Hey, I know, I know. The 'date' is more like an 'I-want-to-get-to-know-you-more' date then a date-date. Please review. Also want to point out that during the weekends students can wear normal clothing as long as they have on a piece of their school uniform. Claimer: I own the story idea. Disclaimer: I do not own GX or Yugioh.
Jaden paced in his room seething at what Alexis had said earlier that week.
Me going on a date? ARGH!!!!! How did this happen?!?!?!?! He thought angrily.
Yubel sensed her love's anger and wondered why he was so upset.
Jaden? What's wrong? Why are you so angry? She asked worried.
Jaden looked at the case that held Yubel and sighed in frustration.
"It's Rhodes! She won't wear you unless I go on a…a…"
He couldn't say it; he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
A what? Yubel asked gently.
"A…date." He said barley above a whisper.
What did you say? Yubel asked not catching what he said.
"A…date." He said again this time in a louder voice.
What? Sorry, didn't catch that last part. Yubel said.
Jaden clenched his fists in anger and screamed, "A DATE!!!!!"
The shout made everyone on the island jolt in fear at hearing Jaden's voice roar across the island. Yubel was silent for a few seconds before she responded.
Jaden, this is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, if you two are going to get back together after all these years then this is the best way to start. Yubel said trying hard not to laugh.
Jaden glared at the case and growled, "You're no help."
He then walked into his closet and looked at the clothes he had packed for the year.
Classroom
Dr. Crowler sat at the computer terminal and typed out the notice which hurt his fingers which he considered delicate.
Show me up will he? Make my promotion vanish will he? Yuki, if it's the last thing I do I'm going to get you expelled! Crowler thought to himself.
Obelisk Blue Girls' Dorm
"ALEXIS! HURRY UP! ME AND JAZ HAVE TO LOOK OUR BEST FOR JAY-BEAR!" Mindy screeched at the top of her lungs.
"Alright! Alright! But what makes you think Jaden is interested in you?" Alexis asked as she stepped out of the shower and into her room.
"Maybe because we have great bodies." Jasmine said.
"Ummm…hello? You forget who the queen of Obelisk Blue is right?" Alexis said with a crafty smile for once glad that her title could help her.
Both girls looked at Alexis and then, muttering under their breath, left the room. Alexis smirked and chose an outfit for the occasion.
Outside
Jaden stood outside of the Obelisk Blue girls' dorm, brooding over the situation.
"Man, what did I do to deserve this?!?!? All I did was become what destiny wanted me to be!" Jaden said his golden eyes flashing underneath his sunglasses.
He didn't see or hear someone behind him until he heard someone shout.
"JAY-BEAR!" Two voices screamed.
He whipped around and saw Jasmine and Mindy sprinting toward him. Before he could react or run, both pounced on him and began rubbing their faces against both of his cheeks.
"OH! I can't believe it! We were just talking to Alexis about you and here you are!" Mindy cried happily.
Jaden squirmed unhappily between the two while he felt their hands rubbing all over his body.
"OH. MY. GOD! Jaden, you have an extremely hard six-pack!" Jasmine shouted loud enough for people to hear.
Jaden looked around desperate for help but saw that none was coming.
"Aw, man. Somebody get me out of here!" He whispered through clenched teeth.
"JAZ! MINDY! LET GO OF JADEN!" He heard a familiar voice shout.
Finally! The cavalry arrives. He thought as he looked at Alexis.
Alexis walked out to where the trio was and grabbed both girls by the ears.
"OW,OW,OW,OW! LEX, LET GO!" Jasmine whined.
"YEOW! ALEXIS, NOT SO HARD!" Mindy whimpered.
Alexis let go of both girls' ears and glared at them.
"Jaden was waiting out here for me. I asked him to help out with my homework from Professor Banner's class because he took notes and he knows what he's talking about. Now go back to the dorm. And please stop bugging Jaden." She said sternly.
Both girls looked unhappily at Alexis but they began to walk back to their dorm rooms. Mindy quickly blew a kiss to Jaden which made his skin crawl.
Alexis watched both girls walk back but then noticed Mindy blow a kiss to Jaden. A vessel popped on her head at the kiss and she felt anger flow through her.
I'm going to teach Mindy to leave my Jaden alone. Wait, did I just say 'my Jaden'? Argh! Why me?!?! She thought as she rubbed her temples.
"Thanks." Jaden said.
