Thoughts About Father

Summary: Yugi, Joey, Seto, Duke, Ryou, Tristan-they have father's, don't they? Here are their thoughts on their dads. A Father's Day fic.


Chapter 1: Yugi

Daddy is away. On a trip. He's been on a trip for as long as I can remember. He hasn't written, though. Not this month. Hasn't called either. I love my father. Even if he is on the trip. He usually writes-long, detailed letters. He calls too, most of the time, and I love hearing his voice, deep and strong. Once in a while hevisits. I adore it when he does.

Daddy is a good man. A bussinesman. Sometimes I get sad when I look at him. Because Takada Moto is tall, six foot four. Because he is hansome and charming and wonderful. All the things I will never be.

Yami likes him too, he says that daddy is a kind, pure man. But still, I get sad sometimes, and angry. Why did I inherit my mother's traits more then my father's? It isn't fair. And Yami hates him for this, for making me feel small. I know he knows it is wrong, but it just happens. Even so, I wish I was like father. But I am not. I am petite, I am a punching bag, I am afraid. Sure, I have some talents, but...

Even so, I adore him. Which is why as, rather suddenly, my mother comes into the classroom and grabs me by the arm, I have a dark feeling. I ask her, time and time again, what is wrong? What is wrong? But she does not answer. Her eyes are red from crying, and she looks shocked. I wish I could help her, but I cannot, for I am just as lost as she is.

The shop is closed, but Grampa is there. I wonder why...

Suddenly, my mother breaks down once more.

What's wrong mom? Why do you cry?

I know what is wrong, I know even before Grampa tells me.

For the past month...daddy wasn't on a trip.

He was ill. But he didn't tell me, he didn't tell us.

And suddenly, I know why, as I bury my face in my knees. He didn't tell us because he knew I would fret. He did not think I was strong enough to handle the news, did he? He did not tell me so I would not fret. But now I am fretting more them ever.

Didn't you believe daddy? Didn't you believe in me?

Suddenly I look up, feeling fire in my heart.

You may not have believed in me in life, father. But in death, I'll show you, I'll show you how you were wrong.

I will make you proud.
