Jaden wanted to leave Egypt as soon as possible, but Destiny wouldn't go until she found an outfit that didn't constrict her movement and wasn't made of silk. After pacifying her with a red graphic tee and a pair of dark jeans and saying goodbye to Kuu, Joey, Jaden and Destiny all took off for Japan once more.
Once they got there, Jaden and Destiny dropped Joey off in his hometown and continued on their way, camping here and there. One night Jaden was more stressed than usual. A group of Rare Hunters had been spotted nearby. If Marik found him and Destiny…
His thoughts were interrupted by Destiny coming out of the tent.
"Hey Jaden, could we eat in town tonight? I'm tired of rice and ramen."
"Maybe some other time." mumbled Jaden moodily.
"Please?" Destiny batted her eyes. Instead of laughing, like he usually did, Jaden stood up and snapped "Destiny, there is a crazy psycho on the loose looking for us and you want to go into TOWN! 'Hey Jaden, why don't we go into the most crowded city ever and double our chances of Marik finding us just to get some fried, fatty food! Doesn't that sound fun?"
"What's gotten into you?"
"Nothing! Just leave me alone!" It went silent. When Jaden looked up at Destiny, she was crying.
"Destiny, I'm sorry." he said, getting up to hug her. She pushed him away.
"No, you're not. If you want me to leave you alone so badly, maybe I will." She grabbed her backpack.
"Destiny, where are you going?"
"HOME! And I DON'T want to see you following me!"
"Destiny, wait-" Jaden grabbed her shoulder. She turned around to face him.
"Jaden, I think it'd be better to just have a clean break. Please, don't make this harder than it has to be." She turned around and ran down the road, crying.
"What have I done?" Jaden sobbed, sitting down on a log.
