Chapter 4: Awkwardness

The class seemed to go smooth after that incident, with Izual and Jasmine avoiding glances.

"…in conclusion, that's why purple lipstick is better than red, as well why Fusion Gate is more efficient that Polymerization, in most cases." said Dr. Crowler as he finished his lecture. "You are all dismissed." Izual stood up and as Jasmine was about to say something he blended in with the sea of students leaving the room. Izual sigh, but then realized the mistake he had made. He had no idea where he was going. He merely walked in the waves of students as they exited. He walked through courtyard, wondering where to go till he noticed Jaden, Syrus and Christy apparently playing some sort of game. It looked like Jaden was throwing a small box over Christy to Syrus. Christy seemed to follow the box as Syrus caught it, who threw it back at the Jaden.

"This is harder than I thought…" said Christy as she jumped high to try and get the box but couldn't.

"That's monkey in the middle for ya." said Jaden as he threw it over Christy's head again.

"Grr…" said Christy as she prepared herself. Syrus smiled as he readied himself to throw, but this time difference.

"Down low, Jay!" shouted Syrus as he threw the box, aiming under Christy's leg. Christy moved quickly and bend over catch it. Jaden turned red as he saw under her skirt. Syrus noticed Jaden's blushing, and noticed Christy's confused faced, he tried to mouthed "stop blushing" to Jaden, while Izual observed it all. He smiled a bit. He walked to Christy offered her a hand.

"Need some help?" asked Izual. Christy smiled as she took his hand, and he pulled her to her feet. "You okay?' He let go of her hand.

"Yeah, but now it's Syrus turn to be the monkey in the middle! Yes!" shouted Christy happily, as Syrus groaned, and walked to the middle while Jaden mouthed "Thanks." to Izual.

"Do you guys know where I am supposed to go?" asked Izual, lost. Jaden walked to him.

"Do you have a slip or something?" asked Jaden. Izual searched through his pocket and pulled yellow slip. Jaden took it and read it. He smiled.

"Looks like you will be bunking with me and Sy!" said Jaden.
"That's great, so where exactly do I go?" asked Izual. Jaden looked towards the sky and noticed the sun starting to set.

"Hey Jay, aren't we supposed to get to the dorms before the sun sets? Something about them looking around for something missing." said Syrus. Jaden switched his glance from the sky to Syrus. Chrisy nodded

"I think so…" said Jaden as he scratched his head.
"Yeah, I heard about that too. Well I guess I'll see you all tomorrow?" said Christy as she left towards the female side of the Ra Yellow dorm while Jaden, and the rest went to their place. Meanwhile, Alexis, Mindy, and Jasmine were walking towards the Obelisk dorm. Jasmine had spotted Izual talking with Christy and the rest and kept looking, ignoring the idle conversation between the 3 girls.

"…I know, right? What do you think, Jasmine?" asked Mindy. "Jasmine? Hello?" Jasmine seemed to snap out of her trance and looked at Mindy.

"What?" asked Jasmine.

"Are you paying attention?" asked Mindy.

"Err…not really." said Jasmine. Mindy got the anime sweat drop thing on the back of her head. Alexis smiled.

"She's too busy thinking about the new guy." said Alexis. Jasmine looked at her.

"No I wasn't." said Jasmine, trying to deny it.

"We saw you at class today, that's not your usual self, you were more flirty today." said Mindy. Jasmine sigh.
"You are all crazy, we should hit the hot springs today." said Jasmine, trying to change the subject.

"You sure? Since today is the first day, most of the Ra girls will be allowed." said Alexis. Mindy and Jasmine groaned.

"We will go late at night, that way we will have all to ourselves." said Mindy.

"Hey! Great idea!"

Izual looked at the inside of the room. It had a pair of bunk beds, with a big table in the middle. The floor seemed to be a fine white rug, spotless. There was a table to one side, and a bathroom on the other.

"You can have the bed to the right." said Jaden. Izual went to the bed on the right and noticed his bag was there. "Thank you."

"No problem." said Jaden as he gave him a thumbs up.

"We should probably get some shut eye. You only had to stand 1 class today, tomorrow it will be worse. Besides we can't do anything for a while until they stop doing whatever they are doing." said Syrus, as he went to the bottom bunk and lied down.
"I guess…" said Izual as he lied down on the bottom bunk to the right.

"Okay, Night." said Jaden as they all fell asleep.

…

Izual woke up. He looked at the alarm clock on the table. It read 11 PM. He sigh. I knew sleeping early wasn't a good idea. thought Izual as he sat up. Then he felt his palm glow a fade pink. His eyes widened. He's near. he thought as he stood up. He slowly walked in the same clothe he wore yesterday towards the door. He opened and silently left the room, but as he closed it, Jaden woke up.

