A SHADOW GAME
Summary: This history it's founded in the first series of YugiOh. Yugi it's a shy kid that solved the legendary millennium puzzle, and now had another personality he is not aware off. Anzu developed a crush on this new character and he back started to feel strangely different around that certain girl… What would happen with all this??
CHAPTER 1:
The morning was great; the soft and calm breeze blowing made the trees move lightly. The sky was bright blue and a warm sun welcomed the day with his shining rays. In the streets close to Domino High, a young boy was running desperately to get in time for his classes.
-Shit! I woke up late! –the young boy named Yugi thought while zigzagging the passer-byes on the streets.
He had a strange spiky tri-colored hair: black, red and yellow bangs that framed his face. His skin was light and he had big round violet eyes. He was wearing the school uniform consisted of blue pants, and blue jacket. He liked to wear a black undershirt and a thick collar around his neck. Also, he was wearing a strange pyramid-like pendant around his neck too which was making tiny noises with the chain to which it was grabbed by the hurry Yugi was in.
He glanced at his wristwatch and read the time.
'7:15'
-Oh! Man! –he accelerated his running and finally arrived to the school.
He went directly to his classroom and entered quickly, his breath agitated by the haulage. The teacher immediately stopped talking and stared at his sudden entrance.
-Mr. Muto, why are you late? –she asked taking the pencil and erasing the cross on his name in the attendance sheet.
-Sorry, Mss. Craisted, I got up late. It won't happen again. I promise –he said staring at the floor and walking towards his assigned desk.
-I hope so –was all the teacher said and continue with the class.
After forty five minutes of boring history class, the teacher decided to let the kids have rest in the fifteen minutes that were left.
Yugi remained in his seat staring and admiring his new now complete treasure. It strangely gave him a light shine. Yugi was startled by that but decided to let it slide.
-Hi Yug! –exclaimed a cheerfully girl walking towards him.
He raised his eyes and met bright blue ones. He blushed a little. She was Anzu, his childhood friend, her hair was short dark brown cut in capes, she had light skin, as him, and was wearing the school uniform consisted of a mini blue skirt, and a stretch pink long sleeve blouse that showed her curves. On her neck was a blue bun and white socks that reached her knees combined with black shoes. She took a sit next to him.
-Oh! Hi Anzu! How are you? –he said smiling widely at her.
-I'm good. And you? Why you came late today? What was the real reason? –she asked narrowing her eyes as if suspecting something. Yugi just smiled.
-JeJe, I went to sleep very late yesterday because I wanted to finish it.
-Finish it? –she asked raising an eyebrow.
-My treasure –he said stretching out his hand with the golden object on it.
-Wow! Yugi, you solve it. I'm very impressed! –she said holding and detailing it.
-Yeah! I thought I never would be able to finish it, but yesterday, it seemed so easy to solve, and here it is. That's the reason I came late today.
-And, what was your wish? –she asked returning the puzzle to him.
-I can't tell you –he smiled again.
-Hi Yug! –a boy's voice said
Both of them turned around and saw two boys walking towards them. One had blonde hair and light brown eyes, the other one had pointy black and brown hair and his eyes were dark brown. Both of them wearing the usually school uniform.
-Hi guys! How are you? –Yugi said
-Very good –said the blonde one named Joey
-Hi again Anzu –said Tristan
-Hi –answered Anzu smiling
-Hey, Yugi, you solve it. Congratulations!–exclaimed Joey taking note of the pendant hanging around his neck
-Yes, yesterday. –he said turning to look at his treasure.
-Do you guys know the ultimate news? –asked Tristan changing the subject
-What happened? –asked Anzu predicting the usually stupid rumors of them both.
-Do you know Ushio Yugi? The one who was bothering you? –Joey asked and Yugi nodded
-Well, today was found in a pile of rubbish floundering all over it. –said Joey with a displeasure gesture.
-Yes, and he was screaming 'money, money, all is mine' and other nonsense like that –complemented Tristan moving in a negative way his head –Wackos…
-What do you guys think that happened to him? –asked Anzu thinking about the matter.
