ALRIGHT! Before I say anything, I don't appreciate the little review someone sent me. You know who you are and I don't think it needs to be repeated on here. It was deleted for the purpose of people not needing to read that sort of thing. Please do not do it again.
Now, I took a little break from writing as I had three assignments that I procrastinated over leaving me to write a ten page assignment in less than six hours before the date it was due as I usually do my assignments, the last minute. How I procrastinate is with video games, YouTube, and Facebook. Sometimes, it is writing, but this is not usually the case because it makes me feel bad for not doing assignments. But! Now all the assignments are over and the only thing left are exams that are VERY far away… and by that I mean a couple of weeks to almost a month. So I'm going to have a lot more time to write and lots of time in my room where I am the happiest.
I placed a picture of Regan's uniform on Deviant Art which you can find by looking up my name as it is the same on there as it is on here. If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, you will by the end of this monstrous chapter. I hope you enjoy! : )
Chapter 2
Duel Academy
Wednesday March 14th, 2012
1:00PM
"You want me to go where?!" Yugi exclaimed siting on the couch.
Regan grinned at his reaction when she looked up at him as she lay on Seto's office couch behind him. Seto was behind his desk and heard him typing on his computer.
"I want you to go to my school for your last year." Seto repeated himself. "I need some students to have some eyes on the grounds and to give feedback."
"What kind of school is this that you want me to go to?"
"Not just you, Muto. Regan and if Wheeler can pass the exam he'll be going as well."
"What about everyone else?"
"They are already informed of going; you just happened to be the last one."
Regan turned herself around and placed her chin on the couch arm in confusion. "Why the sudden interest to get everyone in a singular location? I know you have a lot of students already applied for your school and a lot of teachers and so on, but I can't help thinking this has a bit to do with the weird thing that happened on Monday. Does it brother?"
"Not exactly, I personally just want to make sure any weird stuff that will more than likely happen to be in one location, not all over the city."
"But that's endangering the students. There are two demons running around, one of them working for Zorc."
"If the students can't handle the stress then they have no right to be in my school." Seto growled. "This is to separate the strong from the weak. I'm sure some of the students won't be very good at anything, but they might grow to become strong while the strong will find themselves lowed to the standards to the weak. It's either a few students or millions of people in a large city next to several other large cities. I chose the one that would cause the less damage."
"What's the second reason?" Yugi asked catching something she missed.
"No one can go near the area without my permission so anything that happens there won't be caused by anyone that has to go through my system."
"That's a rather large risk to pull Seto." She sighed. "How does Maximillion feel about this?"
"I would say ecstatic, but I can't begin to understand how his mind actually functions."

Regan looked out the window of the large helicopter. The ocean sparkled in the sunlight as an island appeared in the distance. The island was green except for the large light brown volcano that sat near the back of the island. The only thing that stuck out from the island was the large building that had four roofs from what she could hint at from a slightly hidden one: one red closer to the ground, another yellow a little above it in the middle, the hidden one was blue near the top off to the left, and the last was white that covered most of the building behind the three little roofs. Golden colored obelisks surrounded the building. The other things that stuck out was the quarter moon shaped like beach, the water falls that fell into the ocean from the lake on the higher part of the mountain, the manmade harbor with two helicopter landing pads being used, The light house at the end of the dock, the large ship that occupied the space beside the helicopter landing pads, another building that was barely visible to her which was near the volcano, and a road that connected them all.
She wasn't listening to anything that was happening on the helicopter. There were sixteen students on sixteen passenger seats of different ages creating a lot of racket she didn't want to participate in. Her large headphones were over her ears blasting music that made the noise in the background a low hum. Yugi was sitting beside her with the same idea to ignore the rest of the plane and was watching a movie, whether it was in English or not, she didn't know. She did a check around the flying machine; there were several different nationalities on the flight to their home for the year. When she first got on she noticed there were a lot of seats already filled and as they talked to each other in their own languages she realized that Seto had invited students from around the world. There were two pairs of each, German accents, British accents that didn't come from Ryou as he was on a different helicopter, American accents, Australian accents, and even some from accents she couldn't place.
She had no idea that her brother had invited students from around the world before she had entered the helicopter. But, then again this was her brother. He didn't know the meaning of mediocre. Go big and go home or go to the next level that makes everyone question it. Having a school just for duelist was exactly that, the next level of the world. Who knew what would be next? Maybe cities would be built upon the idea of duel monsters in the future. She looked at Yugi; he probably knew the future outcome of Duel Academy. She was about to ask him when the low hum of the students died out. She took off her headphones and heard the pilot on the intercom.
