This thing didn't have a title. Yugi told himself in his head as he stared down at the book in his hand. He traced the title with his finger, it was engraved into the cover, as if it was always there. It could've had dust in it and I knocked it all out. Yugi tried to tell himself, even though he knew that was impossible. He shook his head as if trying to rid himself of the image of the title. It was still there. Yugi looked around in fear suddenly of being alone in the room. He stared down at the book in fear and he began to open it with shaky hands.
"Hello Yugi." A deep voice called, Yugi jumped and let out a yell as he turned toward the voice and slammed the book closed, it was his teacher, Maximillion with a container in his hand. He sighed in relief as his teacher stared at him in both amusement and confusion.
"Hello, Mr. Pegasus." He said softly as he smiled at the teacher.
"I'm sorry, did I startle you?" Pegasus questioned him as he set the container on his desk. Yugi assumed it was his lunch.
"Only slightly, it's eerie being alone in a classroom." He explained to him, Pegasus let out a small chuckle.
"Slightly? I've never heard like you yell like that before." He told him, Yugi blushed slightly in embarrassment.
"O-Okay, you scared my pants off, Mr. Pegasus." Yugi said still blushing. Pegasus looked toward the door as he grabbed a clipboard off his desk.
"Then, I would recommend that you put them back on Yugi, Class will start soon." Pegasus smiled at him and marked something off on his clipboard.
"Oh haha..." Yugi groaned as he looked toward the door to see students pour into the classroom, all talking their way in. He usually read a book at this time, but every time he stared at the book the book stared back and it scared him to no end. He looked down at the book trying to win this staring contest, but kept losing his guard and breaking away from the stare at it. Why did this book scare him? It was just a book! He bit his lip and finally picked it up and opened it in one swoop. As soon as he began to read one word, someone slammed their arm around his shoulder, making him yell once more.
"Well that's new." A voice told him, Yugi glared at the person who had did the action. His best friend Joey, he was blonde with honey colored eyes.
"What's new?" Yugi asked with a slight bitterness in his voice. Joey smiled, not letting him go.
"You yelled, I've never heard you yell!" He told him tightening his grip as Yugi struggled.
"Yeah, Yeah, let me go!" Yugi yelled as he struggled more, his eyes widened as he saw a book fly from across the room and smacked Joey's head. He burst out laughing as Joey let go of him immediately and began to rub his head. Yugi turned around to try to see the person who threw the book, no one was there. He narrowed his eyes in confusion, what was that about?
"Who hit me!" Joey yelled out looking around the room, he didn't see anyone who would've thrown it at him.
"Who wouldn't hit you..." A high pitched voice told him, Yugi smiled at the person who spoke.
"Hey Anzu." He greeted her, she smiled at him.
"Hello Yugi." Anzu greeted back, Joey pouted at her. She put her hands on her hips. "Who're you pouting at?"
"You're mean! You greet him but not me!" He told her still rubbing his head. She rolled her eyes.
"I did greet you." She told him.
"You said something to me, but you didn't greet!" he explained to her.
"There's a difference?" She rose an amused eyebrow as she directed her attention back to Yugi. "So how was your trip to the Library? Was there any good books?"
"Hey! Don't change the subject!"
"It was alright, and no I didn't find any good books." Yugi told her, hoping she wouldn't notice the book on his desk. She did.
"What about that book?" She pointed at it, Yugi looked down at it and shrugged.
"It's just a book I found on the ground..." Yugi told her, it wasn't a lie! He did find it on the floor...he just didn't tell her that he was chasing a shadow and then it dropped on the floor.
"That so?" She grabbed the book, Yugi didn't protest, he didn't mind it being off his desk. "OoOoO, Unnoticed? Sounds creepy!" She opened it to the first page. Suddenly another book flew from across the room and smacked it out of her hands. She screamed as she grabbed her hand with her other one.
"Anzu!" Yugi yelled slightly as he got up quickly and went to her side. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, it just scared me, that's all." She said as she looked on the floor. There was two literature books and Unnoticed on the floor. "How can someone throw a book like that, those things are heavy!"
