What? What's this? Two chapters in a row?! Is it my birthday?

No, that's in October. But I did manage to finish this chapter recently but it gave me so much trouble. I actually had the last chapter all done and ready to post but I wanted to post this with it. Then life happened and now I'm in Florida with zero WiFi and have to use my phone's hotspot.

I hate Florida.

Sorry to those of you who read this and live in Florida. But I'm a city girl, and I Florida has most of the things I hate.

Bugs, heat, humidity, the beach, and way to much sun.

And I'm stuck here for the next three weeks, so I can't get the next chapter done until I go back home.

Sorry again you native Floridians.

Disclaimer: I only own Kaida and some of her deck.


Chapter 4: Reunion...kinda

I was hiding in the kitchen as the Slifer students filled in for dinner. I told Banner that I wanted to surprise Jaden as the boy didn't know I was transferring here.

The plan was that Banner would give a speech about the punishment duel and how he was proud of Syrus and Jaden, then he would go into introducing me.

"...Now, I have an announcement. Earlier a new student had arrived right before the Punishment Duel. At her request she will be staying here and not be automatically transferred to the Obelisk's Girls Dorm."

Whispers broke out.

"New student?"

"A girl?"

"Why here?"

"I wonder why she chose this dorm."

Banner continued. "As this dorm is mostly males, she will be rooming alone unless another female student joins Slifer. Now I would like to introduce you all to Miss Kaida Yuki."

I walked out from the kitchen as someone started chocking. A small smile graced my face when I saw it was Jaden who was turning blue. Syrus patted his back while Chumley gave him a glass of water. My brother gulped it down and breathed in relief.

"Are you alright Jay?" I asked, my amusement growing.

"I'm fine..." He rasped out.

"Well Kaida, why don't you sit with your brother and his friends?" Banner said.

I nodded and took the seat across from Syrus and next to Chumley. "Now let's eat, or in Jaden's case, seconds."

"So Kai, what are you doing here?" Jaden asked, sweating a bit.

"I started school here, obviously. I look forward to this year with all of you."

"Hey you're that girl that was with my brother!" Syrus realized. "At the Duel..."

"That's right, by the way congrats on winning. Zane may not show it but he was proud of you, Sy."

"You really think so?" Poor kid looked so hopeful.

"I really do."

Jaden opened his mouth to say something, but I shut him up by shoving a piece fried shrimp from my plate into his mouth. "Less talking, more eating."


After dinner, I went back to my room after I told Jaden to meet me here in half an hour. I opened my laptop to video-conference with Dad, but he was in the middle of something and transferred me to Uncle Mokuba.

"So how did it go?" Uncle Mokuba asked.

"Well. The two students won and get to stay at school. From what I found out, the teacher is Dr. Vermilion Crowler the head of the Obelisk Blue Boy's Dorm. He was defeated by an applicant at the entrance duel who then got accepted into Slifer. Since then Crowler has had it out for said student and had done almost every effort to have him expelled." I reported leaning back in my chair, arms and legs crossed.

"That's not good. Who were the students?"

"Slifer Reds Syrus Truesdale and Jaden Yuki. The latter being the student who beat Crowler." I told him. "Hey is Mom there?"

"You're in luck, she just walked in. Serenity, it's Kai." Uncle was replaced with my mother, Serenity Kaiba née Wheeler.

"Kaida honey! How are you?" She asked, her smile bright. "How was your day? Did you make any friends?"

"Hey Mom. I'm good,a little jet lagged but good. My day was fine, I got to see the Paradox Brothers get their buts handed to them by Slifer students. I made a couple at dinner I think. Zane's brother Syrus and his roommate Chumley."

"That's good to hear. I hope you make more and tell me all about them when you do, okay?"

I smiled at the happy woman. "Will do, Mom. Hey I've got something important to tell you guys, think Dad can spare a few minutes to talk?"

Mom disappeared from the screen and Uncle Mokuba moved to the side with a strained smile. My father- in his office chair- was pushed into frame with Mom standing behind him, a victorious smile on her face while Dad had a disgruntled look on his face.

"Make it fast." Dad ordered. "I'm very busy."

I rolled my eyes. "Right now it's a lot more important then the company." I said as someone knocked on my door.

"Come in!" The door opened, revealing Jaden.

"Who is that?" Mom asked.

"The important thing." I told them, as Jay came up behind me.

"Hey guys..."

The shock and happiness was obvious on their faces, even the ever stoic Seto Kaiba. Mom had tears in her wide brown eyes, a relieved and happy smile on her lips. Uncle Mokuba was grinning and Dad's features softened in relief.

