Chapter Two

Atsuko moaned. Where was she? She opened her eyes slowly, seeing two blurry figures bending over her, looking at her.
"Ahh!" She yelped. "Who in the HELL are you??? Where am I?"

"Uh...Hi. I am Yugi, and this is my friend Tristan." The tri-colored hair boy said. He put his hand on his head and smiled nervously, waving with the other hand. He had crimson eyes and a kind smile.

"What happened?" Atsuko wondered out loud. The boy named Tristan shrugged his shoulders.

"We was on a walk and saw you collapse in the snow, so we brought you back here, to Yug's. You still seem pretty pale, are you all right, and why where you outside dressed like that? You don't even have any shoes on."

The thoughts of what had happened before came flowing back into her mind. Being slapped and banned from going to her own home. What's she going to do? She turned her head away from the two boys to hide her worry from them.

Yugi walked over to her and bent down so he was level with her face. Pure concern was spread all over in his face and his eyes shinned with worry.

" Uh...Yug I think I am going to go home." Tristan announced. Yugi turned his head toward his friend and said rather blankly,

"Oh, okay, see you later." And with that Tristan walked out the door, letting a chill sneak in the warmth in the process. Yugi turned his attention back to Atsuko. "Is something wrong?" He asked, his voice shaking with concern.

"My...mom..." Atsuko started to say, and before she knew it, she was spilling what happened from top to bottom. It all came out as though she had been holding it in for years. When she finished she gave a most relieving sigh and she looked into Yugi's face.

A tear rolled down his check. Atsuko, startled, gazed at him and didn't know what to do or say. "Uh...Yugi...are...are you okay?" She managed to say.

"I can't believe you have lived in that house hold all your life! She's your mother! HOW CAN SHE DO THAT TO YOU?" Yugi yelled with rage. Tears flew out his eyes. He stood up and walked over to the window. Snow was gently falling down onto the ground.

"No Yami, it's too dangerous. You know that." Yugi said.

"W-what?" Atsuko asked, but got ignored. It's as if Yugi even forgot she was there. "Yugi?" She asked out of uncertainty. Yugi gave out a frustrated sigh.

"Well I hope you are right on this Yami. If anything else happens to her I will be FURIOUS." Yugi said again. Atsuko looked at Yugi with a confused look .She stood up from where she was laying and walked over to Yugi. She looked at his face. His eyes looked distant, like his soul wasn't even there. Then all of the sudden life appeared back in his eyes and he smiled at Atsuko.

"Come on. I have someone who would like to meet you, and I am sure he would let you live with him. What do you say?" Yugi told her. She looked, surprised at what she just heard, and nodded unsurely. Knowing that Atsuko said it was okay, Yugi grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door.

Me: Well that's the end of chapter two! R&R! Please review! It tells me that people actually like what I am doing!!

Yami Bakura: Can you seriously get ANY STUPIDER?! They don't review because they DON'T like what YOU are DOING.

Me: Wanna say that again? Pulls out frying pan of doom.

Yami Bakura: Runs Away
