Author's note: And now here comes chapter 2! And sorry this came out later then I meant to. The site was giving me trouble with figuring out how to add the second chapter. Hope you enjoy and sorry if there are any problems with what was typed. I have yet to figure out how to fix them and to figure out why it came out like it did. I know I did a better job than that. Anyway, forgot to add the disclaimer in the last chapter. This will be when we learn more about one of the wanderers. Hope your curious! Enjoy! Chapter 2: A new student?
"Who knows. But I hope this means that I get to dual somebody at least." Said Jaden, eagerly.
"Jay, you're always hoping for a dual." Said Syrus sighing.
"You bet I am!" he cheered, before soon reaching and nearly passing the auditorium out of excitement. As soon as they went in and hurried to their seats next to Hassleberry, just before Crowler and the vice-Chancellor had come in. They had just made it.
From their seats, they spotted Chazz among the others in white which lately has been growing by a lot, to the far right of the room from them. He's been with them ever since Chazz took out most of the students in a dual and then seemed to somehow brainwash them and now they've all gone crazy.
"Now, now students. Lets behave now. We have a special guest with us today and will be staying with us for awhile, so lets make them feel welcome while they're staying with us, am I clear?" he took our silence as an answer. "Good, then I shall introduce you to our guest, who by the way is former Chancellor Sheppard's relative. Anyway, here's our special guest and she says to just call her Rena and without any formalities."
Then a girl came onto the stage. When she did, people noted that she had silver hair and wore a headband. She also wore a white blouse on, with a medium skirt that was also white and she also wore black pants underneath the skirt. She wore a jacket that was white and had the combined colors of the three dorms mixed in on it. She also had her hair up in a high-ponytail. She also had the most bluest eyes Jaden had ever seen that he couldn't help but stare at her until he realized that Syrus had called his name more than once already.
"I'm sorry, Sy. I didn't hear you, whats up?" Jaden asked, after regretting looking away from the girl on the stage.
"Well, I don't think you've yet to notice, but the girl, Rena, hasn't stopped staring at you the same amount of time you've been doing the same thing." Said Syrus with a bit of a teasing tone.
Jaden just stared at him a bit surprised. And confused at what he said. "If I didn't know better I'd say it was love at first sight, but with you, who knows." Said Syrus.
"Heh?" asked Jaden, but before Syrus could answer though, Crowler then called for their attention again.
"Now, you are all dismissed. Except for you, Jaden. I need to have a word with you in my office. Now." He said that last part with as much authority as he could muster. Jaden decided to see what was up.
Jaden soon met up with Crowler and to his somewhat surprise, so was Rena.
"So, whats up?" he asked them both just to the chase. This seemed to annoy Crowler more. ~Oh, well. He has always hated me since I came here, so I'm used to this by now.~ thought Jaden.
"Well, Jaden. Apparently, you've been chosen specifically to, how should I put it, be her bodyguard and her guide for as long as she's here, am I clear?" asked Crowler.
"Sure thing, teach, but what or whom am I protecting Rena from exactly?" asked Jaden, curious.
"I'll leave that for her to explain to you. I have a feeling that either you'll be able to understand better or that she will be willing to tell you more than she did with me, anyway." Said Crowler. "I still don't completely understand what she's trying to explain. As far as I can tell, all you'll have to do to protect her is just dual the ones that might or might not come after her during the time she's here. Though she says they shouldn't be able to follow her here, though I've yet to figure out who these people are though or even what they want from her and that, too, she won't even say, either." He muttered that last part.
"I heard that." Said Rena finally breaking her silence. Just as a little dragon spirit appeared on her shoulder and at the same time, Jaden's Winged Kuriboh appeared on his. "So, uncle was right when he said you might have a monster spirit attached to you."
"You can see my partner here?" asked Jaden, surprised.
"Yes, can't everyone?" she asked, puzzled.
"Actually, here it's not common if at all existing." Said Crowler. "I bet it's just the students making it up." At that comment, both Rena and Jaden rolled their eyes at the exact same time.
