Ish: YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hokage: Joy.
Shadu: We dun own nothing.
Hokage: 'Cept Magic.
Shadu: True.
Yugi woke the next morning. He didn't feel well at all. He wanted to stay home today. He wasn't even sure if he could get out of bed. So he just laid there. He felt like he wanted to cry, but he wasn't sure why. Yugi had never felt so sad, and when Grampa came to get him, he didn't move an inch.
"Yugi, come on, you'll be late for school," Grampa urged.
"Do I have to go today Grampa?" Yugi moaned. "I'm not feeling well."
"Well, you've barely been absent," Grampa thought this through. "Alright, you may stay home today, but tomorrow, you had better go to school if you know what's good for you."
Yugi nodded. He didn't really want to miss school. But he couldn't even pull himself out of bed. He just laid there. Magic walked in about mid day. He was looking a little better. He had more weight on him now. Not much more, but there was a noticable difference.
"You not feeling well again?" Magic asked.
Yugi shook his head.
"Does it have anything to do with Yami's absence?" Magic questioned.
Yugi nodded.
"Wanna talk about it?" Magic asked again.
"Not really," Yugi replied.
"Alright, if you don't wanna talk, suit yourself, but just know, I'll be here for you," Magic walked out of the room.
Yugi wasn't sure what to think of Magic. He knew Magic meant well, but Magic wasn't sure how to handle Yugi either. Yugi was pretty sure about that. But why was Magic the way he was? He remembered Yami talked sometimes about how great of a companion Magic was, and how good of a fighter he was. But Magic didn't seem to be any of those. Had Yami been just making that up? He said he remembered Magic as clear as day, but did he really? Magic was a skwrany runt, just like himself. Yugi sat back and sighed. A few hours later, Yugi had fallen asleep. A knock came at the door.
"Yeah?" Yugi mumbled, rubbing his eye sleeply.
"Hey Yugi, it's me," Jamie said, stepping into Yugi's room.
"Oh, hi," Yugi smiled a little.
"Were you feeling bad today?" Jamie asked.
Yugi nodded.
"Well, I have a martial arts class tonight, wanna come?" Jamie asked.
"Uh, okay," Yugi stated unsurely.
"We can do something afterwards," Jamie quickly suggested.
"Okay, sounds good," Yugi's face brightened greatly.
"Can I come?" Magic asked.
Yugi looked at Jamie, who looked back. He realized that Jamie wanted to do this with him, alone. But Magic needed sometime to roam too. He needed to get aquatined with his new suroundings. With a heavy sigh, Jamie shrugged.
"Sure," Yugi told Magic.
The three walked to the building where Jamie's class was being held. Yugi watched in amazement as Jamie practiced with a bamboo sword.
SHE'S GOOD, thought Yugi, I WISH I COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
He watched as she spared with another student. She was on the winning side. She was incredible, Yugi corrected himself.
Afterwards, they walked along and just hung out. Magic didn't say much and let the other two talk. A couple times, they even forgot that Magic was there. But they just kept walking until...
"Hey short stuff!" a mean voice called out across the street.
Yugi glanced up. Oh-no! They had wandered into the West Side of town. It was home to more than twenty gangs. And they all LOVED to pick on people, especailly people like Yugi. Yugi recognized the colors on the invaders, for he had experiecned an encounter with them before.
"We don't want any trouble," Jamie piped up.
NO JAMIE, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! Yugi thought desperately.
"Oh, you might not, but we do," another voice pitched in.
A gang of about twenty or thirty members crept out from the alleyways and stores and slowly started to surround Jamie, Yugi, and Magic.
"What'd we do?" Yugi wondered out loud.
"We fight 'em," Magic snarled.
"Attack!" the leader of the gang yelled.
And in an instant, Yugi and Jamie were under a pile of body. The bodies were weights, tons and tons of weight. They were heavy, and Yugi was having problems catching his breath. Breathing was difficult for him with five people, more than twice his weight, ontop of him.
"Help," Yugi coaked.
"You want help?" the one closest to his ear sneered. "Well, you're going to have to speak louder than that."
"Correction! He spoke loud enough!" Magic's voice flooded through the air.
All the gangsters turned their ugly heads towards Magic. He was up on two legs now, and he was smirked with a hand behind his back.
"What'd you say?" a gangster challenged him.
"You heard me! He's got all the help he needs!" Magic roared back.
He revealed his hand as he threw its firey contents at the gangsters. One after another these balls of fire came until there were no thugs left.
"There, that should teach 'em," Magic snorted.
SO, Yugi thought, THE STORIES ABOUT HIM WERE TRUE!
Shadu: Hate to leave it at a cliff, but....
Hokage: Makes it interesting.
Shadu: Review Please.
