A Wolf in Red Clothing

[High Priest Ali]

(This is sorta my late little Halloween tribute thing. I made a new character, and didn't intend on making him a werewolf until I compiled his deck, which is mostly wolves, and then I had a perfect name and everything and it went so well with Halloween, it just sorta stuck. So, may I introduce to you Jeremy Blake...)

Were-Cerebus exploded into a thousand pixels. The young boy watched his life point count drop to zero. The full moon over his head dimmed and disappeared along with the other holograms.
"Pathetic," Crowler sneered at the boy, "But since you've already enrolled, we must put you somewhere. Go see Professor Banner. He will fit you for a blazer. You'll follow him back to the Slifer dorm."

The brown-haired boy nodded. Crowler watched him walk out. There was something unnerving about that boy. He was a very odd little duck. So quiet, and so calm.
The boy met his new teacher, Banner, and followed him down the hall.

"From what I saw," Professor Banner smiled at the boy, "I believed you fought very well."
The boy nodded. "Thank you." he said flatly.
"Some interesting cards," Banner continued, "The Full Moon is very rare."
Another nod.
"And werewolves...any particular reason?"

The boy was silent. Banner ceased conversation then. This young man was obviously not a conversationalist. And it was probably best not to provoke him. Instead he got him his blazer and continued to lead him down the hill to the Slifer dorm.

As usual, the dining room was complete chaos. When they entered, Banner noticed a look of mild shock register on the boy's face. But he remained silent, unquestioning, passive.
"Children!" Banner shouted above the uproar, "Please! Settle down! Jaden, get off the chair. Chazz! Give that back to Syrus, right now!"

Slowly the room calmed and everyone returned to their seats, some slighty more irritated than they had been an hour ago.
"Chazz started it..." someone in the back mumbled.
"Did not!" Chazz shouted, "C'mere, Todd, I'll-"
"Chazz, everyone, that is enough," Banner said. They all quieted. But Chazz still seemed vengeful.

Leaving them alone all in one room together was never a good idea of Banner's. They always seemed to get into trouble while he was gone. And of course, leave it to Chazz Princeton to start something. He should get a babysitter next time he went to watch an enrollment duel.

"Class, I would like you to meet our newest dorm member," he turned and nodded to the boy with the moon around his neck. The grey-eyed kid stepped forward and stared uninterested at the rest of the class.
"Children, this is Jeremy Blake," Banner said, "Our new Slifer red."

(Now, see, Banner already knows what he is. He's really into the supernatural and all that so I figure he's already got it figured out. And God knows Chazz the Spazz is gonna be suspicious of a kid like this so he starts in with a whole what-if-he's-a-monster-sent-to-eat-us-all-in-our-sleep conspiracy theory and then he sets out to prove it but comes up only half right...)

(Sorry, didn't mean for his intro to be that long... ^^

((Wait!! I wanna reply first!!))

[Royal Vizier Kris]

(Sorry Kay lol)

"Kaden!"
Upon hearing his name, Kaden looked away from his food. His first thought was whoever was calling his name was inside the dining room. But he couldnt' see anyone, which led him to face Banner and the new kid. He looked passed them and spotted two girls standing by the dining room. They both grinned, blew him a kiss, waved, and giggled as they made their way away from the dining room and back to their dorm which was not to far away from the Slifer Red Dorm.
Kaden smiled halfheartedly as the girls passed. Finally, he looked back down at his food, paying very little attention to the new student. To him, it wasn't such a big deal that they had a new student. It was just another person to try to fit into their already small dorm. Though the dorm room problem wasn't much of an issue for Kaden, because of the fact he was now sharing a room by himself due to the fact that his other dorm partners move up to the next dorm. 'Great...' Kaden thought to himself. With his luck he would end up with another roommate. Hopefully this kids wasn't as bad as his other roommates.
"Kaden!"
Again, the teen looked up to find a group of girls walking passed the dining room. He flashed them a smile, mouthing to the tall blond girl 'call me' and then waved to them, as they walked by. Yeah, it was true, he had apparently become pupular (at least to some of the girls in their dorm, and those outside the dorm). It wasn't the fact that his dueling was great (if it was great he would've ended up in Ra Yellow...Or Obelisk Blue) but mostly due to the fact that he had earned a reputation. Out of almost (almost being the keyword) everyone in his dorm (and probably a few outside of the dorm) he seemed to be the one who was sent to Chancellor Sheppard's office the most...Mostly due to his rebillion. Yes, he was a rebel. Not one of those that refuses to do everything and causes some kind of fight though.
So he hadn't gotten his reputation for the right reasons, but as long as he had girls who thought of him as some kind of god, he was satisfied.
As the girls disappeared from view, Kaden finally turned his attention to Banner and the new student. His arms folded across his chest.

