The Millennium Puzzle

Me: Ok like I said before I am basing this story on the YuGiOh manga or Graphic novels for some people

Hikari: But we are also adding and changing a few things in the books which you'll all see in this and future chapters to come

Me: Anyways I don't own YuGiOh and never will the only thing I own are my books on YuGiOh that I buy out of my own money at Barnes and Nobles, also this story is rated R for Romance and Tea/Anzu hate.

=========================================

Duel 1: The puzzle of the gods

"Alright it's lunch time, how about we play some basketball" shouts a student. "Hey! we should let the girls play too" shouts another student. "Yo Yugi, why don't you quit playing those dumb games by yourself and come play some basketball for once in your life" replies a student to another student with red and black hair which stood up in angles and blonde bangs which framed his face.

"Na, that's alriight....My team would just lose...." replies the student known as Yugi Mutou who was in 10th grade. "Suit yourself" replies the other before he left the classroom leaving just the teen to himself.

"I wish their was someone out there that I could share my type of games with? I always carry tons in my bag but....." replies Yugi, but stops when a person walks into the room. As the person walks in Yugi notices he had the same kind of hair as Yugi except the 3 extra streaks of blonde hair that went up into the crown of red and black hair, but what Yugi noticed was his eyes, for they were the color crimson.

"Hi" replies the person. "H-Hello" replies Yugi. "So how come your here all by yourself?" asks the person, as he walks over to Yugi and sits down next to him.

"Because I don't have any friends, by the way my names Yugi what's yours?" asks Yugi. "Yami, nice to meet you, I'm pretty new here so I don't know anyone hear except for you but I'll be glade to be your friend" replies Yami with a smile. "So do you like puzzles" asks Yugi.

"Yes, but unfourntantly I have to locate the teacher so see ya Yugi, next time well play" replies Yami as he gets up and walks out of the room. 'He seems nice enough' thought Yugi. "I know what I can do right now, I can try to finish my puzzle today, I always bring it with me" says Yugi, as he looks into his bookbag and pulls out a small golden box.

"My most greatest treasure lies within this tiny box, but it must remain a secret" exclaims Yugi, as he gets ready to open it. "The riddle is some what of a hint, It's something you've seen before but never seen it before so what do you think it could be? your answer is..." replies Yugi, who gets ready to open the box only to have it snatched from his hands.

"Hey wuz up" replies a voice. "Hey" exclaims Yugi. "Heh, heh... why are you talking to yourself Yugi? you could probably win 1st prize for creepyness, your most greatest treasure?" replies the voice who had taken the box from him.

"It's something you've seen before but never seen it before" replies another voice. "Give it back Tristan!" exclaims Yugi. "Look", "Come on give it back to me" replies Yugi.

"Joey, catch" replies Tristan, as he throw's the box over to Joey. "No! please becareful" replies Yugi. "Oh come off it, only a little kid would care for a box"," And me watching you makes me ill, It makes me mad, so y'know....I'm gonna teach you to be a man" replies Joey.

"So if you want this stupid box back, you'll have to gimme everything you got" replies Joey. "No! I hate fighting" shouts Yugi, "Oww! shut up, you seriously have no guts you know that" asks Joey. "Well anyway, may I please have my item back" asks Yugi politly.

"Na on" replies Tristan. "So what's in here anyways? let's have a little peek shall we" replies Joey. "Please, you can look but don't lose anything, that puzzle is really important to me" replies Yugi, as Joey takea a quick peek inside. "How stupid, here Tristan catch" replies Joey as he throws it to Tristan only to have it grabed in mid-catch.

"Ah" replies Tristan, as a hand grabs the puzzle. "Well if you think it's so stupid give it back to Yugi then" replies a girl. "TEA" shouts Yugi. "Ah, Tea" shouts both Tristan and Joey.

"Hm, people who pick on other people now that's stupid! so beat it" shouts Tea. "Stupid medling girl!" "We'll get you back and don't you forget" shout both before they dash from the room.

