Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Power of Two: Yami Bakura and Yugioh ❯ A Friendly Visit ( Chapter 5 )

Recap: Yugi and friends went on a relaxing boat ride. The weather was just absolutely perfect for one. Yugi and Bakura were enjoying the calm weather and sea when the sea started to get rough. They clung to the railing of the ship the best they could, but a big wave sent them overboard. They spent the next day and a half floating out to sea on a rubber raft. Yugioh, Yami Bakura and the Coast Guard were tireless in their search, and found Yugi and Bakura at the mercy of the waves again, this time a hurricane is the culprit. Yugioh forces the waves back as the Coast Guard helps Yugi and Bakura into the helicopter. Bakura gets aboard fine, but when Yugi is lifted, he is dumped out of the basket when a gust tips it over. Yami Bakura saved him though, and they got Yugi and Bakura back safely.

Chapter 5: A Friendly Visit

It was a lovely night in the Pridelands. Simba and I went flying through the lands.
"What do you think Yugi and Yugioh are doing?" I asked.
"I don't know Keisha," Simba responded.
"They have had some really rough times. A few days ago, Yugi got home from being lost at sea for a couple of days," the Great Spirit said.
"That's horrible," I said.
"Yes it is," Simba said.
Meanwhile, it was just getting dark in the Yugioh world. Yugi was still recovering from his terrible experience.
'I don't want to have an experience like that again,' he thought.
*Yugi?*
/Keisha?/
*Yes, are you okay?*
/Yes, I'm fine/
~The Great Spirit told us a little bit of your terrible experience~
//Yes, it was horrible. I'm glad that Yami Bakura and I got to him and our friend Bakura in time with the Coast Guard//
*Who's Bakura and Yami Bakura?*
//Just like Yugi and me, Bakura and Yami Bakura look alike//
~Oh~
*Okay. Have a good night*
/Good night/
"Yugi, time to eat," Solomon said.
"Okay Grandpa," Yugi said. He went into the kitchen and ate his dinner.
Half an hour afterwards, he took a bath and got into his pajamas. Three hours later, he was asleep. Meanwhile, Bakura was taking the experience at sea much harder. He only came out of his room to eat and bathe. His father and Yami Bakura were very worried. Yami Bakura was currently in the room with Bakura.
"Don't let this experience get to you down Bakura. Your father and I are very worried about you," Yami Bakura said.
"I can't help it. I can only think of what would've happened if you and Yugioh didn't make it in time," Bakura said.
"Bakura," Yami Bakura sighed.
Back in the Pridelands, Simba and I were swimming in the lake. We swam with the fish, turtles and the other marine life.
"This is a very peaceful swim," I said.
"Yes. It is very peaceful," Simba said.
\\Don't let this get to you Bakura\\
\I'm trying Yami, but I can't stop thinking about what could've happened\
"Who was that?" I asked.
"I don't know. One of them sounds worried, and the other seems scared of something," Simba responded.
*Bakura?*
Bakura heard the voice in his head. Yami Bakura also heard it through the link he shared with Bakura.
"Who was that?" Bakura asked. If he were thinking straight, he would've already known.
"That was Keisha," Yami Bakura responded.
*Bakura?*
"Answer her," Yami Bakura said.
"Okay," Bakura said. \Yes Keisha\
*How did you know my name?*
\We heard the conversation you had with Yugi and Yugioh in our minds before they were sent to your world/
~Who's we?~
\My Yami and me\
~Who's your Yami?~
\\I am Yami Bakura\\
*What's wrong with Bakura?*
\\He is having a difficult time getting over his lost at sea experience. He only thinks about what would've happened if Yugioh and I didn't make it time\\
~Stop thinking about that Bakura. You and Yugi are safe in your homes~
\I know Simba, but...\
*No buts Bakura. You're safe; that's all that matters*
\You're right. Thank you\
~You're welcome~
*No problem. Good night*
\Good night\
\\Good night\\
Bakura laid down on his bed and slept.
'Sleep well Bakura,' Yami Bakura thought.
Bakura did sleep well. He thought of what his Yami kept telling him, as well as Simba's and my encouragement that he was safe for the tme being. Yugi was also sleeping well under Yugioh's protective watch.
'I hope that Keisha and Simba can visit us,' Yugioh thought.
Yugi was thinking the exact same thing. He wanted Simba and me to visit. 'I hope to see them again. They and their friends and family were very nice,' he thought.
Meanwhile, I was wondering waht Yugi and Yugioh's world was like. 'I'll probably find a lot of city people there where they're from,' I thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Simba asked.
"I want to see Yugi and Yugioh's world. I'm sure it's interesting," I responded.
Suddenly, a portal appeared in front of us.
"Swim into the portal, and you will get your chance," the Great Spirit said.
