"Part 1"
"The Find"
Yugi came home from school, put his backpack onto the table, and yelled, "I'm home!" He looked around and found his Grandpa in the living room with a little girl lying on their sofa. "Who is that?" Yugi asked, looking at the kid in his home. She could be no older than 6 or 7 years old. Her midnight black hair was in two braids with pink ribbons tying them in place. The mysterious girl had a smooth, pearly pink collar on. Her eyes were closed because she was asleep, so he couldn't see their color. She had a lot of smudges, cuts, and bruises all over her. Her baby pink colored sleeveless shirt had dirt all over it, and her short pink skirt was also dirty. Her white knee-high boots were decent, but were turning a muddy color.
"I found her stumbling down the street, and I invited her into the shop. She sat down in a chair, and started looking at cards. I left, and when I came back, she was asleep." Yugi's Grandpa answered as he shook his head. "Poor child, I wonder where her parents are?"
"Oh..." Yugi was unsure of what to say. Suddenly, his Millennium Puzzle began glowing, and Yami came out.
"Who is she?" Yami wanted to know, and Yugi told him. Yami stared at her for a long time, then said, "She seems familiar, and there is a strong energy force pulsing from her."
Yugi was confused, but he didn't have time to respond as Yami returned to the Puzzle. The mysterious girl stirred a bit, and slowly her eyes flickered open. "Where...where am I?" She asked. Her voice was like a feather, soft and light. Her eyes were shocking; they were a shade of black that seemed darker than her hair, if possible.
"You fell asleep in my shop," said Yugi's Grandpa.
"Oh I did? Oh, I'm so sorry," the unknown girl apologized, her voice getting weaker.
"Are you okay?" Yugi was worried, stranger or not, this little girl seemed frail and hurt.
She didn't answer as she started coughing.
"What's your name?" Yugi asked as his Grandpa left to get a cup of hot water.
"My...name?" The girl wrinkled her nose as she thought. "I'm not sure...Casina...?"
"You don't know your name?" Yugi was shocked, "anyway, my name is Yugi Muto." *Did I spell that right?*
"Nice to meet-" the girl who called herself Casina started coughing again before she could finish.
Yugi's Grandpa hurried back into the room with a cup of hot water. "Here, drink this." He said as he gave her the water.
"Thank you," Casina barely whispered as she struggled to sit up. She sipped a little water, then gulped the rest down. "I'm sorry, I should probably be going," she said as she tried to get up.
"Where are you heading?" Yugi's Grandpa asked.
"I don't know...anywhere I can find, I guess."
Yugi was surprised, "Where are your parents, little girl?"
"Parents? What?" Casina seemed confused and dazed. "Oh..." She suddenly dropped her cup, thank goodness it was just a plastic one. "Who are you? Who am I? What is happening?" Casina's eyes closed as she fell forward, and Yugi caught her.
He looked at his Grandpa, and they both knew what each other were thinking. "She will stay with us until we can find a relative of hers." Yugi's Grandpa decided. They both looked at the short, thin girl in Yugi's arms. He gently set her down on the sofa again, and covered her with a blanket.
