(Re-Edited on March 2, 2018)

"You know, I kind of feel bad that we get this private jet while the others use those helicopters," said Kaida while she was looking out of her window.

Nagisa lifted up her eyebrow, "You're joking, right? Kai-chan, if we took the helicopters to Duel Academy, everyone would want to sit by you and push us aside."

"I guess so," murmured Kaida before frowning. "As if I was going to allow those idiots to push you guys like trash."

"I know. Hey guys – oh come on!" said Nagisa as she looked over to the boys. "We're not halfway through the trip and they have already fallen asleep!"

Kaida giggled as she could see that indeed Jaden and Vante had fallen asleep, shoulder to shoulder on their sits. They were snoring rather loudly.

Nagisa made an annoyed face before smiling mischievously and headed over to the bathroom. Kaida shook her head before grabbing the rule book and started reading it. It didn't take long to hear screaming coming out of both Jaden and Vante.

"What the hell Nagisa? Can't a guy get some decent sleep around here?!" snapped Vante.

Nagisa stick out her tongue, "Not when I'm round."

Vante gritted his teeth before chasing after his oversea friend. Jaden, however, got up before taking off his blue jacket and grabbed a towel that was by his chair.

Kaida noticed something was off from her cousin. She walked over to his left before grabbing hold onto his arm, "Aniki, are you alright?"

Jaden sighed, heavily, "I…I didn't get enough sleep for the past two days. I would end up sleeping around three in the morning before forcing myself to wake up around six."

Kaida frowned, "Normally I would joke around about your sleeping habits but it is rare for you to not sleep. What's wrong, Aniki?"

"I guess…I'm getting a little nervous. True that we attend a Private School in a different city but…this is different," replied Jaden.

"I think I understand Aniki," said Kaida, softly before placing her head onto Jaden's shoulder.

"You think…I made a mistake for not using my legal name," wondered Jaden.

Kaida pulled away from her cousin's shoulder. "And have those leech girly girls get your attention – away from me?! No way!"

Jaden laughed, "Keep this up and people are going to think we are going out, Kai-chan."

Kaida blushed before letting go of her cousin's arm. She crossed her arms, "So what if I like to hang out with you and sleep on the same bed? Don't siblings do the same thing?"

"Not that I could think of," murmured Jaden before snapping his fingers. "Oh wait! A classmate of mine has a twin brother and they did do everything together."

"See!" said Kaida, happily before looking down sadly. "Even though we're not related Jaden, I feel as though I know you from a long time ago. I may have lost my birth parents in an accident but I regain a family again."

Jaden looked at his cousin before smiling, softly. "We're in the same boot then. I know how it feels to lose a family."

Kaida had a confuse look, "Dad only just said to me that Uncle Yugi adopted you but I was never told how you ended up in an orphanage."

"…My parents, Alexander and Johanna Yuki died when my home was covered in flames," Jaden said lowering his head. "I was the only survivor from the blaze."

"I'm so sorry Aniki," said Kaida before widening her eyes. "Wait a moment! Those are the names are being used in your fake file to Duel Academy."

Jaden chuckled, "That fake file is based on what could have happen if my parents didn't die. They worked in a very successful business and my name would have been Judai Yuki."

"I see so in a way, you are honoring your birth parents by using your old name instead your legal name," said Kaida before smirking. "I take it that it was Uncle Yugi's idea."

Jaden laughed and nodded. That's when they heard crashing sounds behind them. The brunette turned over to see Nagisa on top of Vante who kicked onto a rolling tray, full of drinks.

Kaida sighed, "Help me stop those two and I'll make sure you can get some sleep."

Jaden looked around before noticing a specific tray of food. The brunette smirked, "Hey Nagisa, there some crêpes and sushi here!"

The oversea girl widened her eyes before getting up from Vante's back and dashed over to Jaden. Her eyes were sparking and mouth drooling, "WHERE?!"

"Over there," said Kaida, pointing at the tray plate. Nagisa squealed happily before grabbing them and happily eating her favorite food.

Vante got up from the floor before walking tiredly over to his seat.

Jaden and Kaida walked over to theirs before Jaden narrowed his eyes at his best friend. "Didn't you learn from your last mistake not to fight with Nagisa, two years ago," stated Jaden.

