I decided to change the title of this, since I might make sequels after this one. I still need a high audience, but if that does happen, at least I'll be prepared. This will be when you'll start seeing more of the major differences between the original canon and this one. It will be totally different. Review please!

Jaylin was sitting inside the city bus, her luggage on the shelf over her. She was waiting for the bus to arrive at the airport where she was to fly to Duel Academy. She was excited to finally enter the school. This would be the first time she would be on her own without her father. This kinda made Jaylin sad, being that she was so close with her father.

Jaylin was the daughter of a Duel Monsters Champion, but she felt she was really the daughter of a strong and noble hero. The truth was, Jaylin was adopted. Her real parents neglected her all of her childhood life. She lived at the orphanage, her parents never giving up custody of her. Nobody ever came in those many years to adopt a child, except foreigners online. Many of the orphans were adopted by them, but custody was already given up by the parents.

One day, someone came to the orphanage, a duel monsters champion, who was 20 years old and in college during the time. Jaylin ran to him right away, wanting him to be Jaylin's new father. He would arrive everyday and play games with her. Jaylin instantly knew that she wanted him as her father. The problem was she was still in custody of her parents.

Jaylin had asked her father years later how it all went down, being that she was too young to know what was going on. Her father had to fight in court to gain custody from Jaylin's real parents, who refused to give it up. It was a very close case, but the verdict was finally decided when Jaylin was kidnapped from the orphanage, and then sent to the hospital after being found by her soon-to-be-adopted father with a bit mark and bruises. Jaylin had been chased by their dog, eventually leading outside, being bitten by the dog, and kicked out of the house; soon to be saved by her soon-to-be-adopted father. Jaylin's real parents were reported for child abuse, then lost custody of Jaylin.

Though, the story never ended there. Jaylin was often babysat by some of her father's friends. She would see her father come home, always excited to see her, but she noticed a few bruises on him. It would only be years later when she would discover that her father was often harassed, because everyone assumed he kidnapped Jaylin from her real parents instead of adopting her. Adoption was often looked down upon in this country, never as exciting and thrilling as in America. Often, families always followed the blood being thicker than water, so if anyone ever adopted, that person would be suspected of doing something evil and Jaylin's new adopted father was no exception.

Still, Jaylin was glad her father adopted her. She was one of the few orphans that had someone to fight for her. By the first day they met, it was love at first sight. He was Jaylin's Daddy and always called him "Daddy" whether they shared blood or not. It was still human blood and that was thicker than water.

The bus stopped and Jaylin looked out the window to see it was Haneda Domestic Airport, the only airport near her district taking Duel Academy students. This was the place! It was huge with glass windows around the top of the main entrance with the title in English letters and Japanese characters. The roof seemed to be making a ramp-like curve, the top of the curve being where the entrance was.

Jaylin got off the bus with her brown suitcase and black duffel bag with white designs. She walked through the entrance with her light green blouse that showed ruffles on the bottom with puffed short sleeves. She also wore dark jeans with a black leather belt that was worn diagonal. Her black high heel shoes clicked along the tiled floor of the airport as she arrived at the lobby where the ticket counters were lined up at the very back.

Jaylin sighed, checking her printed plane ticket her father bought for her. Her plane was to takeoff in about 46 minutes. She had to check in her bags, retrieve her boarding pass, then arrive at her boarding area. She took her luggage, then walked to the Japanese Airlines counter to get her boarding pass and check in her luggage.

The young girl walked through the crowded area with only her boarding pass and small brown purse. She waited in line to be checked by security, then walked through block A to look for her boarding area A12. She finally did arrive there, along with other young students, some old and some young. She smiled and seated herself in one of the chairs to wait for the plane to arrive. She began wondering if she could duel someone until the plane arrived in about 30 minutes.

Jaylin noticed someone sitting next to her with short black hair that reached her shoulders in low, short pigtails with a blue headband, a white buttoned up blouse that was plain and simple, a long blue skirt that reached her ankles, some decorated black and blue flat shoes, clean nails, green eyes, and red lips. Jaylin began wondering what kind of duelist this girl was.

"Hi," Jaylin greeted as the black-haired girl looked to her direction with a simple smile and a nod. "My name is Jaylin Yuki. I guess we're going to be students together."

"Ronda Layo, and, being that this is a flight for only Slifer Red students, I suppose we are," Ronda replied.

"Well, since we're waiting, you wanna duel until our plane arrives. I hate waiting this long."

Ronda laughed, then replied, "sure. Why not?"

The two girls sat on the floor with their legs crossed, getting out their deck, which the girls kept in their purses. They played the table top version of Duel Monsters, since they didn't have any duel disks. From what Jaylin could tell, Ronda used a Fable deck, relying on discarding cards to the graveyard and special summoning them. She seemed very skilled with using this kind of deck, making Jaylin excited to play several more rounds with Ronda until the announcement came for the students to go on aboard the plane.

"Sorry, I guess we can duel again when we get to school I guess," Ronda shrugged.

