Chapter 4: Actually I Am a Freak

As he was drinking on a bench outside the building Jaden couldn't help but wonder if he should kill Shepherd the next time he saw him or kiss him. On one hand Shepherd had put him in a potential life or death situation and enrolled him as a freshman, but on the other hand he did get that new start he wanted and made friends with a really nice person... probably neither, since he didn't want to add to his sins from when he was Haou, and kissing another guy would be gross.

Jaden smiled as he turned to Moka and said "You, know when it's all said done, we can't really say that today was boring… I don't know if I'll ever see Pharaoh again."

Moka chuckled in agreement, "Yeah, you really can't bring pets to school here."

"Technically, I didn't bring her, she was a stowaway." Jaden corrected, before he adopted a thought full pose "I still have no clue how she got in my bag though."

"And I don't have a clue as to why a total babe like you is hanging out with a numb-nut like him. So, what do you say sexy? You ready to get out of here, and be with a real man?"

Turning to face the voice that had rudely interrupted, Jaden saw that he had seen him before, it was the big guy from class the one who spoke about eating humans, his name was Sicko if his memory survived him correctly, or was it Saizo?

Moka replying honesty and trying to avoid a fight "No, thanks I'm having fun with my friend."

Saizo didn't really care about that. What happened next Jaden wasn't sure, he blinked and the next thing he knew, he was Saizo was holding him at arm's length by the throat. "Humph, this guy? He's a total wimp!"

Now Jaden was not a wimp, in fact he had become will trained in Marshall Arts thanks to his time as Haou, and at that moment his thoughts included many ways take down the big jackass in front of him and thoroughly Deflate his ego.

But before he could act on those thoughts, Saizo had thrown him into the vending machine. Jaden saw Moka try come to help him and be stopped Saizo. She said something about how she didn't anything to do with Saizo, but his ears wouldn't stop ringing so he missed what she acutely said. 'Why does trouble always seem to follow me where I ever go?'

x-x

After leaving Saizo with the destroyed vending, Moka and Jaden decided go up to the roof. Leaning on the railing on the edge of the roof's 'visitor safe area', the two thought back to the earlier

"Wow that was really scary just now." Moka said with a slightly nervous tone in her voice.

"Yeah, that guy was stronger than I thought." Jaden replied as he once again debated waking Yubel 'If that kind of strength is present in all monsters, I may need to wake her up… but then again she can be scarier than anything, if woken up before she's fully rested.'

Moka laughed at her friend's reaction and said, "You act like you had never seen another monster before" making Jaden start to worry, if she kept to this sort of topic she might ask-

"So what sort of monster are you?" Moka asked making Jaden's mind run a thousand miles per-minute trying figure out a good cover to tell his vampire friend "Oh, wait aren't supposed to tell that to one another. Sorry, you don't have to answerer that."

Jaden had sing paresis is to whatever deity was watching over him, but then he thought that it might be nice to have someone who knew, he said "But I already know that you're a vampire, because you told me Moka."

Moka looked down at the ground sheepishly, "Yes, but that was before I knew that was a rule here."

Jaden looked at Moka and couldn't help but wonder... "You know, you really don't look that much like a vampire."

Moka looked Jaden and it was her turn to be a little worried, "I know..." but then Jaden seemed to be like a nice person, so she pulled her shirt open a bit "Here like at this."

Now most teenage boys would have gotten a noise bleed at the sight Jaden saw but Jaden managed to get by with turning beat red, "I assume that you're talking about the cross on your chest?" he asked.

Moka nodded her head. "It's a Rosary Seal that keep my powers concealed and locked away; I can't even remove it by myself. But, if it were to come off for any reason I would change into my true form a powerful and terrifying vampire."

"A true vampire..." Jaden said, that made sense, if something was too distinctive in work shop you would put a tarp over it. Smiling to himself Jaden couldn't help but think that he and the monsters here were starting to seem every seemlier to each other. "That's okay with me, I don't really care about that, I can handle scary."

"Thank you! I knew you would understand! You're my first friend here!" Moka yelled is she embraced Jaden, who couldn't help but take notice that she smelled very nice. Moka pulled back to look at her friend. "You're all so my first in another way Jaden."

Jaden was wondering what she meant by that when she continued "Until now I have only ever had tomato juice or blood form trance fusion packs. You're the first person I have ever fed from. I will always remember that deep rich taste, it's the best I ever had." Then Moka leaned toward Jaden wanting more of it.

