Chapter 4: Jealousy and Offers

Back at Duel Academy

Andrew Kaiba, strutted through the halls of Duel Academy with his two cronies not far behind him. Ever since the

incident with Darren Muto he tried to be the best at everything. He wasn't sure why he'd seen this guy and hated him

so much. It could be because he was getting attention for something that only there because of his father. Or it could

be that he'd hated the Muto's because Yugi had defeated Seto more than once. Whatever it was, Andrew despised it

and therefore despised Darren. Although he didn't like to admit it he was jealous. Andrew was angry just thinking about it.

"Hey Andrew," Jayden came up, blocking his way. He had a nervous smile on his face.

"What do you want slacker?" Andrew snapped.

"Well…uh if it's not too much trouble, I'd kinda like one of those new KaibaCorp duel disks please."

"Forget it! Slifer slime!" Andrew roared. "You're not gonna get squat from me!" He grabbed Jayden by the collar.

The two cronies nodded in agreement.

"Hey let him go, he just asked a question," Syrus Truesdale spoke up.

"You interfere with a Kaiba and you're next!" thundered a crony.

Syrus backed away. He was scared, the crony was a lot taller than him and what Jayden was going through didn't

seem like a lot of fun.

"He's not wrong, you know," said a voice from behind. Syrus turned around. It was Alexis Rhodes, followed by Chazz

Princeton. The cronies started to laugh and Andrew tightened his grip.

"Just put him down, you don't have to give him the duel disk, but just put him down," Alexis said firmly.

"Yeah! You heard the lady, put down the Slifer!" Chazz followed.

"Siding with your girlfriend huh?" Andrew grinned. "Oh wait, that's right, she rejected you."

Chazz burned up. He wasn't going to take this, especially from a Kaiba.

"Shut it, you know good, stupid Kaiba! My brothers were right, you're all troublemakers!" Chazz yelled.

Andrew dropped Jayden onto the floor and walked up to Chazz and grabbed his collar.

"Listen you dumb Princeton!" Andrew blew up. "That's absolute bull crap and you know it! You ever bad mouth my

family again and you're as good as a dead man! Understand!"

Andrew threw Chazz across the hall like a bowling ball in an ally. A couple of muffled screams came out. Andrew

didn't wait long after that.

"Come on boys," Andrew walked off. "Let's get out of here."

Andrew said nothing as he continued walking down the halls. His cronies kept quiet for the longest time until one

spoke up after awkward silence.

"Crowler wants to see us," he began. "Do you mind if we…"

"Yeah, go." Andrew said. The two boys rushed off. Andrew wanted to be alone anyway. Of course that's not what he

got. Because as soon as his friends left, Jayden came running up to him.

"Hey Andrew," Jayden was cheerful again.

"If you and your little friends want an apology you can forget it," Andrew gritted his teeth. "I'm not sorry at all."

"Nah," Jayden laughed. "That was pretty fun. You really scared me for a moment there."

"What do you want then?" Andrew asked attempting to be patient.

"You seem like a pretty cool guy… Well at least when you're not borderline psychotic and I was wondering if you

would maybe wanna hang out with us."

"Sorry Jayden," Andrew said, "But I've got my own thing to do .Better things to do. But since you're here what can

you tell me about that Darren kid?"

"Not much," Jayden replied. "Just that he's Yugi's son and he uses a deck similar to his Dad's. He's actually a lot like

his dad."

Andrew nodded and walked off.

A lot like his dad. That was all he needed to know. He'd need to talk to his dad about how to counter that deck. But

for now that would suffice.

Andrew walked down the hall. Nobody paid attention to him but now he didn't mind. As he headed off to his dorm, a

kid in Ra Yellow asked if he'd like to duel. Andrew smiled and shook his head.

"Sorry," he said. "I have a Prince to un –knight."

The Ra had no idea what he was saying but Andrew didn't care. He flipped through the cards in his deck and smiled.

'This shouldn't take too long.' He turned around to see if anyone was about to run up to him but no one was. Soon

Daren Muto would be stripped of his title and Andrew Kaiba would take his place.

'No, this shouldn't take long at all.'
