Well the truth is that. . . my last name is not Yuki '' he said giving everyone a confused look
"But why would you lie about your name Jaden?" Jesse asked.
And what's so dramatic about it? Chazz asked
'' Nothing if we put aside his real last name '' replied Mana
And what is that name? Isidore asked
'' MUTO '' Mana shouted who made all his friends jump
"WHAT ?!" shouted all of Jaden's friends extremely shocked most probably wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't just come from the mouth of a servant of Yugi.
"Is that true Jaden? Zane asked
''Yes . . that's true Zane ''
"MANA! "screamed Mahad red with anger" Yesterday before coming to the festival don't you think that if Jaden asked us to act like we don't know him it was for a good reason ?! ''
"This is also your fault Mahad." Jaden said giving a look that made the wizard recoil.
Everyone then looked at him as if he had two heads.
"But let's see, why didn't you ever tell us Jaden? I probably would have been nicer, '' said Chazz, whispering the last part.
"Jaden is a neutral guy he doesn't like to feel superior to others" replied Mana clinging to Jaden's arm.
'' I see '' said Zane '' But if you are the son of the master of games Jaden why we never heard about you before you entered this academy? ''
'' Because I asked my father to keep my identity a secret and I believe that if I had revealed my real name a lot less duelist here would have wanted to compete with me and you know how I love to duel here ''
'' Yes just like me '' said Mana '' Besides, I'm going to stay ''
"Huh? But don't you think it's risky? ''
"Oh let's see Jaden it's you who ordered me to come to this festival 2 years in a row so you're not going to chase me now"
"Sorry for breaking your moral Mana but I'm afraid I can't let you. Jaden said "It's an order."
"Oh but if you don't allow me to stay young master I'm afraid of being tempted. . . to tell everyone what happened with Alexia after the team duel a few days ago '' she said to herself which aroused the curiosity of others in particular that of Isidore
''Oh ! You wouldn't do such a bitch to me! ''
'' Ha ha do you think Jaden, I'm me don't forget ''
'' Ggrr okay I bow you can stay ''
'' SUPER '' she yelled before pouncing on him
'' YOUR INTENTION THE FESTIVAL IS NOW OVER AND THE COVER FIRE TIME IS REACHED! PLEASE RETOUNER TO YOUR Dormitory, THANKS! ''
'' Good see you tomorrow '' said Jaden followed closely by Mahad and Mana '' Where exactly are you going? ''
'' Where you go master '' replied Mahad
'' Sorry but I would like to be alone ''
'' I'm afraid that is not possible Master Yugi gave us the order to stay with you '' said Mahad
''Well . . . I'm not going to discuss my father's orders, although I don't miss the urge. he said disappointedly "But Mana you'll sleep in the blue girl's dormitory okay?" ''
`` To your orders ''
'' Woaw '' said Zane '' They really obey you with the finger and the eye ''
'' Obviously little human, Jaden being the son of our master we consider his words to be his '' said Mahad
Therefore if he orders us something we are obliged to obey him. '' continued Mana '' He is the one who ordered me to come to the festival this year and the one before and it is also he who ordered me to face him in a duel last year but not this year there, there it is because I wanted to. ''
"But I have a question," said Syrus uncertainly. "At the end of the last festival when you kissed me was Jaden who ordered you to do it too? ''
"NO, she did it because she loves you very much. "Mahad said sarcastically" OBVIOUSLY JADEN ORDERED HIM. "
"Listen Syrus don't take it badly but frankly you're not my style" Mana said in a sorry tone.
"Jaden how could you order him to do that ?! Syrus yelled at him
Because you were at the bottom of the black hole. Don't blame me for that Syrus, sorry. Jaden replied before leaving and all the others did the same
Said Jaden? '' Asked Mahad '' Where am I going to sleep? ''
`` Where you want as a servant of the master of the games all the doors of this academy are open to you in my opinion '' replied Jaden before seeing the spirit of Neos appear next to him followed by that of Yubel
'' Hi Jaden '' greeted Neos, "It's just to tell you that we can feel a great dark power very near."
And it's only now that you notice it, you go down. Jaden chuckled before showing them Mahad "There's nothing to worry about."
'' Hello Neos '' greeted Mahad
'' Oh Mahad, it's been a long time ''
'' Too long but say who areIs this? '' Mahad asked, pointing to Yubel, "I think I've seen you before."
'' I am Yubel the defender spirit of Jaden '' replied Yubel "You remember I looked after him when he was a child.
