Chapter 17
Out at the pier, Alexis was standing looking at the ocean, with her arms folded.
'I can't believe that Jordan is coming here.' She thought, 'It's been a long time though. I wonder if he's still afraid of girls. If that's the case then I'd have to get the girls away from him. No one, expect for Zane, Kari and I knows Jordan's problem.'
While at the boat, Jordan cautiously got out of his room, because the boat was near the island, 'Good coast is clear!' he said getting out with his bags
At the pier, Alexis was looking at a picture of her and Jordan, younger versions and just then she heard footsteps coming towards her. The blonde-brunette Obelisk turned to see Yusuke, Jaden, Syrus, Mindy and Jasmine
"Hey Alexis, we've been looking all over for you." The blackette Obelisk said
"Yeah, why'd you left without telling anyone?" Jaden asked
Alexis sighed and walked towards them, "I've got a question, why are you guys doing here?"
"You've been looking everywhere for you." Yusuke replied, "You didn't show up for class."
"That's because my cousin, Jordan is coming here for enrollment to this academy."
"Your cousin?" Syrus asked, "How good is he?"
"Well he la……" she was cut off, when a boat horn was heard
Alexis knew the boat was here, "Okay, I want you guys to leave now!" she spat
"But, we want to meet this cousin of yours!" Yusuke said
"I don't mean you, Yusuke or Jaden nor Syrus!" Alexis told him, "I mean these two!" she said pointing at the two Obelisks
"Why do we have to leave?" Jasmine asked
"Yeah, why can't they leave?" Mindy asked, referring to Yusuke, Jaden and Syrus
Alexis didn't want to tell them, "Just because, now leave you two, now!" she demanded, "You two are just going to scare him away!"
"But Alexis…" the blackette asked
"But nothing, Mindy!" Alexis spat, losing her patience with the two Obelisks, "Now, I want you and Jasmine to stay away from Jordan, while he's here!"
"Why's that?" Jasmine asked
Alexis had her eyes closed, then her right eyebrow began to twitch in annoyance and a bright orange anime vein appeared on left side of her temple, as she growled, "Here's what, if you two aren't gone, when I count to three, then I won't be responsible for my actions of what happens to you two." She said, in a venomous tone, raising her anime vein produced right fist, "1……"
"Uh! Girls, for your safety, I suggest you leave, now." Yusuke said, in a panicking tone fearing that the two Obelisks are going to push their luck
"2……" Alexis counted clenching her fists and getting angrier by the second
"Yeah, because by the look on Alexis's face, she's gonna pound you two if you're not gone." Jaden added, in the same tone
Jasmine glared at Jaden, "Can it, Slifer Slacker!" she snapped
Yusuke stepped in, "Hey, we're only trying to tell you two to get lost because you're pushing your luck!"
Mindy glared at Yusuke, "Hey, Alexis would never hurt us!"
"3……" Alexis yelled as she grabbed Mindy by the collar and ram her fist to her right cheek, making the blackette fall to the ground, "If it means you scaring off my family member, than I would!" she yelled
"How would we do that, Alexis?" Jasmine asked
"That's it!" Alexis yelled charging at the female Obelisks
"This is going get ugly!" Syrus exclaimed
"Tired to warn them…" Yusuke said
"…but, would they listen? No." Jaden finished
After a while, after Alexis worked off her anger, the boat appeared at the pier. Jordan walked out of the boat and spotted Alexis and her friends, "Asuka-onee-chan!" he cried running towards her
Alexis turned to see a spiky haired boy running towards her, "Jordan!" she exclaimed happily with her arms preparing for a hug as Jordan jumped up to have his arms wrapped around Alexis's neck. Alexis returned the hug as she wrapped her arms around the boy's waist and back and picked him up, "It's so nice to see you, Asuka-onee-chan!" he said then kissed her cheek
Alexis rubbed Jordan's back and held him tight, "I know same here!" she said letting him go
"So, is this boy your cousin, Alexis?" Jaden asked
"Yeah, this is my cousin, Jordan Sabre!" Alexis replied, "These are my friends Yusuke Urameshi, Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale."
