A Daughter's Helping Hand Chpt. 6
Meeting Haru's Parents And The Truth

Haru felt a little worried how his parents would react to Kaiya. They would freak out over the littlest of things and this wasn't that big but for them it would be bad since Haru had never seen any other people visit their house except their long time friends and they would act the same way. That reminded Haru to show Kaiya the other kids that lived in the neighborhood.

They got to the neighborhood gate and Haru entered the gate code and it opened. Haru drove through it. "Now letting you know, you have to be careful around my parents." Haru said as they were almost there.

"I know. Be a little angel around them. Relax, Haru. I know exactly what to do." Kaiya smiled

They reached his house and Haru parked the motorcycle while Kaiya was looking at the house and it was great. It was two times larger than hers. "Remind me again why we never came here to hang out."

Haru handed her one of the Duel Disks they brought. "Parents." Haru sighed. He had to tell her this about 7 times during the ride there.

Kaiya and Haru walked towards his door and Haru opened it. When they walked in, Haru's mom poked out. She had long blonde hair and violet eyes just like Kaiya's, which startled her since she never saw anyone with violet eyes besides her.

"Who's this, Haru?" Haru's mom was staring at Kaiya. Who wouldn't if their son had come home with a girl with purple eyes and red, black, and blonde hair?

"This is Kaiya Mutou. My friend from school. I'm letting her sleepover tonight. Is that okay?" Haru asked nervously

His mom just stood there than nodded. She left instantly that left them both confused. "Let me show you my room." Haru said grabbing Kaiya's hand and pulling her to his room, upstairs.

Haru opened a door and Kaiya looked inside. It was huge and looked pretty normal. Mostly a mess but you could see the carpet at least. He had a laptop in his bedroom and a Queen sized bed.

"Nice room." Kaiya said as she walked in. She landed on his bed.

"Thanks." Haru said

They just got situated when Haru's dad's voice rang through the house. "Haru! Come down here with your friend!" he yelled and made them both cringe.

"I think we just got busted." Kaiya said as they walked out of his bedroom. Haru shrugged with confusion.

Downstairs, Haru's parents were waiting for them. Both of them were looking at Kaiya that made her very uncomfortable. Haru's dad had blonde hair too and almost looked exactly like Haru save for differences in his face.

"Now tell me your last name, again." He referred to Kaiya.

"Mutou." Kaiya answered nervous.

"Who are your parents?" his mom asked

"I don't know my mom but my dad's name is Yami." Kaiya so desperately wanted to disappear.

Haru's mom coughed in what they both thought was disbelief. Haru's dad didn't change his face expression but you could see he was hiding something.

"Have you met him before?" Haru asked trying to give some break to Kaiya.

"Actually, yes but it was a long time ago." Haru's mom said

"You can tell me your names and I'll tell him." Kaiya said but both parents freaked out.

"You don't need to tell him! It was too long ago. Now go back to your sleepover." Haru's dad covered up and both of them left for their room leaving Kaiya and Haru very confused.

"You want to tell me their names so I can just know?" Kaiya asked Haru

"Their names and Joseph and Mai Wheeler." Haru explained

"Wait a minute. You told me your last name was Sano!" Kaiya exclaimed

"I had to lie about it. I told you before that they were weird." Haru explained

"Why were they so worried about me telling Dad?" Kaiya wondered

"Paranoid." Haru drew a circle on the side of his head with his finger meaning "crazy". Kaiya laughed.

"Right. Now let's figure out these Duel Disks." Kaiya and Haru ran back up to his bedroom.

They took out all the cards to see what was in there. Both of them found a lot of interesting cards. While Haru was still looking, Kaiya saw a little note at the very bottom of the graveyard. She picked it up and read it.

This is to anyone who receives this Duel Disk. I knew I couldn't have it forever.Let it be in good hands since Imay not be there to make sure of it. I left my deck in there for the same reason as the first. Good luck.

-Y.M.

Kaiya looked at it strangely. The only one she knew of having those initials were her dad. Kaiya poked Haru and showed it to him.

"I don't think it's your dad. We've never seen him play this before. I think its Yugi Mutou. You must be related to him somehow." Haru explained.

"How come I'm figuring out everything now?" Kaiya asked and Haru shrugged.

"Who knows? But I'm just glad my parents haven't seen the motorcycle yet." Haru grinned.

"HARU! WHY IS THERE A MOTORCYCLE IN MY GARAGE!" his dad yelled and Haru cringed.

"You spoke too soon." Kaiya giggled as she and Haru walked down the stairs into the garage.

Haru and Kaiya saw his dad fuming. "Dad, I can explain." Haru said

"You better have." He glared at his son

"Okay, I've been earning money for that motorcycle for weeks and I finally got it but I thought you guys wouldn't approve so I kept it at Kaiya's house until now." Haru explained

"Why didn't you just tell us? It's not like we're against motorcycles." His father answered

"Sorry, Dad. Guess I assumed too much." Haru said

Joseph gave opened his arms out and Haru gave him a hug. Kaiya felt awkward standing there so she left back to Haru's room. She was jealous of Haru for having a good relationship with his parents. She had no idea who her mom was and her dad…could barely keep in touch with reality if not at all.

