Chapter 3- Shadow Dragon of the Past

 

The day had gone by for Yugi moderately well. His classes went well, his passed the tests he had today, and managed to not fail at anything. But, as of the whole day from that morning, the thought of Atemu kept coming up in his mind. Yugi couldn't fight the blush's that crept up onto his cheeks every time the man came to mind. He couldn't fight it…the great overwhelming power…of a simple crush. Yugi, now back in his dorm room, placed a hand onto his forehead.

 

“Of all the…” he stopped. “Of all the…damnit, a boy for gods sake!” he screamed at himself. He buried his face into his arms. “My family hates gays…”he muttered to the ground. “They'll disown me if anyone find out about this…shit…” Yugi sighed. “Why me…why dear gods above why…” Yugi slowly sat up straight and looked out the window. The sun was slowly coming down over the horizon. He glanced over at the clock.

“It's seven…I'm supposed to meet him now…” he said softly. “But…if I don't…then he'll think I hate him…and I will have no worries about the crush,” he pushed his chair back and stood. “Yeah…yeah, I'll do that. And then, that'll make it right. I just have to ignore him…and this little crush will go away…” he walked to his door. “I'll just go to the roof of here…” he stopped. “No…no the roof of this building is seen everywhere…I'll have to go somewhere else…somewhere where no one can find me. Just for tonight…” he smiled and ran out the door. Running, Yugi streaked through the halls, down the stairs and out the door. Going as fast as his smaller legs could carry him, Yugi ran to one of the campus buildings on the edge of the ocean. There, no one could see him from all sides, and he would have a nice view as well. Yugi darted into the building, and up the steps. As he entered the high roof, he began slowing his pace to an uneven walk. Coming upon the last flights, Yugi smiled.

“Almost there,” he muttered. Coming to the door, Yugi flung it open and ran out into the light. Or well, the leaning light anyway, for out on the horizon, the great sun was now setting. Yugi closed the door behind him and walked to the edge of the building over looking the water. He smiled. Coming to the near edge of it, he sat down…and waited. Waiting for the little hand to pass the seven fully and then the eight so his worries about a crush could be over. Yugi sighed happily, taking out his iPod from his pocket, he placed the headphones in his ears and began listening to music. Letting it take him away, he didn't even notice the creak of the door behind him, until a tap on his shoulder alerted him to the being. Yugi turned his music off and looked behind himself. His eyes widened, and his mouth was left open. Two boys, most likely older then him, stood behind the teen. Yugi was left gapping, and the first one smirked.

 

“Well would ya look at this, the all-famous Motou is here…in our lonely neighborhood!?” he laughed. Yugi quickly stood.

 

“What do you want!” he yelled. The taller one smirked. He had black hair that was done up in a ponytail, and his eyes a dark blue like the deepest depths of the ocean.

`What are other mages doing here…' he though to himself. The blue-eyed one smirked.

 

“Common Motou! Why the cold glare to your dear cousin!” he chirped. Yugi bared his teeth.

 

“You're my second cousin bastard…you are not related to me…” he muttered. The other's smile grew.

 

“Aw, common! Were still vaguely related!” Yugi had enough.

 

“Shut you trap Kretchin!” he yelled. Kretchin's smirk grew, his icy eyes narrowing in amusement.

“Glad you remember my name cousin…” he said. The other boy now spoke.

 

“Yugi, Yugi…” he walked up and grasped the boys face in his hands. “Being so cold to us…why?” he asked. Yugi growled at this other being. This teen has red hair, the same shade as Yugi's, it just long enough to come to the edge of his forehead. His eyes were a deep cold and unfeeling black.

“Come not Yugi…to be so mean to your brother?” Yugi spit on him.

 

“HALF-brother Shnit…” he growled. Shnit smiled, grasping Yugi's throat, lifted him into the air. The small mages eyes widened, pupil's small in pain and fright. Shnit smiled, and sent out a pulse of magic through his arm to come in contact with Yugi at the throat. Yugi's eyes widened, as pain seared through him. His mouth opened, and a loud scream of pain emitted from his mouth. Shnit smirked in a vile way, his grip on the youngers one throat tightening. He leaned back, his arm moving with him, and then threw the teen across the roof. Yugi flew back with such speed that when he hit the ground the cement cracked on the impact. His back contacting it first, Yugi's mouth immediately opened in pain as red liquid spewed from his mouth. He stayed on that ground for at least a minute, till his body began to shake. Yugi slowly stood, wiping the blood from the side of his face. Glaring at the two, he summoned up some of his magic as well. Flinging his right arm forward, a ball of yellow light appearing in his hand. Yugi screamed out a curse, and the light shot forward, straight into Kretchin. Those blue eyes widened slightly, as his body went flying back. His back hit the ground first, as blood spurted out of his mouth at the contact. He lay there for a few decent seconds then began to stand. Wiping blood from his lips, he glared at the boy.

