Hey guys, it's RosetheHedgehog here and I am making another Yu-Gi-Oh! story. Reason for doing this is because me and Zeref13 are just taking a small break from Four sets of Counterparts and our new story The Chosen one of the the Crimson Dragon. Don't worry we have done some of the next chapters, but it's just taking a while to write, but like I said we are just taking a small break and should have a new chapter as soon as we finish writing it, so please be patient.
For this Yu-Oh-Oh! story I'm starting from season 0, but not doing the Seto Kaiba and Ryou Bakura scenes from it, as of I want to go onto Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, just will just make it hard to write season 0 to Duel Monsters, as they meet up with Seto Kaiba in Season 0, but in Duel Monsters they don't meet until the first episode.
So, to make it easier on me, I'm not going to add Seto Kaiba and Ryou Bakura until after Season 0.
But enough rambling from me, let's start the first chapter.
Chapter one
It was a normal school day at Domino High the students were sitting in their classrooms, until the bell went. A girl with white hair ran out of her classroom and to another, before running inside and hugs a older boy with the same coloured hair startling him.
"Hikari, you scared the crap out of me," The boy said to the white haired girl.
"Sorry, onii-san. I was just excited to see you again, so I can hang out with you, Hiraku," Hikari said to her older brother.
Hiraku gave a small smile, before giving Hikari a hug, making her smile.
Both of them let go of the hug and walked out of Hiraku's classroom and to the cafeteria to get some lunch.
They both passed a classroom, before they heard someone talking in the room.
"Should take a look to see who's taking?" Hikari asked Hiraku.
Hiraku just shrugged his shoulders, as he opened the classroom door to see a boy with a star haircut, he had black for the base colour, amethyst tips and a blond fringe that shaped his face, along with soft amethyst eyes sitting by himself at his desk.
"Onii-san look at the gold box on his desk, it has the eye Anubis on the front, like our Millennium items," Hikari whispered to Hiraku.
Hiraku looked at the box and to see that his sister was right.
"Should we go and talk to him?" Hikari asked her brother.
"Might as well," Hiraku said, as he walked into the classroom along with Hikari behind him.
The two siblings walked up to the boy, which got his attention and looked up at them with a smile.
"Hi," The boy said, as he gave them both a cheerful smile.
"Hi. I'm Hikari Fijimoto and this is my older brother, Hiraku Fijimoto," Hikari introduced themselves to the boy with a smile, while Hiraku gave small wave.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Yugi Muto," Yugi introduced himself.
"Hikari, you stay here with Yugi, while I go and grab our lunch," Hiraku said to her.
"Okay," Hikari said, with a smile before hugging him, then took a chair and sat at Yugi's desk.
Hiraku left the room to grab lunch for Hikari and himself, as he trusted Yugi to look after his sister, while he was gone.
"Hey Yugi, what's in the golden box?" Hikari asked him curious.
"In this box, is my treasure, but it's a complete secret. So, here's the quiz… the treasure in this box is something you can see, but you've never seen before. So! What is it? The answer is…" Yugi didn't get to finish as the golden box was snatched out of his hands, making Yugi and Hikari look at the boy with blond hair.
"Joey?" Yugi said to the boy.
"Yugi, why were you talking to yourself? Can see but can't see, saying a bunch of stuff I don't get," Joey said, a little annoyed.
"Then don't say anything, until he finishes then you will get it, baka," Hikari said to him.
"Where did you come from?" Joey asked, as he looked at Hikari.
"I was here before you were, now return Yugi's box as it's not yours," Hikari said to him.
"Ah! Please return that! Return…" Yugi said, as he jumped up to reach the box.
Joey tossed the box in the air before jumping over one of the desks and catching it again, before Hikari could grab it.
"Man, timidly treasuring this box… You know Yugi… That's the part of you that really pisses me off. Let me coach you into being more of a man! Come on, you want this box back right?! If so, then come at me full force!" Joey said to him.
"I… I hate fighting and violence!" Yugi yelled, making both Hikari and Joey cover their ears.
"You got no guts, but you've got a loud voice!" Joey said, while still covering his ears.
"Ah, just give me that box back," Yugi said to the blond.
