I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!

(Next chapter up and running and I got to say; I'm pretty proud of myself for how good this turned out (at least that's what I think anyway XD). Also, I think I over did the shipping on this chapter just by a little bit. Oh well, for people that like Fiancéshipping and Stormshipping then I think you're going to love the ending of this. Again thanks for the amazing reviews everyone and I love to hear what you think about this chapter. Enjoy!)

The next day after Jaden and Chazz unfinished duel, the students of Duel Academy were sitting in their first hour class of the morning; normally the students seating chart would be the younger class at the bottom while the older kids were sitting higher up. However, because of the dorm and color thing going on around here, Blues were sitting at the top, Yellows were in the middle and the Reds were at the very bottom of the class. So in other words, Alexis, Masika, and Chazz were at top. Bastion was in the middle and Jaden, Haou, and Syrus were at the bottom.

Jaden was being himself when he was in class…he was trying to sleep it off even before it started. Syrus was already panicking about what teacher they were going to have and as for Haou…the Gentle Darkness king was making his death list of who he was planning to take out while he was here. Crowler and Chazz were at the very top of the list but before he could write down on what their death was going to be, Jaden had woken up and took it from him, getting him a glare from his darker twin.

After a few more minutes, the teacher finally showed up and it turned out to be yes, Doctor-cross dresser-Crowler. As the Blue's Headmaster was walking to the front of the room, he was shooting dagger like glares at the Yuki twins. Haou shot his own glare back at him while Jaden tried his best to ignore him and decided to go back to sleep.

"Alright settle down now, everyone!" Crowler called to the class as he stood in front of the room now. "As some of you know already, I'm Dr. Vellian Crowler and what I'll be teaching you for the year is the different types of cards that we use in Duel Monsters. Now as for a review to the whole class, will someone like to explain the different types of cards?" He scanned the classroom, ignoring the Red students completely and glancing at a few Yellow students until his gazed stopped as his proud Blue students. "How about you, Miss Rhodes?" He asked Alexis.

The first-year female student nodded as she stood up from her seat. "Duel Monsters cards can be grouped into Normal, Effect, Ritual, Fusion, Trap, and Spell cards. Trap cards can be grouped into Normal, Continuous, and Counter traps. Spell cards can be grouped into Normal, Quick-Play, Continuous, Equip, Field, and finally Ritual spells."

Crowler clapped happily since she answered that perfectly. "Perfect! Well done, Alexis! Of course, I expect nothing less from one of my top Obelisks!"

Note to self, take back death list from Jaden and add to it that Crowler is getting thrown in the volcano. Haou thought with a small growl under his breath.

"Yes, Dr. Crowler." Alexis replied to the teacher as she sat back down in her seat.

"Now, who shall we question next?" Crowler wondered out loud as he scanned the room once more until he landed at the Reds again and a twisted grin spread across his face. "You! Syrus Truesdale!" The sound of his voice being yelled across the room made Syrus jump out of his seat in panic. "Explain to the class what a Field Spell is, please."

"Uh…a Field Spell….is the thing…that affects the thing….that is…" Syrus was stammering like crazy as he tried to avert his eyes from the class.

For crying out loud, you watched Jaden and I use them in our duels against Crowler. How brain dead are you? Haou wondered growling under his breath again in annoyance at the bluenette.

"Even per-duelists know the answer to this one, Slifer Slacker!" An Obelisk student taunted causing all the blues, besides Alexis and Masika, to burst out laughing and causing Jaden to wake up from his nap.

"What's going on? Why's everyone laughing?" Jaden whispered to his brother.

"Crowler making Syrus look like a fool and the idiot making us look like even bigger fools;" Haou answered back in a whisper with a small growl at the end.

"The cross-dresser asked your friend what a Field Spell was and Syrus is having a hard time trying to remember." Yubel added in the back of Jaden's mind which made the Elemental HERO duelist frown.

"Wait, I know this one!" Syrus whined but he still didn't have an answer.

"Relax Sy; you totally got this one!" Jaden said trying to calm his friend down so he could think before he glanced over at Crowler and his frown returned to his face. What is Crowler trying to do? Give Syrus a panic attack?

"I think not! Sit down!" Crowler interrupted and Syrus did what he was told without even trying to put up a fight. "Now would someone else kindly tell me the answer? Preferably someone not in red, thank you;" The comment made the Blues, beside Alexis and Masika once again, to start laughing; even some of the Yellows, excluding Bastion, were laughing now too.

"I blew it; I made all the Slifers look bad…" Syrus mumbled depressed.