"Attention students, if you look out your windows you'll see your home for the next few months. We will be landing shortly so prepare for landing. Your luggage will be taken to your houses upon landing and you will be sorted into your house where your luggage will be waiting."
"What is this Harry Potter?" One of the German accent students asked in very clean English sarcastically in amusement at the pilot's instructions.
"It could be; I heard that weird stuff happens to all the top duelists that were invited by Seto Kaiba himself." An American girl told him.
"Yea right, the only thing that will be happening is me trying to get his sister to go out with me."
"Alright, then I have Yugi as he will be free."
"Good grief." Regan sighed as some of the other students joined in the discussion and adding several of her friends into the conversation.
"You should have heard at the terminal." Yugi laughed. "They were a lot more people and cat fights almost broke out. I'm surprised this group is just starting now."
"Probably because we weren't far enough away from Seto and they are actually intelligent."
"What about me?" Yugi pretended to be offended.
"As tough and scary as you are against bad guys we happen to be in a helicopter over an ocean, so you aren't that threatening." Regan chuckled placing her head on his shoulder.
"What names are the houses going to have?" A British girl asked breaking up the love conversation of the rest of the helicopter and starting a new one.
"Speaking of houses, do you know what houses are present in this place?" Yugi asked Regan quietly.
"Your guess is as good as mine. Seto has been keeping everything top secret from me and Mokuba wouldn't tell me anything. Do you have an idea?"
"I met someone from Slifer Red almost a year ago during his travels. He came from the future and a really good duelist that came from Duel Academy."
"From the future?!" She exclaimed. "Got any other stories that I should know about?"
"You learned everything about the Orichalcos incident from your brother right?"
"Yea, but I should have been told about it when you told me about your little mishap about it in Death Valley."
"That's because I wasn't there for most of it, so I wouldn't be a good source."
"True and Atem wouldn't tell me a damn thing as every time I tried to ask when I remembered, either one of us got distracted by something else."
"Anyway, what other houses could there be?" Yugi changed the subject looking at the island behind her as they got closer to it.
She thought about his question for a moment. "Maybe there will be a Ra Yellow and an Obelisk Blue if my brother keeps it like a pattern, or he would probably name one of the houses after Blue-Eyes."
"I can see that." Yugi grinned. "I think the students will be sorted by their grades and their dueling skills so we can presume most of our friends will be in the top house if not all of us."
The helicopter landed a few minutes later and they got out. Regan took a look around the island and saw the huge cruise ship at the harbor dock with a never ending line of students leaving it beside her. She followed the line of students to find six teachers, she guessed, going through papers on a desk. Another six were running around in and out of two large trucks passing bags to the teachers who passed it on to the student they were serving. Workers appeared onto the helicopter pads and started to unload the helicopter onto carts. Suddenly, she felt Yugi wrap his arms around her resting them on her shoulders and placed his head on hers. He turned his head causing her to turn hers. She laughed and spotted who she guess he was looking for.
"There they are." She said as he was turning his head away from their friends standing away from the mob like line coming off the boat on the long dock in front of the lighthouse. "By the lighthouse, I'm really glad they waited."
"Getting nervous are you?" Yugi asked her.
"A little, this is an island full of students and a minimum amount of teachers and staff. It took several hours almost seven in total to get here if something goes wrong. The problem won't be the problems we brought or will bring to this island in the long run."
Regan felt Yugi grow confused as his aura shifted. "Then by what?"
"The students will be the majority of the problems. It's like a MMO, the storyline isn't the problem; it's the players having full freedom to do what they like and what they wish without their guardians or parents to tell them what to do which leads to player killers. They could avoid going to class and they can cause trouble as they please and some might even cause more trouble than one wishes to deal with. Hopefully it won't go to the worst, but I'm expecting trouble from some of these students."
"And this is why your brother threw us into his little puppet show, to watch and observe the ground and give him detailed reports. And besides, you know as well as I do that the free roamers will settle down after a few weeks."
"It's not a puppet show, it's…"
"A game for a new way of life," One of the students from the helicopter suggested in a light British accent standing beside them.
Regan nodded causing Yugi to nod as well at the red hair girl with grey eyes. "Exactly uh, what's your name?"
"Oh sorry, my name is Fonda Fontaine."
"Nice to meet you Fonda, I would introduce us; but you probably already know." Yugi replied getting off of Regan.
