CHAPTER 003: THE DARK TRUTH

"Manjoume, are you going to tell me what's going on or not?" Judai asked.

"Uh, yeah. Of course, it's just um … I have no idea where to begin in explaining things," he said. He continued to sit on the brunette's bed, twiddling his thumbs while trying to figure out where exactly should he start. "Do you believe at all that magic exists on some levels in this world?" Manjoume asked him.

"Well, I mean who doesn't wonder if that kind of stuff is real but personally, I never really thought about it, but I don't doubt the possibility of its existing. Why do you ask?"

"I asked because it involves me being able to turn into a girl. You see, there was this old woman who came to me three years ago in my home and told me that there was a curse placed upon me that can only be broken on the third year of Halloween. The only way to break the curse is with my true love's first kiss," Manjoume explained. "The problem with that is, it should already be obvious to you that I liked Asuka Tenjoin but it's even more obvious that she's in love with you and is just too embarrassed to admit it. So, overall, there is no chance of me breaking the curse because there is no one else that I'm in love with." He sighed. "For the longest, I've always believed it to be that woman being the one to place the curse on me and I still do."

Judai stared at Manjoume in disbelief as he'd begun explaining everything from the beginning. What was happening to him was caused because of a curse and not something that he could've possibly been born with. That was also something that'd been floating around in his mind as well regarding Manjoume's true gender. He tilted his head to the side. "Is there a reason as to why you have this curse on you?" he asked.

"There is. I used to have a girlfriend three years ago," Manjoume told him.

"You had a girlfriend before you started liking on Suka?" Judai asked, a little shocked.

"Believe or not you loser, I did have a life before I came here. I knew this was a mistake. You wouldn't understand what it feels like being able to turn into a girl." Manjoume stood up to leave.

Judai immediately grabbed Manjoume by the wrist and pulled him towards him to come back but he'd accidentally pulled him into his lap instead, which made him blush having him in his lap. "G-Gomen, I wasn't trying to do that," he assured him.

Manjoume's wrist was grabbed and though he attempted to snatch it away, Judai pulling on it caused him to lose his balance and fall back towards the brunette, landing in his lap. He looked back at him and although annoyed with him, he was also blushing at the same time.

Judai did the unthinkable and just wrapped his arms around Manjoume entirely and hugged him comfortingly. "Please continue, Manjoume. I'm not judging you at all. Believe it or not, I am listening, and I want to help you if I'm able."

Manjoume's blush increased at the feeling of the other's arms wrapped around him. He didn't understand what this feeling was that he was having but he could feel his heart start to pound against his chest. 'What's … what's wrong with me? I feel so light-headed and … my chest it hurts. That's not possible. I can't be falling for this idiot … am I?'

He kept silent for a good little while before continuing with the rest of his explanation. "Fine," he said. "I did have a girlfriend and I'd hurt her feelings by telling her to get lost. I shouldn't pick up on it but I didn't. I didn't until it was too late because she was always bugging me for money to go shopping and so her friends could go shopping as well. Every single day she did that. I believe, only twice we spent some real quality time together but other than that, she was just using me for my money. So yes, I told her to get lost and I think anyone would've if they were in my position," he said, slightly angry.

"Some might but not everyone would. If I were in your position, I wouldn't tell her to get lost like you did. There is a much nicer way to tell someone that things just weren't going to work out. No relationship is going to work well if there's no love in it. If I had to guess, she probably got mad at you and wished you could see what it felt like to be heartbroken?" Judai assumed or rather guessed, not letting Manjoume go.

Manjoume didn't say anything and just lowered his head in shame while displaying a depressed expression on his face. There was that possibility but not even his ex-girlfriend could pull something off that crazy. But there was that off chance it could've been true but then, just who was that old woman then? Nothing about his curse added up but he knew that he had to break it on Halloween and Judai seemed to be the only person who was concerned and cared enough to want to help him do that. Even though the brunette probably didn't fully believe in magic and curses and probably just humoring him.

"I know that this curse placed upon me was my own undoing but everything else after that, was not my fault. I didn't ask for the other things that continued to happen to me. Not only did I have to keep this secret from other people, there was no way for me to keep it from my family. My father was ashamed of me. My mother luckily wasn't ashamed of me but thought it was weird found some joy in it and kept treating me like a girl because she always wanted one. As for my brothers weren't any help either, much less of any comfort. They just made fun of me and humiliated me. In short, I was alone. I've never felt as if anyone cared about me at all except for wanting me to be this perfect child that I am not," he explained.

