XLIX. All Over Again
The gang appeared at Domino due to Halakti's teleportation powers. To their surprise, the city was covered with dark mist and the people are not here. Everyone wonders where they went and so they start their search
"I wonder where all the people went" Mai said as they continued walking
"I don't know" Kristine added
"..." Yugi said in silence
"It would be better if we go to Yugi's house and see if Grandpa's alright" Jounouchi said and everyone agrees while Yugi has absolutely no idea
- - -
Meanwhile, Dark Nite is rummaging the cards he wants to use. He didn't know why but it seems that he was in a serious look on his face. As he was reconstructing his deck, he sensed something really odd as if he was fogetting something
"This feeling...could it be..nahhh" Dark Nite said as he was still building his deck
- - -
Back at the gang, they arrived at Yugi's house. As they went in, it seems that nobody was in the house and they wonder where everyone went. They didn't notice that Yugi was going upstairs and it leads to his room. Atemu on the other hand followed Yugi as well when the others are searching for any people in the house
"This place...looks familiar.." Yugi said as he looked around. He has no idea that this is his room then he began to inspect some of the objects in the room. There he spotted a picture of himself and his friends and wonders if the picture was him
"This picture...arrrghhhhh" Yugi said as he felt a backstabbing pain all over his head
"Yugi!" Atemu said rushing to his side and then he noticed there was a white crystal ball appeared in front of them
"Is this a memory crystal?" the pharaoh asked looking at the shining ball of light. At the same time, Yugi's headache was ceased
"...It's beautiful" Yugi said as his eyes fell on the crystal.
He touched it and like a little boy, he played the ball then suddenly it popped like a bubble. Flahbacks of his memory began to whirl around his head then just like getting hit by a volleyball, he fell on the floor
"Yugi, are you alright?" Atemu said, surveying his body
"...Yugi? That's my name.. I lived with ...grandpa...Puzzle...Puzzle...gift...protect" Yugi said, looking very insane. Atemu had a big question mark in his head that he has no idea what he was talking about then he turn his face the pharaoh
"Darkness..mou hitori no boku...no friends ..lonliness I don't...I " Yugi stuttred and the pharaoh didn't know what to expect next
"I...have no friends... only Anzu..tease... mock NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yugi cried and everyone heard Yugi's shout so they all went up
"What going on?" Jounouchi asked as Yugi fell on his knees while Atemu hugs him instinctively
"I found a memory crystal in his room and apparently, one of his memories were restored but..."Atemu said as Yugi continues to cry
"...Uhhhh if you're talking about the beginning.. it's really bad" Jounouchi said amd everyone stared at him
"Based on what Anzu said, Yugi has no friends... he's been teased and bullied all the time. Worse of all, it all went to high school" he said
"I think that would be enough" Kristine said and Yugi kept hugging Atemu as one of his eyes restored its color
"By the way, we found a note of Yugi's grandpa says that theye're not here and is now hiding where the darkness couldn't get them" Kaiba said as the pharaoh wipehis partner'stears
"That's a relief well we better go find Yugi's memories then" Atemu said and all of them left the house
- - -
All of them left Yugi's house and wonders where will they go next. Based on what Halakti said, they have to find the memory crystal and they were able to have a good start.
"Well, at least one of Yugi's memories were restored so what's next" Malik asked
"If we think all the hangouts we go, we might find a clue" Jounouchi said
"How about the school we used to attend" Bakura said
"Hmph..what ever" Kaiba grunted and now they're on the way to Domino school
When they arrived, it was deserted and the wind blew all the dirt away. They entered the school gates and there was no sign of any life as it sems like a haunted house. Jounouchi shuddered at this for he has the fear of ghosts(A/N: I like that when he's spooked). As they entered the school gates, it was not that lively
"Why don't we go to our old classroom?" Bakura suggested and all of them went to thier old classroom. Malik, Mai, and Kristine didn't expect to see a school where Yugi and the others enrolled but for the others it was old memories.
Yugi was looking around the classroom then he touched one of the tables with his finger. It was dirty due to the fact that there were no occupants in this place.
"I never thought I would go back to this place. This brings back old times" Kaiba said as he stared the room then out of the blue a cystal appeared in front of him
"Excuse me but... is this a memory crystal you guys were talking about?" he asked and everyone stares
"Yeah, that's it!" Atemu said and Yugi was smiling, seeing the beautiful object again. As usual he played with it and it popped then another whirl of flashback memories appeared inside his head. Everyone wonders what will happen to their friend
"...Domino school ...bullies ...I want... to...protect...Jounouchi...Honda...mou hitori no boku" Yugi said and Jounouchi cocked his eyebrow, wondering if he remembers his name and who he was
"Defend...puzzle...thrown away...my first friend...mou hitori no boku...protector...Anzu...Duel Monsters...Ryou" Yugi said again then it fade. As a result, another color was restored in his eyes then turns to Jounouchi and Bakura
"Jounouchi...Bakura yes I know you guys you're my friends..." he said with happiness and they were all glad that he was able to recognize at least one of them
"So are we finished here?" Kaiba asked
"Yeah..." the pharaoh said and they left Domino School
- - -
"My head hurts" Yugi complained as he clutched his head while they're on their way to Kaibacorp. where Yugi battled Kaiba for the first time. Of course, he has no idea but the pharaoh noticed that everytime he gets his memories, the more he remembers himself. They didn't waste any time for everyting depends on them
"I hope we get all his memories back.." Atemu said, getting a bit worried
"We don't have to worry besides it's not like someone is after us" Malik said, assuring them
"I hope you're right 'cause I don't want delays" Kaiba said coldly to the group but little did they know that they were wrong. For that, there was something lurking in the shadows as they continued their way to Kaibacorp.
