You Need Me As Much As I Need You, Orphan Yugi, as well as other YugiXYami parental fics out there have inspired this story. I love that pairing so much and I hope that you will enjoy this one as much as others have enjoyed them. Also I'm writing this while listening to the pita ten theme song and Your Move from the Music to duel by CD which I downloaded from the internet *it is legal!* Yahoo Music has it or a link to get it I forgot which it was a couple of years ago. I just listen to two songs. You're move, and We'll Be There. Also Pegasus is a dead man to me and doesn't exist, we're going to pretend that his company doesn't exist either. Kaiba Corp is the creator of Duel monsters since they did more with it than Pegasus did and because Chummly is such a good artist, I decided he would be in here.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or anything I might use except for some characters and I'll let you know if I own them at the end. Of each chapter.
Chapter One
Yami Atem Muto is a rather famous man. He's the co-president of the famous Kaiba Corporation along with his older cousin Seto Kaiba who is the president. They make well known games that travel world wide and their latest phenomena is the wonder of Duel Monsters which took the world by storm shortly after it's release and there is so much that could be done with it that it's still extremely popular after being around for around seven years. (I believe that's how long Yugioh has been around please correct me if I'm wrong)
The franchise has been expanded from every corner of the earth in multiple forms such as three anime seasons, (even though 5'd sucks!!!!) multiple video games, endless series of booster packs and starter decks, the creation of virtual dueling with the technology of duel disks, and even a virtual reality game have been created. If someone were to go on youtube, veoh, or even Myspace you'd find multiple AMV's, previews for fanfictions that are posted on Live journal, , or , and even abridged series that people have created based on either the anime or even the video game Falsebound Kingdom. (Believe it or not one existed a long time ago but Youtube took it down three years ago but who knows it might've been put back up)
Yami was a rather depressed person, the artist of the trading cards and the animator who was just known as Chummly who was only twenty was always worried about his bosses. They took him in when no one believed in his potential when he wasn't the smartest person in the world, and wasn't the most talented person when it came to school.
One day while Yami was walking home because he wanted to save gas and he forgot to ask Seto for a ride but he left for home before Yami did so he couldn't ask for a ride if he even wanted to. The sky was turning gray as it threatened to rain and Yami was listening to his MP3 player as he suddenly found himself falling on the ground and he heard a small 'oomph' as another person collapsed on the ground.
Yami looked up to see two children. A boy and a girl, look at him in fear. They were in a poor condition. They both wore tattered clothes that had bloodstains on then, looked rather skinny for their age, and their hair was all matted and messy. The boy had tri colored hair that were red, black and his bangs were blonde that stood straight up and looked as if he played in an electric socket. The girl however had brown and blonde hair that was slightly longer than her shoulders that stuck close to her face that was covered in mud and dirt.
"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Yami asked as he held his hand out to the girl but she flinched and moved backwards. "I won't hurt you. I promise." Yami added again holding out his hand and the girl slowly grasped his hand and he helped her up and let go of her hand and she moved back towards the boy.
"Ta…tank 'ou." The girl said hoarsely and shyly.
Yami was shocked that the girl who had to be around eight or so sounded as if she was four years old. But he supposed it was possible she had a learning defect or had previously been mute and some miracle occurred that she got a voice and had to learn how to communicate using words.
"You're welcome. Where do you two live. I'll lead you two home." Yami said. (No he's not trying to be a pedophile)
"Um…you see…" The boy started. "We dun have a home."
"That would explain a lot." Yami thought. "How old are you?"
"We're six." The girl said. "We look 'unger if we clean."
"How long have you not had a home?" Yami asked.
"Uh…no know." The boy said.
"I'm Yami Atem Muto, what are your names?"
"I'm Yugi and this is Sakura. But I call her Saku." Yugi said.
"No last name?"
"Dun member it." Sakura added.
"Why don't you follow me? I'll get you kids cleaned up and you can stay with me." Yami said.
"No rangers kidnap us." Sakura said getting in front of Yugi. "Let go Roder." Sakura added pulling Yugi along.
"Coming Saku!" Yugi called and the two ran down the street and eventually disappeared.