"Yugi Muto and Regan Heartin, or is it Kaiba now?"
"Heartin Kaiba officially, but Heartin works just fine on its own. There is no need to be swinging a name around like a bat to scare people off, or the other way around."
Fonda nodded as her friend, Regan guessed, arrived beside her, also from the helicopter trip. "Well, we have to go find out what house we're in. See you around."
Regan and Yugi waved goodbye. After a few minutes of waiting for the other students to leave, they left as well heading towards their friends on the dock.
Atem was the first to notice them as they walked towards their five friends. Regan waved catching Ryou's attention, who pointed it out to the others.
"How was the flight?" Regan asked when they finally reached the end of the dock.
"As decent as a trip can get with duelists from around the world." Téa answered from her seat on the dock.
"There was almost a duel on our way over here." Joey added as he continued looking at the deep blue water below the concrete dock.
"Which was caused by you and your big mouth," Tristan scolded.
"Well if he wasn't picking on one of the first years then I wouldn't have had said a thing."
"So you were going to settle it with a duel on the helicopter?" Yugi asked him without much concern.
"No, the other guy was going to." Ryou told him. "He was not only rude, but had no respect for anyone that was on that chopper."
"When all the welcome parties are over, I'm going to find this guy and teach him a little respect."
"Just don't throw the first punch." Regan told him with a tiny grin.
"Of course I won't, that would be totally unfair for the guy. And even if he did throw a punch, I'd pin him and walk him back to his room where the little punk belongs."
"Not a big guy?" Téa questioned.
"He's definitely a daddy's boy." Tristan informed her. "He wouldn't last against Ryou if his life depended on it."
"Hey! I know how to defend myself. I'm just a pacifist." Ryou objected.
"That's my point; he would knock himself out first before you even had the chance to move."
"Oh, I see."
Regan looked over to the lineup and noticed a lot of the students were gone. She didn't notice how much time had passed. "We should head over to the administration table now."
"Good idea." Atem agreed and they left the dock in a moderate pace.
When they got there the last few students were leaving completely oblivious to the world around them as they rushed away holding a booklet from their bag.
"Next." A teacher with black hair in a ponytail and glasses said looking at his paper with a slight German accent. Suddenly, a small brown cat with dark brown markings jumped onto the table blocking the view of the papers. The teacher sighed. "Fine, you win Pharaoh. Have them as your napping mat."
"You named your cat Pharaoh?" Atem asked with amusement written on his face.
"Kitten actually; I just got him before I came to the island. He's barely six weeks old." The teacher looked at the cat with loving annoyance and then back towards them. "By the way, I'm Professor Lyman Banner."
Regan nodded in acknowledgment of his name as she tried her best to stay away from the fuzz ball on the table. After what seemed like hours, which were really only milliseconds, she couldn't help herself anymore and moved closer to the table. "Can I…?"
"Of course."
She starting petting the kitten's soft fur causing the cat to awaken and attempt to climb up her shirt. "He's so cute."
"Careful, you might make Phoenix jealous." Joey mocked in her ear.
"Maybe I should call Seto to bring Phoenix, I'm sure he wouldn't mind." She threatened softly as she picked up the kitten off the papers and snuggled him. "Phoenix has been wanting to see you. It's been so long since your last encounter."
"On second thought, you just keep comforting that kitten, I'm going to get my stuff and find out where my room is."
"Are we almost done here?" Someone asked coming towards them.
"Just about done Chancellor Sheppard," A teacher said coming from the truck that seemed familiar.
Regan looked up from Pharaoh to see Mr. Croc holding the two bags. The other five teachers brought out the rest of their bags from the trucks.
"Mr. Croc?!" Yugi exclaimed.
"Hello students from last year. Who would have thought we would all be seeing each other again this year."
"Glad to see everyone is getting along student and teacher alike." Chancellor Sheppard smiled warmly. "Just came to make sure everything was going smoothly and if any help was needed. Oh, looks like the last ones happen to be the best of the best."
"We decided to wait while everyone got their things." Téa told him. Regan felt Téa drift her attention over to her even though she was still playing with the kitten. "Apparently some of us didn't mind the wait."
"Well, if you like, I can take you to your dorms. You want to come with us Banner? I believe you are the head of the house for most of these students."
"Sure."
A pretty female teacher with blond hair stepped in front of Regan holding a bag with a DA symbol on it. "You are Regan Heartin Kaiba right?"
