This is a "The Pharao got his own body and Yugi is ignored by his friends"-fic, with a SRMTHFG twist.

Yugi runs away after he's ignored by his friends and left alone after his Grandpa's death. In America, he meets a very unusual family. A few years later, he comes back to Domino, with a new family, new friends and still boiling anger on his old friends. What will happen?

Neither Yu-Gi-Oh nor SRMTHFG belongs to me.

R&R please.

The next few days passed in a blur for Yugi. Ever since the medics had taken Antauri to the hospital, he'd been in intensive care. Apparently the dagger had hit a few vital organs on its way to penetrate the silver-haired man's body. No one had been allowed to see him, which tore a the entire family's nerves.

Chiro was a nervous wreck most of the time and Jinmay stressed out in trying to be there for him and her own worry. Nova, well if you valued your life, you didn't cross her. Not even Sprx, who she was the closest too, could get close to her safely. Not that he tried a lot. The red-head had retreated into himself, much like Otto. The green-haired man was as gloomy as one could be, not matching his actual personality at all. The only one who knew a bit about Antauri's condition was Gibson. Not that the man gained any good from it. If anything he was almost more nervous than Chiro. And Yugi himself? The tri-coloured teen had drawn back as well, being barely responsive in classes or in his free-time.

While Joey and Tristan had tried to talk, or more bother him, Yami had apparently realised that Yugi was in no good state right now and after only two days, he'd gotten the two to stop. Yugi was deeply grateful for it, although all he'd managed to give was a small nod. Yet what he was most glad about, was that Yami had stopped pushing.

Anger still burst through the 'lighter' teen when he remembered what he'd gone through because of the group, but thanks to Antauri's training he managed to keep it in check and got it out during training. It would still be a long time till he forgave them, and mostly Yugi only had contact with them at all, because of the promise he gave his father two years ago. To face his past.

The ringing bell snapped Yugi out of his thoughts and he slowly got up. Everything had fallen into a rhythm since the attack. Stand up – go to school – don't kill anyone – go home – train – do your homework – have free-time – time for bed. Yugi was about to leave the school-grounds, when his phone rang. He pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. His brow furrowed. What could Sprx want from him?

Accepting the call, he placed the phone to his ear and asked: "Yugi here. What is it?"

"WE CAN SEE HIM NOW!", cried the red-head on the other end.

Yugi winced and ripped the phone away. "What?", asked the teen.

"The doctors said we can finally see Antauri! Hurry up and get home. We're only waiting for you and Nova!"

With that the connection broke, leaving Yugi to stare down at his phone in disbelieve. It took him a minute to fully grasp what Sprx had just told him. However, the moment he did understand, a grin broke over his face and he couldn't keep a joyful shout inside. That got him quite a few nervous looks, but Yugi ignored them. He only put his phone back into his pocket and then started running.

He took long strides, practically flying over the side-walk on his way home. A part of him wouldn't believe it. They could see Antauri! I didn't fully realise how much I missed dad in those few days, thought Yugi when he felt the intensive amount of excitement that rushed through him.

"Well, he did practically raise you the last two years", stated a female voice. Yugi glanced left, while he dodged an elderly woman and her dog, to see Mana floating next to him, keeping pace easily.

"Raised would be an understatement, don't you think?", argued another voice back and Mahad appeared next to her. The violet-clad magician gave her a disapproving glare, which got Yugi to chuckle and he asked: "Trying to skip training again Mana?"

"You have no idea how boring repeating Levitation-Charms over and over is!", cried the girl and gave her teacher a glare.

Mahad rolled his eyes and answered: "If you want to learn the technique you wanted to learn for three months now, it's crucial to make sure you remember everything."

"But it's boooooring!", cried the girl out, which drew an exasperated sigh from Mahad and a laugh from Yugi.

You two are, at times, more entertaining than Sprx, Otto and Gibson, you know that?, asked the teen while he skidded around a corner.

"Always glad to be the source of your amusement", grumbled the pink-and-blue-clad female.

