Chapter 3: A meeting by chance

Disclaimer: Forgot one last chapter, oops. Well, I dun own Yu-Gi-Oh, or anything else, except for plot, the character that has yet to be named, and the Tree of Portals, and maybe another original character or two that I have. Let the story begin! Please REVIEW!!

I arrived at the place my mom had often talked about that night. It was raining and cold and the doctors and nurses gave me a ride here, then left, not even bothering to ask if I wanted company as I waited. I saw a game store, called the Turtle Game Store. It had an overhanging, so I could wait under there and not get really wet. I sat underneath it, shivering slightly and clutching my two bags, I had gotten some of the stuff out of our house, and the rest would be delivered later. Did Seto think I died in the crash? Maybe no one told him. I'd send him a letter; I'm a big girl now.

"Um, little girl, what are you doing out here in the rain?" A kindly voice asked. I looked around, and didn't see anything.

"Who's there?" I asked. You'd think that a nurse would've stayed with me because I'm blind, right?

"Let's see, my name is Mr. Mutou, I own this game store whose porch you are sitting upon," he said.

"I'm sorry. I'll move," I said, and stood and moved to my right, tripping because I didn't see the step.

"OW!" I might have been a psychic, but I must have missed a step.

"Here, let me help you. What are you doing here so late at night?" he asked, helping me up and brushing me off. I had landed myself a puddle and everything was wet.

"I'm… waiting for someone. Trouble is, I dun know what they look like, and I can't see very well, not at all, so I don't know…" I trailed, unsure if I should tell him anymore. I wasn't getting any sense of evil from this man, rather, the exact opposite.

"Well, no sense in waiting out here. And you're blind? Oh my, well anyways, come inside. No sense being in the rain when I have a warm upstairs for you. Come inside, you can meet my grandson, and whoever is looking for you can just knock and I'll see who it is. You must be tired," he said, and I heard the unlocking of a door, and I was taken inside. He led me up some stairs, careful not to let me bump, and sat me down on a couch somewhere. I looked around nervously.

"I'll go see if my grandson has some extra clothes you can borrow and I'll take you things and get them into the dryer. Are you hungry?" he asked. I slowly nodded my head, unsure of how to take this kindness when I had never received it before.

"Grampa? What is all the noise? I was sleeping!" A small boy's voice piped up.

"Ah, Yugi, you're awake. I'm sorry I woke you up, but it seems we have a visitor. I'm going to see if I can find her some dry clothes of yours to wear, she's almost soaked through," The man replied, "grab a towel for her while you're by the closet." I heard the movement of feet and then a towel was pressed up into my face. I took it gratefully and wiped my face dry.

"What's your name?" The boy asked, "Mine's Yugi, Yugi Mutou." I didn't exactly think my name mattered that much, but…

"Katherine Anne Forest," I said, "I'm Cat."

"Cat, what a funny name. Should be easy to remember though. I'm 5 years old!" he bragged.

"Well, I'm three, and your name sounds familiar," I said. It did in a way, almost too familiar.

"Here we are, they're just pajamas, but that's okay, we should all be heading to bed anyways," the man said again, and I felt some warm clothes pressed onto my lap.

"I don't know how to repay your kindness sir," I said, turning red.

"It's not a bother. Helping people out, no matter what is always important. I'm just glad I found you when I did. You might have caught a cold. Or pneumonia. Yugi, you should show her where the bathroom is," he said, and Yugi gladly took my hand and led me to the bathroom. I arrived there and slipped inside.

"If you need any help, I'll help you out," he said, "I'll wait till you're done. Grandpa is putting a sleeping bag next to my bed for you." He was cute, I could tell. He talked like a girl, but he sounded really cute. I hurried up and changed, making sure I had dried off fully, then we went into his bedroom, and he made sure I got into the general area where the sleeping bag was, which was next to his bed. I heard him climb in.

"So, why are you waiting for someone?" he asked, but luckily I didn't have to answer right then because the grandpa was talking at that moment.

"Lights out Yugi, you have school tomorrow," he called, "Good night, oh, did you have a name?"

"She's Cat! Cat with a C I bet!" Yugi replied and I blushed. I heard the clicks of the lights.

"Anyways," he whispered, "why?"

"My parents, there was an accident, and I am waiting to go home with my godparents. I have brothers, but they didn't bother to look for me, I guess, maybe they though I was dead," I replied.

"Wow, you have no parents? That's sad. I don't, but I have Gramps and that's fine," he said, "he is really nice and I bet if you stayed here for a while it'd be okay because then I would have someone to play with. Hey, you okay?" he asked, "You look like you are cold. Are you? Hey, I know, come up and sleep in my bed! We'd both stay warm!" I stood and felt his hand guide me to the bed. I sat down gingerly.

"You sure?" I asked.

"We'll pretend it's a sleepover," he said, and pulled me into his arms. I lay down and snuggled into the covers and him. It seemed really familiar now, like I have done this before.

"You're warm," I said, curling up against him.

"Really? So are you. Say, if you aren't picked up tomorrow, wanna come into school with me? Just so you don't have to spend the day here?" Yugi asked.

"Won't I be a problem? I can't see anything," I said.

"I'll help you," he said, and that caused me to blush. For the first time, I felt like I was home.

School was fun! I never went before, but I had solved a triangle and proved it to be like another, and for the rest of the day I was called smart for being so young. I didn't know why it was such a big deal, Seto had showed me one once, so I decided to show one for show and tell in class. Yugi had called me his cousin, and did all the work on the board, even if I had to spell something out for him, because I couldn't see. He was very helpful and I liked him, a lot. When we got home, Gramps offered us hot cocoa, and we worked on puzzles and games. He was good at games, and I did well on all the 3-D puzzles.

DING-DONG!!

The bell had rung, and I got this feeling. Gramps went to see who it was.

"Hello, we have reason to believe that a Miss Forest has been staying here?" a female asked.

"Yes, are you the ones who came to pick her up?" Gramps asked.

"Yes, we're her godparents, Haruka and Michiru. We have come to take her home," another said. I stood up without knowing it and began to speak in another dead language.

"Cat, what's wrong?" Yugi asked, standing up and trying to shake me, "Are you okay, you're talking funny." It broke my trance and I looked into the direction of his voice.

"Yes, I'm fine. I think I have to go now. But can I have a picture of you? Just in case I can see one of these days?" I asked.

"Sure, but do you have to go so soon?" he asked, "We were having so much fun!"

"We'll see each other again!" I said, hugging him. He ran to his room, and then right back to me, and placed a picture and a box in my hand.

"Well then, take this. I got it out of a machine, a card and a ring, and this is a picture of me. Don't worry, I don't think I'll ever forget your face," he said.

"Ahh, there you are little one. Are you ready to go? Haruka has gone to get your things," a woman said, and hugged me slightly.

"Am I going home?" I asked. I was ready to go, I could then finally learn the truth, and then, maybe then I'd be allowed to cry.

"Yes, it'll be home. Don't worry boy, we'll keep her safe. We'll protect her as we would family. You two will see each other again," she said.

"We better, I already gave her a promise ring, and I don't want anyone to break a promise like that. If you can see, then send me something and tell me. I hope you'll be okay now. I won't worry, but Gramps seems fond of you, so he might. Don't give up!" he said, "You'll find your brothers again someday." I giggled; he did have a good memory. A lot had to be done now, because I felt something calling me now, and I had to see what it was. The woman Michiru carried me all the way to where ever we were going. I remember waving to Yugi for the longest time. We'd meet again, I knew it.

Slifer the Sky Dragon opened its eyes.
