Running Out of Time
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Gi Oh GX or Marchen Awakens Romance. If I did then Judai wouldn't of had lost that cheerful personality, and Ginta and Alviss would be together.
Summary: Prequel to The Song of Hope. Jun has a vision of two angels, and a devil and it isn't normal because he feels like he's one of the two angels. He doesn't think about that at the time because he is focusing on the face of bringing Judai back to the Judai he knows (and loves.) With the help of the new transfer student claiming to be from another world, it might be possible to bring him back, but with the visions haunting Jun, and the new threat arising at Duel Academy that are looking for the Guardian of Time and Space, will they be able to bring Judai to the happy go lucky guy before time runs out?
Rated: M (for Mature)
Pairing: JudaixJun (you will see why later on)
Warnings: Yaoi, bad language, dark themes, nudity, maybe some lemon, violence, death, and some OOC that I don't plan. (The list can go on and on.)
Genre: Romance, Drama, Humor
Me: -has a dumb look on her face- This is my first Yu Gi Oh GX fiction, so go easy on it (not like I expect it, but then again, there are those wonderful people who can write really good JunxJudai stories.) This takes place before The Song of Hope and near the end of Falling for the First Time (when Alviss is captured by the Ghost Chess.) Enjoy, nya!
Chapter 1: The Vision
There was a white moon in the night sky in the world of Eden 500 years ago. It floated peacefully despite the murder that was going to happen tonight that was going to be caused by an angel on the balcony of an angel's room. The victim would be a devil that was disrupting the peace among them.
The angel looked more like a devil compared to the devil who looked more like an angel than a devil. Despite the angel wearing all white, he had black hair that made him stand out. He had onyx colored eyes. The devil on the other hand wore all black and had dark blue hair. His eyes were as shiny as a jewel.
The angel glared at the devil who just smirked.
"I should have known that it was going to come to this," the devil said in a taunting tone.
The angel continued to glare at the devil as he laughed bitterly.
"Your love with Jusa will end tonight," the angel told the devil in a low tone.
The devil looked at the angel like he was crazy, "What are you going to do? Kill me and then lose your chance to be the heir of Kaze," the devil's smile became sinister, "Why would you want to lose this chance of becoming the heir?" (1)
The angel didn't answer.
"You wanted to become the heir of Kaze so badly, and if I take your friend with me, then you would be sure to become the heir of Kaze. Do you not want to rule the west side of Eden?"
The angel still didn't respond. He was rethinking the consequences of killing the devil that was slowly killing his best friend. The choice he made would affect him forever. Tears began to roll down his face when he made the decision.
The devil stiffened when he saw the angel coming close to him with an intent to kill. He could have moved, but he didn't because he already accepted the fact that he was going to die tonight.
The angel wrapped his hands around the devil in an attempt to strangle him. Despite his hands being cold as ice, the teardrops were warm when it fell on the devils face. In the devil's eyes, the tears were like a prison that robbed him of his freedom of his body and soul like a curse was planted on him that he would never be freed from. The devil was slowly losing oxygen as the angel continued to strangle him. As that was happening, the devil was slowly moving his body to the edge of the balcony. Finally, the angel let go of the devil's neck only for him to fall off the balcony and into the nothingness. Unknown to them both, the angel Jusa that they spoke of saw the whole thing as he was flying back to the castle in the sky. He watched as the devil fell through the clouds. He flew after him.
The other angel however was still crying, but the only question is from what? Either way, the angel's aura became very dark from the sin of killing a devil. His face became dark as his eyes showed nothing but hate in them. The innocent smile that most angels had faded from his face and replaced with a sinister grin. The angel became mad as his angel wings became tainted with the color black…
"Ankii, wake up!"
The voice which was the Duel Spirit Ojama Yellow woke up the duelist Manjoume Jun up from his slumber. He was sweating badly as his body was shaking uncontrollably despite it being rather hot and sunny out today.
"Are you okay Ankii?" Jun's duel spirit asked as it floated in front of him.
Jun placed his hand on his head and told the Duel Spirit, "I'm not okay with you floating in my face like that."
Ojama spirit started complaining again which resulted in Jun swatting it away. The raven haired duelist thought about the dream he had which is something that he wouldn't be doing if the dream wasn't so suspicious in his case.
What was that about? Jun asked himself, That dream wasn't normal for some strange reason…it was like I was feeling the pain that the angel that killed the devil. No. That was too real to be a dream. It was more like a vision…
He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a knock on his door. He sighed as he slowly got up and changed into his favorite black jacket that he always wore. He opened his door to see his former crush Asuka on the other side.
"Good morning Asuka," he greeted.
"Good morning," she said in a serious tone.
"What is it this time?" he asked her, "Is it about the Duel Disks not working again?"
"Yes, and the fact that there will be a new transfer student today," she told him.
Jun sighed. What was up with these transfer students these days?
"I'm just telling you because he would be staying in the room next to you," she told the raven haired teen.