"Here you go Yugi, It's pretty special isn't" asks Tea. "Yes it is Thankyou Tea" replies Yugi as Tea hands Yugi back his tiny golden box. "Wow Tea,one word from you and they high tailed it out" replies Yugi, as he looked at the last place Joey and Tristan were.

"Their heads blow up if you don't knock them down to earth you have to be tough Yugi" exclaims Tea. But just then Yami walks back into the room with the teacher. "Mutou I want you to show Yami around the school" replies the teacher before he leaves once again.

"So what happened hear that two people went running from this room?" questioned Yami, as he walked back over to Yugi and sits down. "Oh just the usual Joey and Tristan bothering Yugi again" replies Tea. "Is everyone like that?" asks Yami.

"Most of them, like the guys here, like on the basketbal court though they were passing to the girls a lot only to find them peeking when girls made jump shots, what jerks, so I quit and came in to spend time with Yugi" replies Tea.

Once Tea said that Yugi and Yami looked at each other but didn't comment on anything. "By the way Yugi...what is that....?" asks Tea pointing towards Yugi's box.

"Oh that's right, you haven't seen this yet, If you guys promise to keep it a secret I'll show you guys" replies Yugi. "Okay" reply both Yami and Tea. And so Yugi lift's the lid off and shows Yami and Tea the puzzle.

(YAMI'S POV)

Hm, I wonder if Yugi is my partner? my aibou, the person I belong with to guide and help when the time is needed. But I'll find out when the Millennium puzzle is completed. So until then I shall remain close to him and make sure nothing happens to him for even if he isn't my aibou my hikari he's still kinda cute.

Just then Yami is snapped back from his thoughts by Tea. "Wow, it's so pretty, magical even! It almost sparkles, their like pieces of something because there all broken up" replies Tea. "Well it's a puzzle, I've actually never seen it, so I don't know what it actually looks like....so it's "something you've seen before but never seen it before" replies Yugi.

"Well you see my grandpa runs a game shop, and we sell all kinds of unusual games from around the world, and years ago when I was eight I found this on one of the back selves covered in dust, so I took it for myself, so when I finish it, it shall be a memento to my grandpa so I cherish it especially well..." answers Yugi.

"I see that is special Yugi" replies Yami. "You think so Yami?" asks Yugi. "Yes, I do" replies Yami. 'A memento...' thought Tea, "You mean your grandpa died? I see...that is really special isn't it" replies Tea. "They say that the puzzle was found in a Pharaoh's tomb in Egypt" speaks Yugi. "Egypt,neat" answers Tea.

"Yeah, and see these hieroglyphs carved into the box, I bet they say something like," who ever solves this puzzle will be granted a wish..." you know what I mean but I'm just dreaming" replies Yugi. "Well actually you aren't to far off on what it says" answers Yami. "You mean you know what it says" asks Yugi. "In a matter of fact yes, I was born in Egypt" replies Yami. "Cool so what does it mean" asks Tea.

"Well it says the one who solves me shall be granted the power's of darkness but I could be wrong" replies Yami. "Cool" replies Yugi. "But still this puzzle is hard....I've been at this thing for eight whole years and never got close to solving it, It's sorta depressing actually" says Yugi with a glum expression.

"Don't give up Yugi, your heart is in it I'm sure you'll finish it" replies Tea. "Yea, I'll do my best" answers Yugi with a smile. "....So what is it? Your wish I mean?" asks Yami. "No way...that's a secret" answers Yugi.

"Damn, she makes me so angry" replies Joey,as he and Tristan walk down the hallway. "The nerve of her calling us bullies" replies Joey. "Um, Joey that would be us dork" replies Tristan. But just then they walk into someone big and tall.

"Ow.....","Damn" reply both of them. When they look up Tristan reconginized the person. "Er....ah..." stummbled Tristan. "So what were you saying about bullies?" asks Ushio. "Nothing! so stay out of it you..." replies Joey, before Tristan covers his mouth with his hand. "Ah, nothing...nope nothing at all...." replies Tristan, as he still covers Joey's mouth.

