Could we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
Yugi laid on the grass of the park. His head was pillowed on his hands, his breathing even and calm. The wind stirred his hair softly. Even though he was in the park he was protected. A small part of the park was hidden from sight, not a soul, except Yugi, knew of its existence.
Yugi was dreaming of happier times. Times when he had friends who didn't forget him. Times when he would laugh with true joy and not a fake and forced laugh. Times when his smile was assured and real, not saddened and empty. Those were the times he dreamed of, his times of happiness.

Atem had taken the left side of town. He had looked everywhere, every alley, every store. Any place he could think of to find Yugi. Yet nothing, all his efforts had been in vain. The smaller teen had simply disappeared.
Though as Atem thought about it he realized that was untrue. Yugi hadn't disappeared, he'd faded. Slowly, like a ghost, a memory, a dream. He had been left behind, Atem realized. They, Joey, Tristan, Duke, Tea, Yami, Seto, Heba, Bakura, Ryou, Malik, Marik, and even himself, had one by one forgotten the small teen that brought them together.
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish. To go back to a place much simpler than this. 'Cause after all the partyin' and the smashin' and crashin'.
How could he forget! He forgot his own light, the one person who could balance his own darkness. His look a like, forgotten, by all those he cared about. It was horrible, stupid, immature, and about a thousand other things. His light had been left alone for so long now.
Now they notice the missing member of their group. After he had gone missing, right under their noses. Yami had taken the right side of the city with Joey, Tristan, and Tea. Nothing so far. No sign of the smaller teen. Worry had long since wormed its way into his gut. The fear that they would never find the little light.
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion. And all the pandemonium and all the madness. There comes a time where you fade to the blackness.
Heba sprinted to the park as fast as he could. He knew that was the place his brother went most often to hide, or to get away from a painful memory. He was followed by Bakura, Ryou, and Seto. The only thing he could focus on was the pounding of his heart and feet. The park loomed ahead and he pushed himself even faster, he had to find his twin.
He knew something had been missing from their group. It was too late now as he realized it wasn't a something, but a someone. His breath puffed out of his chest, he was losing air from running. Truthfully, he didn't care. All that mattered to him was finding his brother, his twin. He wasn't about to give up now.
And when your starin' at that phone in your lap. And your hopin' but them people never call you back.
He knew they weren't coming. He wasn't quite sure why he thought they would. He had been forgotten, why would they remember now? Maybe it would be best if he left. He could try to be happy again. Start a new life, away from Domino, away from those he thought cared about him. Maybe it would be for the best if he left.
'It might be better than here.' Yugi thought as he stared at the stars. 'Maybe I could leave by plane. Fly up in the night sky with the stars. I could get away, be happy, it might be best. It's not like I will be missed. No one realizes I'm here now.'
But that's just how the story unfolds. You get another hand soon after you fold. And when your plans unravel in the sand. What would you do wish for if you had one chance?
Leanna leaned against a large oak tree. Her back rested on the solid wood and a small smile drifted on her face. She knew where Yugi was. She could sense him where ever he went. His aura was still strong, its light gold color pulsing around his hiding place. Another aura appeared in her line of sight.
She knew the color. The crimson tinted gold was familiar to her, almost like the brother of her own aura. Heba appeared soon after his aura did. His feet pounding on the earth, his breath coming in gasps. He stopped before Leanna and leaned over his knees, trying to catch his breath from running. Leanna shook her head at him.
So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late, I'm on my way so don't close that gate. If I don't make that then I'l switch my flight. And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night.
Heba stopped when he spotted the other teen. His eyes narrowed upon the teen, his gaze hardening and growing cold. The other teen regarded him coolly without even shifting. Her blue hair swung down by her thighs and her head bounced lightly. A breeze filtered into the clearing, blowing the dead or fallen leaves across the ground.
"Where is he?" Heba demanded in a loud voice.
"Somewhere and nowhere." Leanna replied.
"You know, yet you hide him." Heba stated.
"True. It is his choice if he wishes to see you or not. I'm just his guardian and friend." Leanna agreed.
"I'm in no mood for your petty games!" Heba's anger grew.
