I was in slight turmoil when I made this chapter. I had just finished and then I checked my email and I got a review that said they were happy I didn't make this a yaoi so I deleted a part in the story…

In the memoirs of his life, Zane would like to have this particular meeting excluded. He watched as the man before him performed a staring contest. He wasn't really sure what the purpose was but he had this nagging feeling that if blinked, that man would attack him.

"So are you Jaden's friend or consort?" he asked bluntly.

Taking on his will not to choke or gaped at the man, he tried to reply in a sophisticated manner but then was cut off.

"Or are you his friend that's trying to be his consort?"

"Uh-"

"Or are you neither but are hoping to be his consort?"

"…" Well, so much for sophisticated.

A smirk appeared on the man's face. "So it's that one…"

Trying his best not to run away in shame, he finally found his voice.

"Sir, I can honestly say I'm not trying to do anything to your son." There, he thought. That was a good, clear explanation.

"Oh not now you don't." the man retorted, a fire burning in his eyes. "The one with the strongest feelings are usually the ones in denial. But the minute we leave, you're burning desires will awaken and my poor, innocent son will be your victim."

"…"

Realizing what he admitted, Hiroshima coughed and returned to his usual composed posture.

"Anyways…what do you think of my son since you're in denial."

Zane wanted to first exclaim that he wasn't in denial but decided against it.

"He's a very good duelist with amazing potential." That was true, anybody could have seen it.

He nodded. 'That's nice but have you ever wanted to have sex with him?"

This time, Zane did choke and was definitely flustered.

The fire in Hiroshima's eyes now turned into an eagle's gleam.

"So you have! I knew it!" he announced.

"N-n-no!" Such a lame response and he knew it.

"Oh really…?" Shit, now the gleam was back and on in full force.

"Zane, and I will call you that, I heard you were a pretty good duelist. Why don't we play a game? Duel monsters, of course, after all, you can always learn more about a person when they're dueling." He spoke gently. Laughter twinkling in his eyes, cold sadistic laughter of course.

Zane nodded, trying not to look so enthusiastic. Dueling was what he was best at, he could do this.

So why did that man look so happy…?

Alexis watched as the beautiful girl-no wait woman sip her tea. She really did look like Jaden, especially with her petite figure it was like looking at a female, blonde Jaden.

"So I hear you're great friends with Jaden?"

"Huh! Oh y-yes…" she answered.

The woman smiled a smile so unlike Jaden's that it was scary they shared the same face.

"So have you ever had feelings beyond friendship?"

Alexis shook her head automatically.

Elena seemed to enjoy the answer and continued her questioning.

"Why not?"

Alexis nervously played with the hem of her skirt. How could she answer that?

Elena simply giggled at her hesitation.

"I've got an idea, how about we duel?"

Alexis stared at her. Elena smiled in response and then spoke.

"I'm not as good as Jaden or my husband but I'm not half-bad. So how about we have a go?"

"Um sure! That's sounds…fun." She replied and got out her deck.

Okay…this might be fun. Maybe this could break the ice.

Or create a whole new wall...

15 minutes later of unknown silence.

"Somebody shoot me"

Now can you guess who said that?

Zane?

Alexis?

Both?

If you guessed the last one then you are correct!

Zane watched as his life points dropped like a fly.

Alexis sulk on the couch as she numbly collected the cards.

They both glanced up.

The adult they were talking to now had horns.

Evil Smiles

And

An intimating aura that just screamed 'THE DEVIL'

"Oh dear that was just so much fun!" Elena exclaimed as they walked out. She approached her husband with floating flowers surronding her.

He nodded in agreement. "I haven't duel in years. Not since the tournaments."

Zane and Alexis snapped their heads up at this.

Rebecca fought a laugh. Serenity glanced at them.

"Oh you guys didn't know? My parents both won their city wide tournaments. They met in the state."

"They taught me everything I knew." Jaden popped in at this point and turned to the two. "So what did you guys talk about? I asked my family but all they said was 'They're picking your future consort' what's a consort?"

"A lover, Jaden. Now why don't you get something to eat?" Elena clued in. She gave Jaden some money and he walked on.

She put her hand on her cheek. "Such a good boy, Jaden is. Never really had any problems with him, did we honey?"

Hiroshima shook his head wistfully. "None at all, always listen to us when it came to dueling. Even when my brother constantly switches his gender, Jaden never got flustered."

"Or when my sister dressed him up, he never complained."

