Chapter I
"No mother, dont leave me." I whispered as I sat beside my mom in the Livingston Hospital. The one we would usually go to. I was gripping her hand tight, but there was not the slightest movement in my mother.
She was the only thing I had left in a family. My grandparents have all died before I was born. I never really had cousins, uncles, and aunts, never really met the ones I thought I had. My dad had been part of the military, but died a year ago as he got shot in the battlefield, risking his life to save those of ours. My little brother died quickly like right when he was born. And my brother was in jail for life, never return to smell the fresh air. Never return being able to see the light. In ways, I dont even know if this was my true family. I was nothing like them. I was usually a good person without the "tough stuff" like that of my father and brother. I don't have the family diseases that runs through the family except for one that was equal to that of my mothers.
My mother was the closest thing I had to life. She would feed me when I was starving. Basically, she would risk her life to save that of mine. She had never yelled at me, though she did with my older brother.
And now I am left alone. With no one to care about me. I will not leave my mother. But I must find something to save her because I am sure that she will fail soon, and that is a path I am not going to take.
I confidently got out of my chair and walked towards the door. Hand on the door knob, and now twisting. The door was then open. "Bye, mother." I said as I left the room.
Well, visiting hour was over anyway, so it didn't matter. But I really wanted to stay with my mother for the certain time in which she could stay. I would like to stay with her as long as I could. But I knew I must go search... I must go search for an answer.
I am now down from the hospital walking alone back home. I look at bill boards. It's all the same. Advertising always for the samethings. Duel monsters.
That's all that is on the bill boards at this time. All about the upcoming tournament with a chance of winning $1,000,000. I would love to join, but sadly I have no cards and no cash to spend.
I am now starving and notice I should get home quicker if I want to get something quicker. I find the old bus, travels for free at night shifts. This is my chance though my house is only three blocks from here. Traveling in this cold wind is really starting to bother my legs. So on the bus I went.
When I looked around. It was an everyday bus except with an expanded amount of people. A section of little kids trading their cards and obtaining other cards they liked. And a teenage section just like that ripping some of the little kids off. I was too cold to say something. There were a section of gangsters with hooded sweatshirts, skateboards, all the like. And one section for the old ones. Grandmas and grandpas I assume. These people awfully reminded me of my own family. My own grandparents, my own little brother, and my own big brother. I had a perfect family, but it just couldn't work out the way I wanted it too.
I picked a seat in back of the little kids and besides the teenagers. Just sitting there staring at the night sky. There were awfully a lot of stops on this night. But it was probably just kids meeting on this bus as a trading site.
"Hello." I heard a child say. And the child repeated. The child repeated over and over that I was starting to get frustrated. I turned around and it seemed the child had been talking to me.
"Yes? How may I help you?" I politely responded.
"Do you have Duel Monster cards?" The child impolitely shouted.
"No." The kid looked surprised.
"You have none?"
"Yes. Dont rub it in." Why had this mysterious kid been talking to me? It's not like I'm anything special.
"Would you like a card, Mr.?"
"Alright. I'll be glad to accept a card from one polite one like you." I tried to play around with this kid. I really didnt want to take the card because I knew it was going to be a bad card. No matter how much this kid stinks at playing Duel Monsters. He is going to give me a bad card. I was sure of it.
The little kid was scanning through his deck for a card he did not like that he would like to give to me. "Ew... This card is a girl card. I don't want it. Here, this is the card that I chose for you."
Indeed this little kid was pretty stupid. Stupider than I thought. He had given me the card Injection Fairy Lilly. "Why thank you." I replied.
"You're welcome. May I sit with you?" I nodded as I moved over closer to the window.
Finally we had gotten to my house and the little kid moved for me to get out. Then something wierd happened. The little kid started following me.
"What are you doing?" I asked. "Where's your mommy?"
"My mommy is in the hospital. She told me to go back home on this bus." It seems his mom had been in the hospital as well. "But I dont know where home is."
"Where is your daddy?"
"He's at work. And doesn't come back home til I am way asleep." He said in that little voice that little kids usually have. It was too mean to just leave him here. After all, he did give me an Injection Fairy Lilly. Why not take him along? Im sure he lives around the neighborhood and his dad is surely to try and find him.
"Alright, come with me then." And he followed. "What is your name?"
"My name is Char-wee." I guess he could really pronounce his "l"s well.
I invited him into my house and treated him to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. How can this new little visitor effect my life? Why did he randomly just give me a really rare card? The tournament awaits me.
