Forever Dream

"Here, Girl! Here's your pay." The big burly man looking satisfied pulled up his pants and handed Yugi fifty dollars before shoving her out the door. Her damp hair clung to the nape of her neck as she stood out in the pouring rain. Grudgingly, she walked onto the street and then into a darkened alleyway.

Looking around her home for the past two days she crawled into the cardboard box. She brushed a blonde bang behind her ear and slept, wet, tired, and miserable.

Yami Matsuya woke to a small strand of light peeking through his red velvet curtains and hitting his face. He yawned and shifted to turn away from the light. The light persisted shining now through more cracks in the space between the curtains and onto his light blue pajamas. He groaned and got out of bed.

Walking over to the curtain he fingered the soft velvet felt. Sighing he went to the silk rope at the edge of the curtain. He pulled gently and the huge curtain opened shining light. Yami shielded his eyes as the light struck him illuminating his features. His blonde hair shimmered like gold in the light. Bright red eyes looked out of the window.

His hands gently touched the windowpane. His fingers were delicate but firm a sign of nobility. He stalked back to his bed and gently smoothed out the wrinkles before quickly changing into his proper attire.

Sighing again he walked to the door. He rested his hand on the doorknob before turning it and walking into the huge balcony that overlapped over the living room. Carefully making his way to the stairs we rested his hand on the ivory rail and walked down. When he reached the bottom he looked around and seeing that there was no one there he walked briskly to the hall. Slipping out of the house he walked toward the Iron Gate that fenced in Matsuya Manor.



Yugi woke up damp and cold. Small rays of sunlight shone through the rips in the cardboard. A particulary large rip shone on her face. She blinked and wriggled out of the dilapidated box. Her hard violet looked around. They softened at this familiar home surrounding. Trashcans spilled over here and there, rats crawling around, thrown out boxes and food lying around. She walked through the alleyway stepping on manure, cereal boxes, and leftover Chinese food. Reaching the street outside she blended into the crowd and disappeared.



Yami sidestepped past his bodyguards and dashed out into the street. He would get in so much trouble if his parents caught him out here mingling with the "lowlifes" and "slum trash". Still, he liked being with the middle class. He liked seeing their smiling, happy faces even though they weren't rich. He liked their fierce determination to get up everyday and get through their hard work. He walked around the city through lunch and for some time after that before glimpsing a pretty young girl. He blinked. She was gone. Determined to find her he pushed through the crowd.



"Oh my God," whispered Yugi "Oh my God. I saw him. I saw him." Hurriedly gathering her belongings she ran out into the street and into another alley. She slowed down to catch her breath and slowly sank to the floor. Cradling her head in her hands she whispered, "Yami Matsuya, the Matsuya family, I hate them all!" Tears rolled down Yugi's trembling face as she remembered. A burning building…she fainted.



Yami looked around the crowded street. The girl was gone. Shaking his head he trudged back home. He hadn't gone more than a few yards before he heard a quiet sobbing. Following his ear he silently walked into a dark alleyway. Straining his eyes he saw the girl up ahead lying on the ground. Reaching the girl he bent down and felt her pulse. "Still alive" he muttered. He picked her up gently and started walking towards his home. Upon reaching his home, the Matsuya Estate, he gently threw Yugi over his shoulder and started scaling the wall to his room window.

Careful not to blister his hands he gripped small protrusions from the wall. His delicate, but firm hands gripped the ledges with a strong grip. Reaching his window, he deftly slipped it open before sliding into his room. Laying Yugi on the bed he turned around and closed the window firmly. He moved back to the bed and sat next to the unconscious body.

He gently brushed the bangs that fell onto her face. He breathed God she's beautiful he thought. Like…like…like and angel. Changing quickly into his resting attire he walked out into the hall and called "Mother, I'm home!" A thin tall lady came out of the room at the end of the hall. Her face was covered with makeup and she wore earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets. "Oh Hello, Yami…" she drawled " Do be a dear and tell your father dinner is in half an hour."

"Yes, Mother" he replied and scurried off. As he left he heard his mom opening his sister's door and saying "Anzu dear, dinner is in thirty minutes."



Yugi awoke and felt herself surrounded by silky blankets. She rubbed against them and purred. Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes. Her vision was blurred as she surveyed her surroundings. This room was magnificent! Huge wide oak door. Big, wide polished mahogany desks.

A huge window with velvet curtains and a silk rope, and a queen sized bed, fit for a king, with silk blankets and a hand-made goose feather pillow. She hopped off the bed and walked towards the door. As she reached towards the doorknob the door swung opened and Yami walked in, both hands filled with boxes. Yugi gasped when she saw him, "Yami…Yami Matsuya!"