Simba and I swam through the portal. A few moments later, we came out. We surfaced to find ourselves in a lake. We looked around and saw trees, buildings, cars and other people. We stayed underwater the rest of the night. The next morning, I felt pretty sleepy.
"Do you want to sleep during the night like Yugi?" Simba asked.
"That would be good," I responded.
Simba made the adjustment for me, and I was wide awake. We surfaced and swam for shore. Simba got out first. He used his powers on me, and I walked out of the water. My clothes appeared immediately.
"Let's go for a walk," I said.
"Okay. Get on my back though. That way, the people won't think that I escaped from a laboratory," Simba said.
I nodded and got on Simba's back. He walked out of the park and into the city. I was amazed by the beauty of the city. As Simba said, the people didn't think that he escaped. Some reporters and cameramen were in the area. They were just talking to one another when they heard the commotion.
One of the cameramen looked where the noise was coming from and gasped in amazement.
"What is it?" one of the reporters asked.
"There's a girl riding on the back of a lion over there," the cameraman responded as he pointed his camera in Simba's and my direction.
The reporters and other cameramen looked and were very amazed to see that there was a girl on a lion.
"That's not as amazing as Yugioh and Yami Bakura, but it's pretty close," another reporter said.
"Yeah," another cameraman said.
Meanwhile, Yugi and the gang were watching a Nascar race. It was suddenly interrupted.
"We interrupt the program for an amazing site. As you can see, there is a girl on a lion's back. Amazingly, the lion hasn't even moved to hurt her," the reporter said.
"That's Keisha and Simba," Yugi said.
"Do you want to greet them?" Yugioh asked.
"I'd love to," Yugi happily responded.
Yugi and Yugioh walked outside, and Yugioh picked Yugi up. Yugioh spread his wings and flew off.
/Keisha/
*Yugi, hi! How are you?*
/I'm fine. How are you?/
*I'm fine*
//Can you ant Simba stay where you are and keep your side of the link open. I can find you from here//
*Okay Yugioh*
~We're not going anywhere anyway~
Yugioh flew in the direction of the link. He landed the location half an hour later. He put Yugi down. Simba and I were as excited to see Yugi and Yugioh as they were to see us. I got off Simba's back and went to hug Yugi and Yugioh. Afterwards, I got on Simba's back again.
"Keisha, Simba, it's very nice to see you again," Yugioh said.
"Likewise Yugioh, Yugi," Simba said.
The people around and in the vicinity were very amazed to hear Simba talk.
"You know this lion and the girl?" a police officer asked.
"Yes, the girl is Keisha, and the lion is Simba," Yugioh responded. "This is true, even if you choose not to believe it. Keisha and Simba are siblings," he added.
Everyone, including those watching television, gasped. They could barely believe it. I sighed. Simba couldn't blame me because he felt like doing the same thing.
"Here we go again," I said.
"I know," Simba said.
"How are you two brother and sister?" the resporter asked.
"I don't want to talk about it," I responded.
"Would you prefer if I told them?" Yugioh asked.
"Yes. I'm tired of explain it over and over," I responded.
Yugioh explained to the people how Simba and I were siblings. He told them exactly what I told him when he propped the question. The people were amazed to here that what they thought was a movie was actually real.
"Let's head back to the game shop," Yugi said.
"Okay," Simba and I said.
Yugioh picked up Yugi and flew off. Simba soon followed. We landed at the game shop in half an hour, and put Yugioh put Yugi down. Joey and the others were standing outside waiting for us. I got off Simba's back and stood beside him. That's when the others saw how short I was.
"Wow, we thought Yugi had bully trouble. You probably have it worse than him," Joey said.
"It's true that I'm short. But don't underestimate me. I can defend myself very well. I am also a good fighter," I said.
Then Bakura and Yami Bakura stepped forward. Just like Yugioh said, they looked exactly alike.
"Hello Keisha, Simba, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," Bakura said.
"Likewise," I said.
Yugioh came toward me. He scooped me up and slowly spun me around a few times. I laughed as he spun me around. He spun me around five more times. Then he spread his wings and flew off. The others smiled and went inside.
"Let's let them have their have fun," Yugi said.
The others agreed. Yugioh was high in the sky by now. I was looking down at the city. I was amazed by how beautiful it looked.
"The city is beautiful," I said.
"Compared to the Pridelands, it's ordinary," Yugioh said. "I couldn't stop thinking about your amazing performance at the circus."
"I couldn't either," I said.
"You were outstanding. To be able to do stunts without a safety net is exceptional," he said.
"I try my best," I said.
Then Yugioh transported me to his back. I stood up and did a handstand.
"Do you want to try your advance move with me?" Yugioh asked.
"All right," I responded. I made sure I had a good grip.
Yugioh went into a loop. I put my legs in number four position. A few moments later, the stunt was done. I got back in the standing position.
"Let's air surf," I said.
