Chapter 10

The next day Alexis was sitting in class and saw that Jaden wasn't there but class hasn't even started and Jaden always arrived at the last second but she was still worried about him. He heard everyone talking about Jaden because no one has seen him after class finished yesterday. Alexis was hoping that Jaden had overslept but she was almost 100% sure that he hasn't overslept. The first teacher of today was Banner.

When Banner entered the class it took him five minutes before everyone was silence and began with his class. He noticed that Jaden wasn't there and asked if anyone has seen him because normally Jaden walked in the class twenty minutes after class began but the first class was almost finished and he still hasn't entered the class. Alexis didn't say anything because she knew what probably happened to Jaden but hasn't told anyone and didn't intend to tell anyone. Banner left the class after it was finished and everyone waited for Crowler to walk in the class.

The first thing Crowler did when he entered the class was making fun of Jaden. Almost no one laughed except Chazz and a few other obelisks. This made Alexis angry but she didn't show it. Alexis wasn't paying attention in class and everyone noticed it.

"What's wrong with you? You haven't said anything from the beginning of today and we haven't seen you after you told us that you would go to your room," Mindy said.

"Huh, what?" Alexis asked.

"Do you know what's wrong with Jaden?" Mindy asked.

"N-no I don't, I'm just tired that's all," Alexis said.

"If you say so," Mindy said knowing that she's lying.

"Maybe you need me having next to you," Chazz said smiling and stood up.

"Don't try to come here!" Alexis said furious and everyone was scared because almost no one has seen Alexis mad before. The few people who have seen her mad before knew that you shouldn't get her mad.

Crowler didn't say anything to Alexis because she was her top student. Actually Jaden was the top student but Crowler hated him so he still calls Jaden a 'slacker'. After class was finished Alexis was the first one to leave which was the first time. Everyone thought that she knew what happened to Jaden but she told everyone that she didn't knew.

She was walking to the place where she left Jaden yesterday. Each few minutes she looked back to see if anyone was following her. She didn't hear or see anyone so she knew no one was following her.

After fifteen minutes walking she saw someone or something. When Alexis saw it she saw that it had two wings so Alexis knew she wasn't a human. Alexis approached it slowly and it turned around and saw it had three eyes. Alexis thought she had seen her before but she couldn't remember when or where. After a few minutes thinking she remembered where she had seen it. "You-You're Jaden's duel monster," Alexis said and it nodded. "Are you Yubel?" Alexis asked.

"It took you long to remember," Yubel said smiling. "Why have you returned?" Yubel asked.

"I want to know what happened with Jaden because I haven't seen him since I left him yesterday," Alexis said.

"I don't know if that's a good idea," Yubel said.

"I want to see him, it's my fault that he's hurt," Alexis said with a few tears.

"It wasn't your fault. He wanted to make sure you where save," Yubel said and then turned around to bring Alexis to Jaden. After a few minutes they reached Jaden and Alexis gulped.

She saw that Jaden's T-shirt was red now and it was almost completely destroyed. She also saw that he was unconscious but you could still see that he was in a lot of pain. His pants was also ripped apart a bit. "W-what h-happened to h-him?" Alexis asked.

"After you left two other persons appeared and grabbed Jaden but he got free and ran away but he turned around to look what they were doing and saw that one of them was pointing a gun to him. He shot and the bullet hit Jaden in his shoulder and the rest I will let tell Jaden you," Yubel said.

It took Alexis a few minutes to recover from the shock and a few more minutes before she could say anything. "What are we going to do?" Alexis asked.

"Call this number and tell that Jaden's hurt and he will come and fix everything," Yubel said and gave Alexis a paper.

"How am I going to make a call if we aren't allowed to have a phone with us?" Alexis asked.

"Jaden has a phone in his right pocket," Yubel said and pointed to his pocket.

"He knows that we can't have a phone a still he has one," Alexis said sighing and grabbed the phone in Jaden's pocket.

"One more thing. If you think you have the wrong number you don't," Yubel said which made Alexis confused. Yubel sighed, "You'll find out," Yubel saidand Alexis nodded and called the number that stood on the paper.

After a few seconds the person picked up the phone. "Hello?" he asked.

