A/N: Thanks for reading thus far. And, oh, as a warning, I'll be mixing some first and second season elements as well as Japanese and English dub stuff. But, hey, it's fanfic. And I want things to happen a certain way. As for the problems, it's only going to get worse from here...

Chapter 3:

Alexis giggled in the dark of the room, interrupting the silence. She knew she should by no means be doing this again; however, she found herself unable to refrain. Besides, it had been weeks since she'd felt so happy. She'd never felt so right as she did then, with Chazz lying on top of her, his mouth buried in her hair, kissing and nibbling her ear.

She giggled again. "Stop, you're tickling me."

"Sorry." He pushed himself closer.

Color flushed her cheeks, and she broke into a sweat. She couldn't speak for several minutes as she tried to catch her breath. She felt hot and feverish.

She clutched him tighter, her nails digging into his back, leaving small red streaks. He winced a little at the gesture.

"Stop killing me." She gasped.

"Sorry. Can't…help it…"

"Can't talk?"

He failed to respond.

She figured he couldn't say much because he felt too good. It pleased her, yet also disturbed her.

Finally, he managed to choke out, "I'm killing you? You're killing me."
A wave of dizziness overcame her. She dug her nails deeper in his skin, clenching her teeth and squeezing her eyes shut.

"You're dirty." she told him.

"I could say the same for you."

"I'm not a whore."

"I know."

"I'm not your personal whore, either."
"I know."

"You're a man of few words."

He couldn't respond. All he did was cling tighter. She began to feel as though she couldn't breathe at all.

He moved his mouth down to her breasts, and kissed them. She bristled, but didn't object. He ever so innocently slid his tongue out, and began French-kissing them.

"Chazz, must you?"

"Mm-hm."

"Eww, Chazz. You're nasty." She was laughing despite herself, though.

"Shhh." he hissed.

"I can't help it. It tickles."

"You're too ticklish. Someone will hear us if we aren't quiet." he admonished.

"At least we're not being all noisy about this."
"It's really hard not to be." he informed her.

"Mmmm, it sure is. Why are you so good?"

He shrugged, but didn't stop doing what he was doing. Neither did he stop kissing her.

She lay still for a minute, her heart thumping painfully against her ribs. She twisted her leg around his, and kicked it up for him. He shut his eyes and looked to be in ecstasy.

He pulled his mouth from her breast for a moment. "Don't stop."

"Do you think I want to?"
"No."

"Kick it up for me."

"But then it'll be over sooner, right?"

"I don't know, maybe. Maybe not. Just play your cards right." She teased.

"That was lame."

"You're lame."

She clasped her arms about his neck, pulling his face down and setting her mouth to his, hard. They kissed passionately for awhile, feeling hotter. Then, he slid his tongue in her mouth again. She thought she was going to die.

She figured they must look pretty pathetic right then, going at it like they could never be satisfied. Oh, but he was satisfying her, in ways she'd never thought a man could satisfy her before. She had never thought she'd had those needs until he'd begun to relieve them.

Or maybe their actions had created new needs in her. She wasn't sure. All she knew was that she was getting herself in too deep. She almost didn't care. After all, he was not only satisfying her, but he was also healing her emotional hurt and depression. She didn't like to admit it, but she felt as though she needed him.

At the same time, however, she feared she was playing him. She knew it wasn't exactly like that, but the matter of the fact was, she had always liked Jaden. Yes, she had feelings for Chazz. Yes, she wanted more than anything to be with Chazz and stay like that forever. But, at the same time, there was this small nagging feeling lingering in the back of her mind, admonishing her of her sinful actions. She quickly pushed the guilt out of her mind.

"We're not going to be able to stop." he told her, burying his face in her breasts.

She stroked his silky black hair, slipping individual spikes between her fingers. "I know."

"We'd better hope you don't get pregnant."

"I won't. Just so long as you get me some birth control by next time."

"I will. I mean, I don't want a kid. I mean, not now. We're way too young. Maybe one day I'll start a family. Hopefully, with you?" His eyes practically begged her.

She laughed nervously. "Well..."

She toyed with his hair, wrapping it around her fingers. She felt more guilt than she'd ever felt, looking into those pleading, innocent onyx eyes of his.

