Chapter Twenty
It had been over a week since the evening Yugi revealed his emotions to everyone. There were a lot of tears shed that night and a lot of pain and fear laid out for everyone to see. Though it did help getting some of the pain off his heavy heart, the burden was still there. The Trade Day was today and Yugi was anxious to start, for by the end of the day it would be known weather or not this trade would locate the last card they needed. Yugi pulled on a clean shirt and slipped the chain of the puzzle over his head then headed down the steps to see if Gichan had opened the shop yet.
The Trade started as soon as the shop opened its doors. Surgoroku stepped out the door to the shop to sweep the welcome mat as he did on any normal day. Soon Yugi appeared behind him yawning from the early hour of his wake. Maybe it was also the unspoken agreement with his mind that Yugi would not fall asleep the night before the trade. Surgoroku chuckled at the zombified grandson he had moping around the shop and continued sleeping while he stood. Soon Anzu arrived followed close by Ryou. Honda showed not to long after. Jou however took awhile before he made it to the shop. He was even more unawake then Yugi had been.
It wasn't long after the shop was open and Jou had finally arrived, that hopeful card traders began to show up. Everyone sat behind the counters eager to help the customers with a potential trade. Surgoroku had already explained to everyone one what kind of trades he would except. Of course he wanted all trades to be fair and final. Yugi sat still drowsy waiting for someone to strike up a deal with him.
There were people in and out through out the entire day for the trade. It almost seemed like the busiest day they had ever had. At times there were so many people that they were lined up. Surgoroku was nearly over whelmed, and was beginning to think he should have Trade Day more often. It did seem to be quite popular.
It was a while before the traffic into the store slowed. Soon after customers seemed to dwindle Yugi decided to take a look at what was accomplished. There didn't seem to be any cards that would be the one he needed. It was very disappointing but Yugi tried not to let it get to him, the day was not over yet. He decided to check on Jou since he seemed to be grumbling about something.
"Doushta Jounoch-kun?" Yugi asked leaning over the counter.
"When are we gonna get lunch?" Jou slouched down in his chair.
"All the customers are nearly gone; we can close the shop for lunch time as soon as they all leave." Yugi said.
"Good I'm so hungry!" Yugi went back to him seat and waited as the customers thinned out. After the last one left Surgoroku decided it would be okay if they closed just so everyone could eat lunch. Jou wasn't the only one who was relieved. Just as Surgoroku got up to lock the door a younger kid walked in.
"I'm not too late am I?" He said. Jou frowned. Would they ever get to eat?
"You guys go on and eat. I will take care of this customer and then I will be right behind you." Yugi said. No one argued. It had been a long morning and everyone was hungry. They all left the shop to get some food and Surgoroku followed close behind.
"Lock up when you come to join us Yugi." He said throwing him the keys, and then he walked up the stairs to the house.
"I'm not a bother am I?" The boy said a little embarrassed he caused Yugi to be left behind.
"Not at all, so what can I do for you?"