"Oh yes now I remember it was you who hurt all those assholes who dared to raise their hands on Jaden when he was little"
''Yes . . but I changed Mahad, I am no longer that demon that you knew ''
I suspect otherwise Jaden would have kicked you out of his body already. . but a Jaden question. ''
''Yes what ?''
"Well my little sister blackmailed you to stay here, what is it? ''
''Well . . Jaden started looking at Yubel who started to whistle innocently.
Currently in the Obelisk girls' dormitory
''YOU BELIEVE IN IT ?! "Jasmine yelled in excitement" In fact Jaden is the son of the greatest duelist! ''
"Yes we will need another confirmation but if that turns out to be true we could be in trouble" said Mindy "I mean at the start of the year we weren't really very nice to him. Do you think he's angry with us? ''
''No, I do not think so . . '' Alexia began with her head in the clouds. '' After all it's Jaden. ''
At these words Jasmine and Mindy looked at him smirk
'' But tell us '' Began Jasmine '' To remain the dark magician blackmailed her about something that happened between Jaden and you can you tell us what it is? ''
'' Oh uh actually uh that's it's '' she stuttered '' IT'S NOTHING AT ALL! ''
'' Oh NO that I don't think so '' said Mana who had just entered the room.
''What are you doing here ? ''
"Jaden ordered me to sleep here tonight BUT let's not change the subject you were talking about you and Jaden right? ''
'' Uh no not at all ''
"You know Alexia if something really happened between you and Jaden there is nothing to be ashamed of" Jasmine reassured her
'' We always found him cute, '' continued Mindy blushing a little.
'' Oh that you can say it '' said Mana dreamily, 'you surely know that but I became Yugi's monster long before Jaden was born. And as the game master Yugi was often very busy and guess who to take care of Jaden ME I saw her grow up and when he started to become an adult I have. . I gradually started to fall in love '' said Mana, chuckling embarrassed, earning her a glare from Alexia.
"Woaw! 'Said Mindy' 'But back to the facts. What happened with him and Alexia? "
"Oh yeah, well actually. . ''
"NO" Alexia yelled before jumping on her but was stopped by her two friends and could only move her legs and hips to try to break free.
So I resume, it happened a few week ago. . . ''
Alexia was in front of the lighthouse and she saw Jaden approaching (episode 162)
'' Hi Jaden ''
'' Hi Alexia ''
''I . . I wanted to tell you . . thanks for today ''
''Why ? ''
'' Because today I was able to remove my doubts ''
''Oh? ''
By the way Jaden I. . I . . I . . you import ''
"Alexia are you okay?"
"Oh uh I'm glad I met you" she said blushing leaving Jaden confused "Let's still be good rivals"
'' Yes '' he said shaking her hand before leaving
'' Oh and Alexia thank you, it's been a long time since I had had such a fun duel '' he said before waving to her and heading back to his dormitory.
"Mmh you're pitiful" someone said behind Alexia who startled her
'' YUBEL ?! ''
'' Yes why are you so surprised? ''
"Jaden can see the spirits but not me. How come I can see you? ''
"For the good reason that I am not an Alexia spirit I am really here in front of you. ''
''But how ? And why ? ''
'' To help you Alexia ''
''Help me? About what ?''
'' What a question with my master of course ''
"Jaden? But what help are you talking about? ''
'' Strong feelings that you have for him and that you barely manage to hide. ''
''WHAT?! Oh no that is not true! ''
`` It can be seen from the Moon Alexia, but I can tell you that it is reciprocal ''
At these words Alexia remained frozen stiffer than a board
'' Qu. . what do you mean ? ''
'' I mean she likes you Alexia. ''
'' Vr. . really ? ''
''Yes ''
"But if that's the case why didn't he ever tell me"
'' Why didn't you tell her? Listen Alexia I have known Jaden a lot longer than you and I can tell you he's even more stubborn than you think so I assure you he will NEVER take the first step. . so please i ask you to do it '' Yubel begged her
''. . . Alright '' she said before walking towards Jaden's dormitory
"Oh and one last thing"
''Yes what ? ''
If you manage to break her heart I won't hesitate to do what I did to those gamins that martyr Jaden in the past. ''
'' Euuuuhhhh oooookkkkkkkk '' she said terrified before running away
"Ha ha ha the threat of death his walking every time" said Yubel before disappearing
Meanwhile Alexia was in front of the dormitory door and hesitated to open
"Am I really ready for this," she thought before thinking back to what Yubel had told her, taking a deep breath and opening the door and saw Jaden sitting on her bed with a tormented look.
