Ally's P.O.V

"I am so dead." On the ground was my 'attacker' none other than Dr.Crowler.

"I'm so sorry! I thought someone was actually trying to grab me."

He slowly got up.

"Mrs. Yuki, to the Chancellor's office now!"

"But I didn't mean to and-" I was cut off when he grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards the main building.

Sheppard's P.O.V

Knock…Knock

"Enter."

I said as I was looking threw a stack of papers. I looked up to see a girl walk in standing next to Crowler who was a mess.

"Crowler, what is it?" I said though I was looking at the girl. 'Something about that girl seems familiar.'

"This awful girl attacked me! I walked up to her and put my hand on her shoulder in order to get her attention and the next thing I know, I have a twisted wrist and was on my back!"

As Crowler was complaining I was concentrating on trying to figure out who she was but, decided to act like I was listening. "Is this true?"

She said nothing.

"Well aren't you going to answer him? Even your brother could answer that question." Crowler said to the girl. I then saw her head rise and realized who she was.

"Don't insult my brother unless you want to end up on your back again."

Her eyes were his, Jaden's. I knew that he had a sister but, had never seen a picture. She had his dark hair but instead of Orange (A/N I don't really know what to call that color so if you know please HELP ME!!) high lights she had two dark blue ones that framed her face.

"That's enough Crowler. I'll handle the rest. You may go now." He nodded and left.

"Look sir, I'm really sorry but, when he grabbed me, as a 3rd degree black belt I did the first thing that came to mind and that was to defend myself. Even though, I understand and except the consequences to my actions."

'Wow this girl is nothing like her brother when it comes down to vocabulary and manners. I wonder how she is at dueling?'

"Um, sir?"

"Oh yes. Well seeing as you are very responsible, I'm going to let you off with a warning."

"You're kidding, right?"

I shook my head.

"Thank you." She said as she headed towards the door.

"Oh and I'm sorry I never caught your name."

"Alyssa Yuki, but I just go by Ally." She turned and left with a smile.

Ally

I walked out of Chancellor Sheppard's office and headed towards the library.

"I think it's about time that I do some research on my 'injury'."

Jaden

Lex and I were walking alone together. We were headed towards her dorm so she could get something before we headed of to the slifer dorms to meet up with the rest of the gang. I decided to stop by the nurse and thank her for helping Ally.

"Hello, Mrs. Fontane?" I said as Lex and I entered the door.

"Hello Alexis, Jaden. What can I help you with?"

"I just wanted to thank you for helping my sister." She looked at me blankly.

"You know, Ally. She looks sorta like me but is a girl and has long dark brown hair, and blue highlights."

"I'm sorry Jaden but, no one has come in here for a few days."

I looked at Lex. She had been lying.

Ally

I walked into the Library and staterd searching the shelves to find out more about the mark on my arm. I grabbed about 7 books and went over to a corner, sat down and looked at the huge books. I put my hair up in a clip and startede reading book, after book, after book. Nothing.

I looked around at the books spread out across the floor. "Maybe I should just give up." I said as I leaned against the book shelf behind me.

THUD

"Ow!" I yelled as I rubbed my head. I picked up the old leather book that had landed on my head. The large, and heavy book. "Myths of Shadows". I turned a few pages and found the symbol Ulrich had described.

"This must be about the Dark Maiden thingy." I said quietly to myself.

I looked at the very first four words and new I had the right book.

The Maiden of Darkness…

I continued reading about the Maiden of Darkness, the shadows, and four ancient jewels called The Jewels of Souls. I stopped when I noticed that I had been reading for two hours and headed back to my dorm.

Jay

"How could she lie to me Lex?" I asked as we were walking back from the Blue Dorm. We had been looking for Ally.

"Maybe she had a reason Jay?"

I knew Alexis was just trying to comfort me but, it wasn't working.

"If I can't even trust my sister than who can I trust?!"

"You can always trust me."

I looked at Alexis. "Her eyes are so pretty. What am I saying!? I have a crisis on my hands and I'm thinking about how I like Lex. Wait, did I just say what I think!?! She's staring! Say something you idiot!"

"Thanx Lex. You've always been there for me, through everything here at the academy." She started walking closer.

"Woah! She looks really great tonight, well actually every night…What am I talking about? She's your friend Jaden. YOUR FRIEND!!! Or is she more? ARGH!! What's happening to me!?!"

"Of course I have Jaden. You're one of my best friends."

"I wonder if we could ever be more?"

"Did I just say that out loud?!"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing! I said nothing." I sighed in relief but, Alexis saw this.

"Yes you did!"

By this point we were inches away from each others lips. We both noticed this and pulled away blushing heavily.

"Well I wanted to ask if you would like to-" There was a loud explosion followed by clouds of smoke. Alexis and I had been hurled in different directions.

"Sorry to interrupt this precious moment." I dark voice snarled. Out of the smoke emerged a girl with straw black hair, a black corset( not a slutty one!), black skirt, and black gloves that came up to 3 inches below her shoulders.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Alexis shouted at her mad that she had interrupted what Jaden was about to ask.

"I'm here to duel."

A/N This chapter sucked! I accidently said that she had purple highlights when it was dark blue so my bad. And ally ,unlike the other characters, hair changes styles. It might not be that important but just thought you should know! Thanx once again to all who R&R and please continue to! I'll try to update as soon as possible! ) BYE
