Another Da-zoo!
"Judging by the shiner," Yusuke said, referring to the black eye on Atticus's face, "You've had a run in with the Society Geeks."
Yusuke, Kari, Sakura, Kagome, Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Atticus and Ryoko were with the Slifer group, by the river, having a camp fire.
"I thought I'd surprise her," Atticus said, referring what happened earlier before the ambush of the white dorm by the demons. He was going to visit Alexis, but the white student threw him out.
"Those punks took Syrus and Hassleberry, too," Yusuke snarled, "And almost took Keiko, too."
"Almost?" Atticus raised an eyebrow
"We don't know how exactly she managed to escape from the Society of Light," Yusuke said, "But we got another problem."
"Not too long ago," Kagome started, "The white students were ambushed by a pack of dogs and six demons."
"And one, among the demons was the demon that attacked Chazz one time," Yusuke said.
"WHAT!" Atticus yelled, "Those monsters attacked my baby sister!"
"And Jordan, too," Sasuke said.
"My baby cousin, too! How are they!?!" Atticus asked.
"Well, what I knew that was that demon bit Jordan's right shoulder and Alexis suffered from a bleeding forehead, bruises on the face and arms and a broken ribcage," Yusuke said, "Other then that, they're fine."
"But how did that demon get here from Academy Island to Domino, I wonder," Sasuke said.
"Plus, there's the fact it could do the spirit gun," Kari mentioned, remembering after Mindy was attacked.
"Hey, look at it this way," Naruto said, "At least, they're having a miserable time on this trip, staying in the hospital."
Sakura whacked Naruto on the head, "Naruto, that's a terrible thing to say!" she scolded.
"Funny thing is that we didn't find Chazz, with those geeks," Yusuke said.
"I could care less about happens to him, now BELIEVE IT!" Naruto scoffed
"I agree with Naruto," Ryoko snarled, "My only regret is that the demon didn't kill him, in the first place."
"It's Chazz's fault that the Society of Light was even converted from the Obelisk dorm, as well." Atticus added.
"But we put the entire blame on Sartorius, as well," Yusuke said.
"Hey kids, why all the long faces?" Mr. Muto asked, walking by the depressed Slifer Reds, with bags of hamburgers, "Perhaps these should cheer you up."
"Hey guys,"
They turned to see Inuyasha, Hiei, Jaden, Jade, Jordan and Keiko walking towards them, "Keiko, you're okay!" Ryoko praised
Keiko gave Ryoko, Sakura and Kagome a dark look, "YOU GUYS LEFT ME ALMOST GETTING KIDNAPPED BY THE SOCIETY OF LIGHT!!" she roared, which scarred Yusuke, Jaden, Naruto and Jordan, because of her outburst.
"We didn't leave you!" Sakura said.
"Yeah, that clerk at the store told us that you left to go to the hotel," Ryoko said.
"Apparently, that clerk was also working for Sartorius." Kagome added.
Yusuke were hiding behind Kari, while Jaden was hiding behind Hiei, Jordan was hiding behind Jade and Naruto hiding behind Hinata, after hearing Keiko's yell, "I don't know who's scarier when angry, Keiko or Alexis," Jordan commented, officially scared of the brunette's wrath. (AN: I'm officially making Jordan stop with the nicknames, because they're getting kinda old and he's 14.)
A few moments later, the Slifer Red students were eating and enjoying their hamburgers. But Jaden didn't eat his burger, not because only Syrus and Hassleberry aren't here, but his demonic seal on his back that Kakashi placed on him. It won't seal the demon in him, completely, but prevents his Da-zoo side from taking over by will. He was still a half-demon like Yusuke, Kari, Melody and Inuyasha.
"Hey Jaden."
Jaden looked over to Atticus, "What's wrong you're not eating?" he asked.
"Yeah, you haven't eaten your burger since you got it," Yusuke added.
Jaden sighed, "Guys, I have a confession to make," he said, "It's about the attack on the white students caused by the six demons."
"What is it?" Kagome asked.
"Hello!"
Everyone looked up to see Bastion, running towards them, "Hey Bastion!" Kari greeted.
"Jaden was about to tell us something about the attack," Naruto said.
"You mean the attack by the hotel that the white students are staying," Bastion said.
"Yeah," Jaden said, "That demon was also, as you guys know, attacked Chazz, from behind. That demon was…me."
"What!" Yusuke said.
"You're kidding." Atticus said.
"That's right."
Kakashi and Koenma walked towards them, "Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata greeted.
"Jaden is indeed a demon. Well half demon." Kakashi said.
"Half demon?" Kagome inquired.
"But that's crazy," Yusuke said, "If that's the case, then I would have sense demon…" he thought about for a while, "…there was the sense of demonic energy coming from you, when we were dueling Princess Rose."
"But we would have sensed Jaden's demonic aura, before that," Kagome added.
"Jaden's demon side was sealed, at that time," Keiko said.
"Sealed?" Kari repeated.
"That's right," Koenma said, "Right now, the demon, Da-zoo, inside of Jaden's body is sealed at the moment."
"Da-zoo?" Bastion said.
