'Get Your Game On!'-Inner Thoughts

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or anything from the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.

The next day after the entrance exam, people were loading up on the boat to Duel Academy, one of which was Jaden Kaiba, who looks a bit different now that he changed in to the school uniform.

(A.N. I'm not sure when exactly they leave so just roll with it because I'm pretty sure they wouldn't bring luggage with them to the entrance exam so I'm making it the next day.)

Jaden is now wearing an Obelisk Blue uniform that seems to defy gravity by branching out at his hip(Like his fourth season jacket only Obelisk instead of Slifer). He leaves it unbuttoned so people can see him wearing a black t-shirt underneath. He also wears white jeans with a black belt with a Red Eyes Black Dragon head as the belt buckle along with his Red Eyes Amulet around his neck. He also changed his shoes to blue skateboard shoes since wearing his red ones wouldn't look right with his blue blazer.

On his back is a backpack that holds his duel disk along with a few other things such as a scrapbook with pictures of his family. There are pictures of him with his mom, dad, his uncles Mokuba and Joey, his cousin Kyrie, along with Yugi and Tea. There's even one with Pegasus in it from when he was 11 and his father had a meeting with Pegasus or as his father calls him, the 'Silver Haired Bastard' when he thinks no one hears him. Attached to his right hip is his deck box which is generally black in color with red trim.

As Jaden was walking to the line for Obelisk Blues he noticed people looking at him with a collection of awe, fear, and in few cases, jealousy he couldn't help but sigh. He knew people would be like this but didn't think it would be THIS soon.

'Is this how Yugi felt when he became King of Games?' Jaden thought as he dropped off his luggage with the other student's luggage. As he stood with the other Obelisk Blues he heard a few girls talking about him which piqued his interest.

"Oh my god Jazz look at him, he's so hot!" A girl with maroon hair that reached her shoulders wearing the typical Obelisk girl's uniform said as her and her friend were looking at him with blushes on her cheeks.

"I know Min, I mean you would have to be blind NOT to see how totally sexy he looks!" the other girl, Jazz if he remembered what her friend called her, replied.

(A.N. This reminds me a bit of the girls at my High school.)

As they kept talking about him like he wasn't only a few yards from them he decided to surprise them a little.

"You know if you want to talk about me, you could've just walked up to me, you know." He ended with a small chuckle as the two girls 'Eeped!' and tried to hide behind each other but they were failing since both kept moving to try and hide behind the other.

Jaden watched in amusement as this was going on and turned back ahead of him as students started loading up on the ship. The way people get on the boat is rather simple, Obelisk first, Ra go second, and Slifers last.

Alexis Rhodes wasn't having the best of days. First she misplaced her boarding pass for Duel Academy so she spent 10 minutes searching for it which took a bit of time off her schedule. Then when she got to the docks to get on the boat for Duel Academy a few guys kept hitting on her which was annoying.

And finally when she went to go to the bathroom she almost missed the boat, it didn't help that she was being led by a crew member to the only empty seat which happened to be next to a figure that looked distinctively male, though she couldn't see his face since he seemed to be looking through his backpack for something.

(A.N. I got the whole 'Looking In a Backpack' thing from another one of Arashi Hanshu's stories "The Chosen Apprentice", good story.)

'Great, he's probably going to be one of those fanboys and won't stop pestering me for a damn date.' The beautiful blonde thought in slight disgust. She was used to having fanboys-and in some cases fangirls-because of her looks and found it annoying that no matter how many times she told them 'no' they just couldn't take a hint.

When she sat down she alerted the person next to her which made his back straighten up a bit. She heard him say in what sounded like relief as he appeared to get a hold of something.

"Um, excuse me miss, but can you hold this for a second?" he asked as he pulled out a sketchbook of some kind. A bit shocked that he knew she was female without even looking she just took it and placed it in her lap.

Eventually her curiosity got the better of her and she opened up the sketch book and was a bit shocked seeing different designs for what appeared to be due monster cards.

There was one design of what looked to be a human-shark hybrid with no mouth and blue eyes and one the corner of the page was writing that said "Elemental Hero Neos", one of what looked like Cyber Dragon that had a horn with red orbs and spikes on its body called "Cyber Valley"(1), another of what appeared to be a grey dragon with shocking yellow eyes that was unmarked for some reason, and many other different types of cards. It was one drawing however that made her pause.

It was a drawing of-what looked to be-a female with and three different eyes, an orange right eye, a teal left eye, and an eye on her forehead that had a yellow sclera and red iris, along with purple and black skin and two wings. In the drawing she had her arms wrapped around a boy from behind in an almost loving embrace. The corner read "Yubel's Gift" which led her to believe it was either a Trap or Spell card.

She was so caught up in looking through the sketch book that she didn't notice the person next to her watching with amusement shining through his chocolate brown eyes. A sudden "Like anything you see?" almost jolted her from her seat and almost made her yell in surprise if it wasn't for her willpower.

As she turned to glare at the person that scared her-though she'd never admit it-she froze.

Looking at her with a kind smile and chocolate brown eyes was the person that defeated Professor Crowler at the entrance exam. 'Jaden Kaiba, son of Seto Kaiba and cousin of Kyrie Wheeler.' She thought while trying her best to look calm.

