After eight months, seventeen year old Yugi Mutou was one piece away from completing the Millennium Puzzle.
When Yugi's Grandfather came back from a dig in Egypt, he gave him the puzzle as a gift and told him the legend behind it.
Three thousand years ago an ancient pharaoh locks his spirit in the puzzle to save the world from the shadows.
Yugi gazed at the puzzle for a moment before slowly placing the last piece in.
A bright light then shine from the puzzle causing Yugi to drop it on the table and fall down to the bedroom floor. After the light disappeared Yugi opened his eyes to see a boy about his age.
He was wearing a purple cape and light brown and blue shirt and lot of jewellery and has the same extravagant hair consists of multiple layers; while his fringe is made up of long, crooked blond locks, the main body features seven large, black spikes with magenta-rimmed edges and amethyst colored eyes. The only differences between them is the fact that the boy has a darker skin tone than him and seems to over shadowed him by about four inches to his short height of '5.3'.
The mysterious boy jumped off the table and walked to Yugi.
"Hello! I will not hurt you. I come in peace." He said with his deep voice.
'Sound like something from ET.' He thought while still surprise for a moment till he clamed down and looked into his eyes to see that he was telling the truth. He then got up and asked, "Who are you and how did you get inside the puzzle?"
The pharaoh sighed sadly before answering, "I don't remember how I got into the puzzle or anything about my past, not even my own name."
Yugi smiled and said, "Then I no I mean my Grandpa and I will help you and we can ask him if you can stay in the guest bedroom. He may think that story is a bit ridiculous at first but will generally come around to it. He is fascinated by supernatural things."
"Yugi. Who are you talking to?" Grandpa Mutou asked from downstairs.
"You will soon find out Gramps." He answered. "And you are going to be in for a surprise."
The two went downstairs and explained the situation to Grandpa. He smiled calmly before saying,
"The legends are true. The former king of Egypt did reside in the puzzle and my boy was the one to free him."
"So gramps, can he get the guest room?" Yugi asked.
"Oh, of course he can." He replied.
Yugi walked over to sit beside him in the sofa and said, "Now you need a name, I mean we can't just keep calling you pharaoh or people will think we are crazy."
Mr. Mutou sat across from them and everyone got into their thinking pose. Grandpa looked at the two and saw how dark and mysterious the pharaoh was to Yugi's innocent and childlike appearance and asked, "How about Yami?"
They agreed and all three were about to go upstairs till Yugi stop and said, "Gramps can he come to school with me and get an education. Please Grandpa and Yami I know you will love school you can learn all types of stuff and I have a feeling you will be staying here with us for a very long time."
Yami thought about it and said, "Sure, it sounds enjoyable but only if your willing to let me go Mr. Mutou."
"Of course you can go Yami and please you can call me Grandpa. Now if we are going to make this look real we will say that you are Yugi's twin brother and you just move back from Egypt because your mother had died from cancer just a couple years after your father died in a car crash and you choose to stay with your mother and take care of her while going to school and Yugi came here to live with me. Got it?" Gramps said in a serious tone
"Got it!" Both Yugi and Yami said in unison.
"Grandpa, you sounded like you have been thinking of that idea for a while now." Yami said.
"Yeah, almost like he planned for a situation like this." Yugi mentioned.
"No! It's call smart thinking." Gramps replied. "My brain still works fast even after so many years."
Now Yugi said while smiling, "You can get the clothes that can't fit me. I will give you them to change in and we are going to get you some new clothes for school and stuff so you don't stick out like a store thumb."
Yami changed into a black jeans pants and matching sleeveless shirt showing off his masculine arms and then turn to Yugi to realize they were wearing the same thing and both headed to the mall while grandpa went to register Yami into Domino High along with Yugi.
One week later…
Yami had slowly begun to adjust to his new life while still trying to find out about his old one.
Yugi mentioned that he had three best friends, by the name of Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, and Tea Gardner and thought it would have been best to let them in on the secret so that they could help them out.
Meanwhile…In New York
Tea took a deep breath before saying, "How I managed to fit two months worth of clothes into one suitcase will forever stay a miracle."
Turning around she saw a picture of herself, Yugi, Joey and Tristan at the first day of school. 'In three days I get to see you guys again and I can't wait.' She thought while taking it up. Then something weird happened. Yami appeared on the picture, standing behind Tea and holding her hand for a moment before disappearing. She then dropped the picture and said. "Wired!" She closed her eyes and opened them back again. "Maybe I do need glasses after all."
