Lanetli

February 1st: 2:54 am

"My legs hurt… I…I can't move, Why can't I move? What happened? I can't see too, where on earth am I? Let's see if I can open my eyes…" Slowly, and difficulty Kisara fluttered open her eyes, but only for a moment as the bright white lights of the hospital burnt her eyes causing her to clamp them shut again. Kisara paused for a moment and then tried again to open her eyes; she squinted for a bit while her eyes adjusted the offending light.

The pale girl cough a little, Wait, why am I in a hospital? I…I remember coming home…and then the house, my house was on fire! And…and I remember seeing my Mum…no, she…she…can't be …dead. That man I duelled he must have won. Kisara felt the trickle of tears run down her cheeks as she remembered the horrific events of last night.

A few minutes later a nurse entered Kisara's room, seeing that the hospitalized girl already was awake, she quickly called a doctor to analyse the young girl's condition. Within a few moments a doctor appeared on the scene and promptly headed inside the girls room

"Good evening, Miss…Kisara." Greeted the doctor, while he momentarily glanced down at his clip board to find her name. He had a tired appearance, with lightly greyish hair, and was a little over weight complete with a serious expression. His, white lab coat completed his whole doctor's appearance.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm a bit sore all very really and the burns are very sore."

"Can you move?" The doctor replied as he scribbled something down on his clipboard.

"Yeah…" Said the girl, as she slowly and carefully wriggled her arms and legs to prove it. "I can move just fine."

"Right, I will give you one more day in the hospital under supervision, your burns weren't too extreme and should heal within a week or too. And although you didn't receive and injuries that were too drastic I'd recommend three days of bed rest at least. You will not need the oxygen tubes; the inhalation of the fire's smoke was small. Mr Mutou was made your legal guardian after the passing of your mother.

"That means my mother really is…"

"Dead, yes."

The word death ran out like a loud bell in her ears as realization dawned on the unfortunate girl. Kisara felt fresh new tears well up and spill out as her fears became true, and this time she made no attempt to wipe them. As she lowered her head in remorse the doctor briefly looked at his clipboard again and left the room, leaving Kisara alone once more to sleep.

February 2nd: 4:19 pm

The day passed fast, mostly because she was asleep through most of it. Kisara then received a visit from the doctor once more. This time to be informed that she was allowed to leave.

Once Kisara got ready to leave and made her way to the entrance of the hospital she was met by two people.

"You must be Kisara, right?" Greeted the older of the two. He had greyish spiky hair, and topaz coloured eyes. The child next to him was a lot younger, about Kisara's age; however they were still quite short. The younger one had a welcoming look to him and his hair was dyed with three colours, blonde, black and red, it too was spiky. 'They must be related, perhaps grandson and grandpa.'

"Yes, I am. I assume that you two are the Mutou's, my mother used to mention you quite a lot." Kisara replied as she attempted to be cheerful, and failed as the reminder of her mother sank in again.

"Uh-huh, I'm Yugi and this is my Grandpa." Yugi smiled once more as he gestured towards his grandpa and extended his hand for Kisara to shake. "I'm really happy to finally meet you. You'll come to live with us, right?" Yugi continued as Kisara happily shook his hand.

"I don't wanna bother anyone…" Kisara trailed off.

"Nonsense! Children of good friends are always welcome in my house, hohoho! And please call me grandpa." Chuckled the old man while smiling.

"Thank you, I'm promise I'll do my bit around the house, it's the least I can do." Kisara smiled.

"Not while you're still recovering, you won't." Grandpa playfully warned, "Now let's call a taxi and get going."

The trio soon departed from the hospital and walked down the front steps and called for a passing taxi. The taxi screeched to a halt as Grandpa, Yugi and Kisara opened the door and got in the back.

Once inside the taxi Grandpa informed the driver of their desired destination and within minutes the cab sped away down the street. It took about half an hour before the trio reached their house, or shop I should say. Grandpa exited the cab along with Yugi and Kisara and paid for the cab fare.

"Come on, I'll take you to your room." Yugi smiled as he lead Kisara into the Game shop and upstairs to where the bedrooms were located, "This is your room, I'll swing by later once you've settled in." Yugi said before he left her in her new room. Kisara let out a small sigh before she gently pushed the door to, and slowly approached her new bed and laid on down on it.

It was weird for Kisara really. For although her mother was once great friends with the Mutou's especially the older of the two, Kisara herself had never actually met them. And to finally be introduced to them without her mother by her side was almost like being introduced to a stranger.

