Alexis looked as she caught up to Jaden. "Wonder why we're going to KaibaLand?" Jaden merely shrugged.

"I don't know but I'm excited to go. I really want to catch up on my old friends there." Alexis looked at him suspiciously.

"Really? Hope it's not a figment of your imagination." Jaden looked at Alexis.

"Come on, are you jealous?" Alexis gave a hot flush before opening her mouth. But seeing Jaden chuckle just batted off the anger. Wrapping his arms round her waist, he looked into her brown eyes.

"You know that I won't go back on our relationship. It's gone too far." Alexis looked down as she hid her blush.

"What makes you so…" She didn't have time to finish as Jaden reached down and tilted her head up. His lips were on her and she didn't want to complain about that. Of course, a slight cough got their attention as both of them looked at Crowler. His steel glare was intense as he looked at Jaden.

"I hope you won't do anything rash with her, young Slacker. But I'll be watching you." With that, he turned on his heel and walked off to his office. Both had an incredulous look on their faces.

"When did Crowler ever give up on baiting you to date with a Blue member?" Alexis just shook her head.

"Dunno."

Meanwhile…

Chancellor Sheppard looked as he viewed the landscape from his office. 'I really wanted the students to take a break off what has happened in the past year. But that's not the only thing that made me go.' Hearing a knock on the door, he sighed.

"Enter." Crowler stepped in with Bonaparte and as well as Simon. Standing scant feet away from his desk, Sheppard looked at them.

"So what is it this time?" Crowler was the first to speak.

"We were wonder on the sudden announcement of the trip. Why wasn't this consulted with us in the first place?" Sheppard looked wearily at them.

"The reason is that the financier wanted us to showcase the pride and talent that we exhibited to the world." At that, the three balked on their words.

"You mean Seto Kaiba personally asked us to attend this event?" Bonaparte couldn't believe what he just said.

"That is right. He personally called himself and gave this order to us. Naturally I cannot refuse." Simon looked incredulously at the Chancellor.

"So when are we set to leave." Sheppard looked up at all of them.

"We'll be leaving tomorrow as I announced. The reason is that by the time we arrive, we'll be in time for the opening of the new KaibaLand."

"That doesn't leave us a lot of time to prepare Chancellor." Bonaparte and Crowler nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry gentlemen, but Seto Kaiba requested this. So maybe it is not wise to question his authority." Knowing that they had stepped too far, they merely nodded. "Then get the students ready. We'll leave at first light."

Jaden looked as he stuffed some more clothes into his pack. 'Seriously,' he thought, 'who can fit anything with the cheap bags they give us?' Struggling with the zipper, he heard the door open.

"Jaden, you still haven't packed?" Syrus looked at the heavily bulging bag that was straining at the seams. "Jaden, the list only tells us to pack for three nights worth, not permanently!" Jaden gave a slight laugh.

"Well, you can't be too sure." The door opened again, this time revealing Bastion.

"You're quite right there. But something is still bothering me." Both of the Yellows on the floor looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the timing of the trip. It's just too coincidental just to happen per chance. Something must be up in order to do this."

"I don't care. As long as we get free food and sweet duels there, I can't complain." Both Bastion and Syrus just sweat dropped at this.

"In any case, we need to get some sleep. The trip starts tomorrow, and I highly doubt I want to hear you snoring on the trip to KaibaLand, Jaden." All just laughed it off as they got ready for the night.

Author's note: Hey guys, I'm sort of sorry for the really late chapter upload and as well as the very short chapter. The reason why was working full time means little time to do the stories and as well as little time to proof read and get them ready. Almost all the chapters are currently scrapped and redone at a very slow pace.

From now on, I'll try to aim for a 2 month period between chapters. The reason is that I can type some up when I have the chance. Plus, the chapters will be much shorter than the previous works that I've done as writing nearly 20 pages on Word isn't the most enjoyable thing ever made. So I'll tend towards the short and just do a multi chapter long fanfic than a short but overstretched fanfic.

So yeah, gomen ne if you're expecting something longer or more deeper but this will be the new spring board to work from.

Until the next chapter…