'' Jaden ''
'' Hey Alexia what are you doing here? ''
"Well Jaden there. . . I've got to have something for you. '' Blushing, "Something I've kept to myself for far too long."
''What is that ? ''
Well actually. . . '' before she got to thinking 'I can't, maybe I'm not meant to' 'just then she saw Neos appear behind Jaden in such a way that he was can't see it. He nodded and motioned for her to come forward before disappearing
'' Jaden I. . I .. '' she blushes disproportionately before spitting out the morsel whispering '' I love you ''
Can you repeat? he asked taped
"I love you Jaden. . . But know that. . . she began before Jaden put his finger to her mouth.
"Alexia." Jaden whispered, smiling "Stop talking."
They looked tenderly in the eye as they stepped forward until their lips met in a kiss that means absolutely everything.
"I love you too Alexia," he said, hugging her, "Since we've known each other. Sorry to have waited so long."
At these words Alexia burst into tears and responded to Jaden's embrace
Jaden. . promise me one thing ''
''All what you want ''
"Promise me from now on we won't have any secrets from each other, okay?" ''
''Well . . Jaden began guiltily looking at the ground, "Ju. . precisely I have. . I have confessed something Alexia to you. You know Yugi Muto ''
'The game master of course Jaden everyone knows him. Not you ? ''
'' If I know him much better than you think. . . This is my father ''
After hearing this Alexia was speechless, at first she thought he was joking but she saw in his eyes that he was sincere. She was on the verge of passing out before Jaden took her hand.
''Alexia . .promise me not to tell anyone the conversation we just had ''
"I promise you Jaden" she said before kissing him again
End of the story
"And this is how it went" said Mana excitedly.
"Uh why doesn't that surprise me? Jasmine asked
'' Because it was predictable, '' Mindy replied, "Although it took a very long time."
"You shouldn't have said it Mana now that it's done Jaden has no more reason to allow you to stay," Alexia threatened.
''Why? He doesn't know ''
'' Unless I tell him ''
Mana burst out laughing `` You didn't even want your 2 best friends to know that and you want it to go around the Academy? ''
At his word Alexia fell silent immediately
But by the way? "Asked Mindy" "Does Isidore know? ''
'' NO '' Alexia yelled '' And I ain't intending to tell her ''
"It won't be necessary little sister. said a voice behind the door which opened and revealed Isidore
'' How long have you been here? Alexia asked
"For more than enough to know what's between you and Jaden" replied her brother "But you know Alexia I knew about your feelings for him long before this story. By the way why didn't you want me to know? ''
'' Because knowing yourself you will shout it at the 4th corner of the universe '' she replied on the verge of tears
At this sight Isidore hastened to take her in his arms
"Listen Alexia if you don't want me to say it I won't, I promise."
''Really ? ''
''Really ''
"But how did you get in here? It is forbidden to man ''
'' I can not reveal my secrets '' he said to her before leaving '' You know little sister I will not say anything but you you should ''
'' He is right you know '' said at the same time his 2 best friends
'' Oh it's time '' said Mana before stepping out
'' The hour of what? Alexia asked
"At this time Jaden is still sound asleep so I'm going to kiss him" she replied teasingly, sticking out her tongue.
''WHAT?! YOU SECRETLY KISS HIM WHILE SLEEPING! Alexia growled
'' Of course and I've been doing this every night since he was born, but above all you shouldn't tell him, shut. "she said before going out
"She really isn't as innocent as she looks" sighed Alexia
Back to the red dorm
"Why do you seem so upset Syrus? Hassleberry asked
Are you really wondering? ''
'' Hi '' said Mana who was it entered '' Say where is Jaden? ''
'' He is there, he is asleep '' replied Syrus.
'As always' she said before leaning over and kissing Jaden leaving Hassleberry and Syrus speechless.
'' Wait during the festival your big brother didn't tell us that the serge had never agreed to kiss you? ''
"But I don't always ask her opinion" she said with a wink and her tongue sticking out "Besides, you haven't seen my brother? ''
He went to sleep with the yellow Ra. Why ? ''
'' Because I can only sleep if he tucks me in '' she replied before running off
"Frankly I wonder how Jaden manages to be so lucky" Syrus asked jealously.
'' It is not luck Syrus, the serge is a Muto it is normal that he is everything for him.
Sorry if it took a bit long. But now is where the story really begins.
