(Japanese Smile Bomb)

In a crowded city, as I bump shoulders, I'm alone. On an endless prairie, as the wind whistles by, I'm all alone.

Which one is it that makes me want to cry more, I wonder. Marking it with twin circles, I feel a bit more grown-up!

It must be, that when I run into these terribly difficult walls, and unexpectedly, for whatever reason, The courage and power to break through rises up from within, All because of how, when I run into these terribly difficult people, they show me kindness, I bet!

Thank you very much!

Chapter 11

While at class, Professor Banner was teaching about the equations to duel monsters and everyone with the exception Jaden, who had his head back, sleeping in class, was taking notes.

Yusuke was taking some notes, until a so familiar snore was disturbing him. He knew that Jaden was sleeping in class, again. 'Not again, he'll be a Slifer for life if he keeps falling asleep in class!' he thought

However, Yusuke wasn't the only one annoyed at the lazy Slifer, Keiko was trying to take good notes and Jaden's snore wasn't helping. She glared at the sleeping brunette, 'To think that this is the guy, who defeated three Obelisks and tied with a Ra, just this morning.' She thought as she looked at the sleeping Jaden, 'It's like I'm dealing with Yusuke, when he was sleeping or skipping in class, but now Yusuke isn't nodding off like this lazy bum or skipping class! Then again, this is a dueling school and Yusuke isn't the type of person that would fall a sleep or skip this kind of class but on the other hand this school isn't all that different from a normal school.' She thought and glanced at Yusuke, who was seating in front of her, 'If this school isn't any different from a normal school, Yusuke would be skipping but he's sitting there paying attention, which isn't normal for him and wearing a different uniform, unless I'm threatening him. This is freaking me out, here!'

Just then, Jaden's snoring became even louder that it would break Keiko out of her thoughts. The annoyed brunette couldn't take much of this, "Jaden, wake up!" she said, quietly and shaking him, "You're making us look bad, you oaf!" that didn't work. Keiko wanted to elbow Jaden's ribs, but it wasn't in her nature to hit people who didn't do anything to her or people, that she just meet and hadn't done anything to harm her. However, this was starting to irritate her, 'I know, I'll just picture Jaden as Yusuke, sleeping in class.' She did picture Yusuke, in his old uniform, sleeping in the same position as Jaden and without hesitation, elbowed Jaden's ribs hard.

"OUCH!" Jaden yelled for everyone to hear, including Prof. Banner, as he was waking up.

"Jaden, is something wrong?" Prof. Banner asked, "You need to see the nurse!"

Jaden looked at the professor, "Uh just hit my ribs at the table that's all!" he lied and glared at Keiko

'He's making us, Slifers look like a bunch of fools!' both Syrus and Ryoko thought

'No doubt, he was sleeping!' Kari, Alexis and Bastion thought rolling their eyes with a sweat drop at their temples

Chazz glared at Jaden, 'What a slacker!' he thought

"That hurt!" Jaden snapped at his fellow brunette Slifer, rubbing his ribcage

Keiko glared at Jaden, "Well, if you weren't falling a sleep as always, I won't have to do that, now would I? Besides, you were disturbing me!" she whispered

"Ouch! That blow made it fun being hit by a baseball bat," Jaden muttered to himself at the same time rubbing his ribcage

Yusuke could hear what Jaden said and he couldn't help but snicker, 'Welcome to my world, Jay!'

Later was Dr. Crowler's turn to teach and as always he was given the class a pop quiz.

"A Spell Card is a green card that can be only be activated or Set during Main Phases. The only exception to this rule is Quick-Play Spell Cards. A Trap Card is a purple card that can by activated any time after the start of the next turn providing the requirements for activating the Trap Card have been met." Yusuke explained, "There are many types are magic cards normal, continuous, equip, field and quick-play spell cards. As for trap cards, normal, continuous and counter trap cards, sometimes there could be equip trap cards like Blast with Chain, Kunai with Chain and Metalmorph and there are some monster cards that can be used as equip spell cards."

Dr. Crowler applauded, "Perfect as always, Yusuke, my boy, I would expect anything less from the brother of one of the best duelists in this school."

"Thank you, Dr. Crowler!" Yusuke said, sitting down, "It was only basic knowledge though."

Keiko rolled her eyes at this, 'Oh please, he already knew that before coming to this school.'

"Now, whose next!" the doctor said, "You, Keiko Ukimura!"

The brunette got up, "Yes sir!"

