"Aw man! Today is not my day!" Hikari said running up the big hill on the way to the written exam…after she had overslept. To be fair she had been training with her dad in the Shadow Realm yesterday and that always left her exhausted. Heck one time when she was ten her and her dad had trained so much that Hikari had stayed asleep for ten straight hours… the way her mom panicked before turning pissed and banning her dad to the couch for a month was hilarious after the fact though…

It had been a week and a half since the Love Letter incident, a week since she had been deemed recovered enough to go to class provided she took it easy especially in Gym class. It had been a week and a half since the school learned of her cancer, but not of her true gender thanks to Ms. Fontaline and the Slifers. A week and a half since Crowler assumed his new position as a spy for Hikari and Seto. Kaiba's idea was that since Crowler had been acting that way under the spirits influence for so long, everyone would be suspicious if he suddenly changed that. Not to mention that by acting that demeaning and, frankly, abusive way anyone who wanted to try and attack or humiliate the students, particularly 'Jaden' and the Slifers would go to Crowler for help which gave them an inside scoop.

It had also been a week and a half since Hikari had talked to Alexis, Mindy, or Jasmine, and the three Obelisk girls wilted anytime she would give them a blank or neutral look. After the rest of the girls dorm found out about how those three and Crowler were the reason for the whole incident… they had taken o ignoring or pranking the four and claimed that they wouldn't stop until they either earned 'Jaden's respect back or were forgiven by the sole Slifer female. Given the circumstances… none of the teachers, not even Crowler although he had put up a token effort by blaming the pranks on 'Jaden's and any other Slifer he could name, stopped the other girls. Heck even though she knew about the spirit and all, Ms. Fontaline encouraged the girls pranks as long as they didn't become humiliating. To be fair even Crowler had laughed after the students left the time his hair had been turned bright pink for two days…and they still didn't know how the girls managed that!

"I always have to have a hero streak… makes sense when you consider my first friends and deck." Hikari said sighing as she rushed past an old woman struggling to push her big van up the hill, stopping and turning back to help the woman.

"You must be from the Auto-club." The old woman said as Hikari helped the woman push the van up the hill.

"Heh. Something like that. I can take a look at it after we get it to flat ground." Hikari said smirking slightly as she helped push the van up the hill, grateful for her Uncle Odin's warrior training and her shadow powers boosting her physical capabilities which made it much easier to push the van than it would have been otherwise, especially with her cancer making her weaker most days.

"Why don't we give you ladies a hand?" A male's voice asked as several appeared out of nowhere from beside 'Jaden', causing her and the old woman to look up. Standing before them was Clayman, Bladedge, Wildheart, Avian, Sparkman and Bubbleman before a small burst of flames signaled the arrival of Burstinatrix as well.

"Hey everyone. What are you doing here?" Hikari asked smiling at the Heroes while the old woman stared shocked at the sight of the Duel Monsters in corporal form before them as the guy heroes took up positions around the van.

"Hey we are Heroes you know? Aside from that we're also gentlemen. We can't just leave two pretty women to try and push this thing up a big ol' hill all on their lonesome." Wildheart said in a southern drawl as he winked at the two human girls before yelping when Burstinatrix smacked him upside the head.

"Wayne. No flirting with the humans, especially no flirting with our little Queen." Burstinatrix said as she gently took the two humans away from the van as the male heroes all pushed it up the hill much quicker than 'Jaden' and the old woman had been doing so.

"Yes Trix." Wildheart, now known to actually be called Wayne, said pouting as he helped the other heroes who were laughing at him.

"Honestly Wayne you should know better by now. Be glad it was Trix out here instead of Terra Flame, Super Nova, or worse of all…Yubel." Avian said snickering at his fellow hero, although they all paled and shivered at the thought of passing off the three much more powerful women.

"Be glad I'm not as hot headed as those three are… Oh grow up!" Burstinatrix said exasperated at the end sentence when all the male heroes began snickering.

"Sorry Trix but you have to admit it's ironic that a pyro isn't hot headed when you can literally control flames." Bubbleman said with a snicker, his accent sounding like he was from Brooklyn.

"I will blast all of you and you know it… except for you Cilan. You're okay." Burstinatrix said looking at the large Clayman who gave a childish laugh and stopped pushing for a minute to clap his hands happily. The van skidded back a foot or two before the rest of the guys managed to dig their feet in.

"Cilan!" The other guy heroes shouted causing Clayman, now known as Cilan, to begin pushing the van again for while Burstinatrix and Hikari were laughing.

"Sorry big brothers." Cilan said apologetically as he pushed the van again, his voice sound like an eight or nine year old boys. It only took the male heroes roughly two minutes to get the van to the top of the hill and another two to get it near the card shop.

"Thanks guys. You got it done a lot easier and quicker than we could have." Hikari sad smiling at her heroes, who she was closer to then most of her other decks although all of her Duel Spirits adored their 'little Queen' as they always called her.

"No problem little Queen. You know you aren't supposed to do anything stressful or straining for at least another week anyways." Avian said smiling down at Hikari while she shrugged and popped the hood of the van. Hkari fiddled around in the hold for a minute, thanking Kami that her Uncles Marik, Malik, Bakura, Joey, and Tristan had taught her mechanics and engineering… although the twins and Bakura's reason was more so that she would know how to hotwire a car rather than fix it... her mom and dad had not been amused when they learned about that.

"Let's see…. Here's your problem right here! The sparkplug came loose so your battery drained really fast. Let me just reconnect it… and… there we go! All you have to do is charge the battery and you're good to go! Sora do you mind?" Hikari asked looking at Sparkman, now known to be Sora, who stepped forward.

"Not at all little Queen. One static charged battery coming right up!" Sora said, his accent sounding British, as some electricity jumped from his hands to the battery for a moment before he stopped.

"Thanks Sora. You should be good to go now ma'am. Need any more help though and just ask one of the Slifers for Jaden, somehow they can find me easily…" Hikari said smiling at the old woman before she trailed off curiously, wondering how her dorm mates were always able to find her no matter what.

"Um… Little Queen?" Bladedge asked, his voice deep and guttural but seemed free of any accent, looking at Hikari.

"Yes Bruce?" Hikari asked curiously.

"Don't you have a test today?" Bruce asked curiously causing Hikari to blink before her eyes widened.

"Crap! I am soooo friggen late!" Hikari yelped beginning to run towards the testing room, her heroes and the old woman watching after her either smirking, amused, or just plain confused.

"Well… our little Queen is never boring at least." Avian said amused, earning a smack upside the head from Burstinatrix.

"Shut up Angel. We need to get in uniform." Burstinatrix said causing all the guys to nod and disappear while she remained behind for a moment and looked at the old woman. She said only a few sentences before disappearing the way she came, leaving the old woman to stare in confusion at where they had all once been.

"Be careful around our little Queen. She's ill and we are very protective of her. My real name is Blake by the way but everyone calls me Trix. I'll see you around human woman."
