Kings Are Blind
Grandpa paced back and forth on the floor of the hotel room, while Yugi kept imagining images of Yami in his head. Both were still thinking of ways to trick Yami.
Yugi spun around in his chair to face his Grandpa "What if…like…he found out I had some kind of incurable disease? Like…AIDS! Or…diabetes?"
Grandpa eyed him "Yugi, you're too skinny to be a diabetic, and too healthy-looking for an immune disease. Come on, now."
"Or…I could tell him I was an abandoned orphan and I desperately need somewhere to live because the orphanages are all full?" Yugi said proudly.
"If you're an orphan, then where do I come into play?" Grandpa asked
Yugi's shoulders slumped "Good point…"
Grandpa pulled out a chair to sit next to his grandson "Why don't you just write him a nice letter explaining everything that happened. And I do mean everything."
Yugi propped his elbow on the table "Like…solving the puzzle…and all those villains and tournaments, and then going to Egypt and the afterlife thing? Which was obviously defective…"
"Yes," Grandpa answered
"That would be an increasingly long letter, don't you think?"
Grandpa stood and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from one of his bags and placed it on the table in front of Yugi. "Start,"
Yugi mumbled angry noises and began writing.

Yami watched as Shimon gathered around a bunch of his guards.
"Alright now," Shimon started "This little boy is from Japan, so he is obviously here on vacation. Check every hotel in the general area. I'm sure he didn't go too far!"
Yami sighed from his throne and crossed his legs. This was going to be a long day.

Yugi put down his pen and wiggled his cramping fingers.
"Grandpa," He moaned "My hand is hurting!"
Grandpa rolled his eyes and resumed his seat next to the whining boy "What do you have so far? Read it to me."
"Okay," Yugi sighed
Dear Yami,
This is Yugi. Yugi Moto. I'm 18 years old and live in Domino, Japan, with my Grandpa at the Turtle Game Shop. One day, he went on an archeological dig through your tomb and found your millennium puzzle, where your spirit resided after you sealed it away to save the world from destruction. After I solved the puzzle, you and I met and you became apart of me. We both had soul rooms inside of my mind. I know that sounds freaky, but it's true. In the beginning, I was afraid of you because you used to kill people. It wasn't very nice. Then my grandpa got his soul stolen by some guy named Maximillion Pegasus. I hope that name sounds familiar.
Yugi put the paper down "That's all I got so far,"
Grandpa's wide eyes stared at Yugi as he quoted his grandson "My Grandpa went on an archeological dig through your tomb!? And…I was afraid of you because you used to kill people? Yugi, what in the world is that going to make him think?"
Yugi looked angry "You said write everything!"
Grandpa threw his arm down "Well don't give the poor boy a heart attack thinking he's dead…or…or some kind of murderer!"
Yugi slumped down in his chair, arms folded. He mumbled and grumbled under his breath.
Grandpa placed a hand on his shoulder "Why don't you go for a walk or something, okay? I'll makes us some dinner. How does that sound?"
"Fine," Yugi said moodily, and stood up and walked out.
"Be back before 5!" Grandpa yelled as the door slammed shut.
Yugi didn't have to go far. He got down into the lobby only to see some strange looking guys holding swords talking sweetly to the lady at the reception desk.
"Oh no," Yugi said under his breath. He recognized them immediately. "What are Yami's guards doing here?"
One of them happened too look over at him, only to shriek and point his sword in Yugi's direction. "There he is!" He shouted "That's him!"
Yugi's eyes widened as he attempted to run away, but felt his arm being grabbed and yanked backwards.
The guards held him securely as he stared up at them, terrified, and also possibly in need of some new pants.
"Okay!" Yugi cried, tears now coming down his face "Don't hurt me! I'm sorry! I won't ever go near Yami or the palace again! Y-you can have all my money! Just leave me alone!"
The guards watched as Yugi threw dollar bills and change onto the floor.
Yugi went on rambling about how he was just an innocent little boy, who wasn't even really a little boy, and how sorry he was, that he didn't hear one of the guards yelling at him.
"HEY!" The guard screamed
Yugi stopped instantly and looked up at him. "Y-y-yes…sir?"
"You're not in trouble, kid. King Yami personally requested that we come find you. He wants to see you." The guard answered, his voice relaxed and non-threatening.
Yugi giggled "Heh..heh heh…of course he does! I knew that!"
Another guard picked up his money and handed it back to him "Now, come with us. Yami's waiting,"
Yugi jumped up excitedly "Can I just go get something first?"
"Sure,"
Yugi scurried up to his room, hugged his grandpa while hurriedly explaining what had happened. He grabbed the letter and ran out.
Ooookay! There it is! Now read it! Love it! Review it!
Don't make me beg.
