NOTE: it is REALLY hard to summarize this fanfic ^_^
Longer Summary: Yugi is a happy boy until his step father begins to abuse him. The only comfort he has is the gold puzzle given to him before his grandfather left for Egypt. Yugi struggles to deal with his horrible home life not to mention the bullying he takes at school. Ryou is a good kid who's fate falls into the hands of a strange gift given to him by his father, soon after his life begins to spin out of control. Both boys are introduced to their 'darker side' but can they change the fate they have been given, or are they destine to suffer for the rest of their lives? (still not a good summary [I think at least] oh well)

Chapter One
It came from Egypt just for you.
Sugoroku stepped out of the car and walked up to the door. He knocked and waited for someone to answer. He knew having to leave for such a long time would be upsetting to little Yugi but he had no other choice. In this line of work you had to travel when you were needed. They had just discovered a new dig sight in Egypt and Sugoroku had to go and help.
He heard a little bit of commotion behind the door then it opened to reveal Rikoteki who seemed to be very annoyed. Sugoroku ignored him and came in.
"Ohayoo Riko-san. Where is Ketten?" Surgoroku asked inquiring about his daughter.
"At work." Riko said
"Where is my grandson?" Surgoroku said removing his jacket.
"Upstairs." Riko said then he went back into the living room with out another word.
Surgoroku headed towards the stairs and then up to the second floor. He came to a door at the end of the hall way where a light was on. He knocked on the door softly then opened it up. Yugi was sitting at his desk. He looked up right away seeing Sugoroku.
"Jichan!" Yugi yelled hopping off his chair and running over to greet his grandfather. Sugoroku scooped the boy up.
"Oh Yugi! How have you been?" Sugoroku said
"Just fine Jichan. Have you come to take me to your house to play?" Yugi said smiling.
"No Yugi, gomen, that is what I am here to talk to you about." Sugoroku said. He carried Yugi over to the bed and sat down. Yugi sat on his lap and looked up at his Jichan.
"Gomen Yugi, but I am going on a trip." Sugoroku said
"A trip? To where?" Yugi said
"To Egypt. It's very far away and I wont be back for a long time." Sugoroku said
"How long? As long as last time?" Yugi asked. Sugoroku had taken other trips to Egypt and he had only stayed a week or two at most.
"Iie Yugi, I might have to live there for a while." Sugoroku said. Yugi's face turned sad quickly.
"Demo Jichan.." Yugi began.
"I know. I wish I didn't have to go, but they need my help. I'm sorry but I am going to miss your seventh birthday." Sugoroku said. Yugi sniffled a bit.
"That's okay. You wont be gone forever. I will miss you." Yugi said hugging his grandfather.
"I will miss you too Yugi. You will stay here and take care of you mother for me wont you?" Sugoroku said
"Un." Yugi nodded
"Good. Well since I wont be here for your birthday, I brought you a present." Sugoroku said
"Really?" Yugi said returning to smiles.
"Yes, here you go, I know how much you like games and puzzles." Sugoroku said.
Yugi took the neatly wrapped box that his grandfather pulled out of his bag. There was a card on top and Yugi pulled it off. He tried to read it as best as he could.
"H-h-aa-pp-y E-ea-r-r-r-ll-y b-b-b-irth-da-y Yu-gi." He read sounding out the words slowly.
He smiled knowing the words now then he went to opening the present. He tore off a few layers of blue wrapping paper to reveal a golden box underneath. There was a few odd looking symbols on the box along with a symbol that look like an eye. It was so shiny and pretty. Sugoroku helped him remove the lid to the gold box. Inside there were some peculiar looking blocks. Each one was shaped differently and they were all gold and shiny just like the box.
"What is it Jichan?" Yugi asked picking up some of the blocks to look at them.
"It's a puzzle Yugi. It came from Egypt just for you." Sugoroku said.
Yugi found one piece in particular that looked funny. It had a loop on top. Yugi looked through the box more then found a piece that fit onto the piece with the loop. Soon he found a different piece that also connected.
"Look Jichan! They are fitting together!" Yugi said
"Yes Yugi. The puzzle is very hard though, if you forget a piece you might have to start over." Sugoroku said.
Yugi sat with his grandfather for a short while longer trying to put the puzzle together. Soon he came to a dead end. No more of the pieces would fit, so he had to take some off in order to continue. Soon Sugoroku had to leave. He set Yugi down. Yugi put the puzzle back in its box then he placed it on his desk.
"You take care of your puzzle Yugi, I hope you finish it before I return." Sugoroku said
"Un! I will! Its fun!" Yugi said.
He ran up and gave his grandfather a tight squeeze. Sugoroku hugged him then messed up Yugi's wild three colored hair. Yugi followed Sugoroku back down stairs to watch him leave. Sugoroku left the house and got in his car. Yugi looked out the window and watched as his Jichan backed out of the drive way then drove off. Yugi's eyes filled with tears. He didn't know when he would see his grandfather again and he already started to wish that he hadn't left. Yugi cried softly at the window after the car had drove out of sight.
Riko became annoyed.
"What are you cryin' for?" Riko asked from behind Yugi.
"Jichan is going to Egypt. He wont be back for a long time." Yugi said
"Oh give me a break kid. That's nothing to cry about, now get up to your room before I drag you up there. And stop crying before your mom comes home and yells at me about making you cry!" Riko said popping open another beer.
