What if his friends see him change, would they think of him as a freak? "Or will they accept me" Yugi slowed down and grunted when he realized that his friends already made plans to go to his house without a second thought. "Well I guess it makes sense they have never been there…" He stopped and found that he was home. "I need to find something that can hide my feathers" He then disappeared inside the house.
It was 6:50 and Yugi's friends rang the door-bell. While inside Yugi looked at his reflection, "Well better than nothin'" he said and walked down the stairs to the metal-well painted- door and finally opened it. "Hey Yugi," the four greeted in unison, but stopped dead silent at Yugi's attire. Yugi wore a black hat that covered part of his right eye, a black cape tied around his neck, and his infamous tight black leather. "Hey guys!" Yugi greeted back with a smile. They walk in with their text books with sweatdrops, but didn't say anything. "Let's hit the books!" The tri-colored haired boy cheered and pushed the unspoken ones to the living room couch where they cracked open the books. The room was spacious and neat for a house in the closed off clearing of a roadside forest. It had a three-person couch, a lounge chair on top of a red floor rug, a black lush carpet trailed along the floor meeting each end. The room had a few more perks such as a flip out flat screen above the fireplace. Other secrets to the room should be revealed in surprise.
It was finally 8:58 "Just 2 more minutes then I'll transform," the mew thought to himself. "I got to go to the bathroom" Yugi rushed to leave but a hand grabbed him, it was Ryou. The other three stood up and looked with worry clear as day on their faces. 8:59; Yugi's birthmark stared glowing faintly. "Leave me" he struggled to get out of the albino's grip.
It reached 9:00, Yugi winched in pain from his birthmark as it started glowing a gray-blue color. Yugi's friends gasped and Ryou let go of Yugi and the tri-colored haired teen collapsed onto the floor. Within seconds his grey ears popped up pushing his hat away until it settled. His fury lush tail grew out and whipped away the cape allowing the gray furred tail to play freely in the air freely. 9:01 the glow died and silence consumed the room. Yugi sighed in exhaustion and turned and turned to the front door. Joey stopped him by blocking the door, a confused expression on his face. Yugi hissed, "Out of my way mortal I have business." Joey was shocked by the reply but more surprised when he saw Yugi's teeth were now a cloudy gray-color. The blond boy hesitated, "N-no. Yugi what are you?" he yelled and looked at his friends for support; not getting any good responses. The mew's clouded eyes flared in anger and sadness, "I'm a mew and I've always been and will be forever until murdered." He conformed with a monotone voice, as if he's said that time and time again. Suddenly Anzu spoke up, "Wait! You mean like those nekos? Cat-people?" rummaging inside her backpack she pulled out a sktech book, "Here a friend gave this to me when she moved away. I keep it for good luck her grandmother drew these and she drew the colored ones." Yugi grabbed the book, a cautious expression smeared over his face. As he flipped through his eyes widened. These were actually mews! The way he could tell was by the birthmark was draw in great detail somewhere in the body. The gray mew's eyes hardened at a picture of two adult mews in full form against the enemy-he still has to work on a name-. Not letting his human emotions cause him to start crying-no, he wasn't going to start now- he look away. Closing the book Yugi threw it into the barely lit fireplace, watching it burn slowly while hiding his eyes in his bangs. His friends cried out at the very non-Yugi-thing he did. Yami clamped his hands on Yugi's shoulders only to be swatted away, claws almost hitting their mark. "Yugi…" the taller tri-colored haired teen whispered, "Speak to us please…"
Yugi shot up his head, grey ears twitching, and tail-stiff. He calmed himself down before walking over to the wall switches. "I can't…" he flipped open the panel on the flip-side and typed in a command. A special remedy for humans that found out a mew's safe-zone started to gas out of the walls. Yugi's friends-or possible ex-friends-coughed before their vision became a blur, the mew watched before he burst past the automatic closing doors on all fours, face devoid of emotion; all but determination.
The gray-tailed teen dashed along the ground, hiding in the shadows, eyes like flashlights showed him the way. As his ear picked up on signals his human mind drifted. What if they were pretending they cared? Would his friends treat him like the animal he looks like if he doesn't erase their memory? When questioning himself…
Had he just exposed his kind to humans, at risk for his own selfishness?
