Okay, here's the LAST chapter.

I do not own Yugioh Gx

Chapter 9

Jaden stood there, half in front of his sister, glaring at the man that had caused him so much suffering for nine years. In the back of his mind, he heard Yubel muttering warnings to him. He was ignoring them though.

Jacey was looking out from next to her brother. She had noticed that he'd tensed up, but when she'd looked up at him, he hadn't shown fear on his face, like she certainly was now. No, he showed rage. And that, more than anything, was what was scaring her. An angry Jaden was rare, and often dangerous.

Mr. and Mrs. Yuki stood there, staring at their children. It was impossible to read the emotion on their faces. The wind blew, rustling the leaves and their hair. No one said anything.

Mr. Yuki took a step forward, a hand outstretched. Jaden's eyes narrowed, and he stopped. He swallowed nervously.

"Jaden, I am so sorry for what happened…I didn't mean any of it! I swear! I was drunk, I didn't know what I was doing!"

"Then you shouldn't have come home drunk," Jaden said coldly. There was an undercurrent to his own voice, one that sent chills down half of the teens' spines. Axel and Jim looked at each other, eyes wide.

"Jaden! This is your father! Treat him with respect!" Mrs. Yuki scolded. Jaden shook his head. The others were all glancing nervously between the two Yuki men. Jesse stepped next to Jacey and brushed his arm against hers, to let her know he was there.

"I don't have to treat him with anything! I don't even have to return home! I'm old enough to get my own place, and my dueling skills are well enough that I can easily get sponsored!" Jaden said. His mother gasped and brought a hand to her mouth. Mr. Yuki put an arm around her.

"Get your hands off her!" Jacey yelled, stepping out from behind Jaden.

"Jacey," Mr. Yuki whispered. He took a half a step, but Jaden's low guttural growl stopped him.

"You stay away from my sister," Jaden said, low and menacing. Jacey looked up at him. His eyes were flecked with gold, teal, and orange. She gasped and took a step back from him, into Jesse.

"Jaden, Jacey, I'm sorry. I wish you could know how deeply I regret what I did…"

"It's too late for that, sir," Jesse said. Jacey could have laughed. He's yelling at her father, and still being polite.

Mr. Yuki looked at the bushy teal haired kid. Tears were in his eyes.

"You've cut them deeper than any father should cut their children. You lost the right to their forgiveness that night," Jesse said. Jaden smiled. He couldn't have said it better himself.

"That doesn't mean I can't still ask for it," Mr. Yuki whispered. Tears slowly streamed down his face.

"How can you two do this to your father? After all he's gone through-" Mrs. Yuki started. Jaden snorted.

"And what about us? He hasn't had nightmares about being thrown out a window, or about his little sister being thrown across the room," Jaden said. Mrs. Yuki opened her mouth, but Jaden didn't let her start. "See, the difference is that he deserved what he went through. We didn't. We just had to deal with it."

No one had anything to say to that.

"Alright. I'll go. Just so long as…so long as you know that I'm sorry," Mr. Yuki said. "And that I still love you."

He turned, but not before more tears spilled down his face. Jacey bit her bottom lip and took a hesitant step forward. Everyone who noticed looked at her.

"Wait," she said. Mr. Yuki half turned back. "I can't forgive what you did, at least not right away." Eyebrows all around raised. "Just…I want you to understand why."

"I'm listening," Mr. Yuki said when she didn't continue. Jacey took a deep breath before complying.

"You had our complete trust. We always thought we were safe with you. Never did we dream you would try and hurt us. You never even spanked us when we misbehaved. You hardly ever even raised your voice at us. And then, you ruined it. You shattered that trust between us, and you shattered it good. One mistake can ruin someone's life, and now it's ruined yours. You came home drunk, and you let that get to you, and you hurt us. How can we be sure you won't do it again?" Jacey said, tears of her own coming to her eyes. Jesse wrapped his arm around her shoulder protectively. She leaned into his side.

Mr. Yuki had his head bowed. She was entirely right. How could they be sure it wouldn't happen again. Jaden had got the worst of it by far, and he was certainly letting his feelings be known. His eyes had softened with what his sister had said though. The weird color flecks had disappeared.

"She's right. We can't just forgive you and trust you again," Jaden said. The undercurrent to his voice was gone. Jim and Axel let out breaths of relief. For a moment or two, they'd been scared he was going to go all Supreme King on them again. "But, we can at least be civil about it."

A few were shocked at the idea. Most were shocked it was coming from Jaden. Most were shocked Jaden knew the meaning of the word 'civil'.

Mr. Yuki smiled. "Thank you," he said. Reluctantly, Jaden held out a hand. Mr. Yuki grasped it and they shook hands. "You don't know how much it means to me."

Jaden didn't say anything when they broke apart, or when Jacey hugged him. Alexis put a hand on his shoulder. He turned and looked at her. She smiled warmly. He smiled back.

"This is wonderful!" Mrs. Yuki exclaimed, clasping her hands together in front of her. Then she rounded on her daughter. "As for you! We need to have a talk with your chancellor! How he could let you in when you're underage I'll never understand! You don't even like dueling!" And she continued to rant all the way up the path, passing everyone and not noticing that only her husband was with her.

"They won't actually make you leave, will they?" Syrus asked. Jacey smiled.

"It's okay. Like she said, I'm not that big a fan of dueling," Jacey admitted. Everyone stared at her shocked. She let out an uneasy laugh. "I came here to be with my brother remember? Being admitted into the school was just a side effect."

"Yet you can duel?" Jesse asked, confused. Jacey rolled her eyes and nodded.

"Yes, I can duel. And yes, I usually have a good time doing it, as long as it's with the right people. No, I don't want to duel for a living, making me staying here ridiculous when I know I can go home."

"I guess I see your point," Jesse said. Jacey laughed.

"I should probably go up to the chancellor and explain what's going on," Jacey said, running up the path after her mother and father.

"Well, that seems, anti-climatic," Aster said.
