Those Little Games
by DoomaWriter
Author's notes: I am not the owner of Yu-gi-oh or any anime at that. IMPORTANT: This story isn't based on the Duel Monsters version of Yu-gi-oh but rather the King of Games version. For those of you who don't know what I mean, in the original Yu-gi-oh, Yugi played more than just Duel Monsters but a variety of unique and often deadly games.
I haven't seen every single one of these and there is a miniscule chance that one of my games has similarities to one the creator has made. Any similarities to the original is purely coincedental.
Duel One: Seat of Death
School had yet to start and all of the kids were chatting around the classroom. As usual, Joey and Tristan were proudly telling Yugi and Tea about their triumph over a gang from a rival school. While Tea scolded them for their acts of violence, Yugi mearly took in the story with awe. He was much too meek of a person to ever get into a fight with anyone.
"The kid stepped on my new sneakers, see" Joey said. "So naturally I had to beat the crap out of him and everyone of his friends."
"And naturally I had to come along to keep you from being pounded into the ground." Tristan added with a cocky smile. "You have to control yourself, you nearly gave an elderly woman a black eye."
"Hey, she was looking at my funny!"
"You were standing on her foor for about ten whole minutes."
The bell rang and everyone sat down in their assigned spots. That is, everyone but Yugi. "Uh, excuse me, but......you seem to be at my desk." he explained while avoiding eye contact. Joey stopped Tristan's talking and looked over.
"Who's that?"
"I da know, Joey. He must be new."
"You don't understand," the new student said as he placed his muddy shoes on top of the desk. He wiped the bottom with a finger then flicked dirt into Yugi's face. Joey rushed to his feet but Tristan held him back. "My name is Mori Chitsumi. I may be a stranger here but I'm infamous where I came from. It's in your best interest not to piss me off."
Mori Chitsumi: Male, average size, greased back black hair, an unkept uniform and one bad attitude.
Yugi became quiet and took an empty seat two rows behind Joey. Infuriated, his friend turned around and shouted, "Hey, Yuge! What was that!?"
"N-nothing."
"Stand up for yourself, man! Worst comes to worst me and Tristan's got your back!"
"Its nothing, don't worry Joey." He forced a smile. Reluctantly, Joey sat back down, he let out his anger by punching the table top.

The next day, Yugi was the first one to enter the classroom. He had made sure to come extra early. "Ha! I knew Mori wasn't the type to be prompt." The backpack touched the floor and Yugi sat in his rightful place, grinning happily. A short while afterwards, the class started to fill up. Just as Yugi began to think the day would go without any confrontations, Mori stepped in. Yugi gulped and held his head low. He thought: *Last time I was slow, but he can't do anything now that I'm here first.*
Mori walked over to the seat, grabbed Yugi's collar and flung him out of his chair. Yugi crashed into two other desks, causing the whole class to focus upon him. With a quiet chuckle, Mori sat in the seat and started carving his name into the desk with a pen.
This went on for about a week. Mori continued to sit where he pleased and Yugi continued backing out. It got so bad that even Tea offered to help Yugi take on the bully. But with each offer from his friends, Yugi declined. This wasn't their problem and they would face problems if the school found out.
While walking home, Yugi's head was brought up by a familiar voice. It was Tea! She was waving for him to come over. *Wow* he thought. *I can't remember the last time me and Tea walked home without Joey or Tristan with us.* He couldn't help letting a slight blush appear on his face. He started to walk but found himself stumbling to the side and into an inconveniently placed fountain.
It was Mori again! He had pushed Yugi out of the way and was now advancing to Tea. A small flame ignited within Yugi as he saw Mori's arm hitch across Tea's shoulder. It went out as Tea forced him away but came back burning stronger than ever when he saw the persistent Mori grasp on a lower place behind his friend.
The puzzle around Yugi's neck gave out a bright glow and a force surged through his body. Calmly, Yugi stood up out of the water and stared at the now fleeing yet smiling Mori. A smile of a different nature came to Yugi's face.

With house keys in hand, Mori reached over to the knob but to find that his door was already unlocked. He walked into his house trying to think if there was anyway he had left his door open. Everything in his house was still there so it couldn't of been a burgular. But wait, there was one thing amiss! A stranger sitting in the middle of the room.
His eyes squinted with anger. "Its you! That bastard from class. The hell are you doing in my house!?" Mori's hand balled into a fist.
The figure stood up and placed his hands in his pockets. It was Yugi, yet he seemed to be standing differently, with more confidence. "Mori Chitsumi. All week you've been a real problem but I chose to ignore you. But when you harass my friends, I can't turn my back anymore." His voice seemed to be deeper.
"What's a scrawny guy like you going to do? I'll destroy you in one hit!"
"I don't want to fight you. I just want to propose a little game. If you win, you get to punch me until you're satisfied. But if you lose, you'll have to play a penalty game."
"A game?....Heh, I can't pass up the chance to beat the snot out of someone." He placed brass knuckles onto his hands and nodded. "So what's it going to be?"
"The name of the game is Musical Chairs! We both walk around a single chair while music plays on. Whoever's not in a chair by the time it stops, loses."
Mori stood in silence. Musical chairs!? The elemantary game designed to be amusing while harmless? He started laughing. "Whatever! I'll play your baby game!" Mori grabbed a nearby stool and set it in between him and Yugi.
Music began to play and neither took the time to ask where it came from. It was the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel. The two circled around the stool, stairing at each other all the while. Yugi glanced on with a smile while Mori took the time to show his appreciation by giving Yugi the bird.
Suddenly, the music stopped. Yugi headed for the seat but Mori landed a blow which forced Yugi into the adjacent dining room's furniture. He smashed and caused the table to flip onto its side. Mori sat down and laughed out loud. "I win, fool! I hoped you liked that hit because you're getting a lot more!"
"Not so fast." Yugi's voice came from behind the turned over table. "You haven't won anything."
"Who are you trying to cheat!? I'm obviously on the chair!"
"No, Mori. What you're sitting on is a stool." The table was pushed to the side and shown that Yugi had been knocked into one of the dining room chairs. "You lose."
Mori's jaw dropped. *He knew all along! He planned for me to hit him and tricked me into going for the stool!* "I'm not afraid of you! Let's see this penalty!" Yugi's puzzled began to glow once again.

The next day at school, Joey walked in to see Yugi sitting in his rightful spot. To the side, Mori was standing up and sweating nervously. "Alright, Yuge! So you finally stood up for yourself!"
Mori stood up straight and readjusted his pants every now and then. Because of the penalty, his back now reached down to his legs and he would never be able to sit down again. A tear ran down his cheek.

Author: And that's it for Chapter 1. I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you have, you'd review and I'll add more (I already have a great idea for Ch. 2 ^_^). If not, you won't and I'll fall into a deep depression and you'll have to live with the guilt.
