AN: I can't BELIEVE I forgot the disclaimer last time. Ok to make up for
it, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Only the wonderful plot
of this story. And also I GOT REVIEWS! I swear to Ra, I was just sitting
there staring at my computer with mouth open. I got REVIEWS! I must thank
you all cause I'm way too happy and if you wanna know a little more about
what I might write next you can read the last 2 so yes here goes: (P.S.
this is the chapter where it gets kinda angsty.)
DaughterofDeath: Here you go! Hope you like it!
lucky limeade: I'm hoping it has a plot, even though it is kinda....small. Thanks for reviewing and here's a new chapter for you (sorry, no crossdressing. Maybe I'll mention it in chapters to come)
Animefreak500: Well, flames are pretty much bad reviews and AU is alternate universe (for instance in mine Yami has his own body. But nothing too bad, that's why I only put 'slightly'). My chapters are short, but I just say what needs to be said instead of rambling on and on. Thanks for your review and for liking my first born child!
ChibiChib: Thanks for reviewing! I'm happy you like the way it's going. It's gonna be short, but if I get any more plot bunnies hopping into my head I'll write either another story or add more onto this one.
Shadu: Yes I DID have to stop there cause I could sense it would annoy you! Jk, but it is continued now! Spare me your wrath!
Dark Magician Girl / Hikaru: Yugi's side of the story is next. Thanks for the compliments!
Koishii No Tenshi: Thank you!! It's so nice to hear people say my story is nice! I'm overjoyed! I'm handing out an update to you all!
cupcake's angel – Thank you SMIT
Yami Tangela Pharaohs Angel – I hate her ugly backpack too. Grr on Tea. (truthfully, I think my next fic might be a Tea one though...I'll make sure to mention her backpack in it) and here is your update!
shimmering dragon – I love your name! Everyone seemed to like the cross dressing. I'll have to do a whole story about that I guess. Maybe how the cross dressing and going to the mall tradition started. Are you happy with joy now?
Chapter 2: Boy Forgotten
Yugi POV
They've forgotten about me. All of them. And who could blame them? Yami was always the more popular of us. I just kept getting shunted to one side and after awhile taken out of the picture altogether. Abandoned. That's a good word, though you can use any you'd like. Obliterated, lost, erased, gone, completely ignored; they all mean the same thing.
It's been a long time, almost a year, since I talked to any of my friends. Sometimes we'd pass each other on the streets or in the halls at school and they'd give me a calculating look, as if trying to remember. I look into their eyes and see it – trying to recall who I am, my name, how they know me, why I look so familiar. But then we would always walk on and go to class, and they'd forget me once again.
In that year a lot has changed. Not only was I pushed out of everyone's mind, but I picked up a new hobby. Can anyone guess what it is? No one? Want a clue? Look at my arm. See the red streaks crisscrossing every inch? Now do you know? It's everyone's fault that this has become my new favorite pursuit, but I mostly blame Yami and Joey.
A long, long time ago back before I was erased, we got into a little argument about something stupid. I think it was about one of our duel monster cards, but I can't even remember anymore. All I know is that if things were still the old way, when we were all best friends and everyone was happy, it wouldn't have gotten this severe. It didn't start out that bad, actually. However, as goes with all fights, it heated up very fast. Insults were thrown and tempers unleashed, yet somehow those two managed to gang up on me. I was yelled and screamed at until I couldn't take anymore. I threw up my arms and ran home to my room. That's when I saw it.
That shiny blade I'd stolen from the garage to help me with one of my art projects. I'd heard about people cutting themselves to release anger or sadness, but I'd never considered it – until now. If it could help me feel better immediately I'd take it, even if it was rash and kind of stupid. I grabbed the razor, pressed it to my skin and pulled.
Bliss. Total and complete happiness. All of my anger, sadness, feelings of betrayal, they all poured out of my arm and were washed away. Ever since then it became my past time. Something I did often, not every day, mind you. A lot, but apparently not enough to get anyone to notice, not that they would anyway.
And now it's been almost a year to the day that they removed me from the picture. I have something special planned for this anniversary. Maybe it will make them remember who I am.
AN: Ok, second chapter comes to a close. You still like? I'm trying to decide if I should make this 3 or 4 chapters long, but my bet is 3. Sorry, but the next chapter will most likely be the last then onto other things. Thanks for reading and please review (no flames!)
