"I solemnly swear that sneaking into the girl's dorm and watching them in the hot tub is awesome!" –Jaden Yuki

Dan-Chan (thinking)- I really do wonder what it's like at the girl's dorm…hey! Maybe I'll get Jaden to tell me!

Jaden: Hey whatcha thinkin' over there Dan?

Dan-Chan: (grin) oh Jaden well…about the girls dorm…

Jaden: NO! (Hits Dan over the head with a frying pan)

Dan-Chan: Owww! I didn't even ask the question yet…and where'd you get that frying pan?

Jaden (thinking): Yeah where DID I get this frying pan…oh well! Hey, maybe I can beat the answer outta him! Hah! (starts whacking Dan over the head repetitively) (talking) gimme an answer! Gah! Where'd I get this frying pan!

Syrus: Uh, Jaden, you stole that from the kitchen.

Jaden: What! When? How the hell did I steal a frying pan if I don't know why or when?

Chumley: That's cause I hit you over the head with it after you took it.

Jaden: WHY?

Chumley: Well, I needed the frying pan…I was going to cook us up some breakfast!

Syrus: No offense Chumley, but you can't really cook… (thinking) yeah, total offense on you for that one! DISS!

Jaden: Yeah! The last time you cooked, I puked!

Chumley: (whacks Syrus and Jaden over the head and walks away) (mumble)

Dan-Chan: (recovering from frying pan incident) urgh…just read the fic…

Ch2: Duel Academy

Haru slept soundly the rest of the night, even after his horrific nightmare. However, he woke late. Stirring, he slowly opened his eyes and yawned. "ah…" He stretched and got up from the bed rubbing his eyes of apparent tears. "What time is- HOLY SHIT!" Haru was wide-eyed at the clock. "Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap!" He yanked on his usual attire as fast as humanely possible. Haru stopped remotely to brush his teeth and hair, yet after that, rushed downstairs with tears flying out the corners of his eyes. "MOM! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP!" Still running, he picked up the lunchbox sitting on the table and ran toward duel academy, with a backpack on his back holding his deck and duel disk. "Gonna be late gonna be late gonna be late! DAMMIT!" he ran around corners zipping past people and duelists alike, until he turned a corner, and bumped into an unfamiliar figure. "Hey you jerk, you could have moved!" Haru stood up brushing off his clothing, and then he eyed the boy. "You…You're…"

"JOEY WHEELER! That's right! Good to see I'm know around here!"

"Actually, I was going to say that guy from the game shop…who was it now? Oh yeah, Solomon Muto." Haru suppressed a laugh. This was just to annoy him. He knew it was Joey wheeler.

"WHAT! I LOOK NOTHING LIKE HIM!" Retard…

"Relax! I was only kidding around Joey! You're awesome! Like, my favorite duelist next to my dad…who…passed on." Haru's eyes went from happiness to gloomy worried eyes. His expression dropped suddenly.

"Well, I'm sorry about your dad…but thanks!" Joey smiled and laughed. He saw Haru did, and then he said, "Hey kid, you know what? I think I have a card for you that might come in handy. You are a duelist… right?"

wow, how'd he know? This so freakin rocks! Hehe he knows I'm a duelist! "Yeah…I am!" Haru said in delight, obviously eager to receive a card.

"Here." Joey slipped a hand into his pocket, and pulled out a card and handed it to Haru. "This is one of my favorite cards…but I'm passing it on to you. I think you have the potential for it!" Haru was astonished and glad at the same time. He just received a great card, from a great duelist. "Hey, don't you need to get to Duel Academy or something-?"

"OH YEAH!GAH! Sorry Joey, gotta run!" Haru took the card and ran. He knew he needed to make it to the academy, so he could make it to the initiation duels. As he ran farther he noticed something ahead of him. "Is that…YES! IT IS! DUEL ACADEMY HERE I COME!" He high-tailed it with glee in his eyes. He was happy- and an undying gratitude toward Joey Wheeler had just begun.

-

"Yeah…I…made it!" He panted. "Haru Uka, reporting!" He saluted to the guard in front of the duel academy entrance. "Please, let me through!"

He stepped aside. "Go ahead, but it'll be over soon." Haru ran past him and into the dueling arena in front of him. The dome was huge and filled with students in Yellow, Red, and Blue uniforms. Haru had never imagined Duel Academy this great a place. He grinned. "HARU UKA READY FOR A DUEL HERE!" He shouted out hoping a teacher or someone would answer him. Soon, a woman with blond hair tied back, purple lipstick on, a cloak with pink on the shoulders, wearing a duel disk replied to him. "Ah yeah finally! So who am I dueling? Miss?"

"MISS! HOW DARE YOU! YOU WRETCHED BITCH!" he steamed. "I'm not a woman boy! I'm a man! And for that little incident, you'll be dueling me! A Doctor! Name, Dr. Crowler." He prepared his duel disk and his deck. "Ready or not… This should be fun!" He cackled.

