Narrative POV
"Do I really need to wear this strange get-up?" Jesse asked. Jaden tried to suppress his laughter, resulting in a smirk on his face.
Jesse was looking at himself in a mirror in Jaden's dorm. Because he was just visiting but he would be following Jaden around, he had been forced to wear a spare Obelisk uniform. This uniform was very different from the ones more commonly seen around Duel Academy.
His outfit consisted of black pants, brown boots, a white shirt with ruffled long sleeves, and a blue vest he left unbuttoned in the front.
"What's wrong with it? It looks good on you," Jaden said, his suppressed laughter evident in his voice. Jesse shot him a sour look. He sighed and smoothed his hands over his chest, looking at the mirror again.
"I guess its okay," he admitted. Jaden smiled and threw his arm across his shoulders.
"Of course it is." He started pulling him to the door. "Now let's move. Dr. Crowler is my first class and he'll be furious if I'm late again." Jesse looked at him.
"Does it really matter? He'll get furious with you one way or another." Jaden thought about that for a moment.
"I guess you're right." Jesse chuckled and pulled Jaden's from across his shoulders. He gave him a confused look. Jesse pulled a cell phone of the back pocket of his pants.
"I want to call Julie." Jaden smiled knowingly. He walked to the door, opening it.
"I'll be outside. Try not to talk too long." When Jesse nodded, he left the room closing the door silently behind himself.
When he was alone, Jesse flipped his phone open and held down the '2' button until the screen read 'Calling Julie…' He held the phone to his ear, listening to it ring until it went to voicemail.
'Hey, this is Julie. I can't answer right now because I'm either busy with my gorgeous boyfriend or taking care of our baby girl. Leave a message and I might get back to you.'
BEEP!
"Hey, babe. Sense your gorgeous boyfriend is the one calling I'm going to assume you're taking care of Maria." He smiled. "Just wanted to say hi and that I love you. Give Maria a hug and a kiss for me. I'll talk to you tonight."
With that, he snapped his phone shut and put it back into his pocket. Then he left the room and went with Jaden, exploring the campus known as Duel Academy.

Julie smiled as she closed her phone. Just when she started to miss that man, he called. He was probably, no, IS the most perfect man in the whole world. And she had him all to herself. Well, her and their daughter.
She set her phone down on the table in front of her. She turned and looked at the bundle of blankets next to her, reaching out and stroking the cheek of hers and Jesse's baby girl. Maria stirred slightly, only turning her head away from her mother. She reached up and rubbed her eyes, yawning before falling back into her nap.
Julie smiled as she watched her daughter. When she first learned that she was pregnant, she had been scared out of her mind. It didn't help at all that her life was on the verge of war. At first, she wasn't sure what she was going to do with her baby. But when Maria, a dear friend of Julie's, died protecting her because she was pregnant, she couldn't give up her baby, no matter what. And she was forever thankful that she didn't give up her baby, though she always wishes that Maria wouldn't have had to die.
With a sigh, Julie got up and picked up her baby. She didn't stir, even as her mother set her in her stroller. The two of them were going to walk to town. Julie had some things she needed to do and re father had the only car. Plus, Emmy was busy so she couldn't watch Maria. Julie grabbed the baby back and set it on the couch, going through it to make sure she had everything she would need.
"Good, that's everything." She smiled and went into the walk-in, where the front door lead into the house. She slipped her feet into her sandals and grabbed her jacket. She turned around, slipping her arms into it.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, the glass in it shattering when it slammed into the wall. She whirled around just in time to see a woman lunging at her. The woman caught her arm and spun her around, flinging her into the corner of the walkway between the walk-in and the living room. Julie gasped in pain, her head cracking against the corner. She slumped down, cradling the back of her head with her hands. She felt a warm liquid rub against her palm. Groaning weakly, she forced herself to look up at the woman who just attacked her.
She had long, jet black hair and very bright green eyes. It was evident that she had died her hair that dark color. The woman wore all black: a corset that laced up in the front, a small, short sleeved jacket that ended just past her breasts, jeans that flared widely at the ankles, and three-inch heeled boots.
"Who are you?" Julie demanded with a snarl. She jumped to her feet, pulling her hands away from her head. Blood coated them and continued to run down her head and neck, staining her white blouse.
The girl smirked evilly at her. "My name is Angelina, but that doesn't matter anymore."
"And why is that?"
"Because I'm here to kill you." Julie froze; her face paling and her breath hitching in her throat. The silence in the house was defining. Suddenly, Maria began to cry. Julie's head whipped in the direction of the sound.
"Your baby knows that her mommy is about to die," Angelina said. Julie slowly turned back toward her. She had a gun drawn with a silencer attached to the end. She had it aimed right at Julie's head.
"Why are you here? Why are you trying to kill me? I haven't done anything to you!" Julie screamed. Angelina just shook her head.
