Amethyst Silence ON HIATUS

by Rasenramen

Yugi is a tall shy boy who never talked. He could only talk through his paintings, his way of showing people why he did in his life. Until one day a strange puzzle and spirit entered his life, managing to coax Yugi to speak. Why has this happened? Why now? Yugi wonders if there's more he can do with his life besides painting. (More about the past then painting at this point.)

Yugi got home, sighing. He sat at the table, laying his head down. His mother came in, smelling like flour. She set a tray of oatmeal cookies down.

"Eat up okay?"

Yugi glanced at the cookies. He took one and ate it. His mom smiled, seeing the delight in her son's eyes. "Don't eat them all now. You'll get sick." He ate a few more then went up to his room, shutting the door. He sat on his bed, throwing his backpack on the floor. He sighed.

Yami appeared, sitting on the bed. "What do you plan to do now?"

Yugi shrugged, looking at his paintings. Yami followed his gaze, quirking an eyebrow.

"You want to paint again? Is that all you do?"

Yugi stood up. "Niisan!"

That caught Yami's attention. He gasped. "I'm sorry! That was rude of me!" He vanished.

Yugi poked the puzzle.

/Niisan?/ No response.

Yugi frowned, and was about to speak when his door opened. His mom peeked in. "Yugi? Who are you talking to?"

Yugi responded with, "Nissan."

His mother gasped, covering her mouth. "Dear. You...he can't be with us anymore. He's in a better place." Yugi shook his head, pointing at the puzzle.

"Nissan." He repeated.

His mother frowned. "You're saying your brother is there?"

Yugi nodded. Walking in, the woman squinted at the puzzle. "Hirosuki? Are you in there?! Have you been troubling my son? Why haven't you spoken to me?"

The artifact flashed, before an older looking version of Yugi with red eyes appeared.

"I am not who you speak of. I am however, someone who is representing Yugi's brother. Which is why he calls me Niisan."

Yugi's mother tilted her head. "I see. Well please make sure you take care of him like a big brother would. Or I'm going to have to go all sass mother on you!"

Yami blinked. She laughed and left the room, waving. Closing the door, she shook her head. 'How did this happen? I don't understand who he is but Yugi seems to trust him...' She decided to talk to Sugouroku about it.

Yami stared at the door, twitching. 'That was close. It could've been a lot worse...'

A faint knock came from downstairs. The door opened, and the voices of Sugouroku and Anzu were heard. Yami switched with Yugi. He immediately went downstairs, where Anzu saw him.

"Hi Yugi! I came to visit! By the way, your painting is hanging in my room! I love it!"

Shy, Yugi looked at anything but her. His mother came in, pushing him towards Anzu.

"You have fun now."

Yugi stumbled into Anzu and she caught him. They both blushed, and let go very quickly

. Yugi's mother shooed them out the door. "Go along now! See you tonight!"

She shut the door behind them, smiling smugly. 'Tee hee. They're cute together.' With that, she walked off, wondering what sort of things Yugi would do on an awkward date with the girl he likes.