 

“You little bastard…” he muttered. Shnit, instead of being mad, smiled.

 

“Well Yugi, you certainly are not the little boy I remember,” he said. Yugi glared. The older one just laughed.

“but…you concentration is off today, I can see, you have something on your mind do you not…well, all the easier to…” he suddenly disappeared, and reappeared infront of Yugi in a mere split second. Everything seemed to slow down right in front of Yugi's eyes. Those violet eyes widened in surprise and fear as a arm was raised up to his face, a red ball of enargy inside of it. The curse could be faintly heard from the others mouth as the magic flew into his face. Yugi gasped in pain, as his body flew back…over the railing of the roof. Body paralyzed for those mere seconds, Yugi could not conjur up any spells to alow him to fly at all. As he fell, Yugi closed his eyes, not wanting to see how far away or how close the water was. Bracing himself for the impact, Yugi rolled his arms to his chest and ducked his head down so it wouldn't be the first this to hit. As the sound of the ocean came nearer, Yugi clutched his eyes tighter. Suddenly, as it came too soon, he hit water. His back was the nearest to the water, so it got first impact, the wind being knocked out of him. The sea quickly surrounded as he began to slowly float downward more, his body slowly turning so he was facing the bottom of the ocean then the top. His eyes were still closed as he floated ever so slowly down into the marine depths, when suddenly he felt himself moving. As rapidly as he felt that, he could suddenly feel air on his skin instead of water. Under his fingertips, he felt a mane like substance and all around him it was soft, like a longhaired horses coat. Snapping his eyes open, Yugi looked below himself to see just what had caught him. His eyes widened, as his mouth was left ajar. Below him…was a dragon. A large, great black dragon. Yugi gasped.

 

`T-the dragon…it's him…' he whispered into his mind. The animal's head turned to him, red eyes kind and almost saying.

`See, I'm back! I said I would be.' Yugi still stared into those red eyes, and then looked around his surroundings. He was skimming over the water on the animals back. Yugi then felt movement by his legs. Looking back, he saw the two great wings that this beast possessed. Yugi then suddenly felt the animal turn and began to soar upwards. The teen clutched the mane of the beast, holding on tightly, hoping to not fall off the animal. When they made it back to the top of the building that Yugi was recently on, he looked down at his baffled second cousin and half-brother. They stared up at the dragon in fear, and ran. The beast below him screeched in anger. He flew and landed on the building, then shot forward over it, ending up in front of the two. They fell back in surprise, both landing on their behinds. Shnit looked up at Yugi, fear flowing through his eyes.

 

“Y-Yugi! Call this thing off! Common, call him off!!” he screamed at the boy. Yugi looked down at the other, pity not in his mind at the moment. Shaking his head, he said,

 

“Why should I pity someone who tried to kill me? He won't kill you two I can say that…but he will hurt you,” he closed his eyes as he said this and then opened them. “A life for a life, hurt for hurt. This is true justice.” The dragon seemingly smirked, and roared at them, different lights encircling around his mouth. Letting out one final shriek, the light blasted forward, hitting the two directly. They screamed in pain as the blast of colors hit both men square in the chests. It sent both of them flying back, almost off the ledge like what happened to Yugi. But the dragon toned down his attack slightly so that they wouldn't be killed. The men hit the ground, a few cuts on them, but not serious. They stayed awake for mere seconds, and then fell back in unconsciousness. The dragon closed his mouth, a smile creasing his mouth. He moved away from the fallen ones, taking a second to recover from the attack he sent, since is sapped some of his energy away. Yugi turned to the ground and he attempted to dismount the animal, but the dragon had other ideas. Instead of letting the teen get off of his back, the beast beat his wings, and shot into the air off the building. Yugi gasped, and clutched the mane of the animal, trying to regain his balance on him, as he took off; flying off of the building and over the water. Yugi grasped the animals mane a bit more, the fear of falling back again in his body. He looked up at the dragon's head and allowed a smile to crease over

 

“It seems you were returning the favor from 8 years ago huh?” he asked. The dragon looked back at him and nodded his head. Yugi laughed.