"Or when my brother-in-law got pregnant, Jaden always did his best to help."

"Such a good boy…" They mused in unison.

Chazz's eye twitched at the scene.

'What a bunch of m-'

Jaden's mother gave him a sharp look and all train of thought stopped. Shit, could she hear him? No, that's impossible... However, that woman really did look familiar…

"Oh I know you! You're Slade and Jagger's little brother; I haven't seen you since the last reunion party."

After getting his snack, Jaden turned to see his mother looking at Chazz.

"What's the matter, did something happen?"

Hiroshima laughed. "Nothing at all. We're just talking to your cousin."

"What?"

"What?"

"WHAT?!" Ebony yelled. She stared Elena straight in the eye. "I can't be related to Chazz!"

Elena just laughed as if this was an everyday thing. "Well, you're not!"

Ebony was just confused. "Okay what?"

Elena cleared her throat before going to explanation.

"Jaden, you remember you're 5th cousin Jun Ro Nen, the Korean one that's once removed. Well, his great-great-great-great-great grandfather is Chazz's great-great-great-great-great grandmother's former husband before they divorced. When he remarried to Jaden's great-great-great-great grandmother on my side of the family, makes Jaden related to Chazz by marriage. However, Ebony, since you're related to us by my husband's side, you don't have any blood ties to Chazz. You guys aren't related."

... (third period of silence)

"Thank God." She muttered, words that broke the ice.

Chazz, however, was still freaking out.

"I'M RELATED TO JADEN!"

Elena grinned. "Yes, isn't that amazing! You've been connected to family since Jaden started here!"

"That's so cool!" Jaden exclaimed happily.

Laurie hopped over to him. "Wow! I guess you can insult Jaden now!"

Somehow that didn't help at all.

"I think he went into to shock."

"I think I went into shock." Syrus gritted through his teeth.

Taking a deep breath, Zane walked over to the two adults. "I hope you understand what's going on here. I think it would be best if we all went somewhere quiet."

Alexis nodded, backing Zane up. "It's a lot to take in Mr. and Mrs. Yuki. I know somewhere quiet that's perfect to talk all this out."

Hiroshima and Elena stayed quiet and then broke up into smiles.

"That's perfect!"

They took a step, what did they do now?

Hiroshima marched up to Zane. "You're great! I was really worried that if my son would fall in love with a guy that it would be a snotty, spoiled drama queen that thinks he's the king of the world or a geek who thinks that grades and strategy is everything or even a short wuss that had no means to protect himself but you proved me wrong!"

"And I was worried that if my son would fall in love with a girl, she would be all dramatic and fan girlish. That and my oldest child are already straight and married to such a great guy! I felt like all my children had to get somebody just as great!"

"But you have my blessing!" Hiroshima ended joyously.

"Mine as well!" Elena agreed.

"Uh…Thanks?" Alexis answered sweatdropping.

Zane couldn't speak, though a small smile appeared on his lips.

Was Zane actually happy? Alexis thought.

"We'll be going now!"

This comment surprised everybody, except well Rebecca, Serenity, Laurie, Raito, Ebony, etc.

Jaden pouted. "Why so soon? I was really looking forward to this!"

Hiroshima laughed. "We have work, but we'll see you in the summer, heck you should bring one of them along. Then they'll get interviewed by everybody else."

"Huh?"

Laughing again, he shook his head and turned to his nieces and nephews. "You guys have to come home in 3 days, or we're killing you. Bye!"

Emerald scoffed indignantly. "So his children don't get any death threats."

Serenity giggled. "We're the reasons he knows death threats."

As they continued chatting, forgetting all about what happen, Alexis noticed that everything was beginning to get more…normal. Whatever that is…

She glanced at Jaden, happily licking his sundae. And at Chazz who was still suffering from shock. Then, finally at Zane.

She cheerfully skipped by him and smiled slyly.

Zane turned to her.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing…" she said in a sing-song tone.

He raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

Alexis giggled and leaned into his ear.

"Just so you know you have my blessing, too."

And she skipped away.

Zane sighed at looked at the group, still trying to cure Chazz's shock.

"What do you think is the best feature in Jaden? And don't say his dueling skills."

"Well, there's his optimism and smile. He never seems to be truly sad and cares too much about other people. He's horribly naïve…And…"

"You can stop now I think I know what I need to know."

"Damn, she found out."

Well the next chapters the last one with the OCs or maybe 2 more …I dunno. But Jaden is going to find out soon. So it's ending.
