~*~Chapter 1~*~

Yugi walked behind his Friends. It was the middle of his freshman year at Domino High. He smiled when he thought of the soon in coming summer break. He wasn't paying attention and accidentally bumped into one of the coolest, most popular and toughest kids at his school...his yami. "Sorry Yami, I didn't mean-" Yugi started apologetically, but Yami didn't even notice the small figure of Yugi. Yugi sighed, same as always, at least they would be hanging out tonight. They would, because today was Yugi's birthday, today he was 15 years old! They were all going to come over and have a party that evening.

At lunch he walked over to his friends. "Hey guys! How are you today?" He asked cheerfully, smiling as he sat down, next to Yami. He was totally unprepared for what happened next.

"Hey, runt, I don't want ya hanging out with us anymore. You're ruining our reputations." Joey suddenly exclaimed angrily. Yugi stared at him, shocked.

"Joey's right, you're just some annoying worthless kid we hung out with because we felt sorry for you, but now your just getting on our nerves." Tristan agreed.

The mean remarks continued, from Duke, to Bakura, to Tea, till only three people hadn't said anything, Yami, Kaiba, and Ryou, who was absent. Yami turned to Yugi. Yugi expected Yami to comfort him and yell at the others, not say, "I'm ashamed I ever called you 'abiou,' you weakling. Just leave us be!" Kaiba turned to Yugi, and Yugi could see immense anger in his usually emotionless eyes. Before the CEO could say anything, Yugi ran. No one saw him for the rest of the school day.

After school, when he was being driven home, Kaiba saw Yugi in the park. He got out of the car and quickly strode over to the grief stricken figure of his short classmate. Yugi looked at Kaiba in fear, not wishing to hear another rejection. Kaiba looked at him, ashamed, and began. "Yugi, I had no idea that that group of, bozos, would do that to you. Yugi, what are you doing tonight? You can stay at my house if you want, unless you want to go home. Mokuba would love to see you; he couldn't wait for your party so that he could give you his present. Oh, speaking of which, here's my present." Kaiba took out an envelope and handed it to Yugi. Yugi opened it and saw a necklace. It had a black cord with a black symbol, which looked like a T with a loop on top of it. It way the Egyptian symbol for life. Yugi looked up at Kaiba and thanked him. Kaiba smiled as they left to get into Kaiba's limo.

Mokuba was surprised, delighted, confused then enraged when he saw Yugi and heard what had happened to him at school. He brought Yugi his present, a bunch of Duel Monster booster packs, and a drawing of Yugi that Mokuba had drawn.

The next morning, Yugi told the Kaibas that he had decided to leave. Leave Domino, leave his yami, leave his ex-friends, and leave everything. Kaiba gave him a credit card, even though Yugi tried to refuse, and Mokuba helped Yugi get everything he'd need from his house. Then Yugi and the Kaiba brothers left to the airport and Yugi got on a plane, and left.
