Omg I just found an amazing song to go along with this story, and I had all these amazing scenes playing in my head while listening to it for the first time….. But I suck at drawing and therefore, unable to share any of these amazing scenes with all of you ;_; If you want to listen to the song it is 'Ever Ever After', by Carrie Underwood.

A Fairy Tale

Stubborn Yami

Solomon shook his head at the teen before him. How could someone who was obviously very intelligent not see what was right in front of him? Solomon was determined to make Yami see sense, whether he liked it or not.

The old man grinned when the front door opened and in walked his grandson. Yami looked up and his jaw hit the floor. This boy looked almost identical to him, except for a few minor differences.

Solomon stood. "Yugi! Where have you been all morning?"

Yamis look alike laughed a little. "Sorry, Grandpa. Ryou found a phoenix egg and we were taking care of it." The old man gave his grandson a warm smile.

"That's my boy. Phoenixes are very rare now a days. You boys make sure to keep that egg nice and warm. It would be nice if it hatched."

Yugi grinned at his grandfather and then noticed Yami. His face changed from happy to curious in an instant. "Who is this?"

Solomon smiled. "This is Yami. Yami this is my grandson, Yugi." Yugi looked confused for a moment before he gasped and launched himself at the unsuspecting human. Yami fell out of his chair, even though the smaller boy stopped short of tackling him. Yugi leaned over and pressed his nose against Yamis. "WOW. I've never met a human before. You must be the one King Nazeal had brought here."

Yamis face turned pink from the close proximity of the other male. HE pushed Yugi back a bit. "What in the world was that for! You almost tackled me!"

It was now Yugis turn to blush and he took a step back, giving the other male room to stand. "Sorry. I'm just really excited to meet a human. I've heard a lot of stories and seen pictures in books, but I've never seen one up close before."

"Yami looked confused. "What are you…?" But Solomon cut him off.

"Yami is the reason I wanted you home early. I want you to show him around and answer any questions he might have. I have a meeting to go to concerning Yami, but I think it would be better if he got to know this place. Besides, it will be easier to speak with the elf king with out a human there."

"Ok, Grandpa! Ill be sure to give him a complete tour!"

"HOLD IT!" They both turned to the now fuming Yami. "Old man, you tell me all this nonsense about magic and expect me to just believe it, and then you just hand me off to you grandson while you go decide my fate! I don't think so!"

Solomon laughed. "Keep your pants on, kid. You don't have much of a choice in the matter. You are still bound, are you not?" Yami was about to answer no when his legs were suddenly forced together and he crashed to the ground. "That's what I thought. If you want to be free I suggest you do as I say for now. Of course, I could always just leave you on the floor. You might make a good rug." Solomon laughed and Yugi gasped and helped Yami sit up.

"Are you ok?"

Yami pushed him away. "I don't need your help!" Yugi frowned but helped him stand anyway. Yami scowled at Solomon. "Fine. But don't expect me to believe that ridiculous story." Solomon just chuckled at Yami and left.

Yugi gave the human a smile. "Come on. I'll introduce you to my friends."

Yami groaned, but followed the small boy anyway. They left the house and traveled through what Yami now realized was a small village. The human boy felt on edge, everyone in the village was watching his every move. Yami, in a desperate attempt to get his mind off all the staring, decide to ask Yugi a few questions.

"So, what's all this talk about an 'elf king'?" Yugi looked up at him.

"What do you men? He's just the king of the elves."

Yami sighed. "What do you mean by elves? Short little people with pointy ears that make toys?"

Yugi doubled over with laughter. "No, silly. Is that what humans think of elves?"

"Sort of."

Yugi giggled some more and Yami noticed that the trees had become smaller, they had left the village. "Elves are pretty tall. They are a lot like human… well some of them. There are many kinds of elves. I've only ever met a few kinds of elves myself."

"Are you an elf to, then?"

Yugi laughed again. "No way. I'm defiantly not tall enough to be an elf! I'm a fairy."

Yami stopped and gave Yugi a strange look. "You're kidding."

"Nope."

"I though fairies were tiny women with butterfly wings."

Now it was Yugis turn to give Yami a strange look. "Humans really have weird ideas. If we were all women, how would we reproduce?"

Yami shrugged. "I have no idea. Mythical creatures aren't my strong suit."

"Really?"

"No. So are your friends fairies to?"

"No, but my best friend is half fairy and half Lythari.(1)" Yugi gave the human a grin. "So yes, fairies can reproduce with other races."

"You read my mind. What about your other friends?"

"Well Ryou is a nymph and Marik is an elf."

"A nymph? I'm assuming that what I know about nymphs are also wrong."

Yugi laughed. "Maybe. Nymphs are people who live in trees. They can never go very far from their tree, they will die if they are separated from their tree for to long."

Yami nodded. "Well, from what I know, that is pretty accurate to what humans believe, not that I'm believing any of this."

"That may be, but I think my friends and I will change your mind."

Yami hmphed and looked away from the smaller boy but when he looked back at him, Yugi had disappeared. Yami looked all around. Yugi had been standing next to him just a minute ago! He froze. What if Yugi had just left him out here? He had no idea where he was and no way to get help from civilization. Yami yelped when the bushed in front of him rustled.

Yugi poked his head from the bushes and smiled. "Come on. The forest is dangerous for outsiders." Yami scowled and followed Yugi into a large clearing.

-oOOo-

(1) – A Lythari is a kind of elf that can turn into a wolf at will. They are not like werewolves because Lythari keep their mind and sense when they transform, but many elves and other races consider them to be lower creatures.

Gah! It took me long enough to update. . And I'm sorry for the short chapter. Next one will be longer! AND! Next chapter I'm finally going to introduce Yugi's friends!
