Now for a quick review response
To theabridgedkuriboh: Yah they were but I've seen worse. Maybe Cronos isn't such a bad guy. Now we get to learn about Johan's reaction to meeting Judai! Manjoume is a jerk but ya gotta love him!
Trilladora: I only like Chronos because of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX The Abridged Series! He does make me laugh with his ugliness though! If you liked that, you will love the next few chapters. TONS OF CUTENESS! Ugh, so much fluff. Haha, Manjoume is a hater, but he still is one of my favorite GX characters. I will try to hurry with the plushies but I don't know how many chapters the fanfic will be.
Celestialfae : Well, Majoume is weird that way. He switches back and forth between other fandoms so that he will look cool. When yo Manjoume Thunder you gots ta be da hippest thing around! I still love Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! Judai does have it pretty hard life. ; - ; Johan plays in a lot more farther in, and he also has a lot more to do with the plot.
Me: Time for a new chapter and I made sure this one was a longer one! But, I feel like this chapter suck…
Phredrik: Really? Took you long enough
Me:HEY! I have play practice every friggin day till 8. Once I get home I sleep. These things are hard to write. Especially punctuation. Semicolons are scary! I can barely fit enough into this either. See how unnecessarily long convo's? Yah, they are space fillers. :)
Phredrik: And that's why half the readers are probably going to be annoyed by us?
Me: Pretty much!
Phredrik: Well, do we finally get to see where Judai works?
Me: Sorry You'll have to wait till the next chapter! I will switch POV's throughout the story for now on
Johan's POV
I latched my fingers tightly around the younger boys wrist ,pulling him hastily down the isles of lockers and students heading towards their next class. My thumb grazed against the nerve in his wrist and I could feel his pulse beating rapidly. We both came to a stop at an intersection. Down each hallway was identical looking classrooms and lockers. I wouldn't be surprised if I were to get myself lost in this maze. Luckily, I had my new friend Judai to direct me to my classes. I looked back at my new friend, panting heavily and trying to regain his breath. A slight blush fluttered across my cheeks, just now realizing that I had not warned him before dragging him along beside me. I rubbed my thumb in circles across his wrist in an attempt to slow his heart rate. It didn't help much, for he just pulled his hand away; obviously surprised by my sudden actions.
"Your class is this way." He said directing me towards a small door at the end of one of the long hallways. I could sense the fact he was trying to avoid another awkward situation. His attempts didn't take much affect. Everything about me was awkward at the moment. The uncomfortable feeling of breathlessness filling my lungs. The acute tension in my muscles which occurs whenever I was nervous. My motionless stance in the middle of a people flooded hallway. My hand, yearning to be wrapped back around the smaller boys wrist and the other pressed deeply into his free hand.
Wait, what am I thinking? He's a boy! I'm a boy! How could I even be having thoughts like that? It isn't natural! Guys aren't supposed to feel this way about each other, right? I can't let him find out I feel for him that way. Or at lease, not yet. No, not ever! I am not even sure I like him like that. I just met the kid, for Christ sakes! Now was not the time to think like this. Not when he is standing right in front of me. I need to get away from him as soon as possible!
With that, I walked quickly towards my classroom, giving him a quick wave of my hand to thank him for his guidance. He flashed a goofy looking grin back at me as to say No problem, buddy! Good luck with your smart people classes.
I pulled open the door to the Pre-calculus room, but stopped to look back at him before going in. He was standing in the doorway of the room next to mine, talking to the smaller blunet from earlier. I was about to go into my classroom, when suddenly, I heard his voice yell out from behind me. " See ya after class, Johan!" He had yelled.
I felt a small smile spread across my face. "See you after class" I repeated under my breath. I walked into the classroom ,which was flooded with upperclassmen; most of which where about twice my size. A uncomfortable feeling flushed my body. How I hated upperclassmen. At my old school, the older students always thought they could push around the younger students. Why would it be any different here? It was probably best for me to keep my mouth shut and not bother anyone.
I took my seat at the back of the classroom, not wanting to draw any more attention then what my bright blue hair had already brought me. I looked up at the chalkboard to see a young-looking man with curly hair and french styled mustache etching something on the board with chalk. He wore a goofy looking red suit that was covered in white numbers.
