Yugi: The author does not own anything, except the plot. Enjoy!


~Chapter One~

Yugi was walking home from school, alone. He shivered from the cold air in winter. His eyes looked to the ground as he walked. they use to be fill with happiness and purity, but they're hollow and dark. Yugi arrived home, but no greetings from his grandfather is heard. He dragged his feet to his room and opened the door. He fell to the floor and rested his head against the edge of his bed. He looked at the once perfect puzzle is now in broken apart. A tear slipped down his eye and dripped from his chin.

A shadow watched Yugi in the room. He quietly walked behind the crouching figure. "Why do you cry sweet one?" asked the dark fingure.

Yugi stiffen and slowly turned his head. Just from the little light, he could the man's features. The exact same hairstyles as Yugi, but his bangs were greyish-white. His eyes are same as Yami, only in golden color.

Yugi backed up to the corner of the room, he shivered. Thinking that this person should hurt him. He flinched as the other patted his head.

"I won't hurt you.." He said.

Yugi looked up slowly. He thinned his lips, "How can you be so sure." He asks.

The man smiled, "Because I am Yami's shadow." He replied.

The smaller's eyes widen, "What?" He asks.

The chuckled and sat beside Yugi. "I was born because Yami abandoned you and betrayed your love for him." He explained.

The taller man and Yugi stared at each other. Yugi frowned and looked away. The man sighed, "I know you don't trust me, at least give me a chance to, besides we just met." He said.

"Only once chance, cause I don't trust anyone." Said Yugi.

"My name is Kuro." He said and smiled.


Yami was at the arcade with his friends. He felt a chill down his spine and frowned. 'Am I forgetting something or is something coming up?' He thought.

"Sweetie, is there something wrong?" Tea asks.

Yami smiled, "Nothing, I just felt a chill down my spine." He replied.

Tea frowned, but smiled, "Let's go over to Joey and the others!"Sha happily took Yami's to drag him to their friends.

Yami went back to his thoughts and maybe could ask Yugi about it. "Yugi can you hear me?" He tried to talk, but was blocked out. He shrugged and thought maybe Yugi was busy.


~Somewhere else~

"Atem did you feel that?"

"Yea, looks like we have to head back to Japan."

"Heba, Yugi might be in more danger this time."

Heba's eyes sadden, "I know. I should have not left my brother alone." He said.

Atem hugged his boyfriend, "Shh...Yami is a cruel person to for get about Yugi and his friends as well." Said Atem.

"Why does Yugi always suffer? Why can't he lived a normal life with us. Atem, why?!" Heba cried and fell to his knees. Atem hushed and tried to calm Heba.

"We're leaving Eygpt in one week, so we have to pack up." Atem said and Heba nodded, following the tanned man back inside the house.


Few days later, Yugi and Kuro became friends. When Yugi comes home, Kuro should tend to his wounds and try to cheer him up. His grandfather went with Professor Hopkins to an exhibition in Egypt for three months. Before he left he asked Yugi to forgive him for ignoring him. Yugi smiled and forgave his grandpa, after he is his only family in Japan for now.

Yugi sighed as he stumbled into his room. He tried to focus, but the injuries from his bullies were worser then before. He fell forward and was about to hit the ground until Kuro caught him.

"Yugi, you have to let me go with you to school." Kuro begs as he tends to the smaller's wounds.

Yugi shook his head, "I can't Yami will get suspicious." He replied.

Kuro sighed, "Yugi, I don't care. I need to protect you from the likes of them. They're the ones who hurt you." Kuro angrily said.

Yugi looked down, "Promise me this," He asks, "Don't tell anyone where you came from. Just tell them that you we're an orphan and don't remember anything about yourself." Explained Yugi.

Kuro nodded, "I promise. I think it would be better if I tied my hair to looked a bit different I guess?" He suggested.

"I guess, but it's hard tied an anti-gravity hairstyle." The smaller joked.

Kuro laughed,"But it's not that bad to try." He replied.

Yugi smiled and laid on his bed. He wasn't feeling well, so he might as well take a nap. His homework is done already.

Kuro looked at Yugi's sleeping form. He leaned down and kissed his cheek. "You will become mind Yugi. Soon, I will bring you with me." He said and disappears.


Me: It's done!

Yugi: Kuro's creepy.

Me: Hey! It's my character I made.

Yugi: Oh well...

Me: Thank you for reading! Plz R&R!