"I play no "Petty games"." Leanna calmly spoke.
Heba growled deep in his throat.
"That sounds like a threat." Leanna noted.
"Where is he?" Heba demanded again.
"I will not tell you. It is his choice if you know." Leanna repeated herself from earlier.

Atem finally gave up. He was near the central part of Domino. Not a single sign of Yugi had appeared. There was nothing, nothing but the fear that Yugi was gone and that he had left, forever. Atem didn't want Yugi to leave, not in any life would he want that. Yugi was like a little brother to him. Atem hoped with all his being that Yugi was safe, even if he had left.
Raised voices floated on the air to him. One he recognized instantly, it was one he would always love to hear. The voice belonged to his boyfriend, Heba. Heba was Yugi's twin and the lover of Atem. Atem moved to the voice and found Heba glaring daggers at another teen, this one female. She looked familiar, but Atem couldn't place where he had seen her before. It just confused him greatly.
Yeah, Yeah, somebody take me back to the days. Before this was a job, before I got paid. Before it mattered what I had in my bank.
Leanna watched as more of Yugi's former friends and family appeared one by one. All of whom were staring at her, most in confusion. Her head bounced to a beat only she could hear. Her hair swayed in the wind gently brushing her legs as it moved. A figure in the distance caught her eye.
Sharp spiky hair tipped in a blood red grew closer to the location of the group and Leanna. The figure could been seen to be a male, tall and muscular. He too had the ability to see the auras of other people in the world. Unlike Leanna, he often left his ability off or dormant. A rare smile flitted onto Leanna's face, making her seem almost angelical.
Yeah, back when I was tryin' to get a tip at Subway. And back when I was rappin' for the hell of it. But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevent.
The male figure moved closer and his eyes tracked the entire group of colorful aura's in front of him. All of the aura's had one single thing in common. Each one had a thick stripe of black across the middle of the glow. Black meant they had forgotten. They had forgotten something, or someone, that was important to Gaia, the Earth Mother. Some had red around the black; they had angered Gaia and now they were marked.
"Kana." Leanna's voice snapped him out of his trance.
"Re." The man, Kana, replied smoothly.
"That is not what I go by Kanashimi." Leanna growled at him.
"It doesn't matter." Kanashimi shrugged. "We need to be going soon. She has a mission for us. We will need the Little One though."
"Fine. I'll go get him. Stop them" She pointed to the group of teens "from following me. I'll meet you at our ride, you know how to find us."
"Then get going." Kanashimi ushered her on.
I'm guessin' that if we can make some wishes outta' airplanes, then maybe yo maybe I'll go back to the days. Before the politics that we call the rap game.
Yugi heard the bushes next to him rustle and he jumped. His head whipped around to see Leanna push through. Yugi's head dropped to his chest as he realized that his "friends" didn't truly care. They didn't care to find him, they never had. He was alone in a cold cruel world. Not a soul cared for him, they all left eventually.
"How did you find me?" Yugi whispered brokenly.
"I can see auras." Leanna didn't hesitate.
"You have a special power?" Yugi looked up.
"I have multiple." Leanna said "You have one too Yugi." She added.
"How would you know?" Yugi questioned.
"Your aura."
"What is my power?"
"Your an elemental. You can bend the elements to your will." Leanna told him "You are also a seer. You can see auras. I will show you how, if you come with me."
"I have no friends to leave behind. No friends at all."
"You have me." Leanna held her hand out to the smaller boy.
"Let's go." Yugi gripped the extended hand and followed Leanna out of the clearing.
And back when ain't nobody listen to my mixtape And back before I tried to cover up my slang But this is for the hater, what's up Bobby Ray? So can I get a wish To end the politics And get back to the music That started this shit? So here I stand and then again I say I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta' airplanes.
Yugi sat next to Leanna and looked down at Domino City. He was leaving, getting away. He was on to something better with his new friends, Leanna and Kanashimi.
I know you may think he was in an airplane, but that is not the case. Instead, he rode on the back of a dragon. A small dragon, at least compared to Leanna and Kanashimi's, but a dragon none the less.
That is but the start of this sweet adventure.