"Giant marshmallow?" said Jaden, sleepily as he stopped chewing on his pillow and noticed the door. He looked to the right and notice Izual was gone. He sighed. Might as well follow him before he gets into more trouble. thought Jaden as he left the room.

Meanwhile, Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy walked towards the hot springs, with their towels on. It was a room without a roof. They slowly enter the springs with their towels off, all details blocked by a camera shot of the moon(A/N: That's too avoid getting graphical, for all you pervert folks…hmm…most of my reviewers, so I am expecting to get flame J ) They all sank in the hot water for a second then came up to relax. They all let a sigh of relief. "You were right Mindy, this was a great idea. No one around!" said Jasmine, happily. Then some bubbles started coming from the water. "What the?" Then Christy pop up, grinning, and with her eyes close. She opened them and look at the other girls.

"Hey, I didn't expect company." said Christy as she smiled at them. They all sigh.

"Well, at least it's Christy and not someone else." said Alexis. They nodded. "So what's up Christy?"

"Just relaxing, making sure I get the best out of the hot springs I won't get to use" said Christy, while the others laughed.

Meanwhile, Izual moved about, slowly moved around as his palms glow a bit more. Jaden slowly followed him. He seemed to stop at a lake. He looked at the end of the lake, there seemed to some buildings. Jaden kept hidden behind a tree.
"Hey…Jaden, is it? What are those buildings?" asked Izual, without turning back. Jaden got the anime droplet on the back of his head.

"How'd you know I was here?" asked Jaden as he came out of his hiding spot.

"I noticed you half-way here, so what are those buildings?" asked Izual.

"Those are the Obelisk girl dormitory." said Jaden. "Why?"

"We need to get there." said Izual. "Anyway to get there?"

"Well, there's boat there." said Jaden as he pointed to the boat. "But why?"

"I have a feeling I know who's responsible for the strange events. If you wanna find out, just come with me." said Izual as he got to the boat.

"Somehow, I have a bad feeling about this." said Jaden as he got on the boat with Izual, and helped row his way to the buildings.

"So how'd you meet your girlfriend?" asked Izual as he paddled. Jaden stopped paddling.

"Say wha-?" asked Jaden.

"You know, Christy?" said Izual.
"She is not my girlfriend, just a friend." said Jaden.

"Really? That's surprising." said Izual. Jaden looked at him.

"Yeah…I mean, I have been thinking…" said Jaden. Izual looked at him.

"You should go for it." said Izual as he paddled.

"You think so? Perhaps…" said Jaden then the boat hit land.

"Do it later, we have work to do." said Izual as he got out and felt his palm glow even more pink.

"So why is your hand glowing pink?" asked Jaden.

"I will explain to you to tomorrow, assuming nothing bad happens." said Izual as they started walking on land then they get to the building and noticed a door. His palm glowed a strong glow.

"Okay, he is here." said Izual.

"Who is?" asked Jaden, still confused about it all.

"Who has caused all the confusion around and why they had to stop the testing today." said Izual. "Now what ever lies behind this door, could be very dangerous. I want you to brace yourself, and prepare to attack if need be." Jaden looked a tad worried but then smiled as he prepared himself.

"Okay I am ready." said Jaden.

"Okay…" said Izual as he slowly place his hand on the door handle. He slowly turned it, then pushed both doors open as Jaden jumped screaming "Hiya!" in a karate style. He moved forward then looked Christy, Alexis, Jasmine and Mindy skinny-dipping, however most of their body covered by water( A/N: Read the A/n before this). They all turned around to look at Izual and Jaden.

"Izual?" asked Jasmine, almost shocked.

"Jaden?" said Christy.

"Oh my god" said all the girls as the same time, Jaden and Izual started turning.

"Umm…Jaden…I am not into the popular lingo, how do you say "wrong" in the cool way?" asked Izual, as he gulped turned redder by the second.
"Wait, I been studying this." said Jaden as he pulled book from his pocket with the cover Lingo for Dummies. "Found it…You stone cold trippin', fool."
"Thank you." said Izual. Then came an awkward silence. Then, Mindy broke the silence.

"You perverts!" shouted Mindy. Izual and Jaden sweat dropped. Then Christy joined her.

"Jaden! How could you?" shouted Christy, mad.

"I thought you were better than this, Izual." said Jasmine. Jaden seemed the first one to realize too run. He went to grab Izual then try to drag him but he was to heavy and just fell.

"Why are you so heavy?' asked Jaden. Then the girls seemed to be majorly mad.

"It's a chain mail just drag me out of here!" said Izual as he got dragged by Jaden, while the girls scream. As they got on the boat they started paddling. Meanwhile, on the roof where the obelisk girls sleep, the rare-hunter-cloaked figure started laughing. "Who says I don't have a good sense of humor? We are even now, Izual." said the figure as he kept laughing.
