A girl was walking home. Her tote bag slung over one shoulder while her long thick ash brown hair flowed in the wind; she hummed a tune as she walked. Just as she passed a game shop, the radio announcer came on to announce the winner of the Duel monsters tournament.

"The winner of the DC Tournament is Eric Roderick from the Roderick Family, with his trusted Feathered Dragon; He was able to maintain his statues of King of Games. Looks like the Roderick family will maintain their control over Domino city for another year…"

The girl, Kyo Anaki, rolled her eyes at the announcement. He is a false king…the real king of games was Yugi Motou. Kyo walked into a grocery store. "Hm…let's see." She looked around making sure nobody was watching. She quickly slipped some cups of Raman into her tote bag and made her way out of the store. She wasn't quick enough. "HEY! GET BACK YOU THEIF!" Kyo looked back and saw that the store owner was running after her. She started off down the street, the store owner close behind her. "GET BACK HERE YOU BITCH!"

"Ha! You'll have to run faster than that fatty!" Kyo didn't watch where she was running because she ran straight into Akihiro, the Captain for the New Domino city police. "Oh…uh…hey captain Akihiro…" He just narrowed his eyes. "Kyo…give me the bag." Kyo sighed. "It was just two cups of Raman…one for me and one for my sister." The captain frowned he took out some cash and handed it to the store manager. "I'll take care of her…sorry for the inconvenience."

"Hmph, That damn psychic girl better stay out of my store or I will make sure she doesn't get out of the damn store alive!" Kyo narrowed her eyes. "Don't ever call me a damn psychic girl as an insult. Also I'm not that bad of a duelist! I'm better than you!"

"It isn't an insult if it is the truth, it's the reason your folks abandoned you and you little bizarre sister." Kyo was ready to hit the store manager just for calling her sister bizarre, but Captain Akihiro held her back. "Come on Kyo…I'll take you back to your apartment."

"Right." Kyo and Akihiro were in the car and Kyo sighed. "So Kyo…how was class?"

"Hu…it was…okay…" Kyo looked over at the cars passing by. "You skipped today didn't you."

"Well not really…"

"Expelled isn't it?" Kyo turned red. "Yea…"

"God damn it Kyo you can't keep doing this." Kyo sighed as she looked over at Akihiro. "I can't help that I'm always getting kicked out. Those other students always pick on me for my abilities. Then they go after my sister too, If I don't fight them who will!?"

"Kyo…you push people away."

"No I don't…I keep people from hurting my sister. They hurt us just because we're psychic duelist." Kyo looked away with a pout on her lips. Akihiro shook his head. "I know it's tough for your type but you can't just fight like that. You'll have to accept that you and your sister are different. You don't have to fit in with the rest of the town."

"That is easy for you to say you are normal." Kyo snapped and played with her ashy brown curls. Akihiro frowned and focused on the road. "None of us are perfect Kyo…that was what I was trying to say."

"Don't…I don't think I could handle any more of those stuck up elitist ways." Akihiro nodded in agreement. They pulled over at an old rundown building in the heart of downtown. "Stay safe and for the love of all that is holy don't get in trouble with your landlady again."

They pulled up to the apartment building and Kyo thanked Akihiro for taking her home. She headed up the fire escape ladder and into the rundown iron balcony. Kyo smiled as she headed inside. "Mai I'm home."

"sissy sissy!" in came a young girl about nine, she had pale green eyes and thick black hair tied back in a puffy pony tail. Kyo smiled and gave her little sister a hug. "Hey there Mai…How's the leg doing?" Mai lifted her prosthetics leg and smiled. "It's doing well but I think a storm is coming." Kyo shook her head. "Oh I have dinner, sorry it's soup but it's all I can do for now."

"Sissy…do you want to duel me?" Kyo frowned. "I can't now, I have to go to the lab in a bit."

"Oh…is doctor Sammael doing okay?" Kyo smiled. "If you want to come with me to work I bet Dr. Sammael would be okay with you hanging out while we do some work." Mai shook her head. "No way all you guys do is read books and write notes."

"Ha ha ha…yea you're right…oh before I forget…I found a card that you might like."

"Really! Cool!" Kyo fished through her tote bag and pulled out a Duel monster card. "Here you go." Mai took the card and looked it over. "Runa the Moon Sorceress? She seems like someone who would fit your deck."

"Don't worry about my deck. I'll be back about nine okay? Untill then…don't talk to strangers and if Mrs. Kiki asks where I am at, tell her night school okay."

"I know Sissy. Just don't get mugged on the way there and back okay." Kyo gave her sister a peck on the cheek. "Okay. See you later okay."

Meanwhile in the afterlife, a young Pharaoh was rushing to the war chamber. He tighten the leather arm guards as he entered the chamber. There the gods and his father were sitting at the table, all dressed in ancient armor. "Pharaoh Atem it is rude to be late." Atem gave a bow. "Forgive me. I did not mean to be late." One of the gods gave him a mean look. Atem stood back up and hurried to his seat next to his father. "Atem…you were talking to Yugi weren't you?" His father quietly asked. "I was…Yugi and the rest of the gang has really helped me out these past few weeks with…you know." His father gave a reassuring smile. "I know…I am not mad about that. I just want you to be okay." Atem smiled back. The meeting started and Horus stood up. "We have a major situation in the world of the living and it concern the three Millennium spell books." Atem and his father both narrowed their eyes. "What do you mean?" Atem's father asked. Horus closed his eyes. "One of the books has been discovered. What we need is a person to be willing to return to the world of the living and take back the book, find the two other volumes and destroy them."

"Go back to the world of the living?" Atem eyes grew large. "Would we come back after the mission is over?" Horus gave Atem a surprised look. "No…it's a second chance for life for the one who takes this mission and succeeds." Atem looked down then at his father. He remember his first day in the afterlife, it seemed so long ago but it was the happiest moment for him. Atem reunited with his family and ever since then everything was good. Yet there was one problem. In the afterlife…there was no ageing, no sense of time. Everything was perfect to a fault. Atem didn't hate it but there was a part of him who wished that he was able to live a full life in the world of the living. This was a chance to go back and do things right but it would mean leaving his family for a while. Horus could see Atem's dilemma. "Atem…do you wish to take this mission?"

"I…" Atem glanced at his father. His father nodded. He got up and placed both hands on his son shoulders. "Atem you were robbed of a full life in the world of the living. This is could be the only chance you have to live the life you never had. Though you won't be Pharaoh, I want you to be happy." Atem gave a sad smile. "Father…I don't want to leave you and mom or everyone here again. But…" He then turned serious. "It was our ancestors whom received those books it should be me whom get rid of them." Atem's father nodded. Atem looked up at Horus. "Horus…I am willing to go into the world of the living and find the three Millennium spell books." Horus smiled. "I had a feeling that you will. You will need to find a young duelist to help you on your mission."

"A Duelist?"

"Yes we have been keeping an eye on her and she is definitely the one who can help you but you must teach her how to duel."

"You are asking me to find this girl and teach her how to duel? But how will that help me on finding the Spell books?" Horus smirked. "This will help you on your mission." He handed Atem a papyrus scroll. Atem looked at the scroll and noticed the picture. It was the profile of a girl with thick curly hair and light green eyes. "What is her name?"

"Her Name is Kyo Anaki." Atem smirked. "Okay then, I will find Anaki and teach her."
