A/N: Okay, Thanks to the one vote of confidence so far lol. I will continue the story no matter what you guys think or tell me, no offense meant. But, please if you're gonna decide to bash my story and my OC refrain from commenting, I really could deal without that.
-Chapter 2: Settling In-
A few hours after the little outburst of Chazz Princeton the boat docked at Duel Academy Island. Austin was off the boat pretty quick, but not quick enough to dodge two of his fan girls, which were starting to grow in number. He was stopped and dragged away, to what you could call safety at least he only had to deal with two at the moment. "So, are you two gonna introduce yourselves, it won't be considered kidnapping if I know you...technically speaking" Austin said
"Well I'm Mindy" a rather attractive brunette said
"And I'm Jasmine" a cute redhead said
"And y'know you could thank us, if we didn't drag you away you would have been chased by a stampede by now" Mindy said with a giggle
Austin sighed "I guess you're right, thanks"
"Welcome Mr. Kaiba " Mindy said with a wink
"Usually I'd say call me Austin, but I kinda like the sound of it when you say it" Austin said causing Mindy to blush a deep red
"Oooohhhh, so that's how it is" Jasmine said with a sly look towards a blushing Mindy
Austin laughed "I was wondering if you don't mind me being so forward, would you like to go to the welcome dinner with me tonight" Austin asked with a smile
"YES!" Mindy said excitedly "I mean yes" Mindy said again a little embarrassed
Austin just laughed "I guess I'll see you then Mindy" Austin said while turning and walking towards the Obelisk dorms.
"Why do you get the cutie, It was my idea" Jasmine huffed and crossed her arms
Mindy giggled "I don't know, but thanks for convincing me to help you" Mindy said smiling at her best friend
Jasmine sighed "Anything for you bestie" she said with a smile back

Jaden and Syrus found their way to the Slifer dorms pretty quick when they got off the boat. They had already met their roommate Chumley Huffington, and their Dorm head Professor Banner. They three boys were hanging out in their room talking when Jaden's PDA began to ring.
"Hello?" Jaden said looking at the screen
"Hey Slacker" Chazz said appearing on the screen "I challenge you to a duel tonight in the Obelisk arena at midnight"
"I never back down from a challenge Chazz" Jaden said
"Good, and you better not chicken out either" Chazz said before cutting the call
"What an ass" Jaden said looking up from his PDA
"Do you think you can beat him Jay" Syrus asked
"Not sure, but we'll find out tonight" Jaden said
"Find out what" Austin asked walking in the dorm room
"How'd you know I was here Austin?" Jaden asked
"I asked Banner, so what are you gonna find out tonight?" Austin asked again
"If he can beat some guy named Chazz" Chumley said
"Ah, I guess he didn't mention you aren't supposed to be out past curfew" Austin said with a smirk "But, don't worry I'll go with you incase he's trying to play games"
"Thanks man" Jaden said
"What are friends for" Austin said with a smile "So are ya'll going to the welcome dinner for your dorm?"
"I guess, don't really want to though" Jaden said
"Ya'll could always come over to my dorm and chill with me and these two girls I met today" Austin suggested
"Sounds good to me" Syrus said
"Why don't we head over now" Jaden said
"Huh, a nice Obelisk...I can get used to this" Chumley said causing all the boys to laugh
"Alright, let's go, Mindy and Jasmine will probably be waiting for us" Austin said standing up and walking to the door.
"So Jaden, are you happy about gettin the chance to become an Obelisk?" Austin asked
"I guess, I got a feeling I'll blow it on the written part though" Jaden sighed a bit
"Well you could always ask Alexis if she'd tutor you, I'm sure she wouldn't mind it" Austin suggested
"Worth a shot I guess" Jaden shrugged. A few minutes later, they had finally arrived at the Obelisk boys dorm. Out in front stood three girls, Alexis, Mindy and Jasmine.
"Hey, Girls, Hey Mindy" Austin said singling Mindy out.
"H-Hey" Mindy said blushing
Jaden looked to Alexis "why's Austin looking at her that way" Jaden whispered to Alexis
"Me and Jazz think that he has a thing for Mindy" Alexis whispered back
"He asked her to come to the dinner with him when we met him, her face was redder than your blazer" Jasmine said looking at Jaden "Wait, If you're such a good duelist why are you in the Slifer dorm?" She asked not understanding why a good duelist is in the worst dorm.
