2. Meeting of the Two Halves

Kaiya sits up in her bed, and stretches. She stands up, grabs her book bag, and walks out the door, toward school. She sighs as she collapses into her seat in her Literature class.

"Hey, Kaiya." A voice says from above her. She opens on eye, and looks at the person.

"Hey, Joey." Kaiya says, stretching. Joey looks at her with a strange look. "What is it?" She asks, looking at Joey in confusion. His eyebrows furrow.

"Hey, have you......been sleeping enough?" Joey asks with an intent look on his face.

"Um......" She puts her index finger against her chin. "I think so." She looks at Joey. "Why?"

"Well, it looks like you have bags under your eyes." Joey says, still staring at Kaiya with unsure eyes.

"Well, I don't kno-" Kaiya begins, only to get interrupted by an all to familiar voice.

"What are you doing over on this side of the room, Wheeler?" Seto demands, walking up next to Kaiya's desk. She glares at him.

"What the hell's your problem, Seto? We're just talking!" Kaiya says, glaring at Seto. He looks at her.

"My problem is that, that-" Seto points toward Joey. "Is polluting the air that you breath." He says, glaring at Joey. Kaiya sighs.

"How many times do I have to tell you that we broke up over two years ago, and Joey just happens to be a friend of mine now. So....bug off!" Kaiya says, waving her hand in a shoo motion. Seto's eyes narrow when he sees the bracelets.

"Who gave them to you?" He demands. Kaiya looks at him with confused eyes.

"Gave me.....oh! You mean these?" Kaiya asks, raising her wrist. Seto nods. "Well....." She puts her index finger against her chin again. "I can't remember his name..." She says. Seto glares harder at her. "Oh! Come on!" She smiles. "I'm just kidding! I bought them from the market a few blocks from my house." Seto shakes his head, grabs his bag, and sits down in his seat.

"Are you sure you should be pushing his patience?" Joey whispers, glancing toward Seto.

"Not to worry." Kaiya says as she stands up. Joey looks at her with confusion as she walks out of the class room.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going, Murana? Class is about to start!" The teacher says as he walks into the room. Kaiya sighs as she turns around to look at him. "Hey. You don't look too good." He walks up to her, and places his hand against her forehead. "Do you feel sick? You have bags under your eyes." He says in a worried voice. Kaiya turns around to glare at him.

"Why does everyone keep saying that! I am not sick!" Kaiya yells, glaring at the teacher with a murderous look. The teacher takes a step back. She turns, and walks out of the classroom. The teacher stands there, watching the door as it swings to a close.

"Well." He turns to the class. "Lets start class." He says.

Meanwhile, Kaiya is walking toward her locker when she begins to hear a stranger's voice once again.

^Why don't you go back and kill him? After all, he did just insult us.^ The voice says in a mocking voice. Kaiya continues to walk, her eyes narrowing and the darkness under them continuing to grow as she goes.

*What the hell is wrong with everyone today!* Kaiya shouts within her mind as she grins evilly. She stops when she gets to her locker, opens it, and grabs her books. She walks out of the school, but not before glaring at those that walked past her.

Kaiya opens her house door, and walks inside. As she goes to walk past the living room, she hears someone jump to their feet. She turns to see her brother, Akito. He looks at her in confusion.

"Are you not feeling well?" He asks, taking a step toward her. She turns to glare at him. He stops instantly at the murderous look on her face.

"Stay away from me." Kaiya demands. Akito looks at her with an unsure look.

"What's been wrong with you the last few days? You haven't been yourself." Akito says, eyes growing soft.

^He's pitying you. He thinks you're weak and useless.^ That same voice says. Kaiya's eyes narrow.

"Don't pity me! That's a very bad idea!" She says, taking a step backwards. Akito looks at her with a confused look.

"I wasn't pitying you....were on earth did you get an idea like that? We're equal, remember. Neither of us has the right to pity the other." Akito says. Kaiya's eyes revert back to their original way.

^Don't you see the way he's looking at you! He's fooling you into thinking that he thinks you're equal!^ The voice says. Kaiya's eyes widen before going back to their evil edge.

"You can't fool me!" Kaiya shouts as she runs up the steps, and into her room. She locks the door, and collapses onto her bed.

*I feel so....tired.* She mutters as she leans against her headboard. She sighs as she closes her eyes.

^That's only to be expected.^ The voice says. Kaiya sighs as she opens one of her eyes. Both of them snap open when she sees the stranger standing in her room.

"Who the hell are you!" She demands, jumping to her feet, and stands in a fighting stance.

^Don't you recognize me?^ The stranger grins evilly, and Kaiya's eyes widen.

"You......you're the voice that I've been hearing all day!" Kaiya shouts, glaring at the stranger that looks oddly familiar.

^Yes. I am you're darker half...^ The stranger states as if it's obvious. Kaiya's eyes widen.

"My....dark half?" She mutters, slightly confused.

^Yes. I've been sealed within your bracelets for over a millennia. As soon as you put them on, I can to the surface of your mind, and made my way into your consciousness, where I am now sitting in the passengers seat.^ The stranger says with a grin. Kaiya glares at the stranger.

"So you were the reason I felt such strong hatred toward Yugi the other day!" Kaiya says, pointing toward the stranger, who frowns.

^Yugi.....Yugi.....Oh! You mean the holder of the Millennium Puzzle? Yeah, I am the reason behind that.^ The stranger says. They both turn toward the door when they hear it open, and see Akito.

"Who in the world are you talking to? Please tell me it's not yourself." Akito says, walking into the room. Kaiya sighs.

"No. I'm talking to her." Kaiya says, pointing toward the stranger. Akito looks toward where Kaiya's pointing, only to turn back to her with raised eyebrows.

"I......don't see anyone." Akito says, sounding worried. Kaiya's eyes widen.

"How can you not see her? She's standing right there!" Kaiya says, motioning toward the stranger.

"There's no one there, sister." Akito says in a worried voice. Kaiya shakes her head.

*Why can he not see her?* She demands.

^Because I can only be seen by you. No one else is able to see me.^ The stranger says, grinning wickedly.

"You bastard!" Kaiya shouts, glaring at the stranger.

"Well, I think I'm going to leave you to your discussion. Come down in half an hour to eat." Akito says, walking out of the room, and closing the door.

"How dare you! You made me look like an insane person!" Kaiya shouts, pointing toward the stranger.

^I had absolutely nothing to do with that! You did that on your own. Oh, and if you don't want him to think you're even more insane, I suggest you lower your voice.^ The stranger says with a grin. Kaiya sighs, and collapses to her bed.

"Dammit!" Kaiya glares at the stranger. "So, how the hell do I get rid of you?" She demands.

^You don't. I'm a part of you now.^ The stranger says, shaking her head. Kaiya lays down, turning away from the stranger. ^What....do you think you're doing?^ The stranger demands.

"Ignoring you." Kaiya says simply as she closes her eyes, and falls asleep.
