The Curse of the Card Snatchers

Chapter One: The Journey Begans....

Once upon a time there was a small boy in his teens with tale blue hair and silvert blue eyes hidden behind small full moon glasses. This boys name is Syrus Truesdale and he lived with his mother and father in Domino City.

His father travles around the world for impotant bussiness while hi mother runs a magazine called 'Ying-Yang Your Life' and writes poetry,though she never publishes them. She would read them to her sons for critisim.

Syrus also had a older brother named Zane. Zane lived on a Island to attened Duel Academy, a special school who would only allow the best of the best duelers to attened. And he was on his way to the boat that would send him to D.A.

Right now Syrus was in the back seat of the families limousine with his mother, Mrs. Truesdale as they drove to the docks to send him off to Duel Academy.

This was going to be his first year and he was a little nervous. His mother, seeing his uneasyness held his hand.

"Don't worry dear," Mrs. Trusedale said. She was a beautful women of 34 with tale blue hair and kind blue eyes. She smiled "You'll have a wonderful time. Maybe even bring back a nice younge man, hmm?"

Syrus blushed as his mother giggled at the idea.

A couple of months ago Syrus confessed that he was actually gay and ever since than his mother tried to hook him up with the elligable gay boys in the hundred thousand yard radias.

*"It's like having the daughter I always wanted," She said one day while brushing her sons hair. "Were going to find the perfect man for you dear, don't you worry."*

Syrus sighed as he looked out the window. He had gotten the letter of acceptance two weeks ago and found that he would be in the Slifer Red dorms. Slifer Red, the lowest level in Duel Academy. Slifer wasn't even a low rated card. It was the strongest god card there was; aside of the Winged Dragon of Ra.

(A/N. Mistress Ookami: Just my opinion people! Kiba never did like S.S.D. He needs to grow up. So what if Yugi kicks his ass? It's not a big deal. He's acts like such a baby sometimes.

Kiba: What was that Wolf?

Mistress Ookami: Oh! Nothing! Nothing at all! *Waves hands back and forth and shacking head*

Kiba: *Glares at Mistress Ookami* You said something....

Mistress Ookami: Uhmmm...0.0; Hey, is that Joey in nothing but a dog collar? *Points behind Kiba*

Kiba: Where? Where? *Looks around*

Mistress Ookami: Only in you peverted mind suka! *Flees*

Kiba: *Roars in rage like a dragon. Looks at audiencens* Well, what are you waiting for an invetation? READ THE STORY! *Runs after Mistress Ookami* Get back here you! )

The limo came to a stop at the docks entrance. They got out of the car to see kids making their way to a huge white boat with the word 'Duel Academy' written on the side.

Mrs. Truesdale hugged her son tightly and kissed his cheek while the driver unloaded his bags and loaded them on the boat.

"Goodbye Syrus," She said."Be good and try to have a good time. Say 'hi' to Zane for me if you see him. Here this is for you. Your father wanted me to give to you since he couldn't make it."

She handed him a chocker necklace with a onyx wolf with ruby eyes entwined with a serpent-like dragon that was pearl with sapphire eyes. She bent down on one knee and placed it delicatly on his neck. (A/N. Its like the one on his neck but it's a deep red.)

"There," She stood and smiled."It looks beautiful on you. Have a good time."

Syrus smiled back.

"I will mom. Tell dad thank you. Love you." Syrus picked up his massenger bag and made his way to the boat.

Syrus climbed the stairs while shifften his bag from arm to arm. He was so nervous but excited at the same time. He couldn't wait till he made some new friends.

When he reached the top of the stairs he stopped in front of a tall thin man in his thirties with a black suite, slick black hair and sunglasses hiding his eyes. The man also had a clipboard and a pen in his hands.

"Name?" The man asked.

"Er...Syrus Truesdale." Syrus sqeaked out. He blushed wen he heard snickering behind him.

The man paid no attention to it as he looked at his clipboard. He nodded his head after a few mintues and handed Syrus a gold keycard.