"Yeah! Stop it, Joey," a brown haired boy said.
"Oh?! You want something? 1 year, student president reject…clean up member Tristan," Joey teased him smirking.
"I'm not a clean up member! I'm a beautification club member!" Tristan yelled at Joey.
"You're voice is loud too!" Joey groaned in annoyance.
"Oh, it's true, I was not elected as student president, but… but I'm reborn as a great man, as a beautification club member…" Tristan said to them.
"By the way, what's in the box?" Joey asked Yugi, ignoring Tristan.
"You can look, just don't lose it. It's EXTREMELY important to me," Yugi said to him.
"Listen when a person's talking!" Tristan yelled at Joey, while he was looking in the box, before closing the lid and gave a bored face.
"What? How boring," Joey said, before Hiraku snatched the box back from Joey, making Hikari smile at him.
"Onii-san!/Hiraku!" Both Hikari and Yugi said smiling, as he walked up to her, before turning around and glaring at Joey.
"If it's boring then give it back right away! Also, bullying someone weaker than yourself, you're the boring one!" Hiraku said to him glaring.
"I'm not bullying the weak! I'm making Yugi a man…" Joey said.
"Shut up!" Hiraku said in a dark tone, that made Joey flinch in fear.
Both Tea and Miho came a little while later, Miho told Tristan that their was too many people that the cafeteria, making him and along with Joey run off, while the other two walked to a cover of the room and talked.
"Impressive. They're pretty scared of you, Hiraku," Yugi said to him, as Hiraku gave him his box back.
"Well, I have to, so I can protect, Hikari," Hiraku said, as he gave her a small smile, making her smile back.
Hiraku gave his little sister her lunch, making her give him a hug, before eating.
"Yugi, sometimes you've gotta have guts," Hiraku said to him, before starting to eat his own lunch.
"But, Joey isn't that bad of a guy…" Yugi said shyly.
"Saying that about such a guy is why people probably mock you. By the way, what is this?" Hiraku asked, as he pointed at the golden box.
"Oh right! Hikari, Hiraku, you haven't seen this right? Let me show you my secret," Yugi said to them smiling.
"Okay!" Hikari said smiling.
"We'll keep it a secret, just let us see," Hiraku said to him.
Yugi opened the box to reveal golden puzzle pieces, making the two siblings look at it in awe.
"It's beautiful!" Hikari said, as she picked up one of the pieces and felt a feeling of warmth coming from it.
"So, is this a puzzle of some kind?" Hiraku asked Yugi.
"Yeah, it's a puzzle. I haven't finished it, so I don't know what it's shape is yet. So, it's something you can see, but can't," Yugi explained smiling, as he held up two pieces.
"I see," Hiraku said understanding.
"My house is a game store, so we've got games from various countries. This is the prided find of someone who used to own the store. They found it in a Egyptian ruin, it's a very rare puzzle," Yugi said holding the box.
"Egypt?" Both siblings said, as they knew this was a clue to knowing more on his Millennium item.
"Well look, there's all these strange markings carved around the box. I'm guessing the meaning of this is written here. 'The person who solves this puzzle will have their wish granted.' Ha ha! Yeah, I said too much!" Yugi said.
"So, what do you wish for?" Hikari asked Yugi, as Hiraku and her finished their lunch.
"No, no. This much definitely, definitely, definitely is a secret, okay," Yugi said, making Hikari whine in disappointment.
"Yugi, you said that your family owns a game shop?" Hiraku asked him in interest, along with Hikari.
"Yeah, I could show you guys after school, unless… you're busy," Yugi said, while saying the last part with a sad look.
"No, we're not. We live by ourselves in a apartment, as Hiraku has a job so he pays the bills and all that, while I cook for us and get stuff that we need," Hikari said smiling, shocking Yugi.
"What! You live on your own! Where are your parents?" Yugi asked.
"We ran away from our father, as our parents divorced a few years ago and our own mother didn't want us, so she just left us with him. Our father started getting drunk after that, he would try and hurt Hikari but I would stop him and he would hurt me instead. Eventually we had enough and just ran away, I managed to get a job that made us enough money, so we could survive and rent a small place," Hiraku explained, while Hikari held his hand in comfort.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up," Yugi said, with a sad expression.
