Note: Again, I don't own YGO but I own this character. By the way, this is
starting from Yugi's perspective.
Grandpa: Yugi, can you come here? I have something that I need to talk to you about.
I walked over and sat down on out small couch, facing him in the chair across from me. I wondered what was so important. He looked like he was disappointed in himself, why I don't know. Gramps seemed to be distracted lately, like he was waiting for something. He was very eager to check the mail each day. Ever since I got home from Duelist Kingdom, I had found him been like this. I figured that he was probably still shocked from having his soul sealed in the Shadow Realm. But maybe it was something more.
"Yugi, ever since I was in that.. coma, I've been thinking about what's really important in life. I have you, my shop. But there was still one thing that weighed heavy in my mind." He looks down. I know now that this concerns more than him or me. I ask him, "What is it Grandpa? You can tell me."
He takes a deep breath, swallows, then sighs, as if preparing himself for a blow to either himself or me. "There was something I never told you about your life that I need to tell you about now. See, you were your parents' firstborn child. But you weren't alone. See, you had a... twin sister." Here he sinks his head down to his knees.
I was shocked. A sister? Me? I had no idea, ever. It was like everything fell down around me. But I had to know more. "What do you mean? What happened?"
"See, your parents couldn't afford to keep both of you. They knew that it would only hurt both of you if they were to keep you two together. They gave her up for adoption. That's all I've known until now." Here he takes out a letter from his pocket from the adoption services. He gives it to me to look at. It reads:
Dear Mr. Moto,
We are very pleased with your recent inquiry about the location of your granddaughter. We have tracked her down to the most recent address of her adoptive parent. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
There is an address, not even two miles away from here. It doesn't give specifics or any details about her life, just where she was adopted to. I look up, only to hear Grandpa say, "Yugi, I am so sorry I kept this from you. Now I know that it wasn't right. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, Grandpa. There's nothing to forgive. Now that we have her address, we can go see her, right?" I said hopefully. There was something, some kind of optimism I gained when I saw where she lived. I knew instantly that I wanted to meet her, get to know her. "Yugi, I don't know if I can."
Suddenly, I look straight at him. He looked the exact opposite of the way I felt. He looked saddened, depressed, almost like he had given up. I try to be helpful. "Do you want me to go by myself first, meet her and then you can? Maybe then things won't be so awkward." Gramps looked up. "Thank you, Yugi."
The next day at school, all I could think about was her. We had never even met before in our lives yet we had the same parents. It was distracting me, wondering about who she was, how she had been, and just everything about her. Eventually, this caught the eye of Joey.
"Yugi, what's up with you today? You've been so quiet," he says while we wait for our teacher to arrive. I'm not sure of what to say. So as always, I speak the truth of what is on my mind.
"Well, Gramps gave me some serious news last night. It turns out that I have a..." I almost choked saying it. Why I couldn't say it was beyond me. Yet I just let the word escape from my mouth."..sister." The look that Joey, Tristan and Anzu were giving me was the same look that I gave Grandpa last night. Confused, wondering what to do next. There was a long period of silence until Tristan spoke.
"So what are you going to do? Are you going to try to find her?"
"Gramps already checked on that. We have an address. I'm going to go visit there tomorrow. It's less than two miles away from the shop."
"Man, Yug. I hope that things work out for you. Chances are they will. What's the address?" Joey asked. I handed the sheet of paper to him.
"Uhh... Yug. The place that your sister lives at is the old, creepy house down the street. You know. The one that kids always stare at, then run away from."
"I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. And wish me luck for tomorrow. I just hope that she's.." my voice trailed off again. I didn't know what to hope for exactly. But they all knew what I meant.
"It's going to be okay, Yugi," Anzu said.
"With you all the way," Tristan added.
"No matter what," Joey said through one of his beautiful smiles. That always cheered me up instantly, to see Joey smile. Now I couldn't wait...
The next day, I got up at around eight and left at nine. It was relatively early to be out on a Saturday. I felt nauseated. I just wanted to see her more than anything. I knew that if I could just look her in the face that everything else would be okay. I get there and I stand in front of the door. Joey was right. It was sort of spooky. I tried to bring myself to knock on the door several times but to no avail. Then I remember the words of encouragement of my friends and I knock. What happened next shocked me. The door opened, to reveal Kat, a girl from school that I talked to sometimes.
"Hey, Yugi. What are you doing here?"
Please R& R. Thanks.
