Scene One In the Motou Residence
When the 'family' came back from their trip to Egypt, Yuugi lay sound asleep on the couch before him. Grandpa glanced down at his sleeping grandson. He felt great sympathy for the boy. He knew that his life wasn't easy to live...
--FLASHBACK--
It was a rainy day and the Mouto residence shook each time the thunder struck outside. The sky was grey and threatened a tornado at any given moment. Despite what the reports on TV said, Yuugi's parents insisted that they'd go to an important meeting, being the owners one of California's top companies . Yuugi's grandfather was called over to watch their son until they returned. Little did he know that they would not. Russell and Constance Mouto kissed their son of two years for the last time as they headed out the door. "Take good care of our little boy, father!" shouted Russell.
--END FLASHBACK--
That was the last time that he ever heard from his son. The police report showed that the couples brake line was cut on their car. To this day police never knew who the murderer was, but if he were to ever find out........ (clenches fist) 'Well, whoever they were robbed Yuugi of a mother and father, and me of a son and daughter-in-law.'
For 12 years Yuugi had been living with him. '12 years?' he thought. '...has it really been that long?'
Scene Two Domino High
The following day at school, Yuugi just nearly outran a group of bullies who were after his blood for some ludicrous reason. But Yuugi arrived at the conclusion that they seemed to prey on small kids such as himself. 'But being short does have it's advantages' he thought. 'I did escape after all....'
Yuugi leaned against the brick wall behind the school. He often went here to think... but more often to escape what he had left of a life.
He heard laughing behind him. 'Oh no! Please don't let it be them! .Please, please, please...' Thankfully it wasn't Yuugi's tormenters. It was his group of newly founded friends consisting of Tea Gardner, Tristian Taylor, and Joey Wheeler.
"Hi Yuugi!" Tea shouted joyfully. "What are you doing out here?".
"Yeah Yug, what are you doing out here? Someone giving you any trouble?" Joey questioned. Yuugi had to smile. His friends were always looking out for him, no matter what. Ever since he stood up for them in a brawl a month or two ago they've been...Well the only friends he ever had. "Yup. The usual." Yuugi frowned at what came out of his mouth. But as sad as it was, it was the truth.
After Yuugi's usual struggle in math Tea offered to walk him home. "No, I'll be fine." He said, smiling. Tea looked away, trying to hiede the worry in her eyes and he hated it. Even when they were trying to be nice. All he could do to reassure her was to say "Really! I'll be all right!" Tea sighed and let Yuugi be on his way. After all, what could she do?
Yuugi passed through the familiar streets that led to his home, the Game Shop. If you want to call it a home. Living above a cramped pawn shop wasn't his cup of tea. Crossing an alley he heard a faint snicker behind him. He spun around. Standing behind him was the group in the morning. Fear struck him like a bullet, where could he run? He desperately looked around for an exit, but there was none to be found. The leader stepped forward. His voice thick with a New Yorkish accent. "I think we have some unfinished business, kid. Ever since you ran away this morning we've been hutin' ya. Looks like you can't run away this time."
Yuugi threw his head back and laughed. "There is no apparent reason to run Ushi." Yuugi said, glancing around. "After all, do you really think your 'friends' will of any help when I'm through with them? Guess again."
"You know you've got a big mouth for such a short punk. But if you prefer to go down fighting...so be it. Get 'em boys!" His thugs rushed him, but he stood his ground. Kicking and punching like some crazed animal. When the fight subsided Yuugi didn't have a scratch on him. The same couldn't be said for his foes though. Two broken arms, a broken nose, and not to mention their spirits crushed, considering they got beat up by a 4 foot 8 inch pushover.
Scene Three Above the Game Shop/Yuugi's Room
"Yuugi! Yuugi!"
Yuugi tried to open his eyes, but felt drained of his energy. He struggled to move his eyelids, but they felt if someone was holdng them shut. The voices around him swirled....
"Yuugi Get up! This is Tea. This isn't funny kiddo. Now wake up!"
"Dammit! What happened to him?"
"What happened Yuug' ?"
"Let's get him to a hospital."
"Yuugi!"
Scene Four
Pegasus J. Crawford sat calmly at his chair sipping his red wine, thinking over his plans. They seemed flawless, unescapable.
"Croquet!" He called for his servant.
Silence.
"CROQUET!"
At his call, a man in a suit came rushing into his quarters. "Dear Croquet, is everything in order?"
" Yes, Master Pegasus. I traveled to Domino City as ordered, Sir ,and the package was delivered."
"Excellent....Excellent...Soon I will have Yuugi's Millennium Puzzle added to my collection. Isn't that right, Bakura?" A white-haired teenaged boy emerged from behind Croquet's back. His body thin. His eyes lifeless.
