Chapter 6- She's Back
Two days passed since Jaden had heard from his blunette friend. He was starting to get worried. Had Zane kept him from speaking to Jaden? Or had something gone wrong? He didn't know what could go wrong, but anything was possible, what with the weird things they kept experiencing lately.
Also, lately he's noticed both Chazz and Zane giving him weird looks. But Chazz more so than Zane. Well, for one, Chazz keeps sneaking winks at him when he thinks no one is looking. Plus, one time he even found a red construction paper heart in his dorm under his pillow. How did Chazz get in here without a key? He had thought. He only knew it was from Chazz because it said on the back of the heart:
"From THE C"
Kind of obvious... right?
Well, he would just have to figure out what his feelings were for the guy with the big ego and hairstyle.
He laughed at his own thought as he made his way towards the cafeteria.
Zane sat on his bed at the Obelisk blue dormitory and holding the doll of Syrus tightly within his grasp, but gentle as well. He looked at it longingly, wishing he could hold Syrus in his arms, but this would have to do for now. At least Syrus was here...
...in some form.
/Zane...?/ Syrus thought curiously. /Are you alright?/ he whispered.
/I'm fine, Syrus,/ Zane smiled at his brother's worry for him. /I.../
/Yeah?/
/I miss you.../ Zane blinked as he felt something warm come into contact with his soul as if to comfort him. /Syrus?/
Syrus smiled. /It's a new trick I learned. I tried it with Jaden first but it took me a few hours to get my energy back. That's why I didn't talk to you for a while./
Zane sighed. He'd thought something had happened to Syrus. He had gotten awfully worried when he didn't hear from him for a long while. /I'm glad you're okay, I was worried./
/I wanted to tell you as soon as I felt better so you wouldn't worry so much. It'll be like this for a while because talking slowly drains my energy./
/You mean... sooner or later you won't be able to have any human contact at all through the mind?/
/No.../
/I'll defeat Camilla before that happens,/ Zane said determinedly. Syrus smiled.
/I know you will... I have faith in you. But - you may have to work with Jaden./
/Syr-/
/I'm serious Zane... if you two think up some strategy together and pull your cards together, you might be able to beat her./
Suddenly a knock was heard on Zane's door. He went to answer it and saw Professor Banner standing there.
"Hello, Professor," Zane said kind of awkwardly. He never was in his dorm before.
"Hello Zane," Banner said after taking a look around and spotting the Syrus doll standing on the window sill. "I just wanted to tell you that... she's back."
