"He'll be okay," Banner spoke. "Now, tell me what happened. It was obvious that someone did this on purpose ..."

Bastion nodded his head. "Tanya is here ... I don't how she managed to get back in here after I kicked her out ..."

"Let's not worry about that right now," Banner said, seeing the stressed out look on Bastion's face. This isn't good, the teacher thought. Tanya is a crafty one ... if she managed to get in here ... she must've ...

A light moan came from Chazz's parted lips. He opened his eyes, and the first thing he felt was pain. His head was throbbing, and his ears were still ringing from the smoke alarm. He turned his head, and first thing he saw was Bastion's worried face.

"Are you okay?"

"Do I look okay ..."

"Now there's no reason to get upset," Banner spoke up.

Chazz turned his head and frowned at the dark haired man. "Who are you?" he asked, sounding really irritated.

"Oh, that's easy. I'm professor Banner ... and I'm here to help you ..."

"And what makes you think I need help?" Chazz asked. He looked a little irritated, and a hint of fear was shown in his eyes.

"Now calm down," Bastion reassured, seeing the hint of fear in Chazz's eyes. "Do you not remember what I told you?"

Chazz looked a little annoyed. "Yea. I remember ... but why do you want to help us?"

Tanya tightened her grip on the phone, as she tried to keep her strength from surfacing. "Bastion does have one of the cat-like people ... I tried to use the smoke-alarm technique but that back fired. Also Bastion got Professor Banner on their side ..."

The person on the other end of the line growled. "He better not betray us ...!"

"Then what should I do?" Tanya asked.

"I'll call you back, after I talk to Banner ..."

Tanya nodded her head and put her phone away. She looked at the window to the second floor. You better not betray us, she thought.

"It's okay," Jaden reassured Syrus. "It's his way of knowing if you're friendly or not ..."

The blue haired boy nodded his head. It felt kind of weird to be sniffed at. At the exact moment, Yugi reached to touch Syrus' face. By now, the blue haired boy was slightly red in the face. He was snapped out of this thoughts when Yugi took hold of Syrus' glasses.

Yami was the first to react. He snatched the glasses out of Yugi's hand and slapped it.

Syrus winced inwardly. "It's okay if he wants to wear my glasses. I don't mind."

"Are you sure ..."

The blue haired boy relaxed a little, and smiled. "It's okay by me ..."

Yami nodded his head, and told Yugi that he could wear the glasses. The boy beamed, as Yami placed the glasses on his face.

Yugi wrinkled his nose a little, letting the glasses shift back and forth along the bridge of his nose.

Chazz looked a little annoyed. "Yea. I remember ... but why do you want to help us?"

"A friend of mine is staying there, and he needs to know what's going on ..."

"... And you're using me to get to this person ..."

Banner wrinkled his nose in disqust. "Don't be short to pass judgment," he said sternly. "I was going to go there myself ... but you just happen to bump into my assistant here, and now that we know what's going on ... I'll be able to tell Yami - that is if you'll be willing to take us there. The choice is up to you."

Chazz looked back at Bastion who nodded his head. The dark haired cat-boy looked straight ahead. Chazz closed his eyes, hoping that he wasn't going to regret his choice.

"Alright, I'll take you there. But why would you want Yami? He's just a human that stay's with a retarded cat," Chazz rambled. "And besides .... why would I believe you?"

Chazz finally looked back at Banner to see the sharp look on his face. "You'll find out soon enough. Now we better get going ..."

Bastion got to his feet and walked to the closet. Chazz couldn't help but look at some of the nice things he had. He got to his feet and walked up to look at a white coat that was still wrapped in plastic. The brown haired boy watched Chazz for a moment

"You can have it ..." Bastion spoke up, snapping Chazz out of his thought.

Yami chuckled, telling Yugi that he had to hand the glasses back. He pouted cutely, and handed them back.

"We need to get going," Yami started. He extended his hand out to Syrus. "But I hope we can see each other again," Yami said to Syrus.

"I'll make sure of that," Jaden said. He winked at them.

After breakfast, Jaden and Syrus started on their way toward the blue haired boy's home. On the way Syrus couldn't help but think of what Jaden said. Why would he want to continue to see him?

"Uh ... Jaden ... why do you want to be my friend?"

"Well ..." the brown haired cat-boy started, tapping his chin. "You're cool ... and I really want to be your friend ..."

Syrus looked at him for a moment, quite shocked. Why would Jaden want to be his friend? You're cool ... there had to be a better reason than that! Well you are cute ... Syrus groaned. He never felt like this before.

"Syrus ... are you alright?" Jaden asked, after hearing the blue haired boy groan.

"Yea ... but I don't deserve to have friends if I can't defend my self ..."

Jaden let out a frustrated sigh. He stepped in front of Syrus and knelt down to one knee. He looked into the blue haired boy's eyes.

"You shouldn't let your brother's words intimidate you," Jaden tried to reason with his friend.

"But he's right ..."

"No. He. Is. Not."

Jaden didn't want to be angry at Syrus. The blue haired boy pulled away from the brown haired cat-boy.

"You don't get it! Zane is really smart - there's nothing he can't do, and every girl loves him ... I do love him but ..." Syrus babbled. "no matter how hard I try to impress him ... he just doesn't seem to even notice me ..."

"Then it's decided," Jaden announced. Syrus blinked in confusion. Why would Jaden be grinning? "We'll talk to your brother ..."

"Uh ... Jaden. I don't think that's a good idea ..."