-I don't have the slightest idea, but some students who saw him said that also he was saying something of a 'shadow game'- Joey said frowning –What the hell is that, nobody knows!
Yugi was all the time listening to the conversation and staring at his millennium puzzle rarely.
-My grandpa said that the one who solve it will gain the knowledge of the 'shadow games'… maybe this puzzle… Nah, I solve it in my house and nothing happened… -he stopped, re-thinking again –well, I'm not sure; I don't remember anything had happened… -Yugi was deep in thought.
Suddenly, a hand in front of his face made him snap out of his trance.
-Wha—What?
-I SAID that we should go to eat something, Mr. Fujimore didn't come today. What is happening in that little brain of yours? –Joey asked taking Yugi in a head-lock and messing his hair.
-Joey, stop it, it's nothing. Come on, I'm a little hungry too, I don't reached to take breakfast well –Yugi said standing up and taking his bag.
-Ok, then, let's go, to eat!! –said in unison Joey and Tristan hugging each other while they walked. Yugi and Anzu just let out a big sigh.
-These two will never change… -exclaimed Anzu passing her hand through her hair. Yugi just smiled.
In their way towards the cafeteria, they saw an amount of students pressing each other to see something. Curiosity got the better of Joey and Tristan, so, they went to see what was happening.
In the center of the crowd was a man controlling snakes (Boa's: a non venomous serpent) and was boasting of having mental powers that allowed him to read the future, levitate objects and control animals.
-Yeah, right –thought Anzu not much interested –Come on Yugi –she said walking again.
Nonetheless, the man noted Anzu through the crowd of students and rapidly stood up and caught her.
-Oh, Anzu! I have a prediction for you. Do you want to hear it? –he said with his hands on his forehead as if trying to concentrate.
-Hey! How the hell do you know my name? –she asked a little bewildered.
-I read your mind, Anzu. I know a lot of things about you –he said getting what he wanted: her attention.
-Yeah, right –she said with sarcasm and rolling her eyes.
-Do you want me to tell you what do you do almost all nights? –he asked obtaining a nervous look by Anzu.
-Impossible he knew. I never said that to anyone –she thought having in mind what she do almost all nights. She remained in silence.
-You go almost all nights to the cemetery and visit your parent's tomb, am I correct? –he said to Anzu who widened her eyes with a confused look
-But…How…You –tried to say but the words were stuck in her throat.
-Take this, if I was you, I had put it attention to it –he said extending his hand with a piece of paper on it.
She just looked at his hand without knowing what to do.
-Don't bother her, you freak! –Exclaimed Yugi throwing away the paper on his hand –she doesn't believe your so called 'mental powers', you easily could have find out that information, it doesn't mean anything! –he yelled standing between her and that man.
-Yugi… -she whispered and turned to look at the 'freak'
-Little scum! I'm Steve the Great and also have a prediction for you too; watch out because countless letters will fall from above and will crash you! –Steve exclaimed signaling him with his finger and with a scary expression on his face. Then, he turned to walk away, the crowd of students following him.
-Man, that was very brave of you –said Joey finally arriving because the crowd didn't let him came closer.
-But I received bad news instead –he said looking down
-Don't worry, it must be nothing –said Joey putting a hand on his back.
Anzu was in silence, she didn't know now what to think. Tristan arrived and picked up the note that was on the floor.
-Is it true Anzu? What he said? –asked Joey to his best friend
-Yes, -she sighed- it was my secret now no so secret –she said sadly
-Don't worry; you know we always are here for you, to support you –said Yugi reassuring her.
-Thanks guys! You are the best –said Anzu cheering up a little.
-Anzu, do you want to read it? –asked Tristan handing her the folded paper. She took it and read it aloud.
-"In the classroom B6 today, your future will be tell"-she finished closing her eyes.