When he was done writing on the board, he spun around and acknowledged the entire class. Printed on the chalkboard in big white letters was the name "Mr. Mathmatica". It was quiet ironic for a math teacher to have such a name. He began babbling on about the lesson he was teaching us that day, but I didn't care enough to listen. I didn't know if it was just me, or if this guys rhymes every new concept he teaches.
My mind was to preoccupied to learn. All those thoughts I had about my new friend were back. Had I actually befriended the boy I had seen yesterday. Judai's eyes, they had to be the ones from before. I have to get to know him more! All the other students here are a bore! Wait, Am I rhyming? Damn, this teacher is getting to me!
The more the teacher talked, the more thoughts flooded into my head. Thoughts about moving and about the weird pattern of the houses. I thought about what had happened at the dinner table last night with my brother Axel. This guilt will eat me alive. Why couldn't you just take out your anger on me then and there. Not only did I have to live with the guilt, but with the fear that my brother would seek his revenge on me at any moment. My thoughts came to an abrupt stop from hearing the teacher call out my name.
"And the answer to the problem would be? Anyone? How about you, Johan Andersen, in the back?
An electric current of fear rushed through my body. I had been caught! In a panic, I looked up at the equation etched on the chalk board. It wasn't anything near familiar to my knowledge. "Eighteen?" I guessed in a shaky voice. This is it! I screwed it up. Now everyone in the class is going to think I'm a pathetic freshman!
"C-correct!" The Prof. Mathmatica announced in an astonished voice. "That is absolutely correct. Great job, Johan."
"Really?" I said in a voice more dumbfounded than his. Phew. I must have been the most luckiest man on the world that day. God sure was looking out for me.
I listened to his lesson the rest of the hour, terrified by the fact he may ask another question. Luckily, the bell saved me just in time. I quickly gathered my things and ran to the door, but I was pulled back by a mysterious force tugging on the side of my jacket. I looked back to see it was a hand of a boy in a yellow polo and white coloured dress pants.
"Hello, I'm Diachi Misawa, but you might recognize me as The International Mathematical Olympiad: First Place Runner-up." He said with a grin.
"Nope, never heard of you." I replied back.
"Well, aren't you a little blunt. You sure you have NEVER heard of me?
"I'm positive."
"Of course you haven't." He said with a weak laugh.
I ducked and squeezed my way through hoards of hungry students headed towards the cafeteria, avoiding every threat of me being knocked over and trampled upon. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the brunet walking alone towards the bathroom. Now was my chance. I was so anxious to get to the boy, I didn't even notice he was wearing different clothes then he had worn last hour. I bolted forward and grabbed the brunet by his shoulder. No response. Maybe he doesn't realize I grabbed his shoulder.
"H-hey Judai!" I said in a cheery voice. Still no response, this bothered me immensely. I gripped the boy's shoulder tightly and with a sudden jerk, twisted him around so he faced me. But, I was not met with the brown cheery eyes I had become so fond of. They were cold and stiff and coloured a demented shade of gold. They stared into my soul like daggers, penetrating everything in their path. They didn't even resemble the eyes from before. They where harsh and uninviting. I quickly released my grip on his shoulder, stumbling backwards in a bewildered state. "J-Judai?" I asked in a shaky voice. Yet again, no response. The boy just seemed to deepen his glare at me. Thus, sending a rippling sock current through my blood stream.
"You have the wrong person. Judai is my younger brother. My name is Haou Yuki, and I can assure you that I am not him." He said in a harsh tone, seeming to be offend by my unintentional slip-up.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I said in a nervous heap, not wanting to strike a tension between me and the boy. I could hear him mumbling under his breath as he sharply turned and started heading the opposite direction of the original path he was taking. Phew. Looks like Judai has a few identical looking siblings he hadn't warned me about. But, if he wasn't Judai, then where is he?
Judai's POV
I shot straight out of my desk as the bell announced the end of the hour. Lucky for me, the next hour was my favorite hour. Lunch! Best of all, today was Friday which means they are serving fried shrimp! I eagerly gathered my things and meet up with Sho in the Hallway. He was looking rather down, the way his held was tilted toward the ground as he scuffed his feet against the hallway floors.
"Man, I swear that one day Prof. Cobra is gonna kill someone with all the homework he gives us. Hey there buddy, are you ok?" I asked while giving him a light shove on the back.
