Sacred Rite (Minor X-Over with Yugioh 5Ds)

"What is it that you seek?"

"Power? Glory? Control?"

A silhouette of Dragon fly over his head. The shape is hidden behind thick mist.

He reached out his hand and—

Yugo yelped when he was suddenly dumped from the cargo he had been, unwittingly, mind you, rides on.

It was only quick reflexes that saved him from being buried among scraps and other trash that was raining locally like it was going out of trend.

Narrowly avoiding a truck's tire, Yugo climbed down the mountain of junks and make his way to the ground then running away. He won't stop until he thinks he was saved from being brained and buried by junks.

Coincidentally, he stopped at edge of the land. With murky water strewn before him for a good couple meters, then beyond that, is small sea that separates him from the rest of The City.

He was in Satellite. The Junkyard and Trash Island. The place not even Commons deign to enter. This is where trash cleaned from Underground Labor Facility is send to.

Yugo was not belonged here. He shouldn't be here and yet...

And yet...

And yet here he was.

In place no one would ever find him.

All because the stupid dream and stupid argument.

He had always been haunted by strange dreams as far as he could remember. But he quickly forgot them after he wakes up. Yet lately, his dream become more vivid and easier to remember.

About a silhouette of Dragon that invokes "want" in him.

Yugo want that Dragon. He feels like he should own that Dragon. He feels entitled to own that Dragon.

He wants. He wants.

It was as if the Dragon was his sole reason to exist.

When he told Rin about the dream, she was getting angry at him for acting like entitled Topsider jerk. Of course Yugo doesn't like being compared to those snobs.

Normally he would apologize to her. But for some reason...

For some reason, last time, he lost control of his temper.

Maybe because Rin hit him. Again. Maybe because lately things haven't been good for them, again. Maybe because he found his savings was used to buy food, despite already stocking up Ramen Cup that could last them for another week.

Whatever the reason, Yugo ends up getting mad at Rin. It escalates into screaming match.

And Yugo...

Yugo stormed out of the orphanage.

"Fine! Have fun eating those stuff! Since you don't think my opinion isn't important, I'll leave! See if I care ever again!"

Yugo feels his eyes prickle with tears, remembering the last thing he said to Rin before he stormed off.

God, he was so dumb. It was just money. He can earn them again. Yeah, it means his D-Wheel will be delayed from completion, but food is good. Some change in menu is good. Rin was thinking about his health. Why he was so angry at her?

He was dumbest of dumbass.

And now...

And now he was stranded in this no-man land. With no way home. Away from Rin.

He would never see her again.

Yugo can only cover his face and sobbing.

When they say Regrets came late, they were right.