(Kaden's profile is up to so you guys can go look at him.)

[Pharaoh Kay]

Eric looked up from his book and smiled at the new boy. He looked around at all the other people eating dinner...and throwing it, unfortunantly. He spotted Kaden. Placing his bookmark in the middle of his book, he walked over to Kaden. Being as tall as he is, he towered over many of the other students, if not all of them.

He nodded to the girls blowing kisses at him and put a hand on Kaden's shoulder. "Being a bit too popular today are we? My, my. I'm getting jealous." he said in his monotone (sp?) voice. He sat down by the other boy and eyed the new kid. "He looks about as weird as you did your first day here. Don't you think?" he asked, chuckling.

[Pharaoh Kay]

((Yay! Shortness!))

[High Priest Ali]

(You are a dumbass! XD)

[High Priest Ali]

(Oh crap, I hate Kaden already...)

"The only thing now," Banner said, loooking down at Jeremy, "Is to find you a roomate. Now, let's see..."

He scanned the room of students. At first, no one volunteered, not even Jaden and Syrus. His gaze landed on Kaden. A sharp look from the boy said 'Not a chance...'

Banner turned his attention to Chazz. He was, as usual, sitting on one of the tables instead of at it, arms crossed, looking like an attitude waiting to happen. "Why you lookin at me?!" he snapped. It was pretty clear Chazz wasn't looking for any inductees to his room either.

Eric shook his head over the top of his book.

Todd looked away.

Several other students protested or pretended to ignore Banner and the new kid. Let's face it, this guy was weird. Everyone could feel it.

"Well, perhaps we'll worry about that later..." Banner said when he'd expended every available dorm. "Just take a seat for now, Jeremy." Jeremy nodded and walked to the back of the room. He sat near the window and stared nervously at the sky, tugging at a necklace around his neck.

"Why won't you let him stay with you?" Jaden asked Chazz.
"I don't like him." Chazz said simply, staring hard at the new boy in the corner.
"How come?" Syrus asked, "You've never met him."
"I just don't like him." Chazz repeated, shaking his head.
"You're a piece of work, Princeton," Sarge muttered.

[High Priest Ali]

(Yes, but he's MY piece of work! ;D)

[Royal Vizier Kris]

(You can't hate somebody you don't even know ;D)

Kaden let out a sigh of relief. Hopefully he wouldn't get stuck with the new kid. He seemed to be a weird kid already. Finally, he turned and looked at Eric, glaring at the boy, "I didn't look weird. Not as weird as he is at least..." he muttered. Finally, he turned his attention to the boy sitting by himself.
There was something about the kid...Perhaps his appearance...No, not that. Perhaps the way he acted...Possibly. But there was something about the kid that made himweird. But what was it? It was like he couldn't figure it out. Which was odd, Kaden was usually the type who could figure out any puzzle. Solve any mystery, like CSI. Back at home his parents would watch that show. Within the first twenty minutes he could tell who did it and what happened. And sure enough, his predictions were right. This seemed to annoy his parents a lot because after the first week, they gave up on ever having Kaden watch a mystory show with them anymore.
But this time, Kaden couldn't figure it out. He couldn't think of any reason why this boy seemed different from all of the others. He couldn't think of any reason why this boy was weirder then everyone else he had known. But there was something about him...
Kaden turned away from the boy after realizing he was staring at him. He looked back down at his food but didn't take a bite.