"You know something, teach?" Syrus turned his attention to Jaden who started speaking to the Blue Headmaster without a hint of fear in his voice. Even Haou was glancing at his brother to see what he was going to say. "You shouldn't be making fun of us Slifers like that. I mean, I'm a Slifer and I beat you in two turns and I wasn't even trying." Jaden then pointed at his brother. "And Haou here beat you in only one turn and he wasn't even trying either too and his a Slifer as well. So if you're going to make fun of us, you're really just making fun of yourself." He laughed.

Crowler took out a handkerchief and started to bite down on it. Haou noticed this and an evil smirked formed on his face. He didn't want to help Syrus but seeing Crowler mad like this made him add to what his brother said; "And since you want your answer so badly; a Field Spell is a spell card that affects the conditions of a duel. Some of them add or subtract Atk and Def points to a monster because of their Type and/or Attribute while others have added extra effects to help a monster out. If you want more then remember back to Jaden and my duels against you where we both kicked your butt with Field Spells." His smirk widen as Crowler pretty much ripped the handkerchief to pieces.

That's it! I won't have these slackers in my school for another second! I'll see to it that their expelled from here permanently! Crowler thought before an evil plan started to form in his head.

….

A few hours later after Crowler's nightmare of a class was over, another class was starting which thankfully was being taught by the Slifer Red Headmaster.

"Alright class, as some of you may already know, my name's Professor Lyman Banner." The teacher greeted. "I specialize in some of the lesser known tactics in the world of dueling, some which might be unnatural to even the most experienced duelists….."

Jaden yawned as he leaned on his folded forearms. Now don't get him wrong, he liked Banner and all, he was just really tired and bored out of his mind at the moment. He was, however, awake enough to smack Haou's arm away when he tried to take back his death list.

"By the way….thanks guys;" Syrus said leaning over to whisper to the Gentle Darkness twins.

Haou ignored him as he was busy rewriting his death list while Jaden glanced over at him and asked, sleepily; "No problem but for what?"

"For sticking up for me!" Syrus said a little bit too loud, making Banner stop his lecture.

Jaden noticed Banner looking in their direction. "Uh oh, I may have to do it again in a second."

"Syrus?" Banner asked making the Slifer stand up from panic from being caught talking in the middle of class.

"Uh yes?" Syrus asked nervously.

"Do me a favor and pick up Pharaoh, would you?"

Syrus blinked a few times from confusion. "Uh Pharaoh?" He questioned.

"Unless you're thinking about minoring as a scratching post." Banner joked making Syrus even more confused until he felt something brush up against his leg, taking him by surprised as he looked down to see the cat from the Slifer welcome dinner was there. People started to laugh at that as Syrus picked up the tabby cat and brought him back to his owner.

"Uh course, that would be his pet." Haou mumbled before he growled at his brother since he took away his death list….again.

…..

Meanwhile in Crowler's offices a few minutes later, the doctor was writing a letter while seating at his desk. He was writing it with a white feather pin and also on his desk was another letter that he finished writing not all too long ago which was folded up and in a envelop, ready to be sent. "How dare those Slifer Slacker Yuki twins make a mockery of me in front of my whole class like that." He grumbled as he folded up the second letter and placed it in an envelope as well. "It'll be the last mistake they ever make." He picked up a mirror and started to place red lipstick on his lips before he kissed the back of both letters. "There, the big kiss off!" He chuckled before he took off out of his office to put his plan into action.

Crowler knew that the Yuki twins had gym this hour so while they were gone, he went into the boys' locker room and started searching through the lockers until he found both Jaden's and Haou's. Crowler grinned like a mad man as he placed both of the letters in both of their lockers before he took off.

However, what the doctor failed to notice was Haou watching him but it's not like he could have seen him even if he tried. Haou was a master of the Gentle Darkness after all so he knew all too well on how to hide even in the smallest of shadows. Now the main question was why was Haou still in the locker room? Easy answer, he went out searching for the source of the dark energy he been feeling but had no luck.

Okay, what's the cross dresser planning now? Haou wondered as he walked over to his locker, opened it and took the envelope out. True be told, Haou was a little creeped out at seeing the lipstick smudge on the seal. Well I'm going to have nightmares for a week and not the good kind. Still, he opened up the envelope and took the letter out before he started to read it.

"From the first moment I met you, I been…in love with you. Meet me tonight at the Obelisk Girl's dorm….love Masika Miller…." As soon as Haou finished reading that, he crashed the letter in his hand. "Lousy freaking cross dressing bastard;" He grumbled before he glance over at his brother's locker. "And Jaden must have gotten one too…" He sighed and as he was about to open his younger twin's locker, he stopped when he heard someone coming and he faded back into the darkness.

The person turned out to be Syrus who was mumbling something about the girls' gym as he headed to his locker; the very same locker that Crowler just placed the second envelope in.

As soon as he opened the locker, the first thing he noticed was that Jaden's shoes were in there. "I see he's still using my locker." The boy mumbled as he took the shoes out and the envelope fell out as well. It took a few seconds until Syrus noticed it but when he did, his eyes widing.

