Chapter #2
Hello, Yugi." Atem greeted with a smile as he approached Yugi.
Yugi just looked Atem up and down once before looking back at Director Hammishe.
"When am I leaving?" He asked without any emotion in his tone as he reached up to tug Daniel's fingers from his collar, but Daniel kept a tight grip.
Director Hammishe frowned as she stared at Yugi. "You young, impatient, Boy." She growled. "Be grateful that you're even getting a father. Many kids are without one, and you choose to ignore and make a bad impression to the man in front of you? I should smack the living confidence out of you, Boy." Director Hammishe yanked Yugi closer to Atem.
"Greet and meet your father, Yugi." Director Hammishe looked at Daniel and the both left the lobby to give the two some privacy.
"I fucking hate her." Yugi mumbled under his breath as he watched her leave.
Atem cleared his throat gaining back Yugi's attention, and Yugi only rolled his eyes.
"You have a throat problem, Dad?" Yugi asked with false concern mixed with sarcasm.
Atem shook his head and crouched down to Yugi's level. "I'm fine, Son."
Yugi slightly grimaced for a second, backed up a little bit, and eyed Atem. "Okay. Well, what's the plan?"
"The plan is to get you up early tomorrow morning and take you home for Christmas." Atem smiled as Yugi put on a thoughtful look.
Yugi completely ignored Atem and observed him closely. He looked down at the man's shoes to see what he was wearing: black dress pants and a baby blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. A dark blue and silver Overseas dual time watch from Vacheron Constantin dressed his wrist.
"Are you rich?" Yugi suddenly ask. The watch was name brand after all.
Atem was a bit taken back at the question and shrugged. "Well, you tell me once I take you home."
Yugi frowned and his fake friendly tone changed. "Home?"
Atem nodded. "Yes. To stay with your mother, Tyra, and me."
"Tyra? Fuck Tyra." Yugi spat and stepped closer to Atem with a suddenly changed sentiment. "Fuck you. I'm tired of all of you adopting parents feeling the need to make me call you 'mother' or 'father'. Fuck that. You're certainly not my father and 'Tyra'" Yugi pronounced with harsh emphasis, "is certainly not my mother. Fuck you both again."
"Yug-" Atem started, but Yugi continued to rant.
"My mother is Keneshia Mutou, and she'll always be no matter fucking what! I don't care if she abandoned me! I don't give two fucks if she doesn't even love me anymore; she is still my mother!" Yugi swiftly kicked Atem in between his legs and ran off in pure rage.
Yugi ran past Director Hammishe and Daniel, who heard Atem's yelp of pain, and the two ran to Atem to see him bent over and holding himself.
"Mr. Yami, I am so sorry for Yugi's misbehavior." Director Hammishe apologized deeply and attempted to help him up, but Atem pushed her away.
The director kept her distance watching Atem get himself together. "Mr. Yami, it's sad to say that Yugi is still searching for his mother. He'll probably get over that once he settles in with you and understands what a true family is." Director Hammishe shook her head and looked into the direction where Yugi ran. "How I love that boy so much. He's just so angry and confused."
"Yeah, I agree." Atem spoke sounding in pain still. "He does seem angry and very confused."
Daniel shook his head. "Yugi's angry even when he's not angry."
"Oh, Daniel, I can say the same to you, Dear!" Director Hammishe joked and patted Daniel's back as his everyday frown deepened.
"Now, Mr. Yami," Director Hammishe started up again, ignoring Atem's pain. "you can complete the payment by coming to my office this way, and, Daniel, may you please find and talk to Yugi. I feel that he needs a friend right now. Someone who he can relate to." Director Hammishe winked as Daniel as he began to grind his teeth against each other.
"Yes, Ma'am, Director Hammishe. I will 'relate' to Yugi." Daniel growled and went to find the boy.
"Yugi." Daniel spoke in an unemotional tone as he entered the boys sleeping cabins. He went to the last top bunk at the end of the long room and poked the figure under a blanket. "Yugi."
"Get the fuck out of here, Daniel. We both know you don't want to deal with me." Yugi mumbled as he tightened his blanket around himself and moved farther away from the man.
"What I want is to be a millionaire actually, but I know that won't happen, so I'll just stick with wanting you to go with that man so you can be out of my hair forever." Daniel replied. After a few seconds of silence, Daniel went to poke Yugi again. "Yugi."
"Fuck off, and go be Director Hammishe's bitch again." Yugi yelled at the top of his his lungs as he sat up on his bed.
