I'm ba-ack!

(sry I took so long but I was banned because of this story for "duplicate post" reasons. If anyone knows what this means please tell me so I won't be banned again)

BWUHAHAHAH! Yami is about to wake up and well let's just say Carla doesn't take well to a spirit guy.

Thank you panya-nut, sesshoumarus-gal, Possessed Squirrel, Ministirth, and HarUwHiTe2blAcK, for reviewing

Recap: Finally it was down to the piece that looked like an eye. It was really quite the easiest piece in the puzzle since there was only one way it could go. She felt a twinge of fear though, it almost seemed as though the eye looked at her very soul. What was she saying, it's just a stupid puzzle piece, what could it do? With a rush of courage she shoved the last piece in...

And nothing happened.

At first.

Then a blinding light came and well...blinded Carla who by now was thinking something along the lines of "Oh #$%! What the hell have I done!?" (A/N: Carla only curses when extremely angry or frightened otherwise she has a clean mouth) Then it was over and suddenly Carla came face to face with a dazed guy only a couple inches higher than her with crimson eyes, wearing strange Egyptian clothing, and had extremely rumpled, tri-colored spiky hair as if he's been asleep for a hundred years.

Carla blinked in shock.

Yami blinked sleepily with some confusion on his face.

Blink.

Blink.

Suddenly it came to Carla that there was a GUY with CRIMSOM eyes in her room with HIS CHEST QUITE visible (not a bad one either but that would come to her later). Fright overcame shock.

"AAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S A DEMON FROM HEL-"

Yami had clamped his hand over her mouth in an effort to shush and calm her. He was trying to get his bearings as quickly as he could with a century of sleepiness still with him. This girl's yelling would not help.

Bad move Yami.

Carla didn't know that the spirit was friendly and as the pharaoh was facing her she did a self-defense move that any Spanish girl learned from her over-protective aunt at the age of 9, she lifted her knee up in between his legs. HARD.

OW. Now it was Yami's turn for pain.

"AGHHH!!!!" cried Yami as he slumped to the floor in pain.

While Yami was writhing around howling, Carla got out her can of pepper spray from her backpack and brandished it menacingly towards Yami. O.o. Yami calmed down enough to see the girl was about to spray him with something surely dangerous and raised his arm up in defense

"Look here, girl, I mean you no harm. Please put the bottle-thing away."

Carla slowly bent and put the spray can down on her nightstand in easy reach. She warily sat down on the side of her bed, ignoring the ::creak squeak:: noise the bed made. She said quietly,

"Explain yourself."

"Rather shouldn't it be I asking you, you are the one who solved the puzzle, right?"

She nodded. If Carla weren't so scared, she would've blushed at Yami's deep naughty voice.

"I thought so...anyways I might as well tell you, seeing as you're going to be my new hikari...hmmm...it all started 5100 years ago..." Yami began to tell her everything since his beginning memories to where he met Yugi...Blahblahblah you know the rest (he doesn't remember everything but he manages to let Carla in on the basics of his life). Carla sat still during the entire story, emotionless. Finally, when Yami was done telling her about his most recent memory about how Yugi defeated him and he left, Carla spoke,

"You expect me to believe this...why? You have quite a lame defense, dude."

Yami sighed. This was going to be harder than he thought.

"First of all, my name is not dude, it is Pharoah Atem, but let's ignore the fancy titles, you may just call me Yami, little one. (LITTLE ONE?! Thought Carla at that moment, I'm not small...hrmm...TT) Anyways...(Yami saw Carla's death glare and ignored it) why shouldn't you believe me? What's wrong little hikari?"

Perhaps it was the lack of sleep, perhaps it was the fact that she was called little and this aggravated her, or perhaps it was the fact that she hadn't done any of her homework and was in for quite a school day soon that Carla finally cracked. We shall never know.

"WHAT'S WRONG YAMI?! WELL LET ME FILL YOU IN! 1. I HAVEN'T SLEPT AT ALL AND AT THIS RATE I WILL ONLY GET TO SLEEP FOR 2 HOURS! 2. I HAVEN'T DONE ANY OF MY HOMEWORK AND THE TEACHERS ARE GOING TO KILL ME! 3. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, FOR THE PAST (glances at clock) 6 HOURS I HAVE SPENT IN A TRANCE THAT I COULDN'T BREAK OUT OF TRYING TO SOLVE A PUZZLE I DIDN'T EVEN WANT. (Yami tries to break in here but is stopped by Carla's ultimate glare TT)THEN WHEN I DO SOLVE IT I'M BLINDED BY A LIGHT AND FROM THE LIGHT OF THE PUZZLE COMES YOU, A GUY WITH FREAKY SPIKED HAIR AND DEMONIC EYES!!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK I BELIEVE!...(her voice quiets down a bit) I just hope that this is all a nightmare and I wake up soon."

Yami during this tremendous yelling had his spiked hair blown back (an interesting look), and his eardrums ringing as he had hit the other side of the room with a smack! . Yami decided that he needed to apologize for whatever made her yell so greatly.

"I'm sorry litt- I mean hikari. By the way what is your name aibou?"

"Carla."

"It's pretty and it suits you."

Carla knew that Yami was probably flattering her just so she wouldn't yell at him, but guys didn't flatter her often.

"Thanks...Yami."

This could've become quite a touching moment if it hadn't been for the door bursting open just then.

"Don't worry Carlita we'll save you!" cried Aunt Marie who had a loaded gun and was waving it everywhere.

"Put it down Marietta, I think she just had a nightmare." said her mother, Helena, softly. Helena walked softly over to her bed and sat next to a trembling (tiredness overcame anger) Carla on the bed. (A/N: Yami disappeared the moment the door was burst open and went into his puzzle, and watched the spectacle, amused)

"Was it a bad nightmare hija (means daughter that is used affectionately)? We heard screams and yelling from your room." Said Helena.

"mmmhhhhhhmmmm, " mumbled Carla which meant yes.

"Just go to sleep dear."

"ok Mama."

With that, Carla, crawled into her bed and in less than a minute was out (but not before she set her alarm clock to ring in 2 hours). Her mother smiled and kissed Carla lovingly on her forehead, turned off her desk lamp and left. It was a good thing that Carla was asleep so she didn't hear Marietta go "Oooh, ella termino (she finished) the puzzle! She'll wear it tomorrow!" or else Carla wouldn't be able to sleep.

Once everything was quiet again, Yami appeared again and watched Carla sleep. She's so peaceful when she's like that. Then thinking, on the spur of the moment, he suddenly cocked his head and kissed Carla's forehead softly. It fit somehow.

"Goodnight my little hikari."

Awwww....isn't that cute. I love fluff. But don't worry readers, more chaos will befall on Yami as he attempts to wake up Carla and she goes to school, very grouchy. Ideas are welcome.

What's coming up: Yami gets angry at a clock, Carla and Yami are both in for a surprise when Yami tries to take over, and the king of geeks in Carla's class is going to ask a dreaded question. Please review, it makes me type faster!
