Chapter 8: Here Comes the Rain Again

"Hi... Jaden..." Alexis muttered softly.

Jaden looked even more freaked, "H-Hi Lex..."

"So... um... how've you been?" she replied.

"Good." Jaden said.

Awkward Pause...

"Lex... I-I have to ask you something." Jaden said, finally unleashing his courage.

Alexis jumped, blushing slightly.

"Has anyone asked you to go with you to the TTC Dance yet?"

"Chazz did. I turned him down." Alexis smirked.

"Why?" asked Jaden in complete surprise.

Alexis avoided his eyes, "Because... I want to go with you..."

Jaden's face descended to the color of his blazer, "Um... wow... okay..." Alexis looked over at him as Jaden knelt down on one knee, taking a hand in hers, "Alexis Rhodes. Will you join me at the Tag Team Competition Dance?"

"I'm flattered," Alexis allowed her blush to take over, "Of course I will, Sir Jaden." she giggled, "This is weird."

"Well, I am a weird kinda dude." laughed Jaden.

"Okay, now we have one more thing to take care of." Alexis replied, beaming.

Jaden nodded, "Yep. Getting Alexandra Maaka and Syrus Truesdale together."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alexa sighed sadly. She couldn't take it anymore. Her heart was aching because of what she had done to Syrus. She knew she should've waited for him! But her fears had taken over. Alexa had never been lucky in love. She was the shy bookworm that happened to be a Pro Duelist from the American Duel Academy. Big deal. Now, the one person Alexa actually might have fallen in love with... she had hurt in one of the worst ways possible.

"I need to talk to Aelita." Alexa declared, "She is my closest friend."

Aelita had been one of Alexa's best friends ever since the Devlin Twins had been made her apprentices. Atilea was Rae's best friend, because they had more in common. Both twins were wonderful girls... but so different.

"Syrus..." Alexa whispered again. She then had an idea, "That's it!!"

She jumped up from her bed and rushed towards her closet. She finally found the outfit she was looking for.

"I'm sorry, Syrus." Alexa looked at the slowly darkening sky, "I love you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Looks like it's gonna rain." Bastion commented.

Aelita nodded. She had quickly rushed into the Ra Dorms for shelter and ran into Bastion. They were sitting in the window seat together, watching the sky darkening and the wind blowing gently. Aelita thought it was rather romantic, even tho' she wouldn't admit it to Bastion.

"Isn't that Alexa?!" Bastion exclaimed a second later.

Alexa had just rushed into the safety of the gazebo. She was wearing a pair of grey-black jeans, a sleeveless turtle neck black top, attachable baggy black sleeves, like Yuna's from Final Fantasy X, that were tied just above her elbows, and black Chuck Taylors. On her head was a black berret. Alexa was holding a microphone in one hand and a CD player in the other. She found the plug and set to work.

A/N: I THINK that's how it's spelled. It's those weird french artist hats.

"I'm getting Syrus." Bastion declared, grabbing Aelita's hand, "C'mon!"

Aelita surprisingly didn't blush as they quickly ran down the corridors and to Syrus' dorm. He had just left it, looking depressed, when Bastion and Aelita tackled him. (Puts up shield to protect myself against Syrus Fangirls) Carrying him by his arms and towards the entrance.

"Hey! Lemme go!" cried Syrus, dizzy and confused.

Alexa's silver-blue eyes widened at the sight of Syrus. She took a deep breath before starting the CD player. The volume at max. Aelita and Bastion both hid from view as Syrus stared at Alexa with wide eyes. Alexa began to sing just as a light sprinkle unleashed on the island.

Here comes the rain again

Fallin' on my head like a memory

Fallin' on my head like a new emotion

I want to walk in the open wind

I want to talk like lovers do

Want to dive in your ocean

Is it raining with you?

So, baby, talk to me

Like lovers do

Walk with me

Like lovers do

Talk to me

Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again

Raining in my head like a tragedy

Tearin' me apart like a new emotion

I want to breathe in the open wind

I want to kiss like lovers do

Want to dive in your ocean

Is it raining with you?

So, baby, talk to me

Like lovers do

Walk with me

Like lovers do

Talk to me

Like lovers do

So, baby, talk to me

Like lovers do

Here it comes again

Here comes the rain again

Fallin' on my head like a memory

Fallin' on my head like a new emotion

Here it comes again

Here it comes again

I want to walk in the open wind

I want to talk like lovers do

Want to dive in your ocean

Is it raining with you?

Here it comes again

Here comes the rain again

Fallin' on my head like a memory

Fallin' on my head like a new emotion

Here it comes again

Here it comes again

I want to walk in the open wind

I want to talk like lovers do

Want to dive in your ocean

Is it raining with you?

Here comes the rain again

Fallin' on my head like a memory

Fallin' on my head like a new emotion...

Thunder rumbled across the sky, lightning flashing. Syrus stepped into the rain before breaking into a run. He threw his arms around Alexa and hugged her tightly.

"I'm so sorry, Syrus!!" Alexa sobbed, "I never wanted to hurt you!! I love you!!"

Syrus blinked his tearfilled silver eyes in shock to hear these words. Bastion and Aelita both grinned and highfived from their hiding place. Alexa pulled away, staring at him with her wide eyes.

"I love you, Syrus." whispered Alexa. "I don't know how you feel about me, but I want you to know."

Syrus jumped when Alexa pulled him into an intense kiss. His eyes slowly dropping closed as he felt himself kissing Alexa back. Aelita and Bastion both anime collapsed in shock, anime confusion swirls in their eyes. After what seemed like forever, Alexa pulled out of the kiss.

"A-Alexa?" Syrus choked out.

Alexa weakly smiled. She had never kissed anyone before. Syrus was her first kiss...

"I told Blaze I'm not going to the dance with him." Alexa said quietly, "Because I want to go with you."

Syrus hugged Alexa again, "I love you, too!! Of course we can go to the dance together!!"

"Really!? Oh, Syrus!! I'm so happy!!" Alexa cried in excitement, kissing him on the cheek.

They looked at one another, suddenly blushing.

"Um... that was really unexpected." began Syrus awkwardly.

"Spurr of the moment?" Alexa said, sheepishly grinning.

Syrus looked towards the dorms, "I wonder what happened to Aelita and Bastion?"

"Heh? What do they have to do with anything?" Alexa replied confused.

"They kidnapped me." grimaced Syrus.

Alexa giggled, "Hey, let's get out of this rain."

Mokuba... Kari thought. How come you feel so lonely, when you're not alone? Why can't I just tell you how I'm feeling...? She sat up slowly and looked at the sleeping raven haired boy.

"Mokuba?" Kari whispered, hopping down from the bunk. She knelt down next to him and gently touched his arm, "Are you okay?"

Mokuba began to thrash in his sleep, muttering under his breath. He seemed to be having a nightmare of some sort. Kari dodged out of the way before she was punched in the face.

"Mokuba?! Wake up?!" Kari exclaimed, shaking his arm. "Moku-?!"

A cloth was suddenly put of her mouth and nose. A few seconds later, Kari was out cold. Her limp body was picked up by a tall brunette with cold lifeless sapphire blue eyes. He then stared down at the sleeping Mokuba and smirked evilly. Tossing a note on the floor next to him, the one and only Seto Kaiba left, taking Kari with him. He walked in the rain and headed for the docks before boarding a boat.

Mokuba jerked suddenly awake, "Takari!?" His dark eyes gazed around the room. They landed on the open door and the note. With trembling hands, Mokuba read it outloud, "'If you ever want to see the girl you love ever again... return to KaibaCorp immediately.'" Tears filled Mokuba's eyes, "Kari..."