"I was never good at written tests" Jaden replied with a sheepish grin "Oh, Austin said I should ask you if you'd mind tutoring me for my dorm switch exam" he said looking at Alexis
Alexis smiled "I don't mind, but you gotta duel me"
Jaden returned her smile "I guess you already know I accept your challenge?" Jaden asked
"Yeah" She replied with another giggle
"Oh, but I can't today, I have to duel Chazz tonight" Jaden sighed
"Is Austin going?" Alexis asked
"Yeah he said he wanted to incase Chazz was planning something" Jaden said
"Hey you two coming or what" Austin asked. while Alexis and Jaden were talking they didn't really notice everyone else walking into the dorm
"Oh yeah on our way" Jaden said running to hold the door for Alexis
"Thanks" Alexis said smiling
"Sure thing" Jaden replied
The seven of them ditched the dinner early and went to hangout in Austin's living room of his suite. "I guess being the son of the owner has it's perks" Jasmine said looking at Austin's large room
"Yeah I guess, I even have two open rooms, which if Jaden passes he can have one" Austin said with a smile
"Sweet another reason to pass" Jaden said with a smirk
"So, when do you want me to start tutoring you?" Alexis asked
"I thought I had to beat you?"Jaden said
"No, I said you had to duel me, I'll tutor you either way" Alexis said with a smile
Jaden laughed "I just hope I don't get the fan girls Austin has"
"They aren't all bad" Austin said smiling at Mindy. The two were sitting on the couch together with Austin's arm over her shoulder.
"Oh brother" Alexis sighed putting her head in her hand, Jaden just laughed at his friend
After a few minutes of silence Jasmine spoke up. "So Jaden how did you and Austin meet?" she asked
"Well I had won a card designing competition as a kid that his dad hosted" Jaden said
"And my dad held a Banquet to congratulate him, he also met Zane and Atticus, but we mainly started being friends because of his talents as a duelist" Austin finished
"Yeah, Atticus was pretty cool he acted a lot like Austin" Jaden added
"Wait, you know Atticus?" Alexis asked a little shocked
"Yeah, he kept calling himself the 'Master of Love', while trying to convince me to meet his little sister" Jaden laughed
"Well, I guess you finally met her" Austin said stifling a laugh
"What?" Jaden asked in confusion
"Atticus...is my older brother" Alexis said looking down
'I can see why he said I'd like her' Jaden thought "That's cool...wait are you okay?" Jaden asked
"Jaden would you mind coming outside with me for a sec?" Alexis asked still looking down at her hands
"Sure thing" Jaden said. the two stood up and walked out of the room and out onto the balcony.
"Alexis, are you okay? Is this about Atticus?" Jaden asked looking a little worried.
She nodded "Yeah...He went missing Jaden" Alexis said trying to hold back tears.
Jaden saw her eyes watering and pulled her into a hug to try and comfort her "I'm so sorry Alexis" he whispered
"T-thanks" she said nervously hugging him back
"Is there any way I can help?" he asked pulling back and wiping a tear from her eye.
"I'm not sure how I can even help" she said frowning and letting a few more tears roll
"Hey come on, Atticus wouldn't want you getting so upset" Jaden said trying to soothe her
"Why! He's my brother I should be looking for him not sitting here talking" Alexis shouted clearly upset
"Alexis, you know I'm right, the last thing he'd want is to see you so hurt" Jaden said rubbing her arm in another attempt to calm her
This time it seemed to work "I-I guess...I guess you're right...I need to bury my emotions and act bravely" Alexis said not understanding that wasn't what he meant.
Jaden shook his head "No, you shouldn't bury your emotions, it'll only come back and bite you" he said
"So what do I do" Alexis asked
"You show the confidence you're famous for, but just remember there's always hope, no matter how bad the situation" Jaden said with a smile
"Thanks Jaden" she said with a teary eyed smile before hugging him again.
"Anytime" Jaden said before pulling her back into the room

A few hours passed, Mindy had passed out on Austin's shoulder and Jasmine, surprisingly on Syrus'. Needless to say the bluenette was extremely nervous at first, but was beginning to get used to it. Chumley had headed back to the Slifer dorm saying he needed a nap. Alexis and Jaden where talking and laughing with Austin trying to make sure they didn't wake anyone.
