Chapter 9- Not here or there

Being Thursday, classes were still held. After breakfast Syrus, Hassleberry, Jaden and Alexis headed over to Dr. Crowler's class for whatever he teaches Crowler looked shock to see Jaden, especially him in his new black get up and was even more shocked seeing Alexis copying him.

"What up teach" Jaden said and took his seat next to Syrus and Alexis took a seat next to him, since everyone else was in the society. After everyone has entered the classroom Crowler silence the class.

"Now, the Chancellor has informed me that we will be having a field trip coming up as you all are aware. Now we must decide where to go. Now are there any suggestions?"

Chazz stood up immediately after he said that and screamed "Florence!" The rest of the society followed him so that it became apparent that majority was in favor for it.

"Actually we non society members would like to go to NYC." Jaden said being calm and collective. Crowler was used to more emotion from Jaden and just stared at him.

'When did Jaden become mature? Oh well I am not complaining.' Crowler thought. "Since neither group can decide where to go, we'll have to duel. Now each group pick a representative to duel."

"Bastion stood up "I will for the light."

"What the fuck, why not." Jaden stood up.

"Very well, so at 5pm today go to the arena and duel to decide, now back to class." And with that Jaden just stared blankly at the white board where Crowler was teaching. It wasn't necessary for him to pay attention since the Supreme king already knew all the secrets and tactics to dueling. When class ended it was time for lunch.

"Hey Lex I need to talk to you for a second." Jaden said.

"Sure Jay. What's up?" They headed down the hall in the opposite direction so that they couldn't be overheard.

"Well I need to talk to you about… how do I put this?"

"What is it? Comon spit it out."

"Well I was wondering if you had any second thoughts about this. You know the power of darkness and all that?"

"Why would i? I have it under control and so do you. Why are you so scared?"

"Well I only had this for as long as you, so I don't know what could happen to us if we continue on this path and…" but he was stopped by Alexis who put her finger on his mouth.

"Jaden it's all good, were not walking around like blundering idiots like the society. Were perfectly fine." He stared into her golden eyes, literally, which were full of love and concern.

"Okay. I guess I should prepare for the duel with Bastion."

"Nah, he's not that strong. You haven't revealed your deck yet so he can't counter it. Let's just enjoy ourselves for a little while."

"No I can't. I'm still feeling the effects of last night."

Alexis sighed. "I don't mean like that perve. All I'm saying we don't have to do anything till 5. Of course if you change your mind…"

"Oh looks who the perve."

"Shut it." Jaden gave a quick kiss to Alexis and they headed to the cafeteria holding hands. It was pretty much empty except for Hassleberry and Syrus and a couple of white student, which included Chazz and Bastion.

"Sarge over here!" Hassleberry shouted from across from the room.

A couple of white students looked at who he was talking to, and they all jumped at the sight of Jaden. Most people still haven't got a good look at both his and Alexis's new eyes, but to their enemies it made them re live their worst memories.

"Be there in a sec!" Jaden shouted back. He and Alexis went over to the grab their lunch.

"Mr. Yuki." Jaden looked to see who said it and it was Chancellor Sheppard who was standing next to the exit and looking straight at him.

"Hello Chancellor. How's it been?"

"Not well until now. I hope you're feeling good from your little expedition?"

"Yah, everything is perfect."

"Glad to hear that." He then walked closer so that Jaden could only hear what he was saying. "You better not lose. I don't like what the society is doing."

"You know me I won't lose." And with that Chancellor walked out of the cafeteria.

He and Alexis then got their food, which was shrimp tempura and headed towards the "slacker" table.

"So what did Sheppard want?" Alexis asked.

"Wants to make sure I won't lose. Like that will happen." Suddenly Jaden's PDA rang. He picked it up and read the message.

Dear Mr. Yuki

We will like to hold the duel right now if you are available. Please return with your answer and head to the arena. The duel will start in 30 minutes if you accept.

Signed,

Dr. Crowler

"Well I guess I need to get going." He replied yes and ran out the doors with the other 3 following him. At the same time Bastion got up, obviously receiving a similar message and headed out of the Cafeteria.

Bastion thought to himself 'I don't know if I can beat him. I have no idea."