"That's not entirely true, Manjoume. Granted no one is perfect but you do have us here at the academy and we're not going to force you to be something or do something you don't want to. You're your own person and don't ever forget that. And for your family, I mean, your mother still cared about you, even if she treated you like a girl. She cared enough to want to help you deal with it. Doesn't that count for something?" Judai asked, trying to be as helpful as he could but didn't know if what he said would be enough or would it be of comfort to Manjoume.

"You all care? Hm. Seems you all have a funny way of showing it. I'm nothing more than a freak to you people. Why should you care about me when you don't have to?" Manjoume asked. "I can only give my mother credit for caring in her own strange way but … not even she could've protected me from that night. That … one night that my brother Shoji did the most horrible thing I never thought he would ever do. I knew … I knew that he hated me, but I never thought he'd hate me so much to do what he did…"

Manjoume stopped talking to control his emotions. Damn it, he hated so much being a girl because it'd made him even more emotional, which is something that he normally kept in check when he was a guy. But as of right now, he couldn't. He was unable to hold back the tears of the hurt and loneliness that he'd felt.

Judai released Manjoume from the hug to turn him around to face him and he carefully wiped his tears away, the expression on his face was a worried one. He couldn't imagine a lot of the things he'd gone through with his family and having to deal with other people judging him. Even more so, one of his brothers had done something to him that Manjoume was reluctant to tell him. "Manjoume, I know you're upset but that doesn't mean that you're alone. You do have people that care about you. I hope you didn't try and harm yourself because of all the suffering you've dealt with in your life," he said.

'Judai … is comforting me? But … I thought he hated me, especially after what I've put him through today. I guess I was wrong.' Manjoume shook his head from side to side, indicating that he had tried to harm himself many times. "I have tried to hurt myself. Physically with scissors and knives and there was one time I attempted to overdose on an old bottle of my father's medication, but it didn't work."

"My god, Manjoume… I'm … I'm so sorry," Judai said apologetically.

"Don't. It's not like it's your fault. I didn't start doing that after my brother Shoji …" Manjoume's voice trailed off as he choked back a few sobs.

"What? What did your brother do to you? Please, tell me, Manjoume," Judai pleaded

Manjoume opened his mouth to speak but instead just closed and sighed and just leaned forward and rested his head on Judai's shoulder.

"If it's too hard for you to tell me then, you don't have to." Judai wrapped his arms around Manjoume and gently stroked his hair.

Manjoume's cheeks turned pink, muffling his words to where the brunette couldn't hear him. He hadn't told anybody about what his brother Shoji had done to him, believing that it wouldn't bring him any closure. It's not as if his family would believe him and Shoji had threatened to kill him if he were to tell anybody. However, the raven-haired teen was tired of holding it in and needed to get it off his chest. And if there was at least someone he could trust, he knew that he could put his trust and faith in Judai. He may have been still considered a loser to him, but he cared enough to put up with him for this long. Sniffling, he lifted his head up to look at Judai, his face completely tear-stricken.

"My brother … he …" More tears began to well up in the corners of his eyes as he tried so hard to tell Judai what his brother did to him. "When I was thirteen, Shoji he … he came into my room one night and … I don't know what set him off, but I swear I didn't do anything but he still … he still took his frustrations out on me and … and raped me! He raped me for no reasons at all! I just …" Tears had begun to pour down like a river as he buried his face against Judai's shoulder.

"Oh, my … oh my god … Manjoume." Judai hugged the other boy even tried to try and comfort him. He knew that his brothers were jerks but he had no idea that one of them would go as far as to do something so … humiliating and disgusting to his own brother. He couldn't find the right words to comfort him so instead, he just continued to hold and console him. "You've told me enough. But I will promise you that I won't let it happen again." He realized what he'd said and was unable to keep the blush away from rising in his cheeks.

Manjoume managed to calm down enough to look up at Judai and smile, smoothing his hand across his cheek. "Arigatou, Judai."

