I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh

Ms. Mouto walked threw the orphanage looking for a good child. She looked over in a corner and saw a small boy, looking to be abought two, playing a game of chess with a much older boy. The younger child moved his knight and took out his opponents king. He didn't speak, mearly smiled kindly at his opponent. The smile was not returned, instead his opponent walked away angrily. Ms. Mouto walked over to see him. "Hi there, what's you name?" She asked.

"There's no need to ask, he's five but he was born two months premature and can't talk that well. His name's Yugi." One of the workers at the orphanage said.

"Poor thing, I'll adopt him." Ms. Mouto said turning to the worker. He nodded and gave her an adoption sheet, she filled it out and went over to Yugi. "Come along, Yugi, you're coming home with me." Yugi nodded as she picked him up, he waved goodbye to a five-year-old white haired boy and laid as head on his new mother's shoulder. A year after his adoption Yugi's mother died of a strange illness leaving him in his grandfather's care.

*****Ten years after the adoption*****

Yugi, Joey, Tea, Triston, and Ryou walked down the street happily. The were on there way to the arcade. "Do you guys get the feeling we're being watched?" Joey asked, Tea looked down and found the culprit.

"We are being watched Joey, by a kitten." Tea said picking up a little black kitten.

"Very funny Tea, you never know when someone could be out to get you." Joey said pouting.

"We're here." Triston said to prevent the argument. Tea put the cat down and they all went inside. A sudden hush came over the arcade.

"Isn't that Yugi Mouto, the king of games?" A boy asked his older brother.

"I think so, no one can beat him." The boy's brother replied.

"I've heard rumors that he's been beating older, more experienced, players at every strategy game you can think of since he was an infant." Another guy said, the crowd parted to let him threw to the hardest game, the prize for winning was ten-thousand-dollars in yin. Yugi stepped up and put in a token, then the game started. In exactly one hour, five minutes, forty-five seconds Yugi won the game and got the prize. The others had been playing other games so they decided to go home then. Yugi happily walked into the game shop and handed his grandfather the money.

"Yugi, I'm glad your home, new stocks just came in, can you grab the scissors from the kitchen draw?" His grandfather asked.

"Sure grampa, be right back." Yugi said and hurried upstairs. He opened the draw the scissors were usually in but they weren't there now, so he opened the next draw and saw them, but he also saw something under them. He grabbed both things and walked back down stares. "Grampa, what's this?" He asked showing his grandfather the paper he had found.

"Don't worry abought it Yugi, it's nothing." His grandfather said taking the scissors and the paper, but Yugi knew better and gave him a suspicious look. "Okey, you weren't born in this family, you were adopted when you five."

"What? Grampa why didn't you tell me?" Yugi asked holding back tears.

"Because your birth father is still alive, I was afraid you'd go try to find him." His grampa replied putting his hand on Yugi's shoulder. Yugi ignored that and ran upstairs to his room, locking his door behind him.

"I wouldn't have left if you hadn't kept it a secret, now I'm going to find my father." Yugi whispered to himself. He packed some food and water, then grabbed his deck and looked threw it. He got out a few cards then put the other cards on his dresser and climbed out the window, he jumped to the tree branch next to his window and climbed down the tree. "Good bye, Mr. Mouto."

*****The next morning*****

Joey, Triston, Tea, and Ryou walked in to get Yugi. It was Saturday so they were all going to the park. "Hello Mr. Mouto, is Yugi ready yet?" Ryou asked.

"I'm not sure, I haven't seen him yet today. He's mad at me for keeping a secret from him." Mr. Mouto replied.

"I'll go check on him." Ryou said, he walked upstairs. In a few seconds he ran back down. "Yugi's gone."

*****In the woods somewhere by the ocean*****

"Are you sure abought this Yugi? Your father may not even be alive anymore." Yami said as Yugi looked threw the cards he had brought.

"I'm sure." Yugi said summoning the Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1. It looked at him then leaned down allowing him to climb onto it's back. The three (Yugi, Yami, and Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1) flew off.