"I'm sorry for calling you but someone told me to call this number because something happened to Jaden and she told me you could help him," Alexis said.

"Has that person two wings, three eyes and is she called Yubel," he asked which made Alexis shocked.

"H-how do you k-know that?" Alexis asked.

"I'm a Jaden's best friend and I know everything about him," the person said.

"Can you help Jaden?" Alexis asked hoping he would say 'yes'.

"Of course I can. I'll come to duel academy tomorrow," he said.

"Can I know your name so I'll remember who you are?" Alexis asked politely.

Alexis heard him laugh for a few seconds. "Of course you can. My name is Yugi Moto," Yugi said which surprised Alexis.

"m-my… n-name is A-Alexis Rhodes," Alexis managed to say and they both hang up.

"I never knew Jaden knew the king of games himself," Alexis said to herself but she forgot that Yubel was standing behind her.

"You'll hear something else that will surprise you even more tomorrow," Yubel said with a chuckle.

"What are we going to do with Jaden?" Alexis asked.

"I can bring him to your room so that if anything happens to him that you can help him?" Yubel asked.

Alexis blushed and Yubel saw it and began to laugh. "What's wrong?" Alexis asked still blushing.

"Nothing," Yubel said still laughing.

Alexis ignored her. "How are you going to bring him to my room without being seen?" Alexis asked.

"You'll see," Yubel said and picked Jaden up and grabbed Alexis as well.

Alexis was scared. Everything began to change and after a few seconds Alexis couldn't see anything. When her vision cleared again she saw she was in her own room. "How did you do that?" Alexis asked confused.

"It's a little trick I can do. But now I have to ask you something. Why aren't you shocked to see a duel monster?" Yubel asked.

"I can see them as well," Alexis said with a smile.

"I see. Now I have to go," Yubel said.

"Why?" Alexis asked.

"Jaden can give me a physical body but it will drain some energy from him but I think he'll need all the energy he has so he can recover faster," Yubel said.

"I see," Alexis said and Yubel disappeared. Now that Alexis found Jaden she was happier but she still thought it was her fault that he was shot but at least he wasn't dead. Alexis placed Jaden on her bed and she walked to her desk to study.

After one hour she heard someone knock on her door. "Alexis, are you in here," Someone asked and Alexis recognized the voice as Jasmine.

"Yes I'm but I'm studying right now," Alexis said but she was already finished with her homework. She didn't want anyone to enter her room or they would see Jaden and then she would be in a lot of trouble.

"How long are you studying. Class ended two hours ago," Jasmine said.

"I started a few minutes ago," Alexis said.

"If you say so," Jasmine said.

"Can you tell us what was wrong with you today," another voice said which Alexis recognized as Mindy.

"I'm just worried that something happened to Jaden," Alexis said which was for a part a lie and a part of the truth.

"Maybe he's sick or something. I think we'll know tomorrow," Mindy said.

"I hope so," Alexis said.

"We'll leave now," Jasmine said and Alexis heard them walk away. The rest of the day Alexis stayed in her room. When she wanted to go to bed she forgot that Jaden was sleeping in her bed. She thought for a while because she didn't have a bank so she couldn't sleep anywhere. 'I don't think Jaden would mind if I sleep with him,' Alexis thought with a smile.

After she settled herself in her bed which was in the same bed as Jaden was sleeping in she heard someone laugh. She turned around and saw that it was Yubel. "I thought you said that you would go so that Jaden had more strength to recover?" Alexis asked annoyed.

"I did but because you can see duel spirits I don't need to have a physical body so you can see me," Yubel explained still laughing. "I knew she liked Jaden," Yubel whispered but Alexis heard her which made her face dark red.

"I don't," Alexis said blushing. And Yubel rolled her eyes and disappeared after that.

The next day she woke up and felt something warm next to her. She turned around and saw that she was sleeping with Jaden. She blushed after she saw him sleeping next to herself. 'He looks cute when he's sleeping,' Alexis thought and blushed even more and she heard someone giggled behind her and knew it was Yubel.

