Birthday Wish

A few years had passed since the tragic/wonderful day happened. Kaya was rushing around trying to get ready for her watering job. She and Yugi ended up living in a slum part of Domino where many shootings and kidnappings happened which meant Yugi never left her sight.

"Mommy are you sure you can't go to preschool with me today? It's my first day!" Yugi pleaded, Kaya was very stressed and needed to get ready. She quickly dressed Yugi in the only clothes that looked decent enough clothes and brushed his tri-colored hair. Blonde bangs then black outlined with maroon. Yugi was what they called "a pretty child" he had none of Ryou's characteristics...he had Kaya's amethyst eye's and her hair. Yugi loved his mother very much...but he hardly ever got to see her.

"Yugi...honey I'm so sorry but mommy needs to try to get us some more money..." she said, she looked around the kitchen to find something to pack Yugi for a snack. But in their home...food was hard to come by...she sighed knowing that yet again Yugi would have to go hungry. She rinsed out an old bottle of pop and filled it with water and handed it to Yugi. It was her little boy's 3rd birthday and yet she couldn't afford to buy him a cake or even a toy.

"That's ok mommy! I'll be ok!" Yugi said, Kaya smiled at Yugi...he put the bottle away in his bag and looked up at Kaya who just got finished getting ready. She swept Yugi up into her arms and carried him down the block to the preschool; she took him inside and met the teacher. She introduced Kaya to the other parents but one mother in particular stuck out. She had a child that was similar to Yugi but his eyes were crimson, his hair was like Yugi's except his spikes were wilder than Yugi's. She seen Yugi had befriended the boy and his mother was also curious as to whom Yugi belonged to.

"Hi I'm Kaya..." she spoke up, the mother spun around and smiled and shook Kaya's hand.

"I'm Tangela!" the other mother said, Kaya smiled and finally had made a new friend. She hated to have to go to work but she really needed to make money, so with that she bid farewell to her new friend and left. Tangela continued to watch Yami and Yugi play...she couldn't believe how identical they looked. She seen Yugi go ask the teacher where the bathroom was so one of the assistants took Yugi away so he could go. Yami soon bounded over to Tangela.

"Mom what does it mean when your poor?" Yami asked, Tangela looked at him for a moment then answered.

"It means that you don't have any money...why do you ask?" Tangela asked, Yami had told her that he wanted to swap snacks with Yugi but Yugi had told him that his mommy and him were too poor to buy food sometimes.

"Y...Yami...why don't you go play...mommy is going to find Ms. Kaya...ok?" she said, she planted a kiss on Yami's forehead and walked out of the class and asked around the town until finally she found Kaya. She was working very hard scrubbing tables the best she could and serving. Tangela sat at the table and watched until Kaya came over. Maybe then Tangela would get some answers.

Meanwhile...

Yugi and Yami continued their playing, the were pretending that Yami was king of the castle and Yugi was the prince. Other kids played along too. All of a sudden the teacher summoned all of the children to the play mat. She smiled and held up a calendar.

"Okay kids...this is where were going to put your birthday's!" the teacher said, Yami sat next to Yugi one by one the kid's went up and put their birthday's on the calendar. Yugi went last and put his birthday up.

"Yugi your birthday is today?" Ms. Serenity asked, Yugi nodded and she smiled.

"Well we'll have to celebrate it won't we?" she said, Yugi nodded. The teacher brought out some cupcakes and found a candle and placed it on Yugi's.

"Make a wish!" Yami piped up, Yugi thought about his wish for a moment. It had to be a good one...then he thought really hard and finally thought of one. He inhaled and blew out the candle everyone clapped but Yugi kept a serious face...later on the kids had free-play Yami and Yugi were coloring. Yami was coloring a birthday card for Yugi.

"Hey Yugi what did you wish for?" Yami asked, Yugi smiled and looked at Yami.

"If I tell you it won't come true!" Yugi said, Yami giggled and went back to coloring. Yugi's teacher had packed his cupcake so he could take it home for his mom. Yugi thought to himself / I wish mommy and me could get a better house...and mommy would never have to work again/...Yugi then went back to coloring and thinking about his mom and what she was doing now...he really hoped his wish would come true...

Kaya: well this is chapter 1! Tangela I hope you like this!!! I thought it would be kind of cute! ^_^ Oh well R&R!