"Oh, hey there Aniki," He sighed," No, I-I'm fine. I'm just thinking." Aniki was the nickname Sho had come up with for me ever since we became friends. Though Sho has an actual older brother, he wasn't always there for him when he was younger. I didn't mind him referring to me as his own brother much. It had seemed to fill the gap that Haou had left when our parents divorced. There really wasn't a better brother to have then Sho.
"Come on Sho, you can tell me anything. We're best friends for god sakes!" I reassured him.
"I would but it's a secret."
"Well, I like secrets" I said with a goofy grin.
"Well, that's nice to know but I am still not telling you."
" Awwww! Why not?" I pouted.
"Because then it wouldn't be a secret, now would it?" He said with a smirk.
"I guess not."
"Exactly!"
"But why is it a secret?" I asked.
"Because I'm not telling you!"
"Why can't you tell me?"
"Because it's a secret!" He snapped back rather annoyed.
"Secrets are stupid!"
"Judai, you just said you liked secrets a second ago."
"Well now their stupid."
"Your stupid!"
"Well, your mom's face is stupid…last night."
"Seriously Judai, how is this even convincing me to tell you. Sorry to tell ya, but your just making an idiot out of yourself."
"Sho, when did you get so mean!?"
"It happens, Ryo is my brother."
"Come on Sho! Please tell me." I begged
"Nope."
"Come on. It's not like I'll laugh or anything." I pleaded some more.
"If I tell you, would you please leave me alone?
"Yah. Sure. Whatever. Just tell me!" The suspense was obviously killing me.
"Well," He said with a deep breath," It's Asuka. I-I think I may like her ,but I have no clue how to tell her. She wouldn't even like me anyways."
I stopped in my tracks, only a few yards from the door of the cafeteria. Sho likes Asuka!? How could I not have noticed it before? She was our best our best friend since second grade! "Asuka?" I said still I a state of shock.
"Yah, but it doesn't matter anyways. She's already dating Manjoume. If anyone, she likes you more than me."
"No she doesn't!" I snapped back quickly.
"Judai, your really are clueless aren't you." With that, he walked through the big wooden doors to the Cafeteria room. I had to run just to keep up with him. Inside I grabbed a large lunch tray and caught back up with Sho, whom was waiting in line to receive his food.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
" Judai, I am sorry to have to be the one to break it to ya, but you aren't very good at reading people very well. Or, at lease your very in denial."
"Hey, no I am not! Sho, why are you so mean today?
"I'm sorry ,Judai. I guess your right. I've just had a bad day and I shouldn't take it out on other people."He said.
We had finally reached the front of the line and I was eagerly waiting for our lunch lady Tome-san to plop a fresh bundle of fried shrimp onto my plate. I excitedly stood on my tip-toes to look over the counter as she slopped a big hunk into her ladle and slapped it onto my plate.
"Uh, Tome-san?" I asked, eyeing the mountain of mush as it jiggled like jello, though, I was certain it wasn't a type of jello in any sort," How long did you cook the shrimp?"
She looked at me with a slight frown on her face, knowing the time had come to finally break the horrible knows to me. "Gomen, but we are no longer serving shrimp on Friday's. We had to cut costs and shrimp are a little pricey. But, hopefully this free cookie will make it up." She said handing me a huge chocolate chip cookie.
I didn't reply or even move, I just frowned and stared at the lonely cookie in the corner of my plate. Sho had to pull me away from the line before my hungry classmates pummeled me into the floor. We walked down the isles of lunch tables, all filled with talkative teenagers. I didn't care to look at any one of them, still horribly depressed from my rising disappointment.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a familiar brunet waving in our direction. He was tall, handsome, and in desperate need of a hair cut. In his right hand was a small, flower covered ukulele, which he barely knew how to play. Next to him sat a Ryo, Sho's older, less energetic brother. Sho grabbed me by the sleeve of my baggy, old T-shirt and pulled me down into a seat across from the two older boys.
"What's up, guys?" Fabuki ruffled our hair and laughed.
"Nothing much," Sho said.
"But, there is a new kid. His name is Johan, Johan Andersen. Not only that ,but he plays Duel Monsters!" I replied excitedly.
"Sweet!" Fabuki said, " A new opponent for me and Ryo to destroy. But, the real question is, is he hot?" He asked with a smirk.
"W-what!?" I asked in a nervous voice.
