Kaiomi: Yey! This is my second fic, but it's my first one about YuGiOh! Hope you guys like it, instead of me talking with Trunks, Goten, Pan, etc. it'll be with Yugi, Yami, Joey, Tristen, etc. duh! Okays, guess I have to start writing ne? Sorry that I didn't finish Remembering and Reunion it's because I have permanent writer's block on that story, but I promise I'll write some at least during the winter break (three weeks pass by really fast).
Yugi: Hee hee, and for every review Kaiomi promised me a plushy! I want a Karibos first then a Mika doll from Remembering and Reunion, then a dark magician girl, and …
Kaiomi: I didn't promise you that!
Yugi: But Yami said…
Kaiomi: Yami!!!! *grabs the nearest mallet in the room, which is from a collection of about twenty*
Yami: Uh oh.
Yugi: Um, I guess the story has to begin soon or else Yami will get hurt.
Yami: Say the disclaimer quick! Before she kills me!
Kaiomi: I will kill you, Yami! *raises the five-foot long mallet above his head*
Yugi: *Sweatdrop* Okay here it goes…
Disclaimer: Kaiomi doesn't own me or any part of YuGiOh! *reads a nearby sticky note* Um, it says here that you can't sue her but she wishes she owned… me. *another sweatdrop appears* Okay, here's the story! *presses the upload button on the screen*

Yugi woke up to the sounds of birds singing on his windowsill and his grandpa making breakfast in the morning. From where his bed was located it gave him a view from the window; sunlight barely streamed through telling him that it was before seven, his usual wake-up time. Life was perfect as far has he knew, he had great friends, his grandpa was back, and Yami decided to live with him instead of moving back to the Shadow Realm. But something was bothering him. He recalled his dreams from the past two weeks. They all began with him standing in a white room although there weren't any visible light fixtures, in the center of the room was a gold-cased box with the millennium eye engraved on it with other unimportant carvings around it. The box seemed to glow from within and the top slowly began to open, emitting a bright pale-blue light. But before it could open completely, his alarm, Yami, or some other distraction would wake him up before the box revealed its secret. Now that he thought about it, it was exactly like the box his grandpa gave to him with the millennium puzzle pieces, later which he used to store his deck of Duel Monster cards, also provided and built by his grandpa. Maybe there was something more to it that it seemed he thought after getting the box from his shelf…but he was interrupted when Yami opened his room door.
"Hey, Yug, you up yet? Oh, I see you are breakfast is ready. Grandpa made omelets, your favorite." Yami walked over and sat next to his brother, "Why are you staring at that box? It isn't going to float away or anything. Let's eat." He tugged at his hikari.
"Yami, do you think that there might be some secret still in this box, I mean besides the fact that the millennium pieces came from it? Because this box came from Egypt, maybe there's…" he didn't get to finish because Yami cut him off.
"Look Yugi, it's just a box you've had it for a while and your grandpa had it for about half of his lifetime and nothing happened. So just drop the subject," Yami saws how downcast his aibou was and it tore his heart seeing him like that because of his impatient voice. "I know, how about you bring that thing to school and you can ask your friends about it, okay?"
"Sure, thanks Yami." Yugi gave him a big hug and grin then skipped to the kitchen.
He's so easy to please, and yet maybe he is right, Yami shook his head smiling a little. It always feels that a part of me is still in that box, maybe there is something more to the box than meets the eye, and whenever I'm near that thing the feeling grows stronger. Maybe it's just my imagination, or is it a coincidence? Yami thought to himself, stared at the golden container again, and then walked back to the kitchen after Yugi.
After four boring subjects of math, history, science, and ick…English it was lunch. After Yugi and his friends all got their lunches and sat down, Yugi brought up the subject again about his card-storage box.
Yugi: So I was thinking that this box still holds something in it that I don't know about, what do you think guys?
Joey: Don't ask me *munch, gulp* well, I don't know, ask Tristen.
Tristan: Your right, you don't know anything at all, so Yugi shouldn't ask you anything.
Joey: That's not what I said! #Sprays Tristen with partially chewed pieces of a hamburger mixed with green Jell-O, which looked nasty on his face#
Tea: Ew...boys are so gross.
Mai: You can say that again.
~I know, Mai isn't and doesn't go to the same school as Yugi, but for the sake of this story let's just say that she does and so do the other characters and their yami's, yes, even Y/M. Although he's supposed to be the guy who kills everyone when his temper rises and has a thing for carrying knives everywhere, it could happen, right?, I'm too lazy to spell his entire name so he'll just be Y/M for the story. Does Mai even go to a school by the way…~
Tristen: That's it! *Tears a piece of paper that says 'Truce between Joey and Tristen'* if you're going to do that then the war is on!
Joey: Bring it on!
~Well I'll just let you guys picture what happens next ^^~
Serenity: Guys, everyone is staring at you fighting.
Yugi: Make them stop, Yami!
Yami: Fine, #pulls a mallet from one of his deep coat pockets# *Wham!* #Yami hits Joey and Tristen, smashing them into pancakes at the same time#
Yugi: Hey, Yami, where did you get that mallet?
#Kaiomi appears suddenly, giving Yami death looks#
Yami: Er, here Kaiomi. *innocently smiles and hands over the mallet, placing it in her outstretched hands*
*WHACK!* ~Yami now joins the pile of squished beings on the floor.~
Kaiomi: ^^ Bye Yugi! *disappears in a poof of smoke and takes her mallet with her*
Everyone around Yugi: *sweatdrop*
Yugi: *blushes slightly*
Royu: Yugi, who was that?
