Hello everyone... Thanks for all the reviews. I'm really excited getting all the notifications on my email because seriously they are just pushing my to write faster. I'm not kidding, just write two sentences and I guarantee that I'll work on a chapter that day and I'll post even sooner.

I have to say I'm liking this chapter a bit more than my others for some reason but who knows? This chapter basically shows what Jesse was up to while Sage was being escorted around.

I don't own yugioh GX so please don't hunt me down and sue me!

Magazines are just lies

After taking a few calming deep breaths and feeling collected, I began to pick myself up and walk to the mentoring office. I heard a tinkling noise and felt another presence. Ruby Carbuncle's face suddenly dropped down in front of my eyes.

"Hey Girl, is something wrong?" I asked my monster spirit. With that she was off. I had to sprint to keep up with her as she weaved and dodged through the path of people. I had to run at full speed to even be close to keeping up with her pace.

But as suddenly as she began, Ruby just stopped behind a bush next to the path leading to the main building. For as long as I could remember, this was how most of my adventures started, Ruby running off somewhere and us getting in trouble. I let out a small chuckle reminiscing on the past.

Ruby then bolted off to follow a girl. Her sapphire blue Obelisk uniform seemed to sparkle a bit in the sun as she followed a woman from the main office. I also noticed a bit of an odd glow behind her dark sunglasses when she walked past me. But her mouth was set into a nervous half smile. She stumbled a bit after Ruby made a sound. I guessed she can hear monster spirits when she turned around and took a fleeting glance at my Ruby. She seemed oddly familiar but I couldn't decide where or when I had seen her.

As I got up to get to the mentoring office I couldn't help but feel a pull that was almost magnetic to her. It wasn't something I had ever felt before so I just shrugged it off. I looked down at my watch to see how much trouble I was in and realized I only had three minutes to get to my destination across campus.

With moments to spare I barely had time to catch my breath before my freshman was supposed to get here. I began to flip through a magazine that they had stacked in the waiting area. I skimmed a couple of articles about new cards and their strategies and one about the next big tournament and who was going to duel there. Soon I came to an article previewing a rising professional duelist that really caught my eye.

"Hmmmm, looks interesting enough." I muttered to myself.

"Sage Arone is a new duelist on the circuit but don't underestimate her. At first she looks to be nothing more than a sweet cute little girl with shocking emerald eyes, but with a close look at her deck you can find the work of a teenage mastermind. After teaming up with top duelist, Yugi Motou, and Industrial Illusions president, Maximillon Pegasus, she created a one of a kind deck of completely her designs. This deck revolves around using the theme of aura cards. Through this one-of-a-kind deck she has become ranked in the top 20.

Perhaps most surprising of all her countless stories though is the one of her past. After growing up to a respectable family Sage began to receive blasts of color instead of her usual sight. After being diagnosed with an extreme case of synesthesia or color association these color flashes settled out and became more of a second sight. Her powers don't stop there like most people think, her aura reading abilities also give her mind reading abilities. After being diagnosed she decided to test herself through dueling and eventually she went pro after mastering her deck. Now she is dubbed as 'the true psychic duelist' and is yet to be beaten. No one knows the full extent of her powers but we are sure to see her continuing to work her way up the ranks."

As soon as I saw her picture I could feel my mouth drop open. To say she was cute was an understatement. I would have to do some more research to see when her next duel was because I would need to watch that. Her hair was a dark brown that resembled chocolate and fell to the middle of her back. She had a slight smirk on her face and was holding five cards in her hand. The dark fingerless gloves she was wearing were ratty and torn but the rest of her outfit appeared to be new. For some reason the sunglasses on her head looked really familiar but I ignored the feeling.

When I looked up at the clock I could feel my frustration growing. My little stupid runt of a freshman was supposed to be here fifteen minutes ago. I had better places to be right now than in a stuffy office. It was just my luck that I would have to be put with probably some crappy duelist, but now mine was going to be bad and late.

"Great, just great," I said to myself as I saw little Ruby scampering to me, "Oh hey girl. How was your adventure?" I could always count on her to listen to me so I vented to her.

Afterwards she went up to lick my face but by now everyone was staring at me like I was insane. I always have to remind myself that not everyone could see monster spirits. I could guess how odd it would seem if someone was whispering and holding an imaginary cat.

"I can't believe our runt isn't here yet! I mean come on, how lost can you be at this place? We're just going to need to show her some manners when she finally gets here," I continued to whispered to my long time partner.

"The stupid runt isn't coming! I've had it, I'm leaving!" I stated rather loudly and accidentally the receptionist though I was speaking to her. I continued now that I had her attention though. I could finally hear footsteps down the hall while the receptionist and I started to argue back and forth.

"Finally! Here is your mentee, Sage Arone. And Sage, your mentor Jesse Anderson."

My mouth became instantly dry. Her long dark chestnut hair cascaded down her shoulders like a graceful waterfall. Her eyes were the deepest shade of emerald while her light skin made her sapphire uniform appear even deeper in color. I could feel the ruby heat crawl up my cheeks, not only because I was embarrassed, but also because she caught me looking. And then all of a sudden two things clicked. She was not only the girl at the dock that had fallen on top of me but the pro from the article. Shit.

"I guess your runt is here, or were you expecting someone else, Jesse?" she said in a crystal clear voice that sounded like bells. She heard me and she caught me looking at her, I had no chance.

"Uh, Hi. I guess you heard that. Sorry," I could feel my hand go up to my hair and a slight smirk appear on my lips, aka my Jesse is nervous/uncomfortable position.

"Pick your tongue off the floor, and let's go!" She said in such a gleeful manner that either had to be sarcasm or her trying to make me feel worse. I honestly couldn't tell but when she grabbed my hand, all thoughts went out the window. I could only concentrate on the distinctly electric touch of Sage's hand.

Yeah, now reading thorough it again and editing, I really do like this chapter. Tell me how you feel about it by clicking on the review button. You know you want to! I'm not kidding click the damn button! 0;)
