Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Starting a New Life ❯ In the begining ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 1: In the beginning

My life was a normal as you could say boring. I loved to draw and create art on a computer program called Photoshop Elements. I had friends. Close friends, but not many. My school was ordinary too. Normal teachers, students, and buildings. Nothing fancy. But acceptable. Enough about my life. I want to tell you a tale that changed my life forever.

Like any normal girl I had homework to do. Both parents worked so I had the whole house to myself. Save for my dogs snoring. I giggled as my god started to twitch and pretend to go after something in his dream. I shook my head and got back to my homework. Sadly it was math. The worst thing was that it was algebra and I was really bad at it. Not fun, ne? I sighed at got up to get a snack. " Might as well wait for my mom and dad to get home to help me," I sighed and went upstairs to my computer. I at my Popsicle as the computer booted up. I signed into my msn and clicked on the Internet link. When I got my homepage I typed in the address bar my favorite Yu-gi-ob site. It had fan fiction, art, and pictures of them.

" Bakury-kun," I giggled happily as I clicked on his part of the site. That was what I loved about the site; each character had its own part of the site. Yes, as you probably noticed, I am totally head over heels for Bakura. I like Ryou too but I am more into the type that is… well you get the idea. " It would be awesome to go into yu-gi-oh," I muttered dreamily and clicked on different pictures.

*Damn* I thought as the phone rang. " Hey ma," I said picking up the phone and answering. " Hi honey, would you please put the ham in the oven," my mother asked. " Sure thing," I replied. " Thank you," she said and hung up.

I hung up and walked back upstairs and turned off my computer, much to my disappointment. I walked back downstairs and went into the kitchen. From there I took out the ham from the refrigerator and put it in the hot oven. And soon the house was filled with a mouthwatering aroma. I turned on the TV and popped in my yu-gi-oh tape to watch the whole series again. My favorite episode was the one where Marik (A/N evil Marik) and Bakura were dueling to get rid of one another. Bakura was housing Malik (A/N Yeah good Malik!) in his body. (A/N hmm where did Ryou go?)

I heard the garage open and my mother step inside the house. " Hey ma," I greeted setting the last dish on the table. " Hi honey. Did you put the ham in the oven," she asked setting down her purse. I noticed she had bruises on her wrists.

"Mom, what happened," I asked gently taking her wrist in my hand. " Oh I just fell on the stairs and my hands broke my fall," she covered up. I knew that wasn't the case. I knew my dad came home drunk and abused my mother. He even turned on me before. But I am not going to explain that now.

" You can do whatever you want until dinner," my mother said fixing herself a glass of water and sitting down to watch the news. " Alright," I said kissing her on the cheek and walked upstairs to my extra room. My friends thought I was lucky to be an only child. It's nice but it can get kind of lonely sometimes. My pen pal, Ashleigh, has a sister and brother to talk to. I turned the TV again, closed my door, and lay down to watch TV. Some of you might think we are a perfect family. Always listening, always nice. Well that is very far from the truth. We aren't the perfect family.

A few years ago we found out my father drinks late into the night and comes home drunk to abuse my mother. I hear them yelling every night and I cry myself to sleep. Sighing I got up from the couch after awhile and turned on my computer again. This time I went to the site with the best Yu-gi-oh fan fiction. Reading one, it reminded me of a horrible night a couple of years ago. Moving my hair aside and traced an old scar that I had gotten from my dad that night. It went from the back of my neck and dragged to the left side of my body. But I don't want explain right now.

Suddenly I heard the garage open. Stiffening up I prayed to god my father wasn't in a bad mood. I heard the door open and my father's footsteps in the hall. I heard him yell at my mother, " Where's dinner!" Tears flooded my face as I heard a gun shot sound and my mother scream. Gasping I ran to the door and locked it. * Oh my god he just killed my mother! * I screamed mentally. Gasping I heard my fathers footsteps coming up the stairs.

I backed away from the door as my father banged onto it. I could tell he had one too many drinks. * Oh my god * I thought and I heard my father running into the door. " Open the fuckin door," my father yelled in a drunken rage. I looked to the TV screen and saw Yugi and his friends walking in the park. The door broke down and my father stormed in. Striding over to me he punched me in the gut causing me to fall to the ground. I couldn't do anything as he beat me into a bloody pulp.

Something in me just snapped. I didn't try to fight him. I didn't care what he did to me. My mother was dead. What was I supposed to live for now? I looked up at my father with tears rolling down my cheeks. He had the gun pointing at my chest. " This is what you get," he sneered and pulled the trigger. Pain instantly consumed me as the bullet entered my chest. The pain was unthinkable. Blood was pooling to my left. My life's blood was running out of me gush by gush. Before my last moments of life left I saw my father pull the trigger on himself. I coughed and looked at the screen. Bakura was on walking by himself to his home. " Bakury-kun," I muttered as I fell into unconsciousness.
