Some Wishes Do Come True
Ryou P.O.V.
It was a dark autumn day in Domino city. Then again it is always dark to me. I was sitting on an old swing in the park. It was cold out today though I took no notice to it. I could feel the blood oozing out of my arm. Once again a bully had caught me off-guard and had beaten the crap out of me. Oh well.
At least it was better then getting beat up by Bakura. At the thought I shivered though it was not from the cold I can tell you that. I sighed. "I guess I better clean this wound up huh," I said to no one in particular.
"Well I guess go to the house now," I said. That's right...house, not home, house. I have no home. My home was when my mother and little sister were alive. My home was the place where I was happy.
The house I live at for the moment is just a place to sleep I guess. I started to got to that horrid place where I knew Bakura would not be there. Ever since Bakura got his own body, he had ran off with Marik to the desert land of Egypt. Good riddens.
I felt tears start to sting my eyes. Even though Bakura always abused me and made me feel like crap I still loved him. I guess this is my punishment for falling in love with the king of thieves. I sighed sadly as I stood outside my house.
I took out my key and opened the door. I suddenly heard the phone ring. I closed the door and picked up the phone. It was Yugi Mouto, one of the only true friends I had in this wretched horror story known as my life.
"Moshi moshi," I heard Yugi say.
"Konnichi wa Yugi, what's new?" I answered.
"Well Grandpa just got a new game so you wanna try it out with me," Yugi asked. "Jou and the others are all too busy and Yami is who knows where, so you're the only one I mostly thought to ask," Yugi explained and I could hear a tint of loneliness from the boy.
"Alright I'll go," I said, "Don't expect me to go easy though," I teased.
"Thank you Ryou, see you in a few minutes kay," Yugi said cheerfully on the other line.
"Okay I'll be right over in about at least 30 minutes." I said looking at my wound which was still bleeding.
"Okay Ryou bye," said Yugi. Then after a moment the phone went dead. I quickly went into the bathroom and cleaned up my wound. "Shit, that hurts," I said as I cleaned my wound.
After I had cleaned it I wrapped it in clean white bandages. I then walked out the door, locking it along the way. Why is it that I don't just kill myself and get over this pain and misery?
I shook my head at answered the question that I ask almost everyday. Its because I somehow have some dumb wish that Bakura will come back and actually love me. I sighed and began walking away.
I looked around me, watching as people passed me by. But all I could see was shadows. Shadows of their emotions like happiness or sadness. Those emotions I knew would soon fade from them like they had me.
I couldn't remember the last time I was truly happy. When I could smile and actually mean it. When I was actually care free and brave. Sometimes I wonder if the those time were actually a dream.
Maybe I have already died because I was sure I had already died inside. When was the last time I actually walked while having my head held up high. Was it really so long ago.
Soon after walking for what seemed eternity I had made it in front of kame game shop. I looked up at the shop and saw Yugi run out of the store.
"Ryou I missed you, I haven't seen you since...Friday," Yugi said cheerfully as he hugged me. I chuckled. Yugi was so lucky. He had everything he could ever want. Friends, love, a yami who actually cared about him, and what do I have?
Sure I have friends but they don't care about me like they do Yugi. I never had those other things that Yugi had. I couldn't help but envy the boy who stared up at me with those innocent amethyst eyes.
"Come on Ryou, lets go play the game now," said Yugi as his eyes started to sparkle with excitement. I nodded towards him and we walked inside the game shop, not knowing what could possibly happen next.
As we walked inside I couldn't help but feel something was out of place. Soon we were in Yugi's room. In the center of the room was a box which was probably the game Yugi had been talking about. Yugi and I then sat on either side of the box.
"So what is this game called," I asked curiously.
"Egyptian wish," Yugi said. I blinked. I don't think I have heard of anything called Egyptian wish. Yugi opened the box and took out the cards and then the rest of the set. This seemed to be a very strange game.
"So how do we play," I asked, somewhat intrigued. Yugi put what looked like a golden tomb in the middle of us. Then set up the rest of the game.
"To tell you the truth I am not exactly sure," said Yugi, his face blushing a shade of red. I blinked owlishly at him and then chuckled. I'm sure we will figure it out.
And figure it out we did. It turns out the game was pretty complicated. The cards were like duel monsters. We had to battle with monsters and try to get to the tomb before the other player. Kind of like monopoly. Yet there was traps set all over the game.
So far I was winning which was quite surprising. Soon both Yugi and I were about two steps away from the tomb. Whoever took the next two steps were able to get to the tomb. It was now my turn. I had to draw a card from the deck.
I looked at the card curiously and blinked. The card was called golden steps. This card let all players take two steps only if the player discards 3 cards. 'So basically if I played this card then both Yugi and I win.' I thought. I smiled softly and put down the card on the game board.
"I play golden steps!" I said. Then Yugi and I discarded 3 cards and made both our game figures walk up the two steps to the tomb.
"Yugi, what do we do now?" I asked. Yugi was looking at the instructions.
"It says here that since we both won we must both draw a card from the wish deck," Yugi said. The wish deck was inside the tomb if I remembered correctly. "Then it says that when you draw a wish card to make a wish." said Yugi. I blinked again. This was definitely a strange game with some strange rules, I thought.
I then opened the tomb to find the wish deck. I then drew a card. Yugi drew one after I did. I then looked at the card I had. I heard Yugi gasp. I took a quick look at Yugi's card. Our cards were exactly the same. They were blank, not a thing on them.
"What does this mean?" Yugi asked in awe. From past experiences with blank cards I knew there was something special about it.
"I think this card is blank because we haven't told it our wishes yet," I said. Yugi just nodded.
"Well then lets make our wish okay," Yugi said. I nodded back at him. I then thought about what to wish for. It seemed stupid to tell a card my wish but oh well, desperate times call for desperate measures I gues.
"I wish I could find love and happiness," I said to the card.
"I wish I could learn more about Yami," I heard Yugi wish. I blinked. How well did he need to know Yami? Oh well.
Then suddenly something happened. The cards were glowing a bright white and it was now engulfing the whole room.
"W-WHATS GOING ON?" Yugi yelled. I couldn't answer. All I could do was squeeze my eyes shut from the blinding light. My ears felt like they were on fire because there was this loud humming sound in my mind. Then all went black.
