Just Another Day in the Dueling Academy Chapter 2, a yu-gi-oh fanfic

Jade was leaning against the desks in the room while talking to Chazz his two cronies were standing right beside him listening to everything that they were saying.

"So um Chazz...I was wondering last night if you were going to go to the costume dance next Saturday...cause well I have no partner and…" She paused right there and blushed slightly.

Chazz crossed his arms "And you were wondering if I had anyone to go with also...well the answer is no...I have no one to go with and yea I'm going to go but I was going to ask you first if you wanted to go with me..."

Unfortunately his two cronies hadn't heard this yet and Chazz always tells them stuff...their jaws dropped "But Chazz she's a Slifer Red! And I think it would ruin your rep if you went with a Slifer slacker!" said the crony with the deep voice.

Chazz growled "But she's not a Slifer...she doesn't act like one...they just accidentally placed her in that damn dorm...and if Seto Kaiba won't get her out of it and into her proper dorm which is our dorm…then I'll do something about it." He said growling at them.

Jade smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck happily, "Thank you Chazz!" She said giggling Chazz blushed and his two cronies fell backwards anime style.

Down by the teachers desk, Dr. Crowler was blinking "A slifer hugging Chazz? Ohh this is pure gold! Maybe I can get this lil Sifer slacker in trouble just like I tried to get Jaden in trouble last year..." he chuckled to himself as he watched Chazz, Jade and Chazz' two cronies leave the room.

"Come on Makki, you can do better than that!" teased Bastion as the girl whacked the tennis ball as hard as she could but it didn't make it over the net, just hit it. He laughed in sport at her attempt as she kicked the ground with her sneaker.

"I hate this sport!" she growled as she positioned her racket to receive another serve from Bastion. When is came her way, she took another whack at it. It flew over Bastion's head and was knocked back at her again from a different player. She screamed as she moved to the side, avoiding the attack of the fast moving object. "Hey you jerk!" she yelled over at the student, who surprisingly was Jaden. He waved over at her with a grin and went back to playing his game. "I quit…" she said miserably as she throw the racket over in the corner as the bell rang. "Lunch time." She said as she waved bye to Bastion, who was greatly amused by her performance, as she walked into the girls' locker room to get changed. She saw the new girl once again standing over by the far wall by herself. Makki would have stopped to chat with her to get to know her, but she had to meet Zane for lunch. She slipped her shirt on and grabbed her purse while running out the door, causing it to slam loudly behind her as she broke off into a run to the cafeteria. She turned the corner sharply and ran into a blue jacket as both students fell to the ground.

"Watch where you are going!" yelled the Obelisk Blue member as he stood up and looked down at her. Makki lifted her gaze up to meet Chazz and gave him a slight glare.

"Sorry," she said sarcastically as she picked up her things, stood up and looked at him, almost meeting him at eye level. "Sheesh, it was your fault too." She said as she moved past him because she was already late and didn't want to delay by arguing.

"Aren't you that Makki girl that is suppose to be in Obelisk Blue?" he asked while quirking his brow a bit.

She turned and looked at him while yelling down the hall, "Yes! But I don't have time to talk right now, I'm late!" she just sent him a wave and ran off. She burst into the cafeteria too see it completely crowded, how was she suppose to find Zane in here?

"Makki…" a familiar voice came from behind her as she turned around to face Zane.

"There you are!" she said while smiling. "This place seems crowded, we should go somewhere quieter to study," she said as he nodded his head.

"Grab your lunch; I know a place where no one will bother us."

She grabbed a bag of some food items and followed Zane out of the cafeteria. They walked outside into the bright sunshine as Bastion, Jaden, and Syrus were making their way into the building. Bastion cast a glance, which caused her to blush a bit as she passed him. "So where are we going?" she asked Zane. He didn't answer her as they walked a far distance off campus towards the beach. They walked over towards large rocks on the shoreline and sat down on them. "Wow…it's beautiful out here…"

"I like to come here and think sometimes…" he said while looking out over the ocean then turned his head to look at her and smiled. She lifted her fingers up and touched the necklace that lied around her neck. "I take it you like it?"

"Yes, I love it. It matches my background." It was an ankh necklace that he got her. She used to have one when she was younger, but thanks to Marik, she hadn't seen it in ages. "So what are you wearing to the costume party this weekend?"

"I'm going as a wizard. What about you?"