"You did, I assure you of that." She smiled at her. "But don't worry; you don't need to worry about your daughter. I'll take good care of her." Julie ground her teeth together and began to see red. Angelina began to pull back the trigger when she spun around and kicked the gun out of her hand. It skidded across the floor, stopping when it hit the front wheel of Maria's stroller. She was still crying. "You're going to regret doing that." Angelina glared back at Julie. However, she was glaring at her with much more passion…rage.
"No, you're going to regret coming into my home and threatening me and my baby." With that, Julie lunged at her, taking her to the floor. She snarled loudly as they slammed against it. She reached up and gripped a handful of Julie's brown locks, trying to pull her off of her. Julie just slammed their foreheads together. Angelina's eyes rolled back in her head.
Julie jumped up quickly and scooped up the gun. She kept it pointed at the still stunned girl. With her free arm she shouldered the baby bag and grabbed her phone, sliding it into her back pocket. She grabbed Maria, cradling her head against her shoulder. She stopped crying when her mother held her, only sniffling softly.
Now that she had everything, Julie walked around Angelina's body. She was moaning weakly, obviously still disoriented. As Julie passed her, she noticed something glistening from around her neck. She glanced down to see what it was…and froze.
"It can't be," she stammered. Suddenly, Angelina grabbed her ankle. Julie screamed, causing Maria to start crying again. She whipped her head down to see Angelina raising herself off of the floor.
"You can't run away this time you Blood Leader Bitch!" she snarled. Julie ground her teeth together again and kicked her hard in the face with her other foot. She felt crushing underneath her foot. Angelina's hand slipped from around her foot as her head slumped against the ground. Blood ran down her face and her nose was crooked. Julie pointed the gun at her.
"I should kill you," she snarled. Angelina remained silent, unconscious. Julie glared at her but slowly lowered the gun. "But I have more important things to do." She threw the gun and it skidded underneath a dresser at the end of the room. She ran out of the house, spotting a rental car in the driveway. Without thinking, she ran to the car and opened the back door. No one was in the car. Being quick, she threw the baby back into the car and set Maria down. She was still crying.
"Shush. Please be quiet, baby. Mommy's right here," Julie soothed stroking her teal curls softly as she grabbed a pacifier from the bag. Maria calmed down when she placed it in her mouth. Sighing, Julie jumped in the driver's seat, slamming down the power lock button. She looked around the car, hoping to find the keys. Luckily for her, Angelina left them in the ignition. Smiling, she started the car and sped away. She buckled up and swiped the back of her hand across her forehead.
"I think I'm going to regret letting her live." She sighed again and pulled her cell phone out of her back pocket. She quickly texted her father what happened. She then dialed an unfamiliar number, holding the phone to her ear when she finished. It rang twice before someone answered.
"Hello?" It was a girl, younger than Julie, who was now eighteen.
"Jess, its Julie. We have a serious problem."
xXx
"Oh my God," Jess whispered as she fell into a chair. Julie stood next to the counter of the Yuki household, Maria on her hip with her head resting the crook of her neck. She was still sucking on the pacifier, sound asleep.
"They actually attacked you in your own home?" a male voice asked. Julie nodded, bouncing her baby once. There was an irritated look on her face.
"I wouldn't be here if they didn't, Tony!" Said man appeared out of the room next to them. He had short brown hair and honey-colored eyes. He resembled Jaden greatly in the face; only his face had a more defined facial structure. It was a very handsome one, a strong chin and deeply set eyes that made them stand out much more. He had stubble on his chin and cheeks. He wore blue jeans and an old flannel shirt.
"What do we do? What do they want?" Jess demanded. Julie looked away from Tony and walked over to her. She has never felt right near him in any of the few times they have met.
"Jess, they want to kill us," she said. She sat down next to the young girl. Jess looked at her confused.
"'Us'?" Julie sighed.
"Not you or Tony." She glanced up at the man. He leaned against the doorframe, his arms folded across his vast, muscular chest. "But 'us' as in the…leaders," she whispered. Jess gasped and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Onii-chan!" Tears sprang into her eyes. Julie reached out and stroked her hair.
"It's going to be okay, Jess. I'm leaving right now to get him and Jesse. But I need you to do something for me, okay?" Jess nodded. "Call everyone else and get them here. Jim, Axel, Chris, and Emmy, alright?" Jess nodded again. Julie smiled and kissed her on the forehead as she stood up. She walked past Tony, grabbing the baby bag.
"Leave Maria here, Julie. She'll be safest here," he said. Julie glared at him.
"The safest place for her is with me." He leveled his cool gaze with her heated one.
"What if that Angelina chick follows you? How safe will she be then?" She bit her lip hesitating. She knew he was right but she didn't want to leave Maria there…unprotected…with him. Tony was a lawyer, not a gang member! And Jess still hasn't gotten over murdering Aaron. Plus, she's only eleven! Maria needs protection, being the only daughter of two of the targets.
"She's staying with me, Tony. You just worry about your own family while I worry about mine," she said turning her back on him. She grabbed the long strap of the baby bag.
"I am," Tony said suddenly. Julie froze and looked over her shoulder at him. He was staring at her intently. She shouldered the bag and walked out of the house, slamming the door behind herself.
xXx
