The next morning the whole ship was talking about the murder. Everyone was scared, all talking about who would be next. Yumi walked down the halls of the ship looking for Katsu, she hadn't had a chance to talk to him last night because the guards had sent everyone to bed after she introduced herself to Masato. She heard someone shouting her name from behind her.
"Yuuuummmmiiiii!"
"Kaylee?" Yumi looked behind to see the blonde running to catch up with her. Her hair wasn't up in a bun like it was before, instead it was in a loose pony tail, some bangs left to hang out.
"Did you hear about the murder?" Kaylee asked, a concerned look on her face.
"Yeah, I'm happy Katsu's OK. Do you know the name of the kid who was killed?" the name of the victim still hadn't been released to the public yet.
"No, I don't, Papa won't even tell me! I even asked Uncle Mokuba," she frowned and looked down, " What if it had been my big brother, or me, or you. Katsu's so lucky he was in the shower. I heard murders kill anyone who sees them!"
Yumi put a hand on Kaylee's shoulder in an attempt to calm her down, "It's OK Kaylee, it wasn't us, and that's what counts," Yumi smiled at Kaylee, "Hey, speaking of Katsu, where is he?"
"I think he was sent to the office, to be questioned. But he should be out by now. Have you checked his cabin?"
"No, I was just heading there now," Yumi lied, she hadn't thought of that.
"Who are you looking for?" The girls looked behind to find Katsu walking up.
"No one any more," Yumi looked at Katsu, he looked tired and worn, "you didn't get much sleep, did you?"
"I was being questioned all night, I just got out of the office," Although he smiled, something didn't feel right to Yumi, Something was... different. She looked at him again, the only different was his tired expression, "Hey Yumi, Kaylee, wanna go get some breakfast, I'm starved!"
Yumi snapped back into reality, "Uh, sure I gotta go get something from my room first."
"Alright meet you there!" Kaylee smiled back at Yumi and waved good bye as Yumi headed back to her cabin.
"You forgot this," Kesi had the puzzle in her hand and walked it over to Yumi, "please don't forget it again, someone might try to steal it,then who knows what would happen?"
"They'd have a puzzle?"
"Not just any puzzle! It is the key to finding where the millennium items are! It could destroy the world!"
"And yet you gave it to a total stranger?" Yumi was just trying to pick on her a bit, but Kesi took it a little to offensively.
"I know you may not like me all that much, but you must believe me! Father has never trusted me with this much responsibility, and I just wanna make him proud," She started to cry, her tears were streaming down her face and onto the floor.
"Awe, Kess, you know I'm your friend. Don't worry about the items, they're as good as found, promise," Yumi looked up at her, as Kesi wiped her tears away.
"Thanks Yumi, I knew I could count on you!"
'I just wanted a lunch with Yugi's daughter and this is what I get stuck with, a little girl with daddy issues?'
" So me and Uncle Mokuba were at the park one day and saw someone propose to his new fiance! Isn't that sooo sweet! I wanna get proposed to at the park or a hot air balloon! Ooh! Or on a roller coaster at the beach!" Kaylee had been going on and on about her wedding plans for the whole breakfast, but "Katsu" wasn't really listening.
" Oh, uh, yeah that would be nice," Katsu stuttered, not sure what she was saying.
"You're not listening, are you?" Kaylee asked, Katsu seemed out of it, "you're not acting like your self."
"How would you know what I act like after knowing my for a day?"
"Well... uh..."
As Kaylee was thinking of a reason, Yumi walked in through the door, the millennium puzzle around her neck, She was wearing her father's old Domino High jacket, with a white shirt under it and dark blue jeans. Bakura, still using Katsu's body, stared at the millennium puzzle smirking to him self. If it was this easy to find the puzzle, then the other Millennium Items could be his in a month at most.
"Hey Guys!" Yumi smiled as she came to their table. She eyed Katsu, a golden glow came from hid body. His glow seemed different from Kesi's, more sinister and dark. Yumi scanned his body for a reason behind the glow, but only saw what looked like some sort of eye on his forehead. She knew that it wasn't there before she put on the puzzle, so the reason for it must be the same as the glow. What does all this mean?
"Yumi, are you OK? You spaced out for a minute, do you need to see the nurse?" Kastu asked, acting concerned. 'So Yugi's daughter was also chosen by the puzzle?' Bakura thought.
"Nah, I'm fine, just a little tired," Yumi said out loud as she thought, 'Why does Katsu seem so different today?'
Just then the loud speaker echoed out "ATTENTION ALL PASSANGERS, WE'RE GETTING OFF IN HALF AN HOUR, PACK YOUR STUFF UP AND BE READY TO LEAVE" it repeated three more times and shut off.
"We'd better go get our stuff," Kaylee suggested, "come on Yumi, let's go."
"Yeah, uh, bye Katsu," Yumi waved as Kaylee practically dragged her down the hall.
"Bye!" Katsu shouted back to Yumi and Kaylee as they ran off to their cabins.
As the girls walked down the hallway of the boat, they talked about everything, from walruses to why they wanted to go to duelist academy. Then Kaylee brought up a subject Yumi would have rather ignored. It was a subject she thought best kept hidden in the dark, not because it was grim or sad instead because she thought, no hoped, her accusations weren't true.
"Do you think Katsu's acting weird? He wasn't acting his usual self today," Kaylee asked. Yumi knew the subject couldn't be avoided.
She needed time to think things through, to know what to do about it, but mostly to give Katsu time. She thought quickly and responded, "He might have just been tired, some times people act completely different when they're sleepy. He was up for a long time last night being questioned."
Kaylee knew something was up, and wasn't afraid to speak her mind, "You know something about Katsu that I don't, don't you?" she accused Yumi. Yumi couldn't keep secrets to save her life, she was an awful liar, and on top of that hated when people lied to her. She knew Kaylee didn't want to be treated the same way and told her. She told her everything, from the day Kesi had arrived to the strange glow around Katsu. "So I was right about you hiding something from me?" Kaylee asked, you could hear the hurt in her voice.
"I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you, it's just..." Yumi couldn't think of why she had hidden something like this from one of her few friends, she never had friends in school. Everyone would just want to duel her, or they would become intimidated. She looked over to her friend, who was now smiling, "How can you be so happy knowing your friend had kept aa huge secret from you?" Yumi asked.
"Because Yumi, this means we can have an amazing adventure just like our parents. It means our friendship can become closer. Should we tell Katsu?"
Yumi hadn't even told her brother yet, and how could she tell Katsu knowing he was acting so strange? "No, Kaylee, we shouldn't tell Katsu. I'm not even sure we can trust him. He's acting so... different."
They came to the hall where Kaylee's cabin was and parted ways. Yumi continued on to her cabin to start packing. She wasn't sure whether or not to keep the puzzle on her or pack it up, but settled with keeping it on her neck. She was growing attached to it. The horn blew and she walked out onto the deck. The cold ocean air met her face as she smiled at what would be her new home for the next year. It had three dorms classified by their brightly colored roofs, and on the shore she saw an odd looking blonde haired man waiting for them, he looked pretty upset. Yumi figured it was because of the boat being late.
As they got off the boat a chill went up her spine. As she turned around she saw the boy from the other night. What was his name again? Masato that was it. He was looking up at the blonde haired man, listening carefully to his speech, when he finished telling them about the history of the game, the creator, and complained about having to post pone the entrance exam until we got here. The only thing Yumi got out of the whole speech was that the guys name was Crowler.
A/N: I'm starting the next chapter already, but I'm gonna skip the duels, cause I'm not so great at writing them, so yeah peace out and all that!
