Disclaimer: I don't own the song 'Invisible' By Clay Aiken. I am using it for the soul propose of making the plot flow more smoothly.
Knight of the Red Hero
Hey! I'm Jaden Yuki, 2nd year Slifer and best duelist at Duel Academy, if I do say so myself. I live and breath Duel Monsters. I love the thrill of the duel. One day I want to be as good as Yugi Moto my idol in all things dueling! But sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I didn't duel. Maybe I'd be on a sports team, and be going out with friends. I wouldn't be at duel academy, I'd be home. How boring does that sound. Heck then again, maybe I'd even have a girlfriend!.. Not that I want one of course. Hahaha… Yeah… Anyway where was I? Oh yeah, I don't really think about the way my life might have been. Now get your game on, 'cause here comes Chapter 3: Knight of the Red Hero! Hey, that's me!…
I led the growing group to the site. Together we began to build a bon fire as big as we could. Professor Banner and Professor Monsoon were kind enough to agree to supervise us. They lit the fire and we rummaged through the loot. The Ra's brought some steak, the Obelisks brought some caviar (which we fed to Pharaoh because it tasted nasty), and the Slifer brought some hotdogs and ramen. All of us laughed and talked together as we cooked the food. It's strange that we were all talking quite civilized to each other. People were once again people. I knew this peace wouldn't last so I planned to enjoy it. I met up with Alexis and her little posse of Obelisk girls. They had added a few Ra girls to their ranks.
"Jaden!" Alexis called.
"Hey! What's up, Lex."
"These are some of our new friends. They wanted to meet you." she indicated a girl with short brown hair. "This is Margarita Preddy. And the red head next to her is Isabella Catkin." The girl with auburn hair waved. "Guys this is Jaden Yuki."
"It's nice to meet you, ladies."
Margarita smiled flirtatiously, "Not as nice as it is to meet you, Jaden."
I cringed and scratched the back of my neck. "Well, I've got to go and see how Bastian with those steaks. Later girls!" and I was off like a rocket.
Bastian stooped next to the fire watching the steaks cook slowly. "Hello, Jaden. Did Maggie startle you?"
"A little. At least that Isabella girl seems normal."
"Oh no, she is far from normal. She is amazing." Then Bastian stared off into some world and I didn't think I wanted to follow him in.
"So how are those steaks coming."
Bastian turned, "Just fine… Has Chumley gotten the… Drinks?"
"He's sneaking them out of the kitchen as we speak."
"That's good." he said tuning back to the steaks.
"I'm gonna check on Loki and see if he's ready with the entertainment."
"What's his entertainment?"
"I don't know. He said it was a surprise." I walked over to the make shift stage. On it were several large items concealed by sheets. A black haired head worked underneath the one in the center. "Loki, what are you doing!"
"Oh, Jaden! Could you call Briar? Tell him that I'm ready and he can get the others?"
"Call him?"
"Yeah, with the microphone."
I then saw the mic stand and tapped it. There was a squeaking sound and I said. "Would Briar please get the others and report to the stage. Loki is waiting for you. Thanks. That is all." To Loki I added, "I've always wanted to do that."
Briar walked to the stage with Chumley, an Obelisk girl named Mindy and a Ra boy I had never talked to before. "We're ready, Mon Capitan!"
"Alright lets hit it!" he walked to the cover items and pulled off the sheets to reveal a bass and electric guitar, a keyboard, a set of drums and two enormous speakers. The four walked to the instruments and started to tune them. Loki walked up to the mic. "Hello, students of Duel Academy. This afternoon for your entertainment, this band of your fellow classmates will be performing songs requested by you. Give a hand for Up a Creek!" The crowd of students cheered loudly. "To request a song please write it on a piece of paper and put it in the plastic fish bowl on the table to the right of the stage. Songs will be chosen at random. The first song is my request seeing as we have none as of right now. It's called Invisible by Clay Aiken:
Whatcha' doin' tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Who's stealin' your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
Oh Wait.. I already am.
The band played on as I watched the crowd. They slowly got up and started to dance.
