Author: My first Yugi tragedy/angst story!
Yugi: Aww, I thought you thought I was cute.
Author: *hugs Yugi* I do. But you aren't in enough stories and you never get hurt.
Yugi: *sigh* I guess I better get tortured. At least there isn't a torture line.
*Behind Yugi a bunch of people waiting to be tortured*

~The Accident~
"Grandpa, are you sure you don't want to come?" a ten-year-old Yugi asked his grandpa. Solomon just laughed and shook his head. "Come on, Yugi," his twin brother, (that looked nothing like Yugi but had the same eyes) Kermai (I suck at Japanese names) called to him. Yugi's older sister, Arimist, was already in the car, listening to her walkman.
Yugi climbed in and threw one last look at his grandpa waving on the porch. Yugi's mom, a pretty woman with light purple hair climbed in the drivers' side and Yugi's dad, a man with gray eyes, climbed in the passenger side. Kermai whistled to Shanka, their Lassie dog, wagged her tail and jumped in.
Yugi and Kermai took out the portable chess and played several games on it. Arimist listened to her music. After awhile, when they were on the empty highway, when they were alone all except a trunk next to them, his father looked up and said, "Wow, that's a big truck." Arimist pulled the headphones out of her walkway and a song went blaring through the car:
"I'm driving a truck, driving a big ol' truck
Petal to the metal, hope I don't I run out of luck
Got eighteen wheels behind, until the break of dawn
Because I'm driving a truck with my high heels on!"
This was enough to make Yugi pull on his walkman and play:
"A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away,
Naboo, was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon-Jin
Could talk the federation in
To maybe, cutting them a little slack
Their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us"
(If you can guess whose songs these are, I'll give you a surprise)
Kermai started yodeling like a fiend, and Dad took out his wallet and banged it against his hand. The music poorly mixed, but it was great fun, all the same. No one noticed the truck wobbling dangerous beside them.
It seemed to happen in slow motion. At a particularly sharp turn, the truck beside them lost control. It tipped over, on the car. The second before it hit, Yugi did the more or less smartest thing to do. Yugi screamed flung open the door and ran out of the car. The truck smashed on to his parents and siblings.
A sharp piece of metal flew towards Yugi, and he ducked it. It hit his neck, and Yugi could feel the blood flowing freely from his wound. He sank to the ground and fainted.
~Some odd days later~
Yugi woke up, feeling sore and extremely stiff. He first saw blurred shapes and white, but then, as his vision cleared, he saw he was in a hospital. It took him a while before he realized why he was here. He lifted a stiff hand to his neck. He felt some kind of bandage.
A nurse entered the room, and quickly smiled when she saw he was awake. "How are you feeling?" she asked concernedly. Yugi asked truthfully- stiff and sore. The nurse walked over and said, "We can take these bandages off."
She worked carefully. When she was done, she said, "This scar will stay with you forever." The nurse fetched a mirror and Yugi looked inside. His neck had a thin line across it, very noticeable. He sighed and the nurse said, "Your grandfather will be here to pick you up shortly."
When his grandpa came, he took one look at Yugi and hugged him. "Let's get you home." Yugi looked blankly at his grandpa and replied dully, "I have no home." His grandpa gave a heavy sigh and gently whispered, "I know. But the Game Shop is where I live, and I'm afraid now where you live." Yugi loved the game shop, but this was different. Totally different.
As they left the hospital, passersby gaped at Yugi's scar. At the game shop, he ran upstairs and sat on what was his bed. He couldn't cry for, he was beyond grief. After an hour, his grandpa came in. He placed two items beside Yugi "I got these for you in Egypt," He gently stated, leaving Yugi's room.
Yugi unwrapped the smaller package. It was what looked like a dog collar, for humans. He put around his neck and gazed in the mirror. His reflection showed an unhappy boy who looked like he had just lost a twenty dollar bill, not a boy who had been through a tragedy. He smiled slightly and opened the other package.
It was a small box with a sphinx on the lid. He opened it and its contents landed on his bed. Several small golden pieces shone. Yugi smiled and began working.