"Okay," Yugioh said. He flew on as I stayed standing on him.
We were like that for two hours. Suddenly, a flock of hybrids flew our way. The hybrids had the wings and heads of eagles, and the bodies of cheetahs. One of them grabbed my shoulders and flew off.
"Oh no you don't!" Yugioh shouted as he started to fly after it.
The other hybrids blocked his way. There were twenty of them in all. Then two more figures appeared beside Yugioh.
"Looks like you could use a little help," Yami Bakura said.
"That's why we're here," Simba said.
"All right, let's take care of them," Yugioh said.
The hybrids attacked. Even though they had laser power, ice power and electrical power, they were no match for Simba, Yugioh and Yami Bakura. The hybrids were destroyed in half an hour. By then, the one with me was far out of sight.
"Yami Bakura, you and Simba go back to Yugi and the others. I'll get Keisha," Yugioh said.
"Okay. Good Luck," Simba said as he and Yami Bakura flew in the game shop.
Yugioh felt that my mind was open. He fixed in my location and flew in that direction. Meanwhile, Simba and Yami Bakura had mentally told Yugi and Bakura what happened. Yugi then clued the others in.
Meanwhile, Yugioh was closing in on the hybrid holding me prisoner. //Keisha//
*Yugioh?*
//Yes. Stay calm. I'm almost upon you now//
I sighed in relief. The hybrid flew on, unaware that Yugioh gained on it with each passing second. Ten minutes later, the hybrid was over a raging river. It flew down and put me in it.
Yugioh flew down to fish me out of the river. The hybrid attacked. It wanted to keep him occupied until he was too late to save me. However, Yugioh wasn't in the mood to play games right now. When the hybrid came by, it got destroyed by Yugioh's touch. Yugioh used the element of fire through his finger.
Then Yugioh flew above the river to find me. I was in the rapids. They were extremely rough. I was in them for half an hour. Then I came to and went over the waterfall. I was going down fast. It was so fast, that I didn't realize when Yugioh caught me a few moments later. He flew out of the falling water and hovered. I then felt the air around me. I looked down to see that I was in midair. I looked up to see Yugioh holding me.
"Are you all right?" he asked.
"I am now thanks to you," I responded. "Can we head back to Yugi and the others?" I added.
"Sure," Yugioh said. He flew for the game shop. He dried himself and me off with a little heat energy.
My fin changed back into legs, and my clothes reappeared. *Simba*
~Keisha! Are you all right?~
*I am now, thanks to Yugioh*
~Thank you for saving my sister~
//No problem Simba//
/I'm just glad that Keisha's all right/
\Me too\
\\Me three\\
Yugioh arrived at the game shop a few hours later. He landed and put me down. The others were waiting outside. Yugi and Simba ran over to me.
"Thank goodness you're all right," Yugi said as he hugged me.
We separated a few minutes later, and Simba and I hugged. It started to get dark.
"Well, we'll see you tomorrow Yug'. Maybe we all can go to the park," Joey said.
"The park will be good compared to what I went through," I said.
Joey, Te`a, Tristan, Kaiba and Mokuba, Bakura and Yami Bakura left for their homes. Simba and I went into the shop.
"Who sent those creatures?" I asked.
"The evil sorcerer, who else," Yugioh responded.
"My thoughts exactly," Simba said.
Yugi had his dinner and sat on the couch. I sat beside him. A few hours later, we prepared to sleep. Yugioh turned the sofa into a bed. Yugi got in it. I was doubtful because I was used to sleeping on the ground.
"Come on Keisha; it's all right. You gave me a lot of good experiences. You can call this a start to returning the favor," Yugi said.
I nodded. The bed was a little too high for me so Yugioh put me on it. He then made a chair appear next to the bed. He sat in it, and Simba just sat on the ground. Yugioh and Simba watched over Yugi and me as we slept.
//So, was the evil sorcerer involved in your return?//
~No, not at all. We just wanted to see you again. The Great Spirit created a portal. We were swimming at that moment, so we just swam through. We arrived in a body of water, and we surfaced to find ourselves in a lake. We stayed for the night. The next day, I made the adjustment so Keisha could sleep when Yugi did.~
Yugi and I slept peacefully in the bed. I enjoyed the soft mattress. I thought back to when I worked for the evil sorcerer. I always got to sleep on a soft bed. I quickly dismissed that thought. I didn't want to dwell on the part my past that dealt with the evil sorcerer.



Another chapter bites the dust. Preview for Chapter 6: A Mermaid? Yugi, the gang, Simba and me go to the park. We have a peaceful time watching the ducks and swans swim. I decide to swim with them and jump into the water. The ducks, swans and I become fast friends. After a little while, I dive underwater, and that's when the gang see my fish tail. How will they react? Stay tuned to find out.
Please review, I love to hear from you.