Judai raised his hand up to meet his, taking it into his own. He couldn't tell if Manjoume believed him or was just humoring him, either way, he wanted him to know that from this point on if he wanted him to, he would be there for him. "You're welcome, Manjoume."

Manjoume's blush returned and he looped his arms around the brunette's neck, bringing their faces closer together and kissed him, a real kiss and not a forceful one. He didn't understand it much himself, but he wanted to do this. He didn't doubt Judai's words. He believed him, and he wanted to show him that he knew that he did.

Being as innocent as he was, Judai hadn't a clue as to what to do and just followed what Manjoume was doing to him. He smoothed his right hand across Manjoume's shoulder, all the way down his back and every inch of his skin felt exquisitely soft, naturally soft even. This was more than he could say about the thoughts that were running wild through his head.

Manjoume's hand wandered freely about Judai's chest, bringing him closer to his body, to feel the warmth of Judai's body's heat next to his own. He leaned back against the bed, pulling the brunette along with him. "J-Judai …" he said softly and breathlessly.

Judai was pulled over Manjoume, hovering above him and he brushed the strands of his hair out of his face. "Would it be weird of me to say that … you're so beautiful right now?" he asked.

Manjoume shook his head. "Iie, it doesn't. But … do you mean it? Do you really think that … I'm beautiful?" he asked.

"Hai, I do. And maybe a part of me has always cared about you a little more than just a friend and I did know that you liked Suka, but I never said anything. I do care about you, more than you think I do, Manjoume," Judai admitted, placing a gentle kiss on the other's forehead. "I also won't lie, yesterday, I did … want to kiss you back but I knew that wasn't something you really wanted so I stopped myself."

"Y-You did?" Manjoume was surprised to hear this coming from Judai, a guy that's always so cheerful, calm and collected and oblivious to everything around him so it was hard to believe that he would have those types of feelings. "What about now?"

"I still … feel that way now but after what you told me I don't … I don't want to do anything that you might feel uncomfortable with."

Manjoume pulled the brunette into a kiss, breaking it to speak. "I … Judai … make love to me. I beg of you. I … I want you so much, right now," he said, his hands practically trembling as he said those words.

Judai returned the kissed but blushed when he'd asked him to make love to him. "M-Manjoume … w-we can't. A-Are you sure? It's not that I don't want to but …" He was very hesitant considering that Manjoume had told him what his brother had done to him when he was younger. Doing this … as much as he wanted to, it was just … too soon. He could tell that he hadn't gotten over the incident and who could blame him? 'Make love to Manjoume? I have no idea what to even do and … this would be my first time but … at this point I'm more concerned for him than anything,' he thought.

"Shh." Manjoume placed his right index finger against Judai's lips. "Just … touch me …" He grabbed his hand again and placed it on his right breast. "Don't worry about me. I … I want this."

Judai's hand was once again on Manjoume's breast and though he was blushing, he couldn't help but take the initiative in gently squeezing and massaging it. "I can't help but worry about you. But for me to make love to you, Manjoume, that must mean you're in love with me. So … are you?" he asked.

"Nghn. J-Judai," Manjoume moaned as his breast was squeezed and massaged. "Just … don't stop, please," he begged.

"Not unless you love me, and you absolutely mean it," Judai said.

"I … I don't know. I just … I need you so much right now." Manjoume wanted so much to just … be close to someone, even if it was Judai. He wasn't entirely sure if he was in love with him or not, but he did feel … something for him. He didn't know if it was love or anything of the sort but what he did know is that his body wanted him.

"Then, I can't make love to you. Until you're sure, it's best to wait. Besides, you're also not over what your brother did to you and that's understandable but … I don't want to be used by you. I hope you understand," Judai said as he removed himself from over Manjoume along with taking his hand off his breast and lay beside him on the bed, placing his arms behind his head on the pillows.

Manjoume came down off the small high he was on and was able to see that Judai cared enough about him to not make love to him knowing that he possibly didn't feel the same way as well as worried that he was still holding onto to the horrors of that night with Shoji. And he was. It might have been a couple of years ago, but he wasn't entirely over it. He wasn't trying to use Judai to forget about it he just … didn't want to let what happened to him rule his life and keep him from wanting to be happy with someone. He sat up, ashamed of himself for putting the brunette on the spot like that.

