Yugi returned home early to the arcade, where he had been with Honda for most of the morning.  Jonouchi had been supposed to go with them, but his sister called last night, and he begged off to spend time with her - as a good brother should!  And speaking of brothers being called away by sisters, Honda's older sister Sachiko called while they were in the middle of Game Battler.  Her husband Rumida had hurt himself pretty badly working on something, and she needed to take him to the hospital and could Hiroto come watch Johji for her while they were gone?  Yugi never saw Honda grimace the same way he did when he was asked to babysit his precocious - and obnoxious - nephew, but of course he had agreed, apologizing PROFUSELY to Yugi.  It really needn't be said that Yugi had waved it off as an important family matter and that they'd just continue the game again another time.

So here he was returning home much earlier than he had planned, only just after lunch.  He had known his mother would be spending the day spring cleaning . . . but it still startled him to find her knelt in his bedroom leaning into his closet to dig through things stashed in a back corner.

"Um, M-mom . . . what are you doing?"  He couldn't remember half the stuff that was in there anymore, but if it was in that corner, it was likely because he didn't want anyone else knowing about it either................