She looked at Jaden and felt her heart skip several beats when she saw him. He was wearing a black t-shirt, which showed off the outline of his abs, with black jeans and his red cape along with the Obelisk blue shoes. He was also wearing black sunglasses.
"Whoa." Alexis muttered.
"What? Why are you staring at me?" Jaden asked angrily.
Alexis shook her head rapidly and said, "Nothing! It's just you look different without your armor that's all."
Jaden looked Alexis over with a keen eye and felt his heart flutter. Alexis was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans along with her Obelisk Blue uniform shoes.
Hmmm…Rhodes does look attractive with those clothes. Wait, What am I thinking?! Yubel is all I need for my life. Jaden thought.
"Jaden? What's up?" Alexis asked when he continued to stare at her.
Jaden shook his head and then replied gruffly, "Nothing. Are we going to stand here all day or do you want to begin our…our…"
Jaden couldn't bring himself to say the word.
"Our date?" Alexis finished.
Jaden just nodded and turned around away from Alexis.
"Hold it." Alexis said.
Jaden stopped and turn back toward her.
"What now?" he asked exasperated.
Suddenly, he saw blinding sunlight as the sunglasses were ripped from his face and then he heard a 'plop' as they hit the lake surface.
"Wh-? Why did you do that?!?!?!?" Jaden hissed.
Alexis giggled and purred, "You really should let those eyes of yours see the sunlight, and besides you look kind of cute with those eyes."
When Jaden heard Alexis say that, he began to feel heat rush to his face. He turned away from Alexis so that she couldn't see the blush and began to walk while Alexis trotted to keep up with him.
I don't believe it! I got the big, bad Jaden Yuki to blush! Alexis thought to herself as she saw the small tint of red grace Jaden's cheeks before he turned away.
"Where do you want to go first?" She heard Jaden ask.
"Uh…how about to the card shack so that we can get a bite to eat?" Alexis suggested.
Jaden just shrugged his shoulders and headed toward Dual Academy campus with Alexis hot on his heels.
Card Shack
When the duo arrived at the card shack, several boys stared at them while all the girls shot a look of jealousy at Alexis. An elderly woman looked at the two and smiled.
"Hi, I'm Dorothy. I'm in charge of the card shack. So what are you two lovebirds looking for?" she asked.
Jaden shifted his feet uncomfortably when Dorothy said 'lovebirds' as well as Alexis.
"We're looking for something to eat. Do you have any suggestions?" Alexis asked blushing.
Dorothy beamed and she mentioned to a box in the center of the room. The box was covered with question marks and there were several students surrounding it.
"Come on, come on, let me be lucky today." A kid wearing a red blazer muttered as he picked up a bag and tore it open.
He bit into two slices of bread and chewed slowly. A few seconds later his face turned green.
"Oh, man! Sardines again? I'm never going to get the Golden Eggwich!" The kid holding the bag cried.
"Face it, you Slifer slackers aren't worth much of anything." A blue student remarked as he dipped his hand into the box.
He grabbed a bag just like the red student, tore it open, and bit into it. He made a face and then spat out the contents.
"ARGH! YUCK! Oh, man, fermented cheese sandwich!" he yelped.
Jaden couldn't help but snicker at the scene the blue was making. Alexis also giggled at the scene as well as the blue tried everything to get the taste out of his mouth.
"Alright, who's laughing at the elite of the elite? Who…" The blue started and then stopped when he saw Jaden and Alexis.
When he saw that Jaden was out of his armor, he smirked until he noticed Jaden's eyes.
"You mind? I would like to get some food sometime this century." Jaden growled as he stopped laughing.
"Huh? Oh, sure, sure. Go ahead." The blue stammered.
"Tailor, when are you going to realize that no Obelisk is going to get the Golden Eggwich?" Alexis said with a small hint of a smile.
Tailor rubbed the back of his neck and opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Jaden picked up twelve sandwiches and paid for them out of his own pocket.
"Come on, Alexis. I've got the food." Jaden said miserably.
Alexis looked at him and nodded.
"Well, see you later Tailor." She said as she followed Jaden out the door.
As soon as she got out, Jaden was waiting for her.
"Jeez, if you were any slower I'd be an old geezer by now!" Jaden huffed.
"Well, if you went any faster I'd be a younger girl by now." Alexis shot back.
OH GOD! Why did I just say that?!?! Alexis thought.
Jaden glanced at her and then shook his head.
