Enjoy and please review.

Telling his mom about his increased eating habit, was easier said than done. He had mentally prepare himself to tell her everything, but the moment dinner was set, his confidence few right out the window. Well, he though, if I can't tell her, I guess I'll just have to show her. It was on his third hamburger that Yuina (his mother) looked at her son in puzzlement.

"Yugi, that's your third hamburger, sweetie. I know they're your favorite, but slow down. Have you even tasted your food?" Yuina's tone change from a joking one to a serious one, "did someone steal your lunch today, is that why your so hungry?"

"Mom, it's been 3 months since someone stole my lunch . . . um . . . in fact I ate my lunch. . . hehehe . . . I ate all the lunches . . . Also can I have another hamburger?" Yugi ended, but more quietly.

After that revelation, he was a bit nervous to look his mother in the eyes. So, he kept looking at his hands. He expected to see fear, worry, or disappointment for not telling her sooner. But, when he finally had the nerve to look at her; she express none of these emotions; she oddly looked a bit nostalgic.

"Your dad had a big appetite. In fact, he could triple the amount of food you're eating. I swear he had a blackhole for a stomach. I guess you not only inherited a tail like your dad's, but his love of food as well."

Said tail was swaying back and forth in excitement; showing visual how Yugi felt, "So, this is normal for me!"

"Yes, I always wonder if you would gain an appetite like your dad. I guess that answers my question. Actually, if it wasn't for food, I may have never meet your dad. I had cooked a meal for your grandpa and I. I left the food to cool down a bit and grab some plates for us."

"Heheh,I came back to see the meal that took hours to make, gone! This strange young man was eating the food with his bare hands! Ohhh, I was so mad to be afraid, that I hit him with the first thing I saw, a ladle."

"Hehehe, I guess I can thank dad for introducing you to the ladle." Yugi was a bit shock, but overjoy with his mother story. He didn't know too much about him, sadly his father passed away when he was one; but every time Yugi asked about him; his mother would always avoid the question. Telling Yugi she'll tell him about his father when he was older.

This is great! If I knew mom would tell stories about dad, I would have brought up my eating habit sooner. I'm 16, maybe now she'll tell me everything!

"Whathappenafterwardsmom?Whywashethere?Whywouldheeatwithhisbarehands?Howdidhe getinthehouse?Whatabouthisparents?"

"Yugi, wait your talking too fast. I'm not-"

"What happen afterwards mom? Why was he there? Why would he eat with his bare hands? How did he get in the house? What about his par-"

"Yugi, enough!" She felt bad raising her voice, but she had to get his attention. She took a deep breath and continue. "Look, I know you think your ready to hear everything about your dad, but trust me; your not. I'll tell you when your older. Now what would you like on your hamburger?"

"WHAT!" Yuina and Sugoroku both jump at the volume and anger coming from Yugi's voice. "Why can't I know about dad! You always avoid my questions! You give the excuse that I won't understand stand till I'm older! I'm 16! I'm NOT a child anymore! What's so wrong in wanting to know about DAD!?" Yugi yelled and slam his fists onto the table.

There was an uncomfortable silence. No one knew what to do or say; Yugi was never an aggressive person. He felt so ashamed and his anger . . . his anger, it felt so foreign to him. Sure he felt anger before (especially when looking at a full moon, to his puzzlement), but the anger he felt a few minutes ago; almost felt "beast" like . . . and it terrified him.

Yugi's body when on autopilot and ran to his room, leaving the two family members still in shock. It was Sugoroku who finally broke the silence.

"Well, it looks like his got his father's strength too," he said looking at the cracks on the table, where Yugi's fist were a few moments ago. "Yuina-"

"I don't want to hear it dad. He's not old enough, he wouldn't understand."

"Yuina . . . I know your afraid to tell Yugi, afraid of his reaction to the truth, but you can't hide the truth forever. He's right, he deserves to know." Sugoroku paused, debating how to phased his next words. He knew without some kind of push, her fears would paralyze her to take any action.

"I've said nothing to him out of respect to your decision of telling him yourself. He needs to hear this from you. But, it doesn't look like it's gonna happen anytime soon or at all. I'll give you till the end of summer. After that, if Yugi ask me, I'll tell him." Sugoroku got up from his chair and fixed a plate for his grandson.