"Your room number is 592." He said."One of your roommates should be there. Go straight ahead and go up stairway 5, then go left."

"Thank you," Syrus said as he passed the man and made his way over stairway 5.

After about fifteen minutes of being lost Syrus finally found room 592. He swiped the keycard and opened the door.

The room was a typical ship bedroom but with a T.V and a bathroom. On one of the beds a figure was asleep under the covers. He was a tall, rotund teen with a big nose and bushy hair.(A/N: One guess.)

Syrus walked over to the sleeping boy and poked him.

"Uhm e-exuse me."

The boy opened one of his beady eyes and yawned.

"What do you want?" He asked nastyly.

"A-are you my roommate?"

"Guess so. My names Chummly.Yours?"

"Syrus."

Chummly grunnted and turned over; already fast asleep.

Syrus sighed as he want over to the only bunk bed in the room and zipped open his bag. He pulled out a copy of 'Boy meets Boy' (A/N:Loved that book. It was funny.;) ) and his ipod. He turned it on just as the boat sounded off and opened his book.

Forty minutes later the door opens, and a tall younge man with black hair and silver eyes with a Obelisk blue trench coat walked in. He looked around to see Chummly still asleep and Syrus too engross in his book to notice him.

"Hello? Excuse me?"

They still didn't notice him so, he slamed the door; making both boys jump.

"Hey what gives?" Chummly demanded, rubbing his eyes.

"Is this room 592?" The boy asked.

"Yeah. What of it?"

"I'm your roommate. My name is Chazz Princeton. Whats yours?"

"I'm Syrus and thats Chummly." Syrus pointed to hiself and Chummly who was already asleep.

Chazz nodded his head and went up to the bed over Syrus, not saying another word.

Syrus sighed as he went back to Noah's art studio as he put 'Wise Man' on repeat.

'This is going to be one boring trip,' was he last thought before he got lost in the book.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Later that night Syrus awoke to a faint sound. It sounded like growling but he wasn't so sure.

He groped the nightstand and put them on. He looked over at the nightstand to read the time.Two o' clock the digital clock displayed, it's erriy red glow the only beakon in the drakness.

Then he heard it agian. The growling of something really huge.

At first Syrus thought it was one of his roommates stomachs.

(A/N: Mistress Ookami: How many think it's Chummy? A show of hands please. Well you'd be-

Kiba: *looks arournd the room, spots Mistress Ookami and stalks tworads her* There you are. I want a word with you.

Mistress Ookami: Oh hi, Kiba. *laughs nervously. Looks for a way out. Sees window*

Kiba: Oh no you don't! *trys to grab Mistress Ookami but wasn't quik enough and watches her run off. He sticks his head out the window.* Dammit! You can't run forever Mistress. You just made a great enemy! *Kiba looks at audinces and blushies lightly.* *Coughs* Back to 'The Curse of the Card Snatchers'. *Walks off*)

But after a few moments Syrus curiosity got the best of him and decided to investagate. Syrus quickly yet quietly got out of bed and grabbed his keycard off the nightstand.

He tip-toed passed both bunks and emerged out of his room to the dimmly lite hall.

The growling increased in volume as Syrus went down the fifth and third stairway.Suddenly, a blood curdling scream pirced the silence. Syrus jumped slightly and ran over to the room at the end of the hallway.

When he got there he saw that the door was ajar and he could just make out two shadows in seapert parts of the room. He peeked through the crack of the door and inwordly gasped.

Inside the room was a girl in her mid-teens with short brown hair and hazle eyes in the cornor of the looking scared out of her mind. Syrus didn't blame her. In the room was a wolf.

The wolf was a deep forset dirt color with one black paw and a charcol dip tail. The animal was eight feet tall on all fours and was searching for something the way it was sniffing around. The wolf put its head in the girls pillow and moving it around. The girl named Sharlet finally looked over to Syrus, her brown eye pleading for help.

"Help me," She mouthed.