"Please, explain what is an equip spell card!" Dr. Crowler commanded

'Oh brother, I know the answer to this question.' Keiko thought, "An equip spell card is a spell card that modifies the strength of face-up monsters, only. However, you may equip either your own or your opponent's monster cards with them. If the equipped monster is destroyed, its equip spell card is also destroy along with it. You can equip one monster with more than one monster. Like Mr. Urameshi said, equip cards can be trap or monster cards, with a special ability." She explained

"That's perfect, Ms. Ukimura, please sit down!" which she did in reply, "See, you Slifer Slackers should follow her example at all times!" Dr. Crowler barked, pointing at Keiko, making her feel a bit embarassed

Yusuke couldn't believe that he heard Keiko say of that and was hoping that she wouldn't be put in Ra, with him.

"Now, who's next?" Dr. Crowler said and eyed Kari, "Hikari Urameshi!"

Kari got up, "Yes sir!"

"What is the origin of Duel Monsters?"

"The origin of Duel Monsters dates back in Ancient Egypt and based on a 5,000 year old game, when in ancient times summoned by pharaohs and sorcerers to do their bidding. Nevertheless, the monsters were too powerful and rampaged out of control, bringing the earth to the brink of destruction. A brave and powerful Pharaoh used his magic to seal the monsters away in stone tablets. Nevertheless, evil sorcerers learned to release the monsters from the stone, and waged war against the Pharaoh. Pharaoh and his servants battled these traitors in a place called the Shadow Realm, where monsters and warrior battled in, what called the Shadow Games. The pharaoh locked the magic of the Shadow Games away, sealing the energies of the games within seven mystical items called, Millennium Items. Maximillon Pegasus discovered this game and decided to reinvent it for modern times, as cards." She explained

"Perfect explanation, Hikari dear, as always!" Dr. Crowler said

"Thank you, Dr. Crowler!" Kari said, sitting down

Dr. Crowler eyed at Jaden and formed a grin, 'Perfect chance to give Jaden Yuki, the same humiliation he gave me.' He said, "Jaden Yuki!"

Jaden gets up, "Yes sir!"

"What were the seven mystical items that were used to seal away the shadow games? Then, name each one."

"The items were called, Millennium Item. The items were the Millennium Puzzle, Millennium Ring, Millennium Eye, Millennium Key, Millennium Rod, Millennium Necklace and Millennium Scale." Jaden replied, to Dr. Crowler's displeasure

"That's a good job, Mr. Yuki!" the doctor said, in irritation, "Please sit down!" he said, with annoyance, 'Lucky brat!'

"I'm surprised that you would know about these things, Jaden." Ryoko said, "Considering, you've been sleeping through class."

"Actually, Yusuke has helped me by letting me see his notes." Jaden said

"Yeah and that's what saved you from humiliation, Jaden…" Yusuke muttered

"That's all for today's lesson, class dismissed!" Dr. Crowler declared as the students getting out but eyed at Keiko, who was leaving her seat, "Oh Ms. Ukimura, would you come here for a second, there's something we need to discuss."

The Slifer came to the half-sexed duelist PhD, "Yes, Dr. Crowler!" she said

"I believe that you need to be apologized."

Keiko raised an eyebrow, "For what?"

Dr. Crowler sighed, "It's a concern about your entrance exam, dear."

Keiko gasped in hoping that her score wasn't very low that she'd have to leave Duel Academy, "What happened?"

"Well, during the dueling part of the exam you did defeat your proctor the scores were accurate but in your written exam wasn't accurate at all."

"Dr. Crowler, what are you saying?" Keiko asked, hoping that she's didn't actually failed a test

"Keiko, I'm saying that instead of a 73, you got an 82 which was one point higher than Hikari Urameshi's younger brother, Yusuke, which was an 81." Dr. Crowler said, with a smile

Keiko sighed for relief, "How did my test get graded wrong?" she asked, in an almost pissed off tone

"Well, it appeared that the proctor was drunk and graded your test wrong."

"What happened to him?"

"Well, Mr. Kaiba, himself, was furious that a test was graded wrong at his watch and had the incompetent fool fired for his error. To make up for our error, we, the staff, will promote you to a Ra Yellow duelist, if you beat one of my Obelisk Blue students in a duel." Dr. Crowler said, "Besides, your dueling skills are wasted in Slifer and I can't have you be ranked as a Slifer Slacker any longer."

