Whose Baby Sakura?

Chapter 5 - Jetting Somewhere.

"So you're off then?" Alexis asked quietly as Jaden threw his last few bags onto a small speedboat.

Jaden sighed heavily. "Yup. I'm off..." He told her.

A few seconds passed with him staring at the ground by his feet and her trying to look through his bang-covered eyes.

She stepped forward and reached for his hands. He accepted gratefully.

"I'll - I mean we'll miss you."

A small smirk appeared on his face. Just a small one. He leaned in so he could whisper in her ear.

"But I'll miss you the most..."

Alexis could feel heat rushing to her cheeks but refused to show it.

Suddenly Syrus ran with tears in his eyes as he glomped Jaden.

"Why'd a have to go now? It's the middle of the school term Jaden! Don't go! We'll miss you!"

Jaden's face remained neutral as he was these past few days. "Sy..." He silently pleaded out loud. "I have to go. It's my family."

"Then why can't Jessie go?" Hassleberry asked. Said Anderson gave him a mild glare with a weak cough. "Uhh...no offence Jessie!"

"-Because Hassleberry..." Jaden looked up from Syrus who he had just managed to pull off from his waist. "Jessie's already been gone for a year...So now his gotta catch up for the school year he lost."

...

"WHAT!" Everyone yelled.

Good job were outside! Jaden thought.

"A year! Jay I thought this trip was only for a short amount of time.

"It is only for a short time!" Jaden blankly replied. Chazz gave him a look that said, are you serious?

Jaden what the heck are you playing at... Alexis wondered.

Jaden looked up to the crew and was about to say something when a very pissed-off Chazz shoved him onto the boat.

Jaden's Pov:

I landed on my back painfully after Chazz pushed me. I gave him a growl as he brushed dust off his black jacket. I felt my eyes going golden around the edges but tried my best to keep calm. No one realised apart from Syrus who looked at me cautiously.

(A/N: This story's set straight after the SOL but before season 3. Let's just imagine Jessie was mentioned in season 1, didn't appear in season 2 'coz he was with Zoey and he started school again in Duel Academy. So no-one knows about his golden eyes yet apart from Jaden, Zoey & Jessie- There'll be NO Haou/Yubel in this story! Yeah? Okay.)

"Finally trying to get rid of me, huh Chazz?" I snickered.

He looked back at me smugly. "You can see you're not wanted Slacker." My face falls back to neutral.

I didn't bother to look at the others faces as I made a final check on the boats gears.

Alexis Pov:

"You can see you're not wanted." Chazz told Jaden harshly. I was about to comment when I saw the others face's...they've never seen so sad...

It can't be true can it? I mean sure Jaden's changed...his different and quieter but surely...surely we still need Jaden right?

...

Am I the only one that feels this way...no...I'm Alexis Rhodes...Queen of the Obelisk Girls Dorms...Miss. Independent, I don't need anyone...

Right?

Jaden's backs turned so we all watch him as he silently checks the gears on the boat. All the time refusing to make eye-contact with us.

Jaden straightened up and looked as if he was ready to go. I couldn't take the silence anymore.

And neither could Jessie it would seem, since he beat me to it.

Jaden's Pov:

(A/N:Bold is Jaden, underlined is Jessie, Italics with brackets is Kuriboh. But only without speech marks)

I leaned back up. Okay that's it...ready; fuel's all full to the max...ready to go. Ready to leave.

Boh...(Say goodbye.)

I don't want to say goodbye, it'll be too awkward...

Boh! Boh! (Do it! Otherwise you'll regret it!)

No I won't! Now zip it Kuriboh before Jessie tunes in and hea-

The boat gently bobbed up and down in the water from the sudden change in weight. Jessie grabbed the piece of cloth behind my Slifer Jacket and glomped my back into his chest. He folds an arm around me threateningly. Of course from the gang's eyes it looks as if were just hugging. I could feel his chin on my shoulder.

Don't make me kill you...

I heard what you said to Kuriboh lil' Bo-Boh...

I hate you...And don't listen into our conversations! And DON'T CALL ME BO-BOH!

Blame the telepathy from being Twins! I couldn't help it!

Wait...

"Did you just say LIL bro?" I say without turning around to face him.

