Here is the first chapter of a new story...actually I wrote it over the school year, so it's not so new...

It has a kind of wierd plot and is a little slow at first, but will get better, I promise! The main pairings are: Valon/Joey (although Joey doesn't appear until later) and Serenity/Kaiba. There is shonen-ai, light yaoi, and mentions of Mpreg in this; so if you don't like that go read something else! There are also a couple of OC's in later chapters, but that will be explained later.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Nope, I still do not own Yugioh or the characters...only the plot and my OC's!


Children of the Orichalcos

Chapter 1: Wake up call

Valon opened his eyes slowly. His vision was blurry and his head hurt like hell. He tried to wipe his eyes, but his body wouldn't respond. Calmly as possible, he looked around the room. The white walls and smell of disinfectants told him he was in a hospital. Tiredly, he laid his head down and fell back asleep.

He groaned as he was awakened a second time. A nurse ran over to him. "Sir? Sir, are you awake?" She sounded a bit frantic. He looked up at her, his eyes having cleared a bit. "Doz it look like I'm sleepin?" he slurred drunkenly. She looked shocked as she turned and ran out of the room, screaming something about a miracle as she flew down the hall. He sat up slowly, trying to assess the situation. Valon didn't feel hurt, just delirious and a bit fatigued. Nervously, he glanced around the room, wondering what was going on.

A young man entered the room, who was apparently a doctor. He stared at Valon with a shocked expression. Valon's eye twitched. The man continued to gaze blankly at him. "What?" Valon snapped, tired of being stared at. The man jumped in surprise. "Sorry, it's just a shock to see you so well all of a sudden." The doctor replied softly. Valon blinked. "Wha'dya mean by that?" The doctor shifted slightly. "This may come as a shock, but you have been in a coma for over 17 years." Valon's eyes widened. The doctor continued, "But strangely enough, you haven't aged at all since you were brought here." Valon had a blank but slightly terrified look on his face. "Um, this is a joke right?" He asked anxiously. The doctor shook his head. "Sorry, I'm afraid not."

"Can you stand?" the doctor asked him. "I suppose so," Valon said, "I sat up jus fine." He stood up slowly. The world seemed to spin for a minute, before he regained control of his senses. Calmly, he walked across the room and back. "Amazing!" the doctor exclaimed. He yawned. "Not really Doc." He replied casually. The doctor smiled slightly. "Well, it is compared to how comatose you have been the last several years…tell me, what do you remember about the crash?" "Crash?" Valon asked. "Oh, now I remember, I took my motorcycle and was cruising around…I'd gotten into a fight wit the person I was staying with at the time and decided ta let out some of my frustration. By the time it got dark; I came to the conclusion that it was my fault and headed back to apologize to him when…" The doctor nodded to him. "Go on." He urged. "I was hit my something…couldn't see what it was…wasn't a vehicle, as far as I could tell, it was moving too fast. All I could see was a blur before I was hit." The doctor mused. "Well, how bizarre…never had a patient say something like that." Valon suddenly remembered something. "Crap! Is there a phone near by?" The doctor nodded. "Calling your family? We would have, but we couldn't identify you to find your records." Valon shook his head. "No, a friend…well I hope he doesn't hate me, at least." The doctor nodded in understanding. "The phone is just around the corner."

He cursed as he flipped through the Domino section of the phone book. "Not here…how can it not be in here?" The doctor thought a minute. "Perhaps your friend moved. Seventeen years is a long time, you know. I haven't even been a doctor for that long." Valon sighed. "Well, so much for apologizin'. What will I do now?" "Don't you have family you can contact?" asked the doctor. "No," Valon said sadly, "I'm an only child and an orphan." "I see…" the doctor said, "I could help you find a job." He offered. Valon sighed again. "Doubt I could really get a decent job. I dropped out of high school an' couldn't afford college. Most of what I do know is probably outdated anyways." The doctor thought for a minute. "I know of a good summer school, they don't charge a fee and offer College level classes, although I've heard people say that the teachers give huge amounts of homework and people have even claimed that the grounds are haunted…but not everyone believes things like that. It sounds like a good deal to get a free education, but lots of people drop out each year. If you're interested, I can give you the address of the school." Valon sweat dropped. "Are you trying to encourage me, or scare me?" The doctor chuckled. "Sorry, just telling you what I've been told. So, are you interested?" He asked. Valon gave a nervous look before nodding.