As Kisara rested her head on the bed's soft pillows she began to slowly relax. 'I've still got three days of rest before I go back to school. Misty will probably be wondering where I am. And although I'm eternally grateful to the Mutou's for letting me crash here, I need to at least earn my keep. I'll have to get a job.' As she continued to think nervousness and distresses took over the girl. 'That's easier said then down though, I mean not many employers will employee a sixteen year old girl with no qualifications.' But then all distress that the girl was feeling suddenly vanished. 'I know I'll just ask to work here at the game shop.'

"Kisara… Can I come in?" A boy asked as he lightly knocked on her door.

"Of course, Yugi." Kisara said, from her room as she sat up on her bed.

"I hope you like your new room, it may not be much but, it's our home." Yugi smiled as he joined Kisara and sat on the edge of her bed.

"It's more then I could ask for, thank you for letting me stay." Was the Kisara's polite reply as she smiled back at Yugi.

"Well anyway, I just wanted to talk with you, you know? Could I?" Asked Yugi, happily.

"Of course go right ahead." Kisara urged as she crossed her legs and got more comfortable.

"It's about you…"Yugi trailed off.

"Ok…"

"About Lanetli"

"Wait do you also know what it means? Do you know what it is?" The girl in front of the Yugi seemed to drastically change from a tired sleepy person, too a revitalised energetic person. The bombardment of questions from Kisara made Yugi laugh a little, however he soon tried to regain his serious face.

"I can't lie, I know what it is, and I also know why those people abducted you and why they questioned you. They were interested in the power of its force."

"What?" Kisara replied puzzled and intrigued at the same time. 'How did he know was abducted, I haven't even had the chance to tell anyone.

"You have a second soul inside of you. It is different to other people. It is the reason that you survived the fire, that you are alive in this world today."

"I don't understand. How…how can I have this…this thing inside of me, this second soul?

"I understand that you'll find it hard to take in everything I've jut said but believe me, everything will become clear once this second should communicate with you." Yugi smiled as if to reassure Kisara. "I believe that the first contact that it had with you was… well… in the fire. You must have heard those men say 'Lanetli' right? Well it means cursed.

"Are you saying I'm cursed?" Kisara asked now greatly confused.

"In a sense I suppose, the power of this spirit is of the light and beyond everything, it is a strong spirit. Many are looking for it, for you. In a way, you are more blessed then cursed. This spirit only wants to help you." Yugi said looking deeply into Kisara's blue eyes, while she did the same and stared back into Yugi purple orbs.

"Well this is a lot to take in Yugi, would you mind if I went to sleep and thought about it" Kisara asked as she yawned.

"Of course, I'll see you later." Yugi finished as he got up and left the room while gently closing the door on the way out.

Kisara let another sigh escape her lips while she slowly laid back down and closed her eyes.

'Kisara?'

The girl bolted upright from her relaxed position and looked around the room "Who said that?" She asked out loud. When she received no reply she cautiously laid back down on her pillow. 'Must be my imagination.'

'Kisara listen to me.'

'Who are you?'

'I'm your second soul, I'm here to help.'

'What's your name?'

'…'

February 3rd: 6:30 am

A beeping alarm could be heard from a neighbouring room. Kisara opened the eyes slowly, while yawning in protest to the offending noise, after a few more loud beeps it shut off and Kisara snuggled up closer in the warmth of her blankets. 'I suppose I better get up and showered.' And so very reluctantly Kisara threw back her covers and padded across the carpet to the bathroom, grabbing a towel on her way.

The water felt like heaven as it feel onto her body, soothing any aches and pains. Kisara stood in the shower for a few more minutes before exiting it, and grabbing her idle towel. Wrapping it around her she walked back into her room and shut the door and proceeded to get changed.

After drying off and getting dressed into her clothes. Once finished Kisara sat on her bed while brushing her soft beautiful locks of hair. 'I sure had a weird dream last night. It must have been from what Yugi said about me having a second soul.'

'It wasn't a dream, Kisara.'

Kisara almost jumped out of her skin at the sound of that voice in her head. 'Please, stop doing that!'

'My apologies Kisara.'

'So it wasn't a dream then, was it?'

'No, I'm quite real.'

'Well, at least I know I'm not going crazy. So what do you want?'

'I need to talk to you.'

'About…?'

'Him.'

'Him?'

'Yes, he's next.'

'Who?'