Crap, Haou thought facepalming but he didn't make a move out of his darkness that was hiding him.

"But this isn't Jaden's!" Syrus exclaimed as he picked up the envelope and went to one of the back corners. He opened it to find a letter inside. "Someone wrote me a letter? I wonder who's it from? From the first moment I met you, I been…in love with you?! Meet me at the girl's dorm tonight love….Alexis Rhodes?!" Syrus took a few steps back before he fell over on his butt. "This is way better then what my mom writes me!" He then started to daydream about him and Alexis getting together, a large blush spread across his face before he stood up and took off.

As soon as he was gone, Haou reappeared. "Son of a bitch," He cursed before he shook his head. "Well not my problem now;" He said with a shrug, not really caring what happened to Syrus from this but he only knew it was going to end badly.

…..

Later that night, Syrus was in a boat, rowing over to the girls' dorm, grinning like a fool as he thought about what was going to happened tonight. He felt like the luckiest guy on earth as he said; "Alexis, I'm coming for you, my darling, I'm coming!"

However, unknown to him and to all the girls in the dorm, Crowler was hiding in the bushes, dressed in a sheath black suit, waiting for Jaden and Haou to show up. This will be perfect; thanks to those phony love letters I wrote! Crowler thought smirking as he went over his plan in his mind while he held onto a camera. Jaden and Haou will show up looking for Alexis and Masika but all their find will be trouble instead. Once they arrive, I'll snap a picture of them! And then, I'll caught them red handed for breaking campus rules! They'll will be ruined and then expelled!

Meanwhile, inside the hot springs part of the Obelisk Blue girls' dorm, Alexis and her friends, Jasmine and Mindy, were enjoying the nice cool heat from the spring. Masika was also with them but she was sitting on the edge with just her feet in the water. All four girls were dressed in blue one-piece swimsuits.

"Can you believe what that Jaden kid said to Dr. Crowler in class today?" Jasmine said to the other three girls. "He's got some nerve to talk to a teacher like that. That was completely disrespectfully!"

"At least when Haou did it, he made it look cool." Mindy added before she started squealing. "Oh man, Jaden might have looks but his so childish while Haou has looks and his dark too! I just wish he wouldn't wear those sunglasses all the time. Sure it makes him look cool and even hotter but I just once want to see his eyes. I wonder if there brown like Jaden's? Oh who cares; just as long as I get him as a boyfriend before this year's over, I'll be happy!"

Masika lowered her head at that as she stared at the water. "Look's aren't everything, Mindy." She mumbled but the girl was too busy acting like a fan girl to listen. Truth be told, Masika could be very happy and upbeat at times but sometimes she could be very shy around people. You could say she had a bit of a split personality.

Alexis glanced over at Masika since she did hear what she just said. She does like Haou but she doesn't want to start a fight with Mindy about him. She thought before she looked back over at Jasmine and replied; "Well, I thought Jaden was being pretty cool himself by sticking up for his friend like that and to someone like Crowler too; that was pretty brave."

"What?! Him cool and brave?!" Jasmine couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Well if you think about it; Jaden could be as cool as his brother if he had talent to back up that talk maybe." Mindy pointed out.

"…..I think he just might." Alexis replied thinking back to how Jaden almost beat Chazz in their little off hour duel last night if he was just given a little bit more time. "Still, I won't know until I duel him myself."

Back outside, Crowler had just heard someone coming and was watching from a hole in the bush. "Come twins; right into my trap like the Slifer Slacker fools you are." But he quickly saw his plan go downhill as a different Slifer enter the girls' campus.

"Alexis!" Syrus called causing the she-male Obelisk Blue Headmaster's eyes to bug out.

"That's not Jaden or Haou! It's that Field Spell nitwit!" Crowler shouted a little too loudly which got him some unwanted attention.

"What's a boy doing here?!" A girl cried out, alerting the other girls that were still awake.

"I'm not a boy; I'm a man…." Crowler corrected before he covered his mouth and jumped into the water to escape. But it wasn't him that the girls really saw; it was poor little Syrus who was easily taken down and tied up for questioning by the four main leaders of the girls' dorm.

….

"A love letter from Alexis?" Mindy asked after her, Jasmine, Masika, and Alexis herself heard Syrus's explanation as to why he was here. All four girls were dressed in their school uniforms once more. "You've got to be kidding!"

"Yep, ask her." Syrus said winking at Alexis who was mentally rolling her eyes right now. Masika was giggling since she found all of this kinda cute and sweet in a way even if Syrus was being a total pervert at the moment for just being here.

