A month passes without much happening...well, unless you count almost pushing Yugi off the roof six...or maybe it's been seven times now.
"Man, what a nightmare." Kaiya says as she stands up, and walks to the bathroom. When she comes back into the room, she practically jumps out of the room when she sees the spirit. "What are you doing here! You don't really exist!" She shouts, pointing toward the spirit, who turns to look at her.
^Actually, yes, I do. I take it very insulting when you try to pretend I'm not really here.^ The spirit says, glaring at Kaiya, who sighs.
"What do you want? If I've found anything out in the last few weeks, it's that you don't 'appear' unless you have something to say." Kaiya says, air quoting the word appear.
^I'm only going to tell you this once, so TRY to pay attention.^ The spirit says with a sigh as she sits up, and looks directly at Kaiya.
"What is it?" Kaiya demands. The spirit glares at her.
^I'll say it on my own time, so don't go demanding.^ The spirit says, huffing. Kaiya sighs.
"Find." Kaiya says, collapsing onto her bed to brush her hair.
^Within the next two days, you'll be receiving an invitation to something called the Duelist Kingdom.^ The spirit says.
"Duelist...Kingdom?" Kaiya questions, completely confused.
^Yes. Now, stop interrupting!^ The spirit commands, glaring dangerously at Kaiya. She raises her hands in surrender. ^Okay. Now, you are to accept this invitation. Am I making myself clear?^ The spirit says, looking at Kaiya with a calculating look. Kaiya nods. ^Good.^ And with that, the spirit disappears. Kaiya sighs as she gets to her feet, and walks out the door, heading toward school.
Kaiya walks into her last hour class, and sits down, only to hear someone walk up to her desk.
"What do you want? Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?" Kaiya demands, not bothering to look at the person.
"Well, if you're so busy sleeping, why don't you go to the principal's office and do that?" A guy's voice says. Kaiya looks up, only to see that her teacher is the one standing in front of her desk.
"Whatever." Kaiya mumbles before going back to having her head on the desk. The teacher glares down at her as an anime vein appears on the side of her head.
"What was that?" He says in a tight voice.
"Are you hard of hearing or something? I told you to bug off!" Kaiya shouts, getting to her feet. She grins wickedly.
*Wait! What's going on?* Kaiya mentally questions as she watches from the passenger's seat as her body moves without her telling it to.
"March your butt to the principal's office right now, young lady!" The teacher commands, pointing toward the door.
"And what gives you the idea that I'm going to listen to you?" Kaiya's mouth questions, even though she's not the one saying it. Her mental eyes widen when she understands.
*Damn spirit! What the hell do you think you're doing?* Kaiya mentally demands.
^It's not like you were going to do anything about it, where you? Besides-^ The spirit looks at the teacher. ^This bastard deserves to get an ear full. So, just shut up and stay there for a while.^ The spirit says, smiling wickedly. Kaiya shakes her head.
*No! You can't do this! Stop right now!* Kaiya demands. The spirit sighs as she gives the reins, so to speak, back to Kaiya.
"GET OUT OF MY CLASSROOM, THIS INSTANT!" The teacher demands, eyes narrowed. Kaiya shakes her head to clear the fog that seems to have accumulated while the spirit was in control as she grabs her books out of her desk, and stuffs them into her book bag. She quickly walks out of the room, and toward the principal's office. She sighs as she stops in front of the door.
^You know, you could always let me take over and get us out of this.^ The spirit says. Kaiya looks to her side, and glares at the spirit.
"I don't think so. You're the one that made this happen, so you're going to be suffering this right along with me." Kaiya says as she raises her head, and walks into the office.
^Damn you and your morals!^ The spirit shouts as Kaiya takes a seat in front of the principle's desk.
*Serves you right.* Kaiya says as she completely ignores the spirit for the two hours that she spends in the office.
She walks out of the office two hours later, and sighs.
*I never want to go through that again!* Kaiya mentally shouts as she walks out of the school building, and walks toward home. She opens the mailbox.
