A/N: I know for a fact, that Pegasus adopted four people in the manga, but honestly the other two don't have enough personality in my opinion.


He bought the apartment and the Game shop her grandfather used to own and now there were people working there, under Industrial Illusions.

"You can always visit it, once we're in Japan," he told her, but she only shook her head.

"I don't think I will," then she looked at the ground, her amethyst eyes unfocused,"ever."

The last part was whispered. Pegasus still heard her.

Then he smiled a bit, "Give it some time, Yugi."

And with that he showed her the room in which she would rest from now on. Her room.

It was big - bigger than she expected - and it looked clean and yet kind of old. Something she liked very much. There were some shelves full of books and games, a television with some consoles, a desk, a comfortable looking bed, a big closet filled with clothes and a bathroom.

And the walls were painted in the colors of the night sky. A dark blue, mixed with black and filled with thousands of stars. It calmed her down.

Pegasus noticed.

"I let them know to decorate the room, some days beforehand."

In the last remaining days of his stay in Japan, she had lived in a guest room, of one of his mansions.

"In most of them, especially the one in Domino, will a be a room made, only for you. In case if you feel like visiting once you're older."

She didn't know how he understood what she wanted and what not.

He actually read her thoughts. He knew he shouldn't, but it was only for the first days. After that he would get used to guessing what she wanted.

"Thank you," she whispered, as she looked at him. He smiled.

Somehow he felt at ease that day.

"If you need something, call a butler and tell him."

He showed her the buttons she would need to click and then left her alone, ready to read through the documents regarding her and sign them. He would need to get her a private tutor, make sure she was citizen of the place they currently lived in and biy her some more games and books, after finishing the documents for the adoption.


Yugi clutched her bag, as she looked around the room. It had everything she needed, and she was unsure for what she could ask more at that point.

There was nothing.

With quiet steps, she made it to her bed and opened her bag. She bought some clothes, which was useless, after she looked into the closet.

He already bought her a lot and everything was to her liking, simple and comfortable. Well, with some expectations, but she was sure the dresses were meant for something more than everyday uses.

She returned to her bag, after adding the clothes she brought with her to the ones in the closet. In her bag were various books and games, which laid to the ones in the shelves. After that only one thing was in the bag.

Something important.

It was a golden box, containing pieces of a puzzle in it. Her grandfather gave her the puzzle with the challenge that she couldn't solve it.

She decided she would, as a goodbye. So she opened the box and took the pieces of it, trying to see which fit together. It was her first time working on it.

She spent the whole time on it, until a butler showed up, telling her that it was time for the dinner.

The food tasted nice for the first time in days.


Her tutor was a young man with sharp and yet warm brown eyes. She liked him, since he explained everything in a way she understood.

"That's my job," he would always say, "to make sure you understand."

And he did.

Mathematics, languages, history, technology, geography, chemistry, physics and so on. He would teach her what she needed in real life and what she needed to run a company.

It was clear her brothers - who she still had to meet - would earn Industrial Illusions, but she probably would get her share in something. And even then, they needed to prepare her for everything.

She loved studying. There were some annoying things to learn, but she liked the most.

That's what she told Pegasus, who blinked in surprise at her. Then he chuckled.

"One of my sons, Tenma Yako, wouldn't be as happy with studying."

She blinked, wondering what for a person he was.

"Don't worry, you'll meet them soon."

She nodded. Maybe she should ask him if he had time to play a game with her? Then again he probably hadn't and she wouldn't want to be a bot-

"Want to play a game?"

Surprised, she looked at him, only to see a genuine smile. Eagerly nodding, she grinned, as she grabbed her dueling deck.

"Duel Monsters, it is then."

He didn't use the eye, but he still won. Though Yugi wasn't an easy opponent.

"Thank you for the duel, Crawford-san."

He blinked and then softly shook his head, "It's father to you, Yugi. After all Crawford is now your name as well."


He didn't remember when "Pegasus-san" changed to "Daddy" and "Yugi" to "Yu-chan", but weeks passed by and they were long used to it.

And he had more concerning things to think about. Like the nightmares that seemed to plague his daughter a lot. She told him it would always begin with a grinning shadow and end with a blue cap and crimson eyes.

Professional help didn't bring anything, and as days passed and Yugi almost feared to sleep, he decided to look into her mind.

He didn't expect flashing images of shadows surrounding her mind and... Protecting her.
