Lost
Yami walked back home from school with his friends, laughed and talking. They went their separate ways on the corner of the streets where they usually met. "See ya tomorrow Yami," Jou said. Yami nodded as he walked to the Turtle Game Shop where he lived. Outside of the building, an old man was sweeping on the porch humming. He notice the shadow coming towards him as he looked up to see Yami. "Hello Yami," he smiled. Yami smiled back as they walked inside the store. The old man lock the door and put the sign up 'close' as he went to the counter. "Hey Yami," he said. Yami stared at him in wonder as he gave him some cards. "I save the best one for you," he said. He stared at the cards to see monsters, trap, magic, and spells. "Thanks ji-san," he said, started in awe at the cards. "Its for the best for my grandson," he smiled. Yami is used to being called 'grandson' by the old man. He wasn't related to him in anyway by blood or remember how he lived with him, but all he knows that he need to.
Yami told him that he will be upstairs doing his homework as his grandpa nodded. He walked up, down the hallway and turned left to his room. Once he opened, a welcome sunset embrace him. He smiled as he sat down on his chair and begin to opened his text book. Math change since the pass five thousand years ago, well everything did. It was hard for him to concentrate since last week. He looked up the calendar; red lines cross the box a with half of it plain with writings of something. Tomorrow it says 'final exam.' Yami detested exam as much he hated school. "Dinner is ready," the old man called.
The quiet between the two was irritating. Yami had hardly ate his food as his grandpa stared at him with concerned. "Yami, my boy, what's wrong?" he asked. "Nothing," the teen sighed. His grandpa didn't believe him so he asked again. "Are you sure?" Yami nodded as he took a sip from his drink. "Why do you ask?" he said. "You've been spacing out lately since last week," he responded. So he noticed it too. His friends asked the same question to him as he answer it was nothing, so they left it like that. "Well, you get the feeling that your missing something?" he asked.
"Like something very important to you?"
" Yeah."
"Then yes, so that's what bothering you?"
Yami nodded as his grandpa trying to figure out what he can do to help.
"Is it an item?"
"No."
"A person?"
"I don't know really," Yami answered. Boy, this is tough. They had finished their dinner and decided to talk about Yami's problem tomorrow. Right now, Yami had just finished washing the dishes as his grandpa went to bed. The time on the wall said it was nine, so Yami decided to turn in too. He walked up the stairs and went to his room then into the bathroom to change; a black tank top with a navy blue boxers. The moonlit cast his own shadow as Yami started to sweat.
In his dream he was school with his friends laughing away. Then the bell rang as they change class. 'Hey watch it,' Jou growled. Yami to turned to see a young boy apologizing. 'I'm sorry,' he said, in a low voice. 'Well you better be you twerp,' Jou said, kicking him. He fell to the ground and Jou laughed. Yami stared at Jou and walked to the younger boy. 'Are you okay?' he asked. The boy stood up to see his face. Yami's eyes widen; the boy hair was tri-color like his and same style but his eyes were purple and innocent. 'I'm okay,' he said, standing up. 'Hey, what is your name?' Yami asked. The boy's eyes filled with sorrow when he looked at him. 'You don't remember?' he asked. Yami now stared at him before a black portal open behind him.
'What is this?' Yami asked, before it grab the boy. He scream in pain as it pulled him to the darkness. 'Someone help me!' he cried. Yami grabbed his hand and saw his friends behind him. 'Don't just stand there! Help him!' Yami yelled. His friends came over, but instead of helping the poor boy they grabbed Yami. 'What are you guys doing?' Yami yelled, struggle to get free. 'Leave him, he just a troublemaker,' Anzu said. 'He's nothing,' Honda said. 'Yeah, he weak and pathetic,' Jou said. The boy was closer to the portal as he scream for help. 'Help me Yami!' he screamed, entering to the portal.
"YUGI!" Yami screamed, sweating and panting. He blink a few time before he realized he was in his room. It was only a dream, he sighed. Just then he remember the boy and jumped up from his bed. Yugi!He ran out of his room and notice the door next to his room. He struggle to open the door as it finally swung forward. He looked around to see the empty bed, a desk, and the book shelf. Everything in the room was untouched as he looked in the closet, praying he would be there. He gasp to find everything that belong to his light gone. His felt his heart skipped its beat as he looked into the drawer to find a black journal. He flipped throught the pages and readed:
Hey what up Journal,
I'm doing fine I think. Well, Yami has finally got his body and everyone seem so happy. I watched them walking out without me. I figure that they are excited and wanted some space. So I'll let them do that and throughout the day I helped Ji-san with the shop. So yea, I think is is going to be great from here.
Yami turned a few pages and read another entry:
Journal,
My friends are beginning to be distant from me as much as ji-san. I don't know why so I asked them and I got the responds saying that later on things will get back to normal. So yeah, that's all I could say for today I think.
The further Yami read, more sorrow was written:
Yami laughed at me when Honda and Jou kicked me. I'm okay though. Little bruises here and there, its not as bad as that Ushiro guy did. It hurts whenever I moved and Ji-san told me it will go away soon. Anzu on the other hand ignored me. Why did this happen?
Yami was shaking as tears beginning to form in his eyes.
What did I do wrong? Everybody started to ignore me. I'm too afraid to asked why cause they beat me up. One time I went to the hospital from blood lost from the cut that they made. Luckly Ryou saw me and called the ambulance. I thank him and he said it was okay. I guess the only friend I have is Ryou and Bakura.
Finally, he could no longer hold his tears once he read the final entry that Yugi wrote:
Dear Journal,
Once again, my friends yelled at me. I don't know why or how, but why did I ever consider them as 'friends' when they only want Yami, not me. Yeah, you remember Yami. My other self, my darker half. I thought that if Yami stay, its going to be great but now I realize that was a mistake. I won't regret him or blame them. Yami is so much better than I am in looks and attitude. As for me, I'm just a kid who couldn't do anything right. I guess he is so perfect that everybody loves him, including my own grandpa!
No aibou.. your not pathetic.
It's like this; when I pass by, they looked and stared at me like I was a complete stranger. But when Yami came, everybody rushes to him like raving fan-girl. Treating him like a friend and family, but what did I get? "Get out of here you piece of shit!" No respect! They USED me just to get to Yami.
When?
I feel so left out that my grandpa forget that I was his only grandson by blood. It's like every memories and moment that we share is replace by Yami. Everybody thinks that Yami was always there when I'm the one who stay and endure the pain with them! I think that everybody forgot that I exist!
Its not true...
That's it! I'm leaving and I'm never coming back. If this is the way they wanted, fine! I'll do them a favor and just go! I can't handle this pain anymore. It's too much.... too much.... you win Yami.
When did this became a contest?
Goodbye forever...
No, come back!
-The Unloved Boy
Yugi
Yami cried and clings on to the journal. No, he wasn't gone. This has to be a lie, a trick! His aibou, his light.... gone forever. He looked through it again to see where he had gone to but nothing was said. "Damn it why couldn't you tell me where he is?" Yami growled, nearly tears the pages off the book. He threw the book to the wall in anger and started crying again. Oh aibou, what have I done?
Solomon woke up from a bang as if something hit the wall. He got up and walked down the hall to see the door opened. His eyes widen as he saw Yami crying. "Yami, what happen?" he asked. Yami shook his head. "He's gone... Yugi is gone!" he choked. He hugged Yami in comfort. "Shhh, its okay," he said. "No its not okay. Yugi is gone and it's my fault. Yugi is gone," Yami cried, pushing him away. Solomon got up, left the room, and called the police. "Yugi, please come back," Yami cried.