^Well, maybe if you had listened to me when I said to make a run for it, you wouldn't have had to go through that.^ The spirit says, rolling her eyes. Kaiya glares at her.
"Actually, you told me to switch places with you, and we both found out what happens when you do that." Kaiya says. The spirit shrugs.
"Taking to yourself now, Kai?" A voice says from behind her. She spins around to see none other than Bakura.
"Hey, dude." Kaiya says, smiling. She glances next to her when she feels tension radiating off the spirit.
^You shouldn't be near this man, Kaiya.^ The spirit says in a warning voice.
*But he's my friend!* Kaiya mentally shouts, completely taken aback by the demand.
^Just trust me. He's not safe.^ The spirit says, looking directly at Kaiya. She shakes her head.
*Oh yeah, I'm going to trust you!* She says in a sarcastic voice. The spirit's eyes narrow.
"Hey, Kaiya? You in there?" Bakura asks, moving a hand in front of Kaiya's face. She flinches, and blinks before looking at Bakura.
"Hm? Oh, sorry, Bakura." Kaiya smiles.
"Where did you go?" He asks, smiling.
"I haven't been getting that much sleep lately. I just kind of dozed off there." She says, scratching the back of her head.
"Well, I suppose I better be going." Bakura says as he turns to walk away from Kaiya. He looks over his shoulder at her. "Hope you get some sleep before the Duelist Kingdom!" He says, smiling.
*Duelist...Kingdom? Wait! Weren't you telling me something about that?* Kaiya questions, looking at her spirit.
^Gah!^ The spirit shakes her head. ^Where you not paying ANY attention to what I was telling you this morning?^ She demands, glaring at Kaiya.
"Well, you see...I'm not exactly a morning person, so anything anyone tells me before 10:00 just goes in one ear, and out the other." Kaiya says, sounding embarrassed.
^What am I going to do? I got an idiot as my host!^ The spirit shouts, shaking her head. Kaiya looks at her like she had insulted her.
"What the hell do you mean, idiot!" Kaiya demands. The spirit merely glares at her.
^Open the damn mailbox, and get the box!^ The spirit demands. Kaiya's eyes widen as she opens the mailbox, and indeed does see a box.
"How did you know that it was there?" Kaiya demands, looking at the spirit with surprise.
^I told you you'd be getting a package today, remember?^ The spirit says, rolling her eyes. Kaiya shakes her head, and walks inside. She drops all the mail onto the table, except for the box, that is. She walks up to her room, and opens it. She gasps when she sees a glove type thing, along with a video and two stars.
"What in the world!" Kaiya questions, picking up the video.
^Don't you DARE turn that video on!^ The spirit says in a menacing voice. Kaiya sigh as she pops the video in. The next thing she knows, there's a card falling out of the TV.
"Okay, this is just getting weirder and weirder!" Kaiya says as she picks up the card. She turns it over to see a Dragon of the Darkness card. Her eyes widen. "You mean to tell me that this Duelist Kingdom is a Duel Monster's tournament?" Kaiya demands. The spirit sits down next to her, and nods. "But I haven't played in years! Plus, I never was any good..." Kaiya says, lowering her head.
^Don't worry. I'll help you get a deck ready.^ The spirit says. Kaiya's eyes widen.
"NO! I CAN'T!" Kaiya shouts, shooting to her feet. The spirit watches as she grabs a gold box from under her bed, and stuffs it into her bag.
^What are you hiding from me, Kaiya?^ The spirit demands, taking three menacing steps toward Kaiya. She sighs.
"I...I actually used to be a really good duelist...that is until I lost my best card...After that, I pretty much had to stop dueling." Kaiya says, looking up at her ceiling.
^Why?^ The spirit demands.
"Because all of my cards support that one card, and without it..." Kaiya shakes her head.
A few hours later, Kaiya's body is standing in front of the Duelist Kingdom's ship. She grins menacingly.
^It's all fine to me. If you won't duel, then I will!^ The spirit says as she walks onto the ship, once again possessing Kaiya's body.
