AN: A whole new story based on one song. I heard this song and I have to admit, it sounds so beautiful… until you listen to what the lyrics are saying…
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or the song Come Little Children.
A five year old Yami walked through the woods keeping on the path that would take him home. His basket was full of the wild strawberries him and his mother loved to eat. Yami had gone out earlier that day to play with his friends and had found them. He was halfway home when he heard someone singing.
Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows
Yami stopped and listened. The voice was soft and a bit eerie but it was still the most beautiful thing Yugi had ever heard. His crimson eyes became half lidded and he dropped his basket, not even noticing as he did so. The world had slipped away and the only thing left was that beautiful voice.
Follow sweet children
I'll show thee the way
Through all the pain and the sorrows
Weep not poor children
For life is this way
Murdering beauty and passion
Yami began to walk towards that beautiful voice. He had to find whoever was singing this song. He walked off the path, something he had been told never to do. He wasn't thinking about what he had been told about never straying from the path. The beautiful voice was his only thought as he walked through the dark woods with many dangers waiting inside for anyone foolish enough to enter.
Hush now dear children
It must be this way
To weary of life and deceptions
Rest now my children
For soon we'll awake
Into the calm and the quiet
Yami walked into a circular meadow with a lake on one end that had flower growing around it. In the light of the moon, the place was like the song. It was eerie and yet so beautiful. In the middle of the clearing stood a little boy. He had the palest skin and beautiful amethyst eyes with a button nose and rosy red lips. A faint blush lit his cheeks. His hair was black with red tips and blonde bangs. The boy looked like he was only five like Yami was. He smiled at Yami and motioned him forward. Yami obeyed and walked towards the beautiful creature. As he walked, the boy continued singing.
Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of
The boy stopped singing when he looked into Yami's eyes. His own eyes widened and he reached out and held the boy's shoulder in a grip much tighter than any five year old could have developed. He looked at Yami with fear in his eyes and spoke with the same emotion. "Go. Run away from here and never come back! If you even here the song again, stay away do you hear me? GO!"
Yami ran away as fast as he could, scared now. He had to get away. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him and went into his house, running straight to his mother and into her arms. She was alarmed at first but was soon comforting her son still unaware of what had happened.

"Hey Yami, what are you singing?" Yami turned to look at his friend Bakura. He hadn't even known he was there. It wasn't that he would be teased for singing it's that the song wasn't something he liked others to hear. Yami gave his friend a fake smile.
"Oh nothing, a song I heard in a dream when I was young." Bakura looked at Yami for a moment. He obviously didn't believe him but he dismissed it and started talking. Meanwhile, Yami knew it hadn't been a dream. That song from eleven years ago was definitely no dream. But now at sixteen, Yami had not heard the song again. He would even sometimes go out in the night and listen for it. He wanted to see the beautiful boy again. But Yami did have to wonder, why did the boy turn him away?
AN: I know this chapter is super short but the next one will be super long so please try to forgive me. I will try to have sibling rivalry 2 updated tomorrow.