"He is foreign! He has to be a little hot. On a scale 1-10, how hot is he?" He asked with a snicker.
"W-well," I stumbled over my words," A seven." I lied. He wasn't anything close to a seven. Clearly, he was worthy of at lease a nine or even ten. But, I couldn't bare telling the boys, especially Fabuki. You tell that boy one thing and there he goes, off and thinking you're in love with the boy and trying to set you up on five-million dates with him. I couldn't lie to myself. He was clearly a ten, even if he was a boy.
"Just a seven?" He asked slightly disappointed.
"Yup, just a seven." I replied plainly. Fabuki just gave a little pout and soon lost interest." Anyways, how about your guy's day? I asked.
"Not much either." Ryo replied plainly.
"Not much?" Fabuki screeched as he shot straight up out of his chair. Ryo only replied to him with a puzzled expression, which made Fabuki more enraged. " How could you say our love is Nothing much. I can't believe you wont even tell your own brother about our relationship. It really hurts that you hide our love from your family, Ryo." He said in a quieter tone. Ryo shot him a sharp glance as to tell him he just made a huge mistake.
"Wait, you guys are dating?" Sho asked.
Before either of them could respond, I shot out of my chair in excitement and began yelling at the top of my lungs. "I knew it" I cried ,"I just knew that there was something going on with you two! I called it, didn't I Sho? You and Fabuki are––"
"Why don't you just tell the whole god damn school!" Ryou whispered in my ear, his hand muffled over my mouth. I looked around, realizing that the entire school had dropped what they had previously been doing, and now were staring straight at us.
I uncomfortably sat back down into my seat, not wanting to draw any more unwanted attention. "Sorry" I whispered under my breath.
Suddenly, I felt a pair of arms reach out and clutch clumps of my chocolate-brown hair, pulling me back into a tight embrace. "Ryo, don't hurt the boy." Fabuki pleaded."It is not his fault. He is still young and he does not think before he speaks. Take pity on his poor lonely soul" Fabuki said ever so dramatically while stroking the top of my head with his hand. Ryo just growled and went back to eating his sacked lunch like he was before.
I struggled to push myself out of Fabuki's tight grasps,though his embrace had turned into more of a head lock. "Get off me you crazy, old hippie!" I screeched. He just fell back onto the floor and began laughing like an idiot.
How can this clumsy imbecile be dating Ryo? I mean, Ryo's just…himself! It's a surprise he hasn't already murdered him in cold blood when they were friends! Ryo is so serious and he is always pushing to be the best and Fubuki is, well, a lazy arse! He never takes anything seriously and half the time he is off playing retched tunes on his ukulele! Not to mention how much of a complete drama queen he is!
Could Ryo actually be attracted to this guy. Well, I guess opposites really do attract. Either that or Fabuki is a king in the bedroom. But, those thoughts aside. I guess even the heartless can love. Maybe there is someone out there for everyone, everyone but me that is. What am I saying? Fabuki and Ryo will never last, will they?
Johan's POV
I walked through the isles upon isles of students ,some giving strange and different glances as I walked past. I walked by a group of girls at a table who, once I had passed them, began gossiping among themselves. One even flashed a suggestive glance in my direction, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable so I kept on walking. I walked to a vacant table in the corner of the large lunchroom and placed my lunch sack down.
Letting my body slump down into my seat, I carefully unraveled the Renald's Wrap off my turkey and cheese sandwich, which was cut into small little sailboat shaped pieces, and slipped a few bites into my mouth. I noticed that some people around me had directed their conversations towards me, but I tried my hardest to not let it bother me. Still, a flood of uneasy stillness overcame my body.
Glancing over to the table next to me, I saw Judai and his eyes met mine. But, his eyes where not filled with his normal joyful expression, but instead with fear and shock. This made me even more anxious than before. They seemed to send me a message saying If you don't move now, you're going to receive a huge arse beating. I took the message in quickly and hastily began packing my lunch back into its sack. I stood up out of my seat and spun around, only to meet a huge mass blocking my path.
"That's our table." The boy growled angrily.
I froze in my steps, slowly scaling the large boy with my eyes. He was tan, fit, and about twice my size. The sleeves of his shirt had been torn off and he appeared to be dressed in some sort of military outfit. His thick, black hair was slicked back into tight cornrows and around his neck hung what looked like a dinosaur skull.