-You're not going, are you? –asked a concerned Yugi, he still didn't trust on that man
-Yeah, Anzu, are you thinking on going? –asked Joey concerned too
-It's not safe, we don't know anything about that man –said Tristan
-I… have to think –she said walking away
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The classes finished. Yugi packed his bag and approached Anzu silently. She was packing hurriedly.
-So, do you want me to walk with you? –said Yugi with a big smile
-No, Yugi, maybe tomorrow. I had decided to go check out that classroom –she said grabbing her bag
-But…Anzu- he was cut off
-I know Yugi. –She said –but I want to make sure he is an impostor. It just that. Please don't worry, I'll be fine –she said walking away and saying good-bye with her hand –see you tomorrow, Yugi –Anzu disappeared through the hall.
-Oh, well… -Yugi sighed and then noticed a big book on the floor.
-Why are you here? - He murmured while taking it –I should put this were it belongs –he said to himself running towards the library.
A shadowy figure looked at a running Yugi by the hall. A smirk could be spotted on his face.
Yugi arrived to the library and searched for the place where the book was supposed to be. Finally, he found it.
-Yes, here it is –Yugi said putting the book on the shelf. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise.
-What… -he didn't have time to react when the noise grew louder and louder.
In no time, all the bookcases fell off causing a domino-effect in the entire library. A big cloud of dust covered all the room and the figure of Yugi could be seen among all the fallen bookcases and books around.
The millennium puzzle shined brightly and he opened his eyes. Now, they were sharp and dark red that showed a mixture of expressions. He was a little taller that normally and in his hair appeared golden bangs above his black and red spiky hair, besides of the normally bangs that framed his face. All in Yugi changed: his form of stand, walk and talk. Now, he had a more strong and confident voice.
He stood there a minute until the dust dissipated.
-Countless letters…-he murmured in his baritone voice. He turned around and saw a strange figure running away.
-Hmmm –he narrowed his eyes and then almost immediately widened them –Anzu! –he exclaimed and took off running towards the B6 classroom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anzu was leaned in the teacher's desk looking outside the window. The sky was getting darker. She sighed.
-I feel like a stupid, waiting who knows what. I better go, it's getting late… -she thought and was going to leave the classroom when the door suddenly opened and she saw him.
-You? –she exclaimed taking a step back
-Oh, Anzu, you came, I was waiting for you, love –Steve said approaching her. She took a step back.
-Love? –she asked bewildered
-Anzu, I'm in love with you, you are my idol, my breath, my life… I want you –he said getting near her and closing her way out.
-Let me go out of here, damn perverted! –she said and took off running towards the door but he caught her before she arrived it.
-Let me go!! Release me now! –she yelled and kicked.
-Anzu, I have been searching all about you, I'm obsess with your beauty, all nights I go to the cemetery just to see you there, you are so beautiful… -he tried to kiss her but she didn't let him.
-Damn, release me now!- she yelled again trying to smack him but Steve got out of his pocket a handkerchief with some substance in it and put it on her nose.
Anzu kicked all she could but then she started to feel sleepy, suddenly, the door of the classroom opened again and she listened a voice that she never could forget.
-I think it's time to play a game –the voice said from the door.
The man let go of Anzu who fall on the floor half sleepy half conscious. She raised her eyes and saw a blurry form of a man leaned in the doorframe with his hands around his chest. Then she couldn't see anything more.
-Yugi? You look different, I think I had got rid of you –he exclaimed smirking. Yami just smirked to his ignorance of what it would happen next.
-I want to play a game with you, a shadow game –he said walking towards a table which had a kind of container on it covered by a blanket that suddenly appeared of nowhere.
Yami took off the blanket and was revealed a big glass container, and inside of it were seven cobras.
-Where the hell that came from? –exclaimed Steve looking at the container.
-As you know, the cobras are a very venomous snake, so this game will decide the life of his players –Yami said and then showed him some coins on his hand. The man was shocked.
-Are you nuts, you're not the little scum I see early, who the fuck are you?