"Well I simply got curious, that's all." She said in a cold voice. While he didn't outwardly show it, Jaden was slightly amused by her cold voice. While it would affect most people, Jaden lives with Seto Kaiba, he's used to hearing his dad's cold sound even colder than hers when he's in meetings that he sometimes watches(peaks) in on.

"Well anyways I'm-" Jaden got cut off when she finished for him.

"Jaden Kaiba, son of Seto Kaiba and only person to get perfect scores on both portions of the Duel Academy entrance exam."

Jaden blinked and scratched the back of his head, "Did everyone see me duel against Crowler?"

"Yes." Was her cold reply.

"By the way, what's your name?" Jaden asked.

Alexis sighed, here comes the part where he tries to ask her out. "I'm Ale-"

Now she was cut off by a rather familiar voice to Jaden, "Hey there little cousin."

They both turned to see Kyrie Wheeler standing in the aisle next to them with her arms crossed under her large bosom. Jaden gave his older cousin a wide grin and got up to hug her which she returned making a few guys send death glares at Jaden before they remembered that they were cousins. "Kyrie! How've you been?" Jaden exclaimed happily.

"I've been good, I mean I am number one for Obelisk Girls." She said with a flip of her hair making Jaden Chuckle when he saw some guys blush.

"In dueling or looks?" Jaden asked playfully knowing most guys would give an arm and leg for just a chance to see his cousin in the shower.

(A.N. Don't judge me!)

"Why both of course, if Dad knew though he'd probably pull me out of school. He always was over protective." Kyrie said with a shake of her head. She then turned to the person her cousin was sitting next to. "Ah I see you've met Alexis here."

"Yeah, you could say that," he said sheepishly, then a look of realization came to his face, "Oh, Kyrie!" once he was sure she had her full attention on him, he continued, "I got a few new cards for you." He said as he handed her a small package.

'That must be what he was looking for earlier.' Alexis thought to herself opting to stay silent for now while the two cousins talked.

As Kyrie started looking through the cards she had to admit she was impressed, then when she reached the last card her eyes widened in surprise. She looked at her cousin for an explanation and saw him chuckle, "Well since dad uses Blue-Eyes, and I use Red-Eyes I thought it would be good to keep Eyed Dragons in the family by having dad make a new card for you. So congratulations Kyrie, you're the first and only owner of Yellow-Eyes Silver Dragon(2)!"

The people around them were a bit shocked, ANOTHER Eyed-Dragon exists now? Wasn't Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes enough?

Kyrie continued to stare at the card until she pulled her cousin into a giant hug to show him her appreciation. Unfortunately, this action caused Alexis to feel a pang in her heart since it reminded her of when her brother Atticus would embrace her at parties that their parents would take them to when they were younger. Her cold expression faltered for a bit but it wasn't long enough for anyone to notice.

Four hours later Jaden decided that instead of sitting on an uncomfortable chair he would simply go to the part of the boat that no one except for a few people could go to. The Kaiba Family Wing.

It's basically what it implies. An entire wing-about 2 floors-that is just for Seto Kaiba's family and friends. Of course being the son of Seto Kaiba meant he could go there without worrying about people really caring. It was one of the few things he wouldn't mind using his family name for.

With his mind made up he grabbed his backpack and stood up, drawing the attention of the blonde sitting next to him. "Where are you going?" she demanded once she saw his backpack.

"To my room." He stated simply as if it was obvious, which to him, it was.

Her eyes narrowed dangerously, this kid may be a Kaiba but there are just some things that confuse her about him. The she realized something. She didn't want to be stuck in an uncomfortable seat either "Okay then I'll let you go," when he started to move she put her legs up to block his path, "that is, IF you take me with you and answer my questions." Jaden knew the tone in her voice left no room for argument, so he settled for sighing in defeat and nodding. Smirking in satisfaction, she gathered her stuff and followed him to the door that would lead them to the deck drawing quite a few stares from people.

Two of these people were none other than a pair of girls that saw their friend following a totally hot boy and squealed in delight.

As they got inside of his room Alexis decided to take her time to look at the interior of it. It was simple yet had a very comfy feel to it that made her relax her muscles. "Wow, I didn't think it would look like this." She heard the voice of Jaden next to her.

She turned to him with a raised eyebrow, "What do you mean?" her response was a chuckle.

"Well last time I was on this boat it was kind of messy from some of my work and I honestly didn't expect it to be clean." He said scratching the back of his head.

Alexis shook her head and decided now would be the best time to ask her questions. "Okay so what's with you?" she asked, then decided to elaborate seeing his confused look. "I mean, most rich kids that come from a famous family are usually spoiled brats that think they can do whatever they want, but the only time I've seen you use your family name to do anything was for this room."

Jaden sighed and let a small smile that made Alexis' heart flutter come to his face. "Well my dad made sure I didn't turn out like that by making sure paparazzi and the media never knew about me. While most kids would feel bad about their parent's not wanting people to know that they exist, I'm glad since I didn't turn out like those other rich kids."

After he said that, Alexis couldn't help but look at him in a new light. This guy really intrigues her. They spent the remainder of the time they were on the boat talking to each other about how their lives were growing up, though before Alexis could really say anything about her life, they found that they were both really tired and fell asleep without noticing they were sharing a bed.
