William sighed as he entered the kitchen to get the glasses of ice teas. He grimanaced as he heard a crash somewhere in the other room where Yugi and Yugi's grandpa were still fighting about the millennium puzzle. Suddenly memories of when his father and him use to pull stunts that were similar to Yugi and Yugi's grandpa came rushing back to him.
/Flash Back/
A younger version of William was running around in the kitchen holding the doughnut box that had one last doughnut in it as his father gave chase after him. "Give me that doughnut!" William's father yelled.
"No it's mine!" William yelled as he ran around the table keeping his eyes directly on his father and was determined to keep the table between them.
"You don't even like Jelly doughnuts, William." William's father said as he stared at his son.
"You ate my last strawberry frosted doughnut, so it's only fair that I get to eat the last jelly doughnut, Dad!" William yelled as he dodged to the side as his father gave chase after him again with a growl.
"Tell you what, if you give the last doughnut...I'll buy you that game system you want so badly."
"Dad, this is mine and no matter how much I want that game system. I will not be talked out of eating this doughnut!" William yelled.
William's mother stood off to the side laughing at the sight of her husband trying to bribe their son, so he could have the last doughnut. She placed her hand on her husband's defeated shoulder. "Oh let him have the last doughnut...it is his birthday dear and you did eat his doughnut yesterday. It would only be fair." His mother said with smile as his father's head hung down wards in defeat.
"Fine."
"Yes!" William cheered as he than took a large bite out of the jelly doughnut, only for him to grimance and make a face of disgust as his father smirked in amusement.
"Did I forget to mension it was a fig jelly doughnut?" His father asked with a evil smile of amusement.
"Dad, you are evil." William said with tears running down his face as he stared at him.
"You wanted it, so you better eat it..." His father said laughing as his mother rolled her eyes as she went to make breakfast.
"I hate figs!" William whined as he ate the rest of the douhghnut with a grimance.
/End Flash Back/
William shook his head as he got the drinks ready to bring up stairs for Yugi, Tea and himself. He also got a glass of Ice tea for Yugi's grandpa as well since it would only be fair. He came walking into the room carrying a tray as Tea turned to look at William with a smile. "Thanks William." Tea said as she took a glass of Ice tea from him.
"No problem. Are they still at it?" William asked in disbelief when he saw Yugi and Yugi's grandpa were still at it.
"Afraid so." Tea said.
"Great...Guess, I'm going to have to end this." William said as Tea looked at him in curiousity. "WHO WANTS ICE TEA!" William yelled making Yugi and Yugi's grandpa pause in their little scruffle as they turned to look at him. "Ice tea...who wants one." William said calmly as he stood there holding the tray of drinks.
Yugi and Yugi's grandpa walked over as they each took a drink as well. "William, you didn't have to do this. I could have brought you kids up the drinks." Yugi's grandpa said as William gave him a smile. True William's smile was hard to tell if it was fake or if it was a real smile.
"It's fine. It's the least I could do since your kind of enough to let me stay here." William said as he placed the tray down to lift up the last drink that was for himself. Soon Yugi, Tea and himself headed upstairs to work on puzzles, homework and play some card games. Yugi's grandpa took a sip of ice tea as he went to work in the shop some more. Roughly a few hours latter Tea left to head home for the night.
Latter that same night, Yugi sat at his computer desk working on the Millennium Puzzle. The clicking sounds of the millennium puzzle pieces could be heard inside Yugi's room. "Why do I always get stuck here?" Yugi asked softly to himself as he continued working on it. He eventually fell asleep at his computer desk. William who was still up went to ask Yugi a question, since he saw Yugi's bedroom light was still on. He hesitantly knocked on Yugi's door but got no answer so he opened the door and poked his head into the room only to see Yugi was sound asleep at his computer desk.
William sighed as he opened the door and let himself into the room. He silently debated in his head if he should let Yugi sleep at his desk or move him onto his bed so he could be more comfortable. Sleeping at a desk wasn't good for the back since William had done that more than once, only to wake up stiff and with his back hurting like crazy. William sighed as he approached Yugi and carefully picked him up. True he could have just woke Yugi up but memories from earlier that morning replayed in his head, and didn't feel like being hit in the face again. He was sort of surprised that Yugi had not woken up from being picked up. William sighed as he carried him over to his bed, before he placed him down on top of the bed. William than reached over as he grabbed Yugi's spare blanket, he than drapped it over Yugi.
