Crazy: hello everyone! it's your favorite author over here! now I've just recently gotten addicted to yu-gi-oh. Now I'm planning to write this story, Music of the Heart or MOTH. wow I just realized that the first letters actually spell a word! that's awesome! anyways my friend RavenclawPrincess238 has actually prove read some of this. not all of it though so any mistakes in this will be my own. please leave a review of it.

Fair warning there will be tea/anzu bashing. Honestly I have nothing against her. I just really didn't feel like having to create a OC enemy for the band and I couldn't seem to fit her in the story. Also I apologize for OOCs.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yugi woke up with a start. Her make shift bed of cardboard left a terrible ache in her back. She looked around for the source of the noise that so rudely woke her up. A flash of color out of the corner of her eye was her answer.

"Stupid alley cat." she grumbled with a slight scowl on her face. Deciding that it was impossible for her to fall back asleep, she sat up and get ready for the day. There was nothing too important to point out because she was not like your regular teen age girl. No, sweet little yugi was poor.

After the death of her grandfather, her only known and living relative at the time, her life went down hill fast. Because she was 13 at the time, there was no true jobs that could support her. no one would take her in so she resigned to sleeping in ally ways. Once she was of age to be hired she could not keep the employment. After years of trying her hardest she finally did what seemed to be the only option, give up.

Now, 4 years after her grandfather's death, yugi would get the shock of her life.

It was support to be a normal day for the tri-colored haired girl. For the most part it was, walk around town to the few places she could find food, sneak away from all other gangs, and stop by the music store to listen to the music coming from out of it. the reason she would stop by the music store is a very simple reasoning. Back when she still lived with her grandfather there was a up and coming band called Shadow Game. Actually she had know many of the band members before they moved to Tokyo to hit the big time. Nowadays they were the biggest band in japan. even though yugi won't admit it, she misses each of them dearly.

She and the band had not spoken in a while. She still gets mail sent to her house and will stop by to pick it up. Yugi has not been able to send anything back to them because of her financial issues.

She let out a sigh and made her way to her ally but was blocked by a group of men.

*Meanwhile a black away from yugi*

Shadow game's lead singer, Yami Sennen, was walking down the street calmly looking around. He was trying to re-emerge himself in his hometown. It had been years since he and his band were back home in Domino. All of them were happy to be home and see old friends and family, but there was one person that occupied yami's mind.

Yugi Muto

As he looked around, hoping to see the little muto, the sound of a struggle reached yami's ears. Rushing over to a alleyway he saw a group of strong, brooding men surrounding something. A huge demanding voice spoke loud and clearly.

"Now it's simple, give us what money you have along with anything mw and my boys may also want then we will be on our way." The voice said. From the slur and useless cheering the men were obviously drunk. Yami felt sick at how they were treating the person in the middle of the gathering. He was about to say something until a very familiar voice broke in.

"Never!" Yugi cried. The leader's face went bring red with anger and gave his lackeys a nod. As they positioned themselves to attack the defenseless girl on the ground a deep, rigid voice stopped them dead in their tracks.

"Hey!" Yami called out to the group of ruffians. "Leave the girl alone." He spoke strongly as he made his way through he crowd. The leader turned to see the superstar helping the girl to her feet and let out a deep dark chuckle. This caught both yugi and yami's attention as they looked over to him.

"Hey rock star, just what od you think you're doing? That little thing behind you belongs to us, so we would appreciate it if you would let her go and be on your way." He growled menacingly. Yami was clearly not very happy as he shot the man a stone hard death glare. Little yugi was still in shock at realizing that yami was actually real. As the gang once again closed in around the two teens. Yami hid yugi behind him as he became very defensive. The leader of the gang gave a flick of his wrist and walked, basically signaling that they could do what they pleased.

The circle of people grew tighter and tighter until one attacked them. Yami was quick to protect little yugi and decked the guy, knocking his lights out. The others, becoming angry that their friend had been hurt, attacked full force. yami was prepared and was able to being them all down. Taking yugi's hand, he dragged her away until he deemed it far enough. Turning around he was quickly to embrace the young girl who finally trusted what her eyes showed her.