"Gomen nasai," Manjoume apologized. "I understand but … I wasn't trying to use you. I … I do feel something for you and I do believe you when you say that you care about me and be there for me when you're not obligated to, but you want to and I am so grateful for that. I'm also grateful for you listening to me and not judging me. I've made many mistakes in my life and I regret them. I really do regret them and … I want … I just want to be happy again. To not be scared anymore."

Judai sat up and wrapped an arm around Manjoume. "You can be happy. And you don't have to feel anymore regret. You can move on and be happy like you want. I'll be there at your side, always. So, you don't have to be scared anymore. When you're sure about your feelings, maybe … one day, I'll make love to you, if you still want that."

Manjoume nodded, resting his head on Judai's shoulder. "Hai," he said softly. "Judai, when our next vacation comes around, do you … want to spend yours with me?" he asked.

Judai chuckled. "Of course, Manjoume. I'd love to come with you," he said.

Manjoume closed his eyes and smiled. "Judai, thank you. That means a lot to me to know that you're willing to spend your vacation with me," he said, hugging him. "I-I do like you, Judai. And I'm being honest when I say that." He blushed. 'You are the only person that's given me the type of attention that I've wanted … maybe I will eventually get there and say those three words.'

"I know. I don't want you to push yourself to feel anything for me. I suppose this is the last year that the curse has to be broken, otherwise, you're stuck switching back and forth into a girl for the rest of our life, huh?" Judai said.

"Hai, that's right. I don't know if I'll be able to break the curse this curse tomorrow and I am not going to ask you to help me out of pressure. It's my problem, not yours," said Manjoume.

"That is true but since you've told me everything, it's no longer just your problem, it's our problem. And I meant what I said, that I would be there for you if you want me to. Do you want me to, Manjoume?" he asked him.

Manjoume nodded. "Of course, I want you to be there. Can I ask something though? You don't … think that I'm a freak?"

"Nani? Of course not, Manjoume. Just because you have this curse on you doesn't make you a freak. I never thought, nor have I said anything of the sort. Just because you're different on the outside doesn't mean the same on the inside. You will always be you and that's the Manjoume I've come to care about."

Manjoume wrapped his arms around Judai's neck and hugged him. "No one has ever said such words to me before and actually meant them. Arigatou gozaimasu, Judai."

'For the first time in my life, I feel so truly happy. I am unsure if Judai loves me, but I accept that he cares about me and I'm just glad to have that. I just want him to hold me forever.' He closed his eyes and began to slowly drift off t sleep

Judai saw this and smiled, kissing Manjoume on his forehead again before taking him entirely into his arms and leaning them back against the bed comfortably, he too falling asleep not long after he had.

The sun was starting to set over the academy, but it was still bright enough outside for Sho to be able to see while running quickly to the dorm he, Judai and Hayato shared while calling out for Judai. "Annniiikkkiiii!" he screamed, but he was so loud, you'd swear he was in some sort of pain. He flung the door open, panting tiredly to tell him something important but became distracted and forgotten what he was going to tell him when he saw Judai snuggled up in his bed with 'Mizuki'. "Aniki, wake up! Aniki!" Sho yelled.

Judai jumped out of his sleep and ended up hitting his head on the bottom of Sho's bed. "Ow! Damn it!" he swore, rubbing the top of his head with both hands.

"Uh, whoa, what's going on here, Aniki? Why's Mizuki-san in our room?" asked Sho.

"Wha?" Judai mumbled groggily, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, then looked down at Manjoume who was still asleep and apparently unaffected by Sho's screaming. "Oh! Mizuki! Uh, we, just had a nice friendly conversation earlier is all and then we fell asleep. We didn't do anything, I swear!" he assured him, his face turning red.

Sho was thinking that something had but considering that their clothes were still on, it was unlikely but that wasn't something he wasn't going to rule out. "Oh yeah, I came in here to tell you something and now I've forgotten what it was," he said, laughing sheepishly.

Manjoume had finally woken up, yawning tiredly while stretching his arms. "Judai, what's going on?" he asked but he'd stretched way too much and accidentally knocked Judai out of the bed and onto the floor.

"GAH!" Judai had been knocked out of the bed and fell on the floor face first.

