Chapter 11

Author's Note – Happy New Year everyone! I would just like to remind everyone that though this storyline and the original characters and places belong to me, Yu-Gi-Oh and its original characters; namely their parents, do not belong to me.

Olivia is tightly holding on to the grips of her seat as the plane began to till upward, like a missile taking off into space until she hears three faint dings.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. Meaning that the plane is safely on route to its destination of Los Angles, California and you may now move around the cabin. But while you are seated it is strongly recommened that you keep your seatbelt fastened. In fifteen minutes, myself and the other flight attendants will be offering you complementary blankets, pillows, a drink and a light snack. Please enjoy your flight. Thank you"

"I always have trouble with the taking off part" Olivia says telepathically to Naijya, turning her head to face her. "I would think that you are not afraid of anything given your recent actions" she responds, lowering her eyes in order to prevent another outburst. "I have more of a reason to be afraid of you. I mean you're a spirit that I believe has a connection with Atem, I had to relive the last moments of your life which as you know was awful and my parents have no idea where I am right now." Oliva clarifies, shifting her body to face Naijya, "Now I need to figure out how to transfer you to Atem, Skyler and Anya. They are the ones that do the dueling while again my family is on the sidelines. I'm supposed to the supporter in this situation, the witness, not the one figuring out everything else." Shaking her head, Naijya asks, "I do not understand why you cannot be the one to help me? You are the one that is capable of going to such extreme lengths to get what you want. I need someone like that."

"But you don't understand, this is not how the original story goes. This is too much like Yugi's story to be a coincidence. Boy gets possessed, weird things start to happen, boy and friends have to save the world. That's the order, that's how it's supposed to go." Olivia's face scrunches in pain as she starts to lose her breath again; "this doesn't make any sense." "Not everything has to make perfect sense or fit neatly into perfect little boxes." Naijya soothes, tilting her head to meet Olivia's eyes; softly smiling at her. "Right now, you are the only person that I can trust and I can't lose you. So please stay with me?" Nodding, she replies, "I will, I'm sorry I'm just scared. My father told me they went on some dark paths and that Yugi was the target of most of the bad things that have happened because of the spirit that possessed him."

Naijya hovers her hand over Olivia's, closing the empty space between them. "We are going to be ok, we just need to stick together and have faith that this is going to work out. But I think you need to do something first.". Following her eyes, she sees that she is staring at her cellphone, "Call Zumi, you're right. But how did you know about her?" she questions, moving her body away from the spirit beside her, "I can sense her presence in your heart and she means a lot to you." Closing her eyes, she shakes her head and takes out her phone. "here goes nothing".

James William Park, a beautiful upper class suburban neighborhood is located just outside of Bodhi is known for its breathtaking Victorian style homes and the famous actors, supermodels and writers that inhabit them in the summers. On Orchard Street, a gorgeous, blue Victorian style home houses Bakura, his husband Ayato Miyazaki and their daughter Kuzumi. When Atem left for the afterlife, Bakura was also freed from Yami Bakura's presence. Five years later, he decided to write a short story called, 'Letters to my Sister' hoping that he could finally let go of that part of his past as well.

Publishers found his work on the internet and asked him to write a longer, more in-depth story. So exactly one year later Bakura publishes his most successful series to date, "Possession" an eight book series about his life and entrapment by the spirit of the ring. This series becomes both a Japan and New York Times Bestseller, causing it to be translated in over one hundred and ten different languages and earning him millions of dollars. During a business meeting about the cover art for his next book he meets Ayato, an up and coming artist himself. Over a short period of time he realizes that there was a reason why he did not care when beautiful women would through themselves on him dating back to high school.

After they were married, Bakura was hesitant about the idea of having children because of his fear of something happening to them. But Ayato was patient and consistent, slowly breaking down the barriers that Bakura has built around himself. Following years of convincing and ultimately begging, Bakura breaks down and decides to open this chapter if his life and have a child with the man he loves.

