What a Wonderful World ( A Yugioh Fanfic)

Chapter 1: Memories

The radiant sun was set perfectly above the beach as the bubbling waves washed on shore. The beach was remote so hardly anyone knew of it. The only people currently on the beach were playing on the hot sand. They had been running in circles for hours, leaving many trails behind them in the dusty rocks. All had a smile planted on their face. Each glowed with happiness.

One of the people stopped. He was tall and muscular, sporting a bathing suit that looked good only on him. His long, ebony hair fell into his eyes, which he instinctively brushed away. The man fell to his knees, laughing.

"I give up, Allison. I give up. You win. The sun setting on the ocean is better than the sun rising," he said.

The only female on the beach stopped and put her hands on her waist, smiling. Her strawberry-blond hair was pulled back into to a rare ponytail, allowing her husband to clearly see her violet eyes. "Oh, no, my love. I am not going to let you give up that easily, Nathan. You nearly tickled me to death, you tickling monster. Let's see. Should I tickle you or... tickle you? What do you think, precious?"

Allison looked down at the extremely small child standing to her left. His violet eyes shone as brightly as the sun. His milky white skin was developing a slight tan. His tri-colored hair was spiked. He was missing his two front teeth, as well as a bottom one, making him look adorable. The child stuck out his rosy lips, looked upwards, and tapped his face with his skinny index finger.

"Um. I like them both," the boy squeaked. "How a-bout we tickle him, 'n' then we tickle him!"

"Okay, Yugi. Whatever you say. Get ready, Nathan. We are not going to hold anything back," Allison said as she and her child ran up to the muscular man, tickling him once they reached him. Then didn't stop until the sun was setting on the grassy hills behind the beach. By the time they finished, each had a face redder than cherries. When they were done with their game, they laid on their overly large beach towel, cuddling.

"Allison?" Nathan asked his wife as his child gently snored between them.

"Yes, love?"

"How on Earth did we get such a wonderful child?"

"We didn't. Yugi came from Heaven remember?"

"To give you guys happiness forever, right?" Their child said, startling his parent.

"Yes. And no matter what happens to make us sad, you'll be there to cheer us up," Nathan whispered.

Yugi sprang up, and skipped over to the calm water. He giggled for no apparent reason. "I love you guys sooooo much," the boy said, turning to the beach towel.

Yugi's eyes widen. "Guys..." he whispered. The towel was empty. Breathing hardly, the young boy ran to the sandy towel. He shook it. "Mom-my? Dad-dy?" the young boy said. Suddenly, Yugi heard a cracking noise around him. The ground shattered, leaving a pit of darkness. Yugi fell, crying for his parents.

"Yugi, stop your whimpering," a husky voice said in front the small kid. The owner of the voice's face was hidden in the shadows of his bedroom. He reached down and touched his foster child's shoulder. Yugi flinched by the contact of his "father's" hand. The boy was shaking hardly, tears leaking out of his eyes.

"Your parents aren't comin' back, kid. You're stuck with us for the rest of your life. But don't worry. If you listen, we won't let anything harm you. We will love you always, well, maybe until you look less... cute. But don't worry, I don't think that will ever, ever happen," the man whispered the final words softly into Yugi's ear.

Yugi looked up with blurred eyes. His eyes were no longer sad, but fearful. "Please, if you love me so much, why do you hurt me? Why do you hurt me when I ask you not to..." Yugi voice cracked.
