From Singer to Student

"Excellent. Meet me by the front gate." Chuku went out to the front gate, where a black limo was waiting for him. He watched for Luka at the entrance to the school.

Luka hadn't unpacked at all, and she was unsure as to whether she was coming back. She picked up her bags and headed out the door. She was betting on not coming back.

In a few minutes, Luka made her way to the front gate. She hadn't really gotten to know anyone here, so no one really asked what she was doing. No one really knew she existed.

Except Chuku.

She spotted him standing at the gate, a long black limo parked behind him. A limo! She hadn't ridden in a limousine in forever! well at least it felt that way....it'd really only been a few months. He must be very important if he was riding in a limo.

"I'm here, Mr. Chuku." She smiled up at him as she met him.

Chuku opened the door to the back of the limo and climbed in.

"Get in then. I kinda want to get to the airport soonish. I got my helicopter ready for take off. A helicopter will suffice since it isn't too far away, although it can't be reached by land. The academy used to be private, you see."

Luka paused for a moment as he waited for her. She looked at the limo, then turned half way to look back at the academy. 'Last chance, Luka....are you sure you want to do this?' she thought to herself.

Winged Kuriboh LV10 appeared beside her, wrapping its wings around her, showing its support for whatever she decided. She closed her eyes, as if feeling those wings of support around her. 'Thank you, Winged Kuriboh LV10'

'Do I want to do this?'

"Yes!"

The physical word left her lips before she realized that it had, but she didn't care. She climbed into the limo, seating herself and buckling her belt before closing the door.

The limo went towards the airport, taking it's time.

"Don't worry about your parents. They'll be make known about the transfer soon enough. Now then, there's one thing I want to ask you. Which dorm do you want to be in? You have a choice between Amber Eraser, Green Dreadroot, and Black Avatar. Black Avatar is the highest rank. The higher the rank, the more privileges you have. At the same time though, the higher ranks are expected to carry their own kind of load, since responsibility comes with being a higher ranked member. It's not like duel academy though; the higher-ups don't pick on the lower-dorms. So what would you like to be? And don't worry; we made sure our uniforms colors were nice."

"Umm....well...." Luka thought about the options. She very much wanted to be top rank, but she wasn't sure she could be strong enough for that. "I think I'd like to start in Amber Eraser. I'm not a strong duelist, and I'm afraid I'll fail too quickly in the higher dorms." She nodded and looked at Chuku. "I can always move up later, can't I?"

"Alright then." Chuku handed her a package of a girl uniform. It was a strange pale amber in color. *Interesting. I would have expected her to pick green Dreadroot at least.* The limo arrived at the airport, where a helicopter was waiting. Chuku got out of the limo and started heading towards it.

"Thank you." Luka accepted the uniform and held onto it as she climbed out of the car. On the landing pad rested a sleek helicopter, the blades starting to turn as she stepped out. She could feel excitement building in her, and she giggled softly as she ran to keep up with Chuku. "I've never ridden in a helicopter before!" Someone opened the door for her and she jumped in and bounced lightly on her seat. This was going to be so fun!

The helicopter took off. It was headed towards the ocean.

"How long could you see duel spirits?"

Luka looked at him, slight confusion and amazement in her eyes. How did he know she could see duel spirits. "Uh...I...um...well, i suppose I've always been able to see them...but mostly its just Winged Kuriboh LV10. He kinda showed up during my very first duel when i was 6...been my best friend ever since!" She looked out the window and down at the ocean they were flying over. "I've seen others...but alot of times, if they belong to someone and they find out that I can see them, they disappear. It's weird, but I try not to let it bother me."

"I suppose you haven't gotten the hang of it yet. In time you should be able to see all of them at will." An island with a huge wall in the middle of it that completely covered whatever was inside of it. Soon, a hanger with vehicles in it could be seen, as well as a helipad.

"We're almost there now."

The excitement was growing in her chest. She was coming to her second new school in the same day, but this one showed more promise for her. She looked out the window again, spotting the walled-off island in the distance. "Why does it look like a mix between a city and a high-security prison?" she asked with pure curiosity.

"Like I said, this island used to private a long time ago. Back in the day, one family owned the island, and didn't really like others coming in and learning their secrets. That family produced a lot of powerful duelists. The headmaster of the academy is a descendent of that family. Although recently the public has been allowed to come."

The helicopter touched down, and Chuku got out.