"Yami!" She cried happily as the young man just hugged her tighter. he had finally found her. All this time he had worried that she was kidnapped, injured, or worse, dead. He couldn't stand the thought. They eventually let the other go with a slight blush. Neither knew what to say. Ironically they had stopped in front of the music store. One of Shadow Game's songs began to blare out of the speakers. Without meaning to yugi started to quietly sing along with the yami recording.

This world will never be,

what I expected.

And if I don't belong,

Who would have guessed it?

Her soft voice blended almost magically with her deep baritone of yami's. Speaking of the tri-haired singer he was staring at yugi in awe of her voice. The way they sounded together almost put him into a trance. With that last thought he started to listen to her more.

I will not leave alone,

everything that I own,

to make you feel like,

it's not too late,

It's never too late.

Right as the chorus kicked in Yami joined in singing with little yugi

Even if I say,

it will be alright.

Still I hear you say,

you want to end you life.

Now and again we try,

to just stay alive.

Maybe we'll turn it all around,

'cause it's not too late,

it's never too late.

She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. Yami couldn't help but stare and take in how she looked. yugi looked like she was almost in pain. Even without being able to see her beautiful amethyst eyes that would display every emotion he was still able to read her like a open book. They both started to sing the second verse but yami started to sing the second verse but yami let her sing the beginning by herself again.

Yugi: No one will ever see,

this side reflected.

And if there's something wrong,

Who would have guessed it?

Both: And I have left alone,

Everything that I own,

to make you feel like,

It's not too late,

it's never too late.

Yugi opened her eyes a bit as she walked closer to yami and took his hand in her own. she felt amazing support from him and simply relished in the close contact. Yami didn't seem to care and more so held her hand close, giving it a soft squeeze. Daring to look up, crimson locked onto amethyst, and they both lost themselves in the others eyes along with the music.

The world we knew,

won't come back!

The time we've lost,

can't get back!

The life we had,

won't be ours again~~!

Yugi's mood seemed to be plummeting as thoughts of her old life flooded her mind. Yami, having noticed her emotions flicker through her face, tugged her even closer to him so he was practically hugging her again. he understood that his little abiou needed comfort and he was more then willing to give it.

This world will never be,

what I expected,

and if I don't belong?

The screeching guitar led them into the final chorus as yugi seemed to finally loose herself. She balle dup his leather shirt in tightly closed fists and leaned her head on his chest so she was looking at the ground as she sang with yami.

even it I say,

it will be alright,

still I hear you say,

you want to end your life.

Now and again we try,

to just stay alive.

Maybe we'll turn it all around,

cause it's not too late,

it's never too late.

They both sang the end very softly as yugi relaxed her grip lessened on the leather shirt. Yami continued to hold her tightly as a eruption of claps and whistles assaulted the started teens. Looking around a huge group of people surrounded them on all side. Most seemed very impressed with how well their voices seemed to blend. there were other people though that were envious of mainly little yugi. Many were Shadow Game fangirls who were angry. How dare a little runt like her be next to their precious Yami? But there was one girl specifically that was the most outraged. her name was Tea. She has been the fangirls' president for as long as the group has been together. In her mind all the band members belong to her and her alone. So with this said it was very apparent that having a, a nothing so close to her yami would set her off. This was something she would take care of...Personally.

After most of the crowd dissipated yami started to walk close to a horribly red yugi. Silence seemed to rule over the shorter one, finally getting a good look at her. Yugi's appearance came as a very shocking to the lead singer.

Her hair flowed down her back but was badly tangled and knotted. It also looked dirty and grimy. Yugi's clothing was simply a shirt sleeved t-shirt and jeans yet they both seemed over used and dirty. Actually they seemed to have holes in them. Looking down her shoe's were worse, being beaten up and ton's of holes with the suppose to be vivid reddish color looking dull and worn out. Normally lily petal white skin looking darker from the layers of dirt and sweat on it. All in all she looked like she hadn't had a very nice life since he had been gone. This is what caused yami to speak up searching for answers that he so desperately wanted.

"Yugi?" He asked experimentally.

"yes?" Came the soft angelic answer.

"did something happen while I was away? you don't seem to be yourself." This caused the younger one to stop in her tracks before deciding that telling him everything. And that's just what she did.

Yugi told him everything form the time grandpa died up to yesterday. Every important thing she could think of was spoke to the popular man. He listened to everything and did speak out on occasions.

