Smoke and Mirrors

Open to ideas and since my muses like to read the reviews this is what keeps to fires blazing because the more ideas you have as a fanfiction writer the larger the fire burns although most writers tend to have their ideas fall on them from the sky. Although I still think about how those ideas come to me, could be something in my coffee or something along the line. Open to ideas as usual.

Atem's POV

I was not expecting the boy to carry a smoke bomb let alone telling me to leave him and the rest of his kind who could be living in the palace alone. 'I wonder how many of his own kind are living in the palace' I thought and as soon as the smoke cleared he was gone. 'Wonder what else the little ones have in their bag of tricks' I thought.

Maybe I should have expected this after all mother told me the little people who live in the walls and under the floors and avoid human contact. 'I can see why mother little people fear us' I thought not counting on finding the tiny boy, Yugi right away still I have to admit his kind may be small but are very smart.

'Yugi I promise Pegasus has been ignored by the other priests. I am not going to hurt you and your own' I thought. I only want to be his friend but he has so far avoided me and told me to leave him and his own alone even when I saved his tiny life from Mahad's cat. I could only be alone with my thoughts but I can't get him out of my own mind.

Yugi's POV

I am glad Alistair taught me how to make smoke bombs "they come in handy if one of those giants try to catch you because once the smoke clears those big people don't even know what hit them" he said to me. I just hope it might be enough to get the Prince to leave us alone. While I am grateful he saved my life I just want him to leave us alone in peace.

I still regret getting seen by him when I didn't know it. A light appeared at the corner of my eye, it was Triston. "I had to tell him myself Triston" I said before he could say anything. "Yugi I just have questions to ask you and promise not to get defensive" he said.

"Yugi was that human the same one who saved you from the cat" he asked. "Yes". "Did you make one of the smoke bombs are new friends showed you" he asked. "Yes and he said it would work and so far it has" I replied. "Good but Yugi you better continue to avoid him we Borrowers avoid them for a reason" he said.

"Yeah I know Akane told me to the big people we look like pests and from what the Prince has said so far there are stories about us" I said. "Well I was not at all expecting to know the humans know more about us" he said as we went back home together. "I was surprised too and so far to them there just stories" I said. "Well I have heard about a Priest getting suspicious and there is a chance more know we are here" Triston said.

Triston's POV

I saw what Yugi did, using that smoke bomb to surprise that human and of course the new comers are very helpful, although I think Valon likes Akane and vice versa which should not surprise me cause she has been looking for someone in her life.

"Well Yugi I hope he will leave us alone" I said. "Well I should be happy he saved my life but it was one time and he should leave us alone or the other humans are going to find out. I feel it is my fault" he said. "Yugi don't say that it happens to one of us but as long as we don't enforce it we should be alright" I said to make Akane's little brother feel better.

Still I hope we don't arouse any more suspicion to our presence in the human palace. Still to Akane and Grandpa Motu the biggest mystery is what happened to her and Yugi's parents. "Yugi we can only hope and be careful to avoid being discovered" I said.

As long as we keep the smoke and mirrors up we should be alright.