-It's that so?-Yami continued without paying him attention -Listen to the rules. Every player will have turns to try and take out the coins out of the container –he said and threw the coins inside the tangle of snakes. The coins were easily visible. – The winner is the player who takes out more coins. Also, if a snake bites you, you lose and a penalty game will start. Want to go first? –he asked smirking.
Steve just looked at him and then at the container. It had a very narrow opening above to barely introduce a hand and the snakes were venomous. A cold sweat traveled through his face.
-Are you scared? –Yami asked amused –and I thought you could control snakes, it was a lie? If you control them, you have an advantage against me, isn't good that? –he said raising an eyebrow.
-I control them, of course that I do –Steve yelled a little agitated –but I want you to go first –he finished staring maliciously at him
-If he goes first, it's no way the snakes don't bite him and he will be poisoned before I try, JeJe
-If that is what you wish, then I will go first –he said –Game start.
The serpents were turning up one to another. Yami study the possibility of what coin could be more accessible considering the narrow opening. He saw it. The coin which was above one of the snake's bodies. Its head didn't was there to be seen, so he decided for that coin. He had to avoid the snake's heads.
-Well, here I go –he said and approached the container. He put his hand inside the narrow opening very slowly. He reached the coin and took it but he didn't count on one serpent's head that arise by the corner. He stayed still staring at the serpent's action.
The serpent distracted a millisecond and he took advantage of that taking out his hand as fast as he could, the snake saw the sudden movement and aimed for his hand. In the hurry, he tripped with the sides of the narrow opening and made himself a wound on the back of his hand. Little drops of blood flowed through the open injury. He didn't let Steve saw his pain expression and instead he showed him the coin with a smirk.
-Your turn –he said crossing his arms around his chest.
Steve hesitated but then decided it. He put his hand inside and took the coin on the corner, but he didn't saw that at the side of it was the head of two serpents which immediately reared up and spread the skin behind its head to form a hood in an attack position.
-Uh oh –exclaimed Yami loudly enough for him to hear.
-Ahh? –exclaimed the man when the two snakes aimed for his hand and bite him injecting a great amount of venom. The man screamed his life off by the pain.
-Sorry, but this is how this game is, now penalty game had been started –Yami said while on his forehead appeared the eye that all see.
-Judgement! –he yelled and Steve saw he was been eating complete by a huge snake.
-Ahhhhhhhh! –he screamed and then fell unconscious.
-That happens, when someone mess out with my friends –Yami murmured staring at his limp body, then turned around towards where Anzu was laying.
-Anzu… -he whispered caressing her cheek and removing a lock of hair that was on her face
She felt a hand caressing her face and then been loading by strong arms. She wanted to see who had saved her, and she opened a little her eyes. She could only see his shadow on the wall but she couldn't make out who he was. She then looked to the side and noted his injured hand, it was bleeding.
-He is hurt! I have to help him –she thought and wanted to move but she felt really sleepy. –I can't, I feel weak…
-Shhh… I will protect you –she heard him whisper and smiled at the sound of his voice, then she let herself fall into unconsciousness
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day she passed to pick up Yugi for the school, in the way she found her friends.
-Hey, guys, come on, we are going late –she said towards them
-Yeah, let's go! –said a cheerfully Yugi running and then Anzu noted the back of his hand
-Uh? –She stopped in mid-pace by the discovering –Yugi had the same wound the one who save me… It could possible be Yugi? –she thought looking again at him.
-Yugi, how did you do that injury? –she approached him and smiled innocently signaling his hand.
-Uh, this –Yugi said looking at the wound–well, I don't know, I just have it this morning; it's not big deal anyway. JeJe –he exclaimed. She negated with her head.
-Nah that man sounded more mature, and confident, not at all Yugi… Perhaps, it's other face of Yugi… one that he is not aware off?? –she thought remembering the warm arms that carried her last night.
-Anzu! Come on! –exclaimed Yugi
-Yeah! Coming –she yelled back –I will find out if Yugi is the one who saved me, mark my words… -she though while running to catch her friends.
