Can the Future Be Changed?

Chapter One: The Nightmare Begins

A boy with blond bangs and red and black hair tossed in his sleep. Sweat blanketed his white face. A golden triangle hung on a bedpost. It glowed a dark bloody red.

{Dream}

A figure ran as fast he could. The clock tower bell sang, and time seemed to slow...

"BOOONG!"

"BOOOONG!"

"BOOOOONG!"

"BOOOOOONG!"

"BOOOOOOONG!!"

"BOOOOOOOONG!!!"

As the last bell cry sounded, an ear piecing sound rang through the afternoon air. It was followed by a cry of pure pain and agony rang out. The figure stopped dead in his tracks when he saw another figure.

"NNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

The figure lay on the ground before the other soaked in dark blood. It poured out of the body from a wound in the chest. The first figure brushed past others and toward the blood. He hugged the bloody mess and cried its eyes out, screaming in shock and surprise.

{End Dream}

The boy awoke with tears in his lavender eyes. He shook with fear.

"T-that d-dream…was s-so real…" he managed to stutter.

'I wish Yami was here to tell me it is okay….' The boy thought. 'But he's not. Nor are any of my friends anymore. They are all gone and don't even pay attention to me anymore. Yami, Joey, Tristan, and Tea don't even know I'm alive!'

He cried even more and shook with each thought.

'Grandpa is gone too…a another dig.'

The boy cried himself to sleep, wondering why no one ever was home or why his guardian spirit, Yami, had spent more and more time with his friends than him until he didn't at all.

[Memory]

"Hey Yug'!" said Joey that morning.

"Hi Joey! Are you still ready for our duel after school?" Yugi asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry Yug'...I forgot…I…Um…I made other plans with Tristan. Is that okay?"

Yugi's heart fell a little, but he was still okay, a bit.

"Y-yeah it's fine Joey." Yugi lied. "I'll just do something with Tea instead."

"Kay Bye thanks for understanding Yug'!" Joey ran off to class.

Yugi got to class and saw Tea.

"Hi Tea!" he chirped happily. "Are you doing anything after school today?"

"Oh hello Yugi! I'm sorry…I'm going to the mall with my Mom to… to uh buy some more clothes today."

"O-Okay…" Yugi frowned and then smiled again," Have fun!"

Yugi proceeded to ask Yami as the class bell rang and he sat in his desk.

/Yami?/

//Hmm? What is it aibou?//

/Do want to play after school?/

//Sorry Yugi, I am going to spend the night at Joey's house with Tristan.//

Things only had gotten worse from then on. Yugi's friends stopped talking to him, they didn't call him ever, Yami stayed at Joey's house more and more, and Grandpa went off to digs and conventions, leaving Yugi alone. To cry and only get beaten up by bullies.