"It's fine, Yugi. You didn't know, besides no one's life is perfect," Hikari said to him softly, with a smile.
"But, we will come over to the game shop, after school. Imoto-chan, was there anything you want to get food wise or are we still okay on food?" Hiraku asked his sister.
"We're fine for tonight, but I'm go food shopping tomorrow," Hikari said to him.
Hiraku nodded, before looking that time on the clock in the classroom.
"We should get to our class soon," Hiraku said to Hikari and she nodded in understanding.
"We'll meet you at the front door of the shoe lockers," Hikari said to Yugi, as the two siblings stood up.
"Okay, see you later," Yugi said, before they left and split to their own classrooms.
. . . . . .
After school, Yugi, Hiraku and Hikari were walking across the school grounds towards the front gates, but they heard people yelling and while a buff man wearing the boys uniform with a red arm sash was yelling some duty rules and what not at the other men.
"Wait a moment you!" The leader of the men, walked up to Yugi and the two siblings, making Hiraku glare at him, as he didn't trust the guy in front of him, as he put an arm around Hikari's shoulders and pulled her close to him.
""You're Yugi Muto?" The leader said to him.
"Yes," Yugi said looking at him.
"Actually I want to ask you something. You… Have the class students been bullying you?" The leader asked Yugi.
"Nothing like that's happened to me!" Yugi said to the leader.
"Wait a moment. A person like you would reply like that. I must properly investigate this. You can relax Yugi. For now on, I, Trudge, will be your bodyguard," Trudge said, with a smirk that Hiraku didn't like.
"Eh?! But I really haven't experienced that," Yugi said to him.
"He doesn't need a bodyguard, Trudge. He has us to help him out, as we are his friends," Hiraku said, in a slight threatening tone towards Trudge.
"Now, if you you excuse us, we need to go home," Hikari said, as she grabbed her brother's and Yugi's hand and they left.
"What the heck was that? Weirdo," Yugi said to himself.
The three of them continued to walk to the game shop, while talking about other stuff other than Trudge.
"I'm home…" Yugi said, as he opened the game shop door to see Tea standing there.
"Tea!" Yugi looked at her surprised, as he and the siblings walked into the game shop.
"It's been so long since I came over to play," Tea said smiling.
"You're late Yugi!" A elder man said, as he walked up to him.
"I'm home Ojichan!" Yugi said smiling at him.
"By the way Tea, you've grown so much. Especially your chest! It's finally 80cm? Wonderful! Yugi, you also brought some new friends over to play," Yugi's grandfather said, looking at Hikari and Hiraku.
"Ojichan, this is Hiraku Fijimoto and his younger sister, Hikari Fijimoto," Yugi introduced his new friends to his grandfather.
"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Muto," Hikari said, as she gave a small bow of respect.
"Just call me, Ojichan or Solomon. I'm not a big fan of being traditional," Solomon said to her.
"Yugi told us a little about the puzzle he's working on," Hiraku said to Solomon, getting his attention.
"That puzzle, you still haven't given up on that?" Solomon asked his grandson.
"Who's giving up?!" Yugi asked.
"This puzzle is beyond human knowledge, you can't do it. By the way, there's a lot of history behind it," Solomon said to him, but catching the Fijimoto siblings attention.
"History?" Tea asked, before Solomon gave a serious look.
"An excavation team found the Millennium Puzzle…They brought the Pharaoh's box from a giant valley...But, everyone in the excavation died mysteriously. The last person left this behind because he wanted to live. Shadow game," Solomon explained, before giving a creepy face when saying the last part.
"Yugi, this puzzle sounds dangerous," Tea said to him freaked out, while the two Fijimoto siblings were thinking on what Solomon said.
"Shadow game? What's that? I like it," Yugi said to himself, as he looked at the golden box.
"Look at the symbols carved in the box. 'The one who solves me, will receive my dark knowledge and power.'" Solomon said, as he read what it said on the box.
"I see! So my wish will come true! I'm excited! I'm definitely going to finish it!" Yugi yelled in excitement, making Hikari giggle at him, while Hiraku chuckled.