"Don't you dare insult me, Boy. I will finish crushing your already broken heart." Daniel warned. He reached up to yanked the blanket from Yugi and threw it to the ground.
"Director Hammishe is doing what's best for you, and you're being an ungrateful, miserable brat! She's giving you a chance to be like any other normal child whose mother has not abandon!" Daniel yelled. "That man out there can be a father to you and provide you with another, better, mother! Do you know how much he's worth! He's worth way more than any of all of those drugs your real mother traded you in for!"
The room became quiet again, and Yugi launched at Daniel throwing both male's to the floor.
"Don't you ever speak wrong of my mother! That is none or your business and none of your concern!" Yugi screamed as he raised his fist to punch Daniel's nose.
Daniel shoved Yugi off of him before the boy even made any physical contact to his face and stood up to glared down at the pissed boy. "Let me tell you something, Yugi." Daniel growled while putting emphasis on Yugi's name. "What I say and what I do is none or your business nor concern. What I said about your oh so very sad excuse of a mother is the truth."
"Is that what you came here for, Daniel? To shit talk about my mother in my fucking face! Is that what you came here to do, Daniel The Bitch Of Director Hammishe!" Yugi stood up also. "How would you like it if I just told your master what you are saying to me?"
"I could ask the same question to you." Daniel countered.
"You act is if I have the fear of getting fired by a whore." Yugi spat. "But on the other hand, you do."
Yugi smirked as Daniel groaned in annoyance and rolled his eyes. Quickly, Yugi bolted out of the boys camp and towards Director Hammishe's office again.
"Yugi!" Daniel yelled and ran after him.
"Well you take care, Atem, and come back tomorrow." Director Hammishe spoke from the orphanage's main doors as Atem broke away from her to go to his own car. A Lincoln MKS.
"I will. Please make sure Yugi is prepared." Atem called back.
"Oh he will be, so don't worry." Director Hammishe smiled as the young man entered his car and drove off.
Director Hammishe turned around and began making her way to the boys quarters but was soon knocked over by one boy in particular.
Yugi.
"Yugi, if you don't get off me this instant, I will make sure you'll never be able to run again!" Director Hammishe shoved Yugi off of her and stood up. "What is wrong with you, Boy! You should know not to run in halls or knock over ladies!" Director Hammishe lectured while giving Yugi a rain storm. Her th's sounded like d's, and her w's sounded like v's. Her pronunciation of words made spit fly from her lips.
"Daniel was being rude to me." Yugi spoke while wiping spit off his face.
Director Hammishe rolled her eyes. "You and Daniel are rude to everyone! What you should not be doing is complaining to me about it!"
Director Hammishe looked up to see Daniel arrived from around a corner. "And you!" She pointed at the man. "Do not be rude to him because just he is to you. Remember, he's the child, and you have to be the bigger person and handle the situation as an adult. If he's rude to you, tell me, and I'll handle it."
Director Hammishe glared back down at Yugi. "You can go pack your bags. You are leaving early tomorrow. Tonight, we will have a nice dinner in your leaving so you can say bye to everyone."
Director Hammishe walked passed the two boys and went her own way.
Yugi turned to Daniel and frowned at him. "You're a pussy."
Daniel bit his bottom lip in frustration and walked away from the boy.
Yugi rolled his eyes and went to his room to start packing.
"It's Your Time To Go
It's Your Turn To Leave!
It's Your Time To Know
That You Can Now Be Free!
.
Yugi, You Have A Home
Unlike The Rest Of Thee
So, Yugi, Go Home!
.
It's Your Time To Meet
And Grow With Forever!
Your New Family
Who'll Hate You? Never!
.
Yugi, You Have A Home
Unlike The Rest Of Thee
So, Yugi, Go Home!
.
Yugi, We'll Miss You
And, Yugi, We Hope That
One Day, We'll Meet Again
But For Now, Enjoy Your Home!"
.
The crowd of children and staff sung to Yugi who had to stand on a table.
"Now, Yugi, you have to sing your part." Director Hammishe instructed. "You know it's part of the 'Go Home' song."
Yugi rolled his eyes. "I'm not singing that stupid song." The entire orphanage was taught how to sing the 'Go Home Song' every other month, so when it was time for someone to leave, they'd sing it during the celebration of her or his last day. Yugi is one of the few people who hate the song.
Director Hammishe raised a brow. "Yes you are, Yugi. Now sing it."