Kaiya waited in Haru's room for ten minutes before his door was opened but it wasn't him. It was Mai. She came inside and shut the door behind her. Kaiya was on the bed and Mai sat right next to her. Mai took a deep breath.

"We need to talk. Even if Joey and Haru don't know about it." Mai spoke

"His name is Joey?" Kaiya asked

"It always was before he died." Mai sighed

"Who died?" Kaiya asked very curious and Mai took a large gulp.

"Yugi did. From a car crash. Ever since he did, everything went downhill." Mai explained

"Is this the Yugi I heard was the King Of Games?" Kaiya questioned

"Yes. Your father was very very close to him. More close than I could ever explain. When Yugi was gone, it tore him apart. I guess he is still broken, right?" Mai asked and Kaiya nodded. "We were all worried over Yami. He wouldn't even look at anyone. The only one he had who he could bare was you."

"Haru was almost 1 year old at the time and I was scared for him. I felt that if we lived by Yami we too would fall under the same sorrow that he did. So we were forced to move away. Not too far away though. But the hardest to go was your mother. She could not leave Yami and you. You two were her family. But she was almost going through the same depression so we thought that it would be better if we let her get her own space for a while. Then let her come back. But she didn't understand. She…" Mai couldn't finish. She didn't want to hurt Kaiya but she also felt that Kaiya had to know.

"Go on. I have to hear." Kaiya urged Mai. Mai continued.

"Your mom was so heart broken that she had to leave you two and still sad over Yugi's death that it was too much. Her mind couldn't take the strain. She was sent to the hospital just a couple days of moving." Mai took a deep breath "She died. I'm so sorry Kaiya. We should have never taken her. But that's why we were worried over Yami so we didn't tell him where we were or what happened fearing the same fate." Mai explained with tears in her eyes.

Kaiya was still taking everything in but she still had questions. "Who was my mom?"

"Tea Gardner." Mai replied, "She was such a nice girl. We were close friends. I was there for her, along side Yami, when you were born and the same for when Haru was. It was so hard when both Yugi and Tea were gone."

"Thank you for telling all this but why?" Kaiya asked again.

"Because you deserve to know. You need to know why your dad is always so disheartened and miserable. I felt that since you were here you could learn why things are. There are more of us. Serenity, Tristan, Marik, Duke, and Izhizu. I'm sorry that you had to be in the middle of it. But know if you need something that I'm here for you and so is everyone else." Mai put her hand on Kaiya's shoulder and left the room leaving Kaiya with her thoughts.

Kaiya was stunned. She knew the problem about her dad that she had been trying to get for years. And she got it from her best friend's/boyfriend's mom. She thought about all these things when Haru came in. He sat next to her.

"My dad told me everything." Haru said and Kaiya bit her lip.

"I can't believe what I've been yearning to know forever all came out in about 5 minutes. It's…astounding." Kaiya replied

"You've gone through a lot. Do you still want to stay here?" Haru asked and Kaiya nodded

"Yes. I couldn't handle it if I came back tonight." Kaiya said and quietly laughed. "Listen to me. Look at me. Two weeks ago I would have never dreamed about this happening or me talking so…pathetic."

"You're not pathetic. Just confused. It'll pass." Haru smiled and Kaiya did too.

"I don't think about the hair though." Kaiya pointed to her head and laughed. Haru was glad that Kaiya was herself.

"Let's eat dinner. But watch out, my dad is a maniac with food and I am a little too." Haru helped Kaiya up.

"I already know how much you eat." Kaiya smirked as they both walked downstairs.

Dinner was fun. They joked around and teased Haru. None of them brought up the stuff they talked about earlier. It would just be awkward.

"Okay guys. Now I'm not saying you have to go to bed just get ready for it." Mai said as she and Joey picked up things. Kaiya and Haru went to Haru's room.

A couple minutes later, Joey ran into Haru's room and slammed the door. "Your mom is making me do the dishes again." Joey joked. Then he noticed the Duel Disks.

"Where did you get these?" Joey asked as he picked up Haru's.

"My room. I find a ton of things in there." Kaiya replied

Joey picked up a card and his eyes got big. "No way! This is my old Deck and Duel Disk!"

"It works nicely. I used it and won with Kaiya." Haru said but he was no going to bring up the situation they were in at the time.

"You know how to play Duel Monsters?" Joey asked

"A little." Haru and Kaiya both said at the same time.

"You guys are really amazing." Joey chuckled and gave the stuff back to Haru. He left the room.

"I think it's time we go to bed." Haru said and Kaiya smirked.

"You? Suggesting bed? That's a first." Kaiya laughed

"Fine but we have to get up early to ride out." Haru said

"Ride to what?" Kaiya asked

"A surprise." Haru smirked and Kaiya sighed.

Haru got a sleeping bag and dressed in the bathroom. He came out in some sweatpants for pajamas. Kaiya whistled and Haru got embarrassed. Kaiya got dressed while he was in the bathroom. She had a black tank and shorts. Haru got into bed while she got into her sleeping bag.

"Night Haru." Kaiya said

"Night Kaiya." Haru replied and both of them fell asleep.
