Jaden's POV

We were all back in the infirmary in record time. When Jesse and I walked in, we were the last ones. We stood in the front of the door, after I closed it. Everyone was back in their seats. Yugi was sitting on the stool that Jesse was in all of last night. However, Yugi moved the stool to the head of Mel's bed and was leaning against the wall with his legs crossed; he was balancing on the back two legs and looking through his deck. Marron was stretched across Mel's chest, his head on his paws. Axel leaned forward in the seat. Yugi heard the shifting of Axel and looked over his deck at him.

"Why, exactly, did we need to go and get our decks and duel disks?" Axel asked. Yugi stared at Axel for another moment before returning his focus to his deck.

"Just a precaution," Yugi answered. Jim leaned back against the couch he was sitting in and propped his feet on the arm of the chair in front of him; Chazz glared at him, as it was his chair. Chazz shoved Jim's feet off of his chair before turning to look at Yugi.

"A precaution for what?" Chazz demanded. Yugi kept his gaze on his deck.

"You'll see once we get there," Yugi answered plainly. Chazz narrowed his eyes at Yugi. I spoke up before Chazz could say or do anything.

"Where, exactly, are we going?" I asked. Yugi slid his eyes from his deck to look at me. His eyes shifted to Jesse for a split second before finally looking back at his deck.

"We're taking Mel to the only person who can save her," Yugi answered. I sighed.

"That's not what I asked," I said. Yugi chuckled and nodded.

"I know, but if I told you where we were going, you'd probably have me committed," Yugi answered. I pulled my eyebrows together in confusion.

"Committed?" I questioned. Jesse sighed next to me. Chazz whipped his head in my direction to glare at me.

"It means to put you in an insane asylum, the funny farm, the coo-koo bin! I think we should have you committed slacker!" Chazz snarled. Blair reached up and smacked Chazz on the back of the head with a magazine. Chazz turned his glare on her; Blair looked at him with one of her own. There was a collective sigh in the room.

"Changing the subject before it gets any uglier," Jim said. Blair and Chazz continued to glare at each other. Jim sighed again, but continued. He looked at Yugi, who was looking at him. "How are we going to take Mel to the only person who can save her, if taking her off the island will kill her?" Jim asked. Yugi smirked and chuckled again.

"We're not taking Mel off the island," Yugi answered. Jesse looked at Yugi perplexed.

"Are you bringing them here?" Jesse asked. Yugi looked at him and shook his head.

"They can't leave their home," Yugi answered. Adrian glared at Yugi.

"Would you quit speaking in riddles!" Adrian ordered. Yugi looked at him.

"One, I'm not speaking in riddles. Two, if you thought that was speaking in riddles, then there is no way you could have survived…never mind," Yugi said, waving his hand in the air. "I'm getting side-tracked. The point is, we're not taking Mel off of the island and we're not bringing the person who can save her here," Yugi said. Michael looked at Yugi.

"Then what are we going to do?" Michael asked. Marron stood up and turned to look at Michael.

We're going to use the gateway, Marron answered. That's the only way to the person who can save Mel anyway, Marron continued. I pulled my eyebrows together in confusion.

"I'm still confused," I said. Yugi look at me and smiled. Honestly, I was waiting for Chazz to make a smart remark. When I looked at him out of the corner of my eye, I had to swallow a laugh that bubbled to my lips. Blair had her magazine tightly wound and was waiting for Chazz to make a remark. Chazz, for once, kept his mouth shut.

"Don't worry, Jaden. Everything will become clear soon," Yugi assured. Yugi then dropped his hands and looked around the room. Yugi pursed his lips. "However, not everyone can come," Yugi said. Blair looked at him confused, her magazine falling into her lap.

"What do you mean?" Blair asked. Yugi shook his head.

"There are nineteen people. That simply won't work," Yugi answered, though he sounded closer to murmuring to himself. Mark sighed and stood up.

"My classroom is close to being finished so I need to return to HereRosé to prepare for classes," mark said. Atticus stood up just after Mark finished speaking.