"Nope...I said lil' BO-BOH..." He coolly replies.

I turned around and glared angrily at him. He must have seen my eyes changing 'coz he flicked me straight in the forehead...that or he just wanted to annoy me. I stomped.

"I'm not a Kuriboh!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"I'm not little!"

"I'M OLDER!"

"Two minutes doesn't count!"

"Does too!"

"Does not!"

"Jessie!"

We are NOT getting into this AGAIN!

Fine, but you started it...

I gave him a glare but he shrugged it off. I noticed everyone was starting to look at us weirdly.

Alexis Pov:

Jessie ran up behind Jaden and held him from the back. I resisted the urge to coo from the close brotherness.

They were quiet for a while before I heard Jaden distinctly say something like "Did you just call me little bro?"

I realised they both started arguing again. And I wasn't the only one, the whole gang started to give them strange looks – even Zane! Jessie flicked Jaden's head. Very manly I noted. They started fighting about their age again when they suddenly stopped.

A curious look appeared on my face as did the rest of the gang. Jaden & Jessie looked at each other in some sort of silent communication before they looked back at us.

Jaden saw into my eyes first. His small smile he built up during his 'fight' with Jessie faded as he turned the other way. Jessie leaned onto Jaden's shoulder and I heard him whisper something. They were too quiet to decipher though.

Jaden sighed but nodded to Jessie after they had their talk. Jaden looked at us and called goodbye to each of us whilst Jessie jumped out of the boat and onto shore with a smirk.

"A duel's not over till the last cards played you guys...So I'm still waiting for that re-match!" He ended with his signature pose. We all smiled and waved him off. We all noticed that Syrus had started crying waterfalls but merely ignored it.

Oh, yes it was a sentimental moment with our Slifer Hero sailing away into the sunset horizon...

Until...

"JESSIE!"

We all stopped waving at the sound of our Slifer Hero. We turned to his brother, the Crystal Beast Expert. Jessie simply stood there with his eyes closed and arms crossed. When he sensed us watching him he opened one eyelid.

"Let's all head back before Curfew..."

We just dumbly nodded, our hands still raised from waving and made our way too our respected dorms.

I looked back to the water. Jaden completely disappeared now.

"I'll be waiting for you Jay..."

Jaden's Pov:

Everyone was looking at me and Jess weirdly.

Uhh...okay...

I ignored Jessie's comment. I looked up at the gang. My heart fell when I saw her eyes. Alexis's eyes. Her face was trying to be strong, I knew it. It took all my might to not run up and comfort her, but I knew what had to be done. I have to go. I turned back around to the wheel.

If you don't get out then I'm pushin ya over-board...

Jessie turned around back at me and whispered in my ear.

"Don't do anything you'll regret. I understand how you feel. Talk to her."

I sighed and nodded to him. He was right. If I didn't then I'll be thinking about her too much whilst I'm away.

"A duel's not over till the last cards played you guys...So I'm still waiting for that re-match!"

It didn't come out the way I wanted too but it seemed to work. The gang seemed to have cheered up…

...Well apart from Syrus who was crying enough to fill up waterfalls. Good job Zane was holding onto him! I smiled and Jessie jumped back onto the shore.

Show-off... He smirked.

I started the engine and started to sail off away from Duel Academy as my friends waved me off. I noticed however Jessie seemed suspiciously cool about this.

Boh-Boh!... That's strange!

Yeah...Jessie either usually way too-overprotective of me to ever let me out of his sight. (Thankfully he hadn't been like that since he started school here.) Or his planning a trick on me...

Boh...Boh. Yeah that's not like him. He wouldn't do that.

Yeah you're right I'm just over-thinking this! I raise a hand behind my head the other on the steering wheel and chuckle.

We were about halfway out of the port...but not far enough for Jessie to 'say' to me...

You didn't give your fiancé a good-bye kiss? She's gonna miss ya even more now!

"JESSIE!"

(A/N: Another chapter ended. I realised this was sorta going angst when this is meant to be a comedy fic so I put Jessie in here. Hope you guys are following, if you are please review! I accept anonymous reviews! Please anyone?

Oh and if you're a Zane or Atticus fan then just wait till the next chapter! It's kinda short though!)
