Chapter1: Memories from the Setting Sun

            Yugi sat on the park bench glazing off at the setting sun.  He watched as the bright orb melted into the landscape and caused an arrangement of red, orange, and yellow colors to dance across his face.  A small breeze caused his yellow locks to beat gently against his face and it was slowly starting to get dark.

            Yugi finally broke his gaze from the sun and looked down at the crumpled up map he had gripped tightly in his hand.  He slowly began to open it.  Once the map was unfolded it revealed a map of Egypt.  Some of the cities names had been rubbed off and it was a bit yellow from age, but besides that, the map was in fairly good condition.  Yugi just continued to stare at the map, but not just the map itself, but at a large red dot that was on the map next to the Nile River.  By the dot was some writing.  The words were sloppy, but it was still legible.  It read "Mom and Dad".  Just then a small tear came rolling down Yugi's face and landed on the red dot.

Yugi looked back towards the sun and was thankful that he had left the Millennium Puzzle at home.  It's not he didn't want Yami around it was just that Yami and grandpa was talking about duel monsters and at the way the conversation was going, they were going to be there awhile.  He didn't see the use of bothering Yami just to go somewhere, so he had just left the puzzle on his dresser and slipped out the window with his map in hand.

            Yugi's glaze at the sun never faltered, until he closed his eyes and said.

"It was 8 years ago today"

**~~Flashback~~**

            The bell to the Game Shop dinged as the 7-year-old Yugi Motou zipped into the Game Shop closely followed by his mother and father.

Yugi's father was an average sized man.  He wasn't short, but he wasn't tall.  He had short, spiky hair that showed off he's rough appearance.  From appearance he looked just like another ordinary person.  His must striking feature was his big purple eyes.

However Yugi's mother was another story.  She was just a bit smaller then Yugi's father.  She had long yellow locks of hair that flowed down hair back and eye that were crystal blue.

"Grandpa…Grandpa"

Solomon had only picked his head out of the card cabinet for two seconds before get tackled by Yugi.  Before he knew it he was on his back on the cold, hard floor with Yugi peering down at him from his position on his stomach.

"Did you miss me, grandpa?"

Solomon couldn't help but to laugh as he peered of at the small, hyper child, that was his grandson.

"Haha…Yes of course I missed you Yugi…How long has it been…two days?"

"Two days?, Yugi said surprisingly, It feels like two months."

"For a kid with a short attention spanned, Yugi's mother said as she picked up the light weighted Yugi off Solomon, two days are like two weeks."

Yugi giggled as his dad snatched him out of his mother's arms and throw him over his shoulder.

"Hey, put me down…I want to see grandpa."

"Wait your turn sport, Yugi's dad said, lets let your mom a have a few words first."

"But while we're waiting, let's go up to the guest room and get you settled in…come on I'll race you there.

            Yugi's eyes sparked at the sound of a challenge, and before another second could pass, Yugi took off like a flash.

"Hey!", Yugi's father yelled, your cheating", and with that they both disappeared up the stairway leaving Solomon and his daughter behind.

            Yugi's mother was still staring at the empty stairway smiling, but her smile slowly changed into a frown.  Solomon had noticed it immediately.

"Something wrong?", Solomon asked his now frowning daughter.

            His words seemed to have snapped her back to life.  She glanced back at her dad and flashed a fake smile.

"No…there's nothing wrong dad." Katharine said.

(A/N: sorry I don't know Yugi's parents real names.  So I'm calling Yugi's mother Katharine and Yugi's dad Peter…I know bad name ~_~)

"Thanks dad…for keeping Yugi on such short notice…we shouldn't be gone to long."  "The artifact dig in Egypt shouldn't take that long."

            Solomon set his glaze on his daughter.  He couldn't understand the saddest in her voice.  If they were only going to be gone for a little while, then why did she have such saddest in her voice when she talked about leaving Yugi?

            Solomon made a short laughing sound and placed he's hand on Katharine's shoulder.

"You always were one to worry", Solomon stated, but his words seemed to not comfort her.

"Don't worry…he'll be fine", Solomon said noticing no change.

