Why Do I Have To Hide?
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh GX, it belongs to its respectful owners that I'm too lazy to name.
Today I woke up pretty early for the exams I always wanted to go to Duelist Academy and I'm here to apply. Seto Kiba made the Duel Dome for all to-be-students. I got dressed quickly and ran down the stairs.
My name is Syrus Truesdale, a 14 year old girl, who cross dress. I am 5 feet tall with a shy personality that acts up when I am in a large group of people. I have teal hair, which ends to the first quarter of my back when it is not spiked up; silver eyes; pale skin; and reading glasses.
The reason why I cross dress as a guy is that I'm in a band called Ice Cold Heart. I am the singer/guitarist, Black the guitarist/singer, Kim the durmast/keyboardist, and Devon is our manager for our girl band. My parents and brother don't know about this, they think me dressing up as a boy is because I am a tomboy. All members in the band wear masks, wigs and put washable highlights in our hair. The reason why is because the media tries to find us, so we need disguises to play in the band. The media goes city-to-city trying to find us. They already searched this city about 2 months ago. They found 9 girls that look like us on stage, but when they were asked to play one of our songs they sucked. The media is so obsessed with trying to find us Death, Reaper, and Scythe that they are searching all of Japan! Thank goodness that only Devon knows our real identities.
We started Ice Cold Heart when we were 13. Black, Kim, and I are childhood friends. We call ourselves Death, Reaper, and Scythe because the only way to get us in dresses is by wearing gothic loti. We record our songs by going to a studio as our male counter parts and going at different times. So far we only made 5 albums and only 2 are the best sellers.
Black and Kim are going to Duelist Academy as guys too. We made a plan to use our weakest decks to get into the Slifer red dorm, because no one pays much attention to the reds. Black Maximillion, and Kim Jones male names are Black Stevens and Kyle Davis. If anyone tries to look them up, they will think Blake and Kyle are actual people because Pegasus is Black's adopted father. If that doesn't work Black can hack into their computer database. We all have something talented to do on the computer. Black can hack into government files without getting caught, Kim can replace sound on all footages, and I can edit all footages of people so smoothly that it will look like everything in the footage happened. Devon taught Kim and I the basics first at 11 and Black could already hack like that at that age so she learned what we did as well, Black can do that because she gets bored easily and she starts hacking to entertain herself.
I entered the Dome and began to take the written exam. I finished it about an hour later and reread it, putting a few more mistakes on purpose; we still have 30 more minutes left.
~TIME SKIP 2 HOURS LATER~
I just finished my duel, so I walked toward the back of the Dome. I saw Black and Kim so I thought;' I'll go introduce myself to the male versions of them in front of everybody who is looking.'
I said," Hi my name is Syrus Truesdale. What dorms are you guys in? I am in the Slifer red dorm."
"I am Blake Stevens and I'm in Slifer red," replied Blake with a small smile.
Kyle said," Kyle Davis*shacks my hand*in the Slifer dorm. Hey, do you guys think we are going to share a room? "
I answered," Maybe, I'm not sure. If we don't, we can still see each other in the dorm. I better go find a seat, my legs are killing me. Bye Blake, bye Kyle, I'll see you guys at the dorm."
I walk toward the close doors in the back. Standing up but leaning against the rail I watch a random person dueling. About 10 minutes into the duel some guy with brown hair showed up. I gave him a shy smile and started talking to him.
"Hello,*gives a smile*I'm Syrus Truesdale, what's yours," I asked.
"I'm Jaden Yuuki, the next King of Games! I came in a little late and I just finished the written exam. Hey, did they call my name," Jaden asked?
"Jaden you are really lucky, they are only on the W's,*looking around the Dome, seeing Dr. Crowler glaring at Jaden*you might have just made a teacher mad for being late," I said chuckling nervously at the last part.
"Really? Who? Is it that guy over there*points to Crowler*," Jaden said.
"Jaden," I scolded him," You can't just point at people, it is rude. Yes that is the guy who is glaring at you."
*starts talking about the things that happened in the anime and dueling Crowler*
~TIME SKIP IN THE HELICOPTER~
Getting in the helicopter that will bring everyone to Duelist Academy was a bit boring. Everyone who hasn't flown before was looking out the window, and then 10 minutes later they went to sleep. The rest started conversations with each other or making strategies. Jaden was one of the ones that went to sleep. I started a conversation with Black and Kim.
"So what did you guys get from home? I brought my deck, some extra cards,(my real deck) a laptop, charger, recording gear, 6 pairs of change of clothes,(with girl necessities and some gothic loti dresses)a alarm, gel, and CD player with some CDs'," I said.
"Same," Blake and Kyle said at the same time.
"I forgot," Kyle asked a questioned," What theme is your deck? Mine is a dog theme."