She giggled and stuck her tongue out at him, "Mine is a surprise. You'll have to wait and see." She winked at him and opened up her lunch and took a bite out of her apple. She turned her head to look out over the ocean. A smile touched her lips as the waves lapped over the sand. She blinked as she turned to look at him, catching him staring at her. "What?" she asked while laughing a bit. "There aren't any oceans where I am from."

"I just think you should advance to Obelisk Blue."

Her smile vanished as she turned away from him to look back out at the sea. "You know I won't. Ra Yellow is where I belong. I owe it to my family to stay loyal to the Sun God…I just don't see why everyone doesn't understand that…" she sighed softly while tilting her head down.

"I just think you would look a lot better in blue."

She blushed, "Sorry to inform you, but I think I look better in purple and khakis." He smiled at her comeback as she took another bite out of her apple. "Besides, don't you ever get tired of wearing blue?" she asked as she shook her head.

"Sometimes…" he admitted nonchalantly. "Everyone looks up at me because I am the best duelist here."

"And the girls because you are a major hottie," she said while winking at him.

A smirk crossed his lips, "Even you?"

Caught by his answer she blushed and gave him a small smile. "Maybe. Can't promise anything." She said as she stuck her tongue out at him and he laughed.

"I think you bring a lot of life into this school. You're very bright and intriguing. Something the Dueling Academy needs, young blood."

"Young? Hey Miser, I'm the same age you are!" she said while eyeing him a bit.

"That you are," he said as the bell rang from the school. "Time for class," he said as he leaned over a kissed the top of her head then walked off. A kiss on top of the head, you do that to siblings! Frustrated she collected her belongings and set back towards her room. She didn't feel like attending the rest of her classes after that let down.

She walked out of the girls locker room and smiled when her eyes landed on Chazz she walked over to him and snuck up on him and put her hands over his eyes, "Guess who?" she whispered giggling Chazz actually smiled and held her hands in his hands "Hey...you ready to go to lunch together?" he said actually winking at her.

She nodded and they began to walk down the hall together his two cronies walking behind them...they were still very stunned at Chazz' behavior toward a Slifer Red student...that he seemed to start liking...

They reached the lunchroom and sat all the way in a corner and began talking about what they should be dressed up as for the Halloween costume dance.

Makki lied in the dormitory when Bastion came to look for her. "What are you doing in here?" he asked while sitting down on the bed next to her.

"Skipping…"

"Bad lunch with Zane?"

"I guess you can say that…"

He pulled her up into a sitting position and played with the tips of her hair slightly. "Don't let him get you down," he said while smiling. "You look like you barely ate! Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria." When Makki wouldn't budge to leave the safety of her room, Bastion when to the extreme length of lifting her up and throwing her over his shoulder and carrying her to the food hall. They sat down with Jaden, Syrus, and Alexis, at the table right next to Chazz and Jade.

"Makki!" yelled Jaden as he almost pounced across the table at her. He managed to make it onto the table but not across it as Alexis pulled him back.

"Don't do that! What are you, crazy!" she yelled as the cowboy sounding lackey of Chazz' turn to watch them.

Makki giggled at Jaden's attempt to make her feel better, which worked.

Chazz growled slightly from the noise behind him as he turned around. "Do you mind? Some of us are trying to have lunch here?"

"Nope, not at all," answered Jaden as he only grinned at the angry student. Syrus sunk down so only his hair was visible above the table, Alexis sighed at Jaden's behavior, Bastion sweat dropped as Makki chuckled, which earned her a glare from Chazz.

"You need to learn to lighten up…" she told Chazz as she pointed her fork full of ramen at him.

"I don't have to lighten up!" he growled at her then began eating again.

Jade sighed as she looked at Jaden "Is that kid always like that?" she asked Chazz while setting her fork back down onto the table and picking up her bowl of sushi and started to eat it.

"Unfortunately yes...he's an idiot all the time...its a miracle he beat me last year at duel monsters." He said leaning back in his chair and looking up at the ceiling sadly.

"You...beaten in duel monsters!" she said a lil shocked...Chazz nodded "Yea but I didn't do my best. I should have practiced more...and I swear to god that somehow he cheated," He yawned and closed his eyes.

