My Darling child, My Beloved Master

Chapter I
He watched them from the window of his bedroom. Yuugi bit his lower lip sighing as he let his curtain fall and sat down on the bed gazing forlornly at the millenium puzzle lying innocently at his desk.
Fzzt. Fzzt.
The light bulb flickered to life then back. He could hear Jounichi's and Honda's loud laughter, Anzu's giggles and his Mou hitori no Boku's deep chuckles. His eyes clenched shut shutting the image of the puzzle from his mind.
'Mou hitori no boku? Iie. Yami is another person now.' He could no longer reach him. Their link is nothing more than a dimming thread.
He curled to a ball.
Fzzt..Fzzzzt…'I really should fix that light.' He thought by idly. He buried his head at his pillows and tried to block the sound of the front door opening followed by heavy footfalls and merry laughter as the people he thought he once knew get comfortable downstairs at the living room.
Fzzzt… Fzztt….
In truth, he doesn't really blame them for forgetting him especially Yami. Yes, it hurts. It hurts a lot but he understands. Yami was stuck in a puzzle for 5000 years. He was alone in the dark. When it was completed he had lost his memories. He had no body, no means of communication aside from possessing Yuugi's body.
'But now he has one.'
…Fzzzt…
Yami just start living again. He finally could feel, could hear, could touch, could see. Yami could converse, could be himself without being held back by little Yuugi. He was everything Yuugi thought could never be. Strong, charismatic, tall, etc. Attributes that Yuugi can't have. And because of this, he understands why his friends would leave him. He pales in comparison to Yami.
….Fzzzt….
He understands. He understands a lot but still….
….Fzzzt….
but still…. Even though his mind could accept those facts. Even though he could accept that these things happen.
….Fzzzt….
'It still hurts.' His heart could not.
The light bulb gave one last flicker before finally dying, unable to light again.
Ah'lu sha…..Kagadun'shia se…
He is lying down yet he could feel nothing beneath him. He could feel warmth and comfort surrounding him. Fill him, embrace him and wrap around him like a cocoon.
….Doku…k'sahi…Yumodeikde…
The soft melodic singing fills his ears. His brows furrowed in concentration, the song just bringing him further and further to deep sleep. The words…. He could not understand them, they are neither Japanese, Egyptian or even English but…. The song, the warmth, the voice…. He could feel unexplainable joy and love fill up his chest. The feeling…. This feeling, it is so familiar, He felt a slender hand brush away his bangs and rest upon his forehead as if saying to go back to sleep.
…manji…'uruya…kai'ntaka do….
He struggled to open his eye in vain attempt to see. He caught glimpse of the overwhelming color of gold, blue and green before his eyes fall shut finally going back to deep slumber. In his mind though a voice asked.
'Kaasan?'
Meanwhile as he sleeps, a card among many other cards from his deck glowed.
"See ya later Grandpa." Yami yelled out as he slammed the door at his hurry. Tea and the others are waiting outside to walk with him to school.
"Ah! Wait for me Yami!" Yuugi cried as he stumbled as he put on his tennis shoes, a half-eaten toast still hanging on his mouth. His call though was left unheard, as it seems that his darker half has already left. Yuugi tilted his head to the side somehow not really bothered. Ever since he woke up this morning he had been feeling happy, happier than he had ever felt for years and being left behind and ignored didn't seem to dampen his spirits unlike usual.
"See you later grandpa!" He called out pausing at the doorway to look back at his grandfather putting up the displays. The older man waved. "Have fun at school today Yuugi." The said boy grinned before leaving the house and rushing out to school.

'It's weird.' Yuugi thought as he looked outside the classroom's window, his chin held by his hand while his elbow resting on the desk all the while his other hand doodling absently at a stray sheet. Earlier that day he was being bullied as usual making him remember all to well that he could no longer call Yami for help at their fading bond. He was left alone again and he was often teased at his short height. In other words, it was the same old routing but what was weird about it is that he can't seem to get depressed at all at those things that happened to him. He's happy, heck, even giddy. As if he's excited, as if he's keeping a secret no one could ever know.
He turned his gaze to his classmates devoid of the presence of his darker half and his friends. He wasn't expecting them to be here in fact. While he might not share it to others, there's a reason why a short guy like him is attending the advanced class at high school. Grandpa made him skip years hopefully to challenge his grandson with an I.Q above 200.(1.) It was his gift aside from gaming he guessed.
"Kaasan?"
A finger pressed on his lips silenced him. "Hush little one." She pulled him closer to her chest as they hid together from his father's searching. Her hands cover his ears when his father shouted words a young boy like him should not hear.
Yuugi shook his head to banish the memories. 'Where did those come from so suddenly?'
"Is there something wrong Mr. Mouto?" Yuugi's attention snapped back to his teacher as he smiled sheepishly. "It's nothing sir." The man nodded. "I see. Please read page 234 paragraph three for the class."
"Hai." Yuugi flipped his English textbook to the right page and stood up. "William looked at the funnily dressed pirate with eyes burning in determination. 'So? Will you help me?' The pirate smiled revealing his golden plated teeth …."

(1) Yuugi DID complete the puzzle at such a young age unlike those many people who are older before him
