"Shadow duels! They had to be that fucking stupid." Jaden cursed as she got Syrus to agree to show her where the dorm was tomorrow night. Right now she was in the dorm room packing a backpack full of supplies, no telling what she might need in there. No one noticed a small madly cackling man running from near the window to make a call.

"Aren't shadow duels myths?" Chumley asked looking at Jaden confused for the reaction she was giving as the girl began to finish packing and crawled into her bed where she had several plushies to cuddle… and a bottle of water and medicine on the night stand in case of a late night attack.

"That's what most people think but I know different. My dad used to have the Millennium puzzle, my mom had the Millennium necklace, my uncle Marik had the Millennium rod, one of my godfathers had the Millennium ring and the other godfather had the Millennium eye. Using them uses the Shadow realm and can make Duel Monsters come to life in corporal form. They can also be used to start shadow duels where the losers soul is lost and banished to the shadow realm." Jaden recited as if she were giving a lecture she had heard a thousand times before. To be honest her Uncles had told her when she was seven about some of it.

Then when she had nightmares from the things they told her, her mother had corrected the notions and taught her daughter more about the Millennium items. Ishizu had tried to keep her daughter away from her heritage as a Tomb Keeper… but technically she'd be a princess since she is the daughter of the Pharaoh… or his reincarnation at least.

"The power your parents had been exposed to when they were younger…" Syrus recalled from that first night when they had learned of Jaden's secrets, making Jaden blink but nod.

"Yes, the same one on fact. I was born with a natural connection to the shadows and Shadow Realm thanks to my parents exposure to it. The shadows strengthening my body is the reason why my disease was held at bay for so long." Jaden said causing the two to look at her while Syrus slowly began to recall something about the Millennium puzzle.

"Wasn't…the Millennium puzzle… didn't that belong to Yugi Muto?" Syrus asked making Jaden nod at him.

"Yeah, Yugi is my dad's name." Jaden said making Chumley and Syrus gape at her in disbelief.

"You're the princess of games. The daughter of Yugi and Ishizu." Chumley said slowly as he stared wide eyed at Jaden who shrugged a bit.

"I mean I guess that's my title but I prefer to earn titles rather than be born to them. Mom and dad kept me out of the spotlight as much as they could while I was growing up so no one really knew what I looked like. That's probably the only reason I convinced mom and dad to let me come to school with so few bodyguards." Jaden said not fazed by it all as she went about getting things ready for tomorrow night, packing her extra bottle of medicine and a gun that she had kept hidden from the two boys.

"How many do you have?" Syrus asked remembering the trained sniper and large Ra whose face he never saw.

"Let's see… there's Bass, Thorn, Clown is a new addition, Captain, Guard, and Solo… so six in total unless they slipped more in that I don't know about." Jaden said after thinking about it for a moment.

"Bass is the sniper and a good scientist. Thorn is one who always seems nervous but is great with knives. Clown is a good spy and decent at acrobatics. Captain…she's a former military captain so she's very well trained and is the medic of the team. Solo…he's a sneaky son of a gun and he's great at martial arts. Guard, that's the big Ra you met Sy. He's the defender of the team he can tank through just about anyone and anything with his sheer size and bulk not to mention that he wears actual armor under his uniform." Jaden said counting them off on her fingers while the two males were staring at her surprised and shocked.

"How come you room with us then if you have so many guards? Shouldn't you room with one of them?" Chumley asked confused and making Jaden blink before shrugging.

"Oh they're keeping an eye out to make sure you two don't try anything but so far nothing seems to be wrong so they're letting me stay here. If I have a severe attack or if one of you two tries something they don't like or some trained assassin tries to get to me here then they'll move me in with Captain." Jaden said not bothered by it, her mother had warned her of that very possible situation before she even took the exam.

"So what's the plan princess?" Syrus asked changing the subject and using Jaden's 'title' that all Slifers used. How the rest of the school had yet to catch on to the fact that Jaden was literally called the Slifer Princess instead of 'prince'…none of them knew but the Slifers thought it was hilarious.

And the Obelisks males and Ra's called them stupid! The Blue females at least seemed to stop the insults now with them knowing Jaden's gender meant that they were a bit nicer to the Slifers that protected the sick girl.

"We go to the abandoned dorm and you two leave so that I can investigate the dorm." Jaden began instantly earning twin 'nopes' from the two.

"Not leaving you somewhere dangerous." Chumley said instantly with Syrus nodding in agreement. Jaden quickly looked at her PDA when it buzzed with a message.

"And apparently neither are the guards. Captain just messaged me saying the guards will be nearby." Jaden rolled her eyes at her overprotective friends and bodyguards.

"So new plan then." Syrus said making Jaden sigh.

"You two stick close to me and do exactly what I say and don't wonder off. I'll try to see if I can return them to the physical world or at least send them on to the other side while figuring out who to kill for giving them the idea." Jaden said sternly to the boys who looked at each other.

"Leave the heavy work to us and we'll agree." Chumley said making Jaden scowl.

"You agree or I'll dose you with sleeping pills and leave you knocked out." Jaden said flatly making the two pout but nod in agreement.

"You're taking this very seriously aren't you?" Syrus asked making Jaden nod once.

"Shadow duels are no joke. Trust me." Jaden said looking off into the distance a bit.

Syrus and Chumley exchanged worried looks. Jaden acted like she had been in Shadow Duels before.

They didn't know that she had been.
