YuGiOh FanFiction: Chapter 1- The Tears of a Forgotten Soul

A young man, maybe about 15 or 16 years old leans against a wall near a classroom door in Domino High. His hair was black and tipped fiery red. Its style was carefree; though only gelled so it would stand up. What was too long to push up, hung loosely, a bit past this shoulders. Pushed back neatly behind both his ears was a long strand of golden blonde hair that looked so unnatural that it was probably from a time when his hair was dyed that color. The teen's eyes were colored strangely. They were a greenish color, having a small sparkle to them, which made the eyes resemble something close to perfectly rounded off emeralds. His skin was very tan, which shows that he must have been from a desert country, possibly, Egypt. Whether or not he was from another country and not just another town was answered on a white band around his right arm. It had two letters on it, "EX" for exchange student. In the teenager's hands was a book. Its cover was black, and it looked very old.and very valuable. It was to anyone's guess as to why he would bring a book like that to a school where anything valuable or treasured was stolen or vandalized. Little did any peer know that he never put this book down for a second.
The bell rang and the student jumped, realizing what it was, he laughs, and watches as fellow peers slid open the doors of the rooms and walked out of the classrooms, heading for their next class. Although he was getting uneven glances from passing students, he took no heed, not caring what they thought right now. Once everyone had filed out of the room he was waiting to enter, he walked inside slowly, nervous, but excited. The teacher at the desk looked up from her papers and smiled.

"I see, so you must be Runihura, am I correct?"

Relieved that his teacher seemed so nice, he spoke, "Yes.but you can call me Runi. I'd like that a lot better, Miss." "Okay, Runi, you can sit down. By the way, my name is Ms. Rumiyu, I will be your Math teacher."

"Oh", he smiles taking a seat in the front and watching the class file inside. Once everyone was there, class starts. After introductions, the teacher writes an algebra problem on the board:

"Okay class, I want you to solve this problem. You have five minutes, no calculators. Raise your hand when you are finished. Begin." Instantly after Ms. Rumiyu finishes talking, Runi's hand shoots up.

"Yes, Runi?" she says, cocking an eyebrow.

Runihura straightened up and puts down his hand, smiling, and says "The answer is 93733 and one-third. Ms. Rumiyu, that was way too easy, I think you need harder problems."

The whole class, ever Ms. Rumiyu blinks, looking at him, their mouths dropped open in shock, "WHAT?!"

"I'm telling you, Yug! The kid's just not normal!"

Yugi sighs, the new student had definitely stunned many people in A LOT of classes. Pushing open the cafeteria doors, they glance around, looking for somewhere to sit. Téa and Tristan would have to come later. Their language teacher always had them help her after class, even if they said no.

"Great, no where to sit." said an apparently annoyed Joey.

"Well, there is one table open. Only the exchange student is sitting there." Yugi says as he glances at Joey.

"There is absolutely no WAY I'm sitting by that creepy kid!" Too late, Yugi already started walking that way.

"Fine," he said, "You can walk to the other side of the school and go to the second cafeteria, that is if you avoid getting caught by that bully of a hall monitors. He's worse than Ushiro or something like that."

"Uh." Joey blinks, "On second thought.Hey! Wait!"

Both head over to the table Runi was sitting at. Apparently looking comfortable, Runi had his feet on the table looking down at the black book he'd been carrying around all day. Yugi gets a quick glance at it and blinks, because it was not written in characters. It was, though, written in Egyptian.

The second Joey and Yugi sit, Runi looks up from the strange book and blinks. He turns his emerald green eyes at Joey and smiles, then looks at Yugi and stops smiling. Runi was suddenly getting sick to his stomach. It was something about Yugi that his mind did not like at all. However, not to show his mind's dislike, he smiles again. "Uh, hello, my name's Runihura, but you can just call me Runi."

"My name's Yugi and this is Joey," Yugi said as responses while he took out a brown paper bag, "Did you bring a lunch?"

Runi shook his head and shuts the black book he'd been looking at with one hand, "No, I didn't have any money to buy, and besides, I'm not hungry." He glances at Joey, noticing that he had been staring. "Is something the matter, Joey?"

