Chapter 14: Shadows of a Guardian

It was now mid afternoon. The only people who were still in bed were Kyle, Layla, and Jesse. Jaden had gotten up after they all at dinner and Layla said that if he didn't got to classes the next day that it wouldn't end well for him. So he went. Jim wasn't in class either, but had been up for a few hours. It was already just past noon and he planned on getting the other boys up. He snuck out of his and Layla's room, (they share one cause it's huge and she wanted Shirley there just cause, well, she's crazy), and went up to Jaden, Kyle, and Jesse's room. He slowly opened the door and saw the two boys sleeping soundly. Well, for them. Kyle was snoring and it sounded like he was drowning.

'That can't be normal' Jim thought as he walked over to Kyle's stuff and pulled out his foghorn. He stepped on Jaden's bed, put the horn to Kyle's ears, and pushed the button. Kyle's head shot right up and he shouted at the top of his lungs like a little girl in pigtails who rode a bright pink tricycle. He then fell outta his bed and landed on his head. (rhyming!) Jim was silently laughing and stepped down from Jaden's be and went over to see if Kyle had lived through the fall. "You alright mate?" he asked.

"Never, ever, EVER use my foghorn again!" Kyle shouted, still on his head, and took the horn from Jim. He then sat with his legs crossed and started to nuzzle the horn on his cheek. "It's ok sweety! I'm here! Don't worry! No mean man will take you away ever again!"

Jim then looked in Jesse's bed and saw that he was still sound asleep. He then shock Jesse by the shoulders. He slowly opened his eyes and jumped back because Jims face was right next to his. He put his hands to his ears and pulled out ear plugs.

"WHOA! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!" he shouted.

"I've been here for a good 5 minutes mate." Jim said shrugging. "How did you not wake up to the foghorn, Kyle screaming like a little girl, him falling off the bed, and yelling at me? How mate?"

"I was kinda wearing ear plugs. Do you know how hard it is to sleep with Kyle while he snores like that!? It's impossible! I'm surprised that Jaden can sleep threw it!"

"I am too!" Kyle said putting away the horn and standing up and stretching. "I'm hungry! What's for breakfast?"

"Don't you mean lunch mate?" Jim asked. "Ya already missed breakfast. And if you hurry up, we can be just in time for the lunch special!"

"That works." Jesse said jumping outta bed. "Where's Layla? Is she up yet?"

"Nope. She's still asleep mate. Didn't want ta wake her for fear of what she might do to me. And Shirley's with her. One of them will wake the other up sooner or later."

"I thought you said that she didn't take to new people well."

"Well, she did in Jaden's cause a while ago. And when Kyle met her, she took a liking to him. Same with Layla. She really likes Layla. It would be a good thing but, that girl with a crocodile on her side, (shudders) that can't be a good thing. Luckily, we're all on the same side and Shirley won't attack her friends. Now come on! Let's get something to eat!" they all walked to the cafeteria and started to eat their lunch. Well, Jesse and Jim did. Kyle in hailed his as usual.

"We should race you and Jaden and see who would eat their lunch faster!" Jesse said with a chuckle. "Who do you think would win?"

"Me since I'm older and have had more practice than him." Kyle answered. "But, it would be a close raAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! SOMETHING'S ON MY FOOT!! GET IT OFF!! IT'S HEAVIER THAN JADEN!!" Jesse and Jim looked under the table and saw Shirley there looking half asleep

"Morning Shirl!" Jim said with a smile. Shirley just growled lightly at the comment. "Is Layla up yet?" she nodded. "You just want to be alone at the moment, don't you?" another nod. "Can you get off of Kyle's feet?" she shook her head. She was obviously comfy. "Doesn't look like she' gonna be moving for a while there mate. Hope you didn't have ta go the the bathroom or something before that happened. Cause if you move, she'll be mad at you."

"I was just about to get up too!" Kyle said pouting.

"Shut up you idiot!" Layla yawned walking in a smacking him upside the head. "What's for breakfast?"

"Its lunch Lay." Jesse answered. "And it's soup today."

"I don't care as long as it's edible." She walked past them and got the food from Dorothy who looked happy to see her. She sat down next to Kyle, put the bowl to her mouth, and drank it all in one gulp. She put the bowl down, which was totally empty, pushed it away and put her head down on the table. "That was good. I'm going back to sleep."

"Just wake up already!" Kyle said loudly. He got a death glare from Layla and Shirley swatted him with her tail. Neither of them were good when they first got up apparently. "I'll talk quieter for a little bit. So, any plans for the day?"

"Once school gets out I'm gonna finish catching up with Jayjay." Layla said sleepily.

"I was gonna mess with Chazz." Jesse said.

"And I was gonna duel Hassleberry again." Jim said. "We're still trying to see what species is better. He'll never get offa that."

"Lucky you" Layla stated, a little more awake. "What do we do till then? Just sit here and talk? Or leave Kyle and the croc here and go do something else?"

"I like the second idea." Jesse said with a mischievous grin on his face.

"I do too!" Jim said, getting the same grin.

"Well I don't!" Kyle said a little to loudly cause Layla hit him in the head and Shirley hit him with her tail again. "My bad. So, you guys are gonna stay here, right?" they looked at each other, Kyle blinked, and all there was were clouds of dust in the shape of them in their seats. "I hate them. Guess I'll stay here." Kyle said putting his head down. Shirley just growled happily.