"A vehicle deck," I answered.
"Vikings, 'cause they are awesome," replied Blake.
I smiled and putted my (1) right hand on the back of my neck and clicked my tongue two times. Black and Kim looked like they didn't they didn't heat/see it but they did hear/see it. They looked at the corner of their eyes.
"Oh yeah," I said looking embarrassed, "I forgot to tell you guys something, I'm in room 4 with Jaden*points to a sleeping Jaden*what room are you two in?"
"To tell you the truth Syrus," began Blake and Kyle continued, "We are roommates in the only 2 bunk beds instead of 3 in the dorm," Blake ended the statement, "In room 10."
We were all staring at each other, with knowing looks, that I will meet up in their room, to dress in my Ice Cold Heart outfit, we think better on songs with them on. We will talk about Ice Cold Heart in the library to talk about how cool they, we, are, in case of someone listening in our conversation. They would think that I hang out with them because I like the band.
I decided to end the conversation for now, as I yawned and lowered my eyes closer to close them.
I mumbled,"*yawn*I'll nap a bit, so can you please wake me up, if I don't wake up by myself when the helicopter lands."
"Yeah we will wake you up Syrus," Kyle said.
I saw Black and Kim smile a bit while I open my eyes the last time before sleep claimed me.
Jaden's POV
I was running late to get to the Duel Dome because of traffic. Bad luck I tell you, traffic was long and I couldn't just walk through the gaps the cars provide because the police were there. I took a short cut through a park and bumped into a guy. My cards scattered around me and the guy helped me.
He said, "Here Jaden Yuuki,*gives me a Wing Kariboh card*this card have a spirit in it."
Then he left. I didn't have the time to dwell on it because the admission for the written exam will end soon. I fan as fast as I can and I made it by scaling a wall.
I finished my paper and I proof read it so I won't miss a lot of questions. I got to the dueling arena in the Dome and I met Syrus. I didn't know if Syrus was a dude, I only saw his backside, until he spoke to me; Syrus does have a girl figure.
"Hello, I'm Syrus Truesdale, what's yours," Syrus asked.
"I'm Jaden Yuuki, the next King of Games! I came in a little late and I just finished my written exam. Hey, did they call my name," I asked.
"Jaden you are really lucky, they are only on the W's,*looking around the Dome, seeing Dr. Crowler glaring at Jaden*you might have just made a teacher mad for being late," He said chuckling nervously at the last part.
"Really? Who? Is it that guy over there*points to Crowler*," I said.
"Jaden," Syrus scolded/pouted, "You can't just point at people like that, it is rude. Yes that is the guy who is glaring at you."
While we were talking I was thinking why cute/adorable people can't scold others, only pout. Wait, wait, and wait. Did I just call Syrus cute? I know I am gay, but I am not homosexual. Sure there is no girls that interest me right now, because the girls I know don't duel. I would like to know that my girlfriend to be able to duel. When I heard someone call my name I went down to the dueling arena, seeing the teacher that glared at me I knew I was in trouble. Dr. Crowler was saying that a good duelist does not show up late and I should leave. We began the duel and one kick butt later, Crowler only allowed me to Slifer red, the lowest of the low he says. I'm okay with it, at least I got into Duel Academy unlike some people.
We would go to the helicopter after us freshman get our dorm numbers. When I got there some teachers were standing next to 3 ballets, they might be the dorm teachers. I see a long hair guy, with a cat in his hands under a red uniform over the ballet. I guess that was the dorm ballet, so I putted my hand in the hole and got a slip of paper. Syrus did the same after me.
"Okay," I said, "On the count of three, 1…2….3!"
We opened the paper at the same time and we got, drum roll please*drum roll*… 4! Yep, Syrus and I are roommates, along with some other guy.
"Okay everyone," said our dorm teacher, Professor Banner," We are going to go to the helicopter that is sorted by dorm. Please stay in line as we are entering and exiting the helicopter." Syrus and I got in the helicopter somewhere in the middle of the group. We were behind 2 guys, one with black hair, with blue highlights on the tips on the right side of his bangs and the other red hair with black highlights on the tips on the left side of his bangs. I didn't get a good look at blue and black's faces as we sat behind them in the helicopter.
As the helicopter was rising, I looked out the window for a bit. I sat back in my seat to sleep. I'm still asleep, but I heard someone say my name and I toned out the rest of the conversation.
Syrus said,"I'm in room 4 with Jaden…"
I wonder who is talking to MY Syrus. Did he talk to him/her first or did he/she talk to him? Are they talking bad about me or nor? No, Syrus is too nice and how he said my name he's introducing me. I feel a bit warm in my stomach, maybe it is just something I ate and it reacted badly in the air.