"Yea, I know," murmured Vante, grumpily. He placed his hands onto his head, "How can a tiny girl like that be that strong?!"

"We're talking about a girl that lives in a very hot climate during the day and in night, its freezing cold," stated Kaida.

"Not to mention, she runs with her Father in the early mornings before having a few rounds of combat training," said Jaden.

Vante sighed, heavily, "Right…forgot about that."

Kaida giggled while Jaden shook his head before Kaida remembered something. She took out her book and handed it to Jaden, "You need to know that there are a few new rules since our last visit there with our Fathers."

"I'll get right on that," said Jaden, accepting the booklet. He placed it right next to him before closing his eyes and slowly falls back to sleep.

Vante frowned, "Hey, how come he can go back to sleep while I can't?"

"At least Aniki can keep his promise to read the rule book while you on the other hand, will take the whole trip to at least read the first two chapters," replied Kaida.

"No, freaking way! I am not reading a bloody rule book! You can't make me!" shouted Vante.

Kaida sighed before pointing over to where Nagisa was eating. She was at her third plate of crêpes and sushi.

Vante paled before sighing in defeat, "Where is it?"

Kaida smiled before handing him the book. Vante made an annoyed face before opening the book while murmuring 'stupid rule book' over and over again.

-Duel Academy-

"Welcome, Dueling Elites. You all used your skills to open the narrow admission gates. Please have fun studying in hopes of becoming the future Duel King," said Samejima through the video screen. "Also, Chronos would you escort Mr. Yuki, Mr. McKnight, Miss Kaiba and Miss Ishtar to my office, thank you."

"I wonder what he wants," murmured Vante as the four of them followed the cross-dresser. None of them said a word until they reach to the principal's office.

"Ah good to see you all," said Samejima. "Thank you Chronos that will be all."

Chronos frowned before nodding and left the room but when the door closed, he lean over to try to listen to their conversation.

"It's nice to see you once again Sensei," said Jaden while Kaida smiled.

"And it's good to see the two of you as well," said Samejima, happily. "Now the reason for this call is that the two of you wish to go to different dorms, correct?"

Jaden nodded, "That's right. I want to start off in Slifer Red before going to Ra Yellow."

"And I want to be send in Ra Yellow sir," said Nagisa.

"Very well, now off you go and good luck," said Samejima, happily.

Jaden and Vante grinned while Nagisa and Kaida smiled before the four of them dashed out of the room. Unknown to them, down of the opposite of the hallway, Chronos was running to his office.

They headed out of the main entrance where they found their small friend, Sho leaning at a stone wall. The small bluenette was looking at his PDA.

"Sho!" shouted Jaden. The small brunette jumped a bit before seeing Jaden and the others running towards him.

"Judai, what did Sensei want?"

"Nothing to important – oh so you are a Slifer Red like me and Vante," said Jaden as he noticed the red blazer on his new friend.

"How…did you know?" asked Sho.

"The color of your blazer represents where you will be staying at," said Misawa as he walked up to them. "As you can see, I have a yellow blazer which means I am a Ra Yellow like your friend there."

Nagisa smiled, "At least I'm not going to be alone."

"Well see you two later as we need to find where our dormitory is at!" said Jaden before he and Vante grabbed onto each of Sho's arms and pulled him towards a pathway.

Nagisa and Kaida giggled before Misawa guided Nagisa to the Ra Yellow dorms while Kaida went over to where the Obelisk Girl's dormitory were at. It didn't take long to find where the Slifer dormitory was located. It was right by a cliff that had a fantastic view of the ocean while the building was not so fancy but was pretty decent.

'Well its sure looks better then how it used to look like before,' thought Jaden.

Few years back, Jaden and Kaida tagged along with their fathers to Duel Academy for a meeting.

They started exploring the island with Jounouchi and Honda where they found a building that looked like a toolshed. It turns out that the building was a dormitory for the Slifer Reds. Jaden and Kaida didn't like it and asked if it could be remodel a bit better.

Seto, who couldn't say no to his daughter, told her they will try to rebuild a slight better dormitory for the Slifer Reds.

