Chapter 1 A discovery of a little girl

It was going to be a great day. The rising hot sun was accompanied by a soft summer breeze. It was a perfect day to spend the day outside.

Yugi was heading towards the Domino Park, where his friends were waiting for him. He was taking big breaths, enjoying the beginning of the beautiful day. He had a feeling that something special was going to happen. He didn't know how right he was. He was pulled from his thoughts by a voice calling him.

"Hey! Yug'! Over Here!" A boy said who had golden hair which his bangs covered his honey coloured eyes. It was Joey, one of his best friends.

"Hey Guys! How's it going" Yugi said as he joined them.

"Great! You? Excluding the fact that you spend almost all your days inside." Tristan responded, who was another of his best friends.

"I'm fine" Yugi responded, then he looked around and noticed his best friend Tea wasn't there. "Hey! Where's Tea?"

"She's working! Don't you remember!?" Tristan replied.

"Oh….Uh….Well…To tell you the truth, I forgot. I was a bit occupied." Yugi admitted while scratching the back of his head.

"Let's say you were a bit too much occupied" Joey said.

"Can we go eat breakfast? I'm seriously starting to get hungry." Tristan said.

Yugi and Joey nodded in approval and they started walking towards the restaurant where Tea was working.

"So, Joey, how are things with Maï?" Yugi asked.

"Things are great, she's with the little one right now." Joey answered.

"And you, Tristan?" Yugi asked.

"It's going well!" Tristan answered.

"Yeah, especially when you're with my little sister!" Joey teased.

"Still protective of your little sister, are we!!" Tristan teased back.

Yugi smiled at their usual teasing. Then Joey turned towards Yugi with a sad smile.

"But, you don't seem to go to well since that time" He said.

"No, no, I swear that everything's ok" He assured his friends while shaking his hands from side to side in front of him in defence.

They stopped walking, when they heard an excited scream.

"I finally could buy the book that was on sell recently" A girl said getting out of the store, while holding the book close to her and jumping up and down.

"Yeah, especially when it was sold out in every book store. I still wonder how they still had some in stock" A second girl said.

"It doesn't matter. I will be able to go back to in his wonderful world" The first girl said dreamingly.

"It's true, Yugi Mutou often make that kind of novel and are sometimes sad, but always have a good ending" The second girl said while setting out again with the other girl.

"Yep"

After hearing the two girls talk, Joey and Tristan turned towards, not sure of Yugi's response from earlier. Yugi sighed.

"Yugi, you have to let it go." Tristan said.

"Ok, maybe it's not going to well. But still want to continue to think that she might still be out there, somewhere." Yugi said pensive and then all smiley.

"Ok, you won!" Joey said with a sigh. "But I want you to know that we're there for you"

Yugi smiled. "Ok, let's go eat now"

Joey and Tristan both nodded and started their way towards the restaurant. However, Yugi bumped into someone while turning a corner.

"Yugi, are you ok?" Joey asked as he helped stabilizing Yugi. (Yes, the person that bumped into him was running so he was a bit )

"Yeah, I'm fine" He responded.

After stabilizing himself, with the help of Joey, he looked down on the person who he bumped into. (Even though it's the person who bumped into him, Yugi doesn't want to put the other person at fault) It was a young girl who looked like she was about 8 or 9 years old. She had hair that went at the middle of the back which was black and had a lot of little gold and crimson streaks. Her bangs were a lot like Yugi's, she had one bang on each side of her face excepted for two and the third one in the middle of her forehead. This accelerated his heart bit.

"S-Sorry" He heard the little girl say with a trembling voice.

He slowly and quietly approached her.

"Are you ok?" He asked.

Her eyes were lowered so he couldn't see them and she tried to get up on her own. He went to help her but she put her arms in a defensive position.

"P-Please, d-don't hurt me" She shouted with fear.

Yugi was taken aback. He wouldn't hurt a child for the world, but she didn't know that. He bent a bit and offered his hand.

"I won't hurt you" He said.

She lowered her arms which revealed her eyes. Soft, innocent, dark chocolate coloured eyes which went down to gold. She looked at him, and then looked into his eyes. His Amethyst coloured eyes made her feel a little melancholic like she knew him. She didn't knew why but she felt like she could trust him and she took his hand.

"What's your name" Yugi asked her.

"Melissa" She said timidly.

Yugi's heart skipped a bit but tried to keep his calm.

"Where are your parents? They must be worried!"

Melissa didn't answer. A few seconds later, they heard someone scream out her name.

"Melissa, Where are you?!!"

After hearing that, she stiffened.

"Melissa, why don't you answer?" Yugi asked.

Melissa stayed quiet for a few seconds before said person came to join them.

"There you are, Melissa! I looked everywhere for you!" The person, Divan, said with a forced smile.

Melissa stiffened even more when she heard his voice behind her and his touch on her shoulder. This was quite visible.

"I was worried and scared that you might have been kidnapped." He turned towards Yugi and his friend. "Thank you for finding my daughter" He said and bowed. Yugi nodded his head.

However, Yugi wasn't convinced. He didn't find any sings of gratitude in the father's voice. Melissa felt powerless in this situation. She looked in Yugi's eyes. Her eyes showed fear, begging Yugi as to not let Divan take her back.

However, he couldn't do anything, Divan was her father. He had custody over her, but he knew this man but he didn't remember from where.

"Come on Melissa, let's go!" Divan said as he strongly took his daughter's wrist and took her back home.
