Author's Note: I know that this is short notice, but I'm going to add some characters from Inuyasha to this story and a character that BEWK has generously given to me.

(English Smile Bomb)

Running in crowd in a faceless town, I need to feel the touch of a friend.

In the countryside I wander far and wide, the isolation gets me again.

I don't know where to go, when I feel like crying oh my, its time to open myself, do something new, I want to stop-and grow up a bit.

Then suddenly my power and confidence starts swelling up magically erupt, and it's all because of kindness that I feel, from people I don't even know.

Then suddenly my intuition and my wisdom grow and then I know, that most of all I sense compassions wield into strangers wherever I go.

Thank you for waking up!

Chapter 16

In the morning, an alarm clock woke up Syrus and the half-asleep Slifer turned it off. Syrus got his glasses on and looked at Jaden, who was still sleeping, after the alarm was set off. Syrus got off his bed and walked over to his fellow Slifer Red duelist and friend and shook him.

"Jaden, wake up!" Syrus told him, "You going to make us late!"

Jaden moaned, "Please, mom just a few more minutes of sleep." He said in his sleep

Just then there was a knock on the door, which in result Syrus sighed and walked towards the door. He opened the door to find Keiko, behind the door, which surprised Syrus.

"Keiko, what are you doing here!" Syrus asked, letting the brunette in

"Well, was on my way to get Ryoko and I hear you telling Jaden to wake up." Keiko replied, "For the record, Sy, in my heart this dormitory is my third home!" she added, "The reason I would consider this place my home is that with Ryoko, Jaden and you, I am home." She added, which resulted giving a hug from a happy Syrus, "Syrus, what are you doing?" Keiko asked

"I was getting the feeling that after you got promoted to Ra, you'd forget about us!" Syrus cried, clinging onto Keiko's waist

Keiko tried to get the crying Syrus to let go, "Come on Sy! I'm not cruel, now let go of me! You're get my blazer soaked, with your tears!" she yelled and laughed. "Okay Syrus, let go of me!" she demanded as she finally got Syrus off, "Sorry about that!" she said, "So, you can't get Jaden to wake up?"

"That's right!" Syrus replied walking over with Keiko to the sleeping Slifer, "It's impossible to get him to wake up."

"Oh really!" Keiko said, "Uh! Syrus, you might want to get away from here and cover your ears for this." She said, as Syrus closes his ears

Keiko puts her mouth close to Jaden's ear, "Jaden…" she says in a sweet voice, clears her throat and took a deep breath, "YOU'VE SLEPT LONG ENOUGH SO GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP NOW!" she yelled, which wakes up and freaks out Jaden and Chumley, who fell out his bed, "Morning already!" he complained, rubbing his eyes and backside

Jaden yanks his ear out of Keiko's grip and rubs, "Gees that hurt!"

"Well, you didn't wake up at the sound of the alarm." Syrus said

"Did you have to yell that loud, Keiko?" Jaden complained, "You almost busted my eardrum!"

Keiko folded her arms, "Funny, you didn't wake up at the sound of that alarm, so I'm guessing that your eardrum is already busted!" she said

Jaden rubbed his ear with his finger, 'Gees, how can Yusuke up with her?'

Meanwhile, in Japan, a fifteen year old girl named Kagome Higurashi was running in the streets of Japan.

"Argh! Damn, how could I've been so fucking late?" Kagome cursed himself, "Its see KC2 Duel Disk, check. Duel Monster Deck, check, oh man I'm so late!" she yelled as she ran, with a big yellow backpack on her back

"What I would give to have Inuyasha's demon speed, right about now!" she said and then let out a moan, "If I pass this test, I've go to Duel Academy and become the best duelist in the world, that is if I get there in time.

While in the Kaiba Corporation, in a room a small thirteen year old boy, with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a jet blue school uniform was dueling his proctor. This boy was a nervous wreck.

Outside the building, people in suits were waiting. One of the suits looked at his watch, "She's not here yet!"

"Come on, give the poor kid some time left, she only has one minute to get here." Said the other one

"Wait!" came a feminine squeal

The suits looked to see that Kagome running their way and stopped before them and panted.

"Well, young lady you had just made it." The suit said

The girl looked at the suits, "Name, please!" the suits asked

"Kagome Higurashi!" the girl replied

"Well, Miss Higurashi, your dueling proctor will be in room R-102."

Kagome bowed, "Thank you!" then ran in the building

"Uh! Miss. Higurashi!" one of the suit called out

Kagome turned to him, "Yes, sir!"

"You don't have to run, you're on time now." he said, with a smile

"Right!" she said, walking to the designated room

"I guess that this must be the place!" Kagome said, walking into the room

"I see that you've arrived, Miss. Higurashi." Said the proctor

"Yeah, ma'am!"

Kagome's proctor was a blonde with blue eyes, wearing a blue uniform, "Shall we get started?"

Kagome nodded in reply, "Uh! Huh!"

They arrived at the dueling testing field and the duel commence with the proctor having the upper hand and ended with Kagome winning the duel, "Congratulations, Miss. Higurashi and welcome to Duel Academy!" the proctor said

"Thank you!" Kagome said then walking away and glanced at the spiky blonde boy was sitting in a chair, by the stands, nervously fidgeting his thumbs.

Kagome walked to the boy, "Hey, are you trying out for the academy?" she asked

The boy took on good look at Kagome, he freaked out and looked down, "Yeah, I a-lready-y did-d!" he stuttered

"You didn't do so well"

"Actually, I w-w-won my d-duel!"

