Yugi walked into the kitchen, Mr. Motou was cleaning up the food he had dropped when Yugi fell. Yugi stood there shuffling his feet nervously, when he looked up at the boy,
"Why don't you come in and sit down, Yugi?" he said smiling kindly at him
"I'm sorry for making such a mess sir" he said taking a seat at the table
"Don't worry about it Yugi I've seen worse from Yami" Yugi giggled at that, it was very hard for him to see Yami making a mess of anything.
", and by all means call me Grandpa your part of the family now" he said giving Yugi a plate of scrambled eggs and pancakes which he started to scarf it down hungrily. Yami appeared in the doorway wearing an outfit similar to Yugi's, except his pants were leather; Yugi looked up when he entered, Yami was holding a jacket in his arms. He walked up to Yugi and draped the jacket over his shoulders
"Hey Yugi" he said sitting down and grabbing a plate.
"How would you like to go shopping with me today?" He asked watching Yugi try to see what Yami had put on him without taking it off
"Really I can come with you?"
"Yeah I need you there if I'm going to be buying cloths for you" he said smiling at Yugi's reaction
"I'd love to come." He started back to eating his breakfast before he realized it he'd eaten three plates worth of food, and he still looked pretty thin.
"You really have an appetite there Yugi" Grandpa said picking up the dishes.
"I was starving I haven't eaten in almost a week" Yugi explained standing
"Can we go now?" he asked Yami leaving the jacket on the chair
"Not so fast" Yami said grabbing the jacket Yugi had left behind
"You have to wear this" he said grabbing Yugi before he reached the doorway
"But why? I don't feel safe with that on" Yugi asked sounding like a little kid
"Trust me Yugi you're safer with it than without it" Yami said trying to get Yugi to put the jacket on
"Why?"
"Because"
"Because why?"
"Because some people are afraid of new things and if those people saw your wings they might try to hurt you and I don't want that to happen" he said sighing.
"People will think I'm a freak huh?"
"No Yugi you aren't a freak you're just special" he said as Yugi picked at the jacket Yami had put on him
"Okay" he said dully Yami patted him on the head
"Now Yugi cheer up it's only going to be temporary" he said grabbing Yugi's hand and leading him out into the sunlight.
"Eek!" Yugi squeaked as the sunlight hit his eyes Yami looked down at him and then at the sun for a few seconds it had stopped raining some time in the night and the sun was out and shining. Yugi tried to get back inside the shop and into to the darkness again but Yami kept a hold of him he turned and looked at Yami his pupils had shrunk to the size of pinpoints due to the sudden light, but were slowly growing as he got used to it; he blinked a few times trying to get Yami into a better focus.
"Yugi, you okay?" he asked as Yugi blinked at him
"Uh-huh" Yugi said rubbing his eyes
"I haven't seen daylight since I was little bity" he said coming closer to Yami
"Well it's not going to be like that anymore; you'll get plenty of sun, food, and exercise" he said happily leading Yugi down the side walk. They arrived at the store, Yugi looked around at all the cloths to choose from and then down at his own tight-fitting shirt that had been fixed specially for him.
"How am I going to wear these?" he asked when Yami tried to show him a shirt
"I'm going to fix them up for you when we get home" he said holding the black shirt up to Yugi to see if it was his size. They picked out a few different outfits which included one that looked almost exactly like Yami's, neck belt and all; Yami paid for the cloths and left with Yugi in tow. On their way back they had to stop at a traffic light the sun was beaming down with no clouds to get in the way making it hotter than usual Yugi was starting to sweat profusely looking up at the long light. He was standing behind Yami who didn't notice as he started to sway dangerously the light changed and the small group of people that had accumulated at the corner started to move, pushing Yugi along. Halfway across Yugi suddenly collapsed breathing way too fast he was just trying to breath but was overheating with that jacket on; Yami didn't notice, thinking Yugi was still following him, he kept walking. Yugi was laying there in the road gasping for breath trying to cry out for Yami. The light changed back and he heard the cars next to him rev up when suddenly he felt himself being picked up off the ground by the waist; the next second he felt himself being set down against a wall he was still gasping for air his eyes rolling back into his head. The stranger took Yugi's jacket off and laid him down on the ground with a gasp, he tilted Yugi's head back and started to give him mouth to mouth until the little guy was breathing again Yugi started taking huge breaths of air in again the stranger was fanning him with a book
"Hey kid, are ya aright?" he said. Yugi coughed a few times before he started to yell
"YAMI!!!" he tried to get away but the stranger held him in place "sit still for a little bit or ya might..." before he got the words out Yugi was on his feet he took about two steps and fell in a flurry of feathers. "fall." He finished.