"MMMM" mummbles Joey. "Well, picking on people are bad" replies Ushio, as he turns and walks away. "Yeah, true, absolutly true" replies Tristan to Ushio's retreating back. Once Ushio turned and left Tristan let Joey go. "You jerk, I couldn't breath" shouts Joey. "Joey that's Ushio the hall monitor, he makes all the rules, that was close..." breaths Tristan to Joey.

"Err, Ushio! I'm gonna get you someday" yells Joey. "God life is boring" complains Tristan. "Don't worry, I got something good" replies Joey. "Yeah, what?" asks Tristan. Just then Joey shows Tristan. "Hey what's that?" asks Tristan. "Just a little something that I took from Yugi's treasure box! I only took a glimpse but it looked like some kind of puzzle, so if he doesn't have this piece then he can't complete it" says Joey.

"Neat, good work Joey" replies Tristan. "Now all I gotta do is take this and... Do this with it" exclaims Joey, as he throws the piece of the puzzle out the window and into the pool just outside the window. "Ha ha that was good" laughs Tristan. "Hmph, treasure... he acts like a girl" replies Joey. "Yea let's go" says Tristan as they walk back down the hall.

(Ding, Dong, Ding) "Bye! see you tomorrow" yells a student. "Alright let's get home and finish my puzzle" says Yugi as he walks out the front gate. "Yo your Yugi...aren't you?" replies Ushio who leans up against a wall. "...Yes?" answers Yugi.

"I'm Ushio, I'm the hall monitor....I want to ask you a few things" replies Ushio. "Um..." is Yugi's reply. "Question are you being bullied by certain people?" asks Ushio. "Hun? no nothing like that has ever happened to me" replies Yugi. "Hold on! victims always defend their attackers! and so I've been investigating! so.....heh,heh, you can stop worrying, I'll be your body guard for now on" exclaims Ushio.

"Yugi" shouts Yami,as he runs towards Yugi. "Hun,oh Yami" shouts Yugi, as he waves over at Yami. Once Yami was over by Yugi they turned and walked side to side. 'Hm, looks like I've found a good sucker' thought Ushio, as he watches Yugi walk with Yami. "So what was that about?" asks Yami. "Nothing just some weirdo" replies Yugi.

And so Yami and Yugi walk to the gameshop. "Well I'm....", "YUGI!" calls Tea. "Home...Hn?" replies Yugi, as he and Yami turn to see Tea. "Wha...Tea, hey" exclaims Yugi. "Hey....I thought I would come over and hang out with you and Yami" replies Tea. "Neat, we could all hang out" replies Yugi. And so the three of them walk into the shop.

"Come in" replies Solomon Mutou, as his grandson walks in with Tea and Yami. "Yeeeek!" shouts Tea. "Here, come now Tea" replies Solomon. "Yes, it's rude to scream at people" replies Yami. "Ah and who might you be?" asks Solomon once he notices Yami.

"I'm Yami Motou, nice to meet you sir" greets Yami. "Hey Yugi, what's going on, you said the puzzle was a memento to your grandpa? H-Hello" replies Tea quickly to Yugi and then Solomon. "Oh I mean it will when I finish it" replies Yugi. "What! I'm not dead yet" shouts Solomon. And so as that little bit when on Yami just stayed out of the way.

"But really Tea, you've grown a lot since I last saw you especially your bust it looks like they hit the 32" mark" comments Solomon. "Ha,ha..." replies Tea. "Tea, Yami lets work on some puzzles up in my room" replies Yugi. "Okay..." reply both before they get ready to head upstairs.

"What's this Yugi? you haven't given up on that puzzle yet?" asks Solomon, to his grandson. "Who want to" asks Yugi, before leading Tea and Yami upstairs. Later that evening Tea and Yami had both gone home and Yugi was upstairs sitting in his room working on the puzzle.

