Chapter Five - A Forgotton Past

Yugi took in a shakey breath as his eyes teared up. "Mom..." He breathed out, voices suddenly invading his mind.

"Yugi, calm down a bit will you?" "Oh leave him alone, he's not doing any harm." "Ya mommy!"

Yugi shut his eyes as the voices faded away. Those voices, the first was Jirito, and he guessed the last one was his, then that meant the other was his mothers. He looked and noticed something else on the floor, and picked it up.

It was a front page of a newspaper. Looking at it he saw a picture of a car, being pulled out of a river. Yugi's eyes suddenly grew wide as his mind began racing.

A sound of skiding, accompanied by screaming. Yugi saw one person at the front seat of a car and another beside him, two adults, but he couldn't see them fully, there was a sound of a crash and then darkness...

In a panick, he quickly skimmed over the story that came with the picture and his eyes grew wide as it confirmed his suspicions. He had been in that car crash, and so had his parents!

He began to read again.

'The car had sped out of the way of a drunken driver, over a ditch and into a river. The family were rescued and brought to hospital, where it was discovered the Sarah Mouto had not been wearing her seatbelt and was seated at the back seat of the car. She had been through forward by the force of the crash and through the front windscreen. Jirito Mouto and Yugi Mouto, aged 4, miraculously survived with no serious injuries, but Sarah Mouto was proclaimed dead at 02:43' on Saturday morning.

Yugi felt tears brimming in his eyes as he finished reading, gripping the page tightly in his shaking hands. "No...this isn't real..." He said in a shakey voice.

"Unfortunately, it is."

Yugi jumped and looked back to see Jirito in the doorway, glaring at Yugi with hateful eyes. "And it's all your fault she died!" He yelled angrily, and Yugi was shocked to see tears in his eyes.

"Wh-what do you mean?" Yugi said, his voice still shaky for fear of his answer.

Jirito growled with anger, but slowly began to explain what had happened.

-----------

"Awe we dere yet?"

"No."

"Awe we dere yet?"

"No."

"...Awe we dere now?"

"No!"

"Jirito, take it easy, he's only four years old." Sarah Mouto said, glaring over at her husband who was driving the car. She smiled back at her son, who was sitting in the back seat, and he smiled back, before retreating to playing with some action figures.

"I just wish he stop asking questions..." Jirito mumbled and Sarah smiled.

"It's a phase they go through. Just be glad he doesn't use the word 'why' or you'd have gone insane a long time ago." She said, but jumped as she heard Yugi yell behind her. "Whats the matter?" She asked, turning to see Yugi sucking his thumb. Confused, se reached back and pulled his hand away from his mouth, only to see a cut on his finger. "what happened.

Yugi looked up at her with watery eyes and pointed accusingly at an old action figure. The plastic sword it held was snaped in half, and had been for a long while, so he must had cut himself off that. Taking off her seatbelt, she got Jirito to stop the car so she could go back.

After a few minutse, they were back on the road and Sarah had put a plaster on Yugi's finger. "Tank 'ou mommy!" Yugi said happily, opening out his arms to signal he wanted a hug, which he recieved. Soon, Sarah and Yugi were playing with the toys again.

Jirito glanced back and smiled. Sarah was one in a million, and even though he loved his son, nothing to replaced the love he had for his wife. He looked back at the road to see a strange sight. A car was going from one side of the road to another. Suddenly, it charged forward at his side of the road. He had to time to sop or think, he just turned the wheel and skidded off the side of the road, over a ditch, and soon he was lost in water and darkness.

-----------

"If you hadn't started crying because you hurt yourself while playing with one of those stupid toys, she wouldn't have gone back to you to make sure you were ok." Jirito yelled anrgily. He reached into his trench coat and pulled out a shining dagger. "And now...I will honour her life, by destroying yours!"

Yugi froze with fear. Jirito had lost it! All these years of dealing with death alone had caused him to crack. And now, Yugi was going to pay the price, with his own blood and suffering.

Yami stopped at a skid infront of the prison-like house. At first, he thought he must have made a mistake, but Yugi's magic was coming from within, he knew his friend was here. He took a deep breath and ran forward, into the flat yard. Suddenly, a black blur can out of no were, and before he knew it, he was down on his back, eyes shut tight in pain, as the dog latched it's jaw around his forearm.

The dog growled and tossed it's head to the side visciously, causing Yami to yelped slightly in pain as he felt the dogs teeth begin to rip through his skin. He tried kicing the dog, but that just made it mader, causing it to swing it's head from side to side repeatedly.

A flash of red appeared in Yami's eyes for a second, before he fired a blast of magic into the dogs stomach, causing it to yelp and let go, before being sent flying through the air, landing on it's back a few metres away. Yami sat up and held his arm, try to relieve himself of some pain by putting pressure on it. He stood up and wobbled slightly, before heading towards the door. He heard a growl and looked back to see the dog was back on his feet and staring straight at him. All decisions made within a second, Yami was running towards the house with the dog running after him.

He felt the dog at his heel, and aimlessly shot a blast of magic back. It seemed to work, the dog fell behind a little. He ran as fast as he could, and once he became close to the door, used a burst of strength reach it and opened it, shutting it behind him. Before it could close, though, the dogs head kept it open slightly, trying to get in. Yami pushed on the door, but the dog was surprisingly strong. Another push, the dog retreated, and Yami heard the door click shut.

He stood still in the silence for a minute, listening for the dog, but all he heard was a soft growl and the dogs paws padding from side-to-side outside the door. He sighed and turned to look around. It was a rather dull house, no life in it. But he could sense the magic coming from Yugi, and his connection with Yugi was stronger then it had been since he began his search. He walked forward, the sound of his fottsteps dulled by the layer of dust covering it. Slowly, cautiously, he climbed the stairs, the magic bond forever growing stronger.

When he reached the top of the stairs he stood in silence, listening for any sound of movement. it came to him as a shock when a loud bang echoed and he jumped as he realised Yugi had been thrown into the wall across from the door farther down. He quickly ran towards him, and fell to his knees next to him, his eyes growing wide.

Yugi had his eyes shut tight, tears brimming in them, and his hand on his side. Yami put his hand over Yugi's, but suddenly removed it as he felt something. Looking at his own hand, he saw it was covered in a liquid...Yugi's blood...