Yami heard Yugi scream and came running when he arrived at the scene he saw that a tall blond man was holding Yugi up and fanning him seemingly unaware that the boy he was holding had wings sprouting out of his back. He ran up to Yugi dropping his bags
"Yugi!" he knelt down next to him
"What happened?" he asked the blond. Yugi was still coughing slightly
"De little guy ovaheated" he said
"Yous should keep a closa eye on your broder"
"He isn't my brother, but thank you so much. What's your name?" he said trying to pick Yugi up
"Katsuya Jonouchi, Jou for short" he said smiling and shaking Yami's hand
"how can I repay you, Jou?" suddenly one of Yugi's bigger feathers fell out as Jou shook Yami's hand He picked it up and looked at it then at Yugi and back at the feather.
"Holy cow dose are real aren't dey?" he said trying to get a better look at Yugi now; Yami looked down at Yugi he just realized that he wasn't wearing his jacket
"Umm..."
'Well I guess there's no avoiding it now' Yami thought
"Yes, please don't tell anyone else."
"Sure I won't tell" he said holding up his hand and crossing his heart. Yami turned and tried to pick up his shopping bags with Yugi still in his arms
"Need a little help dere?" he asked over his shoulder noticing Yugi was asleep
"Yeah could you help?" Yami said sheepishly Jou picked up Yami's bags easily and followed Yami home.
"So dat means you two aren't related right?" Jou asked as Yami unlocked the back door to the game shop
"Yes, I just found him yesterday he's staying with me and my grandpa" he said opening the door. He entered and laid Yugi out on the couch
"Just set the bags down over there he said pointing next to the couch as he rummaged through the drawers looking for a pair of scissors. Jou set the things down and knelt down next to Yugi he was looking at the wings coming out of his back stunned.
"Dat's awesome, can he actually fly?" he said pulling one of the wings out
"Yeah, he's only flown one time though, and just about got killed, oh and he'd probably like it if you stopped messing with his wings he's very sensitive about that." Yami said sitting down next to Yugi who looked like he was really tensing up in his sleep due to the contact.
"Oh sorry" Jou stopped touching and settled for just looking
"Dat's just so mind blowing dough was he born like that?"
"Yes, well, no, it's more like he was created like that"
"Waddaya mean?" Jou asked as he watched Yami start cutting up the shirts he'd bought for Yugi
"Yugi was created; he's kind of like one of those experiments gone awry like you read about in sci-fi books"
"Wow! That's pretty cool, where'd ya find him?"
"I found him out in the woods on the north side of town, I wouldn't go up there if I were you though" Yami said casually Jou seemed like the kind of guy you could trust.
"Why?" he said curiously
"Cause the guy's who created him tried to abandon him they left him to starve but I found him and they're after me they didn't get a good look at me and they might think you're me" he said finishing up Yugi's first shirt.
"Oh, well I gotta get going, my little sister is waitin' for me at home maybe you can introduce Yugi to her someday." He said standing and going to the door
"If ya ever need me just call!" Jou said as he went out the door Yami just smiled
'He seems like a nice guy' he thought to himself. For the next few hours Yami worked on Yugi's shirts when he reached the bottom of the bag he felt something soft and lumpy his picked it up it was a small plushie angel that Yugi had asked him to buy it wasn't anything really extravagant just a little angel with blond hair, brown wings, and a little white gown. (A.N: sound familiar?) Yami smiled at the thought Yugi had said it looked like his big brother; he put the plushie under Yugi's arm and the little boy gripped onto it. Yami stood wondering where his grandfather had disappeared to he wandered into the kitchen there was a note stuck to the fridge.
Dear Yami,
Got an urgent call from my friend in America had to leave will be back in a week or two.
See you soon, Grandpa
The note was written really fast obviously; so he and Yugi would have the house to themselves for a while. Yami heard a Yawn behind him he turned around to see Yugi standing there holding his plushie and rubbing his eyes
"Yugi? What are you doing up? Are you feeling all right?" he said
"I feel fine, I'm hungry" he said sleepily Yami looked at the clock it was all ready somewhere around 2:00 in the afternoon.
"Okay what do you like?"
'Dumb question there Yami' he thought immediately when Yugi looked at him confused
"never mind I'm just going to order some pizza" he said grabbing the phone and starting to dial the local pizza shop Yugi just sat there at the table as Yami ordered a pizza for the two of them. Yugi was sitting the playing with his little angel doll on the table when Yami sat down
"Yugi are you okay?" he asked worriedly
"Yeah Yami why do you ask?" Yugi replied
"Well you just about suffocated earlier I'm just making sure"
"Oh," Yugi looked down like he'd done something wrong
"I don't know what happened I just suddenly got really dizzy and I couldn't breath I tried to get you to help but you just kept going then someone picked me up I still couldn't breath it hurt it felt like someone was strangling me then that guy did something and I could breath again. That guy where did that guy go I didn't get to thank him!" he said suddenly.
"Calm down Yugi his name was Jou he's a good guy you'll be seeing him again probably" he said. Suddenly the phone started ringing Yami picked it up.
"Motou residence Yami speaking" he said
"Hey Yami can I come over?"
"Jou? You just left three hours ago what do you want"
"I've got someone to show you, and Yami, you won't believe who it is."