"Judai?! Gomen nasai! Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

"H-Hai, I'm fine," Judai replied, sitting up on the floor. "Sho actually just came in here to tell me something but he kind of got distracted."

Manjoume raised a brow. "What do you mean he got distracted?" asked Manjoume.

"He was caught off guard when he saw us … in bed together," he said, blushing.

"O-Oh, I see." Manjoume blushed as well as shivered when the cool breeze from outside was blowing and it'd made its way into the room, making it cold. He brought the covers back over himself to warm up. "We didn't do anything."

"Don't worry, Aniki already told me. And I wasn't assuming anything other than what I saw," Sho said, though he was lying since his mind had gone into the gutter briefly. "Oh yeah, now about what I was going to tell you …"

"What's she doing in our bed, Judai-sama?" asked a girl that was standing in the doorway with her arms folded across her chest, cutting Sho off in mid-sentence.

"That," Sho said, pointing at the girl behind him.

The very girl that Sho was pointing at had long blue-purple hair and brown eyes as well as wearing her very own customized Osiris Red uniform jacket like Manjoume's but she wore a pale orange shirt with black shorts and brown boots.

"R-Rei?!" Judai said in shock as he quickly hopped up to his feet.

Rei simply giggled while blushing happily. "Hello, Judai-sama! I told you I'd return, didn't I?" she said, smiling.

Manjoume raised his brow at Rei. "Judai-sama? You know this shrimp?" he asked.

Rei scoffed and placed her hands on her hips. "Shrimp?! I'll have you know that I am twelve and a half years old, thank you very much."

"So, you're a pre-pre-teen. That makes sense. No wonder you're so short," replied Manjoume sarcastically as he got up out of bed and stood beside Judai.

"I am not short!" yelled Rei angrily as she walked over and moved Manjoume away from Judai, then grabbed a hold of the brunette's right arm and hugged it. "Now, I would appreciate it if you would stay away from my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend? You're way too young to be thinking about having a boyfriend, small fry. Girls your age are mostly in the stage of trying to look pretty or playing with dolls or something," Manjoume joked.

"Tch. I am pretty. Way prettier than you'll ever be. And as for dolls, they're stupid and so are you," Rei threw back at him.

Manjoume didn't say another word and just pulled Rei by the collar of her uniform jacket and away from Judai. "Now understand this, Rei. I am Judai's girlfriend and unlike you, I'm not twelve and a half years old. I'm fifteen years old and old enough to have a boyfriend and old enough to date I might add. No one is going to date you without feeling as if they're robbing the cradle. No one is going to get arrested by touching you. Besides, Judai-kun loves me better, don't you, honeybunch?" he asked, hugging him.

"Uh…" Judai was so clueless on what to say to defuse the situation. So long as the two of them didn't start physically fighting one another he was fine.

"How dare you?! I am the only girl for him! Not you! You're not woman enough to be Judai-sama's girl!" Rei shouted angrily.

"Right. And what does that make you exactly? You haven't hit puberty yet and you're already talking about boys. You need to find something else useful to do with your time, small fry," said Manjoume, smirking.

Rei looked as if they wanted to blow steam out of her ears and turned around to face Judai who while putting on the cutest of faces. "Judai-sama, would you tell this girl that you and I are an item?" she asked innocently.

"Why would I say something that's not even true? Besides, Mizuki is my girlfriend," replied Judai.

"So now you're admitting to having a girlfriend huh, Aniki? I'm so jealous?" Sho joked with his arms crossed.

"Gomen, for not telling you sooner but Mizuki and I were just hiding our feelings for one another. We weren't ready for everyone to know yet," Judai said, reaching his arms out for Manjoume to come to him.

Manjoume blushed and walked towards Judai, wrapping his arms around him.

As for Rei, she just scoffed in complete disgust. "But Judai-sama, I've known you longer than you've known her," she whined.

"Maybe so but you had to leave. You did sneak onto the academy only to tell Kaiser your true feelings, didn't you not?" Judai asked.

"Yeah but, after our duel, I fell completely head over heels in love with you. And I accepted that Ryo-sama wouldn't love me, but I figured that there was a chance that you possibly could. Plus, you were just so nice to me, it was kind of hard not to fall for you," Rei explained a bit.