"Come on, let's go somewhere less conspicuous." Jaden said as he grabbed her hand.
The minute he touched it, both he and Alexis felt a shock of electricity fly between them. Jaden tried his best to ignore it but he couldn't help but blush.
This is INSANE! I don't have feelings for this girl, even if she was part of my past life! I…love…Yubel! He thought with irritation.
Alexis, on the hand, began to feel her deep and hidden emotions rise to the surface.
He touched my hand! I think I'm going to pass out! He is so cute and handsome with those golden eyes of his. I hope he has feelings for me! She thought dreamily.
Pretty soon, both teens reached a tree that stood by its lonesome and Jaden set the bag down. Alexis sat with her back propped up against the tree and she looked out at the sea.
"It's so peaceful here. I wish the blue dorm has a view this good." Alexis said with a sigh.
Jaden looked at her and saw the way the sunlight made a halo with her hair.
Rhodes looks so beautiful that way. ARGH! Why ME?!?!?!? Why my emotions!?!?!?!?!? Jaden thought in alarm.
Jaden reached into the bag and brought out two sandwich bags, handed one to Alexis and sat down next to her. As he tore open the bag, he began to let his mind wander.
Why?!?!?!? Why do I have these feelings come up every time I'm around her? ERGH! I don't get it, I just don't get it. He thought in exasperation.
He bit into his sandwich the wrong way and felt something sticky squirt onto his face.
"WHAT THE!?" he yelped.
Alexis looked at him and began to crack up.
"Hahahahahahahaha! Oh man, that is priceless! Hahahahahahahaha!" she said through her laughter.
But her laughter was cut off when her something exploded and her entire head was covered in soy sauce. Jaden began to snicker at the way Alexis looked and soon he was rolling around on the ground.
"He…ha…ho…he…he…he. Now that was priceless!" he retorted through his laughter.
Alexis was stock still from the explosion and slowly came back to reality. She looked down at her sandwich and saw that, in her fit of laughter, she had squeezed her sandwich until it had burst.
"Wow, talk about being a blonde." She murmured.
She then looked at Jaden who was lying on the grass catching his breath.
"Well, it's a good thing I brought a towel with us or else we both would be like this until we got back to the dorms." She said.
Jaden looked at her and then took out a washcloth which was wet from out of nowhere. He rubbed his face with it and then handed it to Alexis.
"Here, you take it." He said in a flat tone.
She took it and wiped her face and then used the towel she brought with her to dry off.
"Hey, Jaden?" she asked shyly.
"What?" he asked in annoyed tone.
"You mind telling me a bit about yourself?" Alexis asked.
Jaden sat up and looked at Alexis.
"Humph. Well, I guess I could. What do you want to know about?" he asked.
"Everything." Alexis replied quickly.
Jaden looked at her in surprise.
"Everything? You sure?" he asked uncertain that he heard right.
Alexis nodded her head and he sighed.
"Well, I hope you didn't have plans for tonight because this could take a while." He warned.
"I got time." Alexis replied.
Jaden looked at her and then began to about himself.
An hour later.
Alexis stared in disbelief at what Jaden had just said. When she heard that Jaden's parents had sent his dual spirit to space, she was angry. She knew that having a dual spirit was the coolest thing in the universe but to have parents that sent it to outer space; that was cruel. But when she heard about the natural gas explosion that had made his parents immobile for six years, she smiled.
"Well, I guess that goes to show that what goes around comes around." She said.
"Humph. Yeah, I guess you're right." Jaden replied in a distracted tone.
Alexis looked at him with confusion running in her head.
Why does his tone sound like he's distracted? Could it be that he hasn't gotten his spirit ally back? Better ask him. She thought to herself.
"Jaden?" Alexis asked.
"What?" Jaden said annoyed.
"Did you ever get your spirit ally back?" She asked gently.
Jaden looked at Alexis in the eye but then looked away. He wasn't sure if he should answer or not. He then felt a hand touch his own and he looked at the source. Alexis was touching his hand for reasons that were unknown to him.
"You didn't get her back did you?" Alexis asked in a low voice.
Jaden shook his head and sighed.
"I did get her back." Jaden started.
When Alexis heard that, she felt her heart jump to her throat. But she then got the feeling that Jaden had got her back in a way he didn't want her.
"But she had destroyed her body in order to safely re-enter our atmosphere. She now needs something called dual energy in order to regain her true form and to do that she needs a host."
