I hope you all enjoy and are glad that The House of Yami finally won it's chance to appear! I do not own Yugioh!:
'Welcome to Heiwa!' a bright blue sign read as a small blue car passed by. Heiwa, a place that wasn't known hardly at all, hardly anyone knew of it and that made it as peaceful as it's name says. The area was a lush green color, sidewalks on the side had people walking on it who occasionally stopped and greeted one another, and buildings that were not too small and not too big. A paradise for the happy couple in the blue car.
The woman in the passengers seat gazed out the window with a dreamy look in her eyes, she looked to be in her twenties and had bright sky blue eyes along with short shoulder length chestnut brown hair. She looked to the driver, a man who truly didn't look his age at all. He looked like a very short high schooler, but in reality he was in his mid twenties. He had a child-like face, bright amethyst colored eyes, and black spiked up hair with his eye color outlining it, with the hair he had bright yellow bangs that framed his face.
The two had planned on moving to the place for months after they had married. They had gotten married after dating for four years, all the way through high-school, in anyone's eyes they were the perfect couple. The woman had wanted to move there first due to the fact she thought it would be nice for a change of pace from their place they used to live in, which was an obnoxious area full of trouble. She didn't work, so she was always subjected to the tortures of immature children who would comment on her looks or her age. The man worked but only at home, for he was a writer and had a very good income. He had been made fun of as well, due to his face and height, but he had paid it no mind at all. Once the woman brought up the subject of moving, he had been reluctant but after hearing her explanations, he had agreed.
The car zoomed past down streets of stores, restaurants, schools, and houses. The woman was practically holding in her giggles of happiness as their new house came into view, she had always looked at it over the internet, after all they had bought it over it. It was a two story house that was a light blue color with a dark gray roof, it had a large front and backyard, and a garage to the side. The car pulled into the driveway of the garage and stopped. The woman burst out of the car and looked around, smiling and then twirling around with her arms spread out.
"We're finally here!" She squealed as she giggled. "Isn't it great, Yugi?!" She stopped in mid spin and held out her arms to the house. Yugi had exited the car and began to chuckle at his wife's actions, she was the perfect wife for him. Yugi looked at the house and nodded.
"It looks better in real life." Yugi commented as he took a step next to his wife. He was a couple inches shorter then his wife, but he didn't care, and she didn't either. She loved him no matter how tall he was, and she always reminded him of that whenever someone commented on his size.
"Doesn't it?" His wife sighed happily, she looked behind them and pouted as she began to think. "Yugi, where's our furniture?"
"I left it at the house." Yugi said with a smile as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a key. His wife gaped at his response.
"But Yugi! We spend hundreds on the furniture!"
"I know."
"Then why did you leave it?"
"I dunno." Yugi spoke blankly as he placed the key into the house door and unlocked it.
"What do you mean you dun-" She stopped in mid sentence as she looked inside the opened door and put her hands to her mouth. Yugi smirked at his wife's expression, it was exactly what he wanted.
"What was that about furniture, Anzu?" Yugi teased as he entered the house, waving the key as he did so. Anzu pouted and walked into the house. Yugi had ordered new furniture for their house and to have it placed where ever, their boxes of their stuff ,on the other hand, had been shipped a day beforehand and were scattered amongst the house in the rooms they were said to be in.
"It's beautiful!" Anzu gasped out as she looked at the inside. As soon as you entered, you would see light blue walls, pure white carpet, a light brown staircase with designs on the decorative railings, and many doors that led to different rooms. Anzu could barely wait to explore the house, she wanted to see the marble counter tops and tables in the kitchen, the back porch with a balcony only a few feet off the ground, the crystal clean bathrooms (They had two), her husband's peaceful study room, the small but not too small guest room, the large main bedroom. She wanted to see all of it!
"It is." Yugi agreed as he looked around as well. The main room they were in had a large tan colored couch and two single rest chairs and a large television with boxes setting next to it. What was he saying, there were boxes everywhere! Yugi mentally groaned at having to go through it all. He looked toward the area where his wife had been to find her gone, she had gone off to explore. He chuckled and shook his head as he heard his wife's squeals from the kitchen. He headed up the stairs, placing a hand on the railing, it was cool and smooth to the touch.