"That's me. Oh um," Regan turned to Professor Banner. "I should probably give Pharaoh back to you, sorry about that. I love cats."
"I'm sure he didn't mind the spoiling treatment." Professor Banner replied with a smile taking back the small kitten.
Regan turned to the blond teacher and took her bag. "Thank you Professor?"
"Professor Allison Templeton, head doctor and nurse of the school as well as the head of the Girl's Dorm. Hope you have a good school year."
"You too." Regan smiled as the other teachers gave the bags to her friends.
"Come along everyone, you have to change into your school uniforms and head to the school's opening ceremony at the time in your little information booklet." Chancellor Sheppard told them and started walking along side Professor Banner down the harbor.
Regan walked along side Yugi as they walked across the bridge to get to the main island. She took a look inside her bag and found a white sleeveless top with blue trimming around the collar and the bottom of jacket like top. She then pulled out a blue miniskirt that was shorter than the one she had at Domino High. "If Seto thinks I'm going to wear this, he is very much mistaken."
"What's wrong?" Yugi asked beside her.
"This uniform, it's like he's trying to be perverted which is not in him at all."
"It doesn't seem that bad." Téa said as she also pulled out the same uniform. "It comes with gloves and boots too."
"It wouldn't be that bad if I liked wearing skirts, there's a reason why I don't wear them."
"Well the good thing about the uniforms is that they are all standardized within the first year bags and you can change them. Then again there are uniforms in your rooms that may be different if you have any connections on the outside. Or you may change them yourself later on." Chancellor Sheppard said happily not looking back at them. "So before we get over the bridge, what color are your uniforms?"
"There are different colors?" Atem asked.
"Yes, there are three dorms and three colors of uniforms to tell which dorm you're from. There is the Red Dorm, the Yellow Dorm and the Blue Dorm though because there aren't as many Blue Dorm students they are three buildings."
"Three blue dorms for a small amount of people; that seems a bit extreme."
"Students over the course of this year will mostly likely end up in the blue dorm as their grades and dueling skills grow and are assessed properly. Most of you I believe are in the smaller dorm as you are the first original blue dorm students. There is also the girls' dorm as the other dorms don't have a separation between the two genders so Mr. Kaiba created a place for just the girls to live which happens to be the Girls Blue Dorm. Then there is the dorm for the other students that will mostly like move to the blue dorm over the next month. Though, there are a few students in there that were changed over last week due to redoing the exam or dueling pro duelists."
Regan turned to Yugi. "What color is your uniform?"
"Uh," Yugi shuffled through his bag and pulled out a long white jacket with blue trimming. After that he pulled out a black pair of pants. "I guess I'm a blue as well. This is a nice jacket."
"I'm a blue as well." Atem stated looking into his bag not pulling anything out.
"Same here," Ryou answered with a smile.
"Well Joey," Tristan started as he pulled out a yellow jacket that was similar to the girls only with sleeves. "Looks like you and me are in the Yellow Dorm buddy."
They walked off the bridge and Regan saw a small two floor apartment. "Which dorm is this?"
"This is the Red Dorm where the lowest scoring students or duelists that aren't good yet stay." Professor Banner explained as they walked by it towards the large building.
Not very long after that they came to another break in the large path where the large building she saw from the helicopter.
"This is where classes will take place along with a large duel arena where duels will be held or students can challenge each other and other duelists can watch." The professor continued.
"Then that's where I'm going to duel that little punk if I see him again." Joey vowed loudly causing the two adults to laugh.
They continued down the path and came to the large lake she saw in the helicopter and three houses were visible. Two of them were white with blue roofs while the other was yellow with a green roof. They looked much nicer, especially the white ones compare to the red dorm.
"This is where the students who will be transferring over to the blue dorm will be going as the original blue dorm is already filled." The chancellor explained as they stopped next to the large building. "Down the lake towards the edge of the island is the Yellow Dorm and the white dorm across the lake is the Girl's Dorm."
"Nice we get a lake and an ocean view." Tristan grinned as he looked towards the yellow building.
"Hey guys, we'll see you at the opening ceremonies." Joey said suddenly.
"You aren't going to come see where our dorm is?" Ryou asked.
"You can show us afterwards." Tristan said as they were already walking away from the group.
"I wonder why they left us in such a rush." Regan pondered.
"They must be excited to get to their rooms." Téa responded.
"You girls are in the original dorm as well as it is a coed dorm." Professor Banner stated as they continued their walk. "You can choose to go to the female dorm if you wish."
"Will there be other girls in our dorm?" Téa asked.