I felt my body begin to tremble and my knees near to the point of collapsing in. Before I knew it, I was beginning to hyperventilating in fear. "I-I didn't k-know" I stuttered, barely even able to speak.
"Look who we have that new kid from Language Arts class." A annoying voice snickered behind the larger boy.
"He was at our table, Manjoume." The larger boy replied
"Well, we just can't have that, now can we Kenzan? Why don't you show our little friend to a new table."
With that, the larger boy gripped onto the collar of my T-shirt, and began hoisting me up into the air. I could feel my feet being lifted of the ground, and began kicking them wildly in a frantic panic.
" Leave him alone, Kenzan" Someone had yelled from beyond my view.
"What's it to you if I bash his head in, Ryo?" He asked.
"Because, he hasn't even done anything wrong. Also, I thought our writer at lease had enough originality to not write in a fight scene in the second day of the story. I mean, who doesn't write a random fight in at inappropriate times throughout their story. "
" What the hell…?"
" What I am trying to say is, if you don't drop that boy now, I will come into your room while you sleep, and pour hot acid down your throat." Ryo growled.
Suddenly, I felt my body drop to the floor in a huge heap. Hitting my head against the floor, I scrambled into a confused state. The impact of my head with the cold tiles sent a blood curdling crack that bounced off every corner of the room. Everyone in the entire cafeteria was now quiet. They where all staring at me, my body laying pathetically on the lunch room floor, and the two older teens that where fighting behind me.
"Johan!" I heard someone scream, though, I wasn't able to see who had screamed because I was still dazed from my sudden shock and fall. I felt two hands prop my head on something and then rub their fingers across my cheeks, brushing the hair away from in front of them. "Johan, a-are you ok," said a soft voice.
I shook my head frantically, trying to regain my composure. "Shhh, don't strain yourself." A soothing voice cooed. I could feel their hand run across my forehead, brushing my bright blue bangs away. Slowly, my eyes fluttered open. Two chocolate-brown orbs glowed above me and sparkle like honey. It wasn't long before I realized who the orbs belonged to.
"J-Judai?" I asked hazily, feeling my face begin to flutter red. It was him.
"What is it?" He asked with a concerned tone in his voice.
"What are you–Uhhnn!" I cried, grabbing bundles of my hair in my hand, trying to control the constant throbbing of my head. The pain sent my eyes in a scrambled dash, looking left and right in a frenzy. To our left, a long-haired brunet was making a huge fuss over what had just happened, which obviously, he exaggerated. To our right, Sho was trying his best to fight off Manjoume, but seemed no match for the larger boy who just pushed him away every time he got relatively close.
"Johan!" Judai cried. He began brushing his fingers against the side of my temples as to sooth the head ache already raging inside of me. To no avail. My vision slowly became clouded and dusty. Like an enormous black vapour had completely seeped itself into everything. Shouts of students and teachers where now muffled in my ears. An unpleasant sensation cast across my body. I couldn't feel my hands or my feet and my legs were beginning to go numb.
I can't faint now! Not here! Not with Judai here. Not with him this close to me. Why can't I get him out of my head!
Ever since I was younger, I had a problem with fainting. Though, I was relatively healthy and built myself up as strong as possible, I still wasn't the toughest guy around. My mother just told me I had fragile bones, especially my skull. Even the smallest of bumps can send me in a day long head ache or even cause me to faint. These were one of those cases.
I could barely feel Judai's hand pat against my cheek, in an effort to wake me up. It was no use. I could feel my body quickly slipping away from what is reality and what was the dark horrid depths of my mind. Twisted in every way imaginable. I looked up at his concerned face and let out a sigh before letting my body fall into a deep state of unconsciousness.
Phredrik: That was a …weird chapter.
Me: Yah, I sort of hate this chapter for a few reasons. I feel like it's a little cheesy but….hey I am a little cheesy sometimes. Plus, I suck at proofreading and I always want to repeat word over and over again in my sentences. Like the sentence I _. Like I could feelthat Blah blah bland then the sentence after I soon HUBBADUBBADUBBA.
Phredrik: It's ok, you will get better! Anywho, all that are reading this should drop a review!
Me: Yah! Let me know! Do you like it? Do you think it is to cheesy? what do you wanna see next? What's your favorite colour? Should I write a lemon into this story in one of the chapters?