"Umm....I always get stuck here..." whispers Yugi, before he finally couldn't stay awake anymore and fell asleep.

The next day

"Hey! pass the ball this way" shouts a student. "YAAWN! man I'm tired, I stayed up the whole nigh working on the Millennium puzzle" replies Yugi. "Yugi..." replies Ushio. "Hn..." wonders Yugi. "Could I speak to you for a moment...." asks Ushio. "Ah...." replies Yugi, not sue if he should or not.

"Ushio....what is it that you wish to show me?" asks Yugi. "Heh,heh...just come for I know you'll like it...." replies Ushio. Once they arrive Ushio shows Yugi a bruised and batter Joey and Tristan. "Ah...ah..." moans Joey. "It hurts..." whispers Tristan.

"JOEY! TRISTAN!....What happened" shouts Yugi. "I told you, I'm your bodyguard, so I decided to teach them a lesson that would never forget" replies Ushio. "T-This...is to much" replies Yugi before turning to his friends. "Joey, Tristan are you guys ok?" asks a worry Yugi.

"Yugi, you jerk...I hope your...happy" stammers Joey. "Joey it's not true...I never asked him to do this" exclaims Yugi, just then Ushio pushes Yugi away and goes back to beating up Joey and Tristan. "Stop" shouts Yugi who jumps in between Ushio and that.

"What's this? why are you protecting them? This is your chance to get even" replies Ushio to Yugi who hadn't notice Yami yet. "No, I won't do that to my friends" yells Yugi, who ended up shocking Joey and Ushio. "Ha,ha,ha,ha....Friends what a joke, you call them friends when they picked on you everyday" answers Ushio.

"They weren't picking on me....they were teaching me to be strong" whispers Yugi. "What ever....anyways you stll have to pay me and since I was your bodyguard I'll charge 200,000 yen" remarks Ushio. "What! 200,000 yen" shouts Yugi. "What is it not good enough, do I have to hurt them more" asks Ushio.

"Thats enough" shouts Yami, as he suddenly walks over from hiding. "Yami" exclaims Yugi. "Yes....now I suggest you leave them alone" growls Yami. "Fine....but remember Yugi 200,000 yen" and with that Ushio left. Later that night Yugi sat at his desk counting his money.

"1,656 yen...Oh what am I gonna do" mummbles Yugi, as he fiddles with the Millennium puzzle. "Ah!...what am I doing? I don't have time to do this" exclaims Yugi,as he puts it down. "But that's all I can think of...working on the puzzle..." replies Yugi,as he works on the puzzle and putting it together.

Once Yugi got closer to finishing it and he was down to his last piece, Yugi reached for the piece only to find it gone. "What! it's gone" exclaims Yugi, as he searches for it. Upond looking Yugi couldn't find it until Yugi's grandpa walked in and carefully layed the lost piece on his desk gently as his grandson cried.

But as soon as Yugi heard something touch his desk, he quickly looks up only to see the lost piece lieing infront of him. "The last piece of the puzzle" breaths Yugi, as he slides in the last piece only to watch in aw as the puzzle grew bright emitting a bright light.

As the light grew brighter Yugi had to sheild his eyes until the light died down to reveal Yami. "Yami?" asks a confused Yugi. "Yes, aibou" asks Yami. "What are you doing in hear" asked Yugi. "I'm your Yami, your protector and you are my hikari and I've been waiting for you for a very long time" answers Yami.

Once that was done Yami told Yugi that he would help him put a stop to Ushio, and so Ushio's shadow game began that night. The next day Yugi and Yami were walking to school as if nothing happened until they bumped into Joey. "Hey Yug" replies Joey,as he spots Yugi and Yami.

"Hey" greet both. "Look I'm sorry about earlier" answers Joey. "It's ok" replies Yugi. "Oh Joey this is Yami, Yami this is Joey" replies Yugi, as he introduces them. "Hey" reply both. And so for the rest of the day the three of them became very good friends.
