Another Day

Monday had come again. The sun was shining brightly through the half-closed curtains of Yugi Moto's room.

His bed lay in just the right angle, causing the sun to always wake him. The bright light shone proudly upon his tender face.

His eyes twitched, he inhaled deeply, moaned, turned around, and fell asleep again.

Next to Yugi's bed lay a small table, on which lay an alarm clock, a glass of water and a small, golden-coloured triangle, the Millenium Puzzle.

Deep in this ancient artifact lived an ancient spirit.

Yugi and this spirit were vast friends, they were always there for eachother, to comfort, to help, to prevail.

Yugi's eyes twitched again, slowly he opened them, moaning slightly. He was awake.

He looked around, taking everything in, confirming he was alive.

He blinked for some time, then stretched his arms and legs, waking him up completely. He sat up straight and drank some of the water next to him, then he picked up the puzzle and hung it around his neck.

"Good morning Spirit!" Yugi said gleefully.

Suddenly, the spirit emerged from the puzzle and stood beside him.

He was handsome, like Yugi, but taller, and his voice was deeper, his hair more complex than Yugi's.

"Good morning, Yugi." The spirit replied.

Yugi got out of bed and walked towards the window. He opened the curtains, allowing the sun to shine upon his innocent face with all its might.

He stretched again, and walked towards the door, before opening it, he glanced at his deck, which lay on his desk.

He then opened the door, went down the stairs, and into the bathroom, he locked it, undressed, and got into the shower, the puzzle standing neatly on top of a pile of unused towels.

As Yugi felt the drops of warm water touch his face, he felt a strange happiness in his heart. It was going to be another fun day today.

He turned off the tap, grabbed a towel and put on his uniform.

He equipped the Millenium Item again, and walked down the stairs, into the kitchen, where his grandfather Solomon Moto, was making breakfast.

"Good morning, Yugi!" said Solomon cheerily.

"Hi Grandpa!" replied Yugi, "What's for breakfast?"

"A special treat, seeing as it's Monday, I've got….cereal!" laughed Solomon.

Yugi laughed, as he poured himself some tea.

The Spirit, however, wasn't as happy and gleeful as Yugi and his grandfather, he felt a disturbance, and he knew, deep within, that this wasn't going to be just another day.

"Something's coming." He whispered to himself.
