Hello! My second story has arrived! I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh in case you where suspicious. Hope you enjoy!) (R&R Please!)
The Encounter
It was a quiet night. Yugi had been asleep for a couple of hours and it hadn't been any different than any other night. He had a big test the next day, and had been cramming for hours. He thought he could sleep through almost anything that night, but strangely, he awoke. No sound was made, no one had entered his room, and yet it was like he was startled awake. He sat up and looked around to find the source of the disturbance. Every thing in his room was clouded in darkness. Silhouettes of his desk and chair where accompanied by the items on the desk. It included his books and the millennium puzzle. Then he glanced at the window that was on his roof. It was normal except there was a dark spot at the edge of the window. As he stared in silence at the spot a bolt of lightning lit up the room and the dark spot became clearly visible. A dragon was staring at him through his window! He opened his mouth to yell but all that came out was a small yelp as he fell head over heals off his bed. His head hit the ground first and it made a loud clunk on the floor. Yugi sat up and rubbed the back of his head; he looked back up to the window and the dragon had disappeared. Yugi, are you alright? A voice called to him. It was the pharaoh that lived in his millennium puzzle. He projected himself to see what happened
"Yeah, I'm fine," Yugi replied. He stood up and grabbed the puzzle, slipped it on his neck, and began to walk out of his room.
"Where are we going?" questioned the pharaoh again.
"I saw something outside, and I want to check it out." Yugi reached for the door, but before he reached the knob, it swung open. Yugi's grandpa was standing in the doorway with a flashlight.
"Yugi! You're awake?" said his Grandpa shining the flashlight into his grandson's face, "I thought you'd still be asleep. Anyway, it sounded like you dropped something. Is everything alright?"
"It's nothing, I fell out of my bed, and I thought I saw something outside." shielding his eyes from the blinding light.
"Oh, well then you'll need this," Grandpa handed Yugi the flashlight, "The power went out just now; I think a storm is coming. Don't stay out too long"
"O.K, I won't," He took the flashlight and ran past his Grandpa and down the stairs. As he stepped out into the night, the cool air gave him a chill. The moon was black, which made it very difficult to see. Yu-Gi made his way to where he could see his ceiling window. What he saw shocked him; there were enormous claw marks down the roof to the edge! It was definitely a dragon. There was a strange aura around the area. "This is probably what woke me up was this evil feeling," Thought Yugi. The air was thick with darkness, but the dragon was nowhere in sight.
"Maybe it already left," suggested the pharaoh.
"You're right," Yugi replied. As Yugi turned around the lighting flashed, and there appeared in front of him the dragon! Yugi dropped the flashlight and it hit the ground with a shatter. The dragon was much larger up close, which only made it more menacing; its red eyes where staring strait into Yugi's eyes. Its glare was almost paralyzing. The dragons jet black scales made its outline blend with the darkness. Yugi new it could strike at any moment and he would be done for. Recovering from the shock, he took a slow, small step back; the dragon was as still as statue. He took another step back, but this time it noticed. The giant dragon leapt at Yugi as fast as lightning with a deep roar, wings and claws extended. It's white teeth where sharp and glistened in the great beast's mouth. Yugi didn't have time to move or think; he was fully paralyzed. He thought he was going to be torn apart. Just before the dragon struck the helpless boy, a white flash flew across the screen and the dragon had disappeared. A large fight was being fought between the dragon and another creature. Yugi forced his head and body to turn toward the commotion. There, he saw not one, but two dragons fighting viciously. There was the black one and a white one; moans, roars and screams where coming from the scaly ball. After a while of the horrible slashing, the dragons separated with a bone-chilling scream. One had definitely sustained a lot of damage. The white dragon wasn't too injured; it had a small scratch under its eye and a cut on its shoulder. The black dragon had a few more injuries, and they where definitely severe. On its chest was a large gash that was shimmering red with blood. It also had a large cut on its neck. It was panting and was obviously beaten. Yugi was it terror he began to think they where fighting over him! What if the white one wants to eat me, too! This thought made him shiver. The black dragon gave one final scream, and, with all of its energy spread its large wings and flew into the black of the night. The evil darkness left with it, and was replaced with a calm feeling.
Yugi wasn't paralyzed by fear anymore, even though there was a dragon still in front of him. After watching the black dragon fly away, the white dragon turned his attention to Yugi. It walked slowly over to him. Its eyes where blue and his scales where white; so white, that they where practically glowing. Yugi stared into its eyes and felt a strong sense of relief. Exhaustion flooded over him, and, after fighting it a small while, collapsed into the dragon's arms fast asleep. The dragon didn't seem surprised, like it had happened before or he had made Yugi tired. It picked Yugi up off the ground gently and walked on his hind legs toward the house. It squeezed through the door and the bell rang. The dragon clenched its teeth, and waited for the man to come around the corner and beat it with a broom, or worse, a bat. It waited a while, but no one came; all was silent. Walking slowly and quietly it peeked around the corner. No lights where on, and all was quiet; it didn't complain. Still silent, it crept up the creaky stairs to a room. Praying it was the right one it pushed the door open with its snout and peered in. Again a success; the room was empty. Placing Yugi on the bed it stared at him. It spotted the puzzle almost immediately. As it reached for the item it heard "Yugi, is that you?" a voice yelled from outside the door the dragon froze and stared at the door. Thinking fast, it jumped for the window. "Yugi?" said the grandpa as he stepped into the room. "Poor Yugi, he studied so much he fell asleep," he whispered. He had completely forgotten that he had seen Yugi go outside. After tucking him in, grandpa went back to his own room, and all was as it was before.
Ooooh, that was tense! Dragons are so unpredictable! Well, Ch 2 will be here soon! Review please!
