Hurting Hands and Helping Hands--part 1

This story is based on the original Yugioh! series. It belongs to whoever created it in the original Shonen Jump, not me, I've only changed some things to go along with my story. Since I cannot STAND Yami Bakura, he is an evil beast, I made up another reason for Bakura Ryou's sadness. Also, because I myself am a Christian, there's a dash of that in there, too.


"Yugi !" came a faint call.

A mass of dirty-blond hair moved slightly on the pillow.

The call came a little louder. "Yugi, are you up? "

"Mmmm...."

Finally, there was a knock at the door, and a grey-haired head appeared as the door opened.

Solomon Moto's violet eyes settled theirgaze on the lump in his grandson's bed."Yugi? You said you were meeting your friends at eight-thirty,didn't you? "

At the question, a pajama-clad body sat straight up. "Oh, yeah!What time is it, Grandpa? ""Seven-forty. "

The boy was out of bed in half a second. "I'll be down soon,Grandpa ! "

Yugi's grandfather smiled and closed the door to the room."That boy is such a blessing," he thought to himself, heading downthe stairs. Glancing celing-ward he said softly, "I wish you twocould be here to watch him grow. "

Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, the old man went through adoor. There, he found a boy leaning over the counter in his game and hobby shop.

Moto folded his arms and stood silent a moment, listening to the boy mutter, "Whoa, that's cool," and, "I gotta get me one 'a those."before finally clearing his throat.

"A-HEM! Joey, can I help you? "

Yugi's friend Joey Wheeler jumped six inches, then whirled to facethe old man. The boy's cheeks went red. "Uh....hiya, Mister M.Yugi up yet? "

In answer, the boy got a raised eyebrow. "Joey--how did you get in here? I haven't unlocked the front door yet. "

Joey looked around as if nervous. "Uh...."

"Please don't tell me you picked the lock on the back door again. "

"Eh-uh, okay, I won't. "

"Joey--"

"I'm sorry, Mr. M, it was cold out there. "

Yugi's grandfather shook his head. "Joey--next time, please knock.The last thing I want is for the police to catch you out there doing that, understand? "

"Yes, sir." the teen assured, swallowing hard.

Moto rolled his eyes. "Excuse me, son. "He walked past Joey, who turned to see a dark-haired young man standing outside the glass door of the shop.

"Aw, man..." Joey grumbled, as Mr. Moto unlocked the door and let the young man in

.The newcomer's sharp eyes focused on Joey. "I am not even going toask how you got in here, Joey. "

"An' I would not even tell you anyways, Tristan. "

"Excuse me, but could you two not argue for--say, an hour or so?Please? "

Tristan looked over Joey's shoulder at the stairway door to see Yugi standing there, a pleading look in his eyes.

Joey turned around. "Sure, Yug. No problem. "

"Yeah," Tristan added, "If Joey can keep his mouth shut. "

For that he got a backwards glare over Joey's shoulder. "'Ey--"

"Oh, no." came a new voice. "If you two are going to duke it out,wait until we get to the park so the store won't get wrecked, okay? "

Yugi looked past his two friends to see a girl standing at the door.

"Tea, thank goodness. "

He walked past the other two boys and headed for the door.

Tea Gardener pushed her short brown hair over one ear and smiled atYugi's grandfather.

"Good morning, Mr. Moto. "

"Good morning, Tea." Yugi's grandfather answered as he opened the cash register. "Keep those boys in line, won't you ? "

"I'll do my best, sir." the girl called as she ran out the doorafter the boys.
