Man's Road
Horizon, rising
Up to meet the purple dawn.
Dust demon, screaming
Grinin' eagle to lead me on.
For in my heart I carry
Such a heavy load.
Here I am ,
On Man's Road.
Walkin' Man's Road…
Walkin' Man's Road…
I'm hungry, weary;
But I cannot lay me down
The rain comes, dreary;
But there's no shelter
I have fond.
It will be a long time till I find
My abode.
Here I am ,
On Man's Road.
Walkin' Man's Road…
Walkin' Man's Road…
Moon rising, disguising
Lonely streets in gay displays.
The stars fade, the night shade
Falls and makes the world afraid.
It waits in silence for the sky to explode.
Here I am .
On Man's Road.
Walkin' Man's Road…
Walkin' Man's Road…
Road
Walkin' Man's Road…
Road
Walkin' Man's Road…
Road
Walkin' Man's Road…
Road
Walkin' Man's Road…

Yugi slowly gazed around the empty park. One swing swayed sadly in the slight breeze. The memory from the museum played over and over again in his mind's eye. A single tear rolled down his cheek and he swiped angrily at his eyes. Sighing he made his way home. The others had surely realized he had left and by now would be looking for him. He opened the door the to the Kame game shop.
"Yugi!" Grampa smiled. "Your friends called looking for you! Do you want me to call them back?"
"No thanks, Grampa. I think I'm gonna go lay down." He answered without looking up. He kept his head down so Grampa wouldn't see the tears pooling in his eyes. Grampa frowned at his only grandchild, but didn't say anything. When Yugi reached the upper landing he looked over to the door of his mother's room. He started towards it, but then changed his mind. Turning, he entered the room he now shared with Yami.
"Aibou?" Yami said as he entered the room.
"It's nothing Yami." He said quietly.
"It is not nothing." Yami said gently. Yugi looked up startled at his taller self. "You have the right to be sad." The spirit said kindly.
"Otou-san." The smaller one whispered. The tears that had been threatening to fall began to flow freely down his cheeks.
Yami rose and went to the crying teen. "It's not your fault Yugi." He said, embracing the boy. His hikari clung to him, silent sobs wracking his small body unchecked. He cried for several hours, until final he fell asleep in the other's arms. Yami looked down at the small form that lay limp in his arms. "Why?" he asked the sleeping teen confused. But no answer came. Then he moved and set Yugi on the bed. He started for the door, but stopped, knowing that his other soul would be frightened if he woke to find the pharaoh gone. It couldn't be helped. He opened the link to his hikari and sent waves of love flowing through to soothe him, and leaving the link open, he slipped quietly from the room.
Quickly the ancient one made his way down the stairs to where the old man was closing the shop. "Saimun." He said, getting the man's attention.
Grampa looked up from where he had been sweeping. "Well?" he asked.
"What is the Crystal Heart?" Yami asked him point blank.
A shadowed look covered Mr. Mouto's face. "Where'd you here of that?"
"Yugi. They have one at the museum and he saw it."
Saimun looked anxiously at Yami. Did anyone ask him about it?"
"No." Yami frowned. "Why?"
A/N: Well, here's chapter 2. Like I said, be kind. I hope you like it. Yugi's grampa is called Saimun because that's what Yami called him the very first time they met in the manga.