"I don't know. We'll see." She found herself telling him.

She patted him on the head, and pressed his face against her heart. He closed his eyes, listening to the rapid beating of her heart. He nuzzled his cheek against her breast, and embraced her closer.

"I really want to marry you."

She blushed, yet was startled by his statement. What guy would want to marry a girl and support her if he could get what he wanted with no commitment and no obligations? It made little sense to her. Nevertheless, she was flattered--and impressed.

"Why?" she asked, pretending as though it was of little importance.

"Because...I love you."

She looked down at the youngest Princeton, sympathy in her golden brown eyes. She would have to tell him how she felt. She would have to be honest with him. Only, she hoped she wouldn't break his heart.

"Chazz, I'm confused."

"How so?"

She ran her fingers through his hair, feeling anxious. He gently bit her breast, then gave it a tiny kiss. This gesture sent shivers up and down her spine. She shoved closer against his thin, toned body.

"I want to be with you," she admitted, "but at the same time, I don't. I want to keep doing this; I feel like I should, like I owe you. But at the same time, I feel like I belong to Jaden. I don't want to belong to anyone, exactly, I-I- just...I don't know. Never mind."

He gazed up into her eyes, worried. She avoided eye contact, feeling ashamed again. She felt cold and lonely, even though she was engulfed in his strong, warm arms. She pulled him up so that they were level with one another again. Cuddling against him, she pushed her head under his chin, feeling his warm pulse against her nose. She felt him breathing softly, his face in her hair, his lips pressing her temple in a gentle kiss.

Just as it seemed like they were becoming all the more intimate, going from passionate to gentle and easy, there was a sharp knock on the door.

Alexis jumped, and clung to Chazz.

"What do you want?" Chazz snapped, irritated about being interrupted.

Alexis was amazed at how normal he sounded, when just a few seconds earlier, his voice had been strained into a hoarse, almost whiny, whisper.

"It's me." came Zane's voice.

"What do you want?" Chazz barked, repeating his previous statement. He sounded vicious.

"Calm down." Zane said coolly, "I just want to talk to you about Alexis."

Chazz and Alexis exchanged a glance, still lying in a compromising position.

"I'm trying to sleep, mind you." Chazz snapped. He sounded angry, but his expression was panicked.

"Look, it won't take long. I just need some information..."

"What makes you think I'd know?"

Zane sighed in exasperation. "Because you're the one always hiding and eavesdropping on people's conversations. You know most anything that goes on here."

"Watch it, buddy, I'm not a gossip. And I don't eavesdrop. I just sit around, minding my own business, and here comes the world spilling their secrets at my feet. It's not my fault they're loose in the lips."

"Well, still," Zane began to sound annoyed, "did you know...wait. I can't say it in the hall. Someone might be listening. I need to come in."

"Go ask Atticus." It was clear he was beginning to lose his cool.

Alexis' expression softened, hearing her brother's name. Remembering the trouble he was in, she snuggled closer to Chazz and sniffed. His muscles tensed as well and he trembled in anxiety. He sure could be dramatic. A little too much for her taste. She figured one day he'd die of a heart attack due to his apprehension.

"I can't ask Atticus. He's on her side. I mean, he's beating people up for her sake. Now, Chazz," here he sighed heavily and tiredly, "please let me in."

"No."

"Why are you so determined to not let me in? Are you doing something bad in there?"

"No," his voice faltered, "I'm just...tired. So go away."

"Chazz, open this door right now." The doorknob twisted. Thankfully, it was locked.

"Oh, shit." Chazz hissed, watching with apprehension as the doorknob kept turning.

Alexis stiffened under Chazz. If he caught them, they'd be expelled. He'd surely tell on them.

Seeing that the door wouldn't open, he finally gave up. "Ok, I'll talk to you later."

Hearing his footsteps echoing in the hall, Chazz and Alexis breathed in a sigh of relief. Both were trembling and hanging on to each other for dear life, their eyes wide.

Chazz laughed nervously. "That was close."
"Sure was."

They quickly finished. He slid off of her, relieved yet also disappointed.

"I'd better go." Alexis whispered, holding the covers up over her breasts, "I mean, before he decides to come back. Or go to my room."