"I'm afraid the pro leagues are simply begging for me to return!" Atticus said. Alexis buried her face in her hands as the rest of us simply sweat dropped. Yugi continued to run his thumb over his lips in a thinking manner.

That's still seventeen people, Marron pointed out. Yugi nodded.

"I know," Yugi answered. Adrian scowled at the two of them.

"What's the big deal? It's only seventeen people!" Adrian said exasperated. Yugi ignored him. Yugi's gaze looked around the room. Mindy and Jasmine sighed.

"We can hang back," Mindy said, gesturing to both her and Jasmine. Jasmine nodded in agreement.

"Totally! I mean, we wouldn't be that much help anyway, would we?" Jasmine asked. Yugi looked at her.

"That's not the reason. You most certainly could be of assistance, it's just that the less people we take, the easier it will be to go see her," Yugi explained. Jasmine nodded. A horn sounded in the distance. Mark and Atticus looked at the door.

"That would be our signal to ship out," Mark said. He and Atticus looked back at us.

"Good luck," Atticus wished us. He then hurried out the door. Mark looked directly at Yugi.

"Be careful," Mark said. I could hear what he really meant behind those words. 'I sure as hell hope you know what you're doing, Yugi.' Yugi nodded.

"We will, Mark. Don't worry," Yugi said. 'I do know.' Mark nodded, sighed, and left the room. When Mark left the room, Yugi stood up, sliding his deck into his deck box. Yugi then bent down and picked up a black backpack; he slipped it on. The straps are loose so the bag dropped down his back. Once Yugi was sure the backpack was in place, he looked at Jesse and called him over. Jesse, obviously confused, went over to Yugi.

Jesse's POV

When I reached Yugi, I finally noticed that Mel wasn't attached to any equipment. I looked up at Yugi; he was studying me carefully.

"Are you sure Mel should be off of the equipment?" I asked. Yugi placed his hand on my shoulder and forced me down on the edge of the bed. I looked up at him confused. Yugi reached down and gently wrapped his hands around Mel's shoulders and pulled her up into a seated position. His hand slid down her back to help support her.

"We're not taking it all with us," Yugi answered my question. Yugi then quickly shifted Mel and pulled her onto my back, locking her arms around my neck. Mel's head lolled to the side and fell with the crown of her head pressed against my neck.

"What are you doing?" I asked Yugi as he continued to manipulate Mel's arms so they would stay around my neck. He looked me in the eye.

"Someone has to carry Mel," Yugi answered. I nodded.

"Why me?" I asked.

"Why not you?" Yugi countered. "Do you not want to carry Mel?" Yugi asked, cocking one of his eyebrows.

"That's not it!" I blurted quickly, "I don't mind at all," I added. Yugi smirked at me.

"Then there really is no need to argue," Yugi answered. I sighed and stood up, wrapping my arms around Mel's legs. Yugi kept his hand on the small of Mel's back until he was sure I had her.

"Okay," Alexis said loudly, drawing attention from everyone. Yugi and I looked at her. She was standing next to Jaden, very close to his side I might add. I looked at Jaden; he didn't appear to notice Alexis' close proximity. At least, I thought so. Jaden had an almost invisible smirk on his face. I resisted the urge to blurt something out. Jaden must have felt my gaze, because he turned and looked at me. When I smiled at him, he scowled. I chuckled; Jaden knew the meaning behind the smile.

"What is it, Alexis?" Yugi asked. Alexis looked at him.

"We're all going to see this person you say can help Mel, tonight if I'm not mistaken," Alexis said.

"That's correct," Yugi answered wary.

"And we'll be missing classes for the next few days."

"At least that, two weeks top."

"Uh, huh. Now that that's all cleared up, here's my question. Does Chancellor Sheppard know we're leaving with Mel?" Alexis asked. Yugi sweat dropped and rubbed the back of his head.

"Ahh…not exactly," Yugi answered. He dropped his arm. "We better hurry up and get out of here before he finds out." With that, Yugi ran out the door with Marron at his heels. We all sweat dropped but ran off after them into the night, leaving Jasmine and Mindy in the infirmary.

