"I am not a rat." he pouted. "besides you where the some who kept ending up at places I was at!" Like the garden, or the hallway- even his own room. Surely the boy was the one who was being bothered! If anything.

"And the no one even believed I saw you!" still he had no idea who he was, or that it was the thief's fault that everything was a bit chaotic that night. "The guards said I was lying and I got in trouble!" Although nothing serious was down about it.

Of course they would, it was easier to blame a child than it was to make up for ones own folly. "Apologize!"

{ لص }—  He cocked his head to the side, taking a closer                look at the boy. Right, he remembered that                 night quite clearly. With the sharpened blade in                his grip he gave an amused smirk. 

                   "Ah right, you were the little desert rat that                        couldn’t help but bother me that night.” 

[childwithapuzzle]

The child blinked- he stared at the guy taking in his feature before pointing an accusatory figure at him.

"You!" He want anything but quite. "You're that guy who was palace a while ago!"

Although he still had no clue who the guy was, or that it was it him the guards had ended up looking for after he told his grandfather about seeing him.

{ لص }—”Get lost before I test my blade on you.”       The sound of metal slicing over rock emanated from       his hands as he was sharpening one   of   his blades      in    the   corner of      an      old      shady        tavern.

Yuugi stared at, it was kind of pretty. Of course as a child he did not know what they where made off. "..it's kinda cool looking...where'd you get it?"

florence-midknight entered the game shop.

[childwithapuzzle]

"I chose Fennekin! he was really cute, and he was fire type. I really like fire types one. Did you chose a starter?"

"Hm, what starter did you choose, then?" Ryou tilted her head a little bit. What a precious little kid. She smiled broadly at him.

[childwithapuzzle]

"Oh...well I've other people with your face then!" That was still odd, he was getting a bit more use to that. Though he had trouble understanding it.

atem-tsekani entered the game shop

Atem looks back to the child and shakes his head. "Not to this particular one unfortunately", he replies with a polite look.

[childwithapuzzle]

"I want get too much one me." He sad before taking a bite out the ice cream. He really liked ice cream- and just biting into it was the best way to get a lot of it in your mouth...and on your face.

He thank her for the change and grab it for him, “Come on then little me lets go sit somewhere to enjoy this delicious ice cream.” as he made a note and pick up several napkins to clean him later with. Sitting down he offer the sit in front of him. “Eat up, we don’t need you splitting your ice cream all over your body.” he chuckled.

[childwithapuzzle]

"Yep! I play here all the time! It's my grandfather's game shop!" He smiled at him still. "You could play here too!....I mean if you'd want too!"

When he jumped off Yuugi ran over to see if he could get a glimpse of him, but he was too lose. So instead he he ran out of his room to go tell his grandfather about what happened again.

childwithapuzzle followed a thief...

As he had reached the balcony by the end of the brats rant, he crouched on the edge of it, one hand resting on the stone while the other was holding the sack of stolen goods tightly in his hand. He turned his head back to smirk at the young one. “I shall return when you’re older and a little more… Educated.” With that the thief jumped down the balcony, into the night. He was swift and as soon as his frame was devoured by darkness he was nowhere to be seen again… 

[childwithapuzzle]

"My grandpa told me that stuff, and he wouldn't lie to me." He glared at him, he had raised his voice again, almost shouting this time. Although Yuugi still did not know who this person why, and he was far to naive to to think this was the person everyone was looking for. "And you shouldn't take things that don't belong to you. that isn't nice"

He made no move to stop him from leaving though. What could a child do against an adult? Nothing, really.

He would have laughed if the current situation would have allowed it. Instead he closed his eyes with an utter most amused smirk. “You simply believe the lies these fools feed you. A born king is no king. It takes bloodshed and power.” But of course this brat would not understand and Bakurah did not come here to educate a palace child. Instead, he made his way around the bed once the sounds of the guards footsteps had faded, walking straight towards the balcony..

"If you will excuse me now, there is more to rob and the sun won’t be sleeping forever." 

[childwithapuzzle]

"...No that isn't what makes people kings...it has more to do with heritage or something....like how the previous pharaoh was the current ones dad so that why the current pharaoh is pharaoh is pharaoh." Although he didn't really understand what that meant it was just something his grandfather told him, confusing really. But if his grandfather said it must be true, he was a smart person. "So your wrong about the king thing, anyways some kings have no gold at all because there are places where they can't get gold."

This person didn't seem very smart to Yuugi, he learned this stuff just hearing people talk about it.

He tilted his head, avoiding to be hit by the pillow through this mild motion. He smirk didn’t face, only became more visible in the darkness. “Many subjects don’t make a King, it’s his ability to be superior. I am the best at what I do, therefor I am King.” He pulled some gold out of his bag, putting the jewlery on, one by one. Golden chains dangling from his neck and headpiece  while rings were wrapped around his fingers.

