(A/N: I own nothing and what if Jaden had a big secret…well quite a few of them actually? One of them isn't much of a surprise. The others on the other hand will rock everyone at Duel Academy to their core and he's not even trying to keep them a secret! AU OOC FemJaden, Sick!Jaden Femslash and Bashing)

"Why are you all referring to me as a guy?" Jaden asked looking at the rest of the Slifers confused and curious while they gave him weird looks. It was a week after he passed the Entrance Exam and the whole dorm decided to have a giant sleepover the night before classes were due to begin, this way they could get to know each other better. Heck even Mr. Banner joined in!

"But… aren't you a guy Jaden?" Syrus asked, the small blue haired boy looking adorably confused.

"Jeez I know binding my chest to make breathing easier makes me appear flat chested but I didn't know that it would make everyone assume I'm a boy." Jaden said pouting slightly as he, sorry she, looked down at her chest.

"Wait… you're not a boy?" The wide Koala loving Chumley asked staring at one of his new roommates shocked and wide eyed.

"Nope! I'm one hundred percent female!" Jaden said cheerfully, causing most guys jaws to drop. Now that they looked at her a bit closer they couldn't help but wonder how they thought she was a boy o begin with…she was so feminine even without the bust!

"The first female Slifer." One boy muttered staring at Jaden wide eyed while she gave a small smile to everyone before her eyes widened.

"Are you alright Jay?" Syrus yelped worried when Jaden grasped her chest with one hand and covered her mouth with the other as she tried to stifle a coughing fit. Jaden continued coughing for a minute before she released her shirt and sat down heavily in an empty chair. Lowering her hand, everyone gasped wide eyed when the saw red splatters on her hand and around her mouth.

"Sorry... my attack was pretty mild this time." Jaden said her voice hoarse as she looked up at all of them, her skin having gone a shade or two paler.

"J-Jaden? What…What's?" Syrus was confused and horrified as he stared at his first friend who gave him a weak smile with rosy red splattered lips.

"It's nothing bad Sy. This attack was pretty mild actually." Jaden said gently to her confused and scared friend.

"Coughing up blood is not considered mild, Ms. Yuki." Professor Banner, the Slifer dorm headmaster, said looking at Jaden worried while she sighed and looked down at her hand.

"I have cancer, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma disease to be more exact. It's a cancer that originates in your lymphatic system, the disease-fighting network spread throughout your body. In non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, tumors develop from lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. It's a blood cancer that can begin anywhere in your body. You can get it at any age, but it's a cancer that's more common for guys to have, girls don't have too many chances of ever getting it…I'm just one of the unlucky ones." Jaden said looking up at all of them as she wiped her hand on her blazer, the blood mixing in and hiding amongst the Slifer Red colors.

"…Wha-What are your…" One of the older boys asked causing Jaden to give a weak smile.

"My symptoms?" She finished for him, causing him to nod mutely.

"Symptoms to this cancer include night sweats, fever and chills that come and go, itching, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, groin, or other areas, weight loss, coughing or shortness of breath if the cancer affects the thymus gland or lymph nodes in the chest, putting pressure on the windpipe (trachea) or other airways, abdominal pain or swelling, leading to loss of appetite, constipation, nausea, and vomiting, headache, concentration problems, personality changes, or seizures if the cancer affects the brain." Jaden said as clearly as she could which wasn't too much considering how weak her voice seemed at the moment.

"And also loss of blood?" Banner asked as everyone stared at her shocked and horrified about the degree of the symptoms and how many there are.

"That really depends on how much the cancer spreads through the body and how fast as well as what grade the cancer is and where it spreads to. In my case, since I also have a metastasis, which is what makes the cancer spread a lot faster, spread it to any other part of my body it wants, and attacks all cells in my body that try to keep my immune system going, yeah, it includes losing my blood." Jaden said making a few of the more squeamish ones look pale or ill.

"…How long?" Banner asked quietly, his voice sounding choked as he looked at the single girl amongst all of the guys in the dorm room.

"I'm guessing you mean how long before it kills me? Truth is…I don't know. Both of my parents were exposed to some strange and powerful energies that merged with their bodies before my mom had me…I inherited a good bit of that energy when I was born so it's kept me pretty strong and healthy for most of my life so far. There's no telling when exactly that energy will keep my illness mostly at bay…but some of the doctors my uncle hired to specifically care for me said that I had at least a year before my powers might start being ineffective. My uncles hired some of the best researchers and scientists to try and find a cure for it before that time is up though." Jaden said sighing while everyone stared at her as she wiped the blood off of her face and onto her blazer without care.

Before anyone could say anything, Jaden's PDA beeped showing a call.

"Hey there slacker. I challenge you to a duel, tonight at midnight. Inside the Duel Arena. Go ahead and show up if you're not chicken. Let's see if you have skill or just dumb luck." Chazz, the arrogant Obelisk jerk from earlier, said smirking at Jaden before signing off before she could answer.

"Well that was random." Jaden said blinking down at her PDA.

"After hours duels are forbidden, and Mr. Princeton knows that. Let me make a call to Chancellor Sheppard and see if we can't work something else out." Banner said frowning as he looked at his rather frail looking student as she seemed to jump back to full health in a few seconds. Was that the work of the strange 'energy' she spoke about?

"Can I still duel him? Syrus said he was pretty good but he's way too arrogant so I want to knock him down a couple of pegs." Jaden asked blinking innocently and hopefully up at Banner, inadvertently using the puppy dog eyes that had him and the rest of the dorm wrapped around her finger immediately.

"I'll see what I can do. Be careful though, Mr. Princeton always creates his deck to counter his opponents when he's the challenger." Mr. Banner warned causing Jaden to grin wickedly like one of her many uncles taught her too, which made everyone gulp. Apparently the grin was pretty scary even when being used by a young girl.

"Then I'll have fun trolling him." Jaden said pushing herself up out of the chair, causing Syrus, Chumley, and the others closest to her to gently sit her back down again.

"Where are you going Jaden?" Syrus asked causing Jaden to blink and look at him confused.

"To get my suitcase. I want to get something out of it but it's in our room so I have to go get it." Jaden said causing Syrus and Chumley to look at each other before Chumley nodded and left. Jaden looked confused after the Australian boy before he came back in a moment later dragging her plain black suitcase behind him.

"Geez what's in this thing? Bricks?" Chumley asked sweating as he tried to drag it. Jaden rolled her eyes and stood up, taking the suitcase and picking it up easily which made Chumley gape at her as she put it on one of the nearby tables. Most guys gaped when the table, which didn't look it but was quite sturdy, groaned underneath the weight as Jaden went to unlatching the latches.

"Thanks Chumley but I could have gotten it. It's not that heavy." Jaden said not looking up as she undid one final latch before a scanner opened up on the front of the case and a key pad. Jaden placed her hand on the scanner and entered some random numbers with her other hand. After a minute the briefcase beeped and opened automatically.

"He may try to counter my Hero deck but…" Jaden trailed off with a grin as she turned the suitcase to face the rest of the students, making them all gape. Inside the suitcase on the back of the lid were at least ten pouches that had decks in each one of them, all labeled, and on the bottom of the suitcase were stacks upon stacks of cards ranging from weak common ones to super rare powerful ones. No one could do anything but gape as Jaden smirked and finished off the sentence that signaled Chazz's upcoming defeat.

"He can't counter all of my decks!"