Yugi, realizing that Joey looked like something to the aspect of a zombie, he kicked him under the table. Suddenly snapping out of it, Joey nods, "Yeah, yeah, I like pickled salamanders too."

Looking at Joey a little unhappily, Runi crosses his arms, "If you two think I'm weird like everyone else does, then I'd rather you don't sit here."

"Who are you to tell us where we can sit?!" said Joey, ticked. Runi shrugs and stands.

"Then, I'll leave."

He does, pushing in his chair. Grabbing his old black book, Runi sighs and walks out of the cafeteria. So far, his first day of school at Domino High had gone completely wrong. Was it such a problem that he was new here? It wasn't like anything was different at home anyway. No, Egypt wasn't his home anymore. He wasn't wanted there. It seemed he wasn't wanted here either. "Then what's my existence for?" Runi thought to himself.

"Hey punk! What are yah doin' outta class?"

Runi looks up into the eyes of a hall monitor. He gets extremely frightened, stuttering when he talks, as accidentally dropping his book. How stupid he had been to forget about the hall monitor in this school. Mean and brutal.

"I-I w-w-was heading t-to the r-restroom, hall monitor." he lied.

"Where's your pass?"

"P-Pass?"

"You need a pass for the bathroom." "I-I don't h-have one." Runi said, looking down.

"I knew you were lyin'! Your eyes are full of tears, and you passed here twree times."

"Oh.I.I'm very sorry."

"I also you know your that super smart weirdo named Runihura." the hall monitor said, smirking. "Well, I'm Renyo.and I'm going to teach you a lesson about when you wander my halls without a pass."

"I-I think it'd be best it I g-g-got back to class now." Runi says, taking a slight step back.

"I think.NOT. I'm gonna teach you a lesson in pain, and it's.mandatory, twerp." Renyo cracks his knuckles, and before Runi could run, Renyo has his hand around Runi's neck and lifts his off the ground.

"Please!" yelled Runi, panic-stricken, "Please! Put me down!"

"Why? We only just got started." Renyo slams him against the cement wall like a rock, while Runi recoils in pain, "You KNOW when I'm done!"

He knees the Egyptian in the stomach several times. Holding him as high as he could, Renyo drops Runi. When he hits the ground Runi yelps loudly, painful tears sliding out of his eyes.but becoming tears of blood.

"I dun't like when guys cry!" Renyo says as he kicks Runi in each shoulder twice, "Now stand up!"

Yet, Runi does not stand, an insane laugh coming from the bottom of his heart and the emptiness of his soul. Renyo blinks, confused, "Why the hell are you laughing you creep?!"

"I'm laughing," said Runi, his voice oddly deeper, "Because you are about to die, you stupid idiot."

Raising himself to his feet with very little effort (which was surprising yet with all his injuries), Runi smirks, his head still hanging low and his face covered in shadow. "DIE!" He looks up, his eyes crimson and narrower, a huge scar on his right cheek. "May you be lost forever and erased from the memory of all."

Taking his hand and lifting it to the level of Renyo's heart, he mutters something in Ancient Egyptian, possibly and incantation because the second he finished the words, Renyo's body went ridged. The hall monitor's face goes pale and he looked as if he was growing old, then his body started to rot and turning into a skeleton, which became dust, a white mist hovering above the small pile of particles.

"You do not compete with the powers of darkness, my friend." The strange Runi said as he picked up his black book and opened it to a black page. "Come, soul."

The white mist flies into the black book and Egyptian words form on the blank page. With a snap, the dark and horrid Runi shuts the book. The second every page of the book had fallen in its place, Runi shuts his eyes and falls into a faint, landing hard onto the ground.

******

Feeling dizzy and aching all over Runi opens his eyes; where was he? He glances around the room and blinks. All white, everything was white. It must have been a hospital.or something.a nurse walks in the room followed by a young teen, who Runi had never seen before, though they were about the same age. The boy had platinum blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Oh, so I see you are coming around." The nurse said, putting down a tray with milk and a sandwich on it. "Well, eat up...It will make you feel better."

The boy sits on the edge of Runi's bed and smiles.
