Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Eyewitness ❯ The Murder ( Chapter 1 )

I've read many angel fics, with a few having Yami as the angel. So I got an idea for my own angel fic. Yugi is a 15-year old who lives in New York. Yami is an angel who has been watching Yugi since the day of his birth. When Yugi is on his way home from school one day, he witnesses a murder. Now the killer is out to kill Yugi, and Yami is sent to protect him.

Chapter 1: The Murder

It was a peaceful day in the Bronx. Yugi lived with his parents. His parents were very loving to just about everyone. His father was a police officer, and his mother was a part-time nurse. Yugi felt as safe as he could he. He had lavender eyes, red, black and blonde hair, wide childish eyes and pale skin. He was currently at home since it was a Sunday. On Sundays, they went to the morning service at a Lutheran Church.
He was helping his mother out with cleaning the house. For a 15-year old, he looked only 9 at 4'6''. Because of his small size, he only had the responsibility of cleaning the toilets and sinks in the bathroom, and sweeping the kitchen floor. He was very good at those chores. He always kept his room clean, so all he had to do there was change the sheets off his bed.
His father worked from 10am to 8pm Monday thru Saturday, and 12pm to 4pm on Sundays. He didn't get a lot of time with his family except on Sundays and holidays. Yugi and his mother never complained. After all, his father was protecting the city and its people. Having a nurse in the family was a bonus as well. Their house had a medical room with all the supplies needed in case of sickness or injury.
Yes, life was good for the three of them. Yugi just relaxed at home the rest of the day. Yugi's father had to work overtime today and came home at 8:30; the drive to and from work was half an hour. The mother was there to greet him.
"Hi Roger, have a good day?" she asked.
"I sure did Cindy," Roger responded. "We busted a drug dealing operation today," he added.
"Well that's more criminals off the street," Cindy said. "Yugi, your father's home."
Yugi came running out of his room and jumped into his father's arms.
"Hey little guy," Roger said.
"Hi daddy," Yugi said.
They always ate dinner together. After dinner, Yugi had an hour to himself before going to bed at 10pm. His bedtime was always 10pm Sunday through Thursday because his classes started at 7am sharp. The next morning, his alarm clock went off at 6 o'clock. He got up, got his uniform and went to the bathroom. He took a bath since he was too short to reach the showerhead.
Half an hour later, he got dressed and went to the living room. His mother already left for work, but had prepared breakfast. He had his breakfast. Five minutes later, he grabbed his backpack and walked out the door. He was very close to his school. It only took him twenty minutes to walk there. He always got there five minutes early.
By getting there five minutes early, he got to his first class a little early. The other students were walking in now. His first class was Religion. The teacher walked in, ready to give the day's lesson.
"Good morning class," the teacher said.
"Good morning Pastor Gray," the class said, ready to receive the lesson.
Out of all his classes, Yugi loved Religion the best. He was born a Lutheran and loved to hear the teachings of Scripture.
"The lesson for this week will be on angels," the pastor said. "Angels are supernatural beings who spend their days praising the Lord our God. They have wings of eagles and robes of the purest white. The angels have helped people like Lot and the Israelites back in the biblical day," he added.
"How did the angels help Lot?" Yugi asked.
"Lot and his family lived in a violent town. One night, an angel came to him. Lot was told to leave with his wife and children because the Lord would destroy the town with fire. He was also told that he and his family were not to look back as he ran. He did what the angel told him. His wife looked back at the destruction and was turned into a pillar of salt for disobeying," Pastor Gray responded.
Time seemed to fly for Yugi because the bell seemed to ring early. It has been 50 minutes into the day, but it only seemed like 10 to Yugi. He believed in God, the Son Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and everything to do with Scripture with his heart, mind and soul. He even volunteered to do Bible Study some days.
'I really hope to meet an angel one day,' he thought.
