Chap four is here!

The Rending

Yugi woke up at 8:00 a.m. as his alarm went off. He looked around, expecting to be in a room that was somewhat unfamiliar to him, but was relieved to see his own four walls. Yugi took off his powder blue cloud pajamas and changed into a tight black, cutoff t-shirt, and tight leather pants. Then, the accessories. A tight, navy blue choker and silver bracelets on his arms. Yugi padded down stairs in his socks and saw that his grandpa was already making breakfast.

"Morning Yugi."

"Morn'n Jii-chan."

The elder Mouto turned to face Yugi, but his attention was mostly on the eggs, which were threatening to burn.

"Yugi, could you get the paper? I have to baby these eggs." Mr. Mouto asked his grandson.

"Sure Grandpa." Yugi walked through the kitchen, and into the game shop part of his home, to the front door. His jaw dropped as he saw what was lying there next to the paper. A girl was lying in the fetal position right on top of the welcome mat. Her hair was oak brown for the most part, with lighter brown highlights here and there. But what really struck Yugi was the familiarity of what the girl was wearing: A long, white tunic with light blue fire at the collar and sleeves, and a navy blue skirt that went just below the knees. It was the girl from his 'dream'. Yugi saw that she had a small stream of blood running from her temple, just above the hairline, to the chin.

"Grandpa! Come quick! I need help!" He quickly called out to his grandpa.

"Yugi? What is-"Mr. Mouto saw the girl lying on the ground. "Oh dear. Let's get her inside quickly." With their combined strength, the girl was soon on the couch in the living room, with Yugi bandaging her head wound. Yugi was cleaning up the extra band-aids, and thinking of who the mystery girl could be.

Could she be the girl from my dream? In my dream she said her name was Rhia, but she looks familiar. Like I've known her from before. And, she's beautiful. Her face is that of an angel. I really don't know what happened to her, but I'll help her with all I can. He took the girl's hand and squeezed it, to comfort her. The head wound she had was serious, and Yugi wasn't sure she would come out of it. To Yugi's surprise, she squeezed weakly back. Over the next five hours, Rhia turned and shifted, as if she was experiencing a nightmare. Yugi continued to comfort her, to assure her, and it seemed to work, she always calmed down. A few minutes after another 'nightmare', Rhia started to wake up.

"Oh man. What a head ache." Her hand went to her forehead, and she could tell that she wasn't in her own bed. Her eyes snapped open. "Where am I?" She demanded, tensing up.

"It's OK. You're in the Kame game shop." Yugi said slowly, trying not to scare the girl.

"Kame…Game shop?" Her eyes widened. "Nuh-uh, no way. This…but how?" Rhia couldn't believe what she was seeing, so she closed her eyes, then opened them again hoping it was a dream. It wasn't.

"I was getting the morning paper when I saw you on the doorstep." Yugi explained as best he could, but not knowing much either about her arrival, he wasn't such a big help.Grandpa Mutou walked in and saw that Rhia was awake.

"Hoho! Our visitor is awake now? Tell me, what's your name?" He asked.Yugi and his grandpa waited, but no answer came. Rhia remained silent. "Oh, forgive me, I've forgotten my manners. I'm Suguroku Mutou, but everyone calls me Jii-chan. And this is my grandson, Yugi." Yugi nodded when his name was said, and the wait for the girl's name started again.

"Rhiannon. Rhia…for short." The familiar girl finally answered, unsurely.

Yugi's eyes lit up in recognition. She was the girl from his 'dream'. Suguroku's eyebrows rose up in recognition as well.

"Rhia…that sounds so familiar. Maybe…" Grandpa went in search of, what it seemed to be a photo album. Yugi and Rhia watched in curiosity, not exactly sure what he was doing. "Aha! Here it is. Rhia, does this look familiar?" Rhia took the picture and gasped. It was the exact scene in the second dream she had, just before she appeared here. It was a toddler version of herself and Yugi trying to build a sandcastle in a sandbox. "I thought so. You look so much like your mother, did you know that? What happened to you?"

Rhia was perplexedto say the least. What did he mean by "You look so much like your mother"?


"Huh? What do you mean? Nothing happened, except, of course, suddenly showing up here for some reason…" She trailed off.

"Rhia, I'll tell you everything, just answer me this. Who are your parents?" Solomon asked, pity beginning to form in his eyes.

"Dan and Sarah Analy," She answered sharply. The pity that had begun to form in Solomon's eyes completely took over.

"This will be a shock to you but, Sarah and Dan Analy… they are not your parents. When you were three, you were kidnapped. No one knew how it happened; there were no signs of forced entry. Your parents, Keiko and Shinji Harada were grief stricken and soon died in a car crash. I don't know how else to say this, but the people who you thought were your parents, aren't."

Rhia was shocked. Her whole life was a lie? She didn't know what to think. The people who had taken care of her for fifteen years weren't here parents, and her real ones were dead. Shock and grief were rampant in Rhia's mind. Her shock fueled her grief, and she snapped. The tears started to flow, and she didn't know what to do. She got up and pushed away from her the closest person, which happened to be Yugi. She ran out the door, just wanting to get away from everything.

"Rhia! Wait!" Yugi ran after her, but was soon left behind, because of his short legs. Rhia knew exactly where she was going, the perfect place to hide: Domino Park. The one place where no one would find her, unless she wanted them to. The perfect place to calm her emotions and think things through.

Ouch. I had to do that to her though. Now you know why this chaps called the Rending. Please R&R!