"Uh hello…." Jasmine retorted. "Alexis is really tall and you're really short. She's really good at dueling and you're really not. She's really hot and…"

"But it's true! Just tell them, Alexis! I even have the note right here!" Even with his hands tied, Syrus was able to pull out the letter and hand it to them. "See?"

Alexis took the note and she and the other three girls looked over it. Alexis narrowed her eyes when she finished reading it. "Syrus, my name's not even spelled right."

"Sorry Syrus but I think someone's pulling your chain here." Mindy added.

"So then, you don't love me?" Syrus asked frowning. This wasn't his day today.

"Hey wait a second!" Jasmine interrupted as she looked closer at the letter. "This note is made out to Jaden Yuki!" Just to prove her point, she pointed it out to the small bluenette boy making him even more disappoint then he was already from all of this.

"So I can't even get a fake love letter?" Syrus sighed. "Why am I not all that surprised anymore?"

"I'm sorry that all of this happened to you, Syrus." Masika told him, honesty. "Whoever played this mean trick should be the one to get in trouble for all of this."

"I don't buy it. He could've written the note just as an excuse to come here." Jasmine pointed out.

"So what are you saying? We should turn him in then?" Mindy asked, freaking Syrus out.

"He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, guys. He was played." Masika said trying to defend the little guy.

"Girls just what is going on down there?" The four females looked up to see Miss Fontaine looking over the balcony at them.

The four panicked before Alexis told them to get down. Syrus's eyes bug out when Jasmine and Mindy sat on top of him while Alexis and Masika did their best to block the rest of the view of him.

Miss Fountain could already tell something was wrong. "Alright, what's up?"

"You guys are heavy!" Syrus told the two girls who just sent glares his way.

"Sorry about the noise, Miss Fontaine. We'll be sure to keep the noise down." Alexis told the female Headmistress and Masika nodded to that.

"Well I hope so; it's nearly midnight! And I have Pilates in the morning." Miss Fontaine said before she started heading back to her room and once the four girls made sure that she was gone, Mindy and Jasmine got off Syrus who had a small blush on his face. It wasn't every day that a girl, let along two of them, would sit on him even if it was just to hide him.

"So what now?" Jasmine asked.

Alexis thought about it before a smirk formed on her face. "I'll tell you what now, girls. I say we use Sy here as some kind of bait…to find out about what we were wondering about before." She glanced over at Masika. "You said Haou beat you in a duel….so let's see if Jaden can beat me in one where the stakes are for real."

….

Back at the Slifer Red dorm, Jaden and Haou were both just enjoying the night as they were just talking to each other. In other news, they were both sitting on top of the Slifer dorm's roof. How they got up there or how the roof hasn't collapsed just from their added weight wasn't important at the moment.

So after a while of Jaden talking about nothing other than the future duels he planned on having here at the Academy; he stopped himself when he noticed Haou wasn't paying a least bit of attention to what he was saying. Sure Jaden was used to this by now but he at least got a nod from time to time from Haou to show he was kinda listening. Instead, his older twin was staring down at a piece of paper that was folded up into a ball. "What's with the paper, bro?" Jaden questioned before he frowned. "Please tell me you're not thinking about making another death list because I already had Flame Wingman burn the first two and I don't think he wants to burn a third one."

"That's not it, Jaden." Haou replied as he was wondering whether or not to show his brother the fake love letter or not but Jaden answered that question for him as he took the note right out of his hand.

Haou glanced over at him as Jaden unrolled the letter out of its ball form and started to read it. The younger twin of the Gentle Darkness eyes widen after he finished before he fell over onto his back and started laughing.

"Shut up, will you? Are you trying to wake up the whole school?" Haou asked in a growl before he turned his head away.

"Sorry…but oh my god…." Jaden said in between breaths since he was laughing that hard. "Now this is….blackmail gold."

"Jaden, it's fake." Haou told him which made Jaden stop his crying fit of laugher. "I saw Crowler put these in our lockers just so we would go to the girls' dorm where my guess he's waiting for us just so he can take a picture and then get us kicked off the island."

Jaden sat back up after hearing all of that. "So wait…if Crowler made a fake love letter for me then where is it?"

Before Haou could answer, Jaden's PDA, which was in his jacket pocket, started beeping which meant he got a message from someone. Jaden raised an eyebrow at this as he took the PDA out of his pocket and played the message since he was wondering who send him one so late.

"We have your roommate, Syrus. If you want him back, come to the Girls' Obelisk Blue dorm now." The message ended making Jaden's eyes widen while Haou chuckled, darkly.

"Wow, I knew your friend was stupid but this is taking it to a whole new level." Haou said while Jaden just looked at him. "And before you say anything, yes, I knew Syrus had that second fake love letter and no, I didn't try to stop him." Before Jaden could even yell at him for that, Haou continued. "Yeah I know I'm a selfish jerk but I'm not his keeper. Taking care of you is already a full time job and I don't even get paid for it."

