Chapter 1
Yuugi sat in the front passenger seat, head resting against his fore arm. Until a honk sounded from nearby. His grandfather floored the gas, narrowly missing the front end of the moving truck.
"Sorry about that Yuugi, but we're here."
The teen gazed tiredly up at the home. He could imagine at one point it being the envy of all, but looking at the bi-level home painted in Pepto-Bismol pink…he couldn't help but feel sorry for the original owners. Yuugi exited the car and opened the back. He grabbed his and Solomon's luggage. The spiky haired teen trailed behind his grandfather, waiting to see his new home. Upon entering, he could see a mirror at the end of a long hallway. Walking in further, he could see a rather large sitting room to his left and an even larger living room to his right. Yuugi decided he'd explore more after being settled in. He proceeded to climb up the stairs with the baggage in tow. Now upstairs, Yuugi discovered there were four bedrooms to choose from. Three of which were five times larger than his old room. He decided upon the smallest of the four. He placed his luggage down in one of the corners of his new room as not to disturb the movers. Yuugi then set his grandfather's luggage near the stairwell. He'd figured Solomon would want to choose his own room.
His grandfather ended up demanding that Yuugi take the largest bedroom, telling him that it would be a waste to let such a beautiful room go unused, so he reluctantly agreed. It was early evening when the two were finished unpacking…the upstairs. Yuugi hopped down the stairs, his grandfather right behind.
"Sooooo how about we order pizza?" he suggested.
"A nice idea, but there isn't a single pizza place that will deliver this far out," Solomon replied reluctantly.
"Why would you move us to a house that doesn't have pizza delivery!?" Yuugi exclaimed dramatically throwing a hand onto his forehead. The old man chuckled
"Alright how about this, I'll make a quick stop at the supermarket, we'll have a late dinner." Sighing, the teen nodded and strolled into the living room.
"Okay, be back soon!" he called, opening a random box on the ground, this one seemed to be filled with ancient Egyptian artifacts from his grandfather's explorations.
Digging through the bubble wrap he found a miniature sarcophagus. Yuugi quirked his head. He didn't remember ever seeing this artifact in his grandfather's collection. Picking it up, he noticed the lid was loose and pulled it off, revealing a stuffed doll that had ebony hair with lightning shooting up and tips framed by the same deep crimson as its eyes. The teen was surprised, to say the least, it looked remarkably like himself. Lifting the doll from the container, he set it on the table to examine it later. Yuugi then went about pulling the artifacts from the boxes one by one and placing them in their respective spots.
Millennia later-or so it seemed-Solomon arrived home with foodstuffs as promised. Feeling particularly lazy, the two made a simple dinner of chicken and rice.
"So Yuugi, how are you liking the new place so far?" Solomon asked, handing a newly washed plate to the teen.
"It's really nice." He replied idly drying the dish with a towel "I do wish we had a few neighbors though." His grandfather looked down at the sudsy sink.
"Yes, well I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends at school." Yuugi placed the rest of the dry dinner ware in the cabinet.
"Yeah…" Solomon stepped away from the counter and stretched.
"We'd better get to sleep. We've got a full day of unpacking ahead of us." He yawned, making his way towards the stairs. Yuugi was getting ready to follow when he remembered something. Walking into the living room, he found the doll from earlier resting in the same spot he had placed it earlier that evening. Scooping up the doll, Yuugi ascended the stairs.
"Goodnight grandpa!" the teen called from down the hallway.
"Goodnight Yuugi," Solomon replied shuffling into his room. The amethyst eyed teen snuggled under the covers and held the doll close, giving it one last look before falling into a peaceful sleep.
This is my very first fanfic so please leave a review! I'll try to update every two weeks or so, but with school starting up again I can't make any promises. Aidou!