"Sure. You're really good! I hope we can hang out when we get to the island," Jaylin called out.

"You too!"

Jaylin quickly ran excitedly to the back of the line to give out her boarding pass and board the plane. She stepped inside the airplane, then walked down the narrow walkway to her seat. She sat in seat 22B, which was next to a small blue-haired boy with glasses, who was sitting by the window on 22A. Jaylin smiled and waved to the boy she sat by.

"Hiya. My name's Jaylin Yuki, what's yours?" Jaylin introduced.

"Syrus Truesdale," Syrus replied. He wore a blue suit and red tie, seemingly to look formal on his first day.

"Truesdale? Hey, that's the same last name as the famous champ Zane Truesdale!"

"Yeah... that's my older brother."

"Get out! That's so awesome! You gotta introduce me to him. I'd kill to deck him out one on one," Jaylin spoke hyperactivity. She then rubbed her chin. "I wonder if he'd recognize me. We almost would've gone against each other during the Junior's Grand Pix a few years ago, but I tripped and my nose started bleeding."

"That was you!?" Syrus asked with his eyes popping out of his eye sockets.

"Yep. Were you there?"

"Yeah, but... you were... different..." Syrus said, his eyes lowering slightly. "WAY different."

Jaylin grasped quickly what Syrus meant. During the Junior Grand Pix, Jaylin was only 11 years old. She was an innocent little young duelist with two french braids in a pair of jeans and pink shirt. Now, she was older with two huge knockers where only a 38D sized bra could hold them together. Jaylin couldn't help, but laugh at Syrus' shocking display.

"Is it really that shocking?" Jaylin teased as Syrus blushed cherry red and she burst out laughing.

"I-I'm sorry, it's just-"

"Oh, it's fine. Don't get yourself tied in a bunch. Relax, enjoy life, and god damnit, why does he have to call when the plane's taking off!?" Jaylin cursed getting out her phone, which was on vibrate, then answering it. "Hi Daddy!"

"Hey Princess, just wanted to say goodbye before you took off. Glad to see you're not running late or leaving your bike unparked this time," Jaylin's dad replied.

"I did promise I wouldn't oversleep again, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did. Honey, I want you to keep your grades in check. Do your best and have fun. Remember that."

"I will. Anyways, the plane's about to take off. See ya!"

"Bye!"

Jaylin hung up, then sighed before laughing. She said, "Glad I put my phone on vibrate."

"Hey, Jaylin, that's your father, right?" Syrus asked shyly, probably knowing who he was and the fact he adopted Jaylin.

"Yeah, why?"

"Just... wondering."

The airplane took off after that conversation and Jaylin was anxious to make it to Duel Academy. She could hardly wait to make it to the island. Though, the trip seemed like forever, so she had slept throughout the whole trip until the airplane landed on the island. Jaylin and the rest of the students got off the airplane and collected their luggage. They all walked to the auditorium to retrieve their registration forms and uniforms, and then find their dorm rooms.

Jaylin read her registration form and began carrying her suitcase and duffel bag on her way to her dorm room, which seemed like a long trip up the hill. At least it was a nice view, though a part of her wished it was close like the Obelisk Blue dorm. Still, the Slifer Red dorm still looked nice from her viewpoint. Maybe this would be a good place to stay in for the four years of high school.

The boys and girls dorms were separated. One half on the left were for the boys and the other half on the right were for the girls. The bathrooms and showers were on the first level, the boys bathroom being at the front and the girls being at the back. There were minor differences between the three dorms, but each of them were no different from the other. The restrooms were separated from the dorms, each had their own cafeteria with the option of eating outside, each dorm room could fit up to three students, and curfew was at 9:00.

Dueling could be generally played anywhere as long as it wasn't during school, but the major dueling arena for competitions was located in the auditorium. The school provided a schedule for each student, which would be given to them with their registration form. The schedule varied per student and included the important subjects needed to graduate and extra circular activities like basketball, tennis, soccer, art class, writing class, etc.

More importantly, there were the competitions held every year. The students would compete against one another until there was one student that would represent their school and go against other students that represented other high school academies. The competitions were held during the second quarter of the year. There were other competitions with other circular activities, but Duel Monsters happen to be Duel Academy's biggest event.

Jaylin entered into her dorm where she was to sleep at. She threw her uniform on the bed, then looked around. It seemed empty, meaning her roommate probably hadn't arrived yet, if she had one. Jaylin decided, until her roommate arrived, to try on her new uniform. She undressed herself and put on her school uniform. She was required to wear a black shirt, which was a good thing she had three pairs of them. She wore a red vest with a white collar over her black t-shirt, which was the Slifer Red uniform. With this, she was required to wear black pants, khaki pants or the uniform black skirt, which she had both khaki pants and black jeans. She decided to wear black jeans to try on the uniform. Her red school shoes were in her shoe locker, so she couldn't try them on. Her white tennis shoes were better than nothing.

"Wow, not too shabby," Jaylin said to herself, looking at herself in the mirror above the dresser, which were acquired by the school. She heard the door open and turned. It was her roommate.