Jaden looked down at the paper to see his room was on the second floor, the same with Sho and Vante. It didn't take long for them to find their rooms.

Vante and Sho were going to share the same room while Jaden went to the room where temporal Slifer Red students would stay until being transferred to either Ra or Obelisk.

Jaden took out the Millennium Puzzle and placed it somewhere hidden in his closet while placing the card that his father gave him, somewhere hidden in his dresser. Once everything was set, Jaden walked out of his room to find Vante and Sho's room which was five doors away from his.

When he entered, Vante and Sho were screaming loudly and hugging each other while a large boy with a very close resembles of a koala was glaring at them.

"Don't call me a koala! I'm your roommate, Hayato Maeda! Mm…who are you?"

"Oh sorry about that mate, the name's Vante McKnight."

"I'm Sho Marufuji."

"Judai Yuki, pleasure meeting you Hayato."

Hayato just rolled over and turned his back on them. "Do either of you know what the 'Red' in 'Slifer Red' means?" questioned Hayato.

Vante and Sho turned to each other as Jaden walked by them. "What does it mean?" asked Sho.

"Red' is for 'Red Zone.' It means we're all a chancy bunch," replied Hayato.

Vante and Sho had a confused look on their face while Jaden looked down a bit.

"In Duel Academy, you're split into three dorms depending on your grades: Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow and Slifer Red," started Hayato. "Obelisk Blue is occupied by the high-achievers from the middle school."

"Or get their rich parents to buy their spot,' thought Jaden, angrily.

"And those who got in by taking the high school exam are assigned to Ra Yellow," said Hayato.

"Then, what's Slifer Red?" asked Vante.

"It's a gathering place for the dropouts with horrible grades," replied Hayato. "Do you not get it? Those that've been sent here never had a future from the get-go."

Sho looked a bit depressed, Vante grit his teeth at him while Jaden looked the other way.

"Hey come on guys, let's go around and explore for a bit before the opening feast," said Jaden as he dragged Vante and Sho out of their room.

"Well that was a nice welcoming from that guy," said Vante as Sho sighed sadly.

"Oh come on Sho, don't listen to what Hayato said. You need to think of the positives," said Jaden, happily. "Besides we just started so who knows, we could move up to Ra Yellow someday."

Sho thought for a moment before nodding. "You're right Judai! What's the point in feeling down right now? Give it your all, me! Hang tough!"

Jaden smiled a bit before his eyes flashed a bit gold then turning back to chocolate brown. The brunette looked around before dashing over to the main building.

Vante blinked a bit before poking to get Sho's attention.

"It was cowardly of me to get all depressed before anything actually started – what? Oh what is it Vante-kun? And…where is Judai-kun?"

"He um kind of went over there," said Vante as he pointed towards the main building. "Come on let's go and follow him!"

"W-Wait up!" shouted Sho as he ran after Vante.

"Judai! Where are you going?" shouted Vante.

"There are people dueling somewhere!" shouted Jaden back as he entering inside.

"Vante-kun, how can Judai-kun knows there is a duel going on?" asked Sho as they followed the brunette through a few hallways.

"I am not sure but he's not lying. He was able to find a few duels back where we live," said Vante. The small bluenette was in awe before continuing following the brunette.

"Let's see…I'm pretty sure it's over here," said Jaden as he was looking around before entering a duel arena.

"Hey! Is it all right to just to barge in here?!" asked Sho as both walked up to the brunette.

"Whoa, this is awesome!" said Jaden excitedly as Vante nodded.

Sho gasped, "This Duel Field is installed with the latest equipment! The sound equipment and virtual system are all-new versions! Man, am I jealous…I'd sure like to duel in a place like this."

"Well then let's do it!" said Jaden.

"I'm game Jay!" said Vante, happily.

"Huh? I wonder if we can," said Sho.

"What are you talking about? We're students here!" said Vante.

"Which doesn't give you reason to do so."

Jaden, Vante and Sho turned around to see two Obelisk students. One had bluish hair and was wearing glasses and the other had brown spiky hair.

"You Slifer Red dropout boys don't belong here!" said the spiky hair teen.

Vante and Sho had a confuse look on their face while Jaden narrowed his eyes at them. The spiky hair teen shook his head before pointing up.

