The beginning.

~~~

There has always been a firm belief that the best place to start a story is from the beginning.

To tell it all through in chronological order, and explain the events as they happen.

This is just another of life's little tricks.

The 18 year old blinked owlishly from the front seat of the small car. Ahead of him, the dimly lit streets and sidewalks of downtown Domino were clear, as they should have been, as late as it was. The adolescent was tired and slightly drunk having just come home from a party at one of his friend's apartments. His usually clear, amethyst orbs were fogged with a combination of these two factors, as he looked out over the blurred road in front of him. The vehicle slowed as a blurry amber colour flicked drearily over to red somewhere over the middle of the street.

The night itself was cold and dreary, slightly wet, and with an under toning of fog, making the conditions dangerous for anyone, and much more so for the drunk teen. The late autumn wet spell had been unexpected, for all the days up to, and including that of the party had been exceptionally clear and cloudless, almost perfect conditions for anything and everything. Not too hot, not too cold. The night, however, the weather had turned dark, foreboding, almost as if it were a warning of what was to come.

The adolescent, however, paid no attention to this. Be it because he was slightly drunk, or maybe he was just too confident in his abilities, possibly even a mixture of the two, but the tri-colour haired boy though he could take on the roads that night. Yugi, the young male's name was, 19 years old, and a world champion duellist. Though, he was still prone to the young habits of the race Homo-sapiens, and like all humans enjoyed getting drunk on occasion as well. He was very short for his age, around the 5 foot range, and often mistaken for younger than he was. Not only that, but Yugi was different to the others around him, very different, through one little gold trinket that he currently held around his neck.

Yes, the one that's shaped like the upside down triangle. (Y. Haku: HIKARI! This is NO time for your perverted humour! Haku: -sulks-)

This trinket held the spirit of a once dead Egyptian pharaoh, known to the boy and his friends as Yami, or, Atemu. At this point in time, the spirit was far from pleased, for his young partner wasn't listening to a word he said. You are DRUNK Aibou, pull over, so that I can drive. The spirit said, with his usual, commanding tone.

Yugi, however (And to the infuriation of his counterpart), did not pull over, but gently pressed on the accelerator as the fogged light above turned green. Don't worry, Mou Hitori no Boku, I'm fine! Was the internal reply to a spirit who looked set to explode. With his left eye twitching, and mumbling something about 'stupid, drunk Hikaris,' the similar appearanced spirit left the boy's consciousness, and locked the door, back to his own room, contained within the puzzle.

The boy shook his head at the moody spirit's antics, and turned his attention back to the seemingly empty road ahead of him.

Keyword? Seemingly. "What the fuck is that?" The boy whispered to himself, as a shadow was caught in his headlights. The shape was too big to be a cat, or a dog, about the size of a small child, and it had strange growths that emerged from where the shoulder joint of a human would be. The creature turned, and Yugi's heart froze. Two gleaming yellow eyes peered out of the gloom, with strange, almost slit like pupils, but on a human face. "Well, whatever it is, it better move quickly, or it'll get hit." The creature didn't move, and it was in that moment, that Yugi realised he'd better do something, far behind the uptake though he was. Slamming his foot on the brakes, he pounded his fist into the horn, in the hopes that the creature would move.

It didn't.

There was a sickening crunch, as steel hit flesh, and all bones snapped from the force of the blow. The thing, whatever it was, spun over the roof, shattering the windscreen in the process. The force of the brakes and the creature's bodyweight, ground the car to a halt, and a sickening red fluid dripped gently into the car.

Gently nursing a bump on his forehead, from where his head had slammed into the steering wheel, Yugi gingerly stepped out of the wreck that was once his car. Carefully stepping over broken glass, twisted metal, and that same red substance, Yugi moved towards the limp creature that he had slammed into. Oh Ra, please let it be a cat. He found himself thinking as he moved closer to the crumpled form. It moved slightly, and a brilliant glow escaped it. "HOLY SHIT!" Was the drunken cry that escaped the boy's mouth as the creature, covered in blood, and with a broken neck, stood, turned, and grinned. It was humanoid, with large, leathery wings, but strangely, it was the size of a small, girl child. She... it? Had long brown hair that was tied back into a loose ponytail, and would have been remarkably beautiful, if her neck hadn't of been twisted at an impossible angle. Holding his heart, Yugi took a step back.

Mou Hitori no boku? I think you better see this... He hurriedly whispered to his other half, as the lifeless eyes turned on him. Could they be the same ones? Not possible, the ones he saw earlier were full of cold fire, and glistened yellow. These ones were dead and brown... Trembling slightly, the boy moved closer to the figure, almost as if he were mesmerised by the lifeless chocolate orbs. ((Haku: God! How dumb can some people get! Y. Haku: You're writing this, Haku.))

A hissing noise escaped the figure's mouth. "Yugi Mouto..." The lips curved upwards into a wicked smirk, and for the first time, Yugi noticed the creature's wings. Large, and leathery, and tipped with dangerous looking claws. They were obviously broken from where the car had hit. Yugi, of course, was speechless. "Yugi Mouto..." The eyes of the creature rolled madly, and Yugi took a terrified step back, away from the voice that raked his mind, like nails on a chalkboard. "Your turning is paramount, slayer of the eternal. Take up the curse, or it will be forced upon you." Yugi blinked in confusion. This was odd. He had no time to ponder it though, as the creature collapsed, in a type of 'dark light'. He had no time to gather his thoughts, as it struck him down, and captured him in its life-gripping tendrils.

Then, the screaming began...