"Only the best of the best, the Girls dorm is for all the girls attending this school. Only the original blues are staying at the smaller Blue Dorm."
They continued walking down the path passed the female dorm and finally stopped in front of a smaller dorm that was surrounded by a fence with a fancy gate and nice lawn.
"And this is your dorm." Chancellor Sheppard announced. "Professor Banner is the head of your house so if you have any questions or concerns you can ask him."
"I do have one question." Yugi said without missing a beat. "I'm just going to take a guess, but are the full names of the dorms Slifer Red, Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue?"
"That's correct. I didn't think anyone would have guessed that before the opening ceremonies."
"It was just a hunch with the names and their colors."
The chancellor looked at his watch. "Oh goodness, I have to go get ready for the opening. I'll leave there rest up to you Lyman."
The man ran in the direction they came from. The professor opened the gate and they followed him inside. Once in the dorm Regan was amazing by its complexity. The large hallway was brightly painted white and the floor looked slippery with wax as it reflected the chandelier's light from the high ceiling. There were a few tables and chairs spread around the room for socializing. Next to the door was a wardrobe for coats and shoes. The lobby like hallway seemed to go to other places as a hallway opened up at the end of it and a door way in it on the left just behind some stairs that led up to an upper floor. Then, she noticed two tablets over two cabinets on each side of the wall. She went over to the left one and somewhat recognized the pictures, but she couldn't get their names to form in her brain. All the objects except for one had the eye of Udjat on it. There was a key was the only one without the Udjat symbol, a ring with a triangle in it, a rod, an eye, a necklace, and a set of scales and then she saw something familiar, the Millennium Puzzle.
Nile suddenly appeared beside her looking over the tablet in interest. "These are the seven Millennium Items."
"Now this is something I wasn't expecting from Kaiba, more than your homeroom teacher." Atem said sounding almost amused. "To think he would throw the origins of Duel Monsters in the first form of how they were summoned."
"These tablets are the originals?!" Ryou exclaimed.
"Straight from Egypt."
"Well would you look at that, there are more students in this dorm after all. Took you guys long enough, thought I was going to be the only girl with a bunch of perverted males." A female voice echoed from the stairs.
Regan looked up and saw the girl who was on their flight only this time she was in the white and blue uniform. "Fonda? You are in this dorm too?"
"Yeah, and I guess since you guys are probably the last ones going through the administration tables, there are only three of us girls in here."
"So you guys have met your nurse in training." Professor Banner said suddenly scaring Regan slightly. She had forgotten he was there.
"Well, only Yugi and I have met her. She was on our flight over here." Regan told him.
"Hello my name is Téa Gardner and this is Atem Muto and Ryou Bakura." Téa introduced herself to Fonda.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Fonda Fontaine. And as you heard from the professor, I'm a nurse in training. If there is anything you might be having a problem with that isn't over the top I can probably help you." Fonda said with a smile.
"We'll keep that in mind, Regan is scared of hospitals." Atem replied and then turned to Professor Banner. "So when does this thing start?"
"The ceremony doesn't start for another hour, so I guess get yourselves changed and get situated with your things. After the ceremonies we'll have a large welcome party where you can meet the rest of your peers in the dorm." Professor Banner answered. "I'll meet you at supper tonight, don't be late."
With that he turned and walked out the door. Regan thought she sensed something off about him, but she just shook it away not having a clue what it was. She looked into her bag and pulled out a little booklet. On the front cover of the book was her name and room number with words 'Original Blue Dorm' beside it. With a key attached to the booklet, she found it rather amusing at how simple everything was put together. "Room number five, now where would you be."
"I'm room six; I guess we are beside each other."
"I wouldn't say right beside each other." Fonda replied. "There are only ten rooms within this building where people are sleeping."
"How big are these rooms?" Téa asked. "This dorm is huge."
"Well there are all sorts of rooms that are for studying and playing some instruments as well there is a dueling arena within the dorm and a bathhouse for each of the genders."
"Wow."
"See you guys at supper, I'm going to put my things away, if you need anything my room is number seven. Oh, all the rooms are upstairs, I should probably mention that."
"Thanks," Regan called as she left towards the hallway that mirrored the hallway behind the staircase.
The five of them went up the stairs and saw that the upper floor ringed the lobby. She looked at the first room by the stairs to her left and found room number six. "I found your room Yugi."
"Already? I thought I would have to travel for it." Yugi said as he walked towards the room. "Regan, you're room is on the end of this little loft."