Jaden ignored the remarks Chazz was making behind him and just chewed down on his lunch. Makki ate a bit more of lunch and stood up. "I'm done…" she said while looking down at Bastion. She can tell her roommate was concerned for her, "I'll be fine, I promise." She left the room and strode off down the hallway. She wanted to go somewhere, but didn't know where that place was. She turned the corner without paying attention and fall to the floor when she walked into someone. "Sorry…" she said as she rubbed her head and opened her eyes up to see who she hit. She had been doing that a lot lately…her eyes widen at the sight as she stood up and tackled over the figure. "Seto Kaiba!"

Kaiba looked down at her and smiled, "Is that a place for a good duelist?" he asked as he helped her to her feet. She threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "What color are these?" he asked while picking at the yellow collar of her shirt.

She blushed slightly and swatted his hand away. "I'm in Ra Yellow…" She knew he assigned her to Obelisk Blue, but she had it switched. She still had a room available for her in the Obelisk dorm, but when she wanted it switched, they placed her in Bastion's room but kept the Obelisk room open if she came to change her mind. "So how is your wife, Saphira?"

"She is fine. She is at home taking care of some business at Kaiba Corp while I am here visiting," he answered with a shrug. "Where are you off to?"

"Um, just no where…" she said while laughing slightly, "Just got done with lunch and was heading off to find someone…"

"A boy, someone?" he asked knowing her past with Bakura.

"Yeah…he is an Obelisk Blue student here…" she answered while smiling sheepishly.

"Ah, so he is a winner…" he answered and patted her shoulder. "Stay with the best," he said as they heard a voice yelling from up the hallway.

"Miss Ishtar, what are you doing out in the halls at this time, do you want to be punished?" came a harsh voice from behind Kaiba.

"Dr. Crolwer…" said Makki as Seto turned around to face the teacher.

"Don't speak to her like that…" he commanded him as Crolwer shrunk back away from the verbal attack.

"Mr. Kaiba!" he said while laughing nervously, "I did not know you were arriving early!"

They spoke a while and Seto turned to leave with the cross-dressing man. "I'll see you around…"

Makki sent out a breath of relief as she trotted off towards the light house. She knew sometimes Zane came here because she saw Alexis follow him to the exact spot. And there he was…standing there staring out over the ocean. "Zane…" she said as she ran off to meet him.

"Makki?" he turned to look at her as she ran down to him and smiled slightly.

Chazz sat with Jade in the lunch room while staring up at the ceiling. The cafeteria was slowly filing out. His two followers soon left him there with the Slifer Red student and went to class.

"I don't see what he sees in her…she is a low class duelist…" said the deep voiced student.

"Yeah…I know what you mean…" said the cowboy one.

"Ignore them," he said to Jade as the left. He turned to look at her and offered a weak smile. "They are nothing but annoying wannabes. Come on, let's go for a walk…" he helped her out of her seat and took her hand in his and walked out of the cafeteria. They were walking down the hallway until voices were heard coming their way. One Chazz recognized as Crowler, the other, he never knew. The two men came into sight from around the corner. Jade stopped at the sight of her cousin-in-law, Seto Kaiba.

Jade chuckled nervously and Chazz hid behind her for some unknown reason "Hehe...hi cousin..." she said as Kaiba and Dr. Crowler stopped talking to look at them...

Crowler looked from Jade to Chazz then back again he growled at her. "Miss. Izumaki? What are you doing out in the halls at this time!" he yelled at her. Kaiba turned around and gave him a threatening look which made Crowler cower in fear "Don't talk to my cousin like that Crowler...and why isn't she in Obelisk! All I see on her is the damn Slifer uniform!" said Kaiba growling at him.

"He wouldn't let me into Obelisk Seto...he said I belonged in Slifer along with the rest of the wannabe duelists!" Crowler gulped "I never said that you lil ingrate!" just then Kaiba actually pushed him up against the wall with just one arm blocking his chest Kaiba glared at him.

"By this time tomorrow I want my lil cousin in Obelisk Blue, you got that Crowler...or I'll have you fired immediately!" he said now dropping him and walking furiously out of the hallway.

Crowler glared at Jade and then also left...as soon as both of them left Jade giggled..."Well that was fun...I actually got a teacher in trouble," she said looking back at Chazz.

Makki spent the day with Zane out by the ocean as Jade spent the day with Chazz. That night Makki walked into her dorm room as Bastion looked at her. "You got a message today," he said while handing her an envelope.

She took the sealed object and opened it. "It is a summon…" she said while running over the letter. "They want to see me to discuss my position in the school…"

"You don't think it is anything bad, do you?" he asked while looking at her with concern in his eyes.