"So, you ready for your duel" Austin asked looking to Jaden
Jaden nodded "Yeah"
"Okay, Sy go open that door" Austin said while gently picking up Mindy bridal style "Jaden grab Jazz carefully and put her on the bed"
After that was done, and Austin was sure they didn't wake them, Jaden, Alexis, Austin and Syrus left the dorm room and made their way to the Arena. When they were finally at the arena Chazz was already waiting with his cronies.
"About time you showed up" Chazz sneered
"We're 10 minutes early" Austin retorted
"Whatever, I wasn't talking to you Kaiba" Chazz said smugly
"YOU LITT-" Austin began to lunge for Chazz's throat
"Austin, chill he's just trying to get under your skin" Jaden said softly with his hand firmly on Austin's shoulder "How about we just duel" Jaden said were Chazz could hear him
Chazz rolled his eyes "Fine, if you're in such a rush to lose"
Jaden stepped onto the field activating his duel disk and shoving his deck in "Get your game on"
"Duel" Chazz said activating his own duel disk
CHAZZ LP: 4000
JADEN LP: 4000
"I'll start" Chazz said drawing his card "I summon chthonian soldier in attack mode (Atk: 1200) then I'll set two cards and end, your move slacker"
"With pleasure" Jaden said drawing "I summon E-Hero Sparkman (Atk: 1600) now destroy his soldier Sparkman"
"Now that you destroyed him I can activate his effect and we both get hit with 400 points instead of just me, but that's not all I activate to special summon him back to the field, then I activate Inferno Reckless Summon to bring out two more Chthonian Soldiers"
"Not good" Alexis said trying to hide her worried tone
"Don't worry Jay will pull through" Austin said as he pumped his fist in the air confidently
"I hope you're right" Syrus added in
"I'll set three cards and end my turn" Jaden said
"Hah, giving up already Slacker" Chazz said with a crude smirk as her drew his card
"In your dreams maybe" Jaden retorted with his own smirk
"I sacrifice two Soldiers to summon Helpoemer (Atk: 2000), Now attack his Sparkman" Chazz said
"I activate, Negate attack" Jaden said with a small smirk
"I set one card and end" Chazz said through gritted teeth
"Good, my move, and I activate Polymerization to summon Flame wingman to the field" Jaden said as his Ace speed out of a vortex and took its place next to him
Chazz laughed "I activate Chthonian Polymer which if I tribute my last soldier I can take control of your Fusion monster"
"What!" Jaden shouted in shock
"That's right" Chazz said with a cackle
"I set another card and end"
"This SLACKER! is why you belong in that red blazer, I knew beating Crowler was just a fluke" Chazz said "Now Flame wingman attack his Sparkman!"
"I activate Mirror Gate" Jaden said revealing his trap
"What's that do?" Chazz asked
"It puts me in control of Wingman and gives you Sparkman, and the battle phase continues" Jaden said with a smile
"Darn it!" Chazz shouted
CHAZZ LP: 1000
JADEN LP: 3600
"And since wingman stays with me you can't attack and have to end your battle phase" Jaden said with a smug look
"Fine, but now I get your Flame wingman back which I'll throw out my whole had and tribute your monster to summon Infernal Incinerator (Atk: 2300 {usually 2800}) his affect makes him lose some muscle but he's still stronger than anything you've got" Chazz said angrily ending his turn
Jaden drew his card and smiled big "I acti-"
"Chazz security's on their way!" One of the cronies shouted
"Damn, We'll settle this later Slacker" Chazz said running out of the room
"Let's move" Austin said opening a panel on the wall "We can get out here"
"I guess it is good we brought the kid who's Dad owns the place" Jaden said with a laugh

A few moments later the four stood at the entrance to the school. "Jaden, you almost lost" Alexis said almost in disbelief.
Jaden smiled "No way, the duel isn't over till the last card is played" He said flipping the card he had drawn over to show it was monster reborn "I would have been able to bring back Flame Wingman and win the duel with this if we weren't interrupted"
'I can't believe I doubted him, he really is special' Alexis thought to herself with a soft smile "Well, we should head back to our dorms" she said still smiling at him
"No way, ya'll just come stay the night in my room" Austin said smiling at the other three "I mean Jaden is gonna end up livin' there soon enough anyway"
Jaden laughed "Well, we don't have class till Monday so I guess it couldn't hurt" He shrugged
"I'm in" Syrus said smiling
Alexis sighed "Well, I was gonna have to comeback anyway for Mindy and Jasmine, I'm in"
"Then let's go" Austin said turning and breaking into a run towards the dorm, with the other close behind
