Mijikai: Cool! Some reviews!

DrAgOuS154: Glad you like! And yes. Yugi is the youngest of the twins.

Anomynous reviewer: that's okay. Ryou is actually part of the wolf race. They are able to transform into humans when need be. If that's what you mean by your question.

Amy (the_magic_war): Ryou is wolf, only he can become human. Yugi is considered a king or prince since he's the twin brother of one. You'll find out in this chapter and others, a bit about the other twin. Sorry if it's confusing, but it will become clear as the story goes on. Glad you like.

~blah~ :When Ryou's a wolf ***************************************************************

Chapter two

"I think we'll take it, sir. How about four hundred pounds of gold pieces?" Sugoroku suggested.

"Sugoroku. You got yourself a deal. The game shop is yours."

And they shook hands.

They settled into the game shop and Sugoroku let Ryou and Yugi play around in the living room. Yugi slowly sat up and suddenly was pounced on by Ryou. Sugoroku was about to go pull Ryou off when he saw Ryou licking Yugi. It seemed even though Ryou was in human form he acted like a wolf. Yugi giggled and tried pushing Ryou off. Ryou bounded off and Yugi slowly sat up again. He seemed lonely. He looked around the room, as if in search of someone. Ryou looked at Yugi while cocking his head to one side and looked concerned.

"Yugi? Little one? What's the matter?" Sugoroku asked.

Yugi reached beside him and pointed at the spot.

"Nah. Nah."

"Hm?"

"Nah. Nah!"

"You mean your brother?" he asked sadly.

"Nah," he said sadly.

Ryou seemed to sense Yugi's sadness and nuzzled him. Yugi patted him gently on the head. Sugoroku laughed.

'I have to teach Ryou to be human.'

After putting the two to bed, he looked longingly out the window and he could barely see the lush forest.

"Misote. I'm safe with Yugi. I wonder how you and the other fair?" ***************************************************************

As the years past, Misote's oldest grew and became a healthy young boy. He took the throne at the kings death when he was ten, know he was thirteen. He always looked sad and always kept the blanket near his bed. He didn't know why he felt alone and why he kept the blanket, no one knew. Not even himself.

"Honey. What troubles you?" Misote asked.

He turned and his violet eyes looked into his mothers.

"I feel alone. But why do I have this feeling? I'm an only child aren't I? Does all only children feel like this?"

"........"

"Mother."

"Honey. There's something you must know."

"What mother?"

"You aren't an only child."

".......What?"

"You aren't an only child."

".........I can't believe this. But....why isn't he here?"

"There is a law. No one must copy the kings face. They consider the youngest copying the oldest one's face so they....they...kill them," and she covered her face, crying.

He stood there stunned. Then conforted his mother.

"I'm sorry mother. I wish I could meet him."

"You can," she whispered.

He stared.

"I....can?"

"He's not dead," she whispered.

"He's still alive?"

"Yes," then grabbed her son's arm. "Please! Don't let that slip out! They will search for him and kill him immediately!"

"Mother."

"Please."

"Of course I'll not slip. "

Misote placed a hand on his cheek.

"My son. You can not reach him though. He is in a place where no one dares to go."

He looked at her firmly.

"I want to see my brother."

"No. It's to dangerous."

"But you said I could."

"I meant, it was possible since he is alive, but you can't go to him, and he can't come to you!"

"Mother. I want to see him."

She went quiet, then sighed. Her son could be so stubborn sometimes.

"He lives in the city. Somewhere."

"Then I will go."

"No!"

"I will and no one can stop me!" and ran out of the room.

"NO! Sintamo!" ***************************************************************

Yugi and Ryou grew up to be very close brothers. Ryou was know masterly trained so he acted more human then wolf, and he could know control his powers of alternating between human and wolf. Yugi was always cheerful and descovered some of his own powers. He had excilent hearing and sight.

"Yugi! Come on we'll be late for school!" shouted Ryou as he ran with speed.

"Easy for you to say! Your the one that is faster then an average human!"

Ryou chuckeled and slowed so Yugi could catch up. They ran into their junior high and Yugi was puffing as he sat down. People stayed away from them because they thought he and Ryou were weird.

"Do...you....have.....to.....go......so.......fast?" Yugi puffed.

"It's my average speed."

"Right."

"Oh, come now. Don't be such a bad sport."

"Easy for you to say."