Alexis picked up a shoe next to her bed and threw it to Yubel but because she was a spirit it went through her and she laughed even harder. Alexis ignored her and put on her clothes and made herself ready to go to class. For the first time she was excited for class because she knew the king of games was coming to the school and she wanted to see the faces of everyone when they'll see him but he wasn't coming for his own pleasure but because something terrible happened.

For the first time Alexis entered the classroom on the last second which surprised everyone. Unfortunately the only teacher they had today was Crowler. He was again making fun of Jaden and Alexis was this time extremely furious and everyone could see it except Crowler because he was having a hard time controlling his laugh.

"I never knew you could get so mad," Yubel said and appeared next to Alexis.

"You're lucky you don't have a body otherwise you wouldn't get out of here alive," Alexis growled which made everyone confused because they didn't understand what she was saying.

Now everyone was thinking that something happened to Jaden because they haven't seen him for two days.

When it was time for lunch a lot of people talked about Jaden. Syrus, Chumley and Bastion walked to Alexis to ask if she knew what happened to Jaden but she told that she didn't know. After they left Alexis she saw Zane walking to her. He took a seat next to her.

"What's wrong with you, ever since Jaden 'disappeared' you have been acting different," Zane said.

"Maybe because he's my best friend," Alexis said.

"I know he's your best friend but after Atticus disappeared you changed as well but not so much as now," Zane said and saw that Alexis had some tears when he mentioned the name of Atticus but as soon as they came they disappeared.

"Can you promise me something?" Alexis asked and Zane nodded. "I know what happened with Jaden but can you promise me not to tell anyone?" Alexis asked which made Zane shocked.

"You know what Happened with Jaden?" Zane asked surprised and Alexis nodded. "I promise you I won't tell anyone. Now let's go outside so no one can hear us," Zane said and they stood up and walked outside the room they were in. "You can tell me know, I'm sure no one is here," Zane said.

Alexis sighed. "Two days ago Jaden and I were walking around and looking for a place where we could stay. After twenty minutes we saw a man standing a few feet away from us. Jaden told me to get back to the dorm. First I didn't want to go but I did in the end," Alexis said.

"So you were on a date?" Zane asked and Alexis blushed. "I think that's a 'yes'" Zane said with a smile.

"The next day he wasn't in class so after class ended I walked to the place where I left him and saw someone and he explained me what happened. He told me that after I left two other men appeared and grabbed Jaden. Jaden struggled to get free and after a while he got free and ran away but he looked back to see what they were doing and saw that one man…" Alexis said and had tears in her eyes.

"Just take your time," Zane said when he saw her tears. He then knew something bad happened to Jaden.

After a while Alexis found her strength to talk again. "He saw that the man had a gun pointed to Jaden and he shot Jaden," Alexis said and saw that Zane was surprised as well.

"You mean that he was shot?" Zane asked to make sure he heard it right.

"Yes, he was shot but that isn't everything," Alexis added and made Zane shocked even more.

"What did happen as well?" Zane asked curious.

"I don't know, it told me that Jaden would tell me," Alexis said.

"What do you mean by it?" Zane asked.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Alexis said.

"I won't laugh," Zane said which made Alexis laugh.

"You never laugh," Alexis said which made Zane chuckle.

"That's true," Zane said with a small smile.

"Some people say that they can see duel spirits," Alexis said.

"Yes I know and you can see them as well?" Zane asked.

"Yes but the spirit said that Jaden could give his spirits a physical body and de did that to that duel spirit," Alexis said.

"What was the spirit you talked to?" Zane asked curious.

"Yubel," Alexis said.

"So that's the reason why you weren't paying attention to class yesterday and why you were so mad today?" Zane asked. And Alexis nodded.

"If you want to know where he is I will tell you but you can't tell anyone else," Alexis said serious and Zane nodded. "He's in my room," Alexis said.

"Let's get back to class so we won't be late," Zane said and they walked back to the classroom.

When they walked in the class they saw they were the last to arrive. Zane took Jaden's seat. Everyone thought they were a couple because they walked in the class together and Zane sat next to Alexis.

Crowler was making fun of Jaden again and Zane and Alexis were pissed off.

