No one can give you freedom. If you are a man, you must take it.
Around 10:00 AM the next day, the students tumbled from the plane in a dazed, tired mess. Still in ratty street clothes, they were told to meet in the assembly hall for a greeting from the school's principal, Sheppard. They stood in the assembly hall, waiting for someone to show up.
Just as they were getting restless, a giant monitor on the wall flickered to life, showing a man in his early 50's smiling upon the new students. His salt-and-pepper beard combined with smile wrinkles around his eyes immediately made the students feel at ease.
"Greetings to you all! I am the principal of this academy, Dr. Sheppard. But what's more important is who you are. I see the potential in every one of you to become something great. It's up to you whether you realize that greatness waiting inside of you. Here, you will train both your body and mind, and develop into something the world has never seen."
The student's were slightly put off by his hammy speech. The serious gleam Sheppard's eye had suddenly disappeared. "But enough of that. It is time to show all to your dorms. Our proctors will escort you to your new homes for the next nine months. Make sure to show up for the welcome dinner we will be putting on for you all at 6 '0 clock sharp! Until then, explore and enjoy this beautiful island!". With that, the students went their separate ways.
Jaden and Syrus lazily strode on the walkway leading from the enormous school building. "Wow, this place sure is beautiful! I can't wait to check this scenery out!" Jaden smiled.
Syrus grunted with the exertion of carrying his suitcase. "Me too! But first, let's get to our dorms. The card I got says we're in Slifer Red. Damn, and that's all the way across the island! We're practically on the beach! Besides, this suitcase is heavy!" Syrus belly-ached.
Jaden shot him a sideways glare. "Quit your whining. My parents always talk about how nice it would be to have waterfront property, and we're getting it. And that suitcase can't be more than ten pounds, ya pansy." Jaden then took Syrus' suitcase along with his own. Syrus looked a Jaden for a second, then smiled.
The duo then bumped into Bastion, who was wearing a yellow blazer with similar yellow shoes and white slacks. "I'm surprised you gentlemen haven't changed into your uniforms yet. What dorm are you two in?" Bastion said smoothly. "Says here we're in Slifer Red. That's good right?" Syrus pleaded.
Bastion's face quickly flashed with disappointment and concern before returning to its dry, stoic mask. "Are you in Slifer Red too, bud?" Jaden snapped. "Well, genius, I'm wearing a yellow uniform, so I clearly must be in Slifer RED." Bastion snarked.
Jaden pursed his lips. "Point. Well, I guess we'll be seeing you around then, man. I hope you keep up training, and best of luck in your studies!" Jaden said. Bastion was put off by how unusually magnanimous Jaden was being, but appreciated it. "Absolutely. Best of luck in your training.".
After trekking for a mile, Jaden and Syrus arrived at the dorm, which was less of a dorm, and more of a tool shed. "Ah, that must be where they keep the groundskeeper's tools. Now then, do you see the dorm anywhere, Jaden?" Syrus said, blissfully unaware of the reality of the situation.
Jaden nervously laughed. "I think that might the dorm, Sy." Syrus laughed. "Good one. But really, we should find where our accommodations are." An awkward silence came, and passed. A solitary breeze blew tumbleweed by the tool shed. Tears began to flow down Syrus' innocent cheeks.
The duo slowly trudged up the rickety, rotted wooden steps. As Jaden attempted to open the door to their room, it fell off of its rusted hinges. The shades were drawn around the room, the solitary source of light coming in a harsh manner by the 30-inch TV with a video game on screen. against the wall. A roach feasted on the crust of a long-eaten pizza. Smoked blunts were scattered across the floor.
"You have to be joking. These conditions aren't suitable for a migrant factory worker, much less students of an extremely expensive boarding school! Where the hell have our parents tax dollars gone?!" Syrus ranted and raved, the tears streaming down. J
aden scrunched his nose. "Who exactly is our roommate? The guy's a slob. This place wouldn't be so bad if you took the effort to look after it." Suddenly a mass of cellulite shifted on the top of the bunk bed, scaring Jaden and Syrus. "Keep it down! Can't you see I'm trying to get some much-needed sleep!" He turned around and faced the duo.
Jaden and Syrus immediately began laughing, as this man looked like a Koala. Everything, from his hefty figure to his big red nose, made him look like a marsupial. "Hey, you must be our…roommate. I'm Jaden and this is Syrus. What's your name, fella?" Jaden said diplomatically. "The name's Chumley Huffington. Although there's not much point in remembering it. We're all gonna be shipped back home before long." The big man sighed in defeat.