OOOOOOO

Jim had gone off somewhere in the woods to look over his deck while Jesse and Layla went up to the roof where he and Jaden met. The view was beautiful at this time of day. The sun was in the middle of the sky and was shinning off the ocean. It was very romantic.

"It's so beautiful up here Jes!" Layla exclaimed putting her arms out and spinning a little bit. "I forgot what this place was like during the day! I used to come here all the time too! Hell, I told Jaden about this. So, did you want to show me something up here or what?" she stopped spinning and faced him.

"It is pretty beautiful out here, isn't it?" he asked looking out at the ocean. "Me and Jay come up here and duel. Or at least, we did till the Dark World, and then he became all emo and such. But, ya there was a reason why I brought you up here. Can you guess what it is? Or do I havta show you?"

"O! I have no idea why I'm here! I guess you'll just havta show me!" she said putting her hands behind her back and smiling. "Is it something important?" she tilted her head to the side a little.

"I guess you could say that." He got a mischievous grin on his face. "Just, trust me."

OOOOOOOO

(time skip! After school back at the Slifer Dorm)

Kyle had been stuck there all day! Layla and Jesse were off doing lord knows what! And Jim was looking at his deck deep in the forest. And what had he been doing? Just sitting there with a crocodile on his feet! Shirley refused to move, and he didn't want to anger the croc. So, he just sat there messing with his deck till Jay and the others came back.

"FINALLY!" Kyle shouted throwing his arms in the air. "I've been stuck here all day long! Shirley wouldn't move, and the others left me! I was all alone in the world while you guys were in class!" mini water falls started to come down from his eyes.

"You sound like you just got dumped!" Jaden said petting Shirley and sitting down next to him. "You truly are a pansy!"

"What was that emo boy?!"

"QUIT CALLING ME EMO!!"

"BUT YOU ARE EMO!!"

"AM NOT!

"ARE TOO!"

"LEAST I'M NOT CRAZY!!"

"But that was the cool Jaden! Now all we have is the emo bastard!" Kyle punched him over the head. A shoe came outta nowhere and hit Kyle right in between the eyes. "OW!" he shouted. He looked at the shoe. It was Layla's.

"Can I have my shoe back Ky?!" Layla called from the door. Kyle threw the thing as hard as he could and she caught it like it was nothing and put it on. "What have I told you about hurting Jaden! You hurt him and I hurt you! You know the rules and yet you continue to break them! Do it again and I'll break you!" she walked over to them and stood over Kyle, glaring at him.

"Don't be like that Lady Layla." Came a calm voice. Everyone looked around and saw a duel monster that looked like Yubel leaning against the door frame. The only differences were his eyes. His eyes were an emerald color and a bright purple. His hair was wild and colored bright red and a gold yellow. "You know that you don't mean it."

"What the hell is that thing?!" Bastion yelled pointing at the creature.

"Wait, you can see him?!" Layla asked, stunned. Everyone but Jesse, Chazz, Kyle and Jaden all nodded their heads slowly with their eyes wide open. "That ain't good."

"Just like you to screw up!" Yubel's voice could be clearly heard. She appeared next to the other monster. "What did you do wrong this time?"

"Least I didn't try and destroy all of the dimensions a few weeks ago." He said nonchalantly.

"What was that?!"

"QUIET!!!" Alexis yelled. "WHY THE FUCK IS YUBEL AND HER TWIN HERE!??! I THOUGHT YOU KILLED HER JADEN!!! START EXPLAINING!!"

"I thought you said you explained everything Jayjay." Layla said.

"I might have skipped that little detail." Jaden said scratching the back of his head nervously. "I fused souls with Yubel. So, her soul is now within mine. But she's not gonna hurt anyone anymore!" Jaden said the last part fast when everyone turned and glared at Yubel.

"She'll hurt anyone that hurts her little Jaden!" the other monster said. "Besides Kyle and Layla of course. But if she does hurt any of you, she'll have to deal with Layla. So you're all safe."

"Alright. That makes sense." Blaire said. "But, why can we see you two!?"

"Cause, me and Jaden both have guardians and powerful other halves. And when we're this close, this could happen." Layla said, sitting down and tipping in her chair. "Everyone, meet Ichigo, Ichigo, everybody else." She said, totally uncaring.

"Ichigo, as in strawberry?!" Chazz said trying not to laugh.

"The 'Ichi' means one and ironically, the 'Go' mean guardian. Want to mock my name again, punk?" Ichigo asked, moving his face gloss to Chazz's, who just backed away very quickly.

"Ichigo!" Layla shouted. "Heel! Don't scare little children!"

"Just this once?" he said, begging. "Please Lady Layla! Pl- wait! Something's coming! Do you feel it too Yubel?" he asked looking at the other guardian, who was glaring to something outside and growled. "I'll take that as a 'yes'. What do we do?"

"What the hell is it?" Layla asked.

"You'll find out now!" Ichigo said. Just then, shadows came outta nowhere from all directions. "Stay calm and stay together!" everyone quieted down, waiting for something to happen. Just then, a loud scream came and most likely could be heard from the other side of the school. "Sir Jaden!" just then the shadows cleared. Everyone was there except Jaden.

OOOOOOOO

Angel: whew! Said it was gonna pick up pace!
