Zypher: Well, I was suppose to start on the next chapter for some of my stories but for some reason, this idea will not leave my head so I wanted to write it out and see what you guys will think of it but don't worry, the next chapter for many of my stories will be up soon.

Prologue: Yugi a young teen freshman, of Domino High and all known loner, walks through a dark forest in the middle of a moonless night. What he wasn't expecting was to find a near-blind dragon entering his life. Will he help the dragon regain his sight once more and gain trust from him and the mysterious king of the shadows or will his efforts leave him alone and broken like he was so many times before.

Love Can Have a Blind Eye

Chapter 1

Yugi Motou, the basic loner of the school and moving target for bullies, was running down the street, his most hated enemy right behind him. "Come back here Yugi!" Ushio yelled which caused Yugi to run faster.

It was getting close to night and he was just walking home from the hospital where his grandfather was currently residing in from cancer. His grandfather was the only living relative he had and if he left, he didn't know what he would do.

Unfortunately, Anzu, a so called friend until high school, saw him and called for Ushio who he owed money to for the last three months or so. How this has come to happen, let's go back on Yugi's first day.

-Flashback-

Yugi was happy, very happy as he walked into school. Yes, he was short for his age so many think he was meant for middle school. But he didn't mind them at all. Everything was going great until lunch. He was alone under the sakura tree, eating his lunch when Anzu came up to him. "Hello Yugi. what brings you here?" Anzu said with fake kindness. "Well, I'm starting my new day here at Domino." Yugi said.

"That's wonderful. How is your grandfather?" Anzu asked once more. "He's doing fine, the cancer hasn't gotten worse yet but I'm still worried." Yugi said. Anzu laughed and Yugi looked up to her, shocked. "Well, brat. You better shape up. Not many will care about your problems and you will become an easy target with all these bullies around, especially Ushio." Anzu said.

"Who's Ushio?" Yugi asked, frightened of what Anzu said. "Ushio the most biggest and baddest bully you will see here. I heard he almost killed some kid for not giving him his money. Wouldn't it be a shame if you were next?" Anzu asked before she left. Yugi now was worried and for the rest of the day, tried to avoid many students.

But before the day was over and he could head home, he crashed into a big student which he believed to be Ushio. "So, you're the new kid." Ushio said as he looked down to Yugi. He nodded. "Well, as a new student, I would be glad to give you a tour of the school and all that but as a price, you own me 200,000 yen." Ushio said. Yugi gulped in fear. He didn't have that kind of money and he knew he never will since all the money he would make in the shop would go to his grandfather's surgery.

He nodded and tried to walk past him but he was picked up by his shirt collar and looking into the dark eyes of Ushio. "But every time you don't pay me, expect for a beating and the price being raised 100,000 each time you forget." Ushio growled out as he threw Yugi to the ground before he left.

-End flashback-

After that, Yugi was doing a fairly well job with avoiding Ushio but in turn, he was getting beat up by other kids that worked with Ushio. 'Oh, I wish I had someone that can help me out.' Yugi thought, the far away yells diminishing even more as he found himself running through a dark forest.

He stopped and turned to see there was no sign of Ushio anywhere. He looked around at his surrounding and found out he was lost as well and tonight was a new moon so he never would find the way out now. "Great, I had to go and get myself lost." Yugi scolded to himself and started to walk through the vast dark forest, hoping to find a way out soon.

Somewhere else in the forest, you can see a dark form walking but it was more like stumbling and hitting trees on the way. "Sheesh! I'm half blind and I can't find my way through a forest. Yami is going to kill me if he found out I left." The black form said as he continued to walk through the forest, still hitting trees on the way.

This half blind shadow is known as Aqua. He belonged to a kingdom of shadows that was ruled by the Shadow King named Yami who rules this forest of shadows. He wanted to get out from the palace despite his condition and like the young boy that is wandering the forest now, he is lost as well and with him being half blind didn't help.

'Hopefully my departure will lead me to something interesting tonight.' He thought.

Yugi gave up and sat down by a small tree in the midst of the forest. "I guess I have to wait until morning to get out of here. Hopefully the game shop will be fine tonight." Yugi murmured as he laid back on the tree and closed his eyes, hoping to get some sleep tonight.

Aqua came over the where he was but since he couldn't see well, he didn't know the boy was there but his other four senses told him otherwise. He sniffed around a bit before he caught onto the scent of strawberries and young innocence as he looked over to Yugi's direction.

'How can a small child of such innocence be here?' Aqua thought as he walked over to the sleeping boy and ran a claw down his cheek, feeling the need to help and protect this young child.