"We are so having a talk about this after I rescue Syrus." Jaden told him before he jumped off the roof and landed on the ground without even so much as a broken bone. Jaden glanced back up at Haou with Yubel's eyes before they changed to brown then he took off to the girls' dorm.

Haou rolled his eyes after his brother left. "It's funny what can make him go serious." He mumbled as he stood up. Well since his not breathing down my neck; I might as well continue looking for that dark energy source. He thought with a smirk.

…..

A few minutes later, Jaden was rowing a boat over to the Girls' dorm. When he finally got there, he got off the boat to stand a few feet away from Alexis, Masika, and two other female Obelisk that he didn't know who were holding a gloomy Syrus with them.

"Hi Jay," Syrus said to his friend, sounding just as gloomy as he looked.

"Hey, so care to tell me what's going on here?" Jaden asked even though he already could've guessed what the answer was going to be from the info he got from Haou.

"Well to make a long story short, I'm a complete loser." Syrus answered looking at the ground in shame.

"You're friend here trespassed into the girls' campus." Jasmine explained.

"Hey, I told your guys before! It wasn't like that!" Syrus protested.

Mindy ignored his comment as she added. "And now that you're here, Jaden; you're trespassing too!" Jaden frowned since he knew he just walked right into a very clear seen trap.

"Sorry Jaden but I was out voted by them." Masika said with a sigh.

"Its fine, Masika;" Jaden told the bluenette with a smile before he looked at Alexis. "Okay, what do I have to do so Syrus and I can go free?"

"Well I'm reasonable person, Jaden, so I'll make you a deal. If you can beat me in a duel then me and everyone here will pretend that this night never happened but if you lose, then will turn you in." Alexis offered.

"But if you turn us in then will be expelled!" Syrus cried from panic.

Jaden thought about it before a smirk formed on his face. "Don't worry, Syrus, I won't let that happen. Now let's duel, Alexis."

….

After getting two boats set up, Jaden and the group were on them. Alexis and her friends were on the left side one while Jaden and Syrus were both on the right side one getting ready to start their duel.

Just as it was about to start, Crowler resurfaced from where he went underwater. "You try to get two kids kicked out and the whole world turns against you." He growled but when he saw the duel between Jaden and Alexis, he smirked. "Well look what we have here; a Slifer vs an Obelisk. Put him in his place, Alexis."

"Ready?" Alexis asked.

"Oh yeah," Jaden answered as Yubel appeared by his side.

"Duel!" They both yelled as their duel disks turned on and they both drew their five cards.

(Jaden: 4000 Alexis: 4000)

"Alright, let's see." Alexis said starting things off as she drew her sixth card. She added it to her hand before she took another card and placed it in attack mode. "Etoile Cyber, rise!" A red headed ballerina in an orange leotard spun onto the field as she appeared (Atk: 1200 Def: 1600). "And I'm also going to play one card face down." She finished as a face down appeared on her field.

"That monster of hers has only 1200 Atk points. Something's up, Jaden;" Yubel told her partner as he drew.

"Yeah but there's nothing I can do about it now." Jaden replied since he had nothing in his hand that could destroy spell or trap cards. So he decided that the best defense was a good offense. "Well it's time to bring the heat or should I say Elemental HERO Heat in attack mode!"

Appearing on his field in a blast of flames was a warrior with white armor that had fire designs on his crest and shoulders. His arms, legs, and neck had golden armor instead of white and large golden gauntlets with flame decoration on his forearms. He was wearing a white mask but you could still see his glowing green eyes and a red crown like object on top of his head that also had a green gemstone in the middle of it (Atk: 1600-1800 Def: 1200).

"Heat here gains 200 Atk points for each Elemental HERO on the field including himself." Jaden explained before he took another card from his hand. "But I hate for him to be alone on the field so I'm going to play Double Summon so I can bring out his sister, Elemental HERO Lady Heat in attack mode also!"

Appearing beside Heat was what looked to be a female version of him. The heroine was also wearing a white suit that covered almost all her body besides her arms, neck and head. Like Heat, her outfit also had flame designs on it that were around her breast area that went down her right side of her chest to the waist. She had on a golden belt that held up two red pieces that kinda made it look like she was wearing a skirt with golden accents. Her right leg was just like her outfit. It was white with flame designs. Her left leg of her costume was split apart just by a little bit at her upper thigh which showed off some of her skin and the only thing that was connecting that and the rest of her clothing was a golden connector. She was wearing fire red boots and a small orange cape which matched the color of her hair. Her forearms had red gauntlets and she was wearing a kinda like crown that Heat was wearing with a green gem in it also. Plus, just like her brother, she also had shining green eyes (Atk: 1300 Def: 1000).