"Haha it wasn't just me!" Joey joked as he smiled at Anzu, she glared at him. Yugi bent over and picked up all three books.
"I would appreciate it if we did not have a book fight in my classroom, thank you." Pegasus spoke out looking up from his clipboard for a moment before looking back down.
"I'll put these back Mr. Pegaus." Yugi told him as he held all three books in his arms, he didn't want to leave Unnoticed alone for some reason. He walked away from his two friends to the bookshelf on the other side of the room, he sat Unnoticed down for a moment as he put the two literature books back on the shelf. He looked down at Unnoticed as he picked it up and jumped slightly as he saw a small white folded up note was placed under it.
"What the hell..." Yugi spoke as he grabbed the note, it wasn't there before, was it? Yugi opened the note and read it carefully
That book does not belong to you, I would recommend you leave it in class today and that you do not read it, if you do not accept my recommendations. I will hurt your friends and possibly you.
- Darkness.
Yugi's eyes widened as he read the note over and over again. Who the hell was Darkness? He thought of the shadow that had dropped the book. Was this book that important to it? He looked behind himself just to see the regular class settling down for the teacher. Was he in this classroom? He shook his head, this was crazy. There was absolutely no possible way someone could feel this strongly about a book. Yugi walked back over to his desk, the note and book in hand. Pegasus nodded at him in thanks for putting up the two other books as Yugi sat down.
"Okay, now I believe yesterday we went over Shakespeare and-" Yugi heard Pegasus's voice and allowed it exit his mind as he thought about the book and note. Why wouldn't the person not want him to read it? He looked down at the book, it wouldn't be that big of a deal if he read it during class, he always did anyway. The book still scared him, it scared him even more now because of the note. He just couldn't resist the temptation to read it. He opened the book finally this time and began to read.
Chapter 1
Our meeting was accidental. However it had been the most happy experience in my elementary school life in a sense. I met an angel, I thought this over and over since the accident took place. I was just walking to the restroom during lunch, it wasn't a crime, I had a pass so the teachers couldn't nag at me about it if they caught me wandering. As I finished my little trip to the restroom, I began to walk back obviously, but as I did, a sudden force knocked me down, this force also let out a high pitched yell as we both tumbled to the floor. The force and I both groaned as we fell, I felt a sudden weight on my body. It was of course the thing that had knocked me down, which I assumed to be another student, I'm pretty sure no aliens went to the school. I looked at the student, he was an angel! I swear it was, well in my sense he looked like one. His eyes were large with a beautiful amethyst color to them, his hair reminded me vaguely of someone I knew, obviously being myself. However instead of my color aligning his hair, he had that lovely color of his eyes mixed with it, along with sharp yellow bangs, they lined his face beautifully! He could've been mistaken for my brother, I thought as I stared at this amazing person. He looked down at me and blushed as he began to utter out apologies in a soft voice that no one could mad at. But could only listen to and hope they don't fall asleep to that sweet sound. He smiled as he got up, his face still complimented by the slight red color. The color fitted his face greatly, he reached a hand out to me in a gesture of wanting to help me get up. I gladly but hesitantly took it. As he helped me up, I noticed that I was taller then him. Not by much of course since I wasn't exactly the tallest boy in the school. I stared down at him in awe, he was just so beautiful! I couldn't express it more in these words. He looked up at me, his face still containing a sweet smile. He asked if I was okay, I responded that I was. He was light, there was no possible way he could've hurt me by the fall. He waved at me as he said goodbye and left me to go somewhere. He intrigued me greatly. I didn't know why though, he was beautiful so I thought I might just be developing feelings of admiration for him. Nothing that big to go on, I thought as I let my mind be swarmed of pictures of him, just him smiling, nothing vulgar or out of character. Just his face, smiling, and just saying hello. I went back to lunch smiling and sat down alone at a fairly small table. Elementary school was a complete bore to me but it fascinated me to just look around and watch people talk and converse with others. No one ever noticed me or if they did no one would say anything, I was practically invisible to all but the teachers and anyone who looked at me directly. I watched the entrance for a good twenty minutes, I didn't know why I was staring at it though. Finally however I saw the angel who I had encountered in the hallway enter the lunchroom, a teacher greeted him and took his pass. I watched him walk all the way back to his seat, I just couldn't take my eyes off him, why though? I thought. He was just a normal child like me in elementary school. But he caught my attention more then any other kid. In fact there was a fight that broke out on the other side of the cafeteria but I just couldn't break my gaze on the boy to look over which I usually would, fights were always a thing that amused me. As I watched him talk, eat, smile, and laugh I couldn't help but groan when I heard the teachers speak out my teacher's name to go back to class. It wasn't that bad however, I saw the boy get up as well and run toward the area to line up with two other kids. He was in my class? I thought smiling slightly. I couldn't believe my luck, how had I not noticed him before? I could keep my eyes on him at all times, but he would never notice me. I sighed as I thought I couldn't watch this child forever. I replied over and over in my head that he would bore me after a while and that I would stop watching him and maybe drift my eyes over to a girl or something. But then again I doubted in my mind that he would ever bore me. Our meeting was accidental, sure, and the only type of conversation we held was a simple hi, are you okay, and bye. He interested me so much though, I had to watch him. I just had to.
