Chapter Two: Message from Mice

If you are lost in your way

Deep in an awesome story

Don't be in doubt and stray

Cling to your lonesome folly

Yugi didn't bother telling anyone about the dark shapes he saw. No one seemed to care. Yami was busy playing with the kitten that he had found. Yugi sighed. Such a simple-minded person. And to think...he used to be a pharaoh. None of Yami's joy was rubbing off on Yugi. And unfortunately, most of Yugi's depression was rubbing off on Yami.

"Why don't you write to them...or call them or something?" Yami suggested as his kitten friend crawled onto his shoulder and tried to catch the yellow lightning bolts called hair.

Yugi said nothing. He pulled on his coat and went next door.

"Oh...you're Yugi aren't you? I've heard so much about you." Ms Spink said, bright and cheery.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" Ms Forcible asked, pouring some honey-colored tea into a white teacup.

"Thank you." Yugi said quietly, sitting silently as the two talked of their days in theater.

Time slowly passed as Yugi sipped his tea. He stared at the tea leaves for maybe five minutes. Ms Spink noticed.

"Would you like me to read the tea leaves dear?"

"Hu?"

"Read your fortune in the tea leaves."

"Oh...sure."

Spink carefully took the cup and removed her glasses. She peered into the cup and pursed her lips. Her eyes widened slightly and she looked up at Yugi.

"Oh dear."

"What does it say?"

"It says that you are in terrible danger."

"Nonsense Spink, Let me take a look at it." Forcible slowly took the cup and looked. She too came up with the same conclusion.

"Does it say from what?" Yugi asked.

"No. Tea leaves are general."

Forcible rummaged through her purse and pulled out a smooth amber-colored stone with a hole the size of a dime going straight through it.

"This will help. They're normally for good or for bad, but it can help. Keep it with you at all times."

Yugi was polite enough to thank them and walked home, carrying the new stone in his pocket. Someone called to him. Yugi looked up to see the crazy old man in the attic staring at him from the window.

"Yugi! The mice are nervous. They won't play their instruments."

"Why?" Yugi asked, playing along.

"They say that they have a message for you."

"What is it?"

"They say 'Don't go through the door'. Does that mean anything to you?"

"Not as of yet."

Yugi had a sick feeling in his stomach. A stone, danger, and the door. It was all very complex. Yami's kitten friend was watching him as he entered the house. Yami was sitting at the computer, e-mailing his friends back in Domino.

"I'm bored." Yugi whined.

"Go and draw." Yami said, not looking away but managing to hand his hikari a piece of paper and a pen.

After ten minutes of staring blankly at the paper, Yugi only had written

M T

S

I

In the corner of the paper.

That was that. He left it sitting on the floor.

That night, Yugi dreamed of the shapeless black things with red eyes and yellow teeth and claws. They all gathered, all around him. They began to sing in their whispery and hissing voices.

We are small but we are many

We are many we are small

We were here before you rose

We will be here when you fall