The animal meanwhile pulled his head out of the pillow with a duel monster deck in its muzzle. It dropped the deck and sniffed the now scattered pile. Syrus meet Sharlet's eyes agian and she looked devasted. She frowned at the boy as he slowly opened the door wider.

"Help me," She repeated sternly as the beast barked and picked up one lone card.

The beast suddenly sniffed the air and turned its head sharply tworads the door. Syrus backed up a little as the wolfs black eyes spotted him. The wolf grolwed at the uninvated introuuder. It got into a pouncing stance and jumped at the door. Syrus yelped as he leeped out of the way and ran down the corridor. He heared the animal roar as as it sprinted after him.

He ran faster as he felt the brown beast avanced upon him.

"It's...times like this...that I...wished I had longer legs," He panted as he rounded a conor and went down a flight of stairs and kept on running. The wolf jumped the stairs and was gaining on his tail.

He ran over to the closet door and opened it. It was a broom closet filled with only two brooms and a mop. Not caring about the status of its occupents, Syrus went into the closet and closed the door just as the wolf leeped mid air. The wolf pounced at the door; straching, bitting, growling, and barking. Syrus backed up further in the cramped broom closet, hearing the sound of the latches starting to give way to the beast large form. He stayed at on conor of the cramped space with the mop in hands, ready to fight for his life.

Suddenly, as if it never happened there was a erriy silence that screamed 'Your about to be killed. Theres no escape.', when he heard movement by the door agian. Syrus got into a fighting stance with the mop in his hands when the door opened.

"Are you alright?"

Syrus put the mop down and sighed in relife,he looked up at his savior. His savior was a teenage boy that was medium highet with brown hair and loving brown eyes smiling at him. He had a flashlight in his hand that wasn't holding the door.

"I heard scratching and barking...and when I saw that wolf...are you okay?"

"Uhm, yeah I guess." Syrus got out of the closet and smiled at the stranger,

"Thank you. I'm Syrus," Syrus held out his hand.

"Jaden," Jaden shook Sryus' hand."Nice to meet you Syrus."

Jaden closed the door behind Syrus and looked back at him with concern.

"Are you sure your alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine Jaden," Syrus smiled shyly."No need to worry."

"If you say so.You want me to walk you to your room just incase?" Jaden asked.

Syrus thought about it. He didn't want to run into the wolf agian, and with someone with him he atleast had some help with brining it down, so he nodded his head and started walking down the hall with Jaden.

"So what room are you in?" Jaden asked as they went up stairway four.

"592"

"No kidding," He smile widen. "I'm right across from you. Room 590, small word."

"Yeah. Small." He laughed nervosely.

Jaden and Syrus walked the rest of the way back to their rooms; talking about themselves to eachother and duel monster cards. Soon they were in front of Syrus' door. He swiped his key through the lock. It beeped and the door opened automaticaly.

"What level are you?" Jaden asked suddenly."You know, dorm wise."

Syrus blinked a minute before answering.

"Level? Oh, Slifer."

Jadens smile widened. "No kidding, so am I. It was like we were destined to meet Sy."

Syrus smiled kindly and nodded politley. He enter his room and looked back at Jaden.

"I guess so. Night Jaden."

"Night Sy."

Syrus closed the door and leaned agianst it. He sighed. He was thanking the gods that Jaden was there to find him, or else he would've been dog meat, literally. But the whole time he was walking with him, Jaden would give these weird looks and kept 'accidently' bump into him.

'He couldn't possibly...no, he dosen't like me that way,' Syrus shook his head.He walked over to his bed and placed his glasses on the nightstand.'If he is, I don't see how it could work out. Were just to driffrent. We're better off as friends.'

Syrus laid down oon his bed for the second time that night, his mind replaying the events that happend not less than 48 hours ago. He hoped the girl was allright and someone found that wolf. It still had the card it picked up before he tried to attack him.

'Hopefully she got it back and that animal was locked up in a cage.'

With that last thought Syrus yawned and curled up in his bed, already fast asleep. Unfortantly he was unaware of a pare of yellow eyes watching him through the window before vanishing in the fog.