"Well, you're not going to have to accept the fact that I don't love you. Gomen nasai that I am unable to return your feelings but if it's okay, we can still be friends. I'm always game for that if you are."

Rei growled in annoyance as she looked over at Manjoume angrily. "I don't know. I'm going to have to think about it for a little while longer," she said and left the room a bit upset that she came back only to find out that the one guy that she thought she could have, had somehow been snatch up without her knowing about it.

"Well, that was … interesting," said Sho slowly.

"Yeah, that kind of was," Judai said, scratching the back of his head. "I wasn't expecting Rei to come back so soon. I guess she's here for the rest of this semester and for the next three years."

"It sure looks that way. She's going to be staying in our dorm instead of being transferred into Obelisk Blue with the other girls. Funny how things work out like that huh?" Sho said. "Anyway, they're about to serve dinner. Meet you in the cafeteria!" he said, running off to head downstairs.

"Yeah, hilarious," replied Judai dryly while rolling his eyes.

"Judai-kun, you wouldn't … just on me with Rei, would you?" asked Manjoume.

"Eh?" Judai looked at Manjoume. "Iie, of course not. Besides, the only girl I have eyes for is you." He smiled.

"Just how long are you going to wait for me?" Manjoume asked.

"However long it takes," he said. "Now, it's time for dinner, you want to sit with me and the others? I'd really like it if you did, Manjoume."

Manjoume blushed. "H-Hai, if it's okay with you, I'd love to," he said. "Though I'm going to take a guess that when I left Duel Academia for a while, she was here?"

"Yes, but she didn't stay long. She left two days later once her identity was found out … and that she was too young at the time to be enrolled as a student. But I am surprised that the Chancellor let you come back as an Obelisk Blue student," said Judai.

Manjoume turned his head away from Judai in sadness.

"What's wrong, Manjoume? Did I say something to upset you?" he asked worriedly.

Manjoume turned his head back to face Judai. "Iie, Chancellor let me come back as a blue student because my father forced him to keep me as one because he refused to have anything to do with a son that had to start from the bottom by being an Osiris Re student. Chancellor felt bad for me, so he allowed me to go back to the blue dorm," he explained sadly.

Judai turned Manjoume around completely to face him and gave him a kiss on the lips. "Gomen ne, Manjoume. Now, let's go eat. Maybe some food will take your mind off your problems for a little while at least," he suggested.

"I'm not really all that hungry," Manjoume lied, especially when his stomach had begun growling.

Judai had heard it and smiled. "Looks like your stomach disagrees. Sounds like you skipped breakfast and lunch." He took the raven-haired teen by the hand, lacing their fingers together. "By the way, I meant to ask where you got that outfit that you have on now from? This skirt and halter-top, how long have you had that?"

"It was for my ex-girlfriend, but I never got around to giving it to her. Surprised I can fit it, but it is a bit snug in certain areas," said Manjoume, pulling the skirt down and trying his best to adjust the top properly so he wouldn't be giving any of the other guys a free show.

"Ohh. Oh." Judai's eyes lingered from Manjoume's face to his breasts while he was in the middle of trying to adjust the top he was wearing.

Manjoume saw this and became very annoyed. "God, they're breasts, dropout boy. I'm pretty sure you've seen plenty of them before. Mine shouldn't be all THAT fascinating."

"Uh, right. Yeah. L-Lets go get something to eat," said Judai, stammering a big as he led Manjoume out of his dorm room and to the cafeteria downstairs.

FP: You know, I think you're doing a good job of capturing the characters' real personality instead of that crap the dub came up with.

DR. KAREN: That was the point.

FP: You know, I never got around to working on that 'YUGIOH! GX Behind the Scenes' fanfiction I wanted to do.

DR. KAREN: You had a disturbing idea for all the characters that I've … pretty much forgotten since it's been years when the original version of this story was done.

FP: Want me to remind you? XP

DR. KAREN: No! I want my sanity!

FP: Aw, you're no fun. Chapter four's coming soon! Wait with anticipation people!

DR. KAREN: Give me about another weekend or two and I should be done rewriting the other three chapters. Chapter six is going to take me forever because of that damn long ass duel.

FP: Hehe, long.

DR. KAREN: In the corner! (points at the corner for FP to go to)

FP: Aw! (goes to the corner)

DR. KAREN: Ja ne!