But then Jaden saw something, it was like he was seeing anther Moka with silver hair and red eyes and she was scary. Pulling away quickly Jaden looked again and saw nothing causing to Moka look at him confused, why was he acting so scared?

Jaden wondered if finding out Moka might not be as she seemed had caused that to happen, but was there anything to fear for her personally? "Moka you asked me what I thought of vampires, now let me ask you what you think of humans?"

Moka hated having to talk about that but still it was Jaden who asked... "I went to a human school in back when I was younger. I didn't have any friends at all, because humans don't believe in monsters. So all I ever saw was cruel and uncaring humans." Moka said getting angry just at the thought of it "There isn't a single good thing about them!"

Jaden fell silent for a moment before he spoke again, he had all ready gone too far to turn back now "And what if I said that, I am a human? Would you hate me as well?"

Moka was stunned. There was no way he was a human! He was too nice to be! "You're lying! You can't be telling the truth!"

Jaden looked at the ground "Admittedly, I may have been a little different then everyone else growing up... And that difference may have developed into something more, but that doesn't change the fact that I still am a human. So do you hate me now?"

Moka couldn't speak; this funny, goodhearted person was a human?!

Jaden smiled sadly "That's what I thought. Just give me a head start before you call the mob."

x-x

After picking up his stuff, Jaden walked back to the bus stop calmly, 'I probably should be running. But then again, where to?' he thought as he continued on down the path. Jaden couldn't help but feeling dispersed about the friend he had made and lost in the same day. "I don't know it never would have worked out. She would have fond out eventually."

"But, who's to say that it would have to end in tragedy?"

Jaden sighed "Great now I'm talking to myself."

"Just admit it! You're running away, again!"

Jaden growled "It doesn't matter anymore! What's done is done! The all cards have been played! GAME OVER!"

"Only, because your to cowardly to try to win."

Jaden could help but smile, "I'm having a mental break down and I call myself a coward, I really am hopelessly pathetic aren't I?"

"Yes, yes you are."

"IIIEEE!" a girl's voice screaming shook him from

Jaden looked at the woods behind him and fear clutched his heart. "That sounded like Moka!"

Rushing off in the detraction he heard the scream, only one thought was in his head 'I'll never forgive myself if anything happens to her!'

x-x

Moka was on the ground and had her back against a tree trying to figure a way out, a way out of there. After she had decided to go after Jaden she ran into Saizo again and he wanted the same thing as last time, her, and he wasn't going to take "no" as answer this time. In fact he didn't care what answer he got and shifted in to his true from, a monstrel or yokai hybrid of undetermined ancestry, to get it.

"Come on already! I'm going to take you whither you like it or not, so make this easier for the both of us and stop trying to resist me or change in to your true form so it's more fun that way."

Moka glared at the disgusting creature Defiantly "For one thing it's against school rules. And I'd rather die than be with you."

"Well I don't CARE!" Yelled the monstrel and then shot his tongue out and wrapping it around Moka's leg causing her to scream "IIIEEE!"

"Remove your tongue from that girl right now!"

Saizo turned to face the idiot, who dared to interrupt his fun and found it was the punk he threw into the vending machine, but he seemed different this time. While before he had seemed like some insignificant bug you might over look, but now he was unmistakably there, and was giving off an ominous vibe. But the scariest thing was his eyes the normally brown eyes were now two different colors. The left one was a blue-green color while the right was orange, they were the hardened eyes of a person who knew pain and misery, and had dealt out plenty of both. They were the eyes of a warrior.

Anyone with half a brain would run and never stop. But the monstrel didn't care about that, he hadn't heard of monsters that had bichromic eyes, so this guy had to one of those ridiculously low class monsters who could fight their way out of a paper bag. "And if I don't?"

"I'll rip it from your skull." Jaden said in claim tone.

Saizo scowled, if this guy thought that he would take that laying down he was wrong. Using his tongue he threw Moka at the punk, so he could teach the punk who had the balls to get in way a lesson and show that pink haired bitch her place.

But instead of being knocked down, Jaden caught her and set her on her feet "Are you okay?" Moka nodded, that was all she could do. "Good, now start running and don't stop until you can't anymore."

"But, what about yo-" Moka started to ask, but Jaden cut her off "I'll be fine, but right now I need to be you safe or I'll be too worried about you to fight." Jaden smiled, his eyes giving it a look that was comforting if you were a friend but terrifying for enemies. "Besides, this guy is nothing compared to the powers that are sleeping within."

