Reincarnation

Dear Readers,

Before we begin I have a few things to warn you of. One, that the fact that this story involves the belief that a person's soul can become reincarnated or reborn into a new body. The belief that a soul remembers it's past life as well at times. As said a million times before I do not own YGO! Nor any of it's characters, blah, blah, blah.... Now, we start our tale....

Sincerely,

FB

Chapter 1

Blood blossoming forth from both their chests.... Blood pouring out of his stomach..... Blood on his hands, the floor.... Mad laughing of the man that had killed them both..... Yugi.... Sweet Yugi who had also died to try to stop the bullets and yet. Failed.... The blurring of colors then.... Nothing..... A void of no light, no life.... No life....

.....

A babe was pulled from his mother's cavity wailing at the top of it's lungs while squirming in the doctor's grasp. "This one's a live wire.", the doctor told the nurse who just giggled and took the infant, "Well, no wonder it's a boy.",

.....

A small, two- year old boy stood clutching Becky, his babysitter's hand tightly. He was watching all these people he didn't know coming into the home. But, little Path knew what was happening, Mommy and Daddy were never coming home again. He remembered his life where he at least had one other with him when this happened, but here he was alone.... All alone he couldn't help but start crying of course all his mouth had managed to form were rudimentary words. Yet, he understood what the men were saying, orphanage, both dead, drunk driver, cliff.... He felt Becky ruffle his black hair with concern. No relatives, no parents and now.... No home.... Alone, the one word this child understood more than anyone else on earth.

.....

Seto's eyes snapped open as the orphanage instructor rang the wake up bell. "What's for breakfast today?", the kid before him asked.

"Only cold broth today, child, sorry.", she repeated as she did almost everyday.

"But, how will that help with our hunger?", One dared to ask.

"Someday you'll find a home, little one, but for now eat at least the broth.", she replied.

Seto looked at the bone thin frame that he was in this life, scrawny, the only fat on him was in his face, and it was just slight. Living on broth, one eighth the cup of rice and dirty water did that to you day in and day out. He remembered a time of luxury and comfort like one remembers snow on a summer's day. This was the worse funded orphanage in the county. Seto wished he had told Yami and Yugi he'd loved them both so much.... But, here, now that couldn't be done. The nights were open to the weather really, so many holes in the roof and windows. The blankets were thin as paper, as were the walls. Seto could hear the rats scurrying through the place at night as well... But, tonight he would find a better life for himself, he knew what the outside world was like and he wanted to see it again.

It wasn't so hard to go through the hole in the wall. Nor would it be hard to find his way to a town since one wasn't too far away, about two hours walk. So, with a bag of a little rice and a reason at hand, he left his one last sure way of gaining food. Mokuba might not know who he was, but that was a better bet, Japan. It would be better to find Yugi and Yami there. Seto had watched Mokuba's progress with a broken radio that the orphans all listened to all the time. Now, he was about twenty and actually doing really well on his own but Seto still worried Mokuba was taking a risk by stating his belief in reincarnation. Yet, it had given Seto the hope he needed when there was no food long enough to kill a couple younger kids. Mokuba still believed he was a live living a new life. Stating his opinion was a calling for Seto to come back to him. Yet, Yami and Yugi were first on his mind. What if they had passed on, or were trapped in the shadow realm, or he couldn't find them? Seto set his eyes on the long, hard road and started to walk... Towards a small town a couple hours away.

End Chapter: Sorry so short, but, you know what? It was originally a prolog, but of course, FF.Net doesn't have prolog listed among the options so, I write by chapters. Oh well. Next chapter: Yugi and Yami!!!!!! Both! ^.^'''' Please R&R