"According to Zane, Jaden has been here since the year started under the name Yuki. I have taken up the name as well, I've already spoken to Chancellor Shepard about the name and he's agreed to add it to my file." I told them.

"When I snuck out, I ran straight to the entrance duel location. I'm sorry for worrying everyone and for running away but I was tired of being this big secret. I get that people would use us against you Dad but all I've ever wanted was to be normal even for a little bit. I know you probably had your heart set on me being your heir but I'm not cut out for that kind of stuff. Kaida is much better qualified." Jaden said.

Dad took in a small breath. "I'm just glad you're safe. As much as I hate to admit it, I feel a little foolish for not realizing you were hiding right under my nose. I always knew you never had the ability to be part of the cutthroat corporation world your sister had and I was alright with that. But I never saw what protecting you both was actually suffocating you, causing you both to rebel. I apologize for that." Dad said, bowing his head at the last part.

Jaden and I looked at each other in shock.

Dad apologized?

Admitted to our faces he was wrong?

"Who are you and what have you done to our father?" We asked in unison, looking back at him.

We got glared at.

Yep that was our Dad alright.

"I'm sorry too, you guys. I should have talked to you instead of running away. So we're both at fault here Dad." Jaden said. "Would it be okay to still go to school here? No one knows that I'm a Kaiba since I've been using the name 'Yuki' and Kaida is the only other person here who knows otherwise."

"That's not true. Zane knows and so does Shepherd." I told him.

"What? The Chancellor I understand, what with you here, but Zane? How does he know?"

"You remember those two guy friends of mine from when we were kids?"

"Yeah..."

"Zane is one of them. He recognized you but wasn't 100% sure it was you until your duel with him a few days ago. You're the only one who really uses a HERO deck." I explained.

Jaden looked up in thought. "Huh. I wondered why he looked so familiar."

I just sighed.

Oh Jaden.

"Anyway, Jaden and Syrus managed to defeat the Paradox Brothers with 200 LPs out of 8000 LPs. They defeated Gate Guardian but had a much more powerful monster by the name of Dark Guardian. This thing had 3800 attack and defense points and couldn't be destroyed in battle. The boys managed to win by the use of Power Bond that combined Elemental Hero Tempest and Syrus' UFOroid to make UFOroid Fighter. Fighter had a combined total of 4000 attack and defense points making him only slightly more stronger than Dark Guardian. But thanks to Power Bonds second effect, that was doubled to 8000 attack points. And thus making the Slifers, the winners of the duel." I reported.

"Good. Where are the Brothers now?" Dad asked.

"No clue. My guess is that Dr. Crowler put them on the next boat out of here right after they were defeated." I said. I looked at my brother. "Did you see anything?"

He shook his head. "No I was to busy trying to figure out hie to write that punishment book." I rolled my eyes.

"'Punishment Book'?" Our family asked.

"In addition to the punishment duel, Shepard is making the boys write a 5 page paper on what they learned by dueling the Paradox brothers and why trespassing in the abandoned dorm was wrong. But since Jaden opened his big mouth, they now have to write 10 pages. Single spaced." I explained with a kinda smug grin.

"Ouch." Uncle winched.

"I know." Jaden sighed.

"I'll make sure he gets it done. I'll call agin soon with more news."

"Okay sweetie! I love you both, and you better comeback home Jaden." Mom said.

"Will do Mom. Love you guys."

"Keep an eye out on Crowler. I don't want him to do anything that will give the school a bad name." Dad said. "Report anything new that you see."

"You got it."

"Bye you two. Be safe." Uncle waved.

"We will." And the screen turned black.

"Well that wasn't so bad." Jaden said, hands behind his head and a grin on his face.

"Yeah but that's because I haven't gotten my hands on you yet." I said, smirking at his pale face. "But don't worry. I thing the essay is more than enough, but if you ever do that again I'll feed you Blue-eyes. Got it?"

"Got it..."


XD poor Jaden. Kaida is going to kill him when he runs away in season 2.

So tell me what you think. Sorry about the no updates thing.

Life happened.

Also tell me who Kaida should duel during the Shadow Rides arc. I'm already doing Camula but should she battle anyone else? Also should I include little mini-arcs for the times in between season that are mainly Kaida and Jesse-centric (how they met, how they interact, when they get together, meeting the ex, etc.) as part of the main story or as a companion story?

Let me know!

I love you all! Please review!