            She turned her emotion filled face to the empty stairway once more.

"I know dad, that is why I'm trusting you with him"; Katharine said threw an unemotional frown.

"Katharine, Are you sure there's nothing you want to tell me?"

            She turned to face her father again only to find the worried face that she had been wearing looking back at her.  It caught her a bit off guard.

"Well, Katharine finally said, Dad…I

            But before she could get another word out Peter had suddenly appeared behind Katharine and taken over the conversation.

"Well, Yugi's all settled in, and is upstairs playing with his cards."

"So, Peter began again, are you ready to go Kate?"

"Uhhh…

"Katharine? Solomon asked, was there something you were going to tell me?"

            Katharine looked at her father then peered back up at Peter, who was giving her an noticeable headshake, but before she could give her answer, the phone rang.

"Excuse me for a moment", Solomon said before turning and leaving the room.

            At about the same time Yugi came skipping silently down the stairs, but stopped before he reached the bottom so he could listen to what his parents were talking.  He pressed himself close to the wall and hide in the cover of darkest.

"Katharine, Peter started, we can't tell your father what's really going on…or anyone for that matter."

Katharine's eyes began to tear up.

"Are you sure we can't take Yugi with us."

Peter reached up and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Kate, you know we can't take him with us…and you know we can never come back either, he has to stay here.

            Katharine's eyes began to tear up again.  Then she looked up at Peter once more before she tucked herself under his arm and pressed her head into his chest.

            Yugi slide down the side of the stairway and stared into the darkness.

"They…they don't want me."

            Yugi flinched at the words that were still zooming around in his head…(He has to stay here…We can never come back).  Even though Yugi was young he still under one fact…that his parents were leaving and they weren't coming back; However he couldn't understand why they were leaving Domino City…leaving there lives behind…and leaving him.  Had he done something wrong, or did they just not love him anymore?  Yugi squeezed his eyes closed and allowed a tear to roll down one side of his cheek.  He was just too young to take it all at once.

Yugi's eyes suddenly popped open when he heard his grandfather re-enter to the living room.  At that point he had felt it best to go since grandpa always seemed to know where and when Yugi was listening in on someone else's conversation.  He then gripped the rail on the side of the stairway and managed to find the strength to pull himself back up to his room.

"Sorry that took so long," Solomon said upon entering the room.

"So Katharine, was there something you were going to tell me?"

            Katharine quickly dried her eyes before answering her father.

"No dad…there's nothing wrong."

            Solomon glanced up at Peter for a second before finally nodding his head at her.

            Peter, having looked outside and noticed the setting sun, looked down at his watch and found that if they did leave now they would be late for there flight.

"Honey…we have to go now or we're going to miss or flight."

"Wait, Katharine said pulling on his arm, we have to tell Yugi goodbye."

Peter looked down into her pleading eyes and smiled weakly.

"Yugi", Peter called out in the direction of the stairs, we are leaving…come say goodbye."

But there was no sound.  They waited for a moment hoping to hear Yugi come barreling down the stairs, but he never did.  Finally Solomon spoke up.

"He probably fell asleep."

"Well, Peter said, tell him we said goodbye when he wakes up…

"And that we love him", Katharine added.

Solomon nodded as he waved them off.

            Yugi sat on his bed and watched as his parents drove out of the driveway and out of his life.  Then he watched as the car drove into the setting sun and then disappeared for good.  Yugi raised his hand to the window.  "Goodbye".  Then he slowly let his hand slid down off the window.

"Yugi?"

            Yugi jumped at the sound of someone else's voice and turned around to see grandpa standing in the doorway with a small map and an old golden box in his hand.

"Grandpa!"

"I thought you were asleep, Yugi, didn't you hear us calling you a few minutes ago?"

            Yugi didn't answer; he just turned back to the window.  Solomon didn't question his grandson's action, but instead came over and sat down beside him on the bed.

"Here, Yugi"

"Huh?, What's this?"

            Yugi took the small folded up piece of paper out of grandpa's hands and began to unfold it.

"This is a map of Egypt…see, this red dot shows you where your mom and dad are going to be."