"Return it! It's a treasure after all!" Solomon yelled, as he tried getting the golden box from Yugi.
"You're only thinking of value! No!" Yugi yelled, as he held the golden box tightly.
This made Hikari laugh harder, as the scene in front of her was entertaining and funny to watch, while Hiraku just smiled at his sister, as he was happy that she was smiling and laughing like this after so long.
Tea left a few minutes after the argument between grandson and grandfather, but Hikari and Hiraku stayed a few hours playing games with Yugi before going home.
On the walk home, Hikari started up a conversation.
"So, what do you think of Yugi?" Hikari asked Hiraku.
"He's a interesting character, but it should be interesting to see if he can solve the Millennium Puzzle and so we can see what powers it has," Hiraku said to her.
"I think he's nice and sweet, but he's a little too innocent for his own good," Hikari said and Hiraku nodded in agreement.
"Maybe if he solves it, it might trigger our items as well," Hiraku said in thought.
"Maybe…" Hikari said, as they made it to their apartment.
. . . . . .
The next day came around and it was in the middle of lunch time and Trudge asked Yugi to follow him, making Hikari and Hiraku go with him, just in case anything went wrong.
Trudge led them to the back of the gym to see Joey and Tristan on the ground beaten up, making Yugi, Hikari and Hiraku run up to them.
"Joey! Tristan!" Yugi yelled, as he looked at them worried, but they were stopped by Trudge who block their way.
"What do you think, Yugi?" Trudge asked, with a smirk.
"What is this?!" Both Hikari and Hiraku yelled at Trudge.
"I told you, Yugi. I, Trudge, will be your bodyguard. That's why we've been punishing these bullies," Trudge said to him.
"I told you Trudge, he doesn't need a bodyguard, when has us to help him!" Hiraku growled at him.
"No… Trudge, this is horrible! Are you okay Joey? Tristan?" Yugi asked, with worry in his voice, as he managed to go past Trudge along with Hikari and Hiraku, as they went up to them.
"Yugi… Damn you… are you satisfied?" Joey asked Yugi, with a small groan of pain.
"Yugi didn't say anything about bullying to Trudge, he only did it on his own," Hikari said to Joey, before glaring at Trudge.
"Why would I do such a thing, I'm only making sure that small kids like Yugi don't get bullied like those jerks your protecting, Hikari Fijimoto," Trudge said to her.
"You're the one who is bulling them, as they didn't do anything to you or Yugi!" Hikari yelled back, making Trudge annoyed at her.
"That's enough out of you girl!" Trudge said, as he went to slap Hikari, but Hiraku blocked it with his arm, as he sent him a hate filled glare at the now bully.
"Don't you dare hurt my Imoto, got it?" Hiraku growled out at Trudge, making him back up.
"Stop it!" Yugi yelled, as he ran in front of Hiraku, surprising him and Hikari, as they didn't except Yugi to do that.
"Well, well, Yugi. Are you covering for these guys? What a strange guy. Here's your chance to dispel any resentment you have. Punch! Kick!" Trudge said to Yugi.
"Do you think… I can do that to my friends?!" Yugi yelled at Trudge.
"Friends?" Joey said quietly, as he looked up at Yugi.
"What a rare guy! Friends you say? They're bullies that exploited you," Trudge said to him.
"They weren't bullying me. Joey just wanted me to be a man," Yugi said to Trudge.
"Man, you are a complete weirdo. Very well. By the way Yugi, it's time for you to pay up. Total cost of my bodyguard fees, 20,000 yen," Trudge said smirking, making Yugi, Hikari and Hiraku widened their eyes in shock.
"20,000 yen?!" Yugi yelled.
"If you don't pay up, I have other methods for you to pay up," Trudge said, as he looked at Hikari and licked his lips, making Hiraku growl at him.
"But let's be hopeful that won't happen if you just pay me the money," Trudge said, before he walked off.
"I can't make that much by tomorrow… that's impossible…" Yugi said to himself, but Hikari and Hiraku heard him.
"We can lend you some money, Yugi," Hikari said to him.
"No, no, no. You not have to do that. Besides you need it for food and other stuff," Yugi said to her.