Chazz nodded. "I wish you could stay..."
"I know. I'll see you tomorrow, 'k?"
"Ok."

He put his finger under her chin, and kissed her lips. She kissed him back, and gave him a hug, blushing feeling bare skin against bare skin.

After dressing, she peered out the door and looked both ways. Seeing the hall was empty, she darted out. She held her boots and walked silently, taking care not to make any noise. To her horror, she saw Zane standing at his door, his back turned to her. Immediately, she took notice of his attire. Why was he wearing so much black? Was he upset? Heart thumping, she froze. After all, she couldn't let him see her. If he did, he would know immediately what had been going on. It had been far too clear that Chazz was up to no good. She could've died.

She whipped her head around, looking for an escape. There was none. Zane started to turn around. There was no place to run, no place to hide. She stood there helplessly.

"Alexis? What are you doing here?"

"I came...to see you..." she quickly improvised.

"Why are you holding you boots?"

"I didn't want Crowler to catch me. He might expel me. Or do other things to me. But then again, he's gay, so no need to worry, huh?" she babbled. She mentally slapped herself at how cheesy she sounded.

Zane raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "Uh-huh. Well, never mind that. Say, what's that?"

He took her chin in his hands. She squeezed her eyes shut, mentally cursing Chazz. He examined the red marks on her neck and ear.

"What happened?"

"I ran into a tree branch on my way here. You know how dark it is out there." She was surprised at how convincing she sounded now. A strange, and creepy, sense of calm washed over her.

"Oh. Ok...Alexis, can I talk to you?"

"About what?"

"The latest 'photo.'"

"Zane!" she said in horror, "You look at those?"
He looked embarrassed. "I just needed to see if the rumors were true. But this last one tells me that someone's pulling your leg."

"Which one?"

"I have no clue how Kabichan16 did it, but she put up a picture of you and me having sex."

She stared at him.

"And I know that didn't happen. So, the others mustn't be true, either. I'm sorry for doubting you, Alexis."

She just nodded. Then, decided it was safe to bring up the question of his attire. "Zane, what's up with your new clothes?"
"Oh." his expression suddenly became gloomy. "It's nothing."

"No, tell me why you're dressed like an emo." she demanded boldly.

"No reason. Just mind your own business, Alexis."

She was surprised at how cold his tone was, and the angry, indifferent manner in which he looked down upon her.

"Alexis, I will respect you. However..." he paused for a moment, challenging her to defy him. "...However," he continued, "I am not obliged to let you know what goes on in my life. You see, you're like my little sister. I love you, but I expect you to give me my space."

"That doesn't sound like something the Zane I know would say." she challenged.

"Mark my words," he told her, grabbing her gently around the throat, his voice holding an eerie calm, "if you try to interfere in my affairs, I will make certain that you're sorry. Do we have an understanding?"
She gulped, and nodded, "I understand, Zane. But you don't have to be so harsh on me. I would've backed down had you simply asked me to. There's no need to threaten me."

"You could never understand entirely." he informed her, a cold, uncaring smirk curving wickedly on his lips. "So just keep your distance, and we'll be fine. Ok?"
She nodded, confused. He let her go, then stormed down the hall, his black trench coat flowing dramatically behind him. She watched as he disappeared into the night, concerned.

Dawn would bring the beginning of a new power. Hell Kaiser was rising, yet nobody except Alexis knew. Nothing could prepare Duel Academy for the evil that was to come.


A/N: Oooo, cliffhanger. Just as I said, I know I'm mixing seasons and Japanese and dub, but I wanted to. I'm not ignorant about Yu-Gi-Oh. I have every episode of season 2 and season 3 thus far, and I'm buying all the DVDs for season 1. I know what happens when. But I only watch the dub, so please don't give any spoilers away to me. I hear about Japanese stuff, and I wanna watch the Japanese version, but I don't have time. Anyway, I didn't know what else to call Zane other than Hell Kaiser. Oh well.

Next time: (Ok, this time Jaden WILL start to wonder if something is going on between Chazz and Alexis) Jaden stumbles upon Chazz and Alexis in a heated moment in the classroom. Someone goes missing, and everyone forms a search party. But then, something happens to Alexis. Will she be able to be saved?