Alexis looked at him and couldn't help but feel sorry for him and his spirit.
If only there was something I could do to help. Wait! Maybe there is a way I can help. Alexis thought.
"Um…Jade?" Alexis asked nervously.
"What?" Jaden asked as he turned to look at her.
"You said that your spirit needed a host in order to regain her true form, right?" Alexis asked.
"Yeah, I did. I didn't think that you were paying attention." Jaden said in a sarcastic tone.
Alexis ignored the remark and continued to speak, "I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Anyway, why don't you let me be your spirit's host until she's strong enough?"
Jaden stared at her with a shocked expression on his face. He had know that by acting all sad and gloomy would get Alexis to volunteer to be Yubel's host but he hadn't considered it to be this easy.
After a long pause, making it look like Jaden was considering it, Jaden finally spoke.
"Alright, I guess it wouldn't hurt but you better know her name before I let you be her host."Jaden said.
"No problem. What is your spirit's name?" Alexis asked eagerly.
"Her name is Yubel and be wary of her, she likes to play tricks." Jaden said in a warning tone.
Alexis shook her head and smiled at Jaden's concern.
"Awwww, Jaden. I didn't know that you cared." She said in a teasing tone.
Jaden shot a glare at Alexis and sighed in frustration.
"This is no joking matter, Alexis! Yubel will take over your body when you let your guard down and use it to…do things." Jaden said.
It made his heart twist when he spread lies about his favorite monster. It took everything he had not to burst into tears as the words spilled his from his lips. Alexis eyes widen as she imagined what Yubel would do with her body.
"Okay, I get what you're saying Jaden. I'll be on my guard when she is part of me." Alexis said with a shudder.
"Good. Now if anyone asks just say that the arm is a new dual disk that Kaiba Corp wants you to test out. That way no one suspects that anything is amiss." Jaden said.
Alexis nodded and then looked Jaden in the eye. Seeing the gold in his eyes made her heart skip several beats and she had to turn her head in order for him not to see her blush. Jaden reached behind him and took out the football size case. Alexis stared in shock and eyed Jaden suspiciously.
"Were you planning this, Jaden?" Alexis asked accusingly.
"No, I just reached through the darkness to grab the case." Jaden said in an annoyed tone.
Alexis stared at Jaden in disbelief and then shook her head. Jaden looked at her and sighed in anger.
"Don't believe me? Here I show you." Jaden said in a huff.
Before Alexis could stop him, he reached through a shadow of a tree and Alexis saw his arm plunge deep into the ground. Jaden didn't cry out but he grunted signaling that he had grabbed something and pulled it out. In his hand was a pair of boxer shorts that had Cyber Dragon all over them.
"What the devil?" Jaden asked in a confused tone.
Alexis began to crack up when she saw the boxers. She knew all too well who loved Cyber Dragon so much that they were on his boxers.
"OH. MY. GOD. Jaden, do you know whose boxers are in your hands?" Alexis asked through her laughter.
Jaden looked at her like she was insane but shook his head.
"They're Zane Truesdale's boxers!" Alexis cried out before she exploded into laughter.
After she had tears rolling down her face she saw that Jaden was angry. He tossed the boxers back through the shadow and shoved the case that held Yubel's arm into her hands.
"Here. Yubel can't last much longer. The longer you delay putting her on, the less time she has." Jaden said in an angry tone.
Alexis stared after Jaden as he got up, brushed dust off of his pants, picked up the bag of sandwiches, and started to walk back toward the blue dorm. He stopped suddenly, picked a sandwich from the bag that he was carrying and tossed it to Alexis.
"Here. This is to prove you wrong about the comment from earlier." Jaden growled.
Alexis opened her mouth to reply but Jaden turned his back to her and walked off. She opened up the sandwich as she herself got up to head back to her room and bit into it, her mind buzzing. As soon as her taste buds felt the filling of the sandwich she was amazed at how delicious it tasted.
"Huh?" Alexis asked as she took a look at the sandwich and gasped.
Inside the middle of the sandwich was a gleam of gold.
Finally! 15 pages for one fragging chapter! I know that this off subject of the show but I wanted to show that cracks were beginning to form in Jaden's stone heart. Next chapter Harrington duals Jaden for Alexis/Yubel's hand in marriage. And Alexis finds out about her past life from Yubel and Cyber Tutu. I want to point out that next week is spring break for my school so I'll probably be updating twice during next week but don't hold your breath.
