Wishing Dreams Were Reality
Chapter 1: The Kidnapping!
This fanfic is about a dream I had one night, but I was woken up in the middle of it, so even I don't know how it ends. I had the dream from my point of view but I decided to write the story in different points of view just to give a change of pace(and because I feel like it! ^.^).
**********Yami's POV***********
Yugi's grandpa died of a heart attack about three months ago. Ever since his death, life has definitely changed for the worst. Although Grandpa had left Yugi everything he owned including the Game Shop, we soon realized that we needed more money because the profits from the sales there weren't enough to pay the bills.
After the first month, I dropped out of school and took on as many jobs as I could find to pay the bills and support Yugi. I soon found out it wasn't easy. These newly acquired jobs required all of my time and effort and my boss didn't care if I was having a bad day, it was still my job to be nice to the customers, regardless of my current lifestyle.
It was exhausting and sometimes I wanted to quit, but then I thought of Yugi, my little angel, and went back to my task, even more determined to finish it. Yugi also opens up the Game Shop a few times a week, 'in Grandpa's memory' he always says, but I think there's something more to it than that.
I think he feels bad that I had to drop out of school to support us and he wants to help. I warn him that if his grades slip, then I won't allow him to open Game Shop anymore. It seems kinda harsh, but he has to finish school and get out of this town. He deserves better than what I can give him on these minimum wage jobs.
Lately when I see Yugi, he's been acting rather strange; I don't think he's fully recovered from Grandpa's death and I don't think my threat helped much either. Although it's been three months since his grandfather's death, Yugi still has the right to grieve for him. After all, he was the only family Yugi had after his good-for-nothing parents dropped him on the Game Shop doorstep. No 'I love you', no goodbye. They just abandoned him. I think the fact that I work almost all the time now and never get a chance to see him except when he's sleeping, is also having a large impact on his temperament. I miss seeing him as often as I used to, but it can't be helped.
~~~~~~~~~Yugi's POV~~~~~~~~~
It was a beautiful spring day as I said 'goodbye' to my friends and skipped home. Nothing could ruin my good mood! The gentle breeze teased my bangs until they stuck up almost as straight as my spikes, but I just chuckled and smoothed them back down.
As I stopped in front of the Game Shop door, I was proven wrong. My grin faded as I realized that Yami wasn't home, since the building was dark and his car was gone. Sure enough, there was a note stuck in the door that verified my suspicions. I ripped the note off the door and crumpled it into a ball. I gritted my teeth as I tried to calm down. For the past month, Yami had seemed to be keeping his distance by applying all his time and effort to his many jobs.
I haven't seen him for about a couple weeks, but I think he comes home while I'm sleeping. I used to wait up for him, but now he comes in too late and I end up falling asleep while on watch.
Lately when I see him, even when it's only a passing glance, I noticed he never smiles anymore; a permanent frown is plastered on his face while his eyebrows are always furrowed because he's always concentrating on his jobs. In only two months, his face has been aged greatly by stress and sometimes, if he's had a bad day, I barely recognize him. Whenever he catches me staring at him, his face softens for that brief moment; until I turn away that is, then his mouth returns to the frown that has become his unofficial trademark.
I unlocked the door and drew it shut behind me. Things have changed so much since Grandpa's death, and I still can't even think his name without finding that my eyes have betrayed my feelings to anyone around me by letting tears flow freely from them.
I dropped down on the living room couch and dropped my bag beside me. I took out a book that my english teacher gave me for homework, but my heart just wasn't in it. The words seemed to swim in front of my eyes and I found I wasn't comprehending a single thing, even after reading the same phrase or sentence multiple times in a row.
I threw my book aside and headed into the Game Shop. I make a quick check around making sure that everything is neatly stocked before turning the sign of the door to read "Open". That done, I sit on a stool behind the counter, leaning my head on the glass. After 30 minutes, I became tired and this time when I hid my head in the crook of my arm, instantly falling asleep.
2 hours later (6:00PM)
"Hello? Is anyone here?" a shrill woman's voice questioned.
I groaned in my sleep and stirred. A woman in a business suit carrying a small tan briefcase appeared at the counter.
"Are you Yugi Motou?" the woman demanded. I rubbed my eyes, still not fully awake.
"Yeah," I replied lazily, trying to stifle a yawn.
"I am here to take you away," the woman informed me. "You will come with me now."
"Excuse me?" I shouted. "I'm not going anywhere! This is my home."
"I have government authorization to remove you from the premises immediately." the woman told me, while reaching for my arm. I fled for my room, but she caught my leg and I fell to the ground, bumping my head on the floor.
/Yami!/ I screamed before I fell into complete darkness.
