Shadows of A Samurai
Disclaimer- I do not Own Yu-gi-Oh...
What would happen when Yu-gi-Oh was a trained ninja instead of a card game master?
Joey: ha! Yugi as a ninja? He's too short!
Yugi: Are you saying I'm short!
Tristan: Nah..I think he'd get beaten up.
Yugi: So you think I'm weak?
Tea: You're all wrong..Yugi is a kind and gentle human being.
Yami Yugi: You mean me?...(punches Tristan and Joey)
Tea: ...crickets chirp
Yami Yugi: I didn't think so.
Little tidbit for an opening. I asked myself that question and I got a great story idea for the answer. There may be references to Ninja Turtles and Shaman King in future chapters. I'm not so certain..but let's try this out..
Lurking in the Shadows
There are a lot of things that go bump in the night. As you might think, the boogey man would come and get you when you were little...there are more terrible things that can go on. It was a damp and rainy night of the full moon, and in a dark alleyway an assault was about to begin. A light brunette woman was walking home from graveyard shift from her office, and took a short cut through the alley. The winds started to pick up and a piece of newspaper tossed across the ground startling the woman.
She giggled softly to herself as she noticed the newspaper which was caught against a light pole and traveled onward into the dark alley. Suddenly there was another noise, a crash of glass on the pavement as a bottle fell upon the street. The woman shrieked, as other noises began to frighten her..she inhaled quickly and began to whistle, trying to keep her thoughts bared and her fears in order. She stopped. Footsteps. She backed away slowly as her heart began to beat rapidly. She turned towards the alleyway and was about to break for a run when she bumped into a mountain of a man with glaring eyes and a navy winter ski hat on.
"Well hello there ma'am..." the man rasped and put his arms around her, slinking his hand under the straps of her purse and tried to pull it from her. "Let me walk you home.."
"Get away from me!" the frightened woman screamed as she tried to break free, but the man pinned her down so she couldn't escape. "Let go of me!"
"You're purse looks a little heavy." the man cooly remarked as he began to tug at the straps. "Let me hold it for you!"
"Help! Police!" the woman screamed, but it the night air was dead and still as the night could be. "Someone..please help!"
"You cannot run, little miss." the mugger seemed to answer. "No one's here to save you now."
"Drop her!" a deep voice called out from above them.
"What!" the mugger exclaimed as he looked up at a building where a silhouette of a tall boy stood boring down on him. He was dressed clad in black, his amethyst eyes grew cold as he looked down with a toneless expression on his face. The boy was carrying a long sword in a sheath slung over his shoulder, and had a black tattoo along his arm. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The boy did not reply, but with one mighty jump he plummeted off the roof and landed square on his feet next to the shocked lady. The boy grunted as he lifted a leg and kicked the mugger right in the stomach. The mugger's eyes widened as he was knocked to the ground, staring as the boy slowly pulled out the silver sword from his sheath and pointed it right on the mugger's chin.
"Beat it...tough guy." the boy murmured, his voice was cold and hollow. The mugger cried as he scrambled onto his feet and started to run away. A clap of thunder signaled that the storm was about to get worse as rain started to pour down. The woman covered her head as the rain began to soak her hair and took her purse that the mugger left lying on the ground. She turned to the boy.
"How shall I ever thank you?" the woman asked kindly. The boy didn't respond as police sirens began to sound through the air. "At least tell me your name..."
"Dragon.." the boy muttered finally as he went back into the shadows when police arrived on the scene. The woman suddenly was caught in a blur when the police force escorted her to the station and told her that one of the neighbors found out about the mugging and put him in custody. The woman didn't pay any attention to the cop, only wondered who the boy who saved her was. With one last glimpse back in the alley where the boy had disappeared in..the only thing the woman could see was the shadow.