"Yugi, we don't mind doing it, as I can make more by doing my job," Hiraku said to the spiky haired teen.
"My answer is no," Yugi said to him.
"Yugi-" both Hikari and Hiraku started, but Yugi shook his head no, as he made his mind up.
"Fine, but we are staying by you, so he doesn't hurt you," Hikari said to him.
Yugi just nodded, as he turn to where Joey and Tristan were, but they were gone.
"Come on, we need to get to class, before the bell goes," Hiraku said to Yugi and his sister.
"Okay," both of them said, as all three walked to class.
. . . . . .
It was evening at the Fijimoto apartment, as Hikari was cooking dinner for Hiraku and herself, while Hiraku was watching TV until Hikari was almost done cooking.
Hikari dished up dinner, before the phone started to ring making Hikari and Hiraku look at each other.
"I'll get it," Hiraku said to Hikari, as stood up and picked up the phone, before placing it near his ear.
"Hello, Hiraku Fijimoto speaking," Hiraku said.
"Hey Hiraku. It's Yugi. I was wondering if you saw a gold puzzle piece around from my Millennium Puzzle?" Yugi asked, with some stress in his voice.
"No, I haven't and Hikari hasn't. Did you lose a piece or something?" Hiraku asked.
"Yeah, I'm not sure where it is, so I'm going to the school and check the classroom to see if it is there," Yugi said.
"Hikari and me will come down with you and help look for it, as we don't know if Trudge is there or not," Hiraku said to him.
"Alright, meet you both at the front of the school," Yugi said, as he hung up the phone.
"What's going on, Hiraku?" Hikari asked him in confusion.
"Yugi lost one of the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle, so he's going to the school to search for it and I said to him we will meet up with him to help," Hiraku said to her, making her nod and quickly put plastic wrap on the top of their dinner and put them in the fridge, before they locked the door behind them and ran to the school.
Yugi was at the front of the school, when the Fijimoto siblings arrived.
"Yugi!" Hikari called out to him, making him turn to her.
"Hey, I appreciate you guys helping me find the last puzzle piece," Yugi said smiling.
"Wait, last piece? So, you are almost finished the Millennium Puzzle?" Hiraku asked Yugi.
"Yeah. I just hope the piece is at school," Yugi said, before they headed for the school building.
Both Hikari and Hiraku spotted a figure in front of the school building, but when they got closer they saw that it was Trudge.
"Yo Yugi," Trudge greeted, as he saw him.
"Trudge," Yugi said, as he stepped back slightly.
"You brought the bodyguard fee right? Good boy," Trudge said smiling.
"No! I just forgot something at school and came to pick it up! Anyway, I can't…" Yugi said to him, but stopped before Trudge spoke.
"Hmmmm, then I guess your going to need some education," Trudge said, as he was about to grab Yugi, but Hikari reaction time was quicker and so he grabbed her instead, shocking him but smirked.
"Well, like I said earlier, I have other ways for you to pay and that would be girlfriend here will have some fun with me," Trudge said, as his grip on Hikari tightened, making her flinch and Hiraku growled at him.
"Get your hands off my Imoto right now, you got it?" Hiraku growled at Trudge, with a anger filled glare at the taller boy.
Trudge didn't flinch from the threat, as he pulled Hikari closer to him, making her whimper slightly, as some of her memories from the past started to appear in her head.
Hiraku noticed the look in his sister's eyes, as she started to struggle in Trudge's grip, making him rush towards the bully and hit him hard in the stomach, making him lose his grip on Hikari.
Hiraku took the opportunity and pulled his sister towards him, making her relax in his embrace as he hugged her tightly, before slowly moving back to Yugi.
"Why you little punk! You will pay dearly for that!" Trudge yelled, as he recovered and ran towards Hiraku to hit him, but Yugi got in between them and took the hit instead, making Hikari and Hiraku worried for him.
"Yugi!" Both of the Fijimoto siblings yelled, making Trudge smirk.
"I won't let you hurt my friends…" Yugi said weakly to Trudge, while the Fijimoto siblings felt touched by his words, as he only knew them for a couple days and he already considered them as his friends.