Moka was about to argue when Jaden pushed her behind him "Now, gets going."

"But..." Moka didn't want to leave Jaden behind he was... he was her best friend.

"I said, get going!" Jaden's voice now had a tone of authority that made impossible resist.

And so Moka ran

x-x

After running away she found herself at the bus stop and that she had control over her feet again. 'I have to go back if he dies it would be my fault. It doesn't matter who or what he is... he's my friend and I want to see him again!'

Not one second after thinking this, Jaden came toppling and turning toward her over the hills and over the cliff! Saizo came after him laughing "HA! HA! He really was all bark and no bite! Now, where did we leave off?" Saizo said as he licked his lips in anticipation.

x-x

Inside Jaden's mind, he was laying down with his head in Yubel's lap. He looked up to her, she was terrifying but at the same time she was a creature of great beauty. "Jaden..." she said stroking his cheek with her more human hand and smiling kindly.

Then she clamped Jaden's head in place with both hands and her kind smile disappearing from her face as she fixed him with a look that was none too happy. "Why, did I just wake up to you falling off the edge of cliff after being knocked into next week by a monstrel? And please spare me none of the details; I take great interest in your day to day activities."

Jaden gulped as he started to relate the details of the past few days while trying to keep his cool under the piercing there was a look in Yubel's eyes that spelled trouble with all capital letters and it would only be appeased by a good answer or by human sacrifice, last of which was the easiest of the two.

After he finished explaining how he came to be in the current situation to Yubel, Jaden asked "Are you mad?"

Yubel sighed "No, I'm not mad. In fact, I'd be surprised if you didn't get in to some sort trouble."

"So, can please you let me up now?" Jaden asked. He was chained on a table with his shirt off and it was beginning to weird him out.

Yubel smirked and got up on the table and crawled over him "Aw, but it would be a shame to waste all this."

Jaden turned seven different shades of red and lost all thoughts in his head before he remembered something every important. "Wait! Aren't we plummeting to our death right now?!"

Yubel sigh and sat up. "You right, even with the fact that is time moving at a different rate in here, we're going to hit the bottom soon."

"Which means that I'm not going to have enough time to do all those things I wanted to." Yubel pouted.

"Uh, I don't want to bother you, but how are we going to get out of this one? Because, I can't exactly grow wings and fly here." Jaden pointed out, but Yubel smirked in that amused way and leaned over Jaden. "Oh, now wouldn't say that."

Relishing Jaden's confused look she continued. "After all we are contacted though our souls, so who to say that I can't allow you the use of my wings."

Jaden was about say 'let's do it' but then something didn't add up. "Wait, couldn't you just become physical and fly use both out that way?"

"Yes, but way you can be the hero and save the fair young maiden." She said jokingly before she spoke again in serious tone, "And let's face, it while you probably could tell your new girl friend everything about us, you don't that brute telling everyone about the fact you summoned anther monster, it would get people talk about what sort of monster you are."

Then, Yubel did something that caught Jaden completely of guard she leaned Jaden toward and kissed him on the lips. After pulling away Yubel lay down on the bounded former duelist and said all most in a whisper, "I'll see you later."

x-x

Jaden felt searing pain as Yubel's wings came in. Acting on instincts alone he opened the big leathery wings and pulled up into the air minutes before he would have crashed into the water below.

As he flew up past the top of the cliff he saw Saizo holding Moka ageist a tree. Jaden realized the monstrel plans in a second. Bering himself around Jaden dive boomed the would-be rapist and grabbed Moka, after jumping away from the tree Jaden sat Moka down on the ground. "Are you hurt?" he asked the pink haired vampire.

"Jaden... I thought you were dead." Moka said with joyful tears in her eyes, she was convinced that she would never see him again and was very happy to be proven wrong.

"WELL SOON, THE BOTH OF YOU WILL BE!" Saizo yelled as he tossed the tree that he was standing by at the damned idiot who just refused to die, he didn't care about that Moka girl getting killed with him; she was just something that would have been fun to do.

Jaden saw the tree coming and knew that he wasn't used to his yet wings and wouldn't be able to fly with two people fast enough to fly both him and Moka to safety, so duelist did what any smart man would do and threw himself and Moka to the ground as the tree flew over their heads.

"Stay here!" Jaden start to turn to face the monstrel again but stopped when he heard a clink. Looking back at Moka saw that his hand now held her Rosary and remembered what she had said about it being a seal and somersaulted away from the vampire 'This should be interesting, Camula was a fake vampire created by the Shadow Riders and she was one scary woman.'

