Raise elsewhere
By Sandi
FYI: I do not own yugioh or any of it's characters. the only thing i got it the plot and it came to me at a very wired moment - trust me you don't want to know. at all.
But anyways, enjoy.
Summary: Yugi, guardian of the dark and light lake, had been in the shadow realm for as long as he could remember. As far as he was concerned he was born here... So what if he was just a little different? it wasn't like he was weak or anything, He was the strongest being around... well one of them anyways. life was fine... life...was at least bearable . Now if these so called things, that call themselves humans, would stop drooping in and changing his schedule and habits then life would be perfect... or very close to it anyways. I mean come on, Yugi was guardian, there's a lot to be done... and it seemed only he could do it.

but seriously what did you expect? bunny's that didn't eat meat? monsters that had no gender? a sky that was real and didn't have three moons?... what crazy realm did you come from?... if bunny's don't eat meat then what did they eat? plants?
...tsk, no wonder your life is so boring. you've got it easy. Yugi? he's got it worse. much, much worse.
Prologue – He's gone
*Somewhere in the middle of Egypt*
**BOOM**
As the dust settled after the loud noise, a man and women walked over the rubble that they had made and entered the tomb and looked around.
"Theses artifacts are amazing, almost five thousand years old and they're still in perfect condition." The man said as he ran his fingers along a wall with images engraved into them. His other hand running though his short, spiked, blotched, black and red hair.
"I know dear, we'll be able to raise our child so well with the wealth we'll make from these. He will be a fine child, my baby. Nothing is going to hurt him." Said the beautiful lady with pale, gold hair and amethyst eyes. She held wonder and excitement in those eyes.
The man looked back, a worried expression on his face. "You sure it's healthy for you to be here? It can't be good for the boy, what with all the dust around."
"Don't worry bout it, I still have about two weeks left before the big day." Answered the lady as she walked ahead of the man. A loving smile on her face.
"….you still need to be careful. what if you trip?" said the man with a worried look.
"Oh, fine. Just five more minutes and I'll be out." signed lady said as she came upon a glass case engraved into the wall, with a strange yet fascinating triangular pendant inside.
Suddenly, as she was just about to touch the glass, a bright light flashed from the case, blinding the two people in the room.
As the light settled the two in the room where silent, wondering what it was that triggered the light. It was a few seconds before they heard a slight noise.
*...drip...drip...drip...*
"AGhh" the woman screamed as she clutched her now empty stomach and fell to her knees. The man worried, ran up to the lady but was shocked greatly as he ended up stepping into a pool of blood, dripping down the ladys' thighs.
"it's...he's... Yu...gi..." the lady panted in pain. "...my little baby... he's...gone." She said as tears ran down her face.
The man truly didn't know what to do. What have i done?... what... have we ever done to deserve this? the man asked the gods above as he lifted the lady up, intent on bring her to the nearest medical aid he could find. Even if it was about three days away.
In the shadow realm out in the distant, a faint sound could be heard.
"...waah...wraah..."
The female kuriboh seemed to be the only one who could hear it. Curious the kuriboh floated further and further away from land, closer to the thing that was making the sound. If any of the other beings notices their companion's strange behavior, they ignored it.
The faint crying could be heard clearer the closer the kuriboh move into the e-lake. It was a while before the kuriboh made it to the middle of the lake - it was a big lake. How ever once the kuriboh got there she was surprised to find this strange... thing - a youngling of something she concluded, bathing in both of the falls that the beings here depended on.
Finding the youngling-thing strange yet slightly...cute the kuriboh tried to pick it up gently with it's claws and was worried when she accidentally hurt it, then really surprised when the light essence, on it's own accord, healed the wound for the youngling.
Finely succeeding to pick up the youngling, the kuriboh looked the youngling over in detail as she made her way back to her groups' cave.
The youngling had ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes, two chubby arms, two chubby legs, a petty mouth, a petty noise, other then his rosy cheeks; his fur-less skin was pale white and the little bit of fur that it had came in three colors and cupped its'... - 'he' the kuriboh concluded - head, which made about a third of its'-he's mass, nicely. But the cutest, most fascinating thing was he's eyes. a deep violet they where.
She would keep this youngling, raise it just like her own. Or she would die trying, she decided. It was too cute for anything else.
FYI: In case you didn't know this chapter was the prologue for the story, so not much happened. I know it's short and all and I promise I'll try to make the next longer.
Also: yes I do know that youngling is not really a word, but I don't care, I needed something to call all baby's that didn't have to do with humans and it was the only thing I could think of. Must admit though, after a while... it grows on ya.
Anyways ...as life is in the way latly, I will most likely only update about two times every month, three if I'm lucky. and I'll say this ahead of time but I'm sorry if I end up breaking this promise. life really is busy lately.
That's all for now. Review if you liked it. i haven't got any imaginary cookies to give you,... but you'll make me fell good. and thats got to count for something right?