"Cool, what rooms do you have?" She asked her friends.
"Room one for me." Ryou answered pointing to the other side of the room, "Parallel to yours."
"Number three for me." Téa stated as she flipped her book around.
"And number four for me." Atem added looking at his book. "I still don't understand why I'm here as a student, I would be a year too old for this system."
"Maybe there is information in the book about your task."
Atem flipped open his book and on the first page he stopped to read it. "He wants me to be a Duel Advisor and judge at major duel events in the Duel Arena in the school building."
"You sound disappointed." Nile joked beside Regan appearing again.
"I'm not disappointed Nile, just surprised that that is the only reason why I'm in this school besides making sure the first year goes well."
"I think he wants you to make sure all the students are safe when they are dueling and call any off if there is something you are sensing that aren't right in a supernatural sense." Regan said as she thought about it more. "Like a guardian."
"I'll keep that in mind when something goes wrong and you or Yugi aren't in the arena."
"Better keep those students safe Mr. Guardian." Nile grinned like a fool before disappearing again.
"Sometimes I wish I had that trick again." He sighed. "Come on Téa. We'll see you at the school building guys."
"See you there." Yugi told him as the two left into the hallway where Fonda went.
Ryou left them as well and walked along the loft and into the first room in the corner. Regan turned from Ryou's room to Yugi. "See you shortly, I apparently have to change and it won't be into the uniform in this bag."
Yugi smiled. "Alright, I'll knock when it's time to go."
She smiled as well scrapping her hand along his as she moved to her room. She took the key attached to the book and took it off. She slipped it into the door and it unlocked with ease. She opened the door and was greeted to an Egyptian Mau lying on her bed lazily in the setting sun. "Phoenix!" She squeaked in delight as she dropped her bag at the door and ran to the cat on the bed leaving the door wide open. The cat meowed slightly as she picked him up and started cuddling with him. It wasn't too long before she noticed she had an audience watching her pamper her cat.
Ryou, Yugi, Fonda and two other guys, one really tall with brown messy hair and the other that was average height with blond hair that was just as messy. She felt slightly embarrassed about squeaking so loudly.
"Phoenix huh?" The guy with brown hair asked with an Australian accent she recognized on the helicopter. "Handsome cat."
"Thanks," She replied awkwardly.
"I'm Laurus Clifton, room two and this is my friend Quirinus Moore from room eight. We're from the land were people don't need to kill other people as everything is trying to kill us."
"Australia right?" Regan giggled making the scene a little less strange. "You're first names are Roman, that's really cool."
"Why thank you." Quirinus smiled in a carefree way. "Hope the first year of this island goes well."
"So do the rest of us, it's a huge risk to start up something like this and people will probably want to sabotage it." Regan replied thinking of her brother. It wasn't just the demons hiding in the shadows that were the major problems with this idea. She knew her brother's reputation was on the line for creating such a school and it was very questionable and could easily get torn apart by rivals.
"Your brother has guts to throw this genius idea into reality," Laurus told her. "Or he's nuts."
"You have no idea how many times those two words coincide with each other."
"So are you surprised that Phoenix is here?" Someone stated suddenly causing everyone to be alert and look around the room.
It took Regan a second to recognize who said it and turned to the noise. She got of the bed and Phoenix took over her pre-warmed spot on the bed in the sun. She walked over to the closet door on that was against the wall beside the dresser on the left side of the room and pulled it open to find Seto in the closet.
"What are you doing in my closet?" Regan said in such a deadpanned voice, she even surprised herself.
"I was placing in the few things you left behind like your cat's food and one of the bag managers closed the door on me. Turns out you can't get out from the inside. So I just waited quietly for you to show up and open the door for you uniform as I figured you wouldn't wear the standard one."
She looked in behind him noticing there was a light shining behind him lighting up the whole closet. "This is a full walk-in closet."
"Glad to know you have a brain working in there." Seto stated sarcastically.
"I could lock you in there again, I can always where the standard uniform for tonight and then change into my PJs which are out here. Who knows when I'll come back to open that closet door." Regan threatened playfully. "I have five other who could help me."
He rolled his eyes and placed his hand on her head. He moved her backwards and out of his way from the closet. "Now that I have wasted enough time learning every inch of your closet, I believe I have someplace to be."
She watched him exit her room as her friends moved out of his way. "You are going to stay a little while afterwards aren't you?"
"I might have time; all depends on what punk pulls what trick between now and the end of the opening ceremonies."