"I hope not…I like it here in the Duel Academy and I don't want to leave…" she said while heading out the door. "I'll see you later…"

She walked to the headmaster's office and stepped inside. In there was that new girl from Slifer Red. "Please take a seat, Miss Ishtar," said Headmaster Sameshima.

"Yes, sir," she said as she took a seat next to the Slifer student.

"You must be wondering why I called you two down here tonight. We had a visitor earlier, as you know, Seto Kaiba, and he was not pleased with the position you two were given. Starting tomorrow, you both will be placed in the Obelisk Blue dormitory, sharing Miss Ishtar's room that was assigned to her late last year."

Makki saw that Jade was smiling and approved of the decision, but Makki was appalled. "But Headmaster, I love it in Ra Yellow!" she said while standing up and placing her hand over her chest. "It means more to me to be in that class than a higher class!"

"We come to a conclusion that you shouldn't be sharing a room with a member of the opposite sex, and that your talents belong in a higher level. There will be no arguing of the point; starting tomorrow you will be sharing a room with Miss Izumaki. If you do not approve of this decision, then I don't see you having a place in the Duel Academy. That is final."

Makki felt defeated as she fell back into her chair. She couldn't believe this! "Yes, sir…" she answered as he went on explaining things. She didn't belong in Obelisk Blue. Her friends would be pleased that she is finally placed where they seem she was fit to be, but what about her? What about what she wanted? She glanced over at her new roommate. The girl seemed intelligent and well kept. Maybe she belonged in Obelisk Blue, but why Makki also?

"You both are dismissed to spend your last night in your dormitories," announced the headmaster as they both stood up to leave. They exchanged glances but didn't speak as they left the office building.

Makki walked back to her room and walked inside slowly. Bastion looked up at her questionably. "What happened?"

"I've just been upgraded…I start my semester in Obelisk Blue tomorrow…"

Jade smiled and ran out of the room to go and tell Chazz who was waiting out side in the hallway she tackled him and accidentally pinned him to the ground Chazz laughed and hugged her tightly "Jeez, what's got you so happy?"

"I've just been put into obelisk blue! and my room is going to be right next to yours!" she said giggling helping him up she smiled and held his hand tightly as he walked her to the Slifer dorms...something he's never done before...

Bastion was no where to be around the next morning. Makki took her shower and started packing her things up. She was hoping he would pop in at any moment, but he didn't. She sighed as she moved all her stuff up to her Obelisk dormitory. Her roommate wasn't around which meant Makki had dibs on everything. She did anyway because it was HER room. She started to place her things in rightful places. She pulled out her new uniform and changed into the blue clothing. "Clashes with everything…" she mumbled as she left her room to go find her friends. Only Bastion knew that her dorm was being changed, unless he told others. Alexis and Zane were walking down the hall and stopped when they saw Makki.

"Makki! You are wearing an Obelisk uniform!" shouted Alexis as she hugged her friend. "This is so cool!" Zane noticed that Makki was not very happy with the news so he didn't say anything about it. Alexis noticed the strange shift in the air. "Well, I have to go find Jaden. I heard that a Slifer student is being upgraded too. I'll see you two later!" she called as she ran down the hallway.

"Not pleased with an upgrade?" asked Zane quietly.

"No, it isn't that. I just don't see why…I was fine in Ra Yellow," she said sadly.

"Well, think of it this way…you get to see me more often," he said while smiling softly down at her which made her blush.

"True, true." She said while turning her head slightly away.

"And my room is just down the hall from you," he commented which made her blush even more.

"I'll come visit you some time…" she said softly.

"I'll like that," he answered while leaning down and kissing her cheek. "I have to be going, I have work to do." He said as he started off down the hall. Silence soon followed until it was broken by the sound of voices approaching. Jade and Chazz appeared walking towards her.

Jade was still in her uniform from Slifer red that she was wearing last night she and Chazz were walking together and his two cronies were carrying her suitcases and struggling with them...they were walking down the hallway hand in hand like usual they stopped in front of them Jade then crossed her arms.

"Well well well...look who it is...my new roommate..." she said in a teasing manner...her hair was a bit messed up and so was Chazz' for some particular reason. The 2 lackeys then fell to the ground from carrying all of Jades things Chazz turned around to glare at them.

