Prologue: Flight From Kaiba Corp
I have to get away... I have to get away... Big Brother doesn't know what he's doing anymore... He's not the Seto I grew up with. He isn't who I look up to.. I have to get away... I have to get away...
He awoke to find himself in the middle of the ocean. He sat up in the boat and remembered what had happened. He looked out to a distant island from under his raven bangs with his dark eyes. Around his neck was a locket shaped like a Duel Monsters card. He sighed before he headed head on towards the island. Academy Island. Home of Duel Academy...
Chapter 1: Secret Idenity
"JAY-DEN!" Syrus Truesdale, a short boy with light blue hair and silver eyes, ran towards Jaden Yuki.
The dark brown and orange haired boy with chocolate brown eyes looked at the Ra Yellow currently running towards him. The Slifer frowned at the look on Syrus' face.
"What's up, Sy?" Jaden asked.
"Some kid just docked in! And he looks really familiar!" exclaimed Syrus.
"Well, let's go!" Jaden hopped up and the two best friends rushed towards the docks...
The Docks:
"That's him!" Syrus said, pointing at a boy barely shorter than Jaden with long raven hair and dark eyes. He was wearing a pair of dark pants, sneakers, a yellow vest, and a light aqua and violet stripped longsleeved shirt. He did look familiar! Jaden and Syrus approached the boy and Syrus became shy, "Hi..."
"Uh... hi." the boy said. "Uh... do you know a place I can hide?"
That's a random thing to say... Jaden thought as the boy continously looked over his shoulder. Well, he can hide at the Red Dorm for awhile. I wonder why he needs hidden though?
"Why do you have to hide?" Jaden asked, narrowing his eyes.
The boy sighed, "Look, if you hide me, I will explain everything later. But NO ONE ELSE can know I'm here. Got it?"
"Got it!" Syrus said quickly, they then used Syrus' blazer and put it over the boy's head before rushing towards the Red Dorm as fast as they could.
The Slifer Dorms:
"Nice dorm." The raven haired boy said quietly as they drew the blinds and closed the door.
"Okay, spill." Jaden ordered.
The boy sighed, he then looked suspisciously towards the walls.
"Got any eavesdropping types?" he asked.
Syrus shrugged and looked outside to make sure no one was out there. The coast was clear.
"Fine..." the boy took a deep breath before speaking in a hushed voice. "My name is Mokuba Kaiba. I'm a runaway. And I can't be found by my brother..."
"Why?" interrupted Jaden.
Mokuba sat crosslegged and began to rock back and forth, "Well, you see, Seto hasn't been acting himself lately. I mean, he's been tending to never leave Kaiba Corp and he's been seeing these really creepy looking guys. And last night... he looked different and tried to hurt me..." Mokuba was trying hard not to cry. "It's like my real brother is dead and he's been replaced with an evil spirit!"
Syrus hugged Mokuba sympathetically. (NOT IN A GAY WAY! HE IS NOT GAY! HE'S SHORT!) Jaden only stared at the younger brother of Seto Kaiba and froze when he heard footsteps approaching.
"Quick! Hide!" Jaden hissed.
The door to Jaden and Syrus' dorm opened as soon as Mokuba shut the closet door. He pressed his ear against the wood to listen to the conversation.
"Takari! W-What're y-you d-doing h-here!?" Syrus stammered horribly.
A girl with dark brown hair, that stopped in the middle of her back, barely shorter than Jaden blinked her silver eyes in confusion, staring at her cousin.
"Sy, you know that I hang out here." Takari Maruzakashi sighed. Syrus sheepishly laughed as his cousin looked towards the closet. "And it's Kari. Call me the 'T' word again and you'll loose the feeling in your fingers, got it?"
"Yes, Kari." Syrus rolled his eyes as Kari laughed.
"What's up, Jaden? You look like you saw a ghost!"
Jaden quickly unpaled and smiled broadly at Syrus' cousin, "What! That's ridiculas! So, how's Obelisk treatin' ya?"
"Fine." Kari replied. "But I hate not being allowed to do anything I want..."
Syrus sweatdropped. His younger cousin was a Freshman this year at Duel Academy. She was actually a good duelist, but few people knew that Kari and Syrus were related. If you stared at their eyes, you could tell. They were identical. But other than that... nope. Kari despised the short skirts that the girls had to wear, so she got away with wearing a pair of shorts underneath. Kari was also good friends with Alexis Rhodes.