Jun nodded his head. There was nothing left to say, so Asuka left shortly after. The former Jun would have flirted with her or asked her to stay a little longer, but that Jun was gone. Ever since Judai left the academy and came up as a missing student along with Misawa and Hell Kaiser. With him missing, all was too quiet and lonely at the red dorm. While Sho told him over and over again that Judai would come back he seriously doubted it and because of that, he decided to advance to the blue dorm along with Rei who only stayed in the red dorm because of the brunette. He could have waited a little longer because Judai did return, but it wasn't the Judai he knew. His psychical features barely changed except for his hair and red jacket collar being a bit longer. His eyes however showed that he changed. One of his eyes were orange and the other was blue. Not the chocolate colored eyes that were full of life. This Judai was so serious that it was almost scary. His child like personality was gone and changed to the personality of an adult. Jun felt like he didn't know who he was anymore when he encountered him. The brunette wouldn't even stay in his dorm for long before heading somewhere and not coming back for a while.
Judai, what happened to you? he asked himself.
The worst part was, Judai would address him the way the old Jun would want him to. That was what hurt the most.
He closed the door as he laid back down on his bed. He sighed. Even with Judai back, a part of him was gone. The part where he yearned to have Asuka to himself. When Judai vanished, he had the chance to claim her for his own, but he lost the will to do that because there wasn't that innocent brunette around.
He quickly got up from his bed to look outside his window. When he did, his eyes widened. Standing out there was Judai. He seemed to be searching for something and didn't seem to be noticed by anyone nor did he notice them. Jun wanted to open the window and say 'hi' to him, but then the Obelisk's would see a new side to him and he didn't want his reputation that he built up to be ruined again, so all he did was stare at the brunette and hope that the brunette saw him gazing at him. He did not notice as he walked in the opposite direction of the academy. Jun frowned.
"You're back is getting smaller Judai…" Jun said to himself.
The Ojama Trio then appeared and told him that he had to get to class in order to meet the transfer student and his soon to be next door neighbor.
"I hope this transfer student is not like that other guy who transferred," Jun mumbled to himself. Just thinking about that transfer student gave him the chills, "I should stop thinking about him…"
Me: Chapter 1 is done with 1657 words…
Yohko: Why can't you write short chapters like this?
Me: Because I am well known for writing long and entertaining chapters.
Kitsune: I wouldn't call them entertaining.
Me: -glare-
Kitsune: S-Sorry, na no da!
Me: One note!
1. Kaze means wind.
Yohko: So when does this take place?
Me: It takes place before The Song of Hope (Prince of Tennis story) and the reason for this will be explained later, but since Jun and Judai already know about the Guardian situation and what Eiji was thinking in chapter 4 when Eiji had that attack.
Yohko: That doesn't explain why Judai is so kind in The Song of Hope story.
Me: -red vein- That's a spoiler! Read chapter 4 of The Song of Hope! This also takes place during chapter 33 in Falling for the First Time (Marchen Awakens Romance). More will be explained in that chapter (when I get to it since I'm working on chapter 30.)
Kitsune: Is another story taking place?
Me: Actually…there is another story that is happening beside the two that I mentioned.
Yohko: It's the Dirty Little Secret one, right?
Me: Yeah. I think around chapter 18 in Dirty Little Secret (planned but not even that close).
Kitsune: So confusing na no da!
Me:…I don't want to do the preview…but here it is…
"Here is the new student."
The transfer student bows.
"I'm Honoo Alviss. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. -innocent smile-"
Almost all the girls in the class have hearts in their eyes.
"I think Fubuki has a new rival…"
"I'm from another world seriously, Jun!"
"It's Manjoume Sanda, and you're just being crazy now!"
"But…I'm telling the truth. Doesn't this mark prove it?"
Alviss roles up his sleeve revealing…NOTHING!
"There's nothing there…"
"What?! It was there in MAR Heaven…"
"So that's the Judai you speak of…"
"Judai!"
Judai ignores them and walks off.
"…Not at all I was expecting…"
"Judai…"
"Do you like Judai Jun?"
"It's Manjoume Sanda, and I despise him!"
"But that look today didn't seem like you hate him."
"…"
"How about this. If I can get him to talk to you or anyone again, will you believe me?"
"Believe you about what?"
"That I'm from another world."
"I couldn't care less."
"And let me call you by your first name, okay?"
"So…these demons are coming here too?"
A demon appears.
"Since I don't have Suzaku, my ÄRM or anything from MAR Heaven, I'll have to rely on that trick that I was taught in the Training Gate by Yukito."
Me: YES MARCHEN AWAKENS ROMANCE FAN GIRLS! IT'S ALVISS THAT'S COMING BACK!
Satoshi: -evil glare- Why him and not someone as handsome as me?
Me: Oo I told you that this takes place during chapter 33 of Falling for the First Time and that is when Alviss is captures by Phantom and the Ghost Chess.
Satoshi: What are you trying to say.
Me: You're going to have to read Falling for the First Time to find out.
Satoshi:…
Me: I would appreciate if you reviewed this and tell me what you think. Editing goes to Raven-chan because I didn't feel like bugging my beta reader to edit this . Ja ne!