"Why do you say that? It's only our first day here. Even Syrus is more confident than that!" Jaden said. Chumley snorted. "It's not my first day, let me tell you that. I've been held back. So I have to experience to back this statement; don't get your hopes up. You'll just fail in the end."
A fire sparked in Jaden's eyes. "Oh yeah, is that right? Just because you were held back, why should I give a shit? I'm gonna be the biggest badass here!" Jaden's voice rose with impassioned anger.
Chumley sneered. "Do you know what it means to be in Slifer Red? There are three dorms at Duel Academy. There's Obelisk Blue; a dorm with all the comforts of a five-star hotel. The kids there are there because of their unmatchable academic scores. Their fighters are some of the most powerful on the island, capable of challenging even professor-level opponents. They're all rich, entitled punks who have had everything handed to them-" "So what? I beat a professor too. They can't be that powerful." Jaden interjected.
Chumley took a deep breath, then moved on. "Then there's Ra Yellow. Ra Yellow kids are all-around average. There are some students who are really smart, but aren't very strong, and vice-versa. Then there's us. The dropouts. The failures. The barely-made-its." Chumley then slumped back into his pillow. "Get the picture?"
"That's kinda messed up; why not give the students equally comfortable accommodations? Instead we're getting segregated." Syrus muttered. Jaden's eyes hardened. "Like I care about what color jacket I'm wearing. I'm gonna be the biggest badass this school has ever seen, whether I'm red, yellow, or blue. This is no time to give up, Chumley! Our lives are just beginning!" Jaden was fired up. "Come on, let's check this school out, Sy. Chumley, get outta bed and walk around with us." Chumley had a strange look to him. He said nothing. Jaden ran out of patience. "Suit yourself. Let's go, Sy."
Jaden and Syrus ambled through the halls of the school, making idle small talk. Jaden's countenance seemed somewhat hung up, however. "Hey Jay, you're not upset about that Chumley guy, are you?" Syrus said with concern. "Nah. I wish he wouldn't try to drag us down with him, though. That guy needs a kick in the rear. But enough about that, how about a friendly spar, man? I'm interested in your Zanpakuto, and there's a training area right up ahead. " Jaden mumbled. Syrus suddenly grew shifty. "Sure, I'm up for a spar." Syrus worded his answer carefully.
The duo entered the duel area, surveying the impressive facility. Suddenly, a voice from the bleachers surrounding the ring sounded down to them. "Hey! What are you two doing?" Two young men wearing Obelisk Blue long coats snapped at the Slifer duo.
"We were just going to have a friendly match." Jaden spoke up at them. "Not here you aren't! This is the Obelisk Blue training facility! No Ra or Slifer kids allowed!" Syrus bit his lip. Jaden set his jaw in frustration. "So what? No else is using the place right now, so we're gonna. You have a problem?" He yelled.
"I know the perfect way to solve this." A rough, harsh voice sounded from the hallway. A rather short boy with ash-black hair and an Obelisk Blue long coat entered the room, sporting a sinister smirk. Jaden vaguely recognized him as the guy who shoved into him on the plane. "Boss!" The two Obelisk Blues seemed to recognize the boy as their superior.
"Hey, is it cool if we train here? We won't wreck the place too much." Jaden goofed. Chazz bared his teeth in a menacing leer. "You're the kid who beat Crowler right?" He said quickly. Jaden put his hand on his hilted Zanpakuto. "That's right." Chazz's empty grey eyes momentarily lit up. "Is that so? In that case, you're going to fight me right here, right now." Chazz whipped out his Zanpakuto, a black steel broadsword with a grey hilt. Jaden and Syrus scrambled back. "Woah! Why do we have to fight, man?" Jaden stammered. "There's no way a slacker like you could beat a professor that easily. I'm going to see if what happened at the exam was a fluke or not. Have I dumbed it down enough for you yet?" Jaden slowly drew his own sword. "Fine. You seem pretty strong. This is gonna be really fun!" Jaden's grin matched Chazz's, although it lacked the predatory malice that Chazz had.