 

“You are no different then I remember you being,” he said happily. The other let out a amused snort, then picked up speed, moving down so they were just barley skimming the water. Yugi looked down at the watery depths, reaching a hand down and gently gliding his fingertips over it. Pulling back, he looked forward to see where the beast was heading. In front of them was a deep tangle off abandoned woods, somewhere where no one could see them. The dragon slowed his pace, and gently landed on the ground. Yugi ever so slowly dismounted the animal, to only fall over as his feet hit the ground. Rubbing his behind, which hit the ground first, Yugi looked up to see an amused face. Yugi glared at the dragon.

 

“Hey, you stop looking at me like that,” he muttered while standing, but lost his footing again. The dragon saw his loss of balance and moved his head behind Yugi to keep him upright. The violet-eyed student smiled, placing a hand on its forehead to help with steadiness on the solid ground. Finally regaining his footing, Yugi looked over at the dragon. The beast pushed his head up against Yugi's chest, nuzzling him with affection. Yugi laughed, and petted him.

“You haven't changed have you?” he asked. The other snorted, and pushed at Yugi, making him fall. Yugi hit the ground, for what seemed the hundredth time today. He folded his arms.

“I am sick of falling already…” he muttered, but that anger soon went away and the dragon laid down as well, placing his head over Yugi's legs and closing his red eyes in contentment. The teen couldn't help but smile. Placing a hand on his forehead, Yugi stroked him. Soon he began to think.

“Hey…do you have a name…?” he asked the dragon. He opened his eyes and looked at Yugi. Then he nodded. Yugi smiled.

 

“What is it…wait,” the realization that…this monster couldn't talk, hit him. “You can't talk can you?” he asked. The beast shook his head. Yugi sighed.

“Then I'll have to name you…” he stared at the dragon, deep in thought. “How…about Shisou Hiryuu? Shadow dragon,” he said to it. The dragon cocked his head to the side then nodded in agreement. Yugi smiled. “So Shisou Hiryuu…or maybe I can just call you Shisou. That's better isn't it?” The dragon closed his eyes in non-caring, and laid his head back on Yugi's legs. The violet-eyed teen smiled.

“Shisou it is!” `Shisou' cracked an eyes open and smiled. Yugi stared.

“You have a mocking face on!” he yelled in frustration. Shisou closed his eyes again and looked to be sleeping. Yugi sighed, and continued petting him. Then, suddenly a name sprung up in his mind. Yugi's eyes widened.

 

“Oh my god…I forgot about Atemu!” he yelled. Shisou's head snapped up, staring at Yugi with wide eyes. Yugi was hitting his forehead.

 

`Damn me damn me! I shouldn't have tried to avoid him! Where did that stupid logic before come from before!? Damnit!' he screamed into his mind. Shisou butted Yugi's shoulder with his nose, confused on why the boy was freaking out. Yugi looked down at then dragon with kind eyes.

“I'm sorry Shisou…I kinda…left a friend hanging somewhere…stupid…” he muttered the last part. Shisou looked up at him with kind eyes, and then nuzzled Yugi's legs. The boy sighed.

“You don't like me to be mad do you?” he said laughing. Yugi looked down at the animals understanding eyes. Yugi suddenly felt tears in his eyes. Wiping them away, he laughed.

“I'm sorry Shisou…it's just, I met I really nice person…” Shisou placed his head on Yugi's legs, ears alert, listening to Yugi's every words. The teen continued.

“I kind of ditched him…because I'm a bit afraid…of what he must…” the boy stopped and rubbed his knuckles into his head. “Oh I don't know how to say this…” he looked down at Shisou. “Are you really understanding what I'm telling you…?” he asked. Shisou looked up at him, and nodded his head. Then he saw the small line of tears on the boys face. A small mew of sadness passes his mouth as he nuzzled the boys face. Yugi laughed.

