My Whirlwind High School Romance

It Begins

Continuing with Zane's POV

Syrus and Jaden walked side by side in front of me as we made our way to school. It's been 5 days and nothing as of yet has happened. Reggie hasn't shown up at the school nor has David woke up from his coma. And that's what worried me. Not knowing when someone is going to attack.

"Zane. Hey wake up!" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked down to Emiko. Oh whoops seems we've made it to school and I never realised. I looked up and notice Jess That with his arm around Jaden tightly, I couldn't help but smile. Young love, hopefully it does conquer all. "Hey. I was talking to you for like five minutes. You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." I sighed. "Listen, at lunch can the two of us talk alone?"

I watched her face get red. "Why?" She murmurs avoiding my gaze.

"Fine if you don't want to," I shrugged.

"N-no it's okay," She stuttered grabbing my arm. "I'll meet you at lunch, by the stairs on the third floor. No one goes there."

"Sure." I blushed walking off with Atticus who had a huge grin on his face. "It's not what you think."

"Aah come on it's totally what I think," he said elbowing my side.

"I'm asking about the Kaiba land incident," I answered bluntly earning a confused look from Atticus. "I think that maybe Sy and I were involved."

"How come?"

"Well I overheard mum say something about that day in Kaiba land," I explained as we walked into the classroom. "So I figured maybe Emiko knows something."

"If she doesn't?"

"Then I don't know what to do," I sighed. 

A few hours passed and lunch soon came around the corner. I gulped as o made my way down the unfamiliar stairs towards Emiko who was leaning on the window shelf. "H-hi." She stuttered standing up. "How was class?"

"Oh it's was mainly studying for our up coming entrance exams," I replied.   "So I asked you here for-" damn I've froze up, just ask her. "I want to know more about the Kaiba Land incident."

Emiko's smile soon turned into a scowl. "That! That is why you called me here," she exclaimed sounding disappointed somehow. After a couple of minutes she took a deep breath to calm down. "Fine what do you want to know?"

"Well about the other kids, do you know about them?" I asked bluntly.

"Well I'm not sure," she admitted. "When it happened I think I was too scared to want to remember it. You see that day, whatever happened caused me to lose my own Duel spirit." I was shocked. I don't know much about Duel spirit other then what Jaden has told us about. "My spirit is so special to me and I lost him."

"Perhaps beating Reggie will help you," I said with a smile. "I'm sorry I brought that up, I was just curious because whatever happens we're prepared."
Emiko didn't say anything as she walked past me to walk up the stairs. She stopped half way through before turning around. "Hey after this whole save the world thing," she started with a pout. "Will you see a movie with me?"

"Sure I guess," I smiled walking up the stairs. Her pout turned into a grin. "I mean you'll be a cheap ticket because of your height."

"S-shut up!" She stuttered turning around to keep walking. Suddenly, you could feel the ground shaking beneath us. "Jaden!"

Emiko started to run up the stairs, reaching for the roof top. "Emiko Wait!" I called or trying to reach for her.

Once we reached the roof top we could see Reggie standing there, with some unfamiliar faces. "We've asked nicely," Reggie exclaimed, a black shadow covering us all. "Now we'll take your spirits by force."

I Watched as Jesse was grabbed away by Atticus but Jaden remained still. Emiko ran over to him grabbing his hand. I tried to speak but my voice wouldn't come out. She tried to drag him away all the time Jesse screaming for him. "Jaden move it!" I suddenly screamed running for both of them. I grabbed Emiko's arm, "Hey back to the others, I'll get Jaden!"

"But Zane-" she tried to protest.

"No buts!" I yelled. I could see the tears in her eyes, I looked down, seeing the floor begin to split. I smiled as I grabbed her other arm, pushing her to the others, far from Jaden. Jaden stared at me in horror, "Come on."

I tried to pull him along with me, all the time he was silent. "Not so fast truesdale," Reggie proclaimed. She caused the floor to rise causing us to float above the roof. I could hear Jesse screaming for Jaden all the time. "Be prepared Truesdale, for today is the start of a new era!"

With that everything went black. I'm sorry everyone, I guess I wasn't strong enough.