At the top of the stairs, four rooms could be seen. The main bedroom's door, the upstairs bathroom's door, the guest room's door, and his study's door. His study door was the one on the farthest left. It was a pure dark brown with a iron doorknob. Yugi grabbed the knob and turned it, allowing himself entrance into the room. His eyes widened at how simple it looked. He found a work desk at the end of the room with a red lush chair behind it with a good amount of boxes on top of it, four bookshelves with boxes stacked next to them, file cabinets with boxes next to them, a red loveseat and a brown coffee table, and a large window.
Yugi tilted his head to the side slightly, the window was in the far back, right next to his chair behind his desk. He walked to the window and looked out it. Right outside his window he had a clear view of a hill with a small house on it. Yugi squinted his eyes, the house looked to be a dark tan color with a dark brown roof, he could barely make out if it was a two story or three story house. It looked interesting in a sense, but it was also creepy...but it was still overly interesting.
"Yugi! Where are you?!" Anzu called from downstairs. Yugi jumped at the shout and recollected himself, he had been staring at the house, as if he had been drawn to it. He took a deep breath.
"I'm in my study, Anzu!" He replied in a yell. Anzu came sprinting up the stairs, eager to see her husband's study. She gasped and looked around with a amazed look on her face.
"Oh, Yugi!" Anzu breathed out. "It's perfect for you!" She took a step toward the desk and placed her hands on it, it was as smooth as the railing of the stairs, perhaps it was made of the same wood. She ran her hands over it slowly.
"I'm glad you like it." Yugi chuckled, taking a side glance out the window, he couldn't help it. He wanted to look at the house. Anzu looked up and saw her husband's head turned toward the window with a fixated gaze on something, her curiosity was piqued and she walked to Yugi, lacing her arms around one of his.
"What're you looking at?" She questioned, leaning her head down to place it on his shoulder, it slightly hurt her neck but she didn't mind. Yugi shrugged as his eyes tore away from the sight of the house.
"Nothing." He said with a smile, Anzu pouted and giggled.
"You seem tired." She spun him around and made him place his hands on her waist, she placed her arms on his shoulders. Yugi smiled at her and began to sway gently.
"I suppose." He responded. "It was a long drive." Anzu nodded and leaned down, she kissed him gently and held him there for a good three seconds. She broke the kiss with a soft smile on her face, she spoke in a whisper.
"Let's go out to eat, I'll drive."

"Welcome to Hawkins Diner!" A high pitched country accented voice greeted as Yugi and Anzu entered the small bright colored diner. There were bright blue and red lamps and colors everywhere, the tables were a clear mirror like surface along with the floor and bar that lined the right side of the place, the walls were a solid white with the lights giving it decoration. People were scattered in the place, eating, delivering food, taking orders, and leaving the place.
Yugi looked at the person who had greeted them. It looked like a middle schooler, she had long blonde hair that went past her shoulders, bright blue eyes that had a hint of determination within them, and brown glasses. She was wearing a white dress that went to her knees, across the white dress was a red and blue line with the words 'Hawkins!' on it. Yugi smiled at the girl.
"Hello, a table for two." Yugi told her. The girl smiled brightly and nodded at him as she guided them to a booth table near a window, it looked out onto a busy but not too busy street. Cars passed by and so did people, again they stopped and said hi to each other, as if they all knew one another. The girl took out a notepad and pencil.
"Alrighty, what will ya'll have as a drink?" The girl spoke, her accent heavy in her words. Yugi rose an eyebrow while Anzu just giggled and whispered something along the lines of 'How cute.'. Yugi gestured for the girl to lean down slightly, the girl pouted but did as he gestured.
"You're faking that accent, aren't you?" Yugi whispered soft enough so it was only him, Anzu, and the girl who heard it. The girl flushed and jerked back and looked around, She bit her lip and nodded quickly and coughed into her hand. Anzu pouted but Yugi just smiled.
"How'd ya figur' that one out?" The girl questioned as she opened the notepad. Yugi shrugged and chuckled.
"I've been around people, so I know when someone is faking." Yugi answered. The girl grumbled something along the lines of 'How smart.' "I'll have a water." The girl noted it down and glanced toward Anzu, Anzu smiled.
"I'll have a diet coke." Anzu told her, the girl nodded and wrote it down.
"Got it." The girl flipped her notebook close and looked around before she leaned down. "Name's Rebecca." She said before she quickly walked off. Anzu looked confused and sighed.
"I thought the accent was cute." Anzu commented in a grumble. Yugi laughed.
"I thought it was cute too, but it was obviously fake."
"It was not obvious."
"It was too."
"Explain yourself."