"Aibou, please, come out" Yami called out, but once again he was met with silence. He was quite shock with his partner's response to his mother, but before he could confront Yugi, Yugi hid in his soul room; leaving a surprise Yami in control of his host body. Yami, just sat on the ground in silence, he wasn't used to being in control (unless there was a duel).

The only sound that could be heard was the thumping of his tail. Yugi's tail was always odd to Yami. He never though Yugi was weird for having one; it just always felt foreign to him. Because of this, he didn't have the greatest control over said appendage.

If Yami got too emotional, the tail would unravel, leaving him frustrated and manually wrapping it around his waist. However, he didn't care what it did right now.

Knock Knock . . . "Yugi can I come in?"

"Yes, grandpa"

"Yugi I- oh, hello Yami," Even though he was the spirit of the puzzle, Sugoroku consider him as a second grandson. While Sugoroku did notice the changes between Yugi and Yami, he didn't confront them about it till after his soul was return to his body. After hearing their story (and making sure Yami wasn't a danger to Yugi), he thanked Yami for protecting Yugi and automatically dubbed Yami as his second grandson (much to the spirits protest and gratitude).

"How is Yugi?"

"He is feeling extremely guilty for yelling at his mother like that, however I felt that his actions were justified. He may not show it, but it hurts him not knowing who his father was. . . Grandpa, why doesn't his mother tell him about his father?" Yami was a bit mad at Yugi's mother, by not knowing his father, Yugi felt there was a piece of him missing. Yami could understand that pain quite well, he has no memories of his past; and while Yugi tried his best to make him feel welcome, a part of him always felt incomplete.

"Grandpa! What are you doing? Please take the chair, sitting on the ground is bad for your back."

"Oh hush Yami, I may be old but I'm not fragile. Is it so wrong to want to sit next to my grandson?" He had a playful look on this eye, "Here, I brought you some food, I wouldn't be surprise if you still a bit hungry."

"Grandpa I'm no-", ~grumble~, "Alright, I'll have a bit" Yami respond, taking the plate from his grandpa, and hoping the red checks weren't too noticeable.

"Yami, it's a parents job to care and protect their child from harm. And tho, we can't protect them from everything, that still doesn't stop us from trying. But, sometimes in doing so, we cause more harm than good. Yuina fears that certain aspects of Yugi's dad could change the way he views himself in a negative way, that's way she's been avoiding his questions."

"She may be right grandpa; knowing this information may cause Yugi some pain, but that pain will pass. He's stronger than she's giving him credit for."

"Your quite right Yami, tho I have a feeling she will come around. Please past what I said to you to Yugi."

The switch and immediate, where Yami was Yugi took his place. It appears he was listening to me. Yugi look at his Grandpa; there were tears threatening to fall, "I'm sorry for yellin-"

"I understand your frustration Yugi, however I am not the one you need to apologize to. Now help this old man up.

Before Sugoroku left, Yugi stop him, "Grandpa, mom said you were there when you first met . . . can you tell me a bit more?" Yugi was unsure if grandpa would say anything, especially after his outburst.

"Heheh, alright," Grandpa replied. Since his daughter mention that story already, he didn't feel he was breaking his ultimatum. "We were in African when this happen. This was during my trip around the world to find all sorts of games for the store. I came back to your mom and a stranger yelling at each other. I didn't know who to fear more for, hahahah. He kept coming back for your mother's cooking, but your mother refused to give him any, unless he said "please" and "thank you." Your father was a proud man, and refused to give into those "demands." Of course that didn't last longer than a day."

"Heheheh, no one can say no to mom's cooking."

"You got that right. It's getting late Yugi, time for this old man to hit the hay. Goodnight Yugi."

"Goodnight grandpa."

Yugi, waited till his grandpa left to talk to Yami, "Yami, do you know what this means!"

"Umm . . . your mother and father meet in Africa? . . ."

"Exactly! All this time I've search for dad in Domino city. Mom told me Africa was the first stop on their "Search for amazing games" trip. Now I have new places to search for!"

"This is excellent news Yugi! However it is a school night, and if we get detention for being late, I doubt your mother will even let you be near a computer."

"Right. Good night Yami."

"Good night Yugi."
