Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. But I'm not so sure who owns Snow White…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a cool winter's night and snowflakes were gently falling, slowly blanketing a small kingdom. This quaint little town surrounded a magnificent castle with turrets and towers, and at the topmost tower of all, a beautiful queen sat at her open window, watching the snow fall on the kingdom she ruled, watching as one by one, the lights went out in the cottages, and parents put their children to sleep. She would watch the town every night, in hopes of seeing one of the town's little children, for she had none of her own.
She sighed and reached her hand up to close the window, but as she did, she raked her finger across the pane, and cut herself. She gasped slightly and three drops of blood fell onto the snow on the ledge. She stuck her finger in her mouth and cursed internally. She glanced at the blood and snow against the night sky. 'I wish I had a daughter with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as dark as night.'
A few months after, she got her wish and she bore a child. It was not a daughter, but a son. He was not an albino with skin as white as snow. He had a normal skin tone. His lips were not as red as blood, but more of a dark peachy shade. And his hair was only partly as dark as night. He had golden bangs and his black hair was edged in magenta. Now, the queen was not all too disappointed. She named him Yugi and was as happy as a mother could be, especially when her husband, the king, died a few days later, for all of his money and riches and kingdom were left to her. Not a month later, though, she remarried to a man named Pegasus.
Pegasus was a bit image obsessed and had his own magical mirror. Where he got it, the queen never dared to ask. She was a little afraid of it because whenever he asked, "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the most adorable of us all?" the Mirror would always answer, "You're the most adorable one of all." Now, the Mirror being sentient, knew that even though the white- haired lunatic really wasn't the most adorable, Pegasus had something called a 'fist' and a glass of wine: a bad combination for such a cowardly Mirror.
This went on for over a decade. The kingdom was at peace and everyone was happy. But it was getting harder to ignore the increasing adorability of Yugi who grew to be a very lovable fifteen-year-old. His small stature seemed to help; making him look like he was ten, and his eyes always gleamed with boyish curiosity. And so, it seemed destined that one fine summer's day, Pegasus went to his Magic Mirror and asked it,
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who's the most adorable of us all?"
The mirror paused and finally let out,
"Yugi is the most adorable one of all."
The scream that pierced the castle afterward caused one the castle's soldiers/huntsmen to come bursting into the room.
"My Queen, what has happened?!" He glanced around the room to see Pegasus looking as if he were in the middle of a heart attack, and a scared-looking mirror.
"Where's the Queen?" he asked stupidly. Pegasus sputtered out a sound of suppressed rage. He stomped over to the huntsman and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him close to his face. "This is what you are to do with little Prince Yugi…"