"Hey!" Joey yelled, surprising the four of them.
"What? It's the bullies," Trudge said, looking at Joey and Tristan.
"Yugi! Hey! Hang on!" Joey said, as he ran up to Yugi.
"I… I… asked the puzzle… for some true friends," Yugi whispered, but Joey heard him before placing the last puzzle piece in Yugi's hand and stood up.
"Trudge! Up till now, I've respected you… But… I can't just let this stand!" Tristan said to him.
"Hikari, I want you to stay with Yugi, while I help Joey and Tristan," Hiraku said, as he turned to her.
"Are you sure?" Hikari asked, with worry in her voice.
"I'll be okay, I promise," Hiraku said to Hikari, making her nod as she went over to Yugi, while Hiraku stood up and walked up to Joey and Tristan.
"Oh! You think 3 on 1 is going to make you win?" Trudge said, with a smirk plastered on his face.
Joey, Tristan and Hiraku ran towards Trudge, ready to punch him hard but Trudge knocked Joey and Tristan out, while Hiraku just dodged his attacks and punch him.
"Joey! Tristan! Hiraku!" Yugi yelled, as he saw Joey and Tristan on the ground with more injuries on their faces, while Hiraku was still fighting Trudge.
"They're okay, Yugi. They're tough enough to get through the pain, so they could protect you," Hikari said to him, with a smile.
"Hikari…" Yugi said, until he felt something in his hand and opened it to see it was the last piece of his Millennium Puzzle.
Yugi went to reach for his Millennium Puzzle, but Hikari picked it up for him and passed it to him.
"Here," Hikari said, with a smile.
Yugi placed the last piece in the empty slot in the puzzle, until a golden glow of light blinded both Yugi and Hikari, while catching Trudge's and Hiraku's attention.
"What the fuck is that?" Trudge asked.
Hiraku looked to where Yugi and Hikari was to see the golden light was coming from the Millennium Puzzle, then suddenly Hikari's Millennium Headband and Hiraku's Millennium Bracelet started to glow like the Millennium Puzzle, making their vision turn black.
Yugi's, Hikari's and Hiraku's features started to change, before Yugi and Hikari stood up and opened their eyes, along with Hiraku to see that Yugi's eyes were the only one that change to a crimson red instead of amethyst.
"So… It's game time," Yugi said, in a more confident voice, before the scene changed to Trudge being on the side of a building, while being connected to a rope.
Meanwhile Yugi, Hikari and Hiraku were standing on top of the building smirking down at Trudge.
"What are you?! Bastard! Yugi!" Trudge yelled in shock, as he looked up at him.
"Yo! Trudge. I've got what you want right here," Yugi said to him, while Hikari leaned on Hiraku.
"What?! You got the money! So you brought it. Then I wouldn't have needed to put your girlfriend and you through that. So hurry and hand it over!" Trudge said, while Hikari and Hiraku glared at him.
"How boring, just handing it over," Yugi smirking.
"What?!" Trudge questioned in shock.
"How about it? Have a little game with me," Yugi said to Trudge.
"Game?!" Trudge asked even more confused.
"But it's no ordinary game… It's a Shadow Game!" Yugi said smirking.
"Ha! Interesting! I, Trudge, have never lost at any game! I accept!" Trudge said, with his own confidence.
"Impressive, Trudge. Here we go," Yugi said, as he jumped down the building and leaving a path of cards in between Trudge and himself.
"Don't let go of me, okay Imoto?" Hiraku said to Hikari, making her nod as she held him tightly.
"The rules are simple. Flip over these cards, person goes up by the value on the card...The other goes down. The person who makes it to the top wins the prize," Yugi explained to Trudge.
"Alright, I got it! Then I'll start! 10 of Diamonds! Well, Yugi, better prepare yourself," Trudge said, before walking up the building while counting.
"I've got a 10," Yugi said holding up the card.
"What?!" Trudge yelled shocked, as he went down.
This continued until Yugi was one step away from the top of the building and it was his turn.
Yugi picked up ace of Spades making him win the game by default, while Trudge was pissed off.
"Victory is mine," Yugi said to Trudge, with a smirk.