"Maybe our slacker is scared and run back to his home and is crying is his mama's arms," Crowler taunted. "Oh wait his parents were killed," Crowler said and bursted into a laugher. Chazz and a few other students laughed as well.

This made Zane furious for the first time in his life. "You can laugh all you want but you don't know what happened to him. He may be hurt or worst and you're making fun of him because he beat you in a stupid and you can't accept it so you make fun of him so you can feel better," Zane said angry. Everyone was scared because they have never seen Zane mad. Everyone who was laughing stopped laughing.

"You're talking about it like you know what happened to him," Crowler said after he recovered after the shock.

"I don't know what happened to him and you don't know either so stop making fun of him," Zane said. After Zane said that Crowler continued his lesson and didn't say anything else about Jaden.

After one hour they heard the doors to the class open. First everyone thought it was Jaden but they were even more shocked. They saw that the king of games, Kaiba and Pegasus were standing in the door opening. No one could believe their eyes. Alexis was giggling when she saw everyone faces. Zane heard her and turned to her. "Did you know they were coming?" Zane asked.

"I thought that Yugi was the only one to come," Alexis whispered to Zane but Yugi was the only one who heard her.

"So you must be Alexis?" Yugi asked while looking to Alexis. Alexis was stunned because he heard her, she just nodded because she couldn't say anything.

"Can I ask why you're here?" Crowler asked.

"You don't need to know," Kaiba snapped at him.

"Who is Syrus?" Yugi asked ignoring Kaiba. Syrus raised his hand. Yugi walked to Syrus and saw that he was nervous.

"You don't need to be nervous. I have something for me, Jaden told me you wanted to have this," Yugi said and gave Syrus a card.

When Syrus saw the card Yugi gave him he blushed, the card Yugi gave him was the Dark Magician Girl. "How did Jaden know I wanted to have this card?" Syrus asked.

"He heard you talk about her in your sleep," Yugi whispered in Syrus's ears which made him blush even harder.

"We have to go now, you don't mind if we take Alexis with us do you?" Yugi asked.

"Where are you going to take her?" Crowler asked.

"It's a secret," Yugi said.

"And one more thing, I think Jaden won't be coming to class for at least one week," Kaiba said.

"Do you know what happened to Jaden?" Syrus asked politely.

"I told him what happened to Jaden," Yugi said.

"How can you know what happened to him if you weren't here?" Syrus asked.

"Why do you think we needed Alexis?" Yugi asked. It took them a while to understand what he meant.

"So Alexis told you but two things. How can Alexis call you if no one can have a phone with them and the second thing how does Alexis know you?" Crowler asked.

"Jaden did have a phone with him and Jaden knows me for a few years now," Yugi said.

"So you mean that Jaden always had a phone with him?" Crowler asked curious.

"Yes, but I told Sheppard that he could have a phone," Kaiba said.

"So you know Jaden as well?" Syrus asked and Seto looked angry at Syrus and Syrus looked scared.

"We all know Jaden from a few years ago," Seto said.

"How do you know him?" Alexis asked.

"It happened a few weeks after that incident in his house with the Princeton family and Jaden will tell you the rest if he can trust you enough to tell it," Yugi said.

"Alexis can you bring us to Jaden," Yugi asked and everyone was shocked to hear that Alexis knew where Jaden was.

"Sure," Alexis said and walked to the exit and walked behind Yugi, Kaiba and Pegasus.

Yugi and Pegasus were talking with each other about Alexis. She wasn't really paying attention to them but they heard them say that Jaden did choose a good girlfriend. Alexis blushed at this but luckily she was walking behind them so they didn't see it. Alexis told them that he was in her room and saw Yugi and Pegasus laugh and she knew perfectly why they were laughing and her face turned dark red again.

When they walked in the room and they saw Jaden they already knew what happened but didn't tell Alexis. "You can go back to your class and tell that Jaden won't be coming to class for at least one week," Kaiba said. She walked out her room but listened to them for a little longer so she could know what happened to him.

"I hope he isn't in coma again," Yugi said.

"The last time he was it took him six months to wake up and I don't want to repeat that," Kaiba said.

"Poor boy, first his parents were killed and he after that he is in a coma and now he is maybe in a coma again," Pegasus said.