The two boys' eyes were quickly attracted to a new presence in the arena. A tall, beautiful woman with long, dirty blonde hair looked upon the scene with a detached impassiveness. Chazz quickly sheathed his sword. "Hey there, Alexis. How's it going!?" His tone became a different sort of predatory. Alexis' porcelain face didn't change expression, but somehow gave a withering scowl all the same. "I'm supposed to find you and bring you to the dorm. The welcome dinner starts in 15 minutes." She forced out. Chazz smiled. "Ah, my mistake. I was merely showing this rookie how things are done around here, you see-" "Shut up. I don't care." Chazz audibly gulped, then regained his composure. "Very well. I'll see you at dinner, girl!" He smirked at her and Jaden before departing the premises with his goons.
Syrus unclenched his teeth. But as Chazz left, he felt a new source of tension in the room. The girl before them was clearly an Obelisk Blue. She was wearing a tight blue and white blouse with a short miniskirt that showed off her tantalizing legs. She had an intimidating beauty about her, one that begged a courageous man to challenge it. While she was talking to Chazz, Syrus felt a wave of ice-cold spiritual pressure wash over him. Her expression then changed from strict to somewhat friendly, albeit in a detached way nonetheless. "You two should get back to your dorms. Your welcome dinner starts soon as well."
Jaden felt challenged by both her beauty and her power. "Hey, why'd you chase that guy off? I was just about to kick his ass." She gave a polite laugh. "I'm sure you were. After all, you did beat Crowler. But really, you shouldn't mess around with Chazz. That guy is a whore for fights. Back in prep school, he was always getting in scraps with kids, even before he awakened his Zanpakuto." She pontificated.
Jaden stared at her breasts as she talked. "Your name is Jaden Yuki, right?" She asked. He smiled in a goofy way. "That's right, and this is my partner in crime, Syrus. I think you two would make a good couple!" He joked, obviously putting the moves on her. Syrus blushed like a Japanese schoolgirl. Alexis gave a genuine laugh at that remark.
"Well, Sy, let's get to the dinner! Sorry lady, we don't have time to talk any longer. Maybe you should give me your number, so we can continue this conversation later." His wheeling was unabashed at this point. She smiled. "Your game isn't bad, but you'll have to do better than that." She said politely, yet coldly. "I'll see you around, Jaden Yuki." With that, they departed to their respective dorms.
At the Obelisk Blue dorms, the students were enjoying a feast that cost thousands of dollars. Freshly caught crab, lobster, and prime rib were the main courses, along with buttery mashed potatoes, seasoned and garnished asparagus, and cocktail shrimp. Champagne and red wine sat in tubs of ice, cracked open by underage kids. The party had the air of a royal ball, with the sounds of clinking glasses and polite conversation.
At the Yellow Dorm, the meal was modest, yet plentiful all the same. The yellow students were eating jerk chicken, barbeque, scallops, and shrimp, along with some carrots and broccoli. They drank water and soda, although most of the kids smuggled in cheap beer. They all sat at long wooden tables, eating with plastic utensils. The conversations were somewhat rowdy, but had an air of friendliness to it.
The children of the red dorm stared at a tray of grocery store sushi and white rice, with paper cups of tepid water to drink. The kids sat in a crowded mess hall. The red kids yelled, ate loudly, and farted, also drinking cheap beer they bought from a guy at the Yellow dorm. Jaden and Chumley gobbled up their sodium-filled sushi, with Syrus picking at his food in despondent fashion.
Later that night, Jaden and Syrus sat in beanbag chairs, playing a friendly match of Street Fighter on Chumley's Xbox. "Thanks for being a bro and letting me play your game, Chumley!" Jaden hollered up at the portly chap. "No problem. Might as well be nice to people you're gonna be roommates with." Chumley grumbled. Earlier, Syrus had taken the liberty of cleaning the trash off of the ground and generally cleaning up the place. Now, one could enter the room without immediately wanting to throw up.
Right as Jaden landed a particularly difficult combo, his cell phone vibrated in his pocket. Cursing his luck, Jaden answered the phone. "Just so you know, I was right in the middle of kicking Syrus' ass and you interrupted. I hope you have a good reason." The voice on the other end of the line shocked Jaden. "Like I care. Don't think you're off the hook, Slifer. We will have our fight, unless you're too pussy and wanna back out." The raspy voice snarled. "Chazz! How the hell did you get my number?" Jaden inquired. "Our school has a directory. Do you not recall having to tell the administration your phone number?" Chazz quickly explained. "Anyway, meet me at the Obelisk arena at midnight." "I'll be there! I can't wait to see how strong you really are!" Jaden said with excitement.