"Anyway, Rena also gets to decide which dorm she'll be-" started Crowler.
"Red dorm." She said. "It'll be easier for both of us." She then looked out the window behind Crowler.
"Plus, that dorm has an awesome view." Rena and Jaden both said at the exact same time. Which made both of them blink and look at each other again in surprise.
"Well, that should settle everything for now. You may both leave." Said Crowler before shooing them out and Jaden caught sight of him now returning to his speed writing.
Jaden turned to ask Rena some questions only to see his spirit partner and Rena's talking to each other as if they had just became fast friends. Jaden couldn't help but smile at this and even Rena was smiling, but there was sadness in it he noticed.
"So, is it true that you, too, can see the dual spirits?" asked Jaden, curiously.
"Um, yes." She answered surprised by his random question.
Jaden's smile grew. "Don't you think its pretty cool?" he asked.
"I used to, until one day something… happened." She said, suddenly looking away from him.
"What did?" he asked, even more curious now.
"…I guess its okay to show you. Your spirit partner said that… you're a good person and that you're trustworthy. Though, do you know where we don't have to worry about being overheard?" Rena asked.
"Well, right now most of the students would be at their classes or wandering around on the island exploring or looking for someone to dual with. So maybe we should try heading towards the Slifer dorm now. The only one that would be there now is Pharoh. Plus, it would give you the chance to pick a room before a friend of mine gets back there. He's strict about who gets to be in the part he had renovated recently. Though, honestly, I don't have a clue what he'll do these days with how he's been acting lately." Said Jaden casually, but Rena could tell that he was worried for his friend.
"Now, it seems to be my turn to ask what happened?" she asked. As they were talking, they began walking to the dorm.
"That I don't even know. The others think he might've hit his head or has been brainwashed or something. It happened supposedly just after… I left here for a little while." Jaden said a little awkwardly.
"Was that when you got those space cards?" Rena asked, looking as if concentrating on something.
Jaden blinked. "That's right. Can you see them, too?"
"Yeah and hear them when they speak. Though I've never heard of them or seen these cards before. How'd you come across them?" Rena asked. They now had reached the path that leads through the woods and began walking through there.
"Well, more like they found me, but before that, I had created them originally for this drawing contest that the Kaiba Corp. was having when I was a kid and the winner got to have their drawings made into cards and sent into space to get fused with some kind of matter that was found there by them." He said, cheerfully.
"And you were the winner." She guessed from the way he seemed to get happier and happier as he talked about it. She couldn't help but smile at this. She had never been around someone so cheerful in a long time. Not even when she was with her sister.
"Yep." He said, smiling so brightly that Rena staggered a bit. "They've helped me out in a lot of jams, too. And are you okay?" he asked, noticing her stumble.
"I'm fine, just… tripped over a root I think." She said, as she straightened herself up. Then Rena suddenly seemed to freeze on the spot.
"Rena, whats wrong?" asked Jaden, with a worried look.
She looked at him and at first Jaden could've sworn he saw a moment of fear in her eyes just as fast as it was gone. "Uh, yeah, listen there's something I need to get back at the school. I'll be able to find my way back to the dorms on my own. You just go on ahead." She said, about to head in the direction to do so before Jaden could say anything else.
"Oh, I don't think there's any need for that since you'll not be coming back here anytime soon." Said a new voice from behind both of them.
Rena and Jaden both whirled around to see a guy who only looked to be a few years older than Jaden and he had purple hair and pretty much all his clothing was black and purple. Plus, the air around the guy was so thick with darkness that it was almost intoxicating or just making it pretty hard to breath. And it was already starting to kill the plants around them. All the while the guy was just smirking.
And thus so ends chapter 2! And so now the two of them are about to meet someone new. And he's definitely not friendly. What shall happen in the next chapter and who is this new guy? Wait and find out and enjoy! Oh, and many thanks again to all who've gave reviews! Hope you liked the new chapter and the next!