"Didn't you see the Obelisk crest?" said the bluish hair teen.

"S-Sorry, we didn't know," said Sho as he looked back at them. "Let's head back to our dorm, guys."

Vante frowned, "Hmm…that somehow doesn't sit well with me, what you think Jay?"

Jaden closed his eyes before grinning. "Then how about one of you duel us? That's okay, right?"

The bluish hair teen widened his eyes, "Wait I thought I recognized you!"

"Manjoume-san, its Number #2, the one who beat Chronos-sensei!" said the spiky teen. A teen with black hair and was wearing an Obelisk blue uniform got up from his seat and looked down at them.

"Nice to meet'cha! I'm Vante McKnight and you know my friend, Judai Yuki. This little guy right here is Sho Marufuji…so who are you?"

Sho and the two Obelisk blue students widen their eyes while Jaden shook his head.

'Jun Manjoume…I have heard of his family from Uncle Seto,' Jaden thought narrowing his eyes, 'His older brothers are trying to take control the world by paying off companies and through polities. The only thing they are missing is through Duel Monsters.'

"You don't know who Manjoume-san is?" said the bluish hair teen. "He's a first year like us, but he's Number #1 of the super elites, tried – and – true from the middle school!"

"He's the much-talked-about future Duel King, the great Jun Manjoume!" said the spiky hair teen with a smirk.

Vante blinked his eyes before laughing crazy. "Y-You got to be kidding me, right? If I recall, the current Duel King, Yugi Muto has a son who rumored to be the next Duel King."

Jaden smirked a bit, "That's true and I hear he is pretty good. Besides…the Number #1 spot is mine to begin with as I'm pretty good myself."

Vante grinned and Sho stared at him in awe while the two Obelisk blue students started at Jaden before laughing their butts off then glaring at him.

"You dropout Slifer Red don't know your place, do you?"

"Be quiet!" said Manjoume. "Everyone, just calm down."

"Manjoume-san…"

"That guy is better than the two of you put together," said Manjoume as he glared at them. "He's the guy who supposedly beat Chronos-sensei in his entry exam duel, albeit he did it sloppily."

Jaden shrugged, "It was a pretty fun duel but he could at least give a challenge though."

"Aw come on Jay, that right there was skill you showed in that duel," said Vante.

Manjoume smirked, "Is that so? I'd like to see this skill for myself."

"If you like then I'm down with a duel," said Jaden.

"Aniki!"

Jaden turned around before being tackled to the ground by Kaida while Nagisa and a girl with dirty blond hair came in.

"Oh the Obelisk girl's dorm room are wonderful but I think that my Dad over did it with my room. It's as twice the size then the others," said Kaida. "So I ask Asuka-chan to room with me."

"T-That's great and all Kai-chan but…um c-can you get off of me!" said Jaden. Kaida gasp before getting up and helped her cousin from the ground.

"Oops sorry Aniki – oh right let me introduce you to Asuka Tenjouin, my roommate. Asuka-chan this two are my other best friends, Judai Yuki and Vante McKnight. The little guy is Sho Marufuji who we meet at the entrance exams."

"Pleasure meeting you all," said Asuka with a slight bow.

"The pleasure is ours Asuka-san" said Jaden and Vante while Sho nodded.

"Tenjouin-kun, don't let those dropout boys pull you down," Manjoume smirked, "I was thinking I'd teach them a bit about how intense the academy can be."

Asuka glared at him, "It's about time for the welcoming party at the dorms to start. You better get going if you don't want to be late."

Manjoume turned his head before walking away with his two lackeys.

Kaida glared towards his direction, "I don't like him one bit."

"Nor I Kai-chan," said Nagisa.

Asuka then looked over at the boys, "You guys shouldn't take up dares from Manjoume-kun and his group of wannabes. After all, they're a lousy bunch if you ask me."

'You can say that again,' thought Jaden before smiling. "Thanks for warning Asuka but now if you would excuse us but we need to head for our welcome feast."

Nagisa grinned, "Well see you guys tomorrow."

"I guess we better get going as well," said Kaida before giving Jaden and Vante a hug. "See you guys in class tomorrow."