"Night Yugi...I'll just ask my question sometime tomorrow." William said softly before he than walked back over to the computer desk to turn off the lamp. He glanced down at the millennium puzzle pieces, where he swore he saw them trembling a bit as they had a slight glow to them. William shook his head as he reached over as he clicked the light off. He than left Yugi's room as he closed the door behind him. He than headed to his own room as he closed his bedroom door behind him once he was inside. He was lost in his own troubling thoughts and his mask that he been hinding behind seemed to have slipped showing the real him.
Tomorrow night the millennium puzzle will be finished and the Pharaoh's spirit will be awaken, i'm positive of it. My only question is this, going to follow the manga, the anime or will it be completely different because of my presence here in this world? So many questions and no answers to these questions of mine. Damn it, I wish I had someone I could talk to about my situation. However the only two people that could give me any information or the answers that I need, I wont be meeting them for a while. Shadi is my best bet right now since trying to get a hold of Ishizu is practically impossible since she's somewhere in Egypt. Let's see, Shadi makes a few appearences...One is in season Zero, Than you have Duelist kingdom after Pegasus looses his millennium eye to Bakura the evil spirit of the millennium ring, and I pretty sure he makes an appearance during Battle City on the blimp when he helped Tristan and Duke. I just hope he will know something or else I will have to wait until the Battle City tournament to speak with Ishizu. Augh...this is giving me a headache from hell. I still haven't mourned properly for my father's death either. So many regrets and there is nothing I can do to change the past or fix those mistakes. William thought as he flopped down onto his bed landing on his back as he stared up at the ceiling. How long he laid like that as the memories of his past replayed in his mind, he wasn't sure
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. It was necessary, William. I'm so sorry." That same annoying voice he been hearing since he ended up in this world suddenly spoke up making William bolt upright into a sitting position. He looked frantically around the room but no one was there except for himself. William sighed as he shook his head.
"It's official, I'm loosing my bloody mind." William mumbled under his breath before he just sighed. He eventually crawled into bed as he reached over to turn off his bed side light. Once the light went out he laid down on his left side and closed his eyes to get some sleep. However had he turned over to sleep on his right side and looked at the far corner near his bed he would have seen a pair of glowing crimson red eyes starring down at him.
The next day at Domino High School during recess. Yugi sat at his desk as he yawned loudly behind his hand. "I shouldn't have stayed up so late working on the millennium puzzle." Yugi mumbled under his breath as he tried to fight off another yawn. He was exhausted and was a tiny bit confused on how he went to bed last night. Last thing he could remember was sitting at his computer desk working on the millennium puzzle and than waking up to find himself resting on his bed.
However he was also concerned and worried about William. William clearly looked terrible. Two black eyes, the bandages on his nose to keep it in place, his eyes appeared almost blood shot like he hadn't slept in weeks and William appeared psychically, emotionally as well mentally exhausted. Appearently a teacher who saw William had decided to have the nurse check on him, since the nurse had showed up right before recess, and had asked for William to come with her. William didn't look to thrilled about going to the nurse's office but followed the nurse out of the classroom.
"I hope William's okay." Yugi said softly just as Ushio the hall monitor entered the classroom. Ushio smiled as he approached Yugi.
"Hey Yugi." Ushio said making Yugi look up at him.
"Ushio?" Yugi asked in confusion.
"Yugi, I need to show you something. Could you come with me for a moment?" Ushio asked politely.
"Uh sure?" Yugi said soulding a bit hesisitant as he got up to follow Ushio out of the class room as they then headed outside. "What did you want to show me, Ushio?" Yugi asked as he followed Ushio behind the school.
"I know you'll like it when you see it, Yugi." Ushio chuckled a bit. They soon turned a corner and Yugi was horrified to see Joey and Tristan badly beaten up as they were slumped against the side of the building.
"Joey, Tistan?! W-what in the world-?!" Yugi started but Ushio interrupted him.
"I decided to teach these bullies a lesson, one they would never forget. Like I told you, I'm your body guard." Ushio said as Yugi ignored him as he went to check on Joey and Tristan.
"Are you all right Joey, Tristan?!" Yugi asked in concern only to be glared at by Joey since Tristan was out cold.
"Y-Yugi...you bastard...are you happy now?" Joey snapped in rage.
"Joey, do you honestly believe I asked Ushio to do this?!" Yugi asked in horror only to be shoved out of the way by Ushio.
"Guess, I'm not finished in punishing these losers yet." Ushio growled as he went to kick Joey only to find Yugi suddenly standing there blocking him from Joey and Tristan.
"That's enough Ushio! Just stop!" Yugi yelled as he stared at Ushio as Joey was starring at Yugi in confusion and shock.
"Tch, why are you protecting them? This is your chance to get back at them for how they treated you. Go a head, kick or hit them Yugi." Ushio said as he stared down at him.