Now Mahad chuckled, before he twirled his sceptre and called: "Come now Mana, we really do need to continue." The girl grumbled, but both faded from Yugi's sight with another twirl of the magician's sceptre. The teen shook his head in amusement, then already reached his road. Those two know how to make time seem fly by, thought Yugi while he sped up and simply leaped over the fence. He defiantly wasn't in the mood to anger himself with the gate. He leaped up the stone-steps while pulling out his key. Adrenalin still pumped through his veins, making him feel slightly giddy, something he hadn't felt for a quite a while.

Oh excitement and happiness yes, but to feel as giddy as a kid on Christmas Day, he couldn't even recall when the last time he'd felt that way had been. Yugi opened the door, while shaking the thought off, to be pulled inside and dragged through the hallways immediately.

He gave a startled yelp and looked around for an attacker, only to see Chiro dragging him to his room. "Chiro what with the gods!", exclaimed Yugi and managed to yank himself free from his brother.

The other's blue eyes shone with excitement and impatience and he stated: "Nova got here already so hurry up and change so we can leave!"

He crossed his arms and tapped his foot, a posture that reminded Yugi unwillingly of the two woman in the family. The Japanese teen couldn't help it, he burst out laughing. Chiro only seemed to get irritated by it and Yugi did have enough tact left to not irritated his brother even more. So he, still sniggering, made his way past Chiro and into his own room. It looked similar to the one he used to have in L.A. White walls, bright parquet, black and purple covers for the bed, as well as purple curtains and a black rug with golden hieroglyphics, a desk, two dressers, some posters on the wall and books. Lots and lots of books. More than half of them were about Egypt too. The subject had gotten interesting about a year ago.

Yugi was still learning how to write and speak the ancient language, but being Atem's reincarnation had its advantages. He had a far easier time adapting to anything concerning the old Egypt than others. Normally when he came home, Yugi would grab one of his books and read for half an hour, before he went out training. Today he had no eye for the books though and simply through his bag onto the bed, before he rushed to one dresser and yanked it open. He decided something simple would be enough, so Yugi practically yanked the clothes out of the dresser and rushed into the bathroom.

There he changed, checked his hair and switched his belts from the on the floor discarded uniform to what he wore now. He reappeared, pulled his wallet, keys and mobile phone from his school-bag and fixed his Duel-Disc on his arm. Then he looked into the mirror and nodded.

He still wore his black boots, but his attire had changed from the school-uniform to simple dark-grey jeans, a long-sleeved white T-shirt, a sleeve-less black jacket, his belts, his duel-disc and the middle-part of the Millennium Puzzle gleamed on his chest, where it hung from his neck on a leather belt.

He'd gotten a certain amount of control with the magic the Items supplied. And he apparently had always had, at least if he could take Mahad's word. The Spirit had started to teach Yugi a bit about those powers little by little. Not that the teen minded going slow on this. He already had school, his training and his other studies to worry about. With a smirk then teen grabbed the gleaming piece and put it under his T-Shirt.

Then he quickly left the room and ran for the garage. He arrived together with Nova and both rushed in. Gibson already sat behind the wheel of Antauri's silver Mercedes. Otto, Chiro and Jinmay in the same car. Sprx sat on his own motorbike, red of course, and threw Nova a Jacket and Helmet.

Yugi, not willing to get into the almost filled silver car, quickly grabbed a dark-blue Jacket and Helmet as well and climbed onto his own bike. It had been a gift for his 18th birthday. It was night-blue, much like his attire, and different golden hieroglyphics ran over it in an unrecognizable pattern.

Seeing that Yugi was going to drive on his own, Gibson started up the car and almost immediately shot out of the garage. The teen and Sprx nodded to each other, before their bikes zoomed after the silver Mercedes. Now normally Yugi understood and respected the traffic-laws, but today he felt like cursing them for all it was worth. The hospital wasn't that far away, but when they had to stop at a red traffic-light for the seventh time, he gave a few choice words in ancient Egyptian.