Yugi nodded then wiped his tears and headed back to his room. Riko was his mother's husband. They had gotten married not more then a few months ago. He wasn't very nice, as a matter of fact when ever Yugi was left at home with him, Riko would often yell at him a lot and tell him he wasn't allowed out of his room. This didn't really bother him since he didn't want to be around Riko anyway. Riko would often invite all kinds of people over every weekend and they would make all kinds of noise and sit around the living room watching TV.
Yugi got back to his room and he went right to his desk. He opened the box with the golden puzzle pieces in it. He took it out and began to work on the puzzle. If he could see his Jichan for a while he could at least finish the puzzle and show him when he got back that he was able to get it put together.
However the more pieces he put together the harder it got.
***
Yugi heard the door shut down stairs. Hoping it was his mother he jumped up to go see her. He got out of his room and he was about ready to go down the steps when he heard his mom and Riko talking. He inched over and sat down on the steps to listen.
"Your old man stopped by." Riko said sitting on the couch.
"Oh yeah? What did he say?" Ketten said.
"I don't know. You little brat talked to him. I guess he is leaving." Riko said
"Leaving? He must have gotten a call about a job. Where is Yugi-chan?" Ketten asked. Yugi was about to get up to come down the stair at that point but Riko had already given an answer.
"Sleeping I guess, why don't you and me go up to the bed room?" Riko asked getting up from the spot on the couch. He walked up to Ketten and put his arms around her. He reached in for a kiss but she stopped him.
"You smell like beer, are you drunk?" She asked.
"I only had a few." Riko said backing up getting mad.
"Whatever, I'm tired I'm going to bed." Ketten said then she went to go up the stairs.
Yugi got up and hid behind the door in his room. Ketten didn't see him then she walked pasted his room and headed to her room. Yugi peeked out timidly to see. He then heard Riko curse loudly from the bottom of the steps. Yugi yelped and hid again hearing loud foot steps coming up the stairs. Soon his mother and Riko were in their room. Since the room was not more then 5 feet from his he could hear them arguing a bit. Yugi sat down on the floor and listened.
"Common Babe, you can't just turn me down like that." He heard Riko say
"Riko, Yugi is in the next room, and you are drunk, now just go to bed." He heard his mother say.
"Damnit, Yugi doesn't matter, he is sleeping! And me have a few beer has never stopped us before!" Riko said raising his voice.?
"I said no, now go to bed! Don't you have to work tomorrow?" Ketten said. Yugi could hear them moving around a lot.
"No I quit my job, damn boss was given me shit. I got my self a new hook up that's gonna pay out more. A few friends set me up to work with them." Riko said
"Whatever, just get off me!" Ketten said raising her voice more.
"Damn full of energy today aren't you?" Riko said
"Damnit Riko, get the hell off me!!" Ketten yelled.
Yugi heard more sounds coming from the room. It sounded as if things were falling over. Then he heard a crash and a small cry. Yugi jumped up to go see is his mom was okay. He opened the door to see Riko had pushed Ketten onto the floor taking a lamp with them.
"Get off my momma!!" Yugi yelled then he ran up and pulled at Riko's shirt.
"Yugi-chan!" Ketten said frightened.
"Damnit Yugi! Why aren't you in bed?!" Riko yelled.
Riko reached up and pushed Yugi away then got up. He grabbed Ketten by the shirt then pulled her to her feet. He shoved her into the wall. Yugi raced up to try and stop him. Riko turned to the boy and slugged him right across the face. Yugi fell backwards onto the floor. He brought his hand to hold the quickly forming bruise. Tears formed in his eyes.
"Oi kozo didn't I tell you to stay in your room?!" Riko yelled.
Yugi only nodded with tears rolling down his cheeks. Ketten covered her mouth with one hand. Riko had never actually hit Yugi before. This was the first time it had happened. Ketten got up.
"Yugi-chan!" She said then she scooped up Yugi in her arms. He cried softly but he was more worried about his mother.
"Okasan..dijoubu desu ka?" Yugi said keeping his hand over his cheek.
"I'm fine Yugi-chan. Lets get you in bed okay?" Ketten said. She shot a cold glance at Riko.
"Oh quit babying him, he is just fine." Riko said just as Ketten slammed the door behind her to go take Yugi to bed. She took him to is room and set him down.
"Yugi-chan, put your pajamas on okay? I'm going to get some ice for your cheek." She said.
Yugi could tell she was scared. He did what she said and then he looked over at the gold box on his desk. Ketten returned quickly to the room with an ice pack. She put it on Yugi's cheek where there was a deep bruise already visible.
"Yugi-chan, I'm sorry, Riko didn't mean it." Ketten said shakily. Yugi just nodded his head.
"Look Kasan. Jichan got me a early birthday present!" Yugi said. He sat down at his desk and opened the gold box up. Ketten looked over the puzzle.
"How pretty. So what did your Jichan have to say?" Ketten asked
"He said he was going away to live in Egypt and he wont be back for a long time." Yugi said getting sad once again.
"Oh Yugi-chan, don't cry, maybe we will go visit him someday." She said hugging him. Yugi smiled.
"Now get into bed okay? Its late." Ketten said. She tucked him into bed then shut the light off.
"Goodnight Okasan." Yugi said
"Goodnight Yugi-chan." Ketten said. She shut the door behind her.
Yugi tried to sleep but he couldn't He missed his grandpa and his cheek hurt. The ice was cold and it numbed his face too much. Yugi rolled over to his side and tried to ignore the constant yelling coming from the next room.