“Don't worry Shisou, I'm not sad…just a bit disappointed in myself…” he looked to the ground while absently petting the beasts nose. “I made a stupid decision…and I most likely lost a valuable friend…” Yugi sighed, and then smiled. “But, there is a bright side to this is their not?” he rubbed the animal's ears. “I met you again…I wish I didn't have to lose one in the process…” Shisou raised his head, the butted Yugi lightly with his head. Yugi grinned. “Do you think I made more of a deal with him as friend?” he asked, and then laughed. “There's more than that…heh,” he petted Shisou's head. “Talking to you, even if you can't respond…makes me feel so much better…Shisou…you see this friend I have…Atemu,” Yugi blushed. Then deciding to at least get this off his chest, he spoke. Since Shisou couldn't talk, it was like writing in a diary almost; his secret could be safe.

“You see…I sort of…liked him more than a friend…heh, can you say love at first sight because by god I can…” he muttered to the ground. Shisou had lifted up his head in understanding, and nudged Yugi's shoulder in a smoothing way. The teen smiled at the contact.

“I know…I just met him, but that's what happened. So…he's a male as well mind you…and my family despises gays…I really don't know why so much…but they just do.” Yugi smiled, it felt good to say this to Shisou, even if he wasn't even human, it still just felt right.

“Yeah…I have asked my grandpa and relatives why…but they never answered. So, I just lived with it. And now…having a crush on a guy, if anyone in my family, or anyone slightly related to us, I'll be disown from my family…cursed for life…” he looked to the ground, eyes saddening. “But I can't help it Shisou…I can't help but just feel that way toward…toward other men…toward him…its just I can't change it!” Yugi yelled. The dragon smiled, and nuzzled Yugi's legs again. But suddenly, Shisou's ears perked up and he quickly stood, looking out at the edge of the water with alert red eyes. Yugi looked out there as well. The sky was slowly becoming lighter, daytime coming quickly. Yugi stared. Was he really out that long? He looked up at the dragon.

 

“Did I really talk that long…or did I stay on your back longer flying that I thought…?” he muttered. The dragon smiled, then leaning his neck down so Yugi could ride on him. The teen laughed, standing and walking up to the dragon, he attempted to get on the dragon. Grabbing a fist full of the dragon's mane, he jumped up and swung onto the beast's neck. Shisou beat his wings, and then body tensing; he shot forward like a dart. They skimmed over the water so fast; everything seemed to be a blur to Yugi. But they soon slowed down, Shisou's wings beating now to allow him to fly higher. Yugi looked around the ocean, and then looking forward into the distance, he could faintly see campus of the University. Laying his head down on Shisou's neck, Yugi closed his eyes, a small smile on his face as they flew over the ocean. Shisou looked back at Yugi, ruby eyes shining with care for the boy. Shifting his body around to mach Yugi's weight to he didn't fall, Shisou picked up speed, soaring across the bay toward where the teen lived. As they traveled over the sea, the sun ever so slowly began to rise as well, shedding light on the two. Yugi cracked his eyes open at the brightness of the sun. Rubbing his face, as sleep still claimed him, he looked out to the sunrise. A smile crossed his face.

 

“Wow, its so pretty…” he whispered to himself. An acknowledgement grunt met his words. Yugi chuckled and twirled his fingers in the mane of the beast. Shutting his eyes halfway again, he watched as the sun rose till the full yellow orb was above the waters horizon. The brightness of it shone onto the ocean, making it glisten. But, right as he was beginning to enjoy this, Shisou slowly descended down, for they were nearing land. As they came closer and closer to the waters edge on land, Shisou flapped his wings mightily, allowing himself to have a smooth landing. He hit the ground with a thud, lurching forward slightly, then settling stilly on the ground. Yugi dismounted, but when his feet hit the ground, he made sure to have a tight grip on Shisou so he didn't fall again. Slowly, he let go of that thick mane, standing straight; he smiled up at the beast. Shisou nuzzled Yugi's chest, making a sound like a little cute animal would make. Yugi laughed again, but soon it began to diminish. He was petting Shisou lovingly.

“I'll see you again wont I?” he asked the beast. Those ruby orbs looked up at him, amusement swimming all in their depths.

“I would say yes than?” he asked the beast again. Shisou nodded, nuzzling Yugi's chest one last time, he bent down in a stance meaning he was going to take off. Yugi stemmed back so those wings would hit him as Shisou beat them, shooting forward and into the air. Yugi watched him fly off higher into the sky and far away, till he could see the dark best no more. Yugi smiled.