"Well congratulations, hopefully we'll see each other in the academy!"

The boy's face went red, like he was blushing, "Y-ye-yeah, me too!"

Kagome couldn't see that he was blushing, "Oh by the way, my name is Kagome Higurashi, what's yours?"

"J-Jordan Sabre, my name is Jordan Sabre." The boy replied, "Excuse me!" he added getting up from his seat and then running off

"Weird kid," she said to herself

Jordan rushed into the bathroom and towards the sink, "Oh man, that was close!" he said turning on the foist, letting the water pour to his hands then splashed it to his face and turns off the water, "If only she knew," he said, "That anytime that I'm around girls, my age or older, I get nervous."

While outside, by the pier, Kagome was standing looking at the sky, "I can't believe that I actually won that duel." She said to herself, "Hey Kagome," came a voice

The blackette turned to see Inuyasha, with a red baseball cap walking towards her and bead necklace on his neck. Kagome was alarmed that this boy was hear, "Inuyasha, what are you doing here!" she yelled

Inuyasha stopped before her, "I came to see if you won this 'duel' of yours!"

Kagome's anger seemed to go down a bit, "Well, I did win!"

Inuyasha sighed, "Are you sure that this 'Duel Academy' that you're going is safe there for you to go alone?"

"Of course, it's safe, Inuyasha!"

"Well, I don't like those 'halo grams' that much for you to go alone."

Kagome giggled, "It's holograms, Inuyasha!" she said, with a smile, "There's not real, just lights grouped together." She added, activating her duel disk and placing a monster card on the disk, "I summon Shining Angel in attack mode!" she declared

Then, a human-sized fairy with white clothing appeared (1400/800).

"It's that Shining Angel monster of yours!" Inuyasha exclaimed, putting his head through her stomach. He was freaked out that his hand actually went through the stomach, "See! It's not real, only lights!" Kagome told him

"Yeah but that 'duel' that you had with your mother some of those monster attacks hit you real hard!"

"That's because the technology from KaibaCorp are so advanced that you could actually feel the monster attacks, but not enough to hurt or kill you." Kagome explained, then the angel disappeared and she deactivated her duel disk

"Yeah, well I still don't like those things." Inuyasha told her, "Let me come with you!"

"What!" Kagome replied, "Hell no!"

"What!" Inuyasha yelled, "Why not?"

"Because they only allow duelists there, that's why and you're no duelist!" she told him, "Besides, suppose one of the students see you? They'll no doubt tell Chandler Shepherd and have the police and scientists coming to the island take you away to do some kind of weird test on you. Meanwhile, they'll realize that I brought you and have me expelled from the school!"

"Why do you want to go to this school?"

"Because, I want to be a better duelist than I was at home and to become the first Queen of Games!"

"Queen of Games?"

"Yeah, that's right! After all, there's the King of Games title so why can't there be a Queen of Games title? I just want that title, just as you want to become a strong demon."

"Yeah, that's true!" Inuyasha said and remembered something, "Oh yeah!" he got out a box out of his kimono and gave it to Kagome, "Here! Your mother wanted you to have this."

Kagome took the box, "Thanks!" she said then opening it, "A cell phone?"

Inuyasha looked at her with confusion, "What's a cell phone?"

"A cell phone is a phone that people use to call people outside their homes." She replied, "I'll give her a call to tell her that I won the duel." She said getting the phone got out and dialing the number, "Hey mom, this is Kagome, I just wanted to let you know that I won the entrance exam and the boat to Duel Academy Island will be arriving shortly. Thanks for the cell phone, I'll be sure to call you." She said then hanging up

"Hey Kagome, I think I found one of those duel monster cards in the box." Inuyasha said, giving the blackette the card, "It's a Chaos Wingweaver the Angel of Destiny fusion monster card!"

"A what?"

"Chaos Wingweaver the Angel of Destiny is a rare fusion monster that can be summoned by three Wingweaver monster cards and one Polymerization spell card. Its attack points are 5200 while its defense is at 4000. Plus, it has some neat special abilities, see when it attacks opponent's monster, the attack of that destroyed monster is considered damage to a player's life points. Whenever my opponent has one monster on the field, this monster can't be destroyed by result of battle. Whenever my opponent has two monsters the attack of this card is doubled. Whenever my opponent has three monsters, this card can negate the effects of my opponent's spell, trap, and monster effects and destroys them. Whenever my opponent has four monsters, this card can destroy all of my opponent's monsters. The control of this card can't be switched."

"Okay, so it's that powerful, huh?"

"Yeah, it's so rare that there's only two in the world, I wonder how my mom got this."

"Well, this game is still so confusing, how in the hell can you play it, while remembering the rules?" Inuyasha asked, holding his head, "It's so confusing that my head is about to explode!"

Kagome giggled at that comment, "I'm definitely going to miss your sense of humor, Inuyasha."

"Hey Kagome!" came a voice

Kagome turned to see her family was running towards her, "Mom, Grandpa!"

"So you won your duel?"

"Yeah, I'm going to miss you guys."

"Be careful, Kagome!" Inuyasha said

Kagome sighed, "Yes Inuyasha, I'll be fine don't worry!"

Later after saying goodbyes, Kagome and Jordan left the pier and going to Academy Island. Jordan was in his room, studying his deck and hiding from young ladies.

'I hope that I can make Asuka-onee-chan proud of me.' He thought