"Poor things. I really do wonder how long they've been out here." Yami said as he headed towards his house knowing that he wouldn't be able to convince the two to follow him.
Yami lives with a small four-month-old kitten named Tiger that he rescued from his backyard. The kitten was scared of him when he first found him but after he fed her, she loved him and hardly left his side. When he opened the door Tiger came running over knowing that Yami was home and climbed up his arms and lay down in his arms.
"Well hello to you too Tiger." Yami said laughing as he put his suitcase down and he headed over to the couch with Tiger still in his arms.
"I met two little kids who were living on the street today Tiger. I feel so bad for them, they look like they are barley able to survive." Yami sighed. "It actually makes me think." Yami added.
Just then the phone rang so Yami headed over to the phone after putting Tiger down who mewed at being put down and he answered it after looking at the caller id and saw it was Kaiba.
"Hey cous." Yami said.
"Hey, did you get home okay?" Seto asked.
"Yeah I got home just fine. Why?"
"It's raining really badly so I wanted to make sure you didn't get caught out there."
"It's raining really bad. I hope those kids are alright."
"Kids? What kids?" Seto asked confused.
"On my way home I ran into these two siblings who lived on the streets. They looked starving and so dirty that they actually looked older than they were. I thought they were eight but they were six. They're clothes were all dirty, torn, and bloody, and everything. I tried to let them come to my house to get them cleaned up but they ran away from me."
"They probably know about kidnappers. Kids usually aren't stupid Yami." Seto added.
"I know that. They sound like they're mentally challenged too." Yami said. "They spoke as if they were four."
"Not to surprising. If they looked like that they probably were living on the streets for years. They probably taught themselves how to speak. And not have anyone teach them the meaning of mama and dada."
"I just wish I can help them."
"I suppose you can call the police and tell them that two orphans are living on the streets. They can probably catch them and put them in an orphanage or get them medical attention if the blood on their clothes were serious wounds."
"I'm going to try and find them."
"Yami do you want to scar them for life. They're scared, they're young, and they're not going to understand your intentions." Seto added.
"I suppose you're right." Yami sighed.
Meanwhile out in the street, the kids were wondering the streets running away from a man who was chasing them after being caught taking some fruit from an outside fruit stand.
"Get back here you stupid kids!" The man shouted.
"Saku, what does 'upid mean!?" Yugi asked.
"No know but I dun like it." Sakura replied. "'Eep 'Unnin Roder." Sakura replied.
Finally the kids got to their hiding spot but by the time they got there they only had a few bundles of grapes left.
"Uh-oh, Sis, we had a lot more than dis." Yugi said.
"I know Roder, but we dropped a lot too." Sakura said.
"At least we got away from scary man."
"I think I'd rather go wit 'Ami."
"Dat man from efore?"
"Yeah. He seemed 'ice." Yugi said. "If we see him again, should we go?"
"No. he ill a ranger." Sakura replied. "Rangers bad."
"Dink Saku, Ranger or 'ary man?"
"…Ranger. But your safety portant." Sakura said. "Let's find a place to sleep."
"Otay." Yugi sighed.
The two kids continued down an alley and something hit the back of their heads and their weakened bodies dropped to the ground and after a few seconds both were unconscious.
Oh no, what will happen to the kids? Will Yami be able to help them? Find out next chapter.
Also I wanted to take this time to talk about Tiger. Tiger is a four month old cat that I found in a bush that was abandoned and starving. Tiger's story is the true story except I would be Yami and instead of a house, it was an apartment complex. I tried to turn the kitten to the ASPCA since I couldn't keep it like I let Yami do but guess what? The ASCPA is only open four days a week in my area! And that day it was completely closed and the police wouldn't take the kitten. Luckily my neighbor who's six was able to call someone to take the kitten and is in a loving home today.
And to answer a question I'm sure will arise, I took Sakura and Yugi's speech from my three year old nephew. The kids were mentally behind because of the fact that they were street orphans and they taught themselves how to speak. You'll find out more about them if you ask questions and I'll answer them and if I think of anything special they'll be at the beginning or end of the chapters.
Please R&R reviews turn frowns into smiles.