"Well if you do, could you join us for supper before you go?"
"I guess if you want me to, Alex is walking around the island right now so she'll probably be hungry by the time the ceremony is over."
"Thanks Seto."
He didn't reply to her as he started to leave. "Yugi,"
"Kaiba?" her boyfriend questioned.
"Don't get your title taken over the school year, that's my job."
"Of course it is."
With that Regan walked out of her room and saw him walk out the door of the dorm from above.
There was a few seconds of silence before Quirinus scared her half to death as he yelled. "I get to eat with Seto freaking Kaiba!"
Regan turned back to the five of them. "Sorry for disturbing you all like that, I was just surprised to see my cat here."
"I don't think any of us mind as now we get to eat with your brother and your sister-in-law." Fonda told her with a faint blush.
"Just shout when there is trouble, alright?" Yugi stated to her in a joking fashion.
"Alright, then you scream when you are in trouble." Regan played back walking into her room. "See you guys later."
She shut the door, but didn't hear the footsteps of her peers leave from the other side of her door. She was about to open it again when Laurus commented. "Quite the girl you have there."
"You have no idea." Yugi said with happiness.
Her friends left and Regan looked towards her open closet. She wandered over to it and found a week's worth of school uniforms lining the right side of the wall. Underneath them were two pairs of the same boots that matched the ones in her bag. She walked in and pulled out one of the outfits and proceeded to put it on the bed.
There were two windows as her room was in the corner of the dorm. She pulled the blinds close on both windows and her room went pitch black except for the tiny light that came from the walk-in closet. She turned on the light in the room as she kicked off her shoes and started to undress herself on her way back to the bed. She took the outfit off the hanger when she was just in her socks and undergarments and put on the bottoms which turned out to be a white skort and a royal blue line across the bottom. Then she put on a black tank top that was a tight turtle neck like the one her brother often wore.
She then put on the trench coat like vest that flared out behind her. It covered her shoulders with a pauldron like design. Her collar stuck straight up parting her hair dividing the blond parts in two with some of the smaller parts in the front and the rest of her hair behind the collar. The coat was closed with a shoulder wrap and a gold color button. The entire uniform was white except for the trim of every part of her coat was in the color of royal blue. In the front of the jacket were three point: one straight down and the other two curved in. There was a royal blue upside down pentagon on her chest with the inside white. There were arm sleeves that were left on the hanger and she slipped them on. They went up to the top of her arm leaving only some skin between the pauldron and the tight sleeve. She slipped the bottom part over her middle finger holding the hand flap in place. The sleeves were also at the top and at her wrist had a trim of blue and the hand flap was outlined in blue.
She went over to the bag that her cat was certainly trying to get into and pulled out the boots that were in there and slipped them on her feet. She adjusted her Blue-Eyes Ultimate dragon necklace and River's Puzzle as she looked around her room that was no bigger than the one her room at home. Her large bed was off to the far side of the room against the wall and there was a door on the other side of the dresser. She walked over to it, noticing a cat flap installed and opened the door to find a full sized bathroom with the cat litter, food and water against the wall. She walked out and found Phoenix completely inside of the bag on its side. Everything that was in the bag was out of it and all around the bag and Phoenix's head and paws were out of it like the bag was an igloo.
"As smart as you are, your cat instincts to just leave everything everywhere is just something else." She remarked to the cat as she picked up the stuff and came across a pouch that was just as large as her deck box. She opened it to find a small PDA in the back part of the pouch closed off from the rest of the pouch that was empty like it was a pocket. She was glad to have such a thing as she loved pockets and didn't have any on her coat or skort. She grabbed it leaving the things from the bag on her bed and put it on her deck belt. She stuck her phone in the pocket before slipping on the belt through her skort loops and the two pouches disappeared under her coat. She opened the blinds again and then turned to the door grabbing her duel disk from her backpack. She opened the door and left it open to allow Phoenix to wander around.
She went over to Yugi's room finding it surprising easy to walk in the heeled boots as she placed on her Duel Disk and knocked on his door. It wasn't even after a millisecond before Yugi opened the door wearing black pants that fit him exactly like his Domino uniform and his coat was like hers with the long trench coat that seemed to defy gravity and color right down to the pentagon shape. The front of his coat was much higher than hers and she could see his belt and the black shirt that was tucked in. The only thing he didn't have was the pauldron like design on his shoulders. His shoes were his regular black shoes.
"You would amazing Regan." Yugi exclaimed looking at her uniform.
