Helloo! So I got the idea for this fic the other day when I was doodling :) I have also been reading alice in the country of hearts and thought it might be interesting to have a YuGiOh spin on alice in wonderland! It wont stick to the story exactly, I mean there will be twists and turn in it :D
Apologies for bad grammar and spelling in advance I'm not using the best stuff to write these on haha but I will try my best :D
This will be Puzzleshipping Yoai along with other random usual pairings you have been warned.
He groaned in relief as he took off his heavy crown and placed it carefully on the delicately carved, oak bed side table. Rubbing his heavy eyes, he sat down on the large king sized bed.
The silk bedsheets begged him to lay down and drift off. He gave in , taking off his red and black patterned jacket, throwing it on the floor messily. As he started to unbutton his dark crimson shirt, his hands brushed the gold pyramid shaped pendant that hung round his neck. He traced his finger over all the the edges and around the eye in the center.
"You should take that off Atemu" A low voice hummed from behind.
He let out a frustrated sigh and turned around. Over by the window, a figure contently laid on the balcony edge. White shaggy hair falling gracefully down his back, blue cat ears twitching at the top of his head, he opened his bright yellow eyes, dilated pupils forming into thin slits.
"I'll remove my puzzle if you remove your ring, Bakura" Atemu folded his arms.
"That's different." Bakura sat up from the ledge. The dream-catcher shaped ring hanging from a rope round his neck. Jingling lightly in the soft breeze.
Atemu let out a light chuckle. "How is it different?"
" Me, and that psycho…We met our other halves, our lights. These ancient artefacts, they hold darkness… They don't effect us." The white haired cat answered.
" That's just a fairy tale, A bed time story. Were not children anymore." Atemu turned away, concealing his anger… his pain.
"Its changing you and you know it! You need to take it off until you find your light." The cat-man hissed. His striped blue and white tail twitching.
"Its not MY FAULT my light didn't arrive on that day all those sooth sayers kept raving in about. My light isn't coming. Ive accepted that." He lied. "I've been crowned and I don't have a choice! I need to wear it. SO back the hell off and mind your own business" Atemu continued angrily.
"Fine." Bakura stood up straightening up his trench coat,"But I warned you!" He said. Jumping elegantly off the balcony.
Atemu shook his head and looked up at the twilight sky. "I believed in you, I hoped for you, I waited for you… but your not real. You never were, I guess my mother was right." He mumbled to himself before drawing the curtains.
-100 Years later-
A young man, sat under a low hanging willow tree in the beautiful garden, large trees surrounded by hundreds of blooming flowers. The air around filled with a mixture beautiful fragrances. But, even in this peaceful haven, Yugi still couldn't stop the tears streaming down his face.
Behind him a fair distance away, stood a grand mansion. To the naked eye, it was a busy and bustling place with many servants and various high standing people coming and going. But in all honesty for Yugi, it had been like a prison all his life. His parents where extremely wealthy, owning many different properties all around the world.
From the day he was born, he had been left in his grandfathers care. To busy with their business to raise a child or even to come visit any of his eighteen birthdays. Even though they didn't care enough to visit their son, they still had the nerve to demand that he be home schooled and that he go into the family business when he was old enough. His grandfather did the best he could for Yugi, he was his best friend in the whole world, his only 'real' friend anyway. The servants were there just because it was a job. The many lords that visited were to see his grandfather and hardly said a word to him. The constant guard whenever he or his grandfather took a trip away from the house scared anyone who dared even get close enough. Not to say he didn't have a childhood, between his lessons, he often took a walk with his grandfather in the giant gardens and took him out on trips. He was a lovely man, who raised Yugi to be a such a kind, caring, gentle soul. He was an amazing man.
His funeral had been held earlier today.
Yugi's parents had actual came to the funeral. He could hardly believe it. But afterwards when they had actually spoke to their son in person, for the first time he could remember, they didn't like what they saw. Sure Yugi was smart, aced every subject and did everything he had ever been asked, but he was to 'soft' to 'naïve' to run the family business. They decided that they would send his aunt to train him, harden him up.
She had come over to look after Yugi for a few weeks once when he was small. His grandfather had an emergency in Europe he had to go sort. She was cruel, torturous, even bordering on evil. He barely survived those few weeks. Yugi had begged his parents not to but stopped when his father physically attacked him, punched him for disrespect. In which he ran to the gardens, to his favourite place in the whole world.
He rubbed his tears off with his black suited sleeve, not having chance to change with all the drama. He didn't know what to do anymore.
A whiney voice in the distance broke him from his thoughts. Scuffling forward he moved the branches creating an opening through the willow tree. Looking out down the garden path, was a figure, face rather flustered. He was wearing a brown waistcoat with a red bowtie with small black hearts patterned across, a large clock hung from a chain on the pockets of his puffy grey trousers, His eyes were a warm brown, his straight white hair and were those….bunny ears on his head!?
Yugi had to blink a few time. Must be his mind playing games, obviously. Maybe it was the grief combined with the heat of the day. No matter how much he rubbed his eyes the flustered bunny-man was still there.
"That damn cat. Playing tricks on me all the time. He's gonna make me so late!" The bunny man whined to himself. Running down the path away from Yugi.
Yugi was beyond curious. His brain was playing tricks on him, but he wanted to find out what this imaginary bunny was late for. At least it would take his mind away from his problems for a while. He quickly ran down the path and followed the bunny through an opening between the huge hedges that bordered the garden. It felt like he had been running ages. The area had been getting more and more overgrown. The trees getting more twisted and the path hardly visible from all the weeds and wild plants. He didn't remember this part of the garden at all. In the distance he saw the bunny open some large rusted gates before disappearing suddenly.
Yugi walked up to the gates, various markings in a language he had never seen, had been engraved into it. It looked like they had once been beautiful, golden master crafted gates, but had been neglected. They had started rust and weaken. Beyond the gate, it was hard to see barely any light could through the thick foliage..
He had two choices. Go back face the music, respect his parents wishes or just for a little longer lose himself in his curiosity. He knew what he SHOULD do. He also knew what his grandpa would do. He bit his lip and stepped through the gate.
The ground immediately cracked open, creating a giant hole in the ground. Yugi ran back in panic but wasn't quick enough as the ground open beneath him swallowing him.
Let me know what you think ^_^