"What? Me duel a creep like you? Nah…I'd like a real challenger!" He smiled widely and laughed a bit. "You know, like a student." Girls giggled and boys laughed. But one boy, in a red uniform, did not. He ran down to the dueling stage raring to go. "Hey Haru, you've got yourself a match!" He looked confident as he spoke and Haru smiled at him. "Great! Let's do this! Time to get your game on!" Haru removed his backpack from his shoulders and pulled a duel disk out of it. He inserted his deck and stood ready. "Let's do this!"

Dr. Crowler sat with tears streaming down his eyes. However, the boy stood triumphant with his duel disk ready. "Wait…Wait a second. Did you just say… 'get your game on'?" The boy now looked surprised and embarrassed.

"Sure did! Now let's duel!"

"That…THAT'S MY LINE! GAH!" He looked confused as he ran in circles pulling his hair. "You stole my line!" Haru now looked perceptive. "Hold on a sec…You're Jaden Yuki! YEAH!" Haru suppressed a larger smile at this. "This'll be an honour to duel you!" Jaden stopped and smiled weakly. Then, he had that competitive jump in him once again. "Yeah! Let's do this! It's time to get your game on!" They both stood ready for the duel to arise. "Just know this Jaden, I'll love this duel no matter what the outcome." Jaden smiled too.

"Right. Likewise! Now, start us off Haru. It's only fitting."

"Yeah! DRAW!" He drew 5 cards from his deck. Then, he drew 1 card to complete his hand, and started the duel. "4000 Life Points, and lets do this!" Haru looked at his hand. Emergency Provisions, Kaiser Seahorse, Mirror Force, Draining Shield, Luminous Soldier, and Nightmare Wheel. Decent Hand. "I'll start this turn by summoning a monster in defense mode, and laying down 3 facedowns! Your move Jaden!"

"Don't get too overconfident! Here goes!" Jaden drew from his deck. Sweet! "Alright, lets roll for this turn! I activate Mirage of Nightmare! And, that's not all! I also lay down a facedown! And, Summon Elemental Hero Sparkman! So, attack the defense position monster Sparkman!" Jaden commanded it to attack. It did.

"Not so fast! I activate, Draining Shield! This card blocks your attack and its attack points are added to my life point total! Yeah!"

Jaden: 4000

Haru: 5600

"rrrr…" Jaden stumbled. "Alright, turn end." He ended his turn in a sort of disregarding fashion. However, Haru was eager to make a move. And that's what he did. "Ok Jaden, here's some dueling magic about to be set! Go Luminous Soldier!" He sacrificed his facedown monster in order to summon the Luminous Soldier. "Guess what? He's gonna target Sparkman! Go Luminous Blast!" the luminous soldier summoned an energy blast and sent it at Sparkman.

"Hah! Not so fast!" Jaden revealed a facedown trap card. "Mirror Force, go!" It reflected the attack and struck luminous soldier.

"AH! NO!" Haru fell backward, as his monster had been destroyed. "Alright… Turn end" Haru thought. He didn't have enough time, or a strategy. With luminous soldier down, he was left defenseless. And he knew that wasn't good.

"My draw!" Jaden drew a card from his deck and looked at it with a grin. "Well this should be good! First off, I'll activate polymerization and fuse Burstinatrix with Avian to create, Elemental Hero Flame Wingman! And now, I activate Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your facedown on the left!" It was destroyed. Mirror Force. "And now that you're left with only one card on the field, and no monsters, your wide open for an attack! GO!" Sparkman and Flame Wingman both struck Haru and his life points decreased by a lot.

Haru: 1900

Jaden: 4000

"No…I'm losing." Haru stammered. He was losing confidence and it was barely mid-game. No…I wont lose Jaden Yuki. I'm not backing down! He now grinned slightly. "Oh well."

Jaden had a look of confusion on his face. "Well, one more assault from Wingman, and your Life Points are toast Haru!" Jaden smiled. "But then again, why would I lose to a rookie?" The crowd gasped. This was a pretty intense duel. "Your move."

"Right!" Haru still worried. He had only one shot at drawing the right card to win the duel. He had to rely on two cards he had. But it was all in the fate of this draw. What do I have to believe in again? Oh yeah…like Yugi…The Heart of the Cards…Guide me! He closed his eyes in hope of drawing the right card. Suddenly, a monster that didn't even belong to him appeared in front of him. "Hey wait…you're supposed to be a hologram…but I can feel you!" he pet the monster on the head. "You're a cute little guy!" It was Winged Kuriboh. It said something, and Haru realized it was trying to tell him something. "Yeah…Thanks Kuriboh. I need to believe in my deck." It smiled and disappeared. Eyes still closed Haru felt the confidence rush through him. "Heart of the Cards…" he drew the card and held it in the air. It all comes down to this…