Jaden's POV

Everyone was standing outside the bathhouse. Which is guys' only by the way. Blair and Alexis had slight blushes on their faces. We guys were arguing over who had to make sure the coast was clear. Why are we arguing? I have no idea.

"You go check, Chazz," Bastion ordered. Chazz glared at him.

"I'm a Princeton! We don't check public bathhouses!" Chazz snarled. Jesse and I both sighed. Jim rolled his eye (his other one was covered with a white bandage). Adrian looked at Chazz in disgust. Axel just stayed outside the violent circle. Syrus and Hassleberry were arguing about the same thing, but it only involved them. I looked at Yugi; he was looking at his watch. I could that that he wasn't about to step in.

The arguing continued for another minute before Marron had enough. He let out an annoyed huff and walked right into the house. We all stared at the door, flabbergasted.

The coast is clear, Marron called. We all looked at each other, shrugged, and walked in. Marron was sitting next to the spot where the gateway is. We walked over to him.

"Okay, we're here, so how are we going to get through?" Jim asked. We at looked at Yugi, who shrugged and looked down at Marron. We looked down at Marron; he was scratching behind his ear.

"Marron!" Yugi snapped. Marron looked up at Yugi and sweat dropped.

Ahhh…I actually don't exactly know how to get through the gateway, Marron confessed. We all stared at him.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Chazz yelled at Marron. "How do you not know?" Chazz demanded. Marron flinched back, his ears flattening against his head. A small whimper escaped his muzzle. Blair smacked Chazz on the back of the head. Chazz whipped around to glare at her; she was glaring at him.

"Don't yell at Marron! It's not like you know how to get through either!" Blair snapped.

"It's his own world! I assumed he'd be able to get back!" Chazz shot back.

"Obviously not!"

"Obviously!"

Chazz and Blair began to scream at each other. Everyone sighed and tried to shut them up. Yugi was talking to Marron.

Kuri kur! Winged Kuriboh called. I turned my head to see him perched on my shoulder.

'Are you sure that's going to work?' I asked in thought. Winged Kuriboh closed his eyes and chirped happily. I looked at the water and then back at Kuriboh. He was looking at me.

Kur kuur kuri, (I'll go first if you're scared) Winged Kuriboh offered. I chuckled and shook my head no. Winged Kuriboh ignored me anyway and flew off toward the water; he dove in it, not making so much as a sound but I felt that he was no longer on my plane of existence. I coked my eyebrows.

'Huh…I guess he was sure.'

Jesse's POV

"Okay guys, shut up. You're not helping the situation at all!" Alexis snarled. Chazz shut up instantly. Blair did to, but only because her opponent shut up first.

"Well, how are we getting through?" Syrus asked. I turned my head to ask Jaden, but he wasn't there anymore. I blinked and looked around.

"Where'd Jay go?" I asked. Everyone stopped talking and looked where he was just standing, which was right next to me.

"He was there just a minute ago," Aster said. I nodded and opened my mouth to say something when air cut across my face. I saw the blur of a person as they ran past me at an incredibly fast speed.

"Jay!" I gasped. I looked and sure enough, it's Jaden. He ran straight past everyone and jumped into the water. He pulled his legs up and hugged them to his chest, doing a cannon ball.

"BANZII!" Jaden yelled. Everyone gasped and threw their arms up in protection. Jaden disappeared into the water, but didn't splash. Instead, he made a kind of "plop" sound. Everyone blinked at the water. Yugi looked down at Marron. Marron's jaw was slack.

"Jumping could always work," Yugi said. Marron composed himself and nodded.

Agreed, he said. Yugi looked at everyone. Adrian looked at him.

"So we just…jump?" Adrian asked. Yugi nodded. Everyone looked at each other and just shrugged. Everyone jumped into the water; I was the last one. I shifted Mel, pulling her over my shoulder and into my arms. I cradled her against my chest, took a deep breath, and jumped into the water. There was a rush of freezing water around me. Then, suddenly, everything went black.