Keiko couldn't believe that, she would be a Ra Yellow, if she beats an Obelisk Blue student in a duel. That it came to her, "AN OBELISK BLUE STUDENT!" she yelled, "Dr. Crowler, don't know what to say."

Just then, Yusuke was at by the entrance of the classroom and could hear what Dr. Crowler told Keiko, that she could be a Ra Yellow, like him if she can beat an Obelisk. Of course, he can't let that happen, so he had to find an Obelisk student that was so ruthless that she would be crying home to mommy. Just then, it came to him when his saw a familiar face walking pass him, Chazz Princeton. As soon as Yusuke saw Chazz, 'Chazz is that ruthless to Slifers!'

Yusuke walked up to the Obelisk, "Hey Chazz!" he said, putting his hand on Chazz's shoulder

Chazz glared at the Ra student, "Well, if it isn't the Ra Yellow, who humiliated me in front of those new Slifers, what do you want, now?"

"Are you still mad over the defeat that I handed you yesterday?"

Chazz snorted, "I don't have time to deal with you, Yusuke, now get your hand off me!" he demanded, he jerk Yusuke's hand off him

"Could you just hear me out, you jerk!" Yusuke said/yelled

Chazz rolled his eyes, "Fine, you got three minutes, slacker!"

Yusuke ignored the insult, "You know those new Slifer kids!"

"Yeah, what about them?"

"Well, one of them got their written part of their entrance exam graded wrong and Dr. Crowler wanting her to become a Ra Yellow duelist, because of their mistake."

"So!"

"Crowler is going to ask an Obelisk student to duel her and I want you to ask him to duel her."

"Why me, why can't you ask either your sister or Alexis?"

"Because they're not as ruthless as you are to Slifers."

Chazz snorted, "The offer seems tempting, but I'll decline!"

"What! Why the hell not!"

"Because dealing with Slifers aren't worth my time, especially new Slifers!" Chazz said, "Now, get out of my way, you slacker!"

Yusuke couldn't let this go one bit and went to plan B, "Okay, I guess that I'll tell everyone in Ra Yellow and Slifer Red that Chazz Princeton is the number one coward!" Yusuke said, with sneer

That one got Chazz to stop, "You wouldn't dare!" he said, glaring at Yusuke

"Oh I would, unless you consider my offer."

Chazz growled, "Why is it that you want me to take down this particular person?"

Yusuke isn't sure how to answer him, "Whatever it is, I really don't care, but I do really about my reputation, though." Chazz said and smirked, "Yeah, you've got yourself a deal, slacker, so who's the unlucky amateur that I'm taking out?"

Yusuke smirked, "Keiko Ukimura, I want her to not only to feel the agony of defeat but total humiliation, so much that she never comes back to this school, ever."

"How would your Slifer friends feel about this, when they find out, including your sister? You know would they feel about this."

"Just leave everything to me!"

"Okay, later, slacker!" Chazz said, walking off

Yusuke was glad that the deal was maid, "What were you doing?" came a voice

Yusuke turned to see Jaden and Alexis behind him, "Oh hi guys!"

"Don't 'hi' us, Yusuke what the hell are you doing with Chazz Princeton?" Alexis asked

"Oh nothing!" Yusuke said, trying to look away from the blonde-brunette's glare, "I've go to go study for the test tomorrow!" he said, trying to walk off, but Alexis grabbed him by the back of his blazer, "We don't have a test tomorrow. You're hiding something aren't you!"

"Oh no!" Yusuke lied, "Of course, not!"

Alexis made Yusuke face her in the eye, by gripping his arms, "I can tell when someone is lying to me, Yusuke."

"Should we tell her, Yusuke?" Jaden asked

"Tell me, what?" Alexis asked the boys, "You two are hiding something aren't you?"

When it came to Alexis Rhodes, she can be a lot like either Kari or Keiko, making demon that Yusuke ever faced, seem like a tamed puppy, "Okay, I'll explain but prepare yourselves it going to be a very long story."

Alexis smirked, "Yusuke!" she said, in a sweetly voice and gripping his arms, "I'VE GOT ALL DAY SO YOU BETTER START TALKING!" she yelled that freaked Yusuke out

"Okay, I will!" which he did and Alexis couldn't help but feeling sorry for him

"Yusuke, I'm sorry that happened but you shouldn't be dealing with someone like Chazz Princeton, it's like making a pact with the devil himself." Alexis told him

"Yeah, I just wanted to get her out of my sight and give her a taste of what she did to me." Yusuke said, "If you want to get with any guy, just tell talk with your boyfriend about breaking up, don't get kiss any guy behind your boyfriend's back. It could really hurt a guy. Plus, she acts like nothing happened, like she didn't care about what she did to me."