Despite the fact that no one but his father would've understood him, Sprx next to him burst out laughing, what in turn got him a whack upside the head from Nova. "Focus!", hissed the blonde. The next second she had to cling to him for all that was worth it, since the light had switched to green and the group was off once again.

Yami shook his head in amusement while he watched Joey, Tristan and Jake. His friends had challenged Rebecca's boyfriend to a hot-dog eating competition. As it had turned out, despite not being as 'hungry' as the other two, Jake had quite the competitive side. The second before Joey had finished speaking out the challenge, Rebecca had already groaned and face-palmed.

Yami and Tea had been confused at this, till they'd seen the fire in the American's eyes.

By now Joey had devoured sixteen hot-dogs, Tristan fifteen and Jake, believe it or not, had reached number twenty. Rebecca and Tea had both turned away from the spectacle in disgust.

And the reason why the group was in with Rebecca, Jake and Professor Hawkins in the first place?

The old man had wanted Yami to take a look at some photos of old tomb-stones he'd found in Egypt. Being native to the ancient language, Yami had a far easier time translating them than the Professor. Rebecca was alright with them being here too, although Jake wasn't too happy. Yami had the sneaking suspicion that Jake had accepted the challenge because he wanted to humiliate Joey and Tristan.

The brown-haired teen was able to talk to them quite normally, much like Yugi, but more than once Yami had also caught him scowling at them. And, despite the fact that it went completely against the former Pharaoh's pride, he accepted and ignored it. They did deserve far worse treatment than what they got, at least in his own opinion. Yami also wasn't certain he liked the fact that Yugi obviously held his own anger back. Suddenly an alarm went off, startling Yami enough to give a slight jump, and Rebecca yelled: "Alright knock it off guys, the seven minutes are up!"

Jake swallowed the last bit of the hot-dog he'd been holding and wiped his face with a napkin, before giving Joey and Tristan a grin and asking: "There you go. I managed twenty-two hot-dogs. You guys?" Both grumbled angrily and didn't answer, what had a satisfied smirk flitting over Jake's face. Hadn't Yami been so focused on the other teen, he would've missed it. It didn't last longer than a second, but it gave the answer Yami needed.

Yes, this had been a revenge-act for Yugi.

He was about to speak up, when a loud roar down the road caught everyone's attention. They all turned to the windows of the small kitchen, to find a night-blue motorbike with golden hieroglyphics skidding to a held directly in front of the front-yard.

"Nice ride", admitted Tristan with a whistle.

Yami tilted his head confused and asked: "Are you expecting someone?"

Rebecca shook her head and shrugged while they watched how the rider jumped of his bike. Yami saw dark-grey jeans, a night-blue jacket, a same coloured helmet and a duel-disk stripped to the arrivals arm. Then the newcomer pulled the helmet off his head. The former Spirit's heart skipped at beat the moment the helmet revealed spiky black hair with red outlines and golden bangs.

Behind Yami Jake whistled in approval and stated: "Nice, thought he was joking when he wrote that Otto and his brothers planned to build a bike for him for his 18th birthday."

"Build?!", exclaimed Tea.

Jake nodded and answered: "Yeah. Otto's a maniac, but a mechanical-genius-maniac, Gibson is better with science…okay he could probably teach something to the best university professor…and Sprx can drive just about everything. Put those three together and have them work on a bike and you know the outcome will be great."

With that he walked out of the room and the group heard a door slam shut. Yugi looked up from securing his bike, to smile warmly when he found Jake walking up to him. The two grabbed each other's lower arm, before embracing shortly, then Jake proceeded to lead him back inside. They walked in and just heard Yugi chuckle, when another voice stated: "My, what a welcome surprise."

Yami walked out of the kitchen, to find Yugi and Jake standing in the hallway, the former greeting Professor Hawkins. "Nice to see you two Professor", answered Yugi and shook the man's hand.

"Yugi?" The three looked up and at Tea. Yami saw how Yugi's eyes flashed for a heartbeat, before they returned to the calm look he mostly wore. He nodded in greeting, then turned back to Rebecca's grandfather.

