Chapter One; Life's A Puzzle

Have you ever wondered what its like to have voices speaking to you from within you, somewhere? I have. Many years ago I begged to have split personalities, to have someone to talk to, so I wouldn't be so alone anymore. I wanted this, so I could have friends. Now I have these friends, and sometimes I wish they would just shut up!

My name? Yugi Moto. I'm a highschooler, young, and short. Extremely so for someone of my gender and age. With a rather high pitched voice for a guy at the age of 16 as well, I'm the source for many jokes. I have always been picked on as a child, right on up to a few years ago. That's when I came across the millenium puzzle.

What is the millenium puzzle you ask? Well as the name suggests, it was a puzzle. An unsolvable one! And I, Yugi Moto, was the first to solve it in over fi-.

Yami: What do you mean, YOU, solved the puzzle? If it weren't for my help your stumpy little fingers wouldn't have been able to complete the darn thing! Well, I've never felt so unloved before in all my years of entrappment in here...Hey, Yugi! I almost forgot! We're out of milk!...AGAIN! Could you pick some up? Thanks.

Sure...

* Sigh * Do you see what I put up with? And it wasn't that bad at first. It was only just Yami. But as the years progressed and we faced many dangerous (or not so...) and difficult foes. More voices, more spirits, began to accumulate in my puzzle's soul room. Although now, technically, it could be called a soul house now.

Yami: I'm still waiting for that milk, Yugi!

* Sigh * Coming, coming...there, happy now?

Yami: Much, thank you.

Sure, whatever... (much to his surprise its not milk, its cream).

(In the background: 'Ahhhhhh! Yugi, that is the worst milk I've ever tasted!')

So, let me give you a brief introduction of all the souls living within my mind.

First off, there's Ryou, otherwise called Florence. He's usually quiet, but when his other soul, Bakura, is around, well, lets just say he's not so quiet.

Speaking of Bakura, he's a thief with a strange hobby. He liked to fight with Marik...a lot. And when he's not doing that, or bothering Ryou, he's normally looking for something to torture. Oh, how he likes to torture... O.O

And Marik, he's an oddball. When Melvin's soul became attached to my puzzle, so did his. He's slightly evil (or so I think), all he seems to do though is sit by himself, mumble words under his breath, and laugh sometimes. Melvin, however, is much worse. He's surrounded by darkness and all he does is cackle...Except when he's looking for a hug.

Don't hug him though, bad things happen to those who hug him.

Finally, there's Yami. He's been there the longest. He was the first and original soul that was trapped within the puzzles walls. He's a pharaoh, or was in ancient Egypt anyway. Now he's my problem, and sometimes I wish he would never have been trapped in the puzzle in the first place.

I never wanted this, I never deserved this. I'm off to school now though, I just hope and pray I can make it through the day with no incidents at all. Though more than likely I won't...

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, the characters, or anything to do with Yu-Gi-Oh, or Yu-Gi-Oh the abridged, which I based this off of.

Yugi: You know, I'm pretty sure I never agreed to this in my contract.

Bakura: Oh, shut up, you aren't the worst off out of all of us you know.

Me: Boys, play nice, or I'll get Melvin to hug the both of you!

Both:...O.O...kay.

Me: ^.^

Chapter Two coming soon!...hopefully...