Syrus set down his controller and looked at Jaden with concern. "Jaden, midnight is after our curfew. You don't wanna be in trouble, especially on our first day, do you? You can't just break the rules like that!" Syrus reasoned. Jaden smiled, then threw his head back and laughed. "Syrus, here's what you need to know about me. I do what I want. No matter what rules surround me, I am free. I will follow rules if I like them, but I just as easily won't. I don't like our curfew. I want to fight Chazz. Therefore, I will fight Chazz." Syrus' eyes widened. Chumley observed Jaden with great interest.
Jaden's eyes swam with visions of romantic adventure. "Syrus, you seem like someone who is confined by the circumstances around you. Don't you wanna come and turn the world upside down with me?" Jaden's smile was too much for Syrus to resist. "You're right. Besides, Chazz would give you way too much shit if you backed out." Syrus muttered. "Right! Chumley, I want you to come have some fun with us!" Jaden's voice was commanding. Chumley smiled. "You know how to give a speech, Yuki. But I'm not interested." Chumley then picked up a remote and turned the TV channel. Jaden smiled. "Alright, fine then." Jaden grabbed his Zanpakuto. "Syrus, do you have your sword with you?" Jaden turned around and asked. Syrus pulled out a short pocket knife with a blue-colored case. "Right here. It's easy to carry around."
The two friends ran across the wide-open lawn in sheer exhilaration. They finally reached the arena, quietly opening the door to the still-lit facility. They saw Chazz waiting in the ring, foot tapping in impatience. When he saw Jaden, a feral smirk played on his normally grim face. "Nice to see you showed up. For a second I was scared you would chicken out." "No way. I don't know why you have beef with me, but I honestly could care less. You're an Obelisk, and you're strong. That's all the reason I need." Jaden said. "Good to hear." Jaden and Chazz stood about ten yards across from each other in the ring. Syrus stood behind Jaden, while Chazz had no one in his corner. Both combatants drew their blades, ready to fight.
Chazz was the first to strike, taking three large leaps across the ring, swinging a powerful overhead strike at Jaden, who blocked it with difficulty. They locked blades, with Chazz pushing Jaden back towards the edge of the ring.
As Jaden diverted all effort towards guarding Chazz's heavy black blade, Chazz aimed a kick at Jaden's side. Jaden got the wind knocked out of him, allowing Chazz to bring his sword down on Jaden.
Right before it made contact, Jaden rolled out of the way. Chazz fell off balance from swinging his heavy sword, giving Jaden an opportunity to knee Chazz in the gut. As he doubled over in pain, Jaden punched Chazz in the face, causing the Obelisk Blue student to fly across the ring. Chazz used to momentum of the blow to his advantage, flipping in the air and landing on his feet. Jaden regained his breath as Chazz wiped blood from his lip.
As the two combatants stared each other down, Chazz held his sword out in front of him. "You're not bad, slacker. But it's time to show you the difference in our skill. Sobu Suri, Fuunji (Equip, Soldier of Fortune)." A short burst of air blustered from Chazz as his spiritual pressure spiked. Chazz held his blade out and yelled as he powered up. A light-blue aura began to form, then settled around Chazz's sword. Syrus braced himself as Chazz powered up. Jaden stood his ground, gazing upon the shikai with brazen confidence.
"My Zanpakuto's shikai is considered to be one of the most versatile out of any blade in the school. It allows me to change the shape of my weapon. The more I train with it, the more weapon shapes I can use." To demonstrate, Chazz transformed his black broadsword into a long wooden spear. "Because of this, I was accepted into Obelisk Blue, despite the fact that I have not achieved Bankai." Chazz muttered the last part to himself.
At the sound of that strange term, Jaden's ears perked up. "Bankai? What's that?" Chazz smirked an ugly smirk. "If you don't know what Bankai is, than you don't deserve to know! It only shows how much of a slacker you are!" Jaden snarled. "Fine! I don't care what is! I won't need it to prove that I'm strong! "Daishi no Yosu, Eiyu no Hoshi!" Jaden's form did not change at all, but everyone knew what that command meant.