"And with her on the field, Heat gains another 200 Atk points." Jaden grinned as his first pyro type monster's attack points went up again (Atk: 1800-2000 Def: 1200). "But since I'm a gentleman, I'll let my lady attack you first."

"Oh you're too kind, Jaden." Lady Heat said smirking as two fireballs appeared in her hands before she threw them at Etoile Cyber.

Alexis grew tense as the attack come closer to her monster. "Hold it right there!" She called. "I actived the trap card, Doble Passé!" Just as the fireball attack was about to hit Etoile Cyber, the attacked missed just by an inch and instead hit Alexis.

(Jaden: 4000 Alexis: 2700)

"Okay, I'm all for attacking someone directly but what just happened here?" Lady Heat questioned while Jaden was wondering the same thing also.

"Doble Passé changes your attack on my monster to a direct attack on me." Alexis explained. "And now, my monster that you were about to attack gets to wage a direct attack on you! Oh and one more thing; when Etoile Cyber attacks someone directly, her attack points increase by 600." She added as her monsters points went up just like Heat's did not too long ago (Atk: 1200-1800 Def: 1600).

"Great," Jaden grumbled as the monster danced her way over to him and rounded housed kick him right in the right arm.

"Jaden!" Lady Heat and Yubel cried at the same time as the Gentle Darkness lord dropped down to one knee. Heat just glanced at his master with a worried look. The fire male wasn't really a big speaker.

"Don't worry guys, I'm fine." Jaden told them as he stood back up.

(Jaden: 2200 Alexis: 2700)

"Wow that Alexis is something else; sacrificing her own life points just so she could get to mine." Jaden mumbled. "And I thought Haou and I were the only ones that did that."

"So are you impressed?" Alexis asked which Jaden smirked too.

"Impressed? I think I'm in love." Jaden replied, joking. "I guess it's true what they say; love does hurt."

"Oh you're sweet, Jaden…..too bad I have to crush you." Alexis returned making Masika glance up at her friend with an eyebrow raised.

And you laughed at me when you said I was 'falling for Haou'. Masika thought before another thought came to her as she looked around. Speaking of him, where is he? I thought Haou would at least try to follow his younger brother to make sure he was safe.

…..

However, unknown to all of them, Haou was now standing in the middle of the forest, glancing around with nothing but pure annoyance on his face. "Almost two whole days and still nothing?!" The darkness lord punched a tree out of anger. "This dark energy is powerful but I can't even narrow it down to one area? What kinda bull crap is this?!" Haou then started to walk off to a different area of the island but unknown to him, three shadows were watching him.

…..

Back with everyone else, Jaden was saying something to Alexis.

"Sorry Alexis but the only one that's going to be doing any crushing around here is me. You didn't forget that I still have Heat on the field right?" Jaden nodded to his other fire hero who nodded back before Heat attacked and this time, destroyed Etoile Cyber with his own fireball attack.

(Jaden: 2200 Alexis: 1900)

"And I'll be ending my turn with a face down." Jaden finished as a face down appeared on his side behind Heat.

"Good then I'll…." Before Alexis could finish, two fireballs come flying at her which took away 400 more of her life points.

(Jaden: 2200 Alexis: 1500)

"Hey, what just happened?!" Alexis questioned while Jaden had a sly grin on his face.

"That was Lady Heat's special ability. During the end phase of my turn, she deals 200 points of damage to you for each Elemental HERO that's on my field." Jaden explained while Lady Heat had her own grin on her face.

"You're Elemental HEROES are just full of surprises, huh Jaden?" Alexis replied drawing her next card. "Now where were we?" She looked at the card she just drew and small grin formed on her face. "I play Blade Skater!" A grey skinned woman dressed in purple clothing with ice skates on both of her wrists and feet skated onto the field in attack mode (Atk: 1400 Def: 1500). "Next, I'm going to play the spell card Monster Reborn to bring back my Etoile Cyber in attack mode too!" Her first female monster reappeared, dancing, onto the field.

"Two monsters that together still don't have enough power to take Heat down; the most that she can do at the moment is take out Lady Heat." Yubel got a glare from the said female pyro monster. "I'm just stating the facts here."

"And now, I'm going to play Polymerization to fuse Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater together to form Cyber Blader!" The two monsters swirled together until a new monster with light blue skin, dark long blue hair, an outfit that was red and purple like Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater fused together and she was wearing futuristic glasses over her eyes (Atk: 2100-4200 Def: 800). "When there are only two monsters on your field, her attack points are double." Alexis explained before Jaden could ask why her new monster's power went up so much. "Well Jaden, I'm sorry to say this but your time at the Academy is over! Cyber Blader, attack Lady Heat with Whirlwind Rage!" The new fusion monster went into a spin as she launched toward the Lady of Flames.

