Chapter 6: Hidden secrets and memories
~~Yugi's P.O.V~~
Well, to tell you the truth, I didn't get any peace after gym class. Everyone was congratulating me on the game, making me popular in an instant. Once in a while, I'd catch my former friends' faces when I walked by. They all just had emotionless faces, including Yami. That's odd. Yami never ever hides his emotions around me.
School ended, and Kiari and I got a ride to our apartment in Seto's limo. "School was fun." said Kiari. I chuckle. "Even though Yami and I had a little run-in?" I asked. Kiari then started thinking. "Well, I'll just say I can see why you left them three years ago. The age- old question is why did they decide to ignore you in my book." I started looking out the window. That's what I would like to know. Why, Yami, my former friends, did you suddenly ignore me?
****Flashback 3 years ago****
Yugi arrived to school, happy and content. Yugi then saw Joey, Tristan, Tea, and Bakura over at the school steps. Yami then arrived a second later, coming out of the building. Everyone seemed to be talking to each other. Yugi ran up to them.
"Hey guys! Guess what, Grandpa has cool new Duel Monsters in store. Do you guys want to come over after school and see them?" he asked. No one answered. Everyone just kept right on talking, even Yami. "Hello? Guys?" said Yugi. No one even turned their head. Yugi had to shout really loud just to get their attention. "I asked you all if you want to come over to see new Duel Monster cards?" said Yugi gently, trying no to sound mad. "You interrupted the most important conversation for *that?*" squeaked Tea. Yugi looked a little hurt, but didn't show it. "I'm sorry if this sounds a little insensitive, but what was so important?" asked Yugi. Tristan scoffed.
"We *were* talking about what we should do for that big tournament coming up. You know, the new Duel Monsters tournament?" said Tristan. "Oh! Yeah that's right! We might need more powerful cards than the ones that we have right now. So do you guys want to stop at the Game Shop after school?" said Yugi, in a hopeful voice. "You already asked that Yugi, and our answer is no." said Joey. Yugi looked at little bit hurt. "You know, Yugi, you shouldn't try to get so much attention, that way no one gets ticked off at you." Tea snapped.
Now Yugi was crushed. He wasn't trying to get their attention on him, he just wanted to know if they wanted to see some new cards. Yugi looked at Yami, hoping he could do something. "I hate to say this, Yugi, but Tea may just have a point." he told Yugi. Yugi couldn't believe it. His Yami wouldn't stand up to him, just like he used to before he got his own body. Yugi felt tears coming down his eyes, and started running into the building before he let them fall.
Yugi kept on running, until he ran into someone. "Sorry." he muttered, looking up to see who he bumped into. It was Seto, with Serenity, Malik, and Marik behind him. Seto's cold look immediately disappeared when he saw Yugi. "What's wrong Yugi?" he asked gently. Serenity knelt down to meet Yugi's level. "Want to come with us to the classroom?" she asked. Yugi wiped away his tears and nodded.
"I see, so Tea and the others gave you another cold shoulder attitude. Oh Yugi." said Malik, looking at Yugi with pity. "It's bad enough that the Pharoah beat me, but now he's turning cold on his light!" growled Marik. Yugi sighed, then shook his head. He remembered that Marik still wasn't over Battle City. Seto looked at Yugi. "Do you want me to go talk to them?" he asked. "I can tell my brother. He may be a goofball, but he takes very seriously what I say." said Serenity.
"Marik and I can put some magic into our convincing." said Malik. Marik nodded. Yugi smiled at all of them, but shook his head. "Thank you guys, but I think I should fix this on my own." he replied. Everyone nodded, then patted Yugi on the back. ****flahsback end****
~~General P.O.V~~
"Yugi?" asked a feminine voice. Yugi shook out of his memory and looked at the direction of the voice. Kiari was tapping his shoulder gently. "We're home." she announced. Yugi nodded gently and the two stepped out of the limo. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to call." said Seto, with Serenity next to him, smiling at Kiari and Yugi. Kiari nodded. "We won't. We'll see you tomorrow!" she said. Seto and Serenity waved goodbye as they got into the limo and drove off.
Kiari and Yugi stepped into their apartment. "Well, what do you want to do? Since we're new, we don't have any homework." said Kiari. Yugi looked at her. "Well, I was hoping that we could go to the Game Shop I used to live at." Kiari nodded. "Okay! Where to?" she asked. Yugi smiled. Kiari always understood what Yugi needed, and that's one of her high qualities. "We'll walk there. It's not that far." he said. The two stepped out of their apartment again to head over to the Game Shop.
"So your grandpa owns the Game Shop?" asked Kiari. Yugi nodded. "Yeah, I would get really cool cards and he would give me the rarest cards for deck building." he replied. Kiari looked at the road ahead of her. "That's cool. You're lucky. My mom and dad just own a house." she said, chuckling. Yugi chuckled along with her. "Since we're here again, do you want to see your parents again?" asked Yugi. Kiari shook her head. "They're dead now. But I have a sister." she said abruptly. Yugi looked down at the ground.
"I'm sorry about your parents." he said. Kiari looked at Yugi. "It's okay. You didn't know." she said gently, so as not to hurt Yugi's feeling. Yugi smiled at her. "So do you want to see your sister?" he asked. "No." Kiari snapped. Yugi knew he must've struck a nerve with that question, and he could tell that Kiari didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't mention it anymore.
"Sorry." he quickly said. Kiari looked at Yugi with soft eyes. "It's okay." she replied. Yugi smiled at her, recieving another smile. "Look, we're here." he announced. Yugi took a long look at the Game Shop. It stayed the same, as if time stopped the minute Yugi left. Yugi sighed. 'I hope Grandpa is still alive' he thought. "Well, let's go inside!" said Kiari excitedly. Yugi laughed, and the two ran inside the shop.
The door swung open, the bell ringing as it did, and Yugi stepped inside. Even the inside didn't change. Kiari started looking around at the card displays and glass counters. Yugi peered inside the glass counter that held all the rare cards. Inside was Destiny Board (a/n Guys I don't know if the name is right, but I do know what the effect is and what the correct order is, so please, tell me if this is right, if not, whoops! Tell me what's the right name.) with the designated letters right next to it. "Kiari come here! These are the cards I told you about!" he said, pointing to Destiny Board and the letters.
"These cards are connected. If Destiny Board is on the field, along with the cards that have I,N,A,L in that order, you win the duel!" he explained. Kiari looked at the cards with awe. "How do you remember what the correct order is?" she asked. Yugi smiled. "It says on the trap card." he said. "And, another way you can remember is that the words spell out the last four words of the word 'Final'." said a rich and deep voice.
Yugi remembered that voice well. "Hi Yami." he hissed, looking up. Sure enough, it was Yami, behind the counter smirking. "Hi Yugi. I see you've brought your new friend into your old home." he said, glaring at Kiari. Kiari gave Yami an equally hard glare. "If you need to refer to me, why can't you speak my name, or is it too hard to pronounce on your tongue?" she asked. Yami glared at her. "Because maybe I don't want to say your name, since it's poison on my tongue." he growled. Kiari scoffed.
"Stop, you two." Yugi commanded. "I don't want another fight to break out like earlier today." Yugi then looked at Yami with hard eyes. "Yami, where is Grandpa?" he demanded. Yami looked at the counter. "Yugi, your grandpa is dead." he said. Yugi was shocked.