"Oh, hi!" The roommate greeted. She had short dirty blond hair pixie style and blue eyes. She was wearing the uniform outfit, only with the black skirt and a pair of red boots. Slifer Red students were required to wear red, white or black footwear for outside of school. Jaylin could only guess her roommate was probably a Junior or Senior, being that those that were already registered students were required to arrive on the first day of school with their uniform.

"So, you must be my new roommate?"

"Yep. You know, you don't have to wear that on your first day, if you're new or a Freshman."

"I know, but I wanted to see how this looked on me. I must say, I look exquisite," Jaylin replied perkily, both fists touching her chin with the biggest grin on her face.

"Well, being this is your first day. You probably know restroom's downstairs, including showers and everything. They also have a store by the school, if you ever want to buy some shampoo, towels, tampons, or whatever you need. If you need anything, you can ask me. I've been at this school for two years."

"Two years!? Wow, that's sure a long time and you're on Slifer Red."

"Yep. Another thing you need to know is that you can level up. If you get high enough grades to make it to the honor role, they can advance you to Obelisk Blue next year. The same goes for advancing you to Ra Yellow, if you have A's and B's."

"SERIOUSLY!?"

"Yep. Though, it's hard. I've been trying to get my grades up, but I've never been good enough to make it out of this dump."

"I don't think this is a dump. It seems nice. By the way, what's your name?"

"Carl Hyns," Carl replied with her simple smile.

"Jaylin Yuki, please to meet you," Jaylin introduced, shaking Carl's hand. "What kind of deck do you have?"

"Darklord."

"Shoot! That's an awesome deck type. Mine is Elemental HERO!"

"Nice!"

"Say, how 'bout we check out the other duelists outside?" Jaylin suggested, pointing her thumb to the door.

"But don't you need to unpack?"

"We can do that later," Jaylin replied, grabbing Carl by the wrist. "Co'mon Carl!" She dragged Carl out of the dorm, downstairs, then toward the school courtyard where a handful of students were already dueling each other. This would also be the lunch area, if the students wished to eat outside. While the students weren't allowed to go into other dorms without invitation or passed curfew, they were all allowed to freely go to the courtyard. "Sweetness!"

"New students tend to start dueling after arriving," Carl commented, her right shoulder shrugging while crossing her arms.

"Hey Jaylin, remember me?" Alexis greeted, being shown with, this time, a pink skirt, a striped red and white shirt, and white tennis shoes.

"Alexis! I remember you! What dorm are you staying in?" Jaylin asked excitedly.

"Obelisk Blue, of course."

"Ah, honor student. Sweet!"

"Hey ladies, I hope you don't mind, but would one of you like to duel the Chazzster?" A young boy with black hair, almost black eyes, a purple shirt under a long black trench coat, and black jeans. A cocky smirk appeared on his lips.

"Hi Chazz," Alexis greeted boredly. She turned to Jaylin. "This is Chazz Princeton. I only know him, because we went to school together before coming here."

"Ah. Hey question, why the hell are you wearing a trench coat? It's like 30 degrees out here," Jaylin questioned.

"Why are you wearing your school uniform?" Chazz asked with a teasy smirk.

"Point taken. Though, Yugi wears his school uniform during his competitions."

"He does?"

Alexis chuckled, then says, "eh, he still looks hot."

"I agree," Carl smirked pervertedly, which made Jaylin's cheeks turn slightly pink.

"So Jaylin, just how strong of a duelist are you? You're Slifer Red," Alexis asked curiously.

"Well, I beat the school's department and chairman of techniques in a duel," Jaylin bragged.

"You mean Dr. Crowler? The one with Ancient Gear Golem?" Carl asked awestruck. "Hon, even I couldn't beat that thing when I first came!"

"No way! My brothers have been to this school, there's no way anyone could beat Crowler, unless they're the few Juniors or Seniors!" Chazz spoke scoffly, then looked at Jaylin and began growing nervous and sweating in a full second. "Not that I don't believe you... or anything. I mean... it's just shocking is all."

"Yeah right! Do me a favor and stop looking at her boobs," Alexis smirked, knowing how Chazz was like toward hot looking girls, especially ones with huge knockers. Chazz's face turned red in embarrassment and anger as Alexis turned to Jaylin. "How about we find out if your story is true?"

"Alright! Sure! Get your game on, Alexis!" Jaylin smirked, then stared at her arm and blushed. "Just as soon as I get my duel disk from my duffel bag." She ran off to her dorm.

"I told ya you should've unpacked first!" Carl cried out teasingly.

A/N: Alright, maybe this is my fault for this, but there have been people asking me where Jaden Yuki is and all of that. (clears throat) Jaylin Yuki IS Jaden Yuki. Basically, Jaylin Yuki is the female counterpart of Jaden Yuki. The reason I never mentioned this earlier was because originally, it was supposed to be indicated in my summery, but I wasn't getting enough audience, so I took out the part clarified Jaylin was female Jaden. I'm only mentioning this in chapter 2, so you guys won't get confused anymore.