"So, what're you two up to?" Kari said, she eyed the closet with her silver eyes suspisciously.
Oh, come off it! I'm gonna suffocate in here! Mokuba was debating whether to pass out or fall out of the closet. Maybe she'll leave...
"Uh... nothing." Both 2nd years lied quickly, chibi-blushing.
"Oh-kay. Have you seen the Dino Nut?" Kari then asked, stalling.
"Hassleberry?" Syrus shrugged.
"Okay, what about Chazz?" continued Kari, smirking.
"Uh..." Jaden looked stumped.
Kari closed the door and planted herself in one of the desk chairs. Staring directly at the closet door, "Oh well. Looks like I'm gonna stay here for awhile."
GOD! The door to the closet door flew open at once and Mokuba finally anime collapsed, landing onto the floor at Kari's feet. His dark eyes closed. She gave a satisfactory smirk before leaping to her feet. Oh no...
"HAH! I KNEW YOU WERE HIDING SOMETHING! I KNEW IT! I-" She was cut off by Jaden clamping his hands over her mouth and she stopped yelling.
"Shut it, Kari! You wanna get us killed!" Jaden hissed in her ear. "Now, if I move my hands, you promise to be quiet?" Kari nodded. "You promise to keep this a secret?" Kari nodded once more. "Good..."
Jaden released Kari and she finally bent down next to Mokuba, "You alright?"
Mokuba opened his eyes and his face filled with chibi-blushes at once.
She looks a lot like Serenity Wheeler... Mokuba thought, thinking of Joey Wheeler's younger sister. Kari indeed did have the same hairstyle as Serenity and her facial features were similar. She's actually kinda cute...
Wow... Kari felt him take her hand and she grapsed it as she pulled him to his feet. He's actually really cute. I wonder who he is? I swear, he seems familiar...
"Kari, this is Mokuba Kaiba." Jaden sighed. "Mokuba, this is Kari Maruzakashi."
"Kaiba?" Kari blinked and stared at Mokuba's face. "As in Seto Kaiba's brother?"
Mokuba shyly nodded, "Yeah... I... I ran away. Can you please keep me being here a secret, Kari?"
Kari slowly smiled a half-smile, "Yes..."
"You'll need a new idenity." Jaden pointed out.
"How about Cloud?" Syrus suggested. "And he's here to visit for a little while."
"Cloud Coleson." Jaden said suddenly. "You're my fifth cousin on my mom's side."
"A secret idenity, huh?" Mokuba smiled. "I'm up for it."
Kari looked worried, "But what if someone recognizes him?"
"He'll just have to act a little different." Syrus added. "And we'll have to get him a uniform."
Jaden opened the closet and tossed Mokuba one of his extra blazers, "Here. We look about the same size."
Mokuba removed his yellow vest before slipping on the blazer. It was a little big, but it could work. Kari then found a red bandana and tied it on Mokuba's head like Hassleberry's dinosaur bandana.
"There. But his shirt clashes horribly." Kari giggled.
Syrus laughed along with his cousin as Jaden searched through the closet for a teeshirt. He emerged after a few minutes with a black one with white trimmings.
"What about this?" Jaden asked.
"Perfect!" exclaimed Syrus.
Kari clapped her hands together in triumph as Mokuba removed the blazer. All three boys turned to Kari at once.
"What?" she dared to ask, her silver eyes wide.
"Uh... Kari." Syrus said, his eyes shifting towards the door.
Kari turned scarlet, "Oh... right... I'll be leaving now..."
She rushed out of there as fast as she could. Once she was gone, Mokuba pulled off his other shirt and put on the new one. Once the blazer was on, he looked pretty cool. Kari knocked on the door and stuck her head in, her eyes shut.
"Can I come back in and see?" she pleaded.
"Yeah." Jaden said, Kari re-entered the dorm and checked Mokuba out.
"Wow..." she let out a low whistle. "Hello, Cloud."
Mokuba blushed a little as Syrus turned to him.
"Do you have your deck and duel disk?" He wondered.
"Yeah." Mokuba said. "Looks like I'm gonna have a secret idenity..."
I just hope I don't get found out... and that I can figure out what's going on with big brother...