"Why?" Yugi snapped at the older woman. "You're not my boss."
"Well, you won't get a new family or gifts for Christmas."
Yugi rolled his eyes. "I don't care about that man and his wife. I also don't care about those dumb presents. It's not like I get anything nice."
"Well then," Director Hammishe started, her th pronounced D's forced spit to fly out of her mouth, "Everyone get ready for bed! Chop! Chop!"
Everyone groaned and began stomping to their rooms. Director Hammishe watched all the children leave when she suddenly heard a small voice sing.
.
"It's My Time To Go
It's My Turn To Leave
It's My Time To Know
That I Can Now Be Free."
.
The director and the children turned around to see Yugi quietly singing while looking at his feet.
.
"I Now Have A Home
Unlike The Rest Of Thee
So I Will Go Home.
.
It's My Time To Meet
And Grow With Forever!
My New Family
Who'll Hate Me? Never.
.
I Now Have A Home
Unlike The Rest Of Thee
So I Will Go Home.
.
Everyone, I'll Miss You
And, Everyone, I Hope That
One Day, We'll Meet Again
But For Now, I'll Enjoy My Home!"
.
Everyone in the room cheered happily and ran towards the table Yugi was standing on.
"Alright! Alright!" Director Hammishe yelled with a smile. "Come everyone. Let's get ice cream."
Children happily followed Director Hammishe to the kitchen to grabbed cheap ice cream that they only ate on special occasions for the orphanage didn't have a lot of money to constantly buy ice cream.
Yugi jumped off the table and walked into the small kitchen going to Daniel who passed out small, renewable plastic bowls and white plastic spoons.
Every kid received a plastic bowl and spoon, but Yugi got a plastic bowl and metal spoon. The rule was that when a kid was getting a parent, that specific child would get to eat ice cream with the only metal spoon the orphanage had. That metal spoon was supposed to be special although kids used it for seven years.
Yugi was served first getting two scoops of ice cream while the others only got one. The stale ice cream tasted great to the young boy who had never eaten anything name brand in his life.
Once everyone finished their ice cream, the children were told to got to bed and get ready for Christmas the next day.
"Mutou?" A pair of hands lightly shook Yugi's shoulder. "Mutou, wakie wakie."
Yugi turned his head and waited for his eyes to adjust until he could see the person who awakened him. It was Niek.
"What do you want, Dork?" Yugi asked trying to fall back to sleep. "It's like one in the morning."
"It's actually six am, Dude." Niek corrected. "Man, Director Hammishe is downstairs talking to some man about you. Is he gonna be your dad?"
"Who? Atem? Sure you can say that."
Niek frowned. "You're gonna call him Atem when he's taking you in as his son? That's not cool, Dude. I'd be so grateful if I had a dad."
Yugi rolled his eyes and laid back down on his hard pillow. "Whatever. Go downstairs and ask him if you can be his son. You can have him."
Niek turned around at hearing Director Hammishe's voice growing louder along with Daniel's as they came to the boys quarters.
Niek slapped Yugi's shoulder. "Well, we're gonna miss you, Man, and Merry Christmas."
Yugi rolled his eyes. "Aren't you popular, Niek? You have many friends, and I'm not one of them, so don't tell me you or anyone else will miss me because it's an obvious lie."
Niek shook his head and walked over to the sleeping bag he slept in. "Yugi, you're a buffoon."
Suddenly, the door to the boys quarters opened and it revealed Director Hammishe and Daniel. The two made way to Yugi, and as Daniel was about to shake Yugi awake, Yugi said something.
"Don't even bother putting your disgusting hands on me because I'm already awake." Yugi sat up from the floor and started to roll his sleeping bag up and collecting his little amount of things.
"Yugi, don't you dare start with an attitude!" Director Hammishe snapped in a whispering tone. "Let's not leave off on bad terms, please, Yugi."
Yugi rolled his eyes and stood up with all of his things ready to follow the two adults to his new caregiver. A father. A family.
Yugi was guided through the dull, dark, and old halls of the orphanage he grew up in, the orphanage he had as a home for the past years,the orphanage he grew to secretly love because what else did he have to love during his time living in his orphanage. He surely couldn't love anyone like Director Hammishe or the other children because somewhere in his heart, he knew they were going to be taken away from him like his mother, and now like the orphanage he had called home.
And he had to admit, he was going to miss the large building full of hundreds of children.
"Good morning, Yugi." Atem smiled when he saw Yugi. "Ready to come home?"
