The Real Cupid and Psyche: Chapter 1

************************************************************************

"Mommy, where are we going?" the boy asked his mother as she led him through the airport.

"Hush Yugi, you're going to stay with your grandpa for a while" she answered, her voice still hoarse from yelling.

~*Flashback*~

Yugi stumbled out of the rain into his house. He entered quietly hoping as not to alert anyone. It was unusually quiet in the house, Yugi waited, not wanting to move from the spot by the door.

He knew it was too good to be true, a crash broke the silence followed by a scream.

"You are not sending Yugi anywhere Neya" a voice rang from the kitchen

Yugi ran into the kitchen, to find his mother cowering on the ground, a mark forming on her check where she had been hit.

"He's not staying in this house, he's not living with jackass father like you, Tsuda he's going"

"Shut up bitch" he hit her again

"Stop!" Yugi ran into the kitchen. He darted in front of his mom and put his arms up, trying to protect her

"Yugi" Neya cried out, she pulled him towards her, so he would not be vulnerable to him.

Tsuda laughed

"Sure, he's going"

He turned and left, the two heard the door slam, and a car engine start in the distance.

Yugi and Neya sat on the cold linoleum. He turned to her and hot tears flowed down his cheeks.

"It's okay Yugi," she hushed him "Everything will be okay"

Yugi choked and hiccupped in her arms.

"Shhh . . . sleep Yugi"

~*End Flashback*~

His mom had been sincere. He really was leaving

Yugi looked up at his mom. He could see her once pretty face, always glowing with a smile, had been replaced by a face lined with tear stains and bruises daring themselves to heal. Her once soft and shiny red hair was now dull and untamed.

When they reached his gate, Neya kneeled and looked her son straight in the face, her crimson eyes reflecting his own in every way.

"Yugi, when you get off the plan, grandpa will be there, you remember what he looks like right?

Yugi nodded, a couple of summers ago, when everything was still alright, they'd gone and visited Domino.

"I'll come and see you, if I can . . ." her voice trailed off.

"Mom"

She took her son in her arms and hugged him one last time.

Yugi breathed in the comforting scent of his mom as crystalline tears fell from his eyes, he didn't want to let go, but he couldn't stay forever. Eventually, they parted and he walked through the tunnel like a prisoner walks their green mile.

* * * * * * * * * *

He sat in his own row on the plane, staring out the small window. Yugi watched his mom waving to him, a forced smile held painfully on her face.

Then he saw him. Tsuda came up from behind her, Yugi wanted to scream and tell his mom to run, but he couldn't do anything. He only watched in vain as Tsuda grabbed her wrists and turned her around so she was facing him.

Yugi's heart skipped a beat as he watched his father drag his mom away. The pain inside him intensified, and the tears he had been holding back fell. He watched them disappear through the crowds.

Even after they were gone, Tsuda's youthful features and spiky golden hair still remained in Yugi's mind, but such good looks could easily be marred by the sinister appearance always on his face.

//Ever since he started drinking// Yugi thought

//Everything's gone wrong, mommy, be careful//

* * * * * * *

As the plan rose, Yugi's head started spinning, he squeezed his eyes shut trying to push away the second round of tears that had befallen him, but still they broke free.

Finally, he fell into a dizzy sleep, only waiting for the world to wake him up.

Sitting across from him, a man appearing to be engrossed in a newspaper watched Yugi carefully.

//So this is the boy destined for the Millennium Puzzle, we shall see what we get from you little Yugi//

The man smiled lightly and he vanished.