As the two rivals braced for combat, another observer made their presence known. "Wow. This is quite a ways to go for a simple dick measuring contest." Alexis commented. Jaden, Syrus, and Chazz were braced to run, in case she had brought campus security with her. Sensing the tension, Alexis chuckled with derision. "You think I would bring campus security with me? As if. I wanna see this fight, despite how meaningless it is." Jaden chuckled. "I think you're rooting for me to win and don't wanna admit it." He flirted. "Think that if you want. By the way, watch out." Jaden took her advice and ducked to his knees, narrowly avoiding Chazz's spear. Jaden swung his katana in an uppercut, nicking Chazz's chin.
Chazz's eyes lit up, as if he had just got an idea. He quickly pointed his index and middle fingers at Jaden. Jaden lunged at Chazz, but suddenly stopped in his tracks. A desperate chill worked its way up his spine, and his arms were forced behind his back. "What the hell is this?!" Jaden hurriedly tried to will himself free. "Bakudo #1, Sai (Restrain). I figured you couldn't use kido. It requires too much control for someone as slow as you. Therefore, there's no way you could escape from this! " Chazz smirked, and lunged forward with his spear.
Jaden quickly mustered energy in his mouth, his cheeks bulging. "Eiyu no Hoshi: Gokakkyu! (Hero of the Stars: Great Fireball)" An enormous burst of flame erupted from Jaden's mouth, causing Chazz to immediately backpedal to the end of the ring. As Chazz lost concentration on the binding spell, Jaden broke free of it.
Not giving Chazz time to cast another spell, Jaden wrapped the orange flames around his sword, causing his blade to look like a majestic flaming cross. Chazz reformed his weapon, this time into two curved scimitars, with red tassels on the bottom of the hilt. Jaden held his sword above his head briefly, then slammed onto the ground. He manipulated the fire, causing to roll off of the sword in a wave-like shape, burning the ring in a straight line.
Chazz's form flashed for a second, moving at high speeds. He then reappeared in front of Jaden, swinging two blades down upon Jaden. Jaden blocked once again. At first, Chazz appeared to be forcing Jaden back. Slowly, but surely, a humming noise drilled into the ears of everyone present. Chazz quickly realized where the noise was coming from, and withdrew his strike immediately.
Syrus was rapt with awe, while Alexis gave an appraising look. A high-pressure wind current had built up around Jaden's sword. The humming had progressed to a high-pitched whine. "I call this move Daitoppen (Cutting Wind). By manipulating the air around us and compressing it, I can give a regular sword the consistency of a chainsaw. Seriously, this thing can through damn near anything in one strike." To demonstrate, Jaden quickly slashed his blade across the floor, leaving a deep gash where the blade hit.
Chazz coldly sneered. "You have been blessed. A zanpakuto that controls the four elements…that's way too powerful for a loser like you." Jaden pointed his sword at Chazz. "Who cares? The Zanpakuto is a reflection of the user's soul. We color its power with our personalities. Our very essence is reflected in the blade. My Zanpakuto is strong because I am strong, and vice-versa. It sounds like your making excuses. If you're such an elite warrior, it shouldn't matter what powers my sword has." Jaden pontificated. Chazz snarled and launched himself at Jaden.
Alexis stroked her chin in thought. She spoke to Syrus without looking at him. "You know, I thought he was just a stupid frat boy, but he might be smarter than he looks. He shows surprising understanding of his blade." Syrus laughed. "He might be insane, but there does appear to be a method to his madness."
Chazz wildly swung his black swords, his fighting style becoming more free-flowing. Jaden tried to cut him down with Daitoppen, but Chazz deftly was able to avoid every potential strike. Chazz went in for a stab, but Jaden jumped back, only receiving a cut across his shirt for his trouble. Jaden placed both hands on his sword's hilt and began to rotate the sword in a windmill-like fashion.
Using Daitoppen, a strong tunnel of wind began to pick up speed. Chazz's advance was halted, and he slowly found himself being pushed back. The wind was so strong, it caused his blue jacket to fringe and tatter. Jaden, rapidly losing energy, poured his power into creating a large burst of air pressure. "Haaah!" Jaden's outburst of power caused a sonic boom, causing a loud crack to be heard across the facility. "Shit!" Chazz was swept off of his feet, flying up into the ceiling before collapsing on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
"Well, now we have campus security on our asses. That attack must have been felt by the entire island." Alexis prepared to bolt, slowly moving towards the nearest exit. "I agree." Syrus began to inch towards the door as well. Jaden, however, was too caught up in the fight to care. He sauntered towards Chazz, who was sprawled across the ground. "Hey, you put up a good fight! That was fun, but we should probably go." Jaden kneeled down to see if Chazz was alright.