After Alexis heard that she walked back to the class but she wasn't feeling very well. When she entered her class everyone saw that something was wrong with her but she didn't say anything. Zane was the only one who knew what was bothering her.

After class finished she waited for everyone to leave but Zane didn't leave as well and he looked curious to her. After Zane and Alexis were alone he decided to ask what happened to Jaden, "What happened," Zane asked curious.

"After I walked out of my room I heard them say that Jaden is possibly in a coma," Alexis said. Alexis than forgot that she didn't tell Crowler that Jaden wouldn't get back to class for at least one week.

"What's wrong," Zane asked after she saw Alexis's her face.

"I forgot to tell that Jaden won't be coming to class for at least one week," Alexis said.

"Let's go outside," Zane said and walked to the exit without letting Alexis answer him. Alexis sighed and followed him. When they were outside everyone asked Alexis what happened to Jaden but she didn't tell anyone, not even Syrus and Chumley. After one hour spending time with Zane she walked back to her room to see if anything had changed.

She knocked on the door because she knew that everyone was still inside her room. She heard that she could walk in her room. When she walked in the room she saw that it looked like a hospital room. She looked around her room to find Jaden. She saw that he was still laying on her bed. Alexis saw that Jaden wasn't wearing her T-shirt. They probably did it so they could see if Jaden was still breathing and luckily he was. She looked at his body and had a well-built body. She continued to stare at him and Yugi noticed it and laughed again.

"Maybe you shouldn't make it so obvious that you're looked to him," Yugi said snickering and Alexis face turned dark red which caused Alexis to look away from Jaden and the others.

Alexis forgot that Jaden was shot in his shoulder and that she hasn't seen his wound from it. She looked back at Jaden and looked to his left shoulder and saw that he had a pretty deep hole in it. She immediately turned away from him.

"Don't worry, nothing vital was hit so he'll be alright but it will take a few weeks before he can do anything with his shoulder again," Kaiba said. Alexis was very happy to hear that he would be alright but she still felt guilty.

Yugi saw that she felt guilty for him. "It isn't your fault he was shot," Yugi said.

"But if I stayed with him he wouldn't have been shot," Alexis said sad.

"After Jaden wakes up you can tell him that you're sorry," Yugi said.

"If you want you can stay in your own room, someone has to be with Jaden so that if anything happens to him that he then call someone for help," Kaiba said.

"I will stay here, beside I don't have another place to go so I have to stay here actually," Alexis said with a small smile because she could stay with Jaden.

"And if you're in class I'll stay here with him," Yugi said.

"I have to get back to my own house but I will let one doctor stay here so you can call him," Kaiba said.

"So you're going to stay here until Jaden wakes up?" Alexis asked Yugi and he nodded. Alexis almost jumped in the air from happiness.

"If he wakes up I'll let you know," Yugi said.

"But how are you going to stay here without being seen?" Alexis asked.

"I'll go to Jaden's room," Yugi said and walked out of the room.

The next day Alexis walked out of my room to get to the class. She left my room after Yugi walked in my room. He asked me if anything happened to Jaden, she told him nothing happened and after that she left.

When Alexis walked in the class she saw that they already had begun. Alexis didn't realize that she was too late. She knew Crowler hated it when people were too late. "I'm sorry I'm too late, I overslept," Alexis lied for the first time.

"Don't apologize, I'm sure you didn't want to come too late," Crowler said.

Alexis walked to his desk and gave him the paper Kaiba wrote to tell that Jaden won't be coming to class for at least a weak. When he was done reading she saw that he had a smile on his face. she ignored him and walked back to my seat and saw that Zane was again sitting in Jaden's seat.

"Why are you so late?" Zane asked curious.

"I had to wait for Yugi to show up," Alexis whispered to Zane and saw that he looked confused.

"But I saw them leave yesterday," Zane said and little too loud.

"Yugi didn't leave, he'll leave after Jaden is recovered," Alexis whispered again.

After class finished Syrus and Chumley asked Alexis if she could bring him to Jaden. She told them that they couldn't see him and that she couldn't tell them what happened to him. After that she walked back to her own room but heard many of the students talk about Jaden. Some were asking each other if they knew what happened to Jaden and the others were asking if they know where Jaden was.