"It was too heavy to be." Yugi smiled and looked out the window, the place they had chosen to eat at wasn't too far away from their house, so he could see the small house on the hill he had seen. It was harder to see, but none the less it could be seen. Why would there be a single lonely house on a hill in a place like this? Yugi placed his elbow on the table and rested his chin in his palm, it was so...out of place.
"Yer hubby is eying up that ol' house over yonder." Rebecca told Anzu as she walked back with a silver platter in her hands with two see through glasses on top of it. Anzu nodded, Yugi seemed to be thinking very hard about the thing he was looking at...Wait...House?
"What house?" Anzu questioned as Rebecca placed the drinks in front of the couple, Yugi looked up and said thank you. Rebecca gestured toward the window.
"The ol' house of despair." Rebecca thought for a moment. "Well...that's what I like ta call et." Yugi looked at her with a smile.
"You're trying too hard on that accent of yours."
"You hush up." Rebecca pouted and pointed at the house on the hill with the side of her platter. "What ya lookin' at that ol' thing for anyhow?" Yugi shrugged.
"It seems interesting..."
"Did ya not jus' hear my nickname fer that house?" Rebecca rose an eyebrow and placed her hands on her hips, one hand was still holding the platter.
"Yeah I heard it." Yugi replied. "Why do you call it that?" He was curious, the house of despair? Sounds interesting...
"Yer new aroun' these parts, ain't ya?" Rebecca questioned as she smiled and shook her head. "Dun madda, I s'pose." She looked at the house and her eyes narrowed.
"Two folks." Rebecca held up two fingers. "Wen' up to that house there and never came back, as if they ha' disappeared." She made a whoosh sound and made the two fingers flutter. Anzu rolled her eyes while Yugi listened closely to every word she said.
"Who were the two?" Yugi asked, wanting to hear more. Anzu wanted to eat, but she didn't interrupt the two's conversation. Rebecca looked up in thought
"They were aroun' the age of ,I belie', twenty." Rebecca said. "One was a married man and the othe' one was a man who no one really liked much." She sighed as she thought some more.
"The married one was a frien' of mines too." She continued. "Two of my frien's, the two got married aroun' four years ago. The wife of the married one works here." She looked around, as if wanting to try to the woman.
"What the person's name?" Yugi questioned. Rebecca scrunched her face up.
"Not ta be rude, bu' I dun like bringin' up names of the dead." Rebecca told him, Yugi was taken back by this, dead?
"How do you know they're dead?"
"Well he ain't been back fer three years." Rebecca told him, as if annoyed by the question he had said. Yugi apologized quickly and quietly.
"I didn' know the non married one, but I knew enough to know he went up to the house." Rebecca said. "He would come in here, talk about wantin' to check the thing out, he's been gone fer around six months." Rebecca looked around and rested her eyes on a clock.
"Sorry, but we'd got to cut this here talk short." Rebecca held the platter out and pressed it against her stomach, she took out the notepad and pencil from before. She placed the pencil in her mouth and opened the notepad, she took out the pencil and licked her lips.
"What'll ya'll hav'?"

"I'm exhausted!" Anzu cried out as she collapsed on the king sized bed in the main bedroom. The carpet was a dark red brick color and the walls were a dark chocolate brown, there was a body mirror, a walk in closet, dressers, and a bookshelf. Yugi didn't want to voice it, but he didn't really like the room much. The two had eaten after the talk and had talked more to Rebecca, Yugi had learned that she only did the accent to earn more tips because many people thought the accent was cute and that her grandfather owned the diner. When they had returned home, they had began to unpack some items, they had unpacked half of the kitchen, all of the two bathrooms, and half of their main bedroom. Their bed was covered by soft comfy purple blankets with white sheets, their pillows matched the color of the blanket.
"Then you should go to sleep." Yugi said as he yawned and sat on the bed. Anzu mumbled and got up, only to get back on the bed the right way. Anzu got under the covers, Yugi did likewise. Anzu snuggled up to Yugi and nuzzled his neck, as if she was a kitten. Yugi usually would kiss her on the forehead and then say goodnight, but he wasn't really thinking at that moment. He was only thinking about the house. Two people went and never returned...It was tempting, it was exciting! What if he could go and become the person who went in and did come out? Yugi felt a rush go through his body and smiled, he felt Anzu shuffle closer.
"Yugi..." Anzu whispered. Yugi cursed mentally, Anzu knew him as good as she knew the back of her hand. That meant whatever he thought about- "Stop thinking about the house and go to sleep..."
She somehow knew.
