Hey, guys! Good news is... I'm not dead! Bad news... it's been over a year since my last update. Sorry to any of you have been waiting. I know I hate it when an author does this, but at the same time it makes me super happy when they FINALLY update. Hope you guys enjoy and that I haven't lost my passion for this series (The series I'm writing. Don't worry, I still love Yu-Gi-Oh!).

Chapter 2: New Tenants

Yuma P.O.V.

Sneaking throughout town with two strangely dressed people who were historical figures and immortal was so not easy. We would've bought them clothes, but not only did I doubt that they made clothes for people as tall as Natsumi, we didn't have any money with us, even Shark. Despite this, we somehow made it to my house without getting spotted.

I turned to Natsumi and Yusei before we entered and said, "My Mom and Dad probably will recognize you guys on the spot, they are adventurers and history nerds, but I'm pretty sure they'll promise to keep you guys a secret. My grandma too, and Kari probably will too if Mom and Dad tell her to."

Natsumi and Yusei nodded, and we proceeded to tip toe into my house. We didn't want Kari catching the scent of a news story without my Mom and Dad being able to be able to put a stop to it. I went in first followed by Yusei, Natsumi, Shark and then Bronk. I hear a solid thud behind me and a female voice crying out "ow!". I look back to see a hanging light swinging back and forth and Nastumi rubbing her forehead.

"Tori, is that you? Did you stub your toe on that loose floor board again? I keep on telling Yuma's dad that he needs to fix it, but he's told me he's busy studying an artifact from the Turbo Dueling era." My mother's voice asked from the kitchen, its sound gradually growing closer. My mom came to the hallway to the front door. She looked shock at the collection of people standing there.

"Your friends do know that Halloween passed a few months ago, right Yuma?" She asked.

"Well, it's nice to know that Halloween is still around." Natsumi muttered.

"Still around?" My mom questioned, a curious and hopeful expression on her face.

"Mom, I'd like to introduce to you, the real deals, the brother and sister of the Turbo Dueling era, Nastumi Calico and Yusei Fudo."

"Yuma?"

"Yeah, Mom?"

"You're not joking, right?"

"No way! These people are the real deal!"

"I-I don't know how it's possible… but if Yuma says it's true it's gotta be."

"You're going to accept it, just like that?" Natsumi questioned, sounding skeptical.

"Yuma, his father, and I have seen some strange things in our life time, his friends too. You kind of get used to having to accept the weird and crazy after a while." She replied. "Now, come on in and take a seat in the living room. I've got so many questions to ask you, and I'm sure my husband does too."

"Yo, Natsumi, Yusei, you guys cool with me calling some friends over and inviting them for this chat?" I asked once we were comfortably sitting in the living room. Well, most of us were. Natsumi looked like she was tempted to switch spots with me and sit on the floor instead. She was leaned full back in the couch and her knees were still higher than her hips. Guess being tall has its problems.

"How many?" Yusei questioned.

"Well, let's see. There's Rio, Tori, Cathy, Flip-"

Natsumi sighed. "You can only invite three more here and no one else can know. The more people that know the more likely that it will get out. I don't want historians, archeologists, and paparazzi all over our rear ends."

"In that case we should invite my sister, Tori and Cathy over. They're good at keeping a tight lip." Shark decided.

Footsteps thundered throughout the house. Mom must've finally found dad. It didn't take long for him to get to the living room and the moment he did, he was on Natsumi like me on duel fuel.

He touched the golden strip across her forehead. He whistled. "This is a legitimate mark. Did you know that this goes all the way to your skull? We have found many skeletons from your era that have golden markings left over from when they were alive."

The room echoed with a resounding slap as Natsumi slapped my father across the face. No one could blame her. A complete stranger getting close and touching your face is pretty uncomfortable.

My father quickly backed off. "Right, we just met. Sorry about that." He apologized with a grin, then a wince. A red mark in the shape of a hand had been left on his left cheek. He messaged his jaw. "That's quite a slap you got there."

Natsumi just glared at him.

The rest of my family quickly assembled and Rio, Tori, and Cathy were over on no time flat.

"So, why are we all gathered here? I asked Yuma over the phone, but he said to just come over." Tori grumbled.

"You'll see." I grinned, and leaned back, forgetting I had no back to lean on, and I frantically flailed my arms, but I still crashed on my back.

"I have a request." Natsumi started.

"Yes?" My father asked.

"A few actually. Me and my brother do not wish any of this to be made public, so we'd appreciate if you guys kept quiet about who we really are." She continued, eyeing my sister who had her notebook and pen ready to go. "Secondly, we need a place to stay seeing as we have no money and can't use our identities to buy a home for ourselves, and I've been sleeping in the forest for the past two hundred years, so I have no interest living there. Third, can you guys help us find jobs where we can use an alias? Fourth, obviously if we have no money for a home, we have no money for clothing or make up to hide our scars and marks. Can you help us there too?"

"Sure, we can keep you guys a secret." My mom agreed. "As for housing you guys, you would have to share the basement. Is that fine?"

They both nodded.

"As for jobs and clothes…"

"Oh! I know something perfect for you guys and I actually have connections there so I can get you jobs there with no questions asked. Plus, it'd be perfect for you!" My father piped up.

"What is it?" Yusei asked.

"Recently some history teachers quit at duel academy to teach at colleges and universities, and get this, two of them taught on the Turbo Dueling era."

"Sounds good." Natsumi agreed.

"Then I think we can manage on clothes and makeup. We'll have to order your clothes, Natsumi, but we can get both of you stuff more modern." My mom finished.

"Thank you. You can now question us." Natsumi permitted.

"How is it possible that you are still alive after all this time?" My dad questioned, getting serious. "I mean, you both lived past 100 according to your grave markers, and then you lived another two hundred to get to this time period. That makes both of you well over three hundred years old."

Tori's, Rio's, and Cathy's jaws dropped.

Yusei's face became grim and Natsumi's became dark and she snarled, "Because the spirits refuse to let us rest in peace. I thought my time of difficulty and strife was over when I settled down with Jesse and we had our children, and they had children, and their children had children. But Yusei and I never aged a day since we fought and defeated an old foe of mine. Our family members grew old and died. At one point we all believed Yusei was dead and he was buried, but in reality he was in a deep sleep. He remained there only until my supposed death and he took me and a few of my belongings to the forest where I have been sleeping for two hundred years. The spirits will not let us rest in peace and reunite with our families. For some reason, they refuse to."

"The spirits?" Tori questioned.

"Yes, I had to fight one named Death after my sister killed me in a Weapons Choice Duel for our two worlds and another one was in charge of my destiny, which I have completed but for some reason they still won't freaking let me die." She grumbled.

The questions went on and my parents found answers to some questions that had been unanswered for the longest time about their era.