"That's why I couldn't write. I did receive your letter's though." She concluded while yami nodded in understanding. That had settled it, yami had made up his mind and once that happened there was no stopping him. Yami would do anything to help yugi and that is what he is doing. Taking both of her hands in his own he began to speak to her.

"Yugi, I wish you would have come to me sooner with this but I also understand your situation. From now on your going to be a official part of Shadow game." He said sternly but a shell-shocked yugi still stood in front of him making no reaction which put him on edge. After a moment to regain herself yugi finally started to respond to what he just said.

"Oh no! I could never intrude on you like that! Besides I don't have anything to offer the band." She spoke up. In her eyes she would deem herself a burden to them. With a even firmer voice yami spoke up yet again.

"I insist that you join, no buts!" He said stopping her before she could speak. Knowing that there was no arguing with him. Sighing yugi nodded in agreement with him. Yami smiled softly as he and she discussed what she needed to do before she left. Making a small detour yugi lead him to where she had been spending most of her time. Her beloved ally way.

Moving around a few things she was able to fish some important things to her. the first was a beautiful locket. the outside was lined with diamonds while right in the middle were two different stones. each had been shaped so each jewel put together formed a heart. one stone was amethyst pocket she bent down in pick up the next of 3 important items.

The second was a fairly normal thing, a small photograph. it showed her grandfather and two parents holding a small bundle which was baby yugi. Sadly not long after the photo had been taken both of them ended up dying in a car crash. She smiled sadly before stuffing the picture in her jean pocket.

The last and final object was yet again a photograph. This one displaying a fairly large group of people. If was clear that they were all at or going to the beach. A pair of boys seen wrestling in the background. One had long white hair and the other long but sandy color, both looking seemingly untamable. Yugi stood in front in a modest black colored bikini with red flowers printed on it. Yami stood off to the left while yelling at the two boys. they both remembered that day and this put yugi in a better mood. Turning around and giving the okay, they both left.

The walk took less then 20 minutes from the ally to the hotel. once they did arrive the front door was completely crowded by Shadow game fangirls. Yami sighed and looked for a way in that didn't involve either one getting mulled. Yami soon came up with a idea and pulled out his cell.

"Hey ryou. Yeah I'm fine. Actually I have a surprise for all of you. I'm outside the hotel right now. There's a huge mob again. Okay thanks, see ya soon." Yami shut the phone and turned to yugi. She stared up at him with her brightly colored eyes full of wonder and confusion. He gave her a knowing look and simply looked out where the crowd was. Eventually they saw the front door open but couldn't see exactly who it was that came out. Suddenly there was a very loud shout.

"Hey! Shadow Game went out the back! Follow them!" Suddenly the mob seemed to practically vanish leaving a girl with brown hair and a bullhorn. As she walked over she pulled off her wig to have long silvery hair cascade down her back. She smiled at them and suddenly yugi knew her.

This was ryou, the girl who was somehow able to tame the untamable Bakura and ended up having her heart stolen by him. Oddly enough the white haired thief had already fallen for her by that time. A few months after meeting the two became a couple and she having lived alone decided to move in with Bakura and went on tour with them. Occasionally she would play on the CD's or in concert.

As she walked closer she saw yugi and her smile only seemed to get bigger. Feeling a bit embarrassed she slightly hid behind yami trying to hide herself if had become a natural reflex for her. Tugging the shy girl behind him, yami walked up to meet ryou.

Ryou's smile seemed to grow wider then before. Once they were each standing together in a group ryou hugged yugi in pure joy which caught the shy girl by surprise.

"It's so good to finally meet you! I've heard so much about you!" The white haired girl exclaimed in happiness as she pulled away and looked at her with a bright white smile. Yugi on the other hand seemed a bit flustered, not having been use to such kindness in a very long time. Eventually yugi smiled back and the two seemingly became friends through that small transaction. Yugi smiled at the two happy to see how they hit it off so well. Ryou and yami started to lead the homeless girl into the hotel and towards the elevator to take them upstairs. Inside the safety of the elevator yami started to talk to ryou while yugi simply listened to the two quietly.

"I'm going to guess everyone is still in the sitting room?" Yami spoke out loud before receiving a small nod from ryou.

