/./ = Yugi's thoughts
***
Yugi was awake. He was dimly aware that he was in a bed and that he was alone. He yawned and then sat up. /Was all that... a dream? But it felt so real... / He then noticed that Yami wasn't there but he felt from the puzzle that Yami was somewhere... /Is Yami still in that world...? / Yugi suddenly slapped himself on the forehead and smirked. /Am I actually believing that all that happened? But it couldn't have happened! /
Yugi yawned again and then finally noticed, with a start, that this wasn't his room. The room was bigger than his was. It was a LOT bigger. Also, nothing in the room looked familiar. Yugi stood up, from where he was he could see a picture on a desk that had either his or Yami's all too obvious hair. On getting closer to the picture he saw that it was Yami and... Anzu... kissing and laughing. Shocked, Yugi grabbed the picture and held it closer as to see it better. His mouth was hanging open. "Wha...?" he whispered, breaking the silence of... well, where ever he was. He set the picture back down on the desk where he then noticed wedding plans and spare invitations. Yugi picked up an invitation and read. "Yami and Anzu's wedding... We ask not for presents, but your presence... Date, the twenty- first... "
Yugi stopped. /When is that? Is it... today? Has it already happened? Could Yami be on his honeymoon? / Yugi shivered at the thought. He couldn't know if Yami was on his honeymoon or not, because even though there was a desk calendar there, with the twenty-first circled, none of the other days of the whole year were crossed out. He pinched himself rather hard, just to assure himself that he was not dreaming. Of course, he wasn't. So this was, in fact, Yami's room. Was it a soul room? Yugi immediately ruled out that possibility. He had been in Yami's soul room before, but it had been dark and maze-filled. /Well, if this really is Yami's room, then I don't think that he would mind too much if I... went through it... /
Yugi sighed and sat up. He noticed a file cabinet and opened the bottom drawer. There was only one file in there, which was labeled, 'Sugoroku Muto'. However, it happened to be a very large file, indeed. It took a lot of Yugi's strength to heave the massive file out of the drawer. Yugi dropped the file on the floor and sat down beside it. The first papers in the file were... medical bills... after the medical bills, there was... "A DEATH certificate!?"
Frantic, Yugi began sifting through the file, but it only more conclusively proved that his grandfather was certainly dead and had been for about two years... "But this can't be!" Yugi whispered between tears. Closer to the end of the file, Yugi found what Grandpa had left him... suddenly his eyes got WIDE despite his tears. "He left HOW MUCH!? Where'd he get that much!?" Yugi had seldom seen that much money in one place. /How could I have even accepted that money and used it to buy stuff!? That isn't like me, is it? What is this terrible place that I have found myself at? How could all this be? Things were never like this, and there were never signs of this kind of stuff ever happening! /
Yugi heaved the file back into the cabinet and shut the drawer. He had seen enough. Yugi stood up and walked to the door and stepped out of the room. Outside of the room were... lots more doors. Yugi didn't bother going into any of the rooms, although he planned to do so later. He walked down to the end of the hallway and found that he was looking into a sort of living room- type place. He went inside and opened the main door that appeared to lead to the outside.
Outside was... also big. It was a big flower garden with singing birds and fountains and pools of koi and miniature waterfalls... But Yugi would not let himself enjoy it. After all, he had never known himself to be so materialistic. Tall, iron gates were the only things between Yugi and the outside world, but Yugi did not leave and was not eager to. He did not want to see what happened to everyone else when his own, small life had already changed so much. Instead, he sat on a white bench to think and wait for Yami.
________________________________________________________________________
That was depressing... and it was short, too, but well, Yugi's day isn't supposed to have very much happening yet. Well, the next chapters will be quite... torturous... so you people will probably enjoy them. By 'koi' I mean fish... All right, I think that's it! Feedback helps me write better.