 

`He always takes off in a funny way, shooting off like a bullet and then using his wings only to get up higher in the air…I never really heard of a dragon doing that, or having wings like that either. They're like angel or bird wings, not like bat wings at all. Hmm…different.' He laughed, as he traveled to his dorm. Coming upon the building, Yugi suddenly swayed on the spot. Reaching out and grasping the wall, he let his head fall to his chest.

 

“God, how am I going to get through class today…” he muttered, head bobbing in need of sleep. Taking in a yawn, he walked though the door and up the steps. Coming to his room, Yugi flipped out the keys and opened the door. He scanned the room.

 

“Ryou's left I guess…” he said guttery; eyes drooping in yearn of sleep. Grabbing his violin and backpack, Yugi walked out of his room and down the stairs. He was going to get some breakfast, but his stomach disagreed with that. It churned with slight pain, and Yugi immediately felt nausea when the thought of food came up. So, Yugi just decided to go onto class. He was going down the path, his vision fuzzy and mind not anywhere where it was supposed to be. He did not notice any of the people passing him, or when someone suddenly ran past, hitting him in the shoulder and knocking him off balance. Yugi's eyes snapped open as he fell, his limbs to tired to stand. He braced himself for another soar spot on his side or arm, but felt something else. An arm underneath him. Yugi's eyes widened more, and he looked up into crimson orbs. Yugi blinked, then shot back away from the person in fear. The other laughed.

 

“Hello there Yugi!” he greeted. Yugi blinked questionably. Wasn't he…mad?

 

“Um…hi to you to Atemu…” he started. Those violet eyes traveled to the ground. “Um…about yesterday…” Atemu laughed more.

 

“Oh, about not coming,” he winked. “I can understand. Something came up, it's fine.” Yugi blushed at that, looking to the ground.

 

“Um…yeah I kinda lost track of time…” he muttered. He looked back up at Atemu. “Of course if I told you…you wouldn't believe me…” the taller one laughed.

 

“Try me,” he said, as they began to walk. Yugi moved and walked along with him.

 

“Well…I kinda was up on the arts departments roof, and I met up with a couple bullies…” Atemu frowned at that.

 

“Really now…I wouldn't think any would be around here…” Yugi laughed.

 

“They were relatives…I don't really have a close family…it was my second cousin and step-brother,” he said. Atemu looked at Yugi kindly.

 

“They didn't hurt you did they?” he asked, concern all in his voice. Yugi half nodded.

 

“Well…they threw me off the roof,” he was intraupted.

 

“They what!?” Atemu screamed at him. “Yugi, are you sure you're all right!?” he stopped and looked over Yugi's body for cuts or bruises. The teen nodded his head.

 

“I'm fine, but, see the reason I am…is because something saved me,” Atemu looked up at Yugi's face, interest in his eyes. “A dragon saved me Atemu, a real dragon!” The older one stared.

 

“What…? Yugi, are you sure you weren't being delusional? I mean…dragons don't exist…do they?” And after that comment, Yugi went on to his story, starting from when he was ten years old to this previous meeting, of course leaving out all the parts about his family and any other secrets that were reveled last night. Atemu listened closely to every word of it, eyes wide in disbelief and awe. Once Yugi had finished, he smiled up at Atemu.

“So…yeah…amazing isn't it,” he said. Atemu half nodded.

 

“It is Yugi, and also hard to believe,” he saw the hurt in the others eyes. “But, I do believe you.” He smiled. “You don't seem like the type who seems to lie very well!” Yugi pouted.

 

“Thank you so very much…” he muttered. Atemu just laughed.

 

“Couldn't resist! Anyway, that does make up for you not coming,” he said. Yugi nodded.

 

“Heh, yeah…I didn't leave you hanging to much did I?” He asked. Atemu winked at him again.

 

“Nope,” there was mischief in his eyes. “I eventually found something else to do, it was fine.” Yugi smiled.

 

“I'm glad…oh, maybe you can meet Shisou some time!” he exclaimed. Atemu laughed.

 

“Yes maybe, what did you name the dragon again…Shisou…?” Yugi laughed.

 

“His name is now Shisou Hiryuu! I think he liked it…” he looked to the ground in thought. Atemu patted Yugi's shoulder.

 

“He did Yugi, believe me he did.”

No better place to end it.
