Today started out as a normal day. I was just finished with school and I was heading home to my Grandpa's game shop. Then I saw this girl on the street and she looked to be unconscious. When she came to she looked surprised by her surroundings, especially when I introduced myself. I thought she was crazy, but luckily she calmed down and we got something to eat. I decided to help her since she looked lost.
"So I introduced myself," I started off. "Mind telling me your name?"
"Oh I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed. "You can call me Luna. Luna Tsukino."
"Nice name" I thought. I was too scared to say it aloud. Soon I asked her more questions about her. Apparently she came from America to move to Japan. When I asked if she came with her parents she seemed to become secluded as if she didn't want to talk about it. Uh oh...
"Well you see...my Grandfather passed some time ago.. and he left me with a plane ticket to Japan because he wanted me to experience what it was like here... and my mom passed when I was 11, while my Dad..." she trailed off. Oops, I didn't mean to make her all uncomfortable. I don't know what I'd do if Grandpa and Mom died. Still I couldn't help but notice she wouldn't mention her father. Family problems?
Anyways I quickly changed the subject and the cloud of discomfort soon disappeared. Luna-chan turned out to be nice, Even though we know each other that long. Only problem though was that she was 15! She's a year younger than me and yet she a bit taller than me... on the brighter side she said I was her friend. I always wanted a true friend. I've even asked my Millennium Puzzle for true friends... maybe this means I'm gonna be close to completing it. I soon asked her if she had a place to stay and that's when her face started to pale.
"...I'm an idiot..." I heard her mutter, putting her palm on her forehead. "So that's a no?" I asked, almost disbelieving. " W-well you see... I decided to move a bit suddenly s-so I didn't have time to think about a place..." she stuttered. I couldn't help but allow a slight smile appear on my face. She's a bit reckless, kind of like Jounouchi-kun from my class...hmm if she needs a place to live...maybe.."Hey Luna-chan," I said. Her face tilted up a bit to meet my eyes. " Yeah Yugi-kun? What is it?"
"Well here goes nothing.." I thought. "H-how about you s-stay at me and Grandpa's pl-place..." I stuttered. "I'm so stupid, we only just met! She's gonna say no..." I thought.
*Luna's POV*
"H-how about you s-stay at me and Grandpa's pl-place..." Yugi stuttered. I was in complete shock...for about 2 seconds until I said "Oh my god, Yugi... really? Can I really stay at you and your grandpa's house?" I said breathlessly. "Y-yeah, as long as you help clean up at the shop. You see my grandpa owns a game shop and he always complains that he needs more help... do you mind?" He asked hesitantly. "Of course not! I love games!" I exclaimed. Besides I'd have to be crazy to pass this chance up!
Yugi let out a relieved sigh and smiled. "Well then let's go." he said. As we headed to the shop I noticed the sun was setting. "Wow, is it already that late? Time sure does fly when you're in anime..." That's when we finally made it to the Kame shop. I could barely contain my excitement, I'm right here in front of the game shop! "Grandpa? I'm home!" Yugi said as he opened the door.
The shop was so cool. It was a bit dark, but that was because the light's weren't on yet. "Yugi? What took you so long?" came a voice of no other than Sugoroku Mutou. He stepped out from one of the shelves wearing his usual light brown overalls with a pink shirt underneath and brown converse. "Sorry Grandpa... I had to help someone..." Yugi trailed off. Sugoroku-san seemed a bit confused until he saw me hiding a bit timidly behind Yugi. Hey this is a dream of my lifetime, but how am I supposed to ask someone-who just met me might I add- if I can stay at their house? Ugh. Again I didn't seem to think this through, and looking at Yugi he didn't think this through either.
"Well hello there, I've never seen you before... mind telling me your name?" Sugoruko-san asked. "My name's Luna Tsukino. I just came from America and well..." I trailed off. "America?" he said, looking at Yugi who was meeting his gaze as if he was a kid that knows he might be in trouble. "From the looks of things, we might as well talk in the living room." And that's what we did.
Yugi helped explain my situation to Sugoroko-san. He didn't interrupt, he just sat there on the couch with his eyes closed. After we were done with the story, he let out a long sigh.
"Well it's a good thing Yugi found you then." he said. I blinked. "S-so I can stay?" I asked hesitantly. "Well I can't let you stay homeless your first day here now can't I? Besides, I'd have to be senile to pass up the chance for some extra help." He said with a slight twinkle in his eyes. " Thank you Mr. Mutou!" I exclaimed, full of relief. I even went up to hug the old guy.
"Well it's no problem, and you can just call me Grandpa." said Grandpa as he returned the hug. "Isn't this great Luna-chan?" said Yugi adding a third to the hug. We all pulled away from the hug with a smile on our faces. Yugi showed me to my room, it was next to his. " Oh Luna-chan," he said, before I went to go check out my room. "Yeah?" I asked. "Grandpa is gonna to enroll you to my school, Domino High, so we're gonna go to the store tomorrow to get your supplies and the get your uniform." he explained. "Okay, fine by me." I said. " Goodnight Yugi-kun."
"Goodnight Luna-chan". I was about to head to my room before I remembered something. "Oh, and Yugi-kun?"
"Hnn?" he said a bit sleepily. " Just call me Luna." I said with a smile. Yugi showed some surprise. "In that case just call me Yugi." he replied, with the same smile.
I finally got to checking out my room. It was about the same size as Yugi's, give or take. It had a bed on the left side, right next to my bed was a desk with a really cool window in front of it, you could practically see the moon outside. I decided to put my Kindle, iPod, and sketchbook on the desk. Conveniently, there was a digital clock on the desk. It read 10:00. Wow, that late already?!
On the right side of the room were 2 door. The door on the upper corner was my closet, the closet door even had a mirror that I could use. The door on the lower corner was the bathroom. Sweet. As I changed into my nightwear and lay on my bed a million question went through my mind. "How did I get here? Do I have a purpose in this world?" I wondered. I touched one of my Millennium Bracelets. Grandpa noticed it earlier and I told him it was from my mother, so he didn't ask anything else. As I took off my bracelets one last question came to mind.
"Am I ever gonna go back home?"
So how was it? Next chapter is going to be the first episode of YuGiOh, Season 0. I will be working on it. Pls comment on how you think the story is. Fav and maybe follow.
