Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Life I gave for You ❯ Destined Rebirth ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 2, Destined Rebirth?

"waaaaah!" A baby cried. I looked at is suspiciously. Is this her? I looked at mom.

"Yes Seto, this is your new baby sister," she said.

"But won't father not like having a girl?" I asked.

"Well, yes, but after two miscarriages with girls, he's accepted that a girl will be born into this family, not that he likes it at all," she replied, "Seto, look at this. Come on up here. Do you want to hold her? You're a big brother now, right?" I jumped up on the bed and looked closely at the kid. I hoped mom would be able to come home soon. I put a finger in the baby's hand; it moved its little fingers around my finger.

"She is so little," I said.

"Yes, but she'll get bigger. I need you to promise me something Seto. She was born blind, but I expected that. I need you to protect her," Mom said.

"Won't she be able to protect herself?" I asked.

"I want her to learn from you, about family and how we can always depend on one another. Promise me Seto. She needs protection," Mon said this so firmly that I knew she was serious. I nodded, it couldn't be too hard.

"All right, I'll protect her," I said, "I promise."

"Honey, slow down on this road," Mom said.

"I know what I'm doing!" Father cried, and then angrily swerved. My parents were fighting because of me. I knew it was my fault. It always was. I was three now, with Seto as my big brother, and I had a little brother too. I called Moki, because I couldn't pronounce his full name, Mokuba yet, so I called him a nickname, and Seto eventually caught onto it. He was a little older now, and really smart. He taught me how to read some of my picture books. I looked out the window. It was just me, mom and dad driving home, and the road wasn't exactly in the best shape, and my dad had just taken a wrong turn.

"DAD, LOOK OUT!!" I cried and the car crashed into the darkness of the night.

"She'll have major injuries for some time. It's a shame now, no parents," a voice said. I opened my eyes slowly. Had I just heard no parents?

"Momma?" I asked groggily.

"You're awake? That's good news, at least. You were just in surgery little one, you were in a rough accident," another voice said.

"Where's my momma?" I asked, now feeling very scared.

"Your mom isn't here with us anymore. She… she died in the accident you were just in," the voice said. I looked around and sensed two female figures and one male.

"Where are Seto and Moki?" I asked, "Where're my brothers?"

"They arrived at the orphanage earlier today. We couldn't send you because you were hurt, and now your Godparents are saying that they'll take care of you and signed the papers so you could leave," the male voice said.

"Wha?" I asked, "Why not call my grandpa?" I did still have Grandpa Forest, didn't I?

"We did, he said he would take you but not your brothers, which was odd. But anyways, your godparents wanted you to meet them somewhere, because they can't get here directly to pick you up," the man said.

"Yeah, okay, so I can go?" I asked.

"As soon as your test results get back. We'll leave you alone though for a moment, you must need some time to realize all this," a female said. They exited the room, they were right; I did need to process this. My mom, who had defended me from loads, dead? So was dad? What about Seto? Wouldn't he come for me? I didn't care if I had to live in an orphanage, but we'd be together, right? Right? Why not come with me, and where was I going? Oh, was it in the stories mamma told me about, about the place of worlds encased in a tree? I sang softly a song I knew my mamma had sung to me, it was in a language long forgotten. Then I broke down and cried. What did I have now? Where should I go? I had to… I had… I wished mamma wasn't dead. She'd know what to do.

"MAMMA!" I cried, the tears streaming down my face.