Syrus POV
I didn't need to be woken up by Black or Kim, I woke up be myself. I didn't get much sleep because I was choosing which deck to use in Duel Academy.
~Flashback~
I was thinking if I would use my vehicle theme deck, a overuse of spell cards, or a overuse trap card. I picked the vehicle because it is the only deck my big brother, Zane, saw when we were little and now. I didn't want to surprise him, make him think you are weak instead of strong.
~Flashback End~
I slept about an hour and I looked out the window. I got bored rather quickly so I got my CD player and CD's. I put in a random CD, put on my ice blue headphones, and pushed play. I made sure that the disc was not a Ice Cold Heart CD, because I would sing along with myself and Black. I don't want people to know I am Scythe or why a "guy" can sing high pitch.
About 10 minutes later the plane stared to descend. I could see a figure out in sea, Duel Academy. Soon enough the pilot spoke to us on the intercom.
The pilot announce," We are approaching Duel Academy. I repeat, we are approaching Duel Academy."
I put my CD player away so I could wake up Jaden.
"Jaden, Jaden! Wake up! I can see Duel Academy," I yelled/shake my friend!
I sighed since I couldn't wake up Jaden and I smiled at my childhood friends. I did another attempt to wake Jade up again, but this time I shake/yell at him nonstop. It took me 20 minutes to make Jaden say something.
Here is what Jaden mumbled," Wing Kariboh, don't take Flame Wingman's food. You have your own on the table."
From what Jaden said I just shake him harder, but after 10 minutes my strength dismissed. I feel like I'm going to cry because I have to wake up my friend before we land.
In a shaky voice I whispered in Jaden's ear," Come on Jaden. Please wake up; we are almost to Duel Academy."
Jaden POV
I have a dream that all my duel monsters were real and are in my castle. Everything was going good until the castle started to shake.
"King Jaden, we are under attack by are rival Obilisk. They think that they could surprise us since it is dinner time," reported Wing Flameman," I couldn't do my rounds around the castle because Wing Kariboh was taking my food."
I said when he saw Kariboh appear,"Wing Kariboh, don't take Flame Wingman's food. You have your own on the table."
I said to Flame Wingman,"Go gather up all the troops this second. We have a battle to win."
During the battle I faced the masked Obilisk king in a battle with swords. All of the sudden I see a cage appear in the middle of our battle, inside the cage is Syrus.
Obilisk king said," Who wins this fight will have the duke, Syrus of the Slifer kingdom that went missing 2 months ago."
That evil king, using my friend as a hostage, I fought harder to win my friend back. It felt like an eternity until I finally struck down the evil king. I grabbed the keys to open the cage my friend is in. Syrus started crying and saying how scared he was, in the Obilisk's dungeon being tortured.
I hug him and whispered in his ear," It is okay Syrus, you're out of the dungeon and you are with me."
Syrus look at me with his big doe-like tear fill eyes saying," Thank you Jaden.*gives me a smile but then his eyes get clouded* Come on Jaden. Please wake up; we are almost to Duel Academy."
I woke up to see Syrus, a few inches away from my face, snapping his fingers with a worry expression. He suddenly smiled as he saw that I am awake.
"Jaden, thank goodness you are awake. We are about to land at Duel Academy, see*brings me to the window*."
"Wow," I said.
"I know, I've been trying to wake you up for the past 30 minutes," Syrus said.
I was going to reply, but we had to get out of the helicopter. We walk to the auditorium for the principal to talk to us through a giant flat screen TV. I ignored what he was saying because it will be the same for all schools, don't go into other peoples dorms in the night, don't stay out late etc. The only I was thinking is, how close Syrus was. He was like 3 inches away from my mouth; I had to suppress a huge blush. I don't even think he was thinking, he was concerned about me. He usually blushes when I get into his face before and I smile at that. He looks like a bunny when he blushes and when he is not blushing. Maybe that dream was telling me that someone from Obilisk will steal Syrus from me. 'I swear I will have Syrus be by my side at all/most of the time, 'I thought.
The assemble soon ended and Professor Banner led us to our dorm. We got upstairs after given the key and open the door. The right side has the 3 bunk beds and a door to the bathroom. On the left side there is a low table, a chair, desk, and a table with 6 drawers.
"I call dibs on the bed on the ground," I yelled and jumped on it.
Syrus POV
In the assembly I listen carefully to the principal and then I felt 3 stares on my back. 2 of the stares belong to Black and Kim, the other I'm not sure about. I couldn't just turn around when the principal is talking, that is disrespectful. I felt the staring stop a bit later, and I did a mental sigh of relief.
The assembly was soon over and we follow Professor Banner to the dorms. He handed out the keys to our rooms that we will be staying in. I watch as Black and Kim went to the right side upstairs, while Jaden and I went to the left. I open the door to our room, turning on the lights, and went through the door on the right, it is the bathroom. I got out heading toward the bunk bed ready to claim the bottom bed.
