Whispers in the Night
Tangela waited until Kaya got her break. Kaya had spotted Tangela and pulled out her pad and pencil and walked over.
"Can I help you?" Kaya asked, Tangela motioned for her to sit down. Kaya quickly went back and told the boss she was taking her brake and she sat back down at the table.
"Um...this maybe awkward but Yugi told Yami that your poor...is that true?" Tangela asked, Kaya swallowed what felt like a lump in her throat. She didn't want the other parents to know, but Yugi was just a little kid...he couldn't have known that.
"Promise to keep it a secret?" Kaya asked, Tangela crossed her heart and looked at Kaya. Kaya broke down and told her everything that had happened. About how her husband/boyfriend Ryou had been hit by a car...how he didn't have enough money to raise Yugi and how she struggled to make ends meet.
"Listen Kaya if you need the money..." Tangela said, but Kaya quickly said.
"No! I don't want charity I made him and carried him I'll raise him..." Kaya said, she started to cry. Tangela figured how much stress she must be under.
"It's not charity...it's a way of helping out a friend...plus I can lend you a hand and take Yugi to and from school while you go to work. He and Yami really seem to like one another so it will give them some playtime together." Tangela said, Kaya smiled and nodded. She really did need the help and Tangela seemed willing to give it.
"Your a good friend..." Kaya said, Tangela smiled and she sat in the cafe until Kaya got off her shift so they could go pick up their kids together.
At the Preschool
It was finger painting time. Yami had created a mess...instead of painting on the paper as he was instructed to do. He painted his face as well as; the teacher's seat, the walls, the chalkboard and anything else he could get his hands on. Yugi laughed...Yami was a very hyper little kid. The teachers all assumed it was because of the cupcakes and Capri-Sun that he got that way...so they cleaned Yami the best they could and sent the children outside for fee-play while they cleaned Yami's tornado of colors.
"Hey Yugi want to play tag?" Yami asked, Yugi looked at him curiously.
"What's tag?" Yugi asked, Yami explained "his" version of the game. It was for Yugi to chase him and as soon as Yugi got close enough to tag him he was to let Yami have a 10 second head start and that the monkey bars were home base. Yugi looked at Yami with a skeptical look but shrugged, who was he to question Yami he knew this game? (When I was 5 someone seriously pulled this stunt on me it took me until I was 7 to figure out he was lying).
"Ok go!" Yami yelled, Yugi then chased Yami around the playground...Yami was pretty quick but every time Yugi gave him his little head start he always caught him.
"Hey your pretty good!" Yami laughed, the teacher then blew the whistle that meant school was over. Yugi and Yami went to the kiddy cupboards and pulled out their book bags and shoved their drawings and paintings (well Yugi's anyway) into their bags. And waited outside. Kaya and Tangela appeared in front of the school, Yami ran full tilt and tackled Tangela almost knocking her over. But she had scooped the little one into her arms, she also spotted the red and blue paints still smeared on his forehead. Yugi ran up to Kaya and handed her the cupcake, Kaya smiled and picked Yugi up.
"Well we should get home before it gets dark! Later!" Kaya said, Tangela waved and took the rambunctious Yami home. Kaya and Yugi arrived at their little home...Kaya searched her pockets and pulled out the house key and unlocked the door letting her and Yugi inside. Yugi immediately ran into where he and Kaya slept and looked for the candles that Kaya kept in her bedroom. Kaya smiled and flopped onto the futon (the only thing they could afford) and sighed. Yugi came back and took the cupcake into the kitchen and put a candle on it and called Kaya in.
"Mommy can you come help me?" Yugi called, Kaya tiredly walked into the kitchen to find Yugi standing by the kitchen table with half a birthday candle on his cupcake.
"What's wrong Yugi?" Kaya asked, Yugi pointed up to the shelf in which Kaya kept the matches...she kept them up out of Yugi's reach so he wouldn't catch the house on fire. Although she must admit she wanted to set it on fire at times. She smiled and pulled them off and lit one of the matches then lit the candle.
"Make a wish Yugi..." Kaya said, she seated herself at the table as well as Yugi. Yugi didn't have to think about this wish, he knew what he wanted.
"I wish I could spend time with my mommy..." he said, Kaya's eyes brimmed with tears...she pulled Yugi onto her lap and held him close. She buried her face into the little one's wild mane; Yugi blew out the candle and looked at Kaya.
"Mommy I want you to have the cupcake..." Yugi said, Kaya shook her head. Yugi needed the food more than she did.
"No Yugi...you need to eat it..." Kaya protested, Yugi wasn't settling for it. He quickly slid off her lap and ran into the kitchen and came back holding a butter knife.
"Split in it half ok?" Yugi said, he was pretty smart for a 3yr old but Kaya smiled and split the cupcake down the middle and gave each of them a piece. Yugi smiled and ate his quietly, Kaya ate a few bites at a time watching Yugi eat his as he looked at her. Kaya and Yugi finished their little food and Yugi colored in the coloring book the teacher gave him, Kaya sat and read the newspaper looking for a better job until she heard pounding above them.
"DON'T YELL AT ME!" the neighbor yelled. The neighbors above them were always fighting. Kaya shrugged it off as well as Yugi until they heard gunshots and screaming of the young female neighbor. Then they heard one final shot...the husband apparently killed his wife then killed himself. Yugi got spooked and fled to the safety of his mother's embrace. Kaya held him throughout the night until both of them fell asleep one curled up next to the other.
Kaya: well that ends chapter 3! Let me know what you think! R&R!