"Shut up!" Trudge yelled up at Yugi, with anger before climbing up.
"Breaking the rules? If you do that, you'll face something terrible," Yugi informed Trudge.
"Quiet!" Trudge yelled again, as he got to the top and tried to punch Yugi, but he dodged the in coming attack, making him fall down the building slowly.
"I knew you couldn't obey the rules," Yugi said.
"Yugi!" Hikari and Hiraku yelled out, while he was falling, but he sent them a reassuring smile at them.
"Fall!" Trudge yelled, as he snapped the rope.
"I did it!" Trudge said, as he opened the envelop and to find that it wasn't money.
"What is this?! This isn't money!" Trudge yelled, as he was holding a stack of cards.
"The Door of Darkness has been opened," Yugi's voice could be heard.
"What?!" Trudge yelled, before he fell, but managed to grab Hikari, making her fall with him.
"Yumi!" Hiraku yelled, as he tried to reach for her, but she was too far away.
Yumi screamed as she fell, as she closed her eyes tightly, but then felt something wrap around her and pulled her towards a object.
"Yumi, you can open your eyes now," Yumi heard Yugi's voice, as she opened her eyes to see that Yugi had catch her and that they were on solid ground.
"Yumi!" Hiraku yelled, as he ran towards them, before Yugi put her down to her feet and Hiraku hugged her.
"Thank Ra, you're okay," Hiraku said in the hug.
"It's thanks to Yugi," Yumi said, as she turned her head to him.
"It's fine, I was happy to help," Yugi said.
"Really, thank you, Yugi," Hiraku said to him.
"Called me, Yami. As I am the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle," Yami said to them.
"Then call us Yumi and Yuu, as we are spirits as well in our Millennium items," Yumi said to him.
"Very well," Yami said smiling.
"Is it me or do you look familiar to us?" Yuu asked Yami.
"I know what you mean, as you both look familiar to me as well," Yami said to him.
"We should our hosts home," Yumi said to the boys, who nodded in agreement.
. . . . . .
By the next morning Hikari, Hiraku and Yugi woke up to see that they were in their room with no memory of what had happened the night before, besides being at school to find the puzzle piece and that they ran in with Trudge and that Joey and Tristan were there as well.
Hikari and Hiraku got up to get ready for school and Hikari made a quick breakfast before they left to meet up with Yugi at the front gate.
Yugi was waiting at the school front gate, until the Fijimoto siblings walked up to him.
"Morning Yugi!" Hikari greeted him, with a smile.
"Morning Hikari. Hiraku," Yugi greeted his friends, before they walked to the school building, but saw a crowd of people surrounding something but Yugi, Hikari and Hiraku just ignored it and walked passed to their shoe lockers and changed to their inside shoes.
When they were walking to class, Hikari and Hiraku noticed the Millennium Puzzle around Yugi's neck and it was complete.
"So, you finished the puzzle?" Hiraku asked Yugi.
"Yeah, I did," Yugi said smiling.
The group of three eventually met up with Joey, who was leaning on a wall.
"Yo Yugi. Hikari. Hiraku," Joey greeted them separately.
"Joey! Good morning!" Yugi greeted him smiling.
"Morning Joey," Hikari said, with a small smile.
Hiraku just gave a nod to him in greeting.
"I'm following your example, I brought my treasure today. Want to see?" Joey asked Yugi and he nodded in excitement.
"Heh heh, too bad! My treasure… You can see it but you cannot, so I can't show it to you!" Joey said to him.
"You can see it but you can't?" Yugi asked trying to figure it out.
"It's 'Friendship'." Joey said.
"What?" Yugi asked confused.
"We can see it in each other… But you can't see courage itself right?" Joey said smiling.
"Yeah!" Yugi said smiling, as some tears formed in the corner of his eyes from the kindness, while the Fijimoto siblings smiled at the two.
"So… class is starting!" Joey said, before running off and in the progress one of his shoes fell off.
"Joey, you dropped your shoe!" Yugi yelled, as he picked up the shoe and ran after his new friend.
Hikari and Hiraku watched them and laughed at Joey's behavior, before they calmed down and began to walk to their classrooms.
