Chapter 1: Interlude with a Vampire

It was a beautiful day in Japan. The birds were singing their hearts out. Yugi was in his room listening to them. He was short for a 15-year old. He had red, black and blond hair, wide, innocent eyes and pale skin.

'They sound lovely. I wish I was as happy as them,' Yugi thought. He didn't have many people to talk to. He could only talk to his grandfather.
But his grandfather was away on an exhibition for the entire summer, so he was alone. Yugi then saw a group of friends walking together. Seeing the cheery looks on their faces made him all the sadder. Tears came to his eyes. He closed the window and turned away. He couldn't take seeing their happy faces anymore.
He laid across the bed and cried his heart out. He ended up crying himself to sleep that night. He didn't even notice a faint glow coming from his desk. The half finished puzzle gave a faint glow. It was as if the puzzle felt his sadness and was waiting to relieve him of all his sorrows.
At 10:00 the next morning, Yugi awoke to his alarm clock. He turned it off and went to the bathroom to shower. Half an hour later he went into his room to get dressed. Then he went to the kitchen and made some cereal and orange juice.
'I might as well finish the puzzle. I wish for a friend. I have no friends now,' he thought. He returned to his room.
It was a little stuffy, so he opened the window. He picked up the puzzle and the remaining pieces off the desk and sat on the floor to finish the puzzle. It took an additional three hours to finally finish the puzzle he worked on for a year now. He stared at the finished puzzle, but not before making a wish that he had a friend who liked him for who he was.
Just then, the puzzle glowed. He had to shield his eyes from the intense glow. The glow lasted for ten minutes. When the glow died down, there was a boy who almost looked like him standing in front of him.
"Who are you?" the older boy asked.
"My name's Yugi," Yugi responded.
The older body knelt down to look at Yugi. Violet eyes met violet eyes. The older boy was obviously taller. His eyes were full of confidence and determination, and he had a few gold streaks in his hair. He then stood up and turned his back to Yugi.
'He seems so sad. I don't know why, but I have no desire of any kind to hurt this small boy. My heart is going out to this young one. It angers me that he doesn't have anyone to look out for him,' the older boy thought. He was so consumed in his thoughts that he didn't realize that his fangs extended.
"Excuse me, but I never got your name," Yugi said; his soft voice interrupted the other boy's thoughts.
The other boy turned around to see Yugi standing. "My name is Yami," he said.
Yugi was scared silly at this point. His eyes were wide with fear. He saw Yami's fangs. Yami noticed Yugi's fear and cursed himself for being so careless. His fangs became shorter again.
'Oh great, now he thinks that I'm going to hurt him,' Yami thought. "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you," he said as he approached Yugi.
Yugi backed up as Yami stepped closer to him. Yugi thought that Yami was going to hurt him when the truth was that Yami only wanted to talk to him. Yugi was unaware that he was dangerously close to falling out the open window. Yami's eyes widened when he saw how close Yugi was to the window.
"Yugi, watch out for the open window!" Yami shouted.
It was too late. Yugi backed up too far to stop and fell out of the open window. He closed his eyes anticipating the hard impact. The impact never came. Yugi felt the wind still in his face.
'That's weird. It wouldn't take this long to hit the ground. My house is only two stories,' Yugi thought. He opened his eyes ten minutes later. He looked down to see the ground far below him. 'How am I flying?' he thought. He then noticed that his hands were on a muscular chest. 'Muscular chest, what's going on?' he thought as he looked at his hands. He looked up further and saw Yami looking very concerned at him.
"Are you all right?" Yami asked.
Yugi was dumbfounded. 'He's a vampire, but he is concerned about me. He would've already hurt me if he wanted to. He just saved my life, so I guess I can trust him,' he thought. "I am now thanks to you," he responded. "How can you survive in sunlight? Why do you look like me?" he added.
"To answer your first question, just because some vampires perish in sunlight doesn't mean that all of them do. As you can see, I'm proof of that. I am not just a vampire; I am half human as well. Being half human eliminates the problems that a full-blooded vampire has. As far as the wooden stake thing, anyone can die from that. To answer your second question, I have no clue," Yami responded.
Yugi put his arms around Yami's neck. Yami smiled and flew on. Yugi just looked down at the city. The buildings, cars, etc, looked like bugs due to how high they were. When it got dark, Yami headed back for Yugi's house. The city looked like a bunch of lights now. Yugi was amazed by how beautiful the city looked from the air at night. They arrived at around 10 pm. Yami flew down into the open window and set Yugi down. Yugi went to his dresser and pulled out a chain from the top drawer. He put the chain through the top of the puzzle and put it on a chair that he put next to his bed.
Yami smiled. With the chain around the puzzle, they could be together. He then hugged Yugi and bid him good night before returning to the puzzle. Yugi went to make himself something for dinner. He ate and returned to his room. He changed into his pajamas, climbed into the bed and fell asleep.
/At last, I have a friend. I hope that we'll always be together/ Yugi happily thought as he slept.
The puzzle had a very faint glow.
'I hope that we can always be together too Yugi. I will continue to be your friend, and I swear on my honor that I will protect you,' Yami thought as he was in his soul room. He heard Yugi's thoughts, but didn't respond to them, yet.
They were unaware of a nearby presence. It was another halfling. He had long silver hair and ivory skin. He secretly followed Yami and Yugi through the air as they were flying.
'So, Yami has found a friend. I have to admit; the young one is pretty cute. It will be fun to torment his innocent soul,' the halfling thought.
Yugi and Yami were thinking of each other. The day got off to a rocky start, but things sorted themselves out. It was going to be an interesting life for both of them.