"Don't worry, Lady Heat, I'll bring you back next turn." Jaden promised his flame monster as his face down rose up. "I play a trap! Half or Nothing! Here how it works, you get to choose to continue your attack but your monster's attack points are cut in half for this battle phase or you can just end your turn all together. So what you choice, Alexis?"

"Since my Cyber Blader's attack points are just going back to where they started from, I'm choosing to continue my attack!" Alexis answered as her monster was covered in a red aura that made her attack go down (Atk: 4200-2100 Def: 800).

"This is going to hurt." Lady Heat groaned as Cyber Blader continued her spinning attack until suddenly, a foot lashed out and destroyed her.

(Jaden: 1400 Alexis: 1500)

"Sorry Lady Heat," Jaden mumbled before he glanced over at normal Heat to see his attack points going down since an Elemental HERO left the field (Atk: 2000-1800 Def: 1200).

Jasmine and Mindy cheered as Alexis took back the lead.

"Way to go, Alexis!" Mindy exclaimed.

"Yeah, you got him now!" Jasmine added. "I knew when this kid beat Dr. Crowler it was just luck!"

Masika just remind silence. After watching Jaden duel against Chazz, she knew very well that he could make a comeback even against something like this.

"Well it'll be my pleasure to prove you girls wrong. My draw," Jaden said drawing. "I'm playing Card of Sanctity which let us draw until we both have six cards in our hand." Him and Alexis draw their cards and a wide grin appeared on Jaden's face from what he got. "Oh right, perfect." Alexis grew tense again when she heard that. "I'm first going to play Premature Burial. By paying 800 of my life points, I can bring back a monster from my graveyard in attack mode."

(Jaden: 600 Alexis: 1500)

Appearing once again in a burst of flames was Lady Heat who had a pure pissed off look on her face. "Jaden, no offense to you or Haou but I freaking hate the dark." The pyro monster grumbled making Jaden chuckle.

"Yeah, I don't like graveyards either, Lady Heat." Jaden laughed before he took another card from his hand. "Now I'm going to active HERO's Bond! When there's a face up HERO monster on my field, I get to summon out two Elemental HEROES from my hand. So joining Heat and Lady Heat on the field is Elemental HERO Sparkman and Elemental HERO Clayman in attack mode!"

Just like the last time Jaden played this card, two more Elemental HEROES appeared on the field. The first one was in a blue suit with golden thunder bolt designs on it. He had on a golden armor crest piece that was connected to shoulder blades that instead having blades on them; they had orbs that looked to be holding electricity in them. On his back looked to be metal blue and yellow wings and his head looked to be some kind of helmet with TV antennas (Atk: 1600 Def: 1400).

The second HERO was totally different since his whole body was made up of brown clay besides his head which was red and his shoulders and bottom of his feet were a lighter brown color (Atk: 800 Def: 2000).

And since there were now three more HEROES on the field, Heat's attack points went way up (Atk: 1800-2400 Def: 1200).

"Now I know Heat can now destroy your Cyber Blader with ease and have my other monster gain up and take out the rest of your life points but what fun is that now?" Jaden asked looking at his monsters for the answer.

"It won't be any fun. We're just be gaining up on her." Clayman answered.

"We fight for honor not for winning." Sparkman added. "There's no honor by just gaining up on someone."

"Uh hello? That little bitch over there sent me to hell and back! I say take her down now!" Lady Heat rolled her eyes when the three male monsters looked at her, all frowning. "Fine, we're do it you way, Jaden."

Jaden smiled at that as he took a card from his hand and placed it in his field spell zone. "I'm playing my Fusion Gate field spell. With this, I can summon Fusion Monsters without playing a polymerization card and I just happened to have two in made to create. So I'm going to fuse Heat and Lady Heat and then Sparkman and Clayman together to summon out Elemental HERO Inferno and Elemental HERO Thunder Giant!"

Both sets of monsters jumped into the air before they swirled together until two different fusion monsters formed onto the field which caused the boats that the groups with in to start rocking like crazy and Crowler too from the force of the fusion summon.

The first fusion, that of Heat and Lady Heat, was wearing white armor which again was covered in flame designs from his wrist down. He was wearing long white boots that went to his knees that had spikes coming out of the top. His crest was all orange fire color with a hole right in the middle to show that there was magma inside him. He had four long red spikes on each of his shoulder blades and looked to be wearing a spiked crown on top of his head. He had green eyes like Heat and Lady Heat and his hands were made up of magma too (Atk: 2300 Def: 1600).

The second fusion monster that was made from Sparkman and Clayman was a giant as from where his name came from. He was wearing purple pants while his top half was in yellow armor with a orb in the middle to show it was holding electricity just like Sparkman's was. He also had two of them on the back of his hands and was wearing a blue and white visor over his head (Atk: 2400 Def: 1500).