"Nice to meet ya, Jordan!" Jaden greeted, but earned him a glare from the blonde, "Yeah, same here!" Jordan replied and hid behind Alexis, "Hey guys, I'm going to show Jordan around the place, okay." Alexis said
"Hey, mind if we help?" Yusuke asked
"Uh! No that's okay, Yusuke, I can do this." Alexis insured walking away with Jordan
Yusuke made a wide grin and looked away from them, "Sure thing, Asuka-onee-chan!" he gagged, which earned him a rock thrown to his head by an aggravated Alexis, "Only Jordan is allowed to call me that!" she yelled then continuing to walk away with her cousin
Just then Kagome walked out of the boat, "So this is Academy Island, huh?" she asked herself looking around and spotted two boys, helping the boy, with the yellow blazer up, "Excuse me!" she called out running to them
The others looked at her, "Can you guys show me where's Duel Academy is?" she asked
"Sure! Are you a new student?" the brown haired boy, with the red blazer asked
"Yeah, my name is Kagome Higurashi!" Kagome replied, which followed the black haired boy, with the yellow blazer and another boy, who was short for his age with cerulean hair, wearing a red blazer to move away from her
"Hey, what's up, guys?" the brown haired boy asked
"Jaden, that girl is Kagome Higurashi the sick girl!" the little blunette told him
"What do you mean sick?"
"Sick as in real sick, Jaden!" the black haired boy said, "She's caught seventeen lethal if untreated diseases known to man!"
Jaden looked at Kagome, who had a sweat drop on her head, "She looks pretty fine to me!" Jaden said
"Thank you!" Kagome said
"By the way what diseases did you have?" Jaden asked, which made Kagome pull an anime fall and cursed her grandfather and his foney sick granddaughter stories
"She's gotten anthrax, diphtheria, cholera, mad cow disease, rabies, stroke, bladder infection, and an extremely rare case of small pox." The blunette explained
"I've heard about it as well, she had to stay home for at least two to three weeks!" black haired boy added
Kagome got up from the ground, "That's it, when I go back home, I'm going to have a serious talk to grandpa about these stories."
Jaden looked at Kagome again, "Still she does look fine to me though, by the way the name is Jaden Yuki and these are my friends, the small guy with the light blue hair is Syrus Truesdale and the one with the black hair is Yusuke Urameshi."
Kagome's eyes widened in fear, "Wait a minute, hold the phone, you mean to tell me that he's Yusuke Urameshi as in the 'Great Urameshi' the most feared street punk in Sarayashiki Junior High!" she squealed pointing at Yusuke
"Not anymore!" Yusuke replied, "I've thrown that title away ever since I've got to this island."
Kagome blinked and looked at Yusuke with confusion, "Wait so you're no longer called the 'Great Urameshi' anymore."
"Yeah, just call me 'Yusuke'."
"Hey Kagome, aren't you coming or not!" Jaden said
"I'm coming!" Kagome said, walking with her new friends
Meanwhile, Alexis showed Jordan, who has already have got his Slifer uniform on, around the island.
"So, what do you think of the place so far, Jordan?" Alexis asked
"It's great, Asuka-onee-chan!" Jordan replied
Alexis eyed her cousin, "You're still afraid of girls, aren't you?"
"Yeah, pretty much and the nightmares are just as horrible as ever."
"Alexis!" came a girl's voice, which scared Jordan and he hid behind Alexis
Alexis turned to see two girls, one with brown hair, wearing a female Ra Yellow uniform and the other blonde, wearing a Slifer Red uniform and a duel disk on her arm running to her.
"Hey girls!" Alexis greeted
"Hey, we've been looking all over for you!" the brunette Ra said
"Yeah and who's that behind you?" the blonde Slifer asked
Alexis eyed Jordan, who was behind her, "Oh this is my cousin Jordan Sabre. He's kind of shy to introduce himself."
"Oh nice to meet you, Jordan!" the brunette Ra said, "My name is Keiko and I'm a Ra Yellow. This is my friend, Ryoko and like you, she's a Slifer Red."
"Hello!" Ryoko waved
Jordan peeked his head out from Alexis's back, "H-hello!"
"I'm just showing Jordan around the place." Alexis said
"That's neat!" Ryoko said, "Hey Alexis, have you seen Yusuke around?"
"Well, the last time I saw him was that he, Jaden and Syrus were at pier, maybe still there," Alexis replied
"Thanks!" Keiko said running off with Ryoko
Meanwhile, Yusuke, Jaden and Syrus showed their new friend, Kagome to the school.
"Well Kagome," Syrus said, "Here's the school!"
Kagome looked at the school, "Wow, it's so big!" she exclaimed, "I wonder how much Seto Kaiba had to pay to get this school built!"
"Okay, I guess we'll have to show you where Chandler Shepherd's office is so you can get fitted to a uniform." Yusuke said
"Uniform?" Kagome asked, with a blink
After a few minutes later, Kagome, who had changed out of her clothes and into her new Slifer Red clothes, walked out the school with the boys.
"I can't believe that they make all the girls here wear these stupid boots!" Kagome said, "And all the time nonetheless!"
"Well that's the rule of this school!" Yusuke said
Kagome looked at Yusuke, "Since, when the Great Urameshi does cares about rules?"
Syrus glared at Kagome, "Hey, he's not the Great Urameshi anymore!"
