Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Retreating Into The Santuary Of The Darkness ❯ Lost and Alone ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 1: Alone and Lost

Battle City had finished. Yugi and the gang were back at home. All of the Millennium items had been returned to their owners. Sugoroku was out on an expedition in Egypt - he had been invited by his old friend Arthur and would be gone for a long time. In the note that he left, he didn't specify when because it was impossible to tell when they would find the tomb that they were looking for.

Now that Yami had regained all of his memories, the gang spent more time with him. ~ In this fic they still share a body ~ Yugi, being such a kind person, let Yami out day after day after school ended. Yami and the gang had so much fun that they all forgot about Yugi.

Soon, it came to be that Yugi had to stay in his soulroom all the time when he was with his so-called friends. Yugi despaired at this, but he set up a block so Yami wouldn't feel his hurt feelings. Even when he was alone and ignored, he didn't have the heart to tear his yami from the ones that idolized him so much.

Time Lapse

One day, Yami thought about Yugi.

`He's had to stay in his soulroom so much. His must be a banal existence now that I've taken his place among his friends. I should do something about that.'

With that, he used Shadow magic to create his own body, leaving Yugi his own body so that they both could spend time with the gang. However, this only aggravated the situation. The others ignored Yugi even more.

Tea was continuously hanging onto Yami's every word. It was a well-known fact that she had a huge crush on Yami.

Joey and Tristan were in awe. To be able to meet the Game-King! It was to die for. They only had their eyes on Yami ~ no, it's not what you think, all of you perverts out there ~ and never spoke to Yugi.

Yami's intimidating and commanding presence overpowered Yugi's small one. No one noticed when Yugi came home after being beaten up by the bully, Ushiro Hikenati. He had bruises all over his face and was bleeding in numerous places. The others were too preoccupied by Yami and Yami was enjoying the attention he was getting.

Yugi only grew unhappier and unhappier as each day passed. His eyes lost the bright sparkles that were once there. His once-cheerful face had turned into a depressing mask. The energetic walk that he once held soon became a slow gait. But all this he kept from everyone. He always kept his head down so that no one would see his sadness.

Once, an old lady was short enough to look him in the face. She had been captivated by the look of his appearance and went over to look more closely at him. She regretted it when she did. The old lady was so depressed at once that she just dropped the groceries that she had been holding and began to cry.

Time Lapse

It had been four months now after the Battle City tournament and the gang were ignoring him as much as ever. Kaiba was more distant from the group than ever. Yugi couldn't take this loneliness anymore. He wanted to run away, but where would he run to? In the end he decided to stay as he was. Slowly, he sank into the darkness…

Meanwhile, the gang never noticed that they were practically giving Yugi into the hands of the enemy…

Yami: [Runs over to his aibou] It better not be!