The blonde haired Obelisk felt sorry for Yusuke more and more and beginning to understand why he would take great measures to do this, "Yusuke…"

"I appreciate you learning to me, guys." Yusuke said, beginning to walking off

Jaden and Alexis glanced at the Ra student, leaving them, "Yusuke, wait!" came a voice

Jaden and Alexis looked to see Keiko right behind them, trying to call for the former spirit detective but was ignoring her. Keiko wondered why Yusuke was ignoring her and ran up to him, but an arm blocked her way. Keiko looked up to see Alexis, glaring at her with her brown eyes, "Alexis, what are you doing?" she asked

Alexis puts her arm down, "I overheard your conservation with Dr. Crowler about your promotion duel."

"You did so are you my opponent?"

Jaden shook his head, "Your opponent for the promotion duel happened to be Chazz Princeton!"

Keiko's eyes widened, "Chazz Princeton! You mean the Obelisk that dueled both you and Yusuke."

"That's right and he's was a known bully to Slifers, before Kari straightened him up. However, in a duel with him against a Slifer, is like dueling the King of Hell, himself, its too gruesome." Alexis replied

"If that's the case then why did Dr. Crowler put me against him? And by the way, how did you guys know that he put me against Chazz, anyways."

Alexis sighed, "Yusuke, he asked Chazz to duel you and to spare you no mercy."

Keiko couldn't believe that Yusuke would do that to her at all. The snaps and cold stares were bad enough but setting her up with a duelist, who doesn't show any remorse to any Slifer, was totally the worst thing that he could do, "Alexis, when you and Kari were teaching Yusuke about restraining himself from starting a fight, with the Ra and Obelisk students, did you guys teach him how to teach his own girlfriend, like she was an unwanted disease?" she asked, then felt a hard blow to her left cheek, which knocked her down.

Keiko looked at the person, who was responsible for punching her. Alexis brought her fist down and glared at Keiko. Jaden couldn't believe that Alexis would do that, but who could blame her.

Keiko looked at Alexis, while having her hand on her sore cheek, "Alexis, why did you just do that?"

Alexis crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at the Slifer, "Because you deserved it!"

"What do you mean?"

"You called yourself Yusuke's girlfriend, when you did something that hurt him and you don't even care!" Jaden snapped, glaring at Keiko

"If I did something that hurt Yusuke, I would have tried talking him, which I couldn't because he doesn't even want me around him!"

"Why did you think Yusuke, wanted not to be expelled from this school? So, he wouldn't have to go back to the place, where he's feared and doesn't understand him, where he had a father, who was dead and a mother, who was a drunk and named a slutbag, when she gave birth to Kari, when she was our age! Plus, he'd have to put up with the person, who has known since he was four and thought she really cared him, but don't! That's why Yusuke wanted to throw way his old life as a street punk and to the world's best duelist, like his cousin, Yugi! The next King of Games, Yusuke Urameshi!" Jaden said, "And he can't do that with you around because you're a constant reminder of what his old life was like, full of hurt and despair, yet you have the nerve to show your face here!"

"You're wrong I didn't do anything to hurt Yusuke! I would never do that in a million years!" Keiko said

"Oh and what do you call kissing another guy on the lips and passionately too!" Alexis said

Keiko looked at Alexis, "What do you mean? I'd never kiss any guy, but Yusuke!"

"Two days before the day, before the dueling exam, Yusuke was on his way to your school. However, he found you in the arms of another guy and kissing with passionately, does that ring a bell!" Jaden said, crossing his arms

Keiko gasped at surprise, "He saw that?" she asked then felt a harsh grab of her blazer collar and pulled up by a pissed off Alexis, to face her.

"Yeah, he did!" Alexis replied, gripping the brunette's collar, "He felt his heart was ripped and tore apart, yet you don't even care!" she yelled then punched Keiko's another cheek hard, which pushed the brunette back to a wall a bit and Alexis then grabbed hold of Keiko's collar again, "How would you like it, when someone does that to you!" Alexis yelled at the brunette.

Just then, it came to Keiko, as she remembers the way Yusuke was acting towards her.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Hey Yusuke, you passed your test?" Keiko asked, walking towards him

"Yeah!" he replied coldly, as he got out of the way as the brunette was going to hug him. Keiko looked at Yusuke, thinking why he moved away from her hug.