Jaden nodded before running off once again. "Vante, Sho, let's get going or we will miss what food they are going to give out!"

"O-Oi wait up Judai-kun!" shouted Sho while Vante was following them.

The three made it just in time as the other Slifer students where entering to the dinner room. Jaden could imagine the major difference of the opening feast for the other two.

Obelisk would of course be all fancy and expensive silver ware like it is some kind of ball. The foods are served for wealthy society as the same goes with the Obelisk Girl's dormitory. Ra was sort of the same boat with the Obelisk but not as fancy though the food was still a bit better. As for Slifer, the food was pretty alright but as least it wasn't bad as some people back then would point out.

"Oh they are serving fried shrimp," said Jaden, happily. Vante grinned happily while Sho sat next to Jaden's left side.

Everyone was chatting happily as they suspected to have horrible food but it didn't turn out like that for the first years. Even Hayato was there as well. The question is left: where is their dorm leader?

There was a cat sleeping peacefully where their dorm leader should be sitting at.

But it didn't take long for a man with long black bangs and black hair that was tied down to come in. He was wearing glasses, a white shirt, a brown tie and black pants.

"I'm your dormitory leader, Daitokuji-nya. And in class, I'll be in charge of Alchemy. Pleased to meet you all-nya. Now shall we begin?"

Jaden was already halfway to his plate as the same with Vante while Sho had a disbelief look on his face before Hayato starting eating as well.

"I wonder when they remodeled the Slifer dorm?" wondered Sho. He took a bite of his fried rice, "I've heard that it was pretty bad even the food."

"It was Muto-san's and Kaiba-san's children that made it possible," said Hayato. "They didn't like how the Slifer students were being treated so they fought to get the Slifer dorms better supplies."

"I wonder who Yugi-san's son is?" wondered Sho. "There was a picture when he attended school but he was quite young. The school removed it when he transferred out and went to homeschooling with his cousin, Kaida-chan."

Jaden looked the other way and continued eating.

"No one knows how he looks like but what I hear is that he has…brown hair or something," said Hayato as he tapped his chin. "Of course everything about him was kept secret when he went to a Private school."

"That's true alright," murmured Vante, softly.

"Wonder why Kaida-chan wasn't that protected," wondered Sho.

"Mr. Kaiba is a much overprotected man," explained Vante. "I remember when Jay and I went over to Kaida's mansion. The door to her room was guarded and out at the gardens there were guards all over the place."

"Really?" said Sho in disbelief.

"It's true Sho," said Jaden while munch on his food.

"I wonder where Yugi's son is attending school now," said Hayato. "I would have thought that he would be attending here in Duel Academy along with his cousin but I guess not."

"Who knows – oh chocolate pudding!" said Vante before eating his dessert.

Jaden, Sho and Hayato laughed a bit before finishing up their meal and headed back to Vante's room. The brunette sat down by the window, Vante was lying on the bed next to the window and Hayato was sitting on his bed. Sho was making hot tea for all of them.

"Man that was good stuff," said Jaden as he patted his stomach. "What do you think guys?"

"I second that Jay," replied Vante while Hayato simply nodded a bit.

"Say why do you call Judai-kun, Jay Vante?" asked Sho as he handed them a cup of tea.

Vante froze a bit before laughing nervously, "Um well, it was a nickname I have started calling J-Judai since we were kids."

"Oh you don't say," said Sho before remember something. "Judai-kun, why does Kaida-san call you Aniki?"

"Mm oh well I have known her since the day Kaiba adopted her," replied Jaden. "My Father would take me to his job since I had no one to watch over me during the day. I would go and play with her so I guess she views me as a brother or something."

Hayato nodded, "Makes sense."

"So…is it ok if I call you Aniki then?" asked Sho, nervously.

"Um well…sure I guess," said Jaden before hearing his PDA ringing. 'Who will be calling me?'

Jaden turned on the message and it showed Manjoume who had a smirk on his face. The brunette glared at him as he knew what he was going to ask.

"Hey, dropout boy. I'll be waiting on the Duel Field at twelve midnight. We'll duel with the Ante Rule, with both of our best cards at stake. Come, if you've got the guts…

"That rich boy is asking for trouble," said Vante as he got up. "So are you going to duel him?"