He closed one glazed red eye, his right being hidden by a thick curtain of spikes that curled around from the top of his head like bangs. He opened his eye once more and picked up Yugi, now getting a fixed location of where he lived from the boy's mind and spread out his wings and flew off. Yami can wait for a bit, he wanted to help this child and hope to make him feel better from what's ailing him.

Yami himself had a search party looking for Aqua now as he sat on his throne, sighing. His high priest and friend, Seto stood beside him, also feeling bad for the king. Aqua was a friend to them all and seeing him lost somewhere in the forest in his condition made everyone feel sorry for the king. Aqua and Yami had been together ever since birth and they were the best of friends.

But once Yami became king, that's when it happened. The sorcerer of the Sky, Pegasus, hated how the two were friends throughout their life and cast a spell on Aqua to make him slowly go blind. Legend says that the current King of Shadows and anyone very close to him should experience love in order to keep a firm rule over the kingdom. Without love, that shadows shall take over the King and the kingdom will fall apart by rule of a tyrant.

If he could make the bad part of the legend to come true then the people of the kingdom wouldn't trust Yami or Aqua for no one can trust a tyrant to keep a good rule over a kingdom without making laws of death and destruction. Then he can come and take over the kingdom and start a war with the humans. Soon, he will have the world under his thumb to do as he wish.

Yami will not let him get his wish but how can he or Aqua find love? He didn't want to interfere with the humans but none of the people of the shadow interested him. 'Would I dare come out into the world of humans to find someone?' Yami thought before he got up and Seto looked to him. "What is it Yami?" Seto asked. "Seto, you remember the legend of the past Shadow Kings?" Yami asked and Seto nodded.

"What if that's what Aqua is doing? What if he's going out to find someone for us to love?" Yami explained and he had to nod. "You could be right but with his condition, do you think he will find the right person?" Seto asked as they started walking out of the throne room.

"I think he will succeed but we need to find him as well. If none of the women in the Shadow Kingdom interest him then he might do a daring move and go into the world of humans." Yami said.

"Yes, he will be easy to find if Pegasus finds out about this and he might kill him off along with anyone he might find." Seto said. Yami nodded as they stopped by the door that led to the stables.

"Go and get Marik and Bakura. We need to ride out now. If you find anyone on your way, tell them to go and look for the search party to tell them that I still want them to search the forest for any sign of Aqua." Yami said and Seto nodded as he left to find the two executioners who were also good friends of Yami's.

Once Seto was gone, he went through the door into the stables and went over to where the mythical creatures that many humans would have thought weren't real but they reside here in the royal stables. He went over to Niore, his faithful black beast of the darkened lands. He was a mix of a Nightmare gargoyle and a rare breed of Black Bone dragon that are rarely found nowadays.

When he saw Yami, he roared in happiness to see his master again. He nuzzled his hand as he pat his snout. "It's nice to see you as well, Niore." Yami said as he let the beast out from his pen and the beast walked over to him. Yami mounted on his back and held onto the black mane that lined Niore's neck.

"Come on, Niore, Aqua may be somewhere in the human world and I don't want him to get caught by Pegasus if he finds out he's gone from the kingdom." Yami said and Niore nodded as he ran out with immense speed.

Aqua landed by the game shop, tripping up a bit since his landing was a little off but he regained his balance. Yugi was still asleep in his arms, a small smile on his face as he curled up more in Aqua's embrace. He smiled softly before he looked into the boy's mind once more to find out where his room was and went over to the window and climbed inside with a little difficulty.

Once he was inside, he laid Yugi down on the bed and covered him up. 'I don't know what it is but you are different from many but your past is haunting you. I will help you as much as I can before Pegasus finds out I'm here interacting with the humans.' Aqua said as he went under Yugi's bed since he didn't want the boy to fear him before they could get properly acquainted.

As Aqua was getting under Yugi's bed, the boy in question was starting to wake up. 'What happened? How did I get back home?' Yugi wondered as he got up from the bed and saw something black sticking out from under his bed and he knelt down and looked under his bed to see something there and it was moving.

'What could it be?' Yugi thought to himself as he reached over to touch whatever it was and felt the cool scales of the thing under his bed. 'What if it's dangerous? How did it get into my house? Could it have brought me home?' Million of questions ran through his head and he didn't want to ponder on them anymore and hoped that whatever it was didn't hurt him during the night as he went to switch out of his school clothes and into his pajamas and went to bed, dreading going to school tomorrow.

Zypher: Well, that's all for now, please review everyone so we can get to the next chapter and find out what Aqua will do to help out Yugi.