The teaching about angels was a coincidence because Yugi would indeed meet an angel soon. He did well in all his other classes, but Religion was the most important to him (A/N: That's why I'll only talk in detail about the Religion class most of the time). His day ended at 12pm, leaving him plenty of time to finish is homework before this father came home.
Unfortunately, things wouldn't be peaceful this day. He just got out of the school building when he heard a woman scream. He followed the sound to a nearby alley. He saw a big guy with a knife in his hand and a gun in his pocket.
"Why are you doing this Harry?" the woman asked.
"You lied to me Lila. I can't believe that you, my own wife, would get me fired from the Federal Government behind my back," Harry responded.
"I wanted to help you. The best way was to have you fired. To sell drugs without the Federal Government knowing it is wrong. You couldn't do that; you were contradicting your line of work," Lila said.
"This is how I thank you," Harry said as he stabbed her with the knife. He stabbed her in the heart, took the gun out of his pocket and shot her in the spot he stabbed her.
Lila screamed in pain before she had not a single breath left in her. She was dead. Yugi saw the whole thing from behind a trashcan. He was about to leave when he accidentally knocked a lid over. Harry heard the crash and turned to see Yugi. He fired at Yugi.
Yugi couldn't get completely out of the bullet's path and was shot in the left shoulder. He held his shoulder in pain as he ran home. Cindy was on the porch when she was Yugi. Her shift was from 6am to 11am. She was about to greet him when she saw him holding his shoulder.
"Yugi what's wrong?" she asked.
Yugi showed him her shoulder. She was horrified when she saw the bullet wound.
"Let's get inside quickly," she said. She led Yugi inside and into the medical room. She was able to get the bullet out. She X-rayed him and found that his shoulder blade and upper arm were broken. She wrapped his shoulder and upper arm in a cast.
Yugi went to his room with his mother close behind. Once there, Yugi lay down in his bed.
"What happened Yugi?" Cindy asked.
"I was walking out of the school building when I heard a scream. I followed it to an alley and hid behind an empty trashcan. I saw an ex-Federal Agent kill his own wife. I was about to leave when I knocked over a lid. He heard me and turned to see me. He fired at me. I couldn't get completely out of the bullet's path, and it implanted itself in my left shoulder. I ran all the way here," Yugi responded.
"Oh Yugi, that's terrible," Cindy said. She called the school.
Yugi's day was over at noon, by the staff didn't get to go home until 3pm.
"Hello this is Mr. Bell speaking," the principal said into the phone.
"Hi Mr. Bell, this is Cindy. My son Yugi won't be in school for a while because he was shot in the shoulder," Cindy said.
"Oh my, what happened?" Mr. Bell asked.
"He witnessed a murder and got shot while trying to leave," Cindy responded.
"Tell him to be safe adn get better soon," Mr. Bell said before he hung up.
Cindy hung up and tucked Yugi in. She then called the police station where her husband worked. She told the chief the bad news. The chief called for Roger. Roger came into the room a few minutes later.
"Yes sir," Roger said.
"I'm afraid I have bad news. Your wife just called me; she told me that your son has been shot," the chief siad. "Take as much time off as you need. You'll get your check by mail."
"Thank you sir," Roger said. He got in his Suburban and sped down the road. He got home in half the time it usually took him. He hurried inside and went straight to Yugi's room. He was horrified at seeing Yugi's bandaged shoulder and upper arm.
"I just got finished talking to the hospital. I can stay here for as long as I need to. My paycheck would be mailed to me," Cindy said.
"Same with me," Roger said. "We both need to be here with our son."



Sorry, but I have to end it here. Don't worry; Yugi will meet Yami in the next chapter. Preview for Chapter 2: The Guardian Angel: Yugi is constantly under pressure by threats from the killer. His father calls for Federal help because he and Cindy are worried sick about their son's safety. Even with Federal help, Yugi doesn't feel safe because the killer was once one of them. When he returns to school, he meets Yami. Yugi doesn't know that Yami's an angel when they first meet. Is Yugi safe at school? Unfortunately, he is not. There are going to be some huge action scenes in this chapter that you don't want to miss out on.