"I won't do that to my friends!" Yugi yelled.
"Haahahahaha! For real? You actualy call these losers your friends? Give me a break Yugi, these are the guys who pick on you everyday!" Ushio laughed as Joey continued to stare at Yugi in stunned disbelief.
"They weren't picking on me, they were just teaching me how to be a man..." Yugi trailed off as Ushio rolled his eyes at this.
"Sure they were, look it doesn't really matter. You still have to pay what you owe me Yugi."
Yugi looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"Heh...heh...Yugi, bodyguards aren't cheap. You basically owe me 200,000 yen!" Ushio laughed as Yugi looked ready to have a heart attack.
"What!?" Yugi almost screamed.
"For 200,000 yen, you can beat the shit out of these guys all you want. Hell, you could even take out your daily frustrations or troubles out on them. I think it's a very good deal don't you?" Ushio asked as he smirked.
"No, it's not!" Yugi snapped.
"What's this? You wont be satisfied until I hurt them even more?" Ushio asked.
"Don't you dare hurt these two any more! If you want to hurt someone, than hurt me instead!" Yugi yelled horrifying Joey as Ushio than grabbed Yugi by the collar of his shirt as he lifted Yugi up off the ground.
"You're a crazy kid, but alright. If that's what you want, I normally hate picking on people but this isn't what I would call bullying. This is clearly a warning of what will happen if you don't pay me." Ushio said as he got ready to punch Yugi in the face.
Yugi, why are you doing this?! Are you really trying to protect Tristan and myself!? Why didn't you just stay quiet like you always do, so you don't get hurt! Joey thought frantically.
I made a wish on the millennium puzzle to have friends. Friends who I could count on, and friends that could count on me in return. No matter what! Yugi thought as he squeezed his eyes close as he braced himself for pain. When nothing happened he opened his eyes to see William standing there holding Ushio's fist still as he was glaring hatefully at Ushio.
"That's enough. Your fight is with me, now." William snarled as he tightened his grip as he put extreme pressure down onto the pressure points in Ushio's arm causing him to cry out in pain as he dropped Yugi to the ground just as William moved to stand in front of Yugi, Joey and Tristan as he released Ushio's arm.
"William!?" Yugi asked in horrified disbelief just as Joey stared wide eyed at the new kid. William ignored them as he kept his eyes glued on Ushio's every movement.
"You're going to regret that, pretty boy!" Ushio snarled only to cry out in pain as William suddenly decked him in the face hard enough for his nose to make a sicken crack sound as he stubbled backwards. Blood ran down Ushio's face and before Ushio could fully react William suddenly ducked down as he sweeped Ushio's legs out from under him as Ushio than hit the ground hard and before Ushio could get back up to his feet. William slammed his foot hard down onto his back. Not hard enough to break the spine or anything but hard enough to show he was not fooling around.
"Yeild." William snarled in a deadly tone as he glared down at Ushio, like an angry wolf waiting to deliever the finishing blow onto it's prey.
"Get off me." Ushio snarled in rage as Wiliam reluctantly let him up. Ushio stood up only to suddenly take out a knife as he than swung it at William. William leaned back to avoid the deadly surprise attack, however the knife still managed to slice the side of his face making William snarl in pain as he backed away from him. Blood ran down from the shallow wound giving it the illusion of being much worse than it actually was. "Yugi, if you know what's good for you, and your so called friends! You better bring me the 200,000 yen, you fucken owe me or else I'll be teaching you lot a lesson with this very knife. You especially better watch your back, pretty boy! I'll get you for humiliating me like this!" Ushio snarled as he glared at them before he ran off. William growled under his breath as he glared after Ushio's retreating form.
There's nothing I can do, he's to strong for me. Is giving him the money, all I can do in order keep my friends safe? Yugi wondered sadly as he looked at the cut on the side of William's face.
"William...you're hurt." Yugi said as William gave him a small nervous smile.
"It's just a scratch...it's really not as bad as it looks. Come on, give me a hand so we can get Joey and Tristan to the nurse's office." Wiliam said calmly.
"Hey William...sorry about yesterday." Joey said softly as he looked at the new kid. William blinked at Joey before he than gave Joey a small smile.
"Don't worry about it, Joey. It's in the past." William said with a smile as Joey simply stared at him. Joey was able to walk on his own for the most part but had Yugi and William on either side of him just in case he had to lean on one of them for support. William was carrying Tristan since he was still out cold as he was drapped over William's left shoulder as William carried him. Yugi was silent as he wondered what to do about Ushio.