Jaden closed his PDA before looking at the time. 10:30 p.m.

"I am but it is not me who is dueling," said Jaden before reopening his PDA and send a message to someone. "Come on, I need to meet with someone before the duel."

Vante nodded while Sho looked unsure. Hayato looked at them with pity look before going back to bed.

-Duel Field, 11:55-

"How good of you to come, Number #2," said Manjoume.

"Can't be helped as I do enjoy a good duel," said Jaden before glaring towards him. "But I don't like it when someone thinks that they can break the rules so easy just cause of their status."

Manjoume widened his eyes in shock.

Jaden smirked, "Just because I'm in Slifer Red doesn't mean that I don't read the handbook. The Ante rule is ban to be use here in Duel Academy!"

Manjoume gritted his teeth before smirking, "So what are you going to do?"

"He is not going to do anything!"

Everyone turned to see Kaida and Asuka walking out of the shadows. Kaida walked up to Jaden as he handed her his duel disk before placing her deck into the slot. Jaden walked back with Sho, Vante and Asuka.

"How dare you," said Kaida, angrily. "How dare you insult my Father's rules like that? And how dare you think that Aniki beat Chronos-sensei by dumb luck?!"

Manjoume stepped back a bit, "W-Wait a moment! Let's talk about this calmly!"

"No if you want to duel then you have to face me Manjoume!" said Kaida as she activated the duel disk. "You insulted my Father and Aniki! I will not let that side, you hear me?!"

Manjoume gritted his teeth before activating his duel disk.

"Duel!"

The duel was too simple for Kaida. In three turns, Kaida has two of her Blue-Eyes and Lord of Dragon on the field and two set cards while Manjoume had Armed Dragon Lv5 (2400/1700) and one set card.

Kaida life points were 3500 while Manjoume was 2500.

"…should have made a low level deck for this kind of situation," murmured Kaida.

"Quiet stalling!" shouted Manjoume with a bit of fear. He never thought that he will ever face the legendary card, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"If you're really want to lose so badly then fine," said Kaida. "Now let's deal with that silly card of yours – I activate the magic card, Mystical Space Typhoon! Say good-bye to your set card!"

The gust went and destroyed a trap card, Hell Polymer.

"Don't know what you could have done with that card as I don't have any fusion monsters…yet," Kaida said smirking.

Manjoume widened his eyes as he knew what was going to happen.

"I activate the magic card, Fusion! I fuse my two Blue-Eyes from my field and the one on my hand to fusion summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate White Dragon (4500/3800)!"

"No way!" said Sho while Asuka was in disbelief.

Vante and Jaden had sparkles in their eyes to see one of Kaida's ace monsters. Manjoume gritted his teeth and tighten his hands together.

"Oh well time to end this," said Kaiba. "Go Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Ultimate Burst!"

The three-headed white dragon sent out three white steams of light to Manjoume's dragon and completely destroyed it.

"Go Lord of Dragon, finish this!" shouted Kaida. "Manjoume, this is what you get for insulting my family and friends!"

Manjoume screams as his life points hit 0.

Kaida grinned before jumping off the duel field and gave back the duel disk to Jaden. She winked, "I know you would have won the duel as well but you can't have all the fun Aniki."

Jaden smirked, "I know but I'm glad I got to see you duel instead. That was a sweet move! What you think guys?"

Sho and Asuka just nodded while Vante gives a thumbs up.

"Well we better get going if not the security guards will make their rounds to this direction soon," said Kaida.

"Right, come on Sho and Vante," said Jaden before the three ran off back to their dorms.

"You sure know how to make people feel bad," said Asuka as both girls were going back to the girl's dormitory.

"I saw it so many times from my Father on how he deals with his dunderheads workers," said Kaida before smiling. "Come on, we have a big day tomorrow."

Asuka nodded before looking over where the Slifer Red dorm is at before smiling.

'This is going to be one interesting year…'

-Break Line-

So what you guys think? I hope there are not many mistakes but hopefully my beta will fix it up soon but she does have her own stories so can't bug her all the time, right? Until next update (hopefully, cross your fingers guys) Ciao!