"A Da-zoo is a low A class demon," Koenma said, "And the evilest of all demons."
"So, right now, Jaden has sealed in him is some kind of evil demon!" Bastion said, "But how in the world did that demon took over Jaden's body and mind?"
"But how did it got into him," Kagome asked.
"Was he born with it?"
Everyone looked at Atticus, weirdly, "Yes, Jaden was born with demon blood," Kakashi said, "When Jaden was one, his mother sent him the Konoha Village to have his demon side sealed, along with every ability that belonged to the Da-zoo, by the late third Hokage. That would explain why Jaden didn't know anything about his demonic inheritage and not aware of it."
"I've heard about this," Sasuke said, "About fifteen years ago, the third Hokage placed a seal on the belly of a year old baby boy."
Jaden showed everyone the seal on his stomach, which appeared to be a circle with a weird looking star in the middle and lowered down his shirt, "That boy was me." He said.
"It's the same situation as me," Naruto said.
"Actually Naruto," Kakashi said, "The nine-tailed fox's chakra was sealed in you, when you were a baby. You weren't born with it."
"Plus there was another child, five years later, after the boy got the seal placed," Sasuke said.
"Another Da-zoo!" Jaden exclaimed.
Atticus's eyes widened, in shock, 'Oh no…' he thought, 'He couldn't have…'
"Only it was a six-year-old girl…" Kakashi said.
Atticus's eyes widened, in shock again, 'It is…' he thought.
"Another Da-zoo," Bastion murmured, "Like Jaden."
"Does any know, who's this other Da-zoo is?" Keiko asked.
Kakashi eyed Atticus, who was frozen shock and knew why, "We don't that, yet?" he said.
"Exactly, how long was the seal supposedly stayed?" Kari asked.
"For the rest of Jaden's life," Koenma said, "Jaden and his Da-zoo side share a single life line. If one's dead, the other follows."
"So, how was the seal broken?" Atticus asked.
"Sartorius's light was the one." Koenma replied, in a solemnly
Everyone gasped at this, Atticus gaped his mouth open, 'Oh no…' he thought, 'That would mean…no it couldn't be…I was there, when her Life Points hit zero! The seal would have broken!'
"You mean when Jaden's Elemental Hero Thunder Giant was destroyed by Aster's Destiny Hero Dreadmaster," Kagome said.
"That was done unintentionally," Koenma said
"Neither Aster nor Sartorius, with his so-called predicts knew about the demon inside of Jaden's body." Keiko said.
"I've got a question," Yusuke turning to Keiko, "The Society of Light tried to kidnap you and I've got a question, how did you escape?"
Jaden and Keiko exchanged looks to each other, "It was me," Jaden said, "You see, my Da-zoo side formed a trap for the Society of Light. They were going to use Keiko as bait to lure you," he pointed at Yusuke, "to the Society and duel for her freedom or join their side. Before we arrived here, my demon side lured Aster and Keiko to the docks and my demon side, lunged and bit them on their shoulders, turning them into demons called Zap-zoo, along with Jasmine, Mindy and Jordan. I tired to warn them about the attack, but it was too late."
"What about those bite marks on your shoulder?" Yusuke asked, pointing at Jaden's shoulder, "And those demon attacks on Jasmine and Mindy happened, when you were unconscious, we saw you."
"That wasn't a bite mark, but claw marks," Jaden said, "My demon side planned them on me, but make it that the demon attacked me as well. Plus, the attacks on Jasmine and Mindy were planned by a shadow clone."
"If you had this demonic side, then why didn't you say anything?" Kari asked.
"I tired that and I even tried to prevent my demon side to carry out his plans," Jaden said, "He told me that if I tired anything to interrupt them, then he'll kill everyone in the Society of Light, including Chazz and Alexis, along with Sartorius. I much as I can't stand Sartorius, I didn't want to kill him. Whenever, I'm at my Da-zoo state, I lose all control of my body and I'm afraid that I'd get human blood on my hands."
"Oh man," Atticus said, "So, you made some kind of deal with him, if you didn't go along with his plans then everyone Society of Light, including my sister would die."
"So that attack at the white dorm's hotel was planned by you?" Bastion said, pointing at Jaden. Jaden nodded, "As a bonus, we kidnapped Chazz."
"You kidnapped Chazz!" Yusuke said.
"Yeah, right now, he's beaten, battered and unconscious at the moment, at a warehouse at the outskirts of Domino. My Da-zoo side thought it would be fun to torture him for even promoting the Society's power in Duel Academy." Jaden said.
"And with everytime Jaden transforms to a demon," Koenma said, "He loses a part of himself and eventually Jaden's human soul would be devoured by his demon blood."
"Like the same when Inuyasha's away from the Tetsusaiga and at the brink of death, his demonic side takes over," Kagome said.
"Precisely," Koenma said, "So Kakashi, here, made a seal that would prevent Jaden from turning into a demon, so quickly. But the seal is not powerful enough to hold the Jaden's demon forever. There will be a time where Jaden's demon side would be sent free."
'How can I tell them?' Atticus thought, worriedly, 'How could I tell them, who's the other Da-zoo?'