(You should have them be roommates. Then later Chazz and Jeremy could be roommatrs or something...)

[High Priest Ali]

(Tell that to Chazz and me. ;D And I'm still working on where to put him...I figure he'll at least start off with Jaden's crew...)

[Pharaoh Kay]

"Oh, be nice to him, Kaden. I don't remember you having a very good start of either. Or, have we forogtten the maccaroni incident? That one went in the history books you know." he said chucking. Finally, he looked over to the boy and waved slowly, like you do when you don't care and only move your hand about two times before you drop it. He looked back at Kaden. "Are you going to finish that?" he asked, pointing to his buttered roll.

[High Priest Ali]

(lol Eric on the other hand I LOVE! XD)

Jeremy stared at the boy but didn't bother to wave back. He just fingered the pendant around his neck. It was growing now. Soon it would be full. The moon outside was bright.

Soon...very soon...

SCENE CHANGE

"I know why he's so weird," Chazz declared the next morning. He took his spot up on top of the breakfast table.
"Who?" Jaden asked.
"The new kid, remember?" Chazz said, "Ba-duh! I was going through some of Banner's whacked out alchemy books and I found something that sounded like that Jeremy kid."

Chazz tossed a piece of paper on the table. It was old and wrinkled, the dark brown of ancient parchment. One edge was ripped. Chazz has taken it out of Banner's book altogether! At the top of the page were some symbols in another language. The skipped over that because they couldn't read it. Below that were some pictures. These made more sense.

One was of a man. It was very detailed, very real. Beside that was an equally lifelike drawing of a wolf. Below was a diagram that melded the two together. And at the very bottom of the page was a grotesque monster with the body of a man and the snarling head of a wolf, claws curling down from the human fingers and a tail sprouted out behind.

"He's a-" Chazz started excitedly.
"No," Jaden said, "Chazz, do yourself a favor and put it out of your head before it gets too far in. Jeremy isn't a werewolf."
"Sure he is!" Chazz said, "Look! Look right here."

Chazz flipped the page over and on this side were a few more symbols and then some scrawled writing in English. Different descriptions and accountings from humans who'd seen these werewolves.
"This stuff here tells you how to spot a werewolf," Chazz said, pointing to a list in the corner of the page. "This is the things they do, or what they can look like. Jeremy already fits the physical description. Young, lean, graceful."
"Congratulations," Sarge muttered, "You just described every gay man in the world...does this have a point Chazz?"

Chazz glared mometarilly. Jaden and Syrus snickered. Chazz sighed and snatched the paper off the table. He jumped down and stalked off.
"Fine," he called over his shoulder, "If you won't believe me, I'll find proof myself..."

[Royal Vizier Kris]

Kaden smirked, leaning against a nearby wall overhearing the whole conversation. When Chazz walked away from the group, the ten walked away from the wall he had been by. He grabbed a plate of food and sat down at a table near where Jaden and the others were. His mind went back to what Chazz said.

For all anyone knew, Chazz was coming up with some kind of fairytale...He'd been known to do that after all. But still...Kaden help but think the kid seemed a bit strange. The whole quietness and the pendent thing seemed a bit strange to him.

Then again, everyone did some strange things when they were new. Maybe it was part of a ritual. For all anyone knew, Jeremy could've belonged to some really religious group...Or worst of all...A cult!

Kaden shook his head. The idea of the kid belonging to some cult seemed almost impssible to believe. But the really religous idea seemed almost believable.

Maybe in a few days the kid would stop acting weird, and then maybe Chazz would drop the whole thing.
