Jaden: The Fallen Angel of Destruction

Chapter Six

By KellyQ

Jaden's trainer, Professor Banner looked at the announcement sheet. He narrowed his eyes as his eye-brows knitted together. Since when were teachers able to switch things around? There was something fishy about this. No one was allowed to train Jaden but Banner - Yami had made sure of it when he talked to the Principal.

"What ya got there, teach?" came the voice of Jaden, who was standing by his side, peering over his shoulder.

Professor Banner quickly folded the paper up, but failed to notice that Jesse was standing on the other side of him looking at the paper too. Banner put the paper in his pocket and told the two boys that he was going to fix Jaden's schedule. Banner walked out of the room stiffly, to talk to Shepered.

Jesse looked back at Jaden. "That was your trainer?"

Jaden sighed. He knew that Jesse wasn't going to be to impressed with Banner. "Yeah. I know he's not much, but he's a cool guy."

"I'm sure ..." Jesse smiled. But something about that piece of paper bugs me ...

"Hey, slacker," came a taunting voice that Jaden recognized.

The brown haired teen smirked and turned to see his friend and rival, Chazz. The dark haired teen was standing next to his trainer - Crowler. Jesse raised a brow when he saw the blond. He had long blond hair, pulled back. The front and back of his hair was cut in a bobed style. Crowler's skin was pale, and his lips were puple. He had a dubble chin, and the long earings he wore on each ear had crescent moons.

"Uhhh ... Jay," Jesse murmured to Jaden. "Is that a guy or a girl?"

Ruby slowly walked up to Chazz and tried to sniff him. The young Princeton eyed the creature disdainfully "Come near me and I won't hesitate to yank your ears out."

Crowler looked down at Ruby and yelped at the sight of her. "W-what is that thing!" He screeched. "Get rid of it, Chazz!"

The black haired teen rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. He was not in the mood to deal with his trainer. "Will you shut up, Crowler ..."

Jaden couldn't help but chuckle at the scene before him. He had to admit that he was was amused. Crowler calmed down when Ruby ran to Jesse.

"I have an idea. How about we spar? Who ever wins, gets to use this room for training. So, what do you say, slacker?" Chazz taunted.

Jesse watched Jaden closely and saw amusement in his eyes. The green-eyed teen looked back at Chazz to see the same thing.

"Alright. You can start," Crowler sighed.

"I'm going to enjoy kicking your ass, slacker," Chazz said walking to the other side of the room.

Yami walked into the house and placed his bag and shoes next to the door. He walked into the living room to fin his Aibou talking on the phone.

"...Oh, wait. He's right here. Yami, it's Banner. He wants to talk to you. And Pegasus left a message ..."

"I'll listen to the message later," Yami said taking the phone. "Hello? What's going on? What?! Oh. I see. I'll be there as soon I can. In the meantime, make sure that Jaden doesn't do anything that will stress him out."

This doesn't sound good, Yugi thought. He watched Yami put the phone back in the cradle. "Is everything alright?"

Yami shook his head. "What did Pegasus want?"

"The message didn't say much. Just call him back about meeting his new pupil, Jesse Anderson." Yugi explained.

Jesse watched the fight closely. Jaden moved out of the way of Chazz's The Ojama attack: a vine that spiraled out of the ground. Chazz watched his opponent move to the right. The dark haired boy looked back at Jesse to see that the green-haired teen was trying to refrain from entering the fight.

"Incoming!" Jaden shouted.

Chazz turned and his eyes widened at that the funnel of water coming toward him. The young Princeton didn't have time to move out of the way, and he ended up getting soaked.

"Serves you right," Jaden huffed. "You don't need to be staring at Jesse when I'm over here."

Chazz smirked with amusement, and moved his hand an inch. A thick vine came out of the ground, ready to latch itsself on to Jaden's ankle.

"Jay ...!" Jesse called out.

The warning came too late. The vine coiled around Jaden's ankle, and lifted him five feet into the air. Jesse saw Jaden's eyes widened in horror. It changed to annoyance when Jaden felt his body dangle upside down for a moment.

"It looks like I win," Chazz announced. He stared back at Jesse before looking back at his rival. "Now get lost, and take your boyfriend with you."

With that, he waved his hand in front of his face. The vines vanished and Jaden found himself falling. Jesse's eyes widened in disbelief. He ran up and caught Jaden before he hit the ground. Jesse narrowed his eyes at Chazz. He was about to make a remark when Jaden started to laugh.

"That was fun!"

"Huh? Uhh ... Jay – are you alright?" Jesse asked slowly, wondering why his crush was acting like it was okay to be dropped.

"I'm fine, Jesse. He does it all the time," Jaden answered.

After Jaden and Jesse left, Crowler walked up. "What was that all about?" he asked the young Princeton.

"I just wanted to see if my suspicions were correct."

" 'Suspicions'? About what?" Crowler asked vacantly.

Chazz grumbled under his breath about how stupid his trainer was. "Didn't you see the hickey on Jaden's neck?"

"Oh. I thought it was a spider bite ..."

The dark haired teen smacked his forehead out of frustration. "I guess I'll have to spell it out for you. Jaden and Jesse have hots for each other."
