Hello guys! You might not remember, but I used to write a Yu-Gi-Oh story based on Season 0 with two of my OCs. Now I'm making a comeback with new ideas that you will find out.

Links of my four OCs are on the Profile as usual. I hope you'll enjoy the story.

P.S. Almost every character will have their English names, but few will keep their Japanese names.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Yu-Gi-Oh characters! I only own my OCs!

Chapter 0: Prologue

A sixteen years old girl was packing up her luggage in her new room. She had long brown hair with natural blonde shade and had blue eyes. She had a very slender and thin body with fair skin. Her name was Aurora Ueda Pax, but she liked being called Aura for short.

She had along with her twin brother and their mother moved back to the mother's home country Japan and moved in to their grandmother's house that had a karate dojo. The city they lived in was called Domino City. The reason why they had moved from Canada from Japan was to make a new start, especially now when they were rising stars in the music world. They called themselves the Pax Twins. The twins' last surname was inherited from their father Orion Pax who had an Egyptian origin. He used to be an archeologist but suddenly disappeared two years ago during an excavation. The only clue that had been left behind was a parcel Orion had sent a couple of days before the disappearance.

When the twins got the parcel, they were first confused when they saw what had been inside it; a pair of small golden earrings in the shape of the ancient Eye of Horus. Orion had also sent along a letter that said the twins should wear them and the Millennium Earrings had something to do with the mystical Shadow Realm.

Of course, the twins got curious and put on the earrings, Aurora's in the left ear and her twin's in his right ear, to get a huge surprise. Two ancient spirits of the old Egypt had been resting for more than five thousand years until they got awakened by the Millennium Earrings' new bearers.

The spirits had no memories, but during the two years being with Aurora and her twin brother Joakim, the spirits remembered their names were Amaura and Mako and other few things like being twins too, but nothing major. The twins never told their mother, grandmother or cousin about the spirits. They thought it would be best if few people knew the secret.

Aurora sighed in relief as she sat down on her bed, relaxing her tense shoulders and aching back. "Finally it's done…"

Amaura's spirit showed up next to Aurora. She had the same appearance as her host, but the only thing that was different was their eyes. While Aurora had round blue eyes, Amaura had sharp heterochromia eyes; her right eye being sky-blue while the left eye was emerald green.

"I can imagine the hard labor with such moving", Amaura chuckled.

"You don't want to know…", Aurora sighed before giggling.

A knock was heard from the door. "Sis?" The door opened and revealed Joakim. He had shoulder-length brown hair with natural blonde shade, round blue eyes and tanned skin with slight muscles, inherited by the father. Joakim kept his hair in a manly ponytail, saying it would bring him more attention from the girls since right now men with long hair in ponytails were popular.

Next to him stood his Millennium Earring spirit Mako. He had the same appearance as Joakim, except he had sharp heterochromia eyes like Amaura, but the eye colors were switched; left being blue and right being green.

"You're done packing up, Kim?" Aurora asked, standing up from the bed.

"Yep, and I see you are done too", Joakim nodded. "Mom and Granny are making some snacks in the kitchen. They asked me to call you so we can relax for the rest of the day."

"Sounds nice", Aurora smiled. "I'm coming soon."

Joakim nodded and glanced at his sister's Millennium Earring. He gave Amaura a smirk before heading outside of the room.

"See you downstairs, Amaura", Mako said before disappearing.

"You and your brother are inseparable", Amaura told her host.

Aurora stood in front of a big mirror as she tied up her hair with a blue ribbon. "We have a strong bond. We always had it since we were toddlers."

"I know, from what you've told me. I feel like I share the same connection with Mako too."

Once Aurora had tied up her hair, she walked out of her room and down the stairs to get to the living room. Joakim, their mother Akane, grandmother Karin and cousin Yamato were sitting on either the couch or armchair drinking some tea while eating cookies.

Aurora sat down next to Joakim who gave her a cup of tea. "Thank you." She sipped on the warm liquid. "Ahh… So good…"

Joakim chuckled, "You make it sound so sexy."