Feeling a sudden, massive spike in Moka's energy Jaden amended his earlier thoughts 'Make that very interesting.'

Moka was surrounded by black energy that flew around her like a flock of angry bats. When the "bats" cleared, Moka hadn't change drastically like Saizo but while Jaden wasn't sure her bust and hips had seemed to fill out bit more by the way one of the buttons on her uniform opened and the way her curves had become more pronounced but he didn't stare too long to find out by how much they had changed since he could also see that her slender limbs now had the taught muscles of an athlete hidden under perfectly smooth skin; but there were other changes that were unmistakable and almost hypnotic in ethereal beauty, her skin had become so fair toned to the point of being almost pale, her hair was now a curtain of flaxen silver white, but even more captivating were her eyes. While before her eyes were green and sparkling, they were now blood-red and compounded like a cats, and had an unmistakable a aura of dignified pride and grace to them that concealed a malevolent hunger awaiting to unleashed.

Jaden felt as if every instinct that he had ever used was screaming at him to run, but he knew from experience that no-one, no matter how powerful, was unbeatable. She was powerful but he could still Defeat her, since he still had no clue how to use his powers of darkness in an actual fight he would be risking his sanity once again... but that Saizo however was going to die, no buts about it.

The monstrel was trembling at sight of her. "No way, the legends were true! That silver hair, those red eyes and this overwhelming energy! She's an S-class super monster, A VAMPIRE!"

Jaden shook his head as heard that. 'And you tried to rape her while she was a pink haired innocent girl, your fate is one of pain… and you deserve it to boot.'

The newly awakened Moka smirked at Saizo "So, I'm guessing that you're the one who woke me up." Her voice was deeper and more mellowed than other Moka's, whose voice was young and immature.

"Hey, what's wrong with me? She hasn't moved from that spot and I can't stop trembling." Saizo said as looked at his own shuddering arms while Moka stretched her arms out over her head and hopped in place a couple of times to wake her legs up.

'Your shaking because your body knows what's going to happen, even if your brain hasn't figured out that you a dead man walking' Jaden thought to himself, but he didn't say anything. No need to interrupt the rapist getting what was coming to him.

"No, get it to gather man!" Saizo put his hand in his fist as Moka yawned. "If you take down a vampire-"

"It's time for you to learn your place." Moka said her smirk now gone. Even using Yubel's eyes happened next was almost blur to Jaden, Moka closed the gap between her and the monstrel in a second and swung her leg around in a kick that sent him flying into the cliff face on the opposite side of the road to the cliff Jaden had fallen off of.

Moka turned to face the young man who now had wings, Jaden, who had hoped that she was going to let the topic of sudden avionic capabilities go unmentioned, looked at the red-eyed vampire and saw by the look she gave him that she wasn't, "Jaden, I believe we need to talk."

Jaden looked over at the white haired beauty, she did not look happy but he really did not want to talk about what he knew the main topic would be, "About what?"

Moka's eyes narrowed, at his attempt to play dumb and almost snarled, "Let's start with how you lied to me about not being a monster."

Letting out a sigh of resignation Jaden started to explain himself, "Actually, I never have lied to you at any point during the time I have known you. I am a human, born to two human parents. Neither of which had any connection to anything supernatural."

"Then what are those wings on your back? Paper-mashie?" The vampire asked sarcastically, she wasn't going to let him just say nothing about that, those things looked demonic.

"Don't get a head of the story Moka. I'm not comfortable telling all this to someone I just met." Jaden's bi-colored eyes glowed, letting her know that he wasn't eager to tell her in the first place, "Now where was I? Oh yes, that's right have you ever heard about a card game called Duel Monsters?"

Moka frowned she had heard of that game before while she was still in her old school in the human world, but what did a children's card game have to do with anything?

"Yes why?" the vampire answered prompting Jaden to continue.

Jaden smirked, he knew that look. It was the confused look of everyone who hadn't been in a shadow game "And what if I told you that card game had ties to ancient and powerful magic? A magic that was around when the pyramids were still young, and that it made that power you hold look like the glow of a firefly? I am talking about the Shadow Games" he said.

