Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monster GX Fan Fiction ❯ The only opinion that matters! ❯ The First Memories ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

A/N: I'd like to say a few words about what Daitokuji/Banner will be like in this fic. I have seen reviews for other stories that brand the authors as ignorant. I will try to not be like that. Will I tinker around with some minor details for the sake of the story? Probably. Will I completely ignore all the background info? No way!

I did try to do research. I looked in two separate dictionaries, but they were of no use. I also looked in the episode guides at Janime.info. These helped a lot, but Janime's translations are more than a bit awkward. Thus, I couldn't get everything that went on. But I'll try my best!

Disclaimer: Geez, I've been slack about putting in the disclaimers lately. But I still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

I met my Person when I was a kitten. Apparently, my mother's Person didn't have room for my siblings and I. So he invited a whole bunch of People to come look at us.

After a few days, all of my siblings had been given their own Person. But I didn't mind. I was young and had been with my mother my whole life. Even though I had been weaned, I hadn't felt like leaving the basket I lived in. I hadn't even thought of the possibility of owning a Person.

But that would all change very soon. I was asleep when my Person showed up. Of course, back then he was just a Person, not my person.

I was quite surprised when I was suddenly lifted out of my basket. I had seen my brothers and sisters leave, but had just assumed that I would be allowed to stay. And then I was put into a Cage of Doom! I protested this new habitat very much.

But now that cage is just a blur to me. One thing I remember much more clearly is my first can of tuna! I would soon learn to be grumpy if I didn't get tuna or a reasonable substitute every day.

After a while, I decided that it was nice having a Person. I got food that had already been hunted, nice spots to sleep in, and...uhhh...more food! All I had to do in return was be reasonably nice and not bite too much.

It took me a while to learn the no-biting rule. When I was still a kitten, I was very mischievious. I couldn't control my wild instincts. However, after some matuation and a lot of squirts from a water bottle, I learned my lesson. Either that, or I just got lazy.

There was only one thing that I thought could be improved in my life. My Person wasn't always at home. He went on long trips. When that happened, I had to stay with an old lady who tried to put ribbons around my neck. But I decided that not everything could be perfect. Still, it was fun ripping those ribons to shreds! Yep...those were good times...

My train of thought was suddenly broken by a disturbance of my sleeping place. The Other Person had apparently woken up.

She seemed to be startled when she saw me. "What are YOU doing here?" she exclaimed. I could understand her because I had gotten to know her quite well.

For a bit, the Other Person looked like she wanted to kick me off the bed. It wasn't like she'd never done it before. But to be fair, those other times were accidental...where was I?

Oh, now I remember! The Other Person was deciding what to do with me. Finally she let me stay on.

"I shouldn't punish you. You did nothing wrong. YOU didn't lie to the whole school!"

I didn't know how to respond to this, so I just stared blandly.

The Other Person picked me up. At first I struggled because she wasn't holding me the right way. But then I thought that maybe I should comply to a Person's wishes just this once.

The Other Person didn't do much after that. She just held me quietly. I let my mind wander back to some more of my memories.


A/N: So basically, I'm going to alternate the "memoirs" of Pharaoh with what's happening in the present day, which is the end of Season One in this fic.
