Chapter 1: Gold
"Heh, so long, Aden" said a man cloaked in black as he slammed his hand down on the button, making Aden scream loudly in pain as electricity of some sort shot through his body. He cringed as he was sucked into the very thing that was given to him by his father. The gold hunk fell with a thud to the floor, and the eye of Horus flashed with the candlelight from the room. The man laughed loudly as he picked up this puzzle. "I guess you really were weak. Goodbye" said the man and slammed the golden treasure against the wall. It shattered into many different pieces, all glimmering dully.
"I don't know, he still hasn't come home yet" said Anna on the phone with her friend Marie as she paced the kitchen. A child was giggling in the next room, waiting for his dad to come home so he'd play with him. "Maybe he's working late or something. Don't be worried" said Marie on the other end. "…" Anna didn't reply. Was it possible that their argument a few hours ago really bothered him and he didn't want to come home for a while or so? "Ok Marie, I have to go put little Yugi to bed, ok?" Anna said. "Bye" said Anna, hanging up the phone. She forced a smile and went into the next room to retrieve her 3-year old son.
"Come on hunny, time for bed" said Anna, picking up the toddler. "Mummy, where's daddy?" said the child in a gigglish voice, pulling slightly on her dark red hair. "...Daddy's working late hunny, he'll see you in the morning. Now come" she said and carried him to his room.
Anna waited and waited, day after day, but he never came home. Anna called all his friends, all his relatives, even the places he usually hung out at to see if anyone had seen him, but everything came up a no. Days turned into years and finally Anna had the decision that he was not returning, that he had infact left her. And every time Yugi had brought up his father, Anna would get all choked up and begin crying again. Finally she had told Yugi, when he was old enough, that her husband had left her way back when, and in another wave of sobs, Yugi began to console his mother again, him too shedding a few tears.
Finally when Yugi was 13, Anna could not take living alone and seeing yugi's face, looking so very much like his father's, anymore. One day she slipped up and fell asleep at the wheel of her car and that was the end of her. Yugi had used up all his tears that day of her funeral; he no longer wanted to cry anymore. Cry for his mother; cry that his father had left them, not anymore.
2 years later
Yugi, not a little boy anymore, but at the age of a tender 15, was living with his grandfather, who had immediately taken him in when his mother had died. I can say Yugi has had a great two years with his loving grandfather, but then I'd be lying. No, the lifestyle wasn't the problem, grandpa really cared for him, it was just Yugi. Yugi's emotions were very delicate, which caused him a sort of depression. There was nothing anyone could do for him, he was just…well, unhappy. There was only one thing that truly made him feel a slight happier. That was the toy he had found when he was about 8 or 9.
FLASHBACK
Yugi was going around town with his mom, just for fresh air. "Now Yugi, you stay right out here while I go in and get some money from the bank, ok?" asked Anna, handing Yugi a small candy. Yugi nodded and she walked into the bank. Of course, Yugi didn't want to stay, so he just began to wander. He then stumbled onto an abandoned warehouse. Walking inside he felt a wave of sadness, but shook it off. Hearing a sound behind him, he turned quick, only to fall with the quick turn. "Ouch" moaned Yugi, rubbing his face. "Hmm? What's this?" his questioned, picking up a small piece of glittering gold. "Pretty!" the boy said, his amethyst eyes widening as he took in this marvel. Hearing another noise, Yugi quickly got up, stashed this newfound piece of gold and ran out of the warehouse.
End flashback
Yugi occasionally took out this gold and just looked at it, taking in its beauty. He never told his mom about what he found that day, because it was his own little treasure, but looking back, maybe it would have made her happy too. "Too late now" said Yugi repeatedly through the years as he thought about it. Yugi never once tried to look for his father, never once asked because quite frankly, he couldn't care if he ever saw him. He hurt his mother so deeply by leaving; Yugi knew he'd never forgive his father, even if he found him.
Everyday Yugi would look less and less at the gold and more and more he slipped into his own sadness and hatred. Who knew that'd be his downfall. He had no friends except for a boy named Jonouchi and his friend Honda. Even they couldn't stop yugi's downfall. But nobody ever found out what happened to yugi's father, well except for YOU.
