Okay, so the next chapter to this story. For the long wait I have made this long chapter. I know it may not help for the long wait but life gets in the way. I also made several chapters of this chapter and it just wasn't clicking with me. This one was the best so far, so here it is. Thank you to the people who followed, favourite, and Reviewed this story. That really made my day. So, enjoy this next chapter.
When Yugi woke up he was laying on something soft and warm. His arm that what once cracked was in a sling. Yugi let loose a small yawn and stretched his arms and legs and stood up from his resting place, only for the world to sift under his feet, sending him flying on the ground.
Once he got his bearings straight he took a look at his surroundings. He noticed right away that he was in some sort of caravan, and looking up, he noticed that what he sat on was a pillow that was surrounded by other dolls. It was a display case for dolls.
Yugi sat up again and was going to go deeper into exploring the caravan only for the door to open. Standing there was a tall lanky boy with blond hair and honey brown coloured eyes. He was humming some tune as he went around and began polishing the dolls and trinkets that lay around.
Yugi quickly hid behind a stack books that were stacked conveniently right beside him, and watched the man do his work. When the man got to his pillow, he blinked.
"Oh crap, don't tell me that doll fell. Yami is going to have my head if he finds out that doll is missing."
The boy began crawling on his hands and keens and began to search every corner of the cavern. Yugi, on the other hand began to slightly panic. What was going to happen once the man found him. The previous person Dartz's did not treat him with any kind respect.
That was when he noticed that the door was still open, maybe he could quickly and quietly sneak out before he was spotted? Of course lady luck was not with Yugi that day as when he backed up he ended up tripping on something, sending it and himself down to the ground, and this of course caught the attention of the man that was searching for him.
Yugi touched his head to get rid of the ringing in his ears when he noticed the man staring at him.
"Ummm… hi," Yugi said nervously, "how are you doing?"
The man stared at Yugi in shock, his mouth hanging open, and finger being pointed at him. He began to breath really quickly, Yugi knew he preparing to let loose a scream.
"Don't freak out." I told the man that was staring at me, before the man said, "I'm not freaking out. Are you freaking out? No I'm just very interested about you and the magical qualities that you may possesses. How long have been able to move around and speak like a normal human can?" He asked in a very strangled voice.
Yugi blinked and gave a small giggle, "Since the day I was born."
"And how exactly how you were born?"
"Well, my master, my grandpa made me, and sometime during the night I woke up and here I am." Yugi chirped back at him.
The man seemed frozen in shock. He wasn't moving and his jaw was once again hanging open.
"Sir, are you okay."
That seemed to snap the man out of his trance.
"Right…okay… talking doll…what the hell am I supposed know."
The man seemed to be lost in though. Yugi looked what he tripped on and noticed that it was a sliver platter. He was able to see his reflection and noticed that the paint on him was slowly fading. The thought made Yugi sad, maybe this is what happens when dolls are getting old…
That is when all wind left Yugi. He noticed that he was leaving the caravan, but he wasn't walking on his own two feet. The man had grabbed him when he lost in thought. Yugi began to struggle.
"Yo, hey man don't struggle, or I may drop you by accident. Relax, I'm not going to hurt you."
That caused Yugi to calm down a bit, but he was still scared to where he was going. The man burst into another caravan, but this one had a man sitting behind a desk with a quill in hand. He seemed to be in deep concentration for he didn't seem to notice when the strange man had barged in.
"Boss, you wont believe it."
"Joey I'm sure this can wait. I am very busy at the moment. I have to finish writing this letter, and send it back to head quarters right away."
"Boss I wouldn't come here if it wasn't important." The man – or rather – Joey said very quickly, while shaking his arms up and down very quickly.
"Sir? Joey? Whatever you want me to call you, but please can you stop shaking me." Yugi screeched.
That caused "The boss." To stop writing for a second.
"Joey, are you talking to yourself because I'm not paying attention to you anymore?"
"No Boss, it's the doll. It's… ALIVE somehow."
"Don't be silly Joey, dolls aren't living things. They just sit and look pretty on peoples mantels.
Meanwhile, Yugi was beginning to get somewhat annoyed.
"Hey! I am right here you know. I can hear everything your saying." Yugi shouted to the arguing men. That caused both of them to freeze and turn their head slowly to the doll that was still clutched in Joey's hand.
"Now, Joey do you think you can put me down. Your grip is hurting mr."
"Right… of course, sorry about that."
Joey placed Yugi gently on the table in front of the boss, and Yugi tried to ruffle out the wrinkles in his clothes.
"You should really be more gentle Joey. I may be made of glass, but that still hurt."
The started at aw at the doll creature while Joey gave the boss I-told-you-so look.
"Shut up Joey. Go back to work and leave this doll with me." The boss instructed with a slow deep voice.
"Yes Boss, right away sir."
Joey quickly steeped out of the caravan leaving the Boss and Yugi alone together.
Silence engulfed the room. Yugi slowly turned to face the boss and was shocked to what he saw. The boss looked almost like him. The same style hair except that he had a few extra blonde streaks going up to the tips of his hair. Deep red eyes that would have made any other man look like he was possessed by the devil, but on him, it made him look hot.
Yugi blinked a few time only to realized that the boss was staring at him to.
"So…umm…whatsupp dude?" Yugi asked only for him to shut his eyes and himself on the head. The boss, however let out a small chuckle.
"Nothing much is going on little doll. Though I am most fascinated in you at the moment. How is that you are alive? Do you have a beating heart?"
"A heart?"
"Yes, a heart."
"I don't know what a heart is."
The boss blinked his eyes. Then very gently lent out his hand.
"Come, I promise I won't hurt you."
Yugi slowly moved and stepped on the Boss's hand, and the Boss gently brought the doll to his chest.
Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
Yugi let loose a small gasp. He blinked his eyes and looked at the Boss in wonder.
"That little one is a heart beat."
Yugi brought his hands to his chest area, but there was nothing there. No heart beat.
"I don't have one. Does that that there is something wrong with me?"
"No. No little doll. That just makes you different from everyone else."
Yugi let out a small sigh.
"Oh, what's your real name?" Yugi asked the man.
"My real name?"
"Yes, your real name. I highly doubt that you name is Boss."
The Boss let out a small laugh. "No, my name is not Boss, that is was my people call me. My name is Yami. What is you name little doll?"
"My name is Yugi."
"Well, Yugi welcome to the gypsy camp."
"Oh, well thank you."
"Now, Yugi I have a question for you."
"Sure Yami was is it?"
"Why is it that you fell out of the sky?"
All the passes events came crashing into Yugi's mind. He quickly explained what happened in the past view days.
"I see, so you were taken away from your master."
"He doesn't like it when I call him that. He likes to be called grandpa."
"Okay, I see. Well, Yugi as much as I would love and continue our chat, I have some work to do."
Yami stepped up from behind the desk, and was gently hanging onto Yugi. Yugi went to the door and shouted "JOEY! I NEED YOU!"
Yugi clapped his hand over his ears and Joey cam sprawling out of a tent., tripping on his own two feet in his haste to get to Yami as soon as possible.
"I am leaving Yugi in your care. Please take good care of him."
"Yes Boss."
Yami gently passed Yugi to Joey, and Joey placed Yugi in his shoulder.
"So magic doll what's your name?"
"Yugi" The doll said softly. As Joey rambled on how much Yugi was going to like it here, Yugi turned back to stare at Yami as he shut the door to his caravan.
So, please favourite, review, follow :) And hop this chapter was satisfying for the long wait.
