Freeze Frame

Part 3: Present Thoughts of Past

Disclaimer: I just love Japan ppls. They are the ones that inspired me to write this story. They are the rightful owners of Yu-Gi-Oh.

Alright, if there's anyone out there, I now present you with the 3rd part of this fanfic. I was out of town for a while so. . . yeah sorry about that. I got punished with a bad sunburn on top of it all. Anyway, the trip did give me loads of time to think on the story and how the heck to end it. I MIGHT put a few poems in here, but ONLY because they seem to be similar to the story. Most of them will be lyrics or poems from famous ppls. Believe me, my poems are too crappy to go on here.

Don't worry. I'm sooo not completing it like this. I still got like four parts left. Believe me, this story's just beginning. Heh heh heh.

Right after Tea pushed them out the door, Duke was the first to speak.

"So Tea, are you really a psychic?" Duke was gullible enough to believe almost anything. Tea had an irregular glow to her eyes. Even her smile seemed odd, having on her pale worried face. She tried to sound calm though, when she finally spoke.

"I guess that's one question you'll never get an answer for. You'll have to find out for yourself, Duke." Tea hoped she didn't sound too concerned about the situation taking place outside in the WAY below zero weather. She had no intention on having people worry about her or her thoughts. She just wanted to burst out the door and look for HER little Yugi. Not Yami's . Not Joey's. Her's. but she didn't want them to see through on how much she wanted him. It would be soo embarrassing. Without a companion to come along with her, She was sure to get lost in the storm upon them anyway. She had no choice but to wait for the others. She prayed nothing terrible would happen.

Serenity dozed off on the couch, just a few minutes after the boys left. Duke was too busy trying to figure out if Tea really was a psychic, or just toying with him. It took him forever to figure out obvious stuff and nonsense. Then he noticed Serenity peacefully sleeping on the couch. All of a sudden he grinned ear to ear. He just couldn't pass up an opportunity to go by her. . . ever so silently. He wanted to scare the crap out of her as payback for what she did to him.
Tea just kept staring out the window. Waiting. . . waiting for Yugi to come back to her aunts cottage. She then forced herself away from the window and tried to take her mind off Yugi. For a while she was successful. She went upstairs and gazed at the antiques, mostly chairs and fairly large mirrors. She even saw a five foot sculpture by the stairs of a beautiful Indian princess. (Her aunt was always fond of Indians.) It was a little dusty up there though. Tea tried covering some of her sneezes. Obviously, her aunt hardly used the place anyway. Even though it was brand spanking new and two stories high. It was very well made, with a slightly faded crimson roof and stone walls. (Insulated, of course!) She just wanted her only niece to enjoy it. She was handing it over to Tea at any rate, in her will. The inside was very extravagant, and had paintings, ancient vases, and even an old-fashioned rocking chair in a corner. Tea noticed it and immediately sat in it. She began to gently rock it back and forth. Just as she dozed off, an image of Yugi formed in her mind.
As Tristan and Joey began their search for Yugi, they began to think, not too far back when they first met him. Man, a lot happened that day. They almost forgot how violent it was.

"Remember when we used to treat Yugi so bad he'd silently cry in study hall?"

"Yeah Tristan, I guess we never really got to know him until. . . you know. . . he saved us from being beaten up, again by that donkey-hole, even though we'd always pick on him."

"Yugi was always so timid. I guess we never knew how bad he had it at school. That's what made it even more weird that he stuck up for us. . . when it happened."

"Man I felt like #hit when I carried him to the hospital."

"But he didn't seem to mind going to there. It was like he felt more at ease there than going home."

"Well I certainly would if I had a step dad that would get drunk and whip me to death." Joey shivered at the thought of having a dad like that. Joey's parents were divorced. He only knew what it was like to have one parent for a certain amount of years. Yugi's step dad eventually went to jail, but someone said he made a getaway not to long after. That only made Yugi more nervous at school.

"Lets just hope no one got to Yugi before us."

Boy would they be in for a surprise at what they'd find.

As Yugi used what was left of his strength to try and stand up, he felt another blow, this time to the head. He fell on his back, and could of swore he was still falling. He put his arms in front of his face for protection. This was a bad idea. He got hit again, only this timewhen he got punched, he heard a CRACK. His right arm fell to his side. Then he felt a bladehit hisother arm. it wasn't broken, but it was bleeding.As he slowly opened his eyes, he saw the VERY last person he'd want to see at that moment. . . his step dad. Yugi almost didn't reconize him with his hair being dyed indigo. He got kicked in the ribs and was starting to get light-headed.Yugi never thought his stepfather would run all the way from Japan to Switzerland. He must of planned it way ahead of time. After he felt someone take his cards out of his pocket,Yugi felt two more punches on both sides of his face. His hearing faded, along with his sight. All of a sudden his strength left him, and he fainted. One of the gangsters threw him on a snow bank. By this time the temperature dropped to -14 degrees. It was starting to snow harder and harder.

"Well guys, we better beat it before the cops come," said Yugi's stepdad. He didn't feel like beating up anymore officials. They lost there chance to get away though. Just as they were about to get in their car, a snowball hit one of them SMACK in the nose.

"Ouch! which one of you clowns threw that?"

"We didn't do anything."

"Then where did the freakn clump of snow come from?" Then out of nowhere, a voice pierced the silence.

"It came from here you butt faced creep. . ."

"W-who's there?" They we're starting to get nervous because they couldn't see anyone through the snow. It was falling in enormous quantities from the sky. Then SPLAT came another snowball. It hit the same guy but in the ear this time. (man that guys gonna have an ear ache lol)

"Show yourself!"

". . .ok. . . let em have it Tristan!" ZOOM! BONK!

ok I'll end it there. Aren't I mean? I hope the suspense won't kill you lol.

Yugi: Hey where did I go?

Stas: Yer in a snowbank, freezing yer little butt off.

Yugi: Hey! That's not very nice.

Stas: I said you were cute and innocent, and that's the thanks I get?

Yami: Don't make him die!

Stas: Oh relax. He's gonna be the new "little blue toes," ahh i miss that show.

Yugi: I'm gonna be a human popsicle, and all you can think about is some dumb show?

Stas: Well. . . you'd make a cute popsicle hehehe.

Yugi :blushes :

Stas: Yeah so, let me know how bad it is ok? Yea, Thanks!