"Kim…", Yamato said with a warning voice.

Yamato was a young man in 24 years. He had short black hair and brown eyes. He was quite tall, tanned and slight muscular due to the training in the karate dojo with grandmother.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, Yama", Joakim retorted.

"It's a good thing it's weekend tomorrow", Karin spoke up. "You two need some time to get yourself used to our new home before starting high school."

"Yep", the twins replied simultaneously.

"I know you two had been homeschooled due to your successful career, but you will need to find some friends and I am sure you will find them in the high school", Karin said.

"I hope we'll find loyal friends", Aurora said. "We don't need lots of friends; we need few but close friends."

"Took the words right out of my mouth, sis", Joakim nodded.

Yamato reached for the control of the television. "You mind if I turn on the TV?"

"No", was the response.

Yamato turned on the TV to reveal an ongoing Duel taking place in America.

"Would you look at that? A Duel Monsters tournament", Joakim grinned.

"I wonder if they will hold competitions in Japan too", Aurora wondered.

"I'm sure they will soon", Akane replied. "You two were two of the best Duelists in Canada, so the popularity of Duel Monsters might soon reach Japan."

"Sweet! I can't wait to test out my new Deck against other people", Joakim said cheerfully.

"Me too", Aurora nodded. "It gets boring sooner or later if you just keep playing against the same opponent all the time."

Yamato chuckled at the twins, "You two are such nerds."

"Hey!" the twins shouted angrily.

XXXXXXXXXX

At the evening, after dinner and preparing for bed, the twins were in Aurora's room, talking about the Duel Monsters tournament they had seen on TV.

"From the info I could gather today, it seems Duel Monsters is currently not so popular in Japan", Joakim told his twin.

"But I'm sure it might become popular if they make tournaments for players so they can come together in all ages", Aurora nodded.

"It also depends on when they will make a tournament", Amaura spoke up.

"And if they ever hold one", Mako nodded.

"Welp, we just have to wait and see", Joakim said. "We still have to get our school uniform tomorrow so we can be ready for school on Monday."

Aurora nodded and looked down on her lap, feeling a bit nervous for attending a new school. She hoped nothing would go wrong as it did last time…

"Aura!" Joakim called, bringing his sister out from her trance.

"Y-Yeah?"

Joakim frowned, knowing what Aurora thought about just now. "Don't think about that, sis. Nothing will happen. I promise I will protect you."

Aurora smiled at her twin, "Thank you, Kim."

The spirits of Amaura and Mako smiled in the background, happy to see their hosts had a deep connection to each other just like themselves.

XXXXXXXXXX

On Monday, the twins were standing by the open gates of Domino High School. Both of them were wearing the school uniforms that ruffled in the warm spring wind that carried along cherry blossom petals from nearby trees. Other students were walking to the school building, ready to go through a new year of torture with learning.

Aurora was wearing a white shirt with pink blazer, blue tie-ribbon and short blue skirt, white stretch tights and brown loafers. She had her hair tied up into a side-ponytail to the right. She held her school bag by the handle of the bag.

Joakim was wearing the boy school uniform with consisted of a white shirt, deep blue jacket and pants and training shoes. He had his hands in the pockets of the pants and let the straps of his school bag rest on his right shoulder.

"So this is Domino High School…", Aurora mumbled.

"The very same school where Mom went to", Joakim added.

Aurora held back a grimace of nervousness, but Joakim was able to see through his twin's mask. "Nervous, sis?"

"Yeah…", Aurora confessed.

Joakim chuckled before grabbing one of Aurora's hands, squeezing it gently. "Relax, sis. We're ending up in the same class, so we'll have each other close."

The spirits of Amaura and Mako showed up next to the twins. "And we'll be here too", Amaura said.

"So you are never alone", Mako added.

Aurora's nervous lips turned into a soft smile to the spirits as she squeezed her brother's hand. "You're right. Let's go."

With a nod from Joakim, the duo started walking to the doors of the high school building without knowing it would be their first step into an ancient Egyptian adventure.
