Evelyn: I do not own Yu-gi-oh
Chapter Four
Yugi was breathing lightly while laying on something soft. Something warm was covering him and he heard light
chatter going on around him. Oh, I'm in a bed. He thought. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't move. His
eyelids were just soooo heavy. He could only just lay there until finally the loud sound of heavy foot steps
suddenly stomping around next to him surprised him. That caught his attention enough to open his eyes.
The small teen's vision was blurry for a moment, but he heard footsteps scattering in every direction, when he
came to, there were four people looking over him.
One he recognized as the blond man that carried him to who knows where, the other was someone who was
dressed like a guard, he had brown hair that came to a single small spike, another was someone in a lab coat,
must be a doctor, and the last one was the girl that made him leap off the wall when it collapsed on his home.
His eyes were suddenly wide and he sat straight up, "My home!" First, sitting up was a mistake, he ached all over
but he didn't care, second, his voice was so loud it even scared himself. The doctor tried to push him back down
gently and he obeyed, "Sorry, but you need to rest. Take things slow for now, okay?" She said. Yugi gave a slight
nod and quietly said, "Where am I?"
As if on cue, the door opened again, the man with the crimson eyes from the night before walked through,
"What's with all the noi-" He stopped in mid sentence and rushed to Yugi's side along with everyone else once he
realized what the noise was about. "Why didn't you tell me he was awake?" The red haired doctor answered, "He
just woke up a couple minutes ago. Give him some space everyone. Joey, Triston, go fetch me some water from
the lake. We're on a low supply."
Triston jumped up, "Yes Serenity." Joey followed him out the door, "We'll be back in about an hour."
Once the room was less crowded the man with almost the same exact hair as the tri-haired teen sat down beside
him on the bed. He took in a small breath, but before he could say anything, the petite girl jumped up and said,
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know that it was your home! We just-" her eyes were swelling up with water, but the man
cut her off, "Mana, calm down! He's hurt and needs quiet." He said in a stern but hushed voice. The tears on
Mana's eyes were threatening to roll down her cheeks, but she nodded and waited for the man to have his turn
to speak.
He stared at Yugi with a sincere look in his eyes, "I'm so sorry about what happened. We were trying to free your
city, and the operation was a success, but my condolence's on the sacrifice of your home. We were unaware it
was being lived in until it was too late. And as for your relative that was living with you..." His eyes were full of
sorrow for the young boy, but Yugi got the gist of what he was saying and looked away.
"I... I'm glad the city is free... but..." He couldn't think about it, his home, his grandfather, everything thing just
crumbled to pieces. But it was for a noble cause. He wasn't sure if he had it in him to hold it against them, after all
Yugi never had it in him to hold a grudge. And it was his mistake, he should have kept the shop up so it would
look nice, but he found no point because he thought he would be trapped there forever.
"I don't blame you... for what happened... but I think I will need some time..." he finally said after a moment that
seemed to last ages. The young boy turned to him, "My name is Yugi." He gave a weak smile to be polite, but his
eyes were full of sorrow. No one in the room could really blame the boy, after all, he woke up in a tent and was
told he lost everything.
"Ah," The man was surprised at this, most people wouldn't be able to take this kind of loss as maturely as this boy
did. "My name is Yami, this is Mana and Serenity." The girls gave a small wave to him. Yugi sat up again from his
bed and Serenity twitched, but she let him do what he wanted until it seemed like it would be too much for him.
"So you freed the city..." Yami gave a small nod and almost jumped from shock when he saw Yugi preform a small
bow, "Thank you so much," but holding his own weight became too much for him so he started falling forward. The
older man caught him quickly and sat him back up straight, "You need to rest. I'll be back to visit you first thing in
the morning." Yugi laid back down and gave a small nod.
He watched Yami and Mana exit the room before getting lost in his thoughts.
Serenity placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "I know you have a lot on your mind, but please try to sleep. I
promise you will feel better in the morning." She gave him a sincere smile. Yugi didn't believe her but what choice
did he have. He obediently closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Evelyn: Next chapter, I'll finally introduce some more characters, and as for Serenity being the doctor... that will be explained later!