            Yugi looked at the red dot for a moment.

(A/N: Italic means thinking to their self)

Why do I need this?  My parents aren't coming back…"We have to leave him here"…Why should I worry about where they are?

            Finally Yugi folded the map up and shoved it into his dresser drawer.  Solomon was surprised at Yugi's action towards the map, but decide to just ignore it.

"And this, Solomon said as he opened the golden box.  Golden beams shot everywhere, causing some to hit Yugi's face.  Yugi's attention was suddenly directed right towards the glowing box.

"Ah…what is this grandpa?"

"This is an ancient artifact I found on one of my digs in Egypt."

"But…what is it?"

"I found it in the pharaoh's tomb…It's called the Millennium Puzzle."

"The…Millennium…Puzzle."

"Yes, the puzzle is rumored to have magic powers that are granted to the person who solves the puzzle."

"Oh…like a genie…can you make a wish on it?"

            Grandpa laughed for a second and then ruffled Yugi's hair.

"Yeah…I don't see why you couldn't make a wish on."

            Grandpa sat the box on Yugi's lap and looked at the excitement on his face as he picked up the different pieces and tried to make them fit.

"I thought it might give you something to do while your parents are gone."

            The excitement left Yugi's face when grandpa mentioned his parents.

"Well, grandpa said, I'm going to make super." " How does Roman sound?"

            Yugi only nodded his head.  He was still starring at the puzzle pieces.

            After grandpa left the room Yugi sat the puzzle box by the window and keep one big piece gripped in his hand.  He glazed out the window and watched as all the kids passed by and then at the faint reflection of himself in the window.

"One wish", Yugi repeated under his breath.

            He rubbed his finger gently across the eye on the large piece as the center began to glow, but his attention was not on the eye but on a blonde kid wearing a green jacket walking down the street.

            Yugi then gripped the piece even tighter.  The light began to pour from the piece like water.

"I wish I had a true friend."

**~~Flashback end~~**

            Yugi stood in front of the now well lit moon.  He sighed as he looked up into the lime light of a near by streetlight that had seemed to have surrounded him.  Yugi had just now fully realized that it was dark and quickly began to check his watch.  He gasped when he saw that the time was so late.

"Well, I guess it's time to go home", Yugi though, but not only because it was getting late, it was also because he could feel Yami pushing at the link that Yugi had closed off hours ago.  He didn't feel like talking to anyone at the moment, so Yugi neatly tucked the map into his pocket and then headed off in the direction of the Game Shop.

**~~Egypt~~**

"Mr. Toton…Mr. Peter Motou is here like you asked."

"Thank you, J…you may go now."

J bowed his head and then exited the office.

"You called for me Mr. Toton," Peter asked with a looked of disgust in his eyes.

"Yes, I have a job for you, Pete." "I need you to pick something…well…maybe I should say someone up for me."

"What do you mean?" Peter asked in confusion.

"I need you to bring this boy to me."

Mr. Toton then slide a face down picture across his desk and then towards Peter.  Peter widen his eyes in fright, but instead of taking the picture he took a step back.

"You mean, Peter said in a shocked voice, you want me to kidnap someone?!"

"No of course not, if you'd just look at the picture…then you would see what I'm talking about."

Peter raised his eyebrow at the remark, but stepped toward the picture and took it in his hands.  Peter slowly turned the picture over and almost dropped it in shock.

"This must be a joke!" he spat, "I'm not going to kidnap my own SON!"

"I thought you might say that…so I was prepared."

Mr. Toton raised his hand into the air and then snapped once.

A bright light shot out from one corner of the room.  Peter gasped when he saw what the light revealed and then began to run towards the corner, but was held back by two of Toton's guards.

"Katharine!!"

Katharine was tied and gagged in the corner and J was holding a gun to her head.

"I wouldn't run towards Katharine like that again…J might get nervous and pull the trigger, and you wouldn't want that would you."

"You'll pay for this Toton."

"So then we have a deal, Toton said as he rose from his chair, bring me Yugi Motou and I don't make swiss cheese out of your wife."

Toton held out his hand as Peter gave him a horrified look.

"Deal?"
