Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Fanfiction: The One I'm Looking for

Draw 02

Draw 02 : Blair and Alexis

"HUHH?!"
The whole Slifer Red dorm goes into a chaos the moment they know about Blair's cross-dressing.

Since the one who knows about her secret are Jaden's close friends.

Blair bows her head as she speak.

"I'm sorry to deceive you guys back then, but I had to do it because of some circumstances..."
"Sigh... Don't apologize." Said Chazz who is standing beside her.
Blair immediately lifts her head and looks at Chazz.

"Do they look like they're going to reject you because of your deed?"

Chazz points at the direction of the crowd.
Just when she follow the direction of his finger...

"That's correct! How can we reject you Blair! Those who wants to reject her can raise their hands! I will beat the crap out of them!"
"I will kill myself immediately if I ever think about rejecting you!"

"Guys..."
Blair's a little moved by the rate of acceptance.

"..." Jaden who is silent all this time stares at Blair's figure.

-About 10 minutes ago-

"I don't like it."
"Huh?"
"I know it's just an accident, but I still can't accept the fact that Alexis Rouge kiss you, Jaden."
"Well, it's not like that... I'm also one to blame after all. And her name is Alexis Rhodes not Rouge."
"I don't care if it's Rouge or Roger. I'm going back to the dorm."

Blair runs off on her own, this time on the right direction.

"I told you her name is Rhodes, tho... But I think she will not listen."

Jaden fixes his clothes as he stand.

"..."

He can still feel the sensation on his lips where Alexis kissed him.

"So this is a kiss... This lingering feeling... I wonder if I can forget it..."

-Back to the current time-

"Blair..."
Jaden unconsciously calls out to her.

Blair looks back at him, probably hearing his voice and smiles a little before facing back to the other dorm-mate.

"It seems like she's not too unstable."
"Who is unstable?"
"It's- Wha! You surprised me Chazz!"
"How rude of you to yell the moment this Chazz asked you something. So what's the deal?"
"... I'm not really sure myself."

After dealing with the dorm-mates, Blair runs to Jaden happily.

"Jaden!"
"Uh... Yeah."
"I see you're still head over heels for this slacker, brat."
"You got a problem with that!?"
"Now, now... Don't start fighting out of nowhere..."

Ignoring Chazz, Blair returns to Jaden once again.

"Say, Jaden."
"Hm? What is it?"
"Do you know when can I meet Alexis Rouge alone?"
"Like I said it's Rhodes, let's see... If I'm not mistaken she likes to go to the light house just to enjoy the sea breeze."
"I see, I got it. Then let's have fun now!"
"Huh? Wo-woahh!"

Blair pulled Jaden happily and God knows where they go.

-In the dorm room-

"Oh, you're back Jaden?"
"I'm so tired..."

Jaden fell on his bed.
Syrus can only guess that handling Blair is not so easy after all.

"Sucks to be ya, Jaden. But I think you're quite lucky yourself."
"What do you mean, Syrus?"
"Well, it's every man's dream to be chased by a girl you know?"
"... This again, like I always say..."
"She's no longer a kid, she's a teenager now."
"... But still, that does not change the fact that I only care of dueling at the moment."
"Sigh, you're always like that Jaden. That's why Alexis can't confess to you."
"-What?"

Jaden doubted his hearing for a moment.

"Like what I said, Alexis hesitated to confess because she knew that you only care of dueling. I mean, is there any single soul here that doesn't know about her feelings for you?"
"..."

Jaden ponders a bit.

Just like what Syrus said, Alexis did show a lot of oblivious signs of affection at him.
It's just that Jaden doesn't want to admit that her feelings were there because he doesn't have any romantic experience.

"... Alexis..."

Blair who is standing in front of the door overheard what Syrus said.
She clenches her fists and exhales slowly.

-The next day-

Jaden wakes up at 6 AM, but he can't find Blair anywhere. Even though she's supposed to be sleeping at the bed below his.

"Huh? Where's Blair?"
"Dunno, perhaps she departed already?"

Chumley pointed at the window as he takes a bite of bread.

"..." Jaden silently stares at the light house where Alexis usually go.

...

Alexis is currently standing near the light house.
The place where she usually visit when she's trying to be alone.

"..."

She can't forget what happened last night.
There's no way she can forget it.

"... I really kissed him..."

She can feel her cheeks starting to burn in embarrassment.
She quickly shook her head to perish the thought.

"I can't. I need to collect my composure."
"So you really are here."

Just when she's about to leave the light house, Blair approach her from behind.

"Oh, Blair. What brings you here?"
"... I have something to talk to you."

Thanks to Blair's appearance Alexis managed to forget about the kiss for the moment.
But she can't figure out what Blair wants to talk to her.

"Something to talk to me?"
"Yes, you love Jaden don't you?"

The straight forward question caught Alexis off-guard.
She even remembered the kiss again.

"Wha-What!? No! I don't love him or anything!"
"Then why are you so flustered by it? How fishy."

Blair narrows her eyes, not amused.

"Anyway, I'm not in love with him!"
"That means I'm free to approach him, right?"
"Huh..."
"You're not in love with him, not to mention you're not his girlfriend. So you have no right to stop me am I wrong?"
"Wait Blair, what are you-"
"I love Jaden. And I'm not going to hand him over to you."

Alexis felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

"Don't joke around, Blair... You know that you're just a kid..."
"I'm already 11 years old now, I'm a legit teenager."
"But romance is still too early for you..."
"I saw you two kissing last night."

Alexis' face immediately turns red.
She didn't expect anyone to witness that scene.

"Th-That was an accident!"
"I know that much. But no matter what, a kiss is still a K.I.S.S."
"Don't phrase it that clearly!"
"I don't plan on losing, Alexis."
"What...?"
"Like I said. I..."

Jaden is on his way to the light house, and when he's about to call both of the girls...

"I love Jaden as a man. I don't plan to give him to anyone but me."
"...!"

Alexis' expression froze.
Jaden, who heard Blair's statement is also losing the ability to react.

"... You're free to do what you want. What you're doing is of no concern to me."

After saying that sentence, Alexis walks past Blair and leaves the light house without uttering a single word to Jaden who is frozen like a statue.

"Blair..." Finally regaining the ability to speak, Jaden calls out for Blair.

"-You heard me, I will not let Alexis have you."

Blair's eyes are dead serious.
She's totally not playing around.
She clearly stated that she's in love with Jaden and will not back down to her love rival.
