"Oh. Hey there Alexis! I was just showing this Slifer Slacker the difference in our skills! By that I mean I was totally trashing him in tennis er well…by that I mean I was-" Harrington rambled on to try and impress Alexis at how much he was beating Jaden at tennis. He didn't even notice at first that she walked right by him without batting an eye, a bottle of water in her hand.

"She walked right past you!" Mindy yelled at him from the sidelines.

"Here you look like you need it. By the way did you hear?" Alexis asked handing the water bottle to Jaden who drank it down happily.

"Hear what?" Jaden asked before taking another swig of the water, she had been out here in detention for hours. That's what it felt like at least! Then again given her nature it wasn't a surprise that she was sleepier and a bit weaker during the day.

"There's been news on Chazz." Alexis said making Jaden blink and then focus on the older girl immediately.

"So what's the sitch?" Jaden asked after downing the last of the water.

"He w-did you just quote an American TV show?" Alexis asked her mind catching up with her ears before she could finish the sentence.

"Kim Possible is fun to watch. My mom introduced it to me when I was little cause daddy wouldn't let her show me the bloody vampire movies she preferred." Jaden said with a shrug and causing Syrus to look confused.

"But didn't you say that your mom died when you were born?" Syrus asked making Jaden wince, it wasn't like it was a lie after all.
"My mom had a bit of a split personality. One of her personalities died the day I was born and she wasn't the same after that so technically she did die when I was born. She just… in some ways she was the same according to daddy but in other ways she was completely different. Note this is second hand information since she disappeared altogether when I was five so I barely have any memories of her." Jade clarified and it wasn't a lie. But seriously how do you explain to people who didn't even believe in duel spirits that her mother had been a vampire whose human side died when she was born?

That was one reason Jaden was always so sleepy in class but much more excited when there was a duel or energetic at night time. She was half vampire on her mom's side. The sun didn't hurt her, aside from a normal sunburn that well okay it was a bit stronger than normal, but it made her sleepy. She could feed off of the emotions and latent shadow magic during a duel which usually made her able to pass off as normal instead of narcoleptic. It was also why she ate so much, trying to store up energy to stay awake during the day and to feed the hunger in the back of her throat. That burning aching thirst/hunger that was always there unless she sated it.

Even when she did sate it though it would come back again in a day or two, so she just tried not to feed too often.

"Anyways… you said you had news on Chazz?" Jaden asked looking at Alexis again and making her blink and then nod her head.

"Yeah someone's seen him!" Alexis said making Jaden's eyes widen but Harrington had to but his nose in.

"Hey I don't like what I'm seeing, what I mean is GET AWAY FROM HER!" Harrington seemed oblivious to the fact that he was on fire as he got in-between Jaden and Alexis who both backed away startled.

"Geez man calm down! We're just taking a quick break and talking." Jaden said looking at Harrington confused and annoyed for the interruption.

"How dare Slifer Slime like you talk to my Obelisk Fairy?! You no good, bad tennis playing, slow reflex-" Harrington was cut off by Jaden turning to the side suddenly and catching a thrown water bottle that she had no way of seeing coming.

"It looked like you needed something to stay hydrated." Bastion's voice said calmly from behind them as he walked over causing Jaden to turn and smile brightly at him.

"Thanks Bastion! I'm really thirsty!" Jaden said smiling at the boy who faltered for a moment at the smile but then just nodded with a slight dusting of pink on his cheeks.

"Of course. It is rather hot out today so naturally it's best to keep cool and hydrated, especially when playing sports." Bastion said as he stepped up behind Jaden with his arms crossed as he raised an eyebrow at Harrington.

"Is there a problem?" Bastion asked making Harrington sneer at the Ra student.

"Nothing that concerns you Ra Reject! Jaden I challenge you to a duel where the winner gets Alexis's heart!" Harrington said making Jaden furrow her brows and glance at Alexis worried.

"Okay I know I'm not exactly the most powerful card in the deck but won't Alexis kind of, you know, die without her heart?" Jaden asked making everyone face palm or sweatdrop at the innocent question.

"It's a figure of speech. It means the winner gets to date Alexis like a boyfriend and girlfriend." Bastion explained to Jaden who just looked more confused for a second and then she looked pissed. Everyone, even Harrington, took a step back at the look on her face.

"So you're talking about Alexis as if she were a prize to be won? As if her opinion of this doesn't matter?" Jaden's voice was a deathly whisper that seemed to echo as her eyes flashed red dangerously.

"I refuse the terms of the challenge. I won't act as if my friend is a prize. I ever hear that you talked about a girl like that again and I won't even use my deck. I'll kill you." Jaden's voice was cold and dark as she stepped forward and despite Harrington having a full head and shoulders on her in height she seemed to loom over him.

"I'll drain your blood dry." Jaden hisses at him, her voice soft like a kiss of death is soft.

"You'll be a dried up withered husk by the time I'm done if you ever dare to so much as think of a woman as a prize." Jaden continued to walk slowly towards Harrington who backed away until his back hit the net.

He ended up tripping and falling over the net, his legs tangled in it, as he laid on the court staring up at Jaden who loomed over him with one eye glowing red and one glowing gold.

"And believe me. I. Will. Know." Jaden's voice seemed to penetrate his brain as well as Harrington gulped and cowered before her while she stared at him in disgust.

"Worm." Jaden scoffed as she turned away back towards her shocked and gaping friends, her eyes returning to their original shade of brown.

Everyone was gaping at her and a few of them like Mindy and Syrus were trembling. Bastion was tugging at his blazer collar a bit.

Her next brightly asked question had most of them face vaulting.

"So what were we talking about?"