Kuzumi Amane Bakura is asleep in her tufted bed when she hears loud dinging coming from her iPhone 7s Plus. Drowsy, she stretches her arm searching for her phone when she tips over the water bottle she had on her exotic wooden dresser onto the floor. Kuzumi pushes her body forward, rising from the bed to recover her bottle and the phone. Seeing that it's Olivia calling, she swipes to the right and answers, "Olivia, do you realize that it is four in the morning?"

"Really?" Olivia wonders, looking at the digital clock at the front of the plane. "I guess it is…"

"Ladies and Gentleman in just a few moments we are going to be turning off the lights for the passengers who wish to get a few hours of sleep before the plane lands in just six hours" the flight attendant announces through the intercom".

"Plane? You're on a plane?! Olivia what is going on?!" Kuzumi screams, now holding the phone to her face. Raising her shoulders out of guilt, Olivia takes a breath and glances at Naijya who is nodding for her to continue. "Let me explain this in a completely rational way. When I went to the museum yesterday, Forrest told me that my mother was cheating on my father overseas. I ventured off a spirit named Shadi told me that i was destined to do something and then the next thing I know I was feeling the last memories of this other spirit Naijya's life. The spirit is with me now, kinda like Yugi and Atem and I caught Serenity in bed with the same man Forrest told me about and now I'm on a plane heading to Japan" Olivia rambles, having to catch her breath at the end.

Kuzumi, dumbfounded, just stares at her phone for three minutes until she responds. "Are you ok and where in Japan are you going" taking a deep breath before continuing. "I need to know where you are." Closing her eyes, Olivia ponders this for a moment and replies

"No"

Shocked and slightly hurt Kuzumi holds the phone to her ear again, "What do you mean no? you tell me everything?" "I know that you'll tell Serenity or your dads the first chance that you get and I can't afford that right now. Don't try tracing this phone because it's one of those older flip phones that I found in my closet and I'm going to be getting rid of it pretty soon just in case". Feeling tears starting to well in her eyes, she tightly shuts her eyes and let some roll on the sides of her soft, square shaped face. "How am I supposed to know you're ok? You said something about spirits as well? You're my best friend, my only friend. Just come home and we can work this out" she manages to choke out before lifting her right hand to wipe her face.

Feeling tears form in her own face, she sits back in her seat and lets a few fall before hitting her head against the headrest. "I'll be ok, I have money and the means to get to where I need to go. I'll be changing phones every day until I come home and every few days, I'll text you a number. I promise that I will find a way to contact you every day but I know that if I tell you everything you will tell your dads; you guys don't have many secrets. I know you don't understand but I want you, I need you to trust me." Shaking her head, Kuzumi replies, "I have never known you to be this selfish! You're right I don't understand but I never took you for a coward that runs away from their problems." Taking the phone away from her head, Olivia wipes the sweat from her head and pauses for moment. "I can't go back home, not now…" she thinks in her head, "I'll be here for you".

"I'm so sorry Zumi, I'll call you the second that I land tomorrow" Olivia tries, clutching the pink phone as if it was a lifeline "Don't bother" Kuzumi whispers, angrily pressing the power button.

Closing her flip phone, she beings to start sobbing, feeling as though she just lost the last person that she trusted and was closest to her. "shh..., people are starting to wake up" Naijya tries but to no avail as her host's cries become louder and lower. Waving her hands down, she tries to get her attention but again to no avail. Scared, Naijya glances at Olivia's 'Faith' necklace and suddenly, the entire world flashes in light; like the finale of a fireworks show or rays of light shining vibrantly from the sun.

Naijya turns her head away for a second and then opens her eyes again. Nervous, she looks around and realizes that she is in the same airplane but can actually feel the arm rest. Looking down at herself, she sees Olivia's purple bag on the floor at her feet. Confused, she looks next to her and sees Olivia sleeping on the right side of her. Her eyes widen and reaches out to touch Olivia, only for her hand to go right through her.

"Oh my…"