"Actually I'm here because I have great news for you."

"You mean an explanation why you acted like a maniac today after school?", asked Joey.

Yugi gave a laugh and answered: "I think I have every right to act like that." He smiled warmly and answered: "We were finally allowed to see dad today. When he continues to heal like he does, they'll release him by Sunday."

"Those are wonderful news Yugi", answered Professor Hawkins, his eyes bright. "I was very worried about Antauri, but someone like him pulls through anything."

Yami believed to have heard some sort of strange implication behind those words, but no one else seemed to have heard the same. No one but Yugi that was. He looked like he perfectly understood the meaning behind those words and smirked while he answered: "I don't think death would stop dad from being the overprotective fool he is."

"He may be an overprotective fool, but he has a kind heart, something your brother obviously inherited from him."

"I thought Yugi's brother is adopted too?", asked Tristan.

Yugi nodded and answered: "He is. But dad has this…it's really hard to explain but once you know him, he can have a whole lot of influence on you. In a very good way." Now he frowned and whispered: "It's a wonder he still is like that."

"What do you mean?", asked Rebecca softly.

"It's Mandarin isn't it?", asked Jake.

In his mind Yami saw the memory of the man that had attacked them at the party. Yugi nodded and gave a small sigh.

"Mandarin…betrayed not just dad's, but everyone's trust long ago, a long time before I and even Chiro and Jinmay came into the family. They pushed him away. He lost the right path and…tried to persuade everyone to do the same. As far as I know he almost managed it with Nova and Gibson, but dad, Sprx and Otto, no matter how hurt they were, saw through Mandarin's plan. If there is one person more persuasive than Antauri out there, it's Mandarin."

"But…why does your dad hate him so much?", asked Joey, obviously like Yami remembering the silver-haired man's behaviour. By now the group had moved on to the living room. Yami sat on the love seat with Tea while Jake, Rebecca ad Tristan sat on the couch. Joey sat next to Tristan on the arm-rest. Professor Hawkins had sat down on a comfy chair, but Yugi remained leaning against the wall. His gaze was locked on the floor and Yami wasn't certain he even remembered who we was talking too.

"Antauri doesn't hate him", answered the amethyst-eyed teen. "He's sad, upset and feels betrayed. For all I know, he and Mandarin were closer than Chiro and I are now. They knew practically everything about each other. Even now, while dad respects what he knows about Mandarin, this scum is using every chance he gets to hurt dad as much as possible." Yugi's eyes narrowed and he hissed: "Mostly through Chiro and me. About three years ago, only a while before they met you Professor, Mandarin did something else. It…left a barely uncontrollable rage to grow within Antauri. He tries his best to work around it, to not let it get the better of him, but as some of you saw at the party, Mandarin knows how to pull dad's strings." Yugi sighed deeply and whispered: "I wish I could help him, but I can't. All I know about controlling my anger and rage, I learned from him."

The teen fell silent, giving everyone time to think about what he just told them. After five more minutes, Yugi pushed himself away from the wall and announced his leaving. Before anyone could protest, the teen had said his goodbyes, put on his jacket and left the house.

Yami looked after his light. He once again observed the way he walked, straight back, head held high. The new confidence Yugi walked with. He remembered the way Yugi was able to play with words now, how he managed to turn them around in one's mouth. He was awed at the calmness the teen managed to display, no matter how disturbed he was.

Yami had already held high respect for Yugi's new family. For giving Yugi a life worth living, the life Yami had failed to give him.

But now, knowing how much this family had already gone through, how much pain and suffering they'd felt, he was even more in awe.

That a family that had been through so many terrible things, could still give Yugi, Chiro and Jinmay such a life. A life filled with warmth, devotion, family and so much more. Yami shook his head, a slight smile on his face. Whatever would happen in the future, however it would happen and whoever would be involved. One thing he knew for certain. He'd be forever thankful, be forever in this extraordinary family's dept. And frankly, he wouldn't want it any other way.