Makki sent a glare over at Jade, it had to have been her fault on why she was upgraded. "Don't think you are anything special, new girl. After all, you were the one placed in Slifer Red at the beginning of the term. You were placed there for your poor skills, intelligence, and attitude. Touch anything that doesn't belong to me in my room, and I'll break your arm." She said as she glared also at Chazz. "Looks like you go for the high ego maniacs." She really didn't like Chazz because of all the trash he talks about Jaden. "But his skills fail to compare to that of other Obelisks…maybe he should have been downgraded to join you in Slifer, not the other way around…" she sneered. Chazz' lackeys just stared at her. No one ever spoke like that to Chazz, let alone someone close to him, like a girlfriend. "If you are so in keen to being with your boy toy, why don't you share a room with him?"

"Makki?" Came a voice from behind her as she turned to see Alexis.

"Alexis," she smiled, her mood changing as she turned and left the four to walk with her friend.

"What was that all about?" she asked while glancing back at an angry Chazz and Jade.

Makki scratched her head a bit. "I don't know…"

Chazz growled and prepared to run at her but Jade held him back she then yelled at her "When I tell my cousin what you just said to me you'll be sorry! And I could get a room with him if I wanted to!"

She said growling at her eyes flashing.

Makki turned around and saw both of the students angry. "Hiding behind your cousin, still? How pitiful. Can't you do anything on your own? Or do you always have to have someone back you up?" she asked while placing her hands on her hips. "Good, then go get a room with him. I don't want you in my room. I would rather share a room with a more respectable duelist. You were and always will be Slifer scum. You only made it into Obelisk Blue because you are nothing more than a whiney little brat. And don't you even go on saying shit about me being in Ra Yellow. I choose to be there rather than Obelisk Blue. Seto Kaiba saw that I have the skills and intelligence to be in Blue, he tested me personally himself in both the written exam and the dueling exam. If you have a problem, you take it up with him," she said while growling and looking over at the two. "And go ahead Chazz, hit me if you wish. Won't show good on your record if you abuse women."

Alexis stood there quite shaken at the argument. "I think you guys need to calm down…"

Clearly no one had heard her since the fight still raged on. "Makki…"

Makki turn around and came faced to Zane, and then everyone went quiet.

She growled and then it was Chazz' turn to hold her back. She didn't even care about Zane being there.

"That's it...I'll make sure you never disrespect a member of the Kaiba family again!" She said trying to fight off Chazz and his cronies.

She pushed them off of her Chazz was gently pushed though "Jade...baby...she's not worth it," he said putting a hand on her shoulder she then nodded,"I guess your right...I don't need to waste my strength on some pathetic scum."

The two lackeys go and drops the stuff but then groan as she points them in the direction of Chazz' room...where she would really be staying "Sorry boys...I'm not staying with her even if you paid me..." she said a they pulled her luggage down the hallway.

Makki became furious, "SCUM! I'll have you know that I am an Ishtar and if my brother had his way with Yugi that you wouldn't even be here!" she yelled at Jade as she stalked down towards the hallway and grabbed a hold of Jade and slammed her back into the wall. Zane and Alexis followed and held back Chazz and his two lackeys.

"Let them go," said Zane while looking down at Chazz, "It is their fight."

Makki glared at Jade, both being matched in height. "I don't care whose family you are part of, you don't insult any members of mine," she growled as she started shaking. "If you knew half the shit my family went through, you would have much more respect than what you have now!"

"Makki!" The other students took a step back as Seto Kaiba came over to the two girls. "Both of you, stop this right now!" Seto pulled Makki away from Jade and stood kinda between the two. "I would have expected more from you Makki than this behavior," he said while looking sternly down at her. "And you Jade, for wanting to take up the Kaiba name…The Ishtars are friends of the Kaiba family. I have personally worked with Miss Isis Ishtar." The two girls glared at each other as if fire were raging in their eyes. "You two," said Seto while pointing at Zane and Chazz, "Take Jade's things into her room. Then…" he turned towards Makki and Jade, "I want you both to apologize to each other and get over whatever is bothering you both. You both are condemned to your rooms for tonight, neither of you are to leave it," he said as he stood there and watched the luggage be placed in the room and Makki and Jade went in and slammed the door behind them.

Makki moved over to her bed and sat down upon it while glaring at Jade the whole time she put her stuff away. "Like I said, touch any of my stuff, and I'll break your arm right off its limb," she said as she growled. "You're just lucky Seto came by…" she said as she turned away from the enemy and opened up her class notebook. "May Anubis have mercy on your soul…" she murmured.
