Chapter 36

Author Notes: I LIIIIIIIVVVVVVEEEEEE! I am so sossososososososososoooo sorry T.T' Guys you have been waiting so patiently for these chapters but with one shot week for st patties. I was supposed to do the easter one shot week(it's only gonna just be one, one shot to celebrate now)

I'm sick, and been dealing with god dang snow storms. So let's cut to the chase and get to working on this chapter. I do not own YUGIOH! I will do thanks yous in the author notes down below!

But i do wanna address Sylphia's review as you had a question. My response is no, i did not mistake the two brother names, though i will admit the way i wrote it did indeed make it confusing.

Basically Yami saw Bakura and Yugi's tight bond and he could only imagine what the bond Yugi and Ryou had before he died. That's what he was jealous about, because it was already stated and made aware that Bakura and Malik were dating already. Ok...now on with the story ^+^

3rd P.O.V(Flashback)

"What's preschool Grandpa?" Mr. Muto gave a small smile to the little girl before him. Two and a half years old and already was as bright as the crayons she draws with. Her parents would've been proud, if they were still here.

They should be here, giving their precious gem that was their baby all the love and attention in the world. "Preschool is a place where you go to learn things." The toddler pouts up at her ji-chan, still not understanding. "But I learn things now! I can even wead!" It had been a rough couple weeks.

His son and daughter in law had been laid to rest, forced to leave this world. When they were returning from a business trip the plane they took hit harsh weather, and the plane crashed.

A crash that no one survived, it was quite a shock to Solomon, as it had not been the first time he was babysitting and caring for his granddaughter, but he had always been there, with the bundle of joy that was their child smiling, ready to say 'Welcome home!'

That couldn't happen anymore, and that was painful enough, but having to try and tell Yugi that mommy and daddy not coming home was even harder. She cried for what seemed like hours, unable to quell her tears.

The funeral was even worse though, as friends and family came to offer condolences and respect the departed, the two year old wanted to go towards her parent's corpses.

She was held back however, wailing as she struggled to reach the buried pair. Her only comfort was her grandfathers' arms around her tiny frame. Sobbing all the promises he could give.

Every day since then Yugi would wake up and sit in the living room, staring at the door. Doing what she did every time she waited for her parents to come back. Even though she saw their bodies being place into the cemetery she still had hope. Hope that they would come back.

"This a place where other children go to learn things. Here you can find friends and learn things that grandpa can't teach." The aspect of finding friends made her purple eyes sparkle to life. It was a nice change from the dull slightly red version she had been wearing for weeks.

Jumping up and down she grabbed her little backpack that was bought a few days ago, and strapped it on. "Let's gooo!" He had to stop her in her tracks, though he was glad to see her so hyper and optimistic.

There was not a doubt in his mind that she would make friends instantly once he finished signing all the papers for her attendance. She was such a sweetheart, smiling and doing her best at everything she does.

But he was wrong, from day one she was laughed at, reducing her to tears. Children made fun of her for her hair and eyes, calling her weird or a freak. It enraged the elder Muto, and immediately demanded the teachers do something to stop the teasing.

And they did, they told the kids to not be mean, to be respectful of others. All typical parts of the moral code that almost no child follows without the risk of consequences.

Though some took the talking tos about being nice to heart and stopped being mean to Yugi(though they still didn't wanna play with her) others didn't care, even when thrown in time out they didn't like her and made sure she knew it.

For a year she went to preschool lonely and bored. It all changed one day though, when a boy with bright white hair came. An older version of him walked him into class, casting a scowling look at all the little kiddies.

"Be good to my brother..." When he finally left was when everyone sighed in relief, he was pretty intimidating compared to the little boy stood in front of the class. "Hi i'mma Ryou!" Just like with Yugi so many kids were mean and making fun of him, but not her.

During playtime Ryou had his favorite ball, mindlessly bouncing it around bored. Yugi who shared the same loneliness approached him. "H-hi! My name is Yugi! Will-will you pway wif m-me? Please?" Her stuttering made her speech slip.

He smiled big and wide, it was easy to see he was missing a tooth. "Yeah! I w-would Wove too! Imma Ryou~" From then on friendship blossomed, five years of joy and adventures took place.

Becoming like siblings the two constantly were found together, of course Ryou's parents didn't approve. But Bakura supported their close bond 100 %, ignoring their orders and as if to spite them. Bakura only cared for his brothers' happiness and damn anyone who didn't.

Mr. Muto took the two boys in with open arms, treating them like family, glad they provided his granddaughter the friendship she craved. The child she was when her parents died and the child she now had no commonalities.

At least until one day when Ryou fell over on the ground and couldn't find the strength to get up. "Ow." Yugi looked at him concerned. "Are you ok Ryou?" They were eight now, there was barely anything the two hid from each other, so he didn't bother trying to lie and give the typical 'i'm fine' response.

"I-I don't know, I can't move, and I feel really tired." Her worry growing she called her teacher over. And quickly he was brought to the nurse's office. Things escalated pretty quickly, when his brother was called.

This wasn't the first time Ryou wasn't feeling well. Since birth he's always had a weak immune system and was seriously accident prone. It was one of the reasons why Yugi always said she'd be a doctor.

Whenever Ryou hurt himself, Yugi was always there to patch him up and liked helping both him and others. To the two it made perfect sense. Sadly though there was no fixing Ryou after one trip to the doctors. "Grandpa...what's cancer?"

The question startled the old man so much that he dropped a plate he was cleaning. "Wh-why do you want to know?" She approached him a confused frown on her face. "They said Ry-Chan has it." As soon as she said it her grandpa takes her into his arms.

Despite her questions he refused to answer it. All she really knew was that Ryou was sick, so she decided she would do whatever it took to cheer him up and make him healthy again.

Practicing her cooking with Bakura to make yummies, doing more research on how to take care of sick people, and visiting every day after school. She went through this cycle for months.

Until the final nail in the coffin, Bakura brought Yugi as per usual, since him and Mr. Muto took turns bringing the girl to the hospital. Both of them chatted like normal, they stopped, frozen in their tracks.

Ryou's face was covered with a white sheet, and a few people were standing at his bedside. "No..." Bakura marched forward, leaving Yugi there to watch horror as the teen was kept away from the body.

It reminded her far too much of her parents, tears leaked through her eyes as her older brother figure broke down screaming. "BRING HIM BACK YOU FUCKERS! HE CAN'T BE DEAD!"

...

"After that, we had the funeral, Bakura up and left and it was just me and grandpa again." Tea was ready to burst into tears, her urge to go up and hug her classmate was quelled up till now.

But after Yugi finally ended her tale she couldn't hold it in anymore, tackling her friend, sobbing her heart out. All the guys were emotional too, though they didn't shed tears like Tea, however that didn't mean all of them had saddened expressions.

To them it was just...messed up, how one can go through so many tragic events. "Yugi..." Her gaze meets Duke, an apologetic look was on his face, he was about to ask something that though was important, was very personal.

"Did you ever think of..." The air around everyone stilled, tension rolling off in waves as everyone waited with bated breath. Fidgeting in place she looked away. "At one point-I contemplated it from time to time. But I never mustered the courage to actually-" Yami took a sharp breath.

If she didn't say it herself he would've never believed-never thought that Yugi Muto, would feel so broken, would desire such freedom from her inner turmoils, that she would think of killing herself.