Moka had never heard of the Shadow Games. What were they, some sort of trial system? Jaden closed his eyes as he continued, but the smirk stayed on his face. "Of course I wouldn't blame you for not knowing about them, after all I wouldn't have any problem believing that your ancestors struck most of that aria form history, monsters weren't doing so well for themselves. Mostly because the human race had started to gain the power to manifest their inner spirit as apportion of a monstrous form that was in there hearts but most of those had their "inner spirits" sealed away in stone tablets to prevent them from doing as they wished, and so they could be used in Shadow Games where the pharaohs would summon them to fight at their command for all kinds of stakes, land, position, even souls."

Moka, in spite of herself, was astonished at it was unheard of for mere human to have the power to manifest their will as monster spirits?

"Now a funny the about humans is our ability to screw anything up. And the miss use Shadow Games caused such a war, that the great Nameless Pharaoh sealed the magic up in the seven Millennium Items. Now I could tell you everything about those items and how they caused all sorts of problems a few years back but that's another story. So long story made short, the Millennium Items are gone but the power of the Shadow Games is still here, and there are ways to use it with Duel Monster Cards." Jaden said wrapping up his history lesson.

"Wait. If those cards are so dangerous, why are they still on the market?" Moka asked not liking the sound of what Jaden was saying.

Jaden sighed, if she'd stop asking questions he would be done faster. "Because, if a popular card game just stopped being marketed for no good reason, people might try something stupid, they still do but it's a smaller number of people. And duel monsters or duel spirits aren't strong enough by them self's to be of any real threat outside of a Shadow Game, usually... but there are some exceptions."

Moka wasn't sure if she liked where this was going, but still wanted to know what those exceptions were. "Continue" she prompted.

"As a boy, I possessed the rare gift to hear my duel monsters speak to me, and grew very close to one that my father got me as a birthday gift in particular called Yubel, she was one of those exceptions I mentioned earlier." Jaden said as he forced himself continue talking about what came next "She believed that it was her job to protect me, and punish those who hurt me, even if it was just me being disappointed over losing a game, she put one of my friends in a coma for a month."

Jaden cracked up a sad smile as he continued, "Needless to say every kid and their mothers avoided me like a pillage carrier, saying that I was cursed. But still I couldn't bring myself to get rid of her, and so when I won the best monster design contest Kaiba-corp and learned that the winning submissions would be sent into space where they would be infused with cosmic radiation, I convinced them to send Yubel up to hoping that it would make her safe to use again... but it hurt her instead."

"She tried to reach out to me for help in my sleep but her messages came though as nightmares that would scare me awake and I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. My parents took me to see several doctors and eventually I stopped hearing both Yubel and all my other Duel Monsters." Jaden said as he struggled to keep his voice level as he confessed his intentional cruelty, "Years later, I had forgotten about Yubel and was had just gotten my power to see and hear Duel Spirits back and I had friends and had met up with the other cards I had sent up, but then Yubel came back and the radiation she had been exposed to was not the one that I wanted her to have, and it had driven her insane."

"And what happened next?" Moka asked, struggling to keep up her poker up, she really didn't know what to make of Jaden story but the way he told it set her nerves on end.

"She believed that I had put her though all that pain on purpose so she could become stronger and she did the same to me." Jaden coughed to clear his throat before he continued to talk, "I regained my sanity, but please don't ask me how I did that or how I lost it."

Moka was curious as to why he didn't want to talk about that, had it really been that bad? Jaden looked at the white haired vampire and said coldly, "To answer the question you haven't asked yet. No, it was worse." before he looked up at the sky finished his story "I couldn't destroy her because I had made her the way she was. So I fused our souls together, and now she is a part of me. And that's it."

"That's it?" Moka asked, now that the story was finished she was starting to look over it from a practical point of view and it was too outlandish to be the truth.

"That's all you need to know." Jaden answered, determined to keep the truth of his time as Haou a secret.

"I don't believe you." Moka responded, if he explicated her to believe he was mistaken, "There is no way you are telling the truth, it's a good story I'll admit but there is no way its true."

Jaden looked at the vampire and said in a deadpan voice, ''Well, my 'story' would like a word with you."

The wings on Jaden's back glowed bright orange as Yubel pulled herself out of Jaden as if she was a ghost only very much psychical as Jaden yield in pain "DAMN IT! OH GOD THAT HURT!"

The demonic looking figure smiled a little too innocently, "I'm sorry; I did forget to warn you that, it was in fact going to be very painful?"

Jaden glared at Yubel, with his now brown eyes and said with venomous tone, "There are times that I hate you."

"No you don't." Yubel responded with the air of one who knows that there is a limit to just how much she can torment someone and that they weren't there yet. Yubel turned her attention to the vampire "We need to talk."