"Yeah there still all in there. I believe they all are going to enjoy their little surprise. IT's taken you long enough to find her!" The white haired girl said flashing yugi a comforting smile. Yugi smiled back. Just then the elevator dinged before opening and the three walked out into a beautiful hotel hallway, the lights were embedded in the wall. They seemed to be made out of pure gold while the lights themselves were to mimic the look of candles. Yugi feeling very out of her element stuck close to the wall, making sure not to touch a thing. Yami and ryou on the other hand didn't have a issue walking through acting like they owned the place. After strolling nearly halfway down the hallway and only seeing a few doors they stopped at one. Ryou pulled our a key from her pocket and ran it through the scanner on the door handle before the light turned from a bright red to vivid green. Turning the door handle and pushing it open the three walked right into a small brawl.

Bakura was wrestling with Marik once again while malik tried to get them to stop. A blonde was lounging on a couch happily holding onto another blonde, this one distinctly female. With a sigh from ryou she flashed yugi one last smile before directing her attention to the chaos ensuing before her. Placing her pointer finger and thumb in her mouth she then proceeded to let out a shrilling whistle causing everyone to look up from what they were doing or in Bakura and marik's case, jump 5 feet in the air before letting go of their hold and hightailing it away from each other. They had all witnessed a angry ryou and lets just say it was not something to be messed around with. After the group seemed to focus in on what they thought was just two people, they noticed a smaller figure hiding behind yami. Yugi was holding onto yami's shirt as she peaked over his shoulder flashing her pair of purple eyes. Bakura and marik almost instantly recognized her.

"Hey it's the shrimp!" Bakura said as he walked closer to her and placed his hand on her head before roughly tussling her multi-colored locks. Marik just smile a bit not really being truly interested in seeing the little girl. His girlfriend on the other hand was intently attracted to her. walking up behind Bakura she waited for their little transaction to finish before stepping forward. Holding out her hand, yugi stepped out from behind yami a bit more before taking the girls hand and sending a smile towards her before receiving the same treatment. The marik look alike began to eventually spoke.

"Hello my name is malik. It's nice to meet you." She spoke in a slightly higher register before yugi decided it would only be polite to repeat the gesture.

"It's nice to meet you too. My name is yugi." She spoke up. Malik's eyes widened just a bit before returning to their normal sixe and her expression turned into one of mischief and slyness, closely related to a look like marik's.

"Wait, you mean your yugi! The one that yami can't seem to ever shut up about? It's amazing to finally meet the girl that has captured his heart." The sandy colored haired girl spoke up while keeping the cat line grin plastered on her face while both yami and yugi floundered on how to respond. This caused everyone in the room to give a small laugh at the two extremely embarrassed pair. Yami was the first out of the two to break out of his fluster. Clearing his throat he tried to think of what to say.

"Well yugi you've already met malik. The other two over there are joey and mia." He said gesturing over to the clear love birds still lounging on the couch. The two smiled at her with mia giving her a little wave before they returned to their conversation. Yami kept his strong stance as he spoke out to the group of people in front of him.

"As of this moment yugi is going to be part of the band." Yami spoke. Mai and joey seemed a bit shocked since this was not a normal occurrence. Marik and malik shared a look over how this was going to go down for them. Ryou smiled happily as Bakura walked over to her an quietly grumbled under his breath about how it was about time that yami got around to trying to go after the young girl. After the little announcement of yugi going on tour with them and plan to move to Tokyo, ( this accompanied by happy cheers from almost everyone in the room) they got down to the business of where yugi would spend the duration of the tour with, including who would share a room with her.

Ryou had piped in that she would be more then happy to share with her but Bakura wouldn't have it. Malik and marik both knew that if their lead bunked with her that they would get over this awkward stage, so they both came up with excesses to not be able to take care of the homeless girl. By this point yami was practically sweating bullets. He knew he still held feelings for the girl. Giving a pleading look over to joey and mia the two blondes began to consider trading rooming arrangements. Eventually the two came to the conclusion that yami needed to fess up to her and politely reclined saying that both felt she would feel more comfortable with yami, someone she had known for a while, then new strangers. Sighing yami quickly turned around and gave yugi a small smile.

"Well it seems your going to be sharing a room with me. I hope you don't mind." He said politely to which he received a meek 'it's fine' before he tempted to walk her further into the room. The two then made themselves comfortable on another couch while mia, ryou and malik came up to talk to the young yugi.