"Or is it the gold? In that case, I am truly a king for I can have all the gold I want." 

[childwithapuzzle]

Yuugi threw the pillow at him, aiming for his head. He brute deserved it. Yuugi obviously had done nothing wrong. He was a perfectly innocently child. "Nope never hear of him. That's a dumb name ways."

Well the title didn't make much sense, how could anyone be a king of thieves? They where all just such an unruly bunch of bullies.

childwithapuzzle followed a thief...

As soon as the kid began to shout, the thief grabbed a pillow and dropped it on his head, to press it onto the brats face with his foot while he moved a bit closer to  the wall, where the shadows would hide him. He watched a few guards run past, then as it grew more quiet he knew that he was out of danger. For now.

Bakurah removed his foot and leaned back against the wall, arms folded. “The next time you’re being so loud, I shall cut off your tongue.” Came the harsh reply. ” Why? Don’t tell me you have never heard about the great King of Thieves. Lies and tricks are a thief’s tools.” He cocked his head to the side, smirking smugly. 

[childwithapuzzle]

"Okay! I think I might have some left over in my lunch box!" He side his backpack off and and searched in it for his lunch box, it was an old fashion tin lunch box that had a few faded picture of Duel Monster's on it, the only one still visible was Gandora. He opened it up and only to look confused. He knew he had some left other, because he was being sneaky that morning and took extra...maybe that's what happened when his lunch box went missing.

"Uhh...would you like to come over to my house and some?" He said looking up at him, he felt kind of guilty about it.

He did his best to clear his thoughts and turn to give the child version of himself a little bit more brighter smile, “A cookie eh..?” he repeated thinking over his words carefully. While he could leave the game shop it was dangerous to leave it for a long period of time, it seem lonely and almost sad when he did. “I…I guess its alright to have one. Thank you..” he told him quietly.

[childwithapuzzle]

Yuugi reached over and wiped the tear away. "I'm sorry..." he felt it was because of his question, so he had to apologize to him. It was the right thing to do. He wanted to do something to cheer him up. "...Would you wanna come over for my cookies? they always cheer me up when I'm sad, you can't be sad while eating a cookie."

He shook his head trying to clear all of those thoughts from his memories. A single tear escape him as he felt the liquid slowly running down his cheek. “I…” no, he wasn’t OK but he didn’t need his young reflection to know of that. “I will be fine little me.. I am..trying hard to remember and unpleasant memory took over. Do not mind me.” he said softly.

[childwithapuzzle]

Yuugi stared at him. Something seemed wrong, he couldn't tell what it was, he was only a child such thing where beyond him. He frowned a bit. "Are you okay?"

Eight… the same age he got- he did not need to finish that thought. When asked about his own age however..  ”I am…” he did not know how to answer.

How old was he now? He had graduated college a while ago and since then his whole devotion was going out with Jou then the game shop until that fateful night…

He could still hear the screams in his head as he tried to block it out. 

"YUUGI!" loud inhuman crack snapped.

"I do not.. know." he told him.

[childwithapuzzle]

"I'm eight!" he said holding up hi fingers...although he was only holding up seven fingers. Although he noticed his and quickly added another finger. "Yea see eight!"

Meaning he was the age that most Yuugi got the Millennium puzzle, well the pieces of it anyways. It would be a long time before he never finished it. "how old are you?"

Yuugi did not mean to sound offensive when he said, he just wanted to make sure the young reflection he stare at was very much himself. It was both fascinating and a little scary to see him.

"Ho…w old are you? If you don’t mind me asking..?" He was already mad might as well go along with it.

[childwithapuzzle]

"Of course I'm real!" His cheeked puffed a little into a pout. He was confused enough on his who counterpart business. He could barely tell any of the part from each other. He did not need additional confused by not knowing if was real or not, that would just be weird. "Well...I don't know about the other stuff...but I'm 100% real!"

What a sweet voice he used to carry and to believe that was him one point. “Hello….” he reply his own voice gone soft and almost-like a whisper. He didn’t mean to startled his younger self reflection he was just having a hard time imaging himself this way.. 

"You are… me." he said noticing. "Or.. correct, were me at one point." he grew quiet looking at him. Would he mimic him if he did something.

"….are you.. real?"

[childwithapuzzle]

Yuugi over at him, he was confused by the older look-a-like's expression. he never really saw someone use an expression like that before. he couldn't put a word to it."Hello?"

He greeted talking to him first, the other was just staring at him after all. it was kind of creepy, in all honesty, So it looked like it was up to Yuugi to try and break the ice. So to speak.

childwithapuzzle started following you

Such tiny reflection… so innocent and pure. Such happy days were filled in his own eyes as he reflected back at all the good things of his childhood. What wonderful days…

He kneel down and look afraid to reach out. Illusion of his childhood? But why…? Tilting his head to the side he watch him carefully. It made him.. almost smiled to see himself so oblivious to everything…