Alexis raised an eyebrow at all of this. "I don't know what you were trying to do, Jaden, but since you have only two monsters on your field again; Cyber Blader's attack points double once more." (Atk: 2100-4200 Def: 800) "Now both of your monsters aren't strong enough to take her down."

"Yeah I know, I know," Jaden said waving a hand dismissively at that little fact. "But I should tell you about Thunder Giant's ability. He can destroy any monster whose original ATK are less than his own."

"Wait, original attack points?"

"That's right, attack point without any kind of enhancement or ability."

"But….before her special ability kicked in, her attack points were only 2100." Alexis got a small look of panic on her face.

Jaden smirked. "Exactly and that's lower than my Thunder Giant's so that mean you're Cyber Blader is automatically destroyed. Thunder Giant; show her how you got your name."

"Gladly, my lord;" Thunder Giant replied as he held out a hand to fire bolts of lightning that danced around Cyber Blader before it destroyed her.

"And let's not leave Inferno out of the action; attack Alexis direct with Inferno Blaze Burn!" Jaden command his second monster.

"As Jaden's brother likes to say before he finishes a duel; burn." Inferno said as two magma fireballs appeared in his hands before he threw them at Alexis.

Alexis gasped as she tried her best to block the fireball attack but she still groaned as she dropped down to one knee as her life points dropped to zero.

(Jaden: 600 Alexis: 0)

Jasmine and Mindy were stunned, not sure what they just saw really happened while Syrus cheered for Jaden and even Masika was smiling since she was happy that one of the only people that didn't think she was a clumsy freak wasn't leaving the island anytime soon.

"And that's game." Jaden said doing his signature victory post. "Thanks for the sweet duel, Lex."

Alexis blinked at that as she looked at him. "Lex?"

"What? You don't like the nickname?" Jaden questioned.

"No…it's just…." Alexis just smiled as she stood up. "It's nothing; thanks."

Masika giggled as she watched this. Now who's the one with a crush?

…..

After the duel was over, both boats were pulled up to each other so that they were side by side; both groups were facing each other as they talked.

"Well a deal is a deal." Jaden told the four girls. "I won so we get off free."

"Alright guys, I won't back out. We're keep quiet about what happened tonight." Alexis agreed.

"Well if you ask me; I think we should turn both of them in right now." Jasmine remarked.

"Well no one asked you." Alexis retorted.

"But Alexis…."

"Jaden beat me fair and square in the duel and that's all there is to it." Alexis told her.

"No there's more to it than that. It was close." Jaden said with a smirk which made Alexis look back at him. "Yeah you got game."

"Huh?" Alexis said slightly confused with a small faded pink blush on her face.

"Oh and before I forget;" Jaden turned to Masika as he took out an envelope from his jacket pocket and handed it to her. "Here, Haou wanted to give this to you but since he's in trouble with me at the moment; I thought I give it to you instead."

Masika blinked at that as she took the envelope from him.

"Well catch you girls later." Jaden said waving bye to them before he started rowing the boat home while Syrus stared at him with a confused look on his face.

Alexis watched them go as a small smile started to form on her face. Even if I did win, I could never have turned those two in. This place is a lot more fun with them then without.

I never have seen Alexis act this way before. Jasmine thought looking at their leader. I wonder….is she actually falling for that Slifer?

Meanwhile, Masika was opening up the envelope and the first thing she found inside was a Queen of the Night Tulip. Masika knew she had to be blushing as she took the flower out of the envelope and stared at it. After moving it around with her fingers to get better angles of it, she noticed that there was a note card attached to it. She slowly opened it up and started to read it.

Getting black flowers is usually a negative romantic message; getting one, however, means a powerful romantic gesture with a hint of mystery.

Masika had a feeling Jaden added the note card to the flower since Haou didn't act like the type of person to say romantic or even write it. The black flower, however, fit him perfectly.

….

"Haou going to kill you, Jaden." Yubel told her soul partner as he was changing into his pajamas.

It didn't take long for Jaden and Syrus to make it back to the Slifer dorm since the dorms were all close together. As soon as they got back, Syrus pretty much collapsed onto his bed and Jaden couldn't blame him. The poor guy went thought a lot today.

"He's only going to kill me if he finds out that I made a fake love letter to Masika and said it was from him. Besides, I was only trying to help him. I know he likes her even if his two stubborn to admit it." Jaden replied as he sat down on the edge of his bed, looking over at Yubel who was leaning against the wall with her arm crossed over her chest.

Yubel sighed at this. "I know you were, Jaden, but this is Haou. He rather stab himself in the chest then to tell someone he has feelings for them."

"Hey who knows, Yubel? Maybe Masika might be able to break him out of his shell." Jaden pointed out with a smile. And hopefully get him to move on. He thought that last part.
