn't seem to notice her friend's presence, which greatly concerned him. However, he froze when he reached her.
His friend seemed to be walking toward the main building of the school as if she was in some sort of daze, humming some weird song he had never heard before.
His eyes widened. He knew that Jaden could see Duel Spirits and was almost possessed by one last year. Syrus rushed over to the Slifer lounge desperate for help.
All was quiet in the Slifer cafeteria, not a word coming from the four people inhabiting it.
The first person was Alexis Rhodes, a pretty Obelisk Blue girl who was good friends with Jaden and Syrus. She had long blonde hair and golden-hazel eyes. She was a second year with her friends and was one of the chosen duelists who had defeated the Shadow Riders. She had taken out one of the seven, Titan. She was also the younger sister of Atticus, who was a former Shadow Rider turned good once Jaden had defeated him.
Next was Chazz Princeton, a boy with black hair, black eyes, and a former Obelisk. He was now a Slifer and wore all black clothing with a dark purple shirt. His deck was made up of Armed Dragons, WXYZ Fusions, and Ojamas. He was Jaden's greatest rival and sort-of friend. He defeated one of the Shadow Riders, the leader of the Dark Scorpions. He also had a crush on Alexis.
Third was Bastion Misawa, the only Ra Yellow of the group. He had blue eyes and black hair that reminded anyone who saw it of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. He played with various decks, from a water deck to a magnet deck. He was the first real rival that Jaden had made in the past year.
Last was Atticus Rhodes, the older brother of Alexis. He was an Obelisk blue with a white coat that had blue trimmings. He had gone missing a few years before and was brainwashed into becoming the Shadow Rider known as Nightshroud, but was brought back to his senses by Jaden after she defeated him in a duel above a volcano. He mainly played with a Dragon deck, the cards in which supported the Red Eyes Black Dragon card, and a Warrior Deck.
The silence that had been maintained for the last half-hour waiting for the other two Slifer Red was broken by a certain blunette bursting in, eyes wide.
"JADEN HAS BEEN POSSESSED BY AN EVIL SPIRIT WE HAVE TO HELP HER!"
Currently, Jaden was listening to her Ipod and reflecting on some past memories. She swore she heard something, but when she turned around she saw nothing. She shrugged and let her body carry itself to whatever direction.
Hey sis, can you take control for a bit?
No problem. Want to enjoy the scenery?
That, and I know that you need the exercise.
Jaden-
I kid. I just…want to remember a bit, that's all.
…
Sis?
I'm here. How does the roof sound?
Okay!
Jaden was a very mysterious person. She wore a red Slifer vest with a black short sleeved shirt, white shorts, knee high black socks, standard Slifer red shoes and black fingerless gloves. Despite her many tattoos, she didn't really bother covering them. She had Bad Luck on her lower back, a small cartoon skull on her right shoulder, a pumpkin on the left, blue stars on her left hip, a fire and water spiral thing on her right thigh and a small black dragon near his right eye. The only marking one her body that was not a tattoo was a heart with a winged circle around it on the left side of her chest.
My special birthmark. She thought smiling to herself. The smile became wider when the next song came on.
I'm falling down into my shadow
Allowing my breath to grow still
In this dark and deadly night
Memories started to come into view before her eyes as if it were a movie. She sighed in content at them all.
A boy with white hair and red eyes with sharp shark-like teeth in a kind smile.
A girl with mouse colored pigtails and green eyes.
A boy with spikey blue hair and a star tattoo.
A ninja girl with black hair.
A boy obsessed with symmetry.
A girl who looked androgynous with a black creature.
A pair of sisters with cowboy hats.
Don't be scared
Of the pumpkin carriage that witch drew, in disguise
Cause the fear is reflecting brightly in your eyes
A large man with a skull mask rocking her to sleep while an older version of herself wiped away her tears caused by a traumatic event came into view, as did a memory of a tall monster that looked like a humanoid dragon fiend. Around them were a man with a screw in his head and another with red hair.