"I call dibs on the bed on the ground," Jaden yelled and jumped on it.
I acted up that I was cool with it but I was really mad. I don't know if my roommates are light sleepers, my other one and I could have snuck out to go to room 10 to see my friends.
I said to Jaden, "Come on we have to unpack then go to the cafeteria."
I put my clothes and other things in the middle of the 3 columns of dowers, my girl clothes/things are in the bottom drawer under my casual clothes. I take a set of pajamas and laid them on my bed. I waited for Jaden to put his things away so I can walk with him to the cafeteria. He finished putting his things away we walk down the stairs to eat dinner. For some reason Jaden is walking closer to me, maybe I am just imagining it, but it is better to be safe than sorry (A/N I do NOT own this saying/quote!). I edged a bit away from Jaden, while holding a conversation. Jaden just walked closer to me, I know he is my friend and all but this is to close for comfort. I've had guys come close to my friends and I before like this. They stopped coming on to us when we beat them up, we all know how to defend ourselves, for self defense. I don't think Jaden likes guy Syrus that way. Probably doesn't know what he is doing. Thank goodness we made it to the cafeteria and Professor Banner began his speech. Tuning that out I stare at Black and Kim, I know they know it is me and they turn around, pretending to look at the Professor, to look at me. I pretended to scratch my (2) neck with my right hand, click my tongue 2 times, and twitch my right eye2 times as well.
Jaden interrupted Banner's speech by saying he wants seconds and Banner told us to dig in while he talk to Jaden. After Professor Banner finished his talk with Jaden he left with most of the students. The only people left were us, Black, Kim, and some random people we do not know.
"Here Jaden,*gives Jaden half of my food* I didn't eat anything yet, I waited for Professor Banner to leave so I can give you some. I'm not that hungry."
Jaden said with a smile,"Thanks Sy!*takes the offered food and eats it*"
I finished my food about 5 minutes after Jaden does, I tell him to go on without me to the room. He, being the stubborn guy he is, said no. I told him I'll be up in a second. Jaden left with a kicked puppy expression leaving Black, Kim, and I in the deserted cafeteria.
I said to them," I can't see you guys for a while. I got the middle bed, the second step on the ladder creaks, so I can't visit you guys in the night. I have a weird feeling that my friend loves me."
"We could talk to each other in the library and how do you know that your friend loves you," Kim said?
"He got really close to me while we were walking down the stairs and coming to the cafeteria," I replied.
"I feel bad for you, that Jaden guy might be already waiting for you in your room," Black said.
"I'll talk to you guys later, bye," I said.
Walking out of the cafeteria, up the stairs, and with my key in hand I open room 4. Everything is dark so I stayed by the wall, going to the right until I found the bathroom. I open the bathroom door a bit to turn on the lights inside. With a bit of light shining through the ground I got my alarm from one of my drawers, set the time for it to wake me up at 7:00. Putting on my pajamas I turn off the bathroom light and stumbled to the latter of the bunk bed. I climb up it and lay on my bed.
I whispered, "Good night."
Jaden POV
I put on my pajamas and lay in my bed waiting for Syrus to come. As I hear some footsteps, I closed my eyes. A few minutes later I hear shuffling near me. I think Syrus is changing his clothes right in front of me. I open my left eye a bit and see Syrus changing about a foot away from me, with his back facing me. I watch him change then closed my eyes seeing he is almost done. Syrus turned off the bathroom light and went to his bed right above me.
I hear him say, "Good night."
Realization hit me quickly in the face. I enjoyed watching my first friend here change. I blush deeply from that thought. 'I must like Syrus more now than in the beginning of the day,' I thought. I push that thought aside and started dreaming the same dream in the plane.
Author's Notes: I made Jaden and Syrus way to OOC to be normal, but it works so far in the plot line.
(1)-this means to meet me in the library
(2)-meet me in the library in 2 days
In Syrus's thoughts will say Black and Kim while talking to them when they aren't alone is Blake and Kyle. If you haven't read my Shaman King story Lyserg bandages her chest and puts on a rbber chest plate that is the same skin color, this also applies to Black, Kim, and Syrus. Black, Devon, and Kim are human in this story but they will look like the bio on my profile. From the talk about the band Ice Cold Heart, I will be using other singers' songs when the time comes. I plan on getting the media to Duel Academy but I'm not sure how. I put a poll on my file to find out which deck Syrus will use. I already have a Naruto ninja deck for Black and an Inuyasha demon deck for you may have notice I have skipped out on the dueling. The reason why is that I haven't watch Yugioh GX in a long time so I forgot most of the duel monsters.
I will accept all reviews and flames because I am still new at this.