Chazz's eyes quickly snapped open as he pointed his index finger at Jaden. "Hado #4, Byakurai! (White Lightning)" A bright, cream-colored blast of energy slammed into Jaden, who took the blast head on. However, the white lightning quickly dissipated. Jaden was still able to stand, despite sustaining burns across his arms and chest. Chazz slowly dragged himself to his feet. "Wow, he can take some punishment!" Jaden marveled at Chazz's durability. "You think…I would just lay down and accept defeat like that!?" Chazz growled. Jaden picked up his sword, which he dropped after being hit by the lightning, with a hint of trepidation in his eye.
Before they could continue to fight, Alexis and Syrus jumped into the ring, grabbing Jaden's shoulder. "Hey, let's go. This fight isn't worth it." Syrus said seriously. "There's campus security on the way. We have a minute, tops." Alexis said. To prove her point, the kids faintly heard boot steps outside in the hallway. Jaden's pride sorely wanted to continue the fight, but he realized that he wouldn't be able to finish it before the cops arrived. "Let's roll. Hey Chazz, you better get outta here too-" Jaden turned around to find that Chazz had already escaped. "Heh, guess he's good at running away."
The three students ran out of the back exit, and didn't look back until they were well out of sight of the school. They stopped near the edge of the forest near the Obelisk Blue Dorms. After they checked to make sure they were out of danger, Jaden threw his head back and laughed a crazy, long laugh. His mood was so infectious, Syrus and Alexis began to laugh too, after a while. The laughter eventually died down to a comfortable silence. "Well, Sy, surely that was more fun that being cooped up in the dorm, wasn't it?" Jaden smiled over at the boy who was quickly becoming his best friend. While their personalities clashed, a good adventure seemed to bring them together.
"And how about you, ice queen? Did you like watching our "dick-measuring contest?", as you put it?" Jaden asked pointedly. Alexis crossed her arms. "It was fun, actually. You show great promise, Yuki. I'd love to fight you sometime in the future." She tilted her head. "Name a time and place, and you're on! Maybe you should give me your number so we can communicate and stuff." He winked. "Don't push your luck." Despite her cold dismissal of him, he just laughed.
"Man, I could sleep right here." He leaned against a tree. "A starry night, warm weather, and good friends." Syrus grinned at Jaden, while Alexis pursed her lips. "Well, as nice as sleeping on the ground sounds, I'm going back to the dorm. I'll see you in class tomorrow. But first, this should fix you up."
She walked over to Jaden and wordlessly gathered green energy into her hand. She quickly waved it over Jaden. His wounds were healed, leaving little evidence of his fight, other than his ripped clothes. She appeared to be using some kind of kido, but Jaden couldn't be sure. With that, she faded into the night. Jaden and Syrus walked back to the dorm and crashed into their bunk beds, falling into dreamless sleep.
A/N
Greetings, lovely readers, and thank you for reading Chapter 2 of Kids With Swords!
I hope that you found the first of many battles between Jaden and his rival Chazz to your liking. Chazz's characterization here will be more influenced by his counterpart in the manga, where he is actually a respectable character. I highly urge anime-only watchers to check the manga out, as it can influence how you view the characters. Alexis' character is also more from the manga, where she is a little meaner than she is in the anime, at least at first.
When creating Chazz's Zanpakuto, I decided to base it around a simple, yet versatile ability. In the GX series, he plays many different archetypes of cards, so I figured he could be proficient with many types of weapons in the KWS verse. As far as chapter updates will proceed, I will probably be able to update about every saturday or so, pending extenuating circumstances, of course. In the meantime, tell me what you thought of this chapter! What are your expectations of the story in the future?
Review Responses-
Wow I honestly got to say I never read anything like this, let alone a bleach/yugioh GX to you for this idea it is certainly a unique story, Humor was good but got to say it has potential as a serious fic if you wanted to go that Zanpaktou's as well, you must be filled with ideas I like that :)Look forward to reading more. -Lightningblade49
Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm honored that you chose to be the first review for this story! When it comes to KWS being a serious fic, I will tell you that the story will include some serious elements down the road, including some parts that may expand on the Yu-Gi-Oh GX canon. For the most part, however, I would like the story to avoid being melodramatic. I simply feel that I am not as good at writing serious works yet, you see.