See you in your dreams, yeah, baby
Whether it be a nightmare, or sweet dream
A man with long silver hair flashed for a brief moment, causing Jaden and her 'tenant' to growl in rage.
Fairy Blue
For you I'll smash the stars
Then put them the sky
Displayed alongside the
Black Paper Moon
If you believe in me darling
When you're lost "here"
I am..."forever" with your soul
Jaden unconsciously fingered the red butterfly on her neck. She had it thanks to that man. Him and his heartless snake of a mother.
Waiting up in the night quietly, just like the shining moon...
Next time she saw them they were dead.
Mysterious symbols are a-rising
From that card that I dropped
Into the sweet crimson jam
The next memory calmed her down. A man with a long red coat, messy black hair, and dark navy eyes came into view. A woman with a long burgundy coat that looked like the man also came into view.
Kouyou…Midori…
Your destiny - if you choose to call it that
Any sort of world you might dream
Can be yours if you try
She whimpered as a man wrapped in bandages came into view. He sliced the woman and tried to take a glowing blue orb from her remains, but Jaden wouldn't allow it
Why did he take you away?
Don't try and confuse me
No one can crush or break you down now
The tenant sensed the shift of negative emotion and fed some energy into her host's mind. The memory disappeared and was replaced by one of the red-coated man, now known as Kouyou, cuddling a smaller version of Jaden while singing a silly opera version of 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' to her.
Fairy Blue
You gave me a reason to live
In an "eternity" of captivity
If I ever hear you shout for me
I will find you, my dear, no matter the distance
And will free you from your ensnaring curse
To allow you to breathe
Flashes of light and weapons falling into the hands of young teen. Those said teens fighting against cloaked people and the man covered in bandages. Women with pointed hats or various animal-like clothing firing off attacks at the teens. People transforming parts of themselves into weapons.
There are times that I have lost faith in everything
There are times when I feel torn inside and out
Even so, your precious words will always
Save my soul and heal my broken heart
Jaden felt her body climbing up the stairs. Whenever her 'sis' took control of her body, it always felt heavier than normal, almost like she was possessed or sleepwalking. Her tenant grinned at the thought.
I bet if your little friend Syrus found out about me, he would panic and try to exorcise you with the help of your other friends.
Jaden laughed.
Fairy Blue
For you I'll smash the stars
T arrange them in a sign
To guide you for whenever you hesitate,
Or are losing sight of your dreams
Look up with all that you are
Jaden felt her body laying down on the rooftop, the sun's rays hitting her body. She was vaguely aware of the ball of fluff and feathers known as Winged Kuriboh settling alongside her.
Fairy Blue
You gave reason to live in this dark demented world
A "faith" called captivity, which I will always believe
For an eternity
I promise you that you'll never be alone
When you're lost here
I am forever with your soul
Enjoy your little walk sis?
Yeah, I really needed it. Try and rest up a bit.
Together we can make it through, if you believe in me
Why?
We got nothing else to do until the assembly.
I like the way you think.
"Are you sure that the slacker is possessed?" Chazz asked.
Currently, the GX gang was running in the general direction that Jaden had walked off. They knew that Syrus would overreact at times, but he looked very scared, more than usual, so they believed him.
"OF COURSE I AM! HECK, I YELLED IT WAS SHRIMP NIGHT AND SHE DIDN'T RESPOND!"
Everybody gasped and picked up their pace. Now it was serious.
"We must save our red princess from the snares of her curse with love's first kiss!"
"KEEP AWAY FROM JADEN AND STOP TRYING TO TAKE HER FIRST KISS ATTICUS OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!"
"But Lexi-"
"Wait, Jaden hasn't had her first kiss yet?"
"Don't even think about it Bastion. Same goes for you Chazz!
"Quiet, Rabbit! I don't like her that way at all!"
Chibi: Okay! There is the first chapter! As you can tell, if you didn't read the summary, it is set during the second year. I will write out a handful of duels because (1)It would take too much time to write out all the unimportant stuff, (2)This is a Jaden-centric/her love interest centric fic. The song is called Paper Moon by Tommyheavenly6 and the English translation was made by me. See you in chapter two!