Kagome put her hands in defense, "Whoa, sorry I must have forgotten!"
"Yusuke!" came a voice
The gang turned to see Kari, Keiko and Ryoko running towards them, "Hey girls!" Jaden greeted
Ryoko looked at Kagome, "Hey who's she?"
"This is our new friend, Kagome Higurashi!" Jaden replied, which made both Keiko and Ryoko move away quickly
"You mean that this girl is what people call the sick girl?" Keiko asked, which made Kagome pulled an anime fall
"Yeah she's gotten seventeen lethal diseases known to man!" Ryoko said
Kagome got up from her recent anime fall and Kari looked at her, "Well she looks okay to me!" Kari said
"Kagome let me introduce these girls!" Yusuke said, "The girl in the Obelisk Blue uniform is my older twin sister Hikari Urameshi, the one in the Ra Yellow uniform is my girlfriend, Keiko Ukimura and the one in the Slifer Red is her friend, Ryoko Lyon."
"Nice to meet you all and don't worry I'm not sick now!" Kagome told them
"Yeah, same here!" Ryoko said and looked at Yusuke, "Hey Yusuke, remember what I was told that you longer were the 'Great Urameshi'?"
"Yeah?" Yusuke replied, "What's your point?"
"Well, I still find it hard to believe that someone who's known to be a fighting demon for three years turn into a card player for almost 2 mouths."
"What are you getting at, Ryoko?" Syrus asked, with bitterness
"I'm proposing that Yusuke duels me in the Obelisk arena now!"
"WHAT!" everyone with the exception for Keiko yelled
"You've got to be kidding me?" Kagome said, "A Slifer wouldn't stand a chance in a duel with a Ra!"
"Well, it's known to be a fact here." Kari said, "Before both my brother, Jaden and Keiko came to this school. You see my brother, Yusuke has defeated two Obelisks, including myself and tied with a Slifer, which would be Jaden, who has defeated three Obelisks, including Dr. Crowler and his legendary monster, Ancient Gear Golem. As for Keiko, she's defeated one Obelisk, which is how she got promoted to a Ra yellow."
"Wow, I can't believe it!" Kagome exclaimed, "Two Slifers and a Ra yellow defeating Obelisk duelists."
"Yeah, I found it hard to believe that!" came a voice
Yusuke growled, "Only one person in the world, who has a voice that annoying!" he snapped
Everyone saw Chazz, who was standing in the front door of the school, with his arms crossed and had a serious expression on his face, "The reason why Obelisks would lose in a duel between a Ra Reject and two Slifer Slackers was because of luck. Nothing more!"
"Oh is that a fact, Chazz?" Keiko asked, "Or you just can't accept the fact that someone lower than you in rank has some skill that is superior to you?"
Chazz glared at Keiko, "No one is better than me, Keiko, got that!" he spat, "The reason why you, Yusuke and Jaden were able to beat me was only luck." Chazz then looked at Kagome, "Oh great another Slifer Slacker, I wonder where are holes that you pests are crawling out off."
Kagome's right eyebrow twitched, "Somehow I'm not surprised that I'd find cocky duelists in this school."
"If you're asking for rematch, Chazz, then I'm not interested in dueling someone who isn't worth my time!" Yusuke spat, "Meaning you!"
Chazz turned his glare to Yusuke, "I'm not challenging you to a duel, Yusuke," He told him, "See, the problem with a Slifer is one thing."
"Oh and what's that?" Jaden asked
"You're too ignorant for your own good." Chazz replied, "Yusuke being a Ra Yellow means him dueling a second-rate duelist like Ryoko is just a waste of time."
"Second-rate!" Ryoko yelled, "For your information, I was one of the best duelists in my old school, so I don't know where the hell you get off calling me a second-rate duelist, Chazz!"
Chazz snorts, "Oh is that a fact, well let's see how good you are against a Ra Yellow, shall we?" he asks
"Okay, but we make this duel interesting?" Ryoko said, with a smirk
"What do you mean?" Yusuke asked
"If you won then I'll accept the fact that the Great Urameshi is dead, but if I win then you give up dueling and go home."
"What!" everyone yelled, in unison
"Give up dueling!" Jaden exclaimed, "You're insane!"
"I accept your challenge!" Yusuke said, "But, I'm not going back to being that stupid street punk, Urameshi!"
Hey there, Chazz Princeton, here! On our next chapter, two more of those Slifer Slackers come here! I can't believe that they actually made it this far, I don't really care, as long they aren't lucky enough to defeat me in a duel, like both Jaden and Keiko were. Speaking of duels and Slifer Slackers, Yusuke and Ryoko duel to determine, whether this Great Urameshi person is actually dead, she doesn't even know what's in store for her. Don't miss the last chapter of The New Yusuke Urameshi!