When she reached her room she looked around to see if anyone was around and no one was. She opened her room and saw Yugi talking with Yubel which surprised her. "I can see her as well," Yugi said and Alexis nodded. After that Yubel left and so did Yugi. But right before he walked out Alexis's room he turned around and gave Alexis a phone. "If Jaden awakes call me," Yugi said and walked out of the room.

Two days later

Alexis didn't know how Yugi did it but no one knew he was on the island except Zane but he didn't tell anyone. No one knew where Jaden was except Zane (again). But everyone had a feeling that he was in Alexis's room but they couldn't confirm it. Jasmine and Mindy asked Alexis if Jaden was in her room but she said that he wasn't and that she couldn't tell them where he is.

Everyone now thought that something really bad happened to Jaden and they were all worried about him except Crowler and Chazz. He was still making fun of him. Alexis really wanted to hurt him but she didn't do it otherwise she would be in a lot of trouble. Unfortunately Jaden still hasn't woken up. Alexis still felt guilty for leaving him alone but didn't show anyone.

Nobody still knows about how Jaden got hurt and she wasn't planning to tell anyone. The first reason was because she doesn't want anyone to find out that they had a 'date' and the second thing was that she doesn't know if Jaden wants her to tell everyone.

Today it was Saturday so they didn't have class. Alexis asked Yugi if it alright if Zane could see Jaden. At first Yugi didn't want anyone to see Jaden but after she told him that Zane already knew what happened to Jaden he told her that he could see him. Alexis send Zane a message back to Zane because he asked her if he could see Jaden but she told him to be careful and he had to make sure no one would see him.

One hour after Alexis send the message he heard someone knock on the door and walked to it and unlocked it. Zane walked in the room and was surprised that Yugi was here. He looked to Jaden and saw he had a lot of wounds. "I didn't know it was so bad," Zane said.

"Some of his wounds are already healed," Alexis said.

"How long will it take for him to wake up?" Zane asked.

"I don't know, the last time he was in come it took him more than half a year to wake up," Yugi said which made Zane shocked. After Yugi saw Zane's face he realized his mistake. "Oops," he said.

Zane looked at Alexis for an explanation. "I don't know what happened," Alexis simply said and turned to Yugi. "But maybe you can tell us," Alexis said to Yugi.

"You remember that Kaiba said that we all know him a few years?" Yugi asked and they both nodded. "We heard what happened to him and Pegasus, Seto and I visited him. After a few months the doctors thought it was better to end his life because they thought it was useless to keep him alive so Kaiba brought Jaden to his personal hospital and made sure that there was always a doctor with him and a few months later he woke up. He was scared and told us, 'don't do anything to me,' or 'don't kill me,'" Yugi said. Alexis and Zane both were wondering the same thing, 'What happened to him?'

"We didn't know what happened to him but we know it was something terrible because he was terrified and each time we tried to come closer he always started to scream. After a few weeks he trusted us a little. We asked him if he would tell us what happened but he didn't want to. One month later he told us what happened and we understood why he was scared of us. If you want to know what happened you have to wait until he knows that he can trust you enough and then he will tell you," Yugi said and Zane and Alexis nodded.

"The rest Jaden will tell you," Yugi said and finished his story. Zane and Alexis were disappointed but they knew it was something very bad what happened to him. They did hope as well that he wasn't in a coma and if he was in a coma they hoped he wouldn't be for more than a few weeks.

After that Zane and Alexis made their way outside. They both didn't say anything because they were still thinking about something what could've happened to Jaden. Everyone could see that they were thinking because they didn't respond to anyone who asked them something. They walked to the only place on the island where no one would come, the lighthouse. When they reached the lighthouse they stayed there for two or three hours. They didn't know how long they stayed there but they knew it was long because it was almost dark.

They decided to walk back to their own dorm. When they had to go separate ways they didn't say anything. Alexis was so deep in her own thought that she walked to the door of her own room. She forgot that she had closed the door. She looked around to see if anyone saw her. This was the first time she had bad luck because she saw a girl walk out her room and was walking to her. Alexis quickly walked in her room and locked it.
