Hey all! Another short chapter and featuring Fonda. I kinda lost my spark in the middle of writing this so if the ending looks rushed, I just wanted to move on. Work has been sapping all my energy due to busy season.

Hope you enjoy the chapter.


The docks were alive with actitivty. The students of Central were being let out for Spring Break. Among them was Jaden, dressed in just a simple black shirt, light blue jeans, his shoes and holding a bag. Between his training sessions with Belowski, the Study Group and his own research into the missing students, he gained a lot of stress. So when Spring Break was announced, he took the opportunity with both hands. He had informed the group of parents he need to take a break, get a new perspective. They replied that they completely understood.

Jaden boarded the boat, heading out for the mainland.

After an uneventful boat ride, Jaden disembarked with several other students. The golden eyed teen walked down the ramp, sighing as he looked around. He'd need to check in at his suite before hitting the scene. A clatter of trunks made him stop and look back. His eyes went wide at a certain red head, sighing in irritation. He quickly headed over.

"Miss Fontaine? Need any help?"

Hearing the young man's voice, Fonda started, her arm out and holding something before seeing it was just Jaden.

"Jaden! Oh, forgive me..." She said, putting away a small can of mace.

Jaden waved it off, understanding completely. He helped the woman with her luggage. Once the trunks were on the small cart, Fonda turned to the boy. Her words of thanks were killed for a moment when she saw a demonic looking woman, but quickly recovered herself. Yubel on the other hand had caught the slight hesitation and knew what it was.

She had been seen. She said something to Jaden in a low whisper making Jaden start some. The boy nodded, turning to the nurse.

"Miss Fontaine, if its not too much trouble, can you accompany me to my hotel? That is if you have no where to be right at this moment." Jaden asked.

Fonda smirked then and Jaden knew right away he was about to be paid back in full for all those comments.

"Why Mr. Yuki! So forward asking a young, busty woman like myself to your hotel room! Why, we haven't even had that dinner yet." Fonda replied, a barely contained smirk on her face.

Jaden laughed, shaking his head, Yubel giggling like mad.

"I walked right into that one." The king snickered. "Miss Fontaine, would you like to have dinner at my hotel room?"

The nurse nodded, gathering her things, Jaden helping.

Fonda's jaw was so low, Yubel was wondering if it would crash all five stories to the lobby. After arriving, the two were shown to their room.

Well, penthouse suite is more accurate. The room was massive, a skylight showing the city, modern artwork all over. A kitchen and island were nearby, a couch and Plasma Screen TV off to one side. Jaden got done explaining that there were two bedrooms so they wouldn't need to worry about sharing. Yubel quipped that he wouldn't mind it, but all Jaden did was give her a glare.

Fonda gulped and looked at the teen.

"This is...wow."

Jaden nodded, saying being a world famous pro had its perks. Here, he grin.

"The biggest perk? I get to have beautiful women on my arm if I ever go out."

Fonda caught what he was implying and returned the grin with her own.

"Really, I'll have to meet these women and see if they can compare to me."

The two bantered back and forth playfully like this after being insisted that they used a first name basis. But they still knew there was an Egyptian God in the room they had to address. After getting a meal together and some drinks, cherry soda for them both, they took their seat.

"Fonda...this is going to sound odd, but...do you see Duel Spirits?" Jaden asked, his plate empty.

Fonda paused, biting her lip. She looked up and saw that woman from before doing a strip dance on one of the modern artworks. Blushing scarlet, she looked away. Jaden caught the blush and looked over in the direction Fonda had looked, rolling his eyes at Yubel's antics.

"Well, that answers that." Jaden said with a note of finality.

He then quizzed Fonda on any dreams she had, namely about a young man with gold eyes that looked and sounded like him, but was named Judai. The nurse's head snapped up, shocked. Jaden chuckled, the spirit coming over and sitting down next to him. He explained that the young man Fonda was seeing was in actuality his past self. He explained about the war and his past self's death.

That made Fonda's jaw drop, reaching the conclusion.

"Reincarnation." Yubel said said, nodding her head and speaking. "You were one of five women in Haou Judai's life. Asuka, Momo, Junko, myself and Emi."

"W-w-what? H-how do I know of this life then?" Fonda asked shocked. "Wouldn't reincarnation make you forget your past life?"

Yubel explained that normally, yes, that was the case. But one could remember their past life if they suffered enormous trauma. Here, Jaden grew dark faced. Fona recalled all too well. The night of molestation that she went under. She still felt phantom hands groping her.

Shaking off the feelings, she listened as Jaden explained how he remembered. Needless to say, she was shocked and angry at Jack Yuki. That led the two of them to now.

"I'm not going to ask you to date me because of what we had in the past. That part is dead. Plus there are three reasons to go along with that. Reason one, you are your own person and thus deserve happiness no matter what form it takes, be it me or another man. Reason two, I'm only seventeen and you are slightly higher up in the age bracket. Third reason is that I'm considered a student and your are a member of the staff. Those never go over well." Jaden said.

Fonda nodded, grateful that Jaden was not demanding she date him again because of what they had. But...well, he did rescue her. Plus she had heard the Trio giggling like mad and saw how Alexis reacted to the kiss. She looked around the room, her mind wandering. Many a man looked at her and saw only the body. But here was a boy...no, a REAL man not looking at the body, but seeing the woman beyond it. He was polite, respectful, and funny. She shuddered, not in fear, but at how at ease he was around her and she him. These were qualities that she always looked for. The fact they shared a life must have had meaning and came to a choice.

"Jaden...I know my past life had something with yours. I'm thankful that you aren't demanding that we try to reclaim that spark. But at the same time...due to what happened, I do not feel at all comfortable with other men...save you and John. What I'm trying to say is...when you are legal, shall we give it a go?" Fonda asked, quietly.

Jaden snapped his head up, shock all over his face. She saw the warring emotions on his face, joy, fear, amazement and of course, arousal. But could she really blame him? He was a young boy after all so his thoughts would wander a bit. He shook his head, making her fear she was rejected.

"Fonda, I would be honored to get to know you."

Here, the nurse smiled.


Like i said, I feel like i rushed the ending there, but I think it turned out okay. Leave a review guys. Next chapter will see the Gravekeeper's and some foreshadowing.
