Chapter #2

Well, I started out

Down a dirty road

Started out

All alone

A young boy was playing with some duel monster cards in his room. He looked like he was 11 years old when in reality he was only 15 years old. His name was, you guessed it Yugi Motou. He had an unusual hair that represented each of the families that his powers comer from. The red represented the mages, the black for the vampires, the gold for the shape shifters, and his purple eyes represented humanity.

Yugi grew up with his "grandfather" Sugoroku, and sometimes his parents would come and visit him. His parents didn't come a lot because they fear the vampires would find them and their son.

And the sun went down

As I crossed the hill

And the town lit up

The world got still

Yugi knew about his powers and practiced everyday to perfect them. He could do some magic, and was able to turn into a wolf, and a hawk. He had extra senses from his vampire part of him, but he wasn't a full vampire. When ever his parents would come over they would teach im a new spell, trick, or teach him something.

Yes, you might think that Yugi has the perfect life. He had powers that so many people wished they had. (AN: I know I do.) Not a care in the world. But how wrong you are!

Even though Yugi had all this power he still had to live like a normal person. He had to go to school, do chores ect. The one thing that Yugi wished then all the items in the world was a friend. Even though he had magic he could not conceal the vampire part in him. Humans could sense something dark within Yugi and avoided him. The bullies had pick Yugi as their favorite punching bag. He got so many bruises from them, so after he received his beating the vampire part of him would heal the wounds he received.

I'm learning to fly

But I ain't got wings

Coming down

Is the hardest thing

Every night he would wish for a friend or some one who would not care that there was something different about him.

"Yugi, time for dinner." Sugoroku shouted.

"Coming grandpa!" Yugi called back from his room.

Yugi and his grandpa ate together and talked about different things that happened in their day. Yugi always edit the part of him getting beating up out and him being so lonely.

"I got a message from your parents. They might be come over tomorrow." Sugoroku said.

"That's nice." Yugi said happily.

"Is there something bothering you Yugi?" his grandpa asked.

"No. I'm just really tired, and I haven't practiced my magic today." Yugi said.

Sugoroku smiled at his grandson. He was truly happy that his parents come to him that night 15 years ago. If they hadn't he would probably be a lonely old man.

After dinner Yugi went to his room and played a song on his guitar. He sang one of his favorite songs called "Last Dance With Mary Jane" by Tom Petty. Yugi loved that singer because a lot of his songs Yugi felt related to.

Yugi fell into a dreamless sleep. Tomorrow will be another day and maybe something good will happen.

Well the good ol' days

May not return

And the rocks might melt

And the sea may burn

~The Next Day~

Yugi got up and did the something he did everyday. Get up, brush teeth, get dress, eat breakfast, and go to school.

Yugi walked to school by himself looking at the ground when he accidentally bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't see you." Yugi quickly said fearing that it might be one of the bullies.

"No I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention." Yugi looked up to see and albino kid about his age is a chocolate eye.

The albino extended his hand to Yugi and said "I'm Ryou." The two shock hands. "I'm Yugi. Your new right."

"Yep. I just moved into the house a block away from here. I moved with my best friend Malik. We just came from Egypt." Ryou said happily. Just when he spoke a blond tan skinned boy came up.

"Hey Ryou why didn't you wait for me?" he asked.

"Because you have the speed of a turtle in the morning, and I didn't want to be late. That's why." Ryou said.

Ryou looked at Yugi and said, "This idiot is Malik."

Yugi smiled and shock Malik's hand "I'm Yugi."

I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)

But I ain't got wings (Learning to fly)

Coming down (Learning to fly)

Is the hardest thing (Learning to fly)

The three walked to school talking happily together. Yugi was worried that they might since the same thing every one else did and ignore him, but they talked to him as if they've known him for years.

Once they reached the school one of the bullies came up to Yugi and the other two and said, "Hey runt where's my money."

"I don't have any money, and if I did I wouldn't give it to you." Yugi said with confidence in his voice.

The guy was about to punch Yugi when Malik punched the bully first. "I think you should leave before I get angry." Malik said.

"Your defending that freak?" the bully asked Malik and Ryou.

The two nodded their heads and stood in front of Yugi. "If you want to hurt him then you'll have to get through us first."

The bully was going to walk away when he said, "Your regret that you ever helped that little runt." And then he left.

Well, some say life

Will beat you down

Break your heart

Steal your crown

Yugi never thought this would happen. Someone actually stoop up for him, and they didn't asked for something in return.

"You didn't have to do that. Now he will hurt you." Yugi said sadly.

"That's what friends do Yugi. They help each other out." Ryou said to Yugi.

"Yeah, besides that guy was a big jerk anyway." Malik said. Yugi smiled because for the first time in all his life he had friends.

So I've started out (Ooh)

For God knows where (Ooh)

I guess I'll know (Ooh)

When I get there (Ooh)

Yugi walked with Ryou and Malik the rest of the way to school. Yugi couldn't remember the last time he felt so happy. He had friends now.

Of cores people looked at the three and they mumbled things to themselves.

Yugi's happiness immediately disappeared at the thought of all the gossip that make Ryou and Malik go away. 'Maybe I should tell them before they hear anything bad about me.' Yugi thought.

I'm learning to fly

Around the clouds

And what goes up (Learning to fly)

Must come down

By some kind of luck both Malik and Ryou were in the same classes as Yugi. Some people would whisper things to them, but Ryou and Malik would either ignore them or yell at them. Any one could tell the two new kids were losing their chance at popularity very quickly.

The school day went by slowly and every one was happy when the bell rang for school to be out. Ryou and Malik both walked with Yugi to get home. When they were walking towards the game shop Yugi felt two familiar presents. He smiled and waved bye to his two new friends.

He entered the game shop where he saw the faces of his mom and dad. He saw that neither of them has aged which was normal for a vampire and a mage.

Yugi's mother came up to him and gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. Yugi hugged back and then his farther came up to him and did the same thing.

"You've grown." Darla said. Yug nodded.

"Have you been practicing your powers son?" Yugi's farther asked. Yugi nodded again and said, "How long can you stay?"

Both adults looked at each other and Senko said "About three days. I've been sensing that the vampires are getting restless."

"So how was your day sweetly?" Darla asked.

"It was great. I met two new friends, and I didn't get a lot of homework." Yugi said happily.

"That's great darling." Darla said as she hugged her son.

Oh I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)

But I ain't got wings

Coming down

Is the hardest thing

The whole evening Yugi spent time with his parents. Even though they said they would be staying for only three days he was afraid that they might leave sooner then that.

Yugi told them what has happened since the time they last came to visit him. They were very proud that he practice his powers every day, and that the was doing well in school.

Yugi yawned while he was watching a movie with his parents and fell asleep next to his dad.

Senko picked Yugi up and took him to his room. He laid Yugi in his bed and kissed him goodnight on the head.

Senko whispered in Yugi's ear "Your mother and I are very proud of you son. I know it's very hard on you. We love you dearly.

I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)

Around the clouds

And what goes up (Learning to fly) Must come down

Yugi smiled in his sleep. Yes this has been a great day for him. He finally got friends and he got to see his parents.

I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)

(Learning to fly)

I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)

(Learning to fly

For the first time in so many nights he slept well.