Yugi's eyes widened. What was this? He thought as he reread the chapter once more for what seemed like the 10th time. The description sounded so much like himself, however he couldn't go on that information, he hadn't said he had spiked hair, but the yellow bangs, the color amethyst aligning his hair, his eyes and the fact that he was short described him so well it was scary. He felt his face heat up at the compliments said in the book, stop blushing you moron, the person in the book could obviously talking about someone else! He doubted this in his mind. He thought this book would be a terrifying story. It wasn't, it seemed like one of the girl novels he hated greatly, but the fact that the person could be describing him made him want to read more. This book was obviously placed at the time when the narrator and the boy were in elementary school. Had he run into someone in elementary school? Of course he had! He had run into many people! To single one person out was hard to do seeing as he was now in high school.
"That will be all class, you may talk if you wish but don't talk to loud." Pegasus told the class as he walked to his desk and students began to put up their stuff, had 40 minutes gone by already? Yugi thought as he looked around, usually he'd be on chapter ten of a book by the time class was over. Then again he had been reading the same chapter over and over again. Yugi sighed as he reached over into his backpack and pulled out a small blue bookmark. He placed it in the book, marking his place so he could go back to it. Yugi looked at the classrooms clock, five minutes. He gathered his items and sighed as he stood up, he held the book tightly to his side. The book scared him more then ever before now, but he wasn't going to lose it. As he began to walk over to the door, an object stabbed him in the eye. Yugi hissed in pain as he closed it and looked down at the floor to see the object, it was a paper airplane. Yugi knelt down and picked the airplane up with his free hand. He heard footsteps come toward him.
"I didn't know you made paper airplanes Yugi." Anzu said as she walked over to his side, Yugi reopened his eye after the pain subsided. He shook his head.
"I didn't, this came and jabbed me in the eye." He explained as he held up the airplane. Joey laughed as he stood on the other side of Yugi.
"So we all were victim to some kind of pain." Joey smiled at his two friends, Anzu rolled her eyes and Yugi began to unravel the airplane back into one sheet of paper, he didn't know why he did it, something just told him to in his head.
"Aw why'd you do that?" Anzu pouted as he unraveled it completely.
"It deserved to die." Yugi joked as he looked at paper smiling. The smile faded instantly as he read the note.
Ding!
"Come on Yugi." Joey told him as him and Anzu exited the class, Yugi followed absent minded as he stared down at the note in fear.
Of course you'd read it and take it with you anyway, you were always one to be risky weren't you? I'll give you a choice. I'll put two names and you may circle who you wish to be targeted first, if you do not circle one, I'll close my eyes and pick one by myself, however your name will be included in my selection as well.
JOEY
ANZU
Choose wisely, Yugi.
- Darkness.
"Yugi, What's wrong?" Anzu asked him, Yugi gasped slightly and folded the note up before sliding it into his back pocket, Joey and Anzu looked at him as he smiled slightly.
"Nothing..."
