Yugi walked out of the taxi cab in the roads of Las Vegas. He couldn't believe he did it, he finally ran away from Yami. Now he can start a new life and try to clear his head away from the dark and consider to enjoy himself.

He looked around and saw a piece of paper float by in the wind. He caught it and looked at it. It was an adertisement to a new club with a kareoke bar. He smiled, "I guess I could go."

He took a stroll through the streets, then caught the sight of a long line of people walking into a club called Golden Gem Club. He jumped in line and walked in the line as well, able to pass the bouncer without being seen with his wild hair.

He tried to manuver through the crowd deeper into the room. Then a danceable rhythm met his ears, followed by a first saprano voice.

~*~Another day all alone again. Someone please love me. Another game; another broken heart

Why do I do this to myself. If I could look can try to find someone That won't leave me lonely

But then I found I didn't need to search Cause You were the one and You carried me~*~

He remembered that the club had a Kareoke bar, so mainly someone was singing besides the owner of the song. He looked through the crowd and saw someone on the stage.

~*~You fought for my heart and You have won it.You're taking me over and I like that

I tried other love but couldn't feel it.I'm so glad You found me because~*~

He saw her long shoulder length brown wave through the danceable beat as her chocolate brown eyes looked through the audience and making the crowd tap their foot or clap to the beat. Her slender body tightened with tan pants with a black spaghetti strap tank. Wearing sandles to top the look, she wore a bright smile through her face.

~*~I need You so close to me (Cause You're the)Only one that makes my life complete(And Lord I)Know it took so long to see that You're my security You won't go away from me(And now I) Know that I don't ever have to worry Cause my heart feels so very free You're my security~*~

The girl turned to Yugi and stared for a moment before continuing her song. He then noticed she was eyeing him. He got nervous, what if she finds out that he wasn't acutally invited to this club!?

~*~You are my security (There's no denying) You are my security~*~

Yugi panicked, but then noticed the sweet smile on the females face. He then noticed that she was staring at him even more than ever.

~*~Another day; here I go again Drive myself insane Stop to think; how could I forget You're with me every single day (Now I look)~*~

She took the chance to wink at Yugi before continuing.

~*~And I see the One. The only one for me. Cause I don't need to search for .A way to try to be more I have found a love that's so secure~*~

Yugi blushed, then someone nudged him, "She's digging you kid!" Then Yugi blushed further.

~*~You fought for my heart and You have won it You're taking me over and I like that I tried other love but couldn't feel it I'm so glad You found me because Other relationships confuse me The thought of Your simple love is crazy You make me feel like no one has before~*~

Yugi relaxed and listened to the girl's voice, her flowing melody soothed him even to a fast moving song.

~*~I need You so close to me (Cause You're the)Only one that makes my life complete(And Lord I)Know it took so long to see that You're my security You won't go away from me(And now I) Know that I don't ever have to worry Cause my heart feels so very free You're my security~*~

Yugi watched her turn around then turn her head to face the audience, her bright smile kept her going.

~*~I need You so close to me (Cause You're the)Only one that makes my life complete(And Lord I)Know it took so long to see that You're my security You won't go away from me(And now I) Know that I don't ever have to worry Cause my heart feels so very free You're my security~*~

The crowd either tapped their feet, snapped their fingers or clapped, sending encouragement to the girl and giving her even more confidence.

~*~I need You so close to me (Cause You're the)Only one that makes my life complete(And Lord I)Know it took so long to see that You're my security You won't go away from me(And now I) Know that I don't ever have to worry Cause my heart feels so very free You're my security~*~

She took a pause to wink at Yugi again before finnishing the song.

~*~I need You so close to me (Cause You're the)Only one that makes my life complete(And Lord I)Know it took so long to see that You're my security You won't go away from me(And now I) Know that I don't ever have to worry Cause my heart feels so very free You're my security~*~

Everyone cheered and clapped when she finnished her song with a turn around and a bow. She blew a kiss to the audience and disappeared back in stage. Yugi sighed, that might be the last time he saw someone so nice to him. He slowly strided to the bar and took a seat. The bartender looked at him, "What will it be?"

"Something strong." Yugi replied. The bartender shrugged and gave him a Bloody Mary. Yugi took a long sip of the murky substance before putting it down. He sighed and and putted his head down, wanting to go to sleep until a sweet voice inturputed him.

"Did you like my song?"

Yugi lifted his head and saw the same girl smiling brightly at him. Yugi smiled back weakly, but putted his head back down on the table. The girl blinked in confussion and sat down next to Yugi.

"What will it be, sweetheart?" The bartender asked boredly. The girl turned to him and whispered, "I'll take a Strawberry Dauquri Wine cooler." The bartender placed a wine cooler and a glass next to her and walked to serve other customers. She poured some of her beverage in the glass and took a quick sip before muttering, "So what's got the sun on your brow?"

"Pardon?" Yugi asked looking up. The girl chuckled and replied, "It's another way of saying What's wrong. So what is wrong with you......errr.."

"Yugi, my name is Yugi." Yugi said leaning on the chair. She smiled, "That's a cute name. Japanese aren't you? When did you decide to come to Vegas?"

"Just this week. I had to leave Japan and leave my misery behind." Yugi said taking another sip, then adding, "And leaving my love behind as well."

"Oh." The girl said with a hint of disappointment in her voice, "I thought you were single."

Yugi blushed slightly, "Sorry, but I am kinda taken."

"Kinda? What do you mean _kinda_?" She asked blinking. Yugi looked around, "Do you have some place where we can talk this privately?"

The girl looked around, "Yeah, follow me."

They both finnished their drinks and went backstage and went through various rooms until they made it into a private lobby room with black leather seats (*rolls eyes* Yeah I _had_ to put that) They both sat down on the couch and the girl looked at him in curiousity and wonder. Yugi sighed and said, "This is the first time I ever told this to anyone."

"Take your time, I've got the time of the world." she said with gentleness in her voice placing her hand on his shoulder. Yugi felt comfortable with her and nodded, "Thanks."

"No prob', Yugi." she said with a wink. Yugi took a minute of breaths before muttering, "My love abused me...everyone hated me and always wanted to be with him instead of me.....so I had to leave him so he can see how much I mean to him than just dirt."

The girl stared, "Him?"

Yugi paled, "Are you-"

"No, I'm not offended, I'm just surprised that you swung that way. Please excuse my rudeness. So do you have anywhere to go? I mean, I'll be more than happy to share my appartment with you. I have two other room mates.....who are that way as well."

"Really?" Yugi blinked in surprise, she nodded, "Yeah, by the way, my name's Sydney Simmons. It's an honor to meet you, Yugi."

Yugi smiled, "It's an honor to meet you as well." He smiled brighter, he now found a friend who will stay with him for a lifetime.

~*~ Sooooooooooooooooo sorry that I had to make a hint of mary sue there, but I PROMISE that there will be NO Mary-sues I swear!! Besides, Sydney is staying as a friend, not girl friend, FRIEND!!!

Anyways, R/R anyone? ^_^;;