"Thanks so do you. Should we get Ryou or did he already leave?"
"I was about to when I saw you two standing there." The said teenager answered behind her. "Nice uniforms."
"Same with you Ryou."
Ryou had the exact uniform that Yugi wore. She thought it would have washed out the color that Ryou had, but it didn't. It worked out for him really well.
"He looks like an angel ready for battle." Nile said in her head not making an appearance for everyone to listen to.
'Does he look better than what you had imaged?' Regan asked her. She didn't answer so Regan waved it off. "We should get going now."
Yugi nodded and the three of them walked down the stairs and out the door. They followed the same path that they had come before and eventually saw students flooding into the building. They followed them trying to not draw much attention to themselves, but white was a very attractive color to the human eye. They followed the pack to a giant duel arena where there were seats all around the center stage making her feel like this was an amphitheater in Rome. Yugi said something she couldn't make out through the noise and pointed to what he was probably said about. Up on the bleachers were Atem and Téa in white and blue trimming uniforms with Joey and Tristan in yellow and white uniforms. She looked around and noticed all the yellows and reds had the same type of jacket and that only the seven male jackets that she knew existed were different from the rest of them. The females all had the same uniform as well with the vest like jacket that only when to the hip and blue miniskirts all in white and blue. She would have thought the white and would have hidden all the yellow and red color, but to her surprised there were a lot of yellows and reds throughout the stands. The girls in white and the ten from the Original Blue Dorm were outnumbered quickly.
The lights dimmed just as Regan, Yugi, and Ryou got to their friends and everyone quiet down just as fast and cleared out of the arena and into the stands in silence. There was an outline of someone walking in. Regan's eyes adjusted quickly to the darkness and noticed a burgundy coat like the white jackets with a high doubled over collar on the person. The lights came on and Chancellor Sheppard stood in the middle of the dueling field.
"Welcome students to the first year of Duel Academy!" He said in a loud voice and students cheered. "I hope you are finding everything to your liking and if you aren't so satisfied make sure to duel your best and do as well in your grades to advance to top house. As you have probably figured out that there are three dorms levels on this island. There is the Slifer Red Dorm for students who need to work on their grades or dueling skills. The Ra Yellow dorm is for the average grades or dueling skills students. And finally, the Obelisk Blue dorm is where the best dueling and studious students stay.
"You can advance your house if you are good in either dueling or your studies. If you beat a duelist in a higher house or have a good duel record you can go to the next house or even straight to the top if you are in the Red Dorm and beat a Blue Dorm student. If you have top marks in your classes you can advance that way as well. Though, be warned, your house will change if your dueling skills lack or if you are lacking in your studies. So over the next few months I will be expecting the best from you and one day become a pro duelist if that is your goal to become, a teacher if that is your goal to teach others about dueling or other lessons, or even go to the top to become the next King of Games or Queen of Games."
There was more cheering when suddenly the door slammed close causing people to quiet down. Seto walked into the arena with his steps echoing in the silence. He stopped next to the chancellor. "That is, if you can beat the royal duelists, but you would have to go through me first to get to the king." There wasn't any sound for a few moments and Seto grinned. "I didn't think there were any offers. So as this is an opening for the first Duel Monsters School to be created, I think it needs a little duel to end it all."
Suddenly, Joey stood up making his presence very known giving Regan a headache. She had never seen his aura flare up like it was before.
"Wheeler, you have something to say?"
"Ya, I got something to say." Joey shouted. "Let me have the first duel with that punk on my helicopter that was picking on one of the first year students."
"Are you sure you want that?" A male answered on the other side of the arena. Regan took a closer look and found he was wearing a blue jacket with white trimming. "Because it seems to me, you are a rank lower than me."
"I don't care what rank you are, get your duel disk out and get ready to start eating your words!"
"Alright Wheeler, since you seemed to have had your bone stolen from this guy; I'll let you have the opening duel." Seto told him getting serious as he turned to the Obelisk Blue student. "What's your name second year Obelisk? You aren't in the Original Blue Dorm."
"I'm Brody Edgar from America." the Obelisk replied. "And I accept your challenge, Joey Wheeler."
"Figured that from your manners," Regan said softly to Yugi just as Seto said it loudly.
She took a look at Yugi before turning to Seto who turned to her as if he heard her say the same thing. She chucked a smile at him and Seto got back to being host. Joey and Brody quickly left the stands, Joey the more parkour way.
"Let the first duel of the school year begin!" Seto stated and cheers blasted across the room.