Before Ryou could answer the bell rang and the teacher came in for their lesson. ***************************************************************

After school they hurried home and flopped down on the couch. Actually, Yugi flopped down on the couch. Ryou turned into a wolf and lay in Yugi's lap.

"Get off. I'm not your pillow."

~Comfy like one~

Yugi scrowled at the lazing wolf.

"You're mean."

~And your lap is soft~

Yugi pushed Ryou, but he didn't even budge.

"Packing on a few pounds huh?"

~Am not!~

"So that's where my gummy bears went, and chocolate bar, and soda, and......"

~I took nothing! I mean ate nothing! Except maybe your chocolate bar.....~

"Hey! That was my last one to."

~Sucks for you~

Yugi shoved and the wolf fell off his lap.

"Ha ha!"

Ryou bared his teeth and that got Yugi nervous.

"Okay. Good wolf. Nice wolf."

Ryou jumped onto Yugi and groweled while baring his teeth. Saliva dripped from his open jaw and onto Yugi's clothes and face.

"Oh gross! Okay! Get off! Bad dog!"

Ryou calmly jumped off Yugi.

"Ewww! That was nasty!" he shouted as he whipped the siliva off his face.

"You're just lucky grandpa isn't here."

~I take chances~

"Ryou! That is sick!"

~What do you expect? I'm wolf~

Yugi stopped.

"What are you talking about Ryou? You're human like me and grandpa and the other students in class."

~Not to them~

Yugi took the wolfs face in his hands.

"To me. Isn't that all that matters?"

Ryou looked into Yugi's violet eyes and sighed.

~Yes. As long as my little brother doesn't care, I guess I shouldn't either~

Yugi smiled and hugged the wold.

"Good. Because I do look up to you, you know."

"Yes, I know," and put a finger to his nose. "Can't fail you there, can I?"

"Nope!"

Ryou smiled.

"Ryou! Yugi! I'm back!"

"Grandpa's back from his trip!" Yugi said excitedly, and ran into the gameshop with Ryou behind him.

"Grandpa! How was your trip?" Yugi asked.

"Very intreasting."

"Grandfather, do you need help with your bags?" Ryou asked Sugoroku.

"No that's alright," then he went silent. "Yugi. Ryou. Do you know what today is?"

"Uhhhh, Friday?" Yugi asked.

"April?" Ryou gussed.

Sugoroku sweat dropped.

"Yes, well, that's true, but not what I meant."

"When Ryou gets grounded?"

"When Yugi get's braces?"

"I don't need braces!" Yugi pouted.

Sugoroku sighed.

"No. Today's your birthdays!"

"Oh, yeah," muttered Yugi and Ryou together.

"I broght each of you a gift from Egypt."

That got their excitment up.

"Really!?" Yugi asked excitedly.

"Yes. Here Ryou and Yugi."

Ryou carefully opened it and stared at the ring in amazement.

"They say it's the millenium ring," explained Sugoroku.

"Yeah! A new puzzle!" Yugi cheered as he looked at the golden pieces inside the golden box.

"I'm sorry it's in pieces as Ryou's is whole but....."

Before Sugoroku could finish, Yugi hugged him.

"It's alright! I already solved my other puzzles. This will be a great challenge. Thank you grandpa!"

"Yes, thank you. This was really nice of you grandfather," said Ryou as he slipped the ring around his neck.

"Well, it's your birthday and your both fourteen know. You both need something special instead of those other gifts."

"But I like them!" they both protested.

Sugoroku chuckled.

"I know. Now, go play, I have a cake to make."

"Chocolate?" both asked.

"Of course."

Both Ryou and Yugi high fived and ran out of the room. Sugoroku laughed.

'Those two are so energetic when there together.' ***************************************************************

In the shadows of the forest, Sintamo slipped through the forest, and soon was past the gate. He quickly, silently ran to the city.

'I'll find you. And will meet at last'

He came to the border and stopped. He felt nervous. He heard alot about the human city and they weren't good remarks. He summoned all his courage and started walking across the road. (Almost getting hit by five cars).

'What are those monstrous things?'

Sintamo studied the city and started in.

'Wait for me little brother. I really hope I can find you and meet you.' ***************************************************************

Yami: Yeah. Three.

Mijikai: I don't care! As long as I get reviews I will continue writing, because I know some people out there will be disappointed if I don't.

Yami: What ever.

Yugi: You're mean.

Yami: Yes, I am and I'm proud.

Yugi: (Sweat drop)