Bakura: I'd like to know that too. Is she your girlfriend?
Yugi: …*blushes more* She's the author of this story.
Bakura: Okay… ~he doesn't actually get it, but who would want to appear being stupid in front of people?~
*Bell rings indicating that lunch ends*
Yugi: Can everyone meet at my grandpa's shop after school?
Everyone: Sure.
Mai: What are you doing Royu?
Royu: Using my bike pump to restore Joey, Tristen, and Yami, what else?
Mai: *sweatdrop*
#Five minutes later Royu was able to recover all of the victims of mallet hits.#
After school at Yugi and Yami's grandfather's living room…
Yugi: So everyone's here except YM and Bakura. Does anyone know where they could be?
Royu: I overheard from Bakura's thoughts that they were going to ditch this meeting and go to a movie. Sorry Yug. By the way Malik said that he was going to an appointment somewhere, so he can't come either.
Yami: Why those lazy…!
Yugi: Yami, don't say it.
Yami: All right, but I'll ring those guys necks when I see them again. There is no excuse to miss a meeting that they said they would come. Especially that totally lame excuse Malik gave.
Joey: Hey, is there any more dip?
Mai: Wasn't that your third bowl?
Tea: And your third bag of chips?
Joey: ^^
Tristen: You big hog. Have you ever heard of sharing food?
Joey: Nope.
Tea: Yugi, weren't you talking about something about the box of yours during lunch?
Yugi: Yeah *nods* here *he pulls out his case from his backpack.*
Mai: #observes it closely with both of her hands# The puzzle thing around your neck came from this, right? So maybe this is another puzzle to solve, it has the same design of that creepy eye on it and is the same color too. It's a possibility anyway.
Yami: So you know how to solve it?
Mai: I have absolutely no clue at all ^.^
Everyone: *falls to the ground*
Tea: Here, let me see it Mai. *Mai gives it to her* Mai maybe onto something. Maybe the millennium eye Yugi and Yami wear is the key to this puzzle.
Royu: That's it! *everyone turns to stare at him* The key is the puzzle itself. May I borrow your necklace please Yugi and the box Tea?
Yugi: Sure *places his millennium item in Royu's hand and Tea does the same with the golden box.*
Royu: See? On both of them they have the same Egyptian eye carving except for one thing. The millennium piece has is embossed and the box has it engraved. Since the designs are the same size they should fit when you place them together and I assume that it will open something.
Yami: Well lets see if Royu the genius is correct.
Serenity: Yami you're just jealous that you didn't think of it first. And Royu's just naturally smart, that's why he's a transfer student. *Royu begins to blush*
Yami: Like I care.
Serenity: Go on, do it. Don't listen to Yami.
Royu: Here it goes *everyone holds his or her breath*
A faint click is heard when the two objects meet.
Tea: Did it work?
Royu: Can't really tell, I can sorta jiggle the two pieces together, but it won't turn. I think it has to turn completely in order for the secret to be revealed.
Mai: Give me that *grabs both items away from Royu and tries it for herself.* It really is stuck; you try Tea.
Tea: *strains from the effort* Well I give up, maybe you don't have to turn it.
Yami: All right, *sighs* how about everyone tries and the person who actually does it gets to have lets see *he checks in his wallet* five dollars?
Joey, Tristan, Tea, Mai, Serenity, and Royu: It's mine!
Yugi:*looks at his friends fighting over the chance to win five dollars* Yami, why did you do that?
Yami: Dunno exactly, cheap entertainment is probably the best reason though. This beats watching a movie any day.
Yugi: *sweatdrop*
After half an hour the participants of the quarrel all lay in an exhausted heap in the middle of the floor with the two pieces barely held by Joey. Yami threw away his empty bag of popcorn, which he ended up sharing with Yugi and walked over, to Joey, snatched Yugi's posessions, and gave it back to him.
Yami: Here Yug, not sure if my premonition is right but since you own both of them it's obvious that you should be the person who can unlock this thing.
Yugi: Okay. #A mystic silver aura surrounded Yugi as he turns it. Each more degree turned makes him glow brighter. Then suddenly the glow begins to fade as he turned it the full 360°, so the two objects were in their original position.#
Everyone except Yami stares at Yugi surprised at the scene before them.
Tea: Is anything supposed to happen about now?
Serenity: Beats me. Oh shoot, Joey, we need to go home. Mom wanted us to help with dinner, remember.
Joey: Bye you guys tell me if any thing happens *Serenity drags him out the door with surprising ease with tears running down his face.*
Serenity: Bye!
The people left in the room: o_o
Yugi: I think the surprise is inside. *he unlatches the cover*
This time the bottom of the red velvet-lined inside is partially lifted and a soft light is emitted from beneath the cushioning. Curious Yugi sticks his hand in there and pulls out a thin piece of cardstock printed with a familiar tan border and brown swirled with yellow and red to a black abyss in the center of the card.
Yugi: A duel monster card? I thought grandpa said that he built my deck with the most powerful cards in his collection. But then what is this?
Royu: Flip it over and see what monster you got.
Yugi: It's something called the Heart of the Cards
Yami: What! I haven't seen this card in over a millennia so how is it possible that Yugi now possesses the most sought after and valuable card in the history of Duel Monsters?
To be continued in chapter 2…the power of a soul
Kaiomi: Well I hope you guys enjoyed the story. Sorry for changing the format after the first five paragraphs or so, but after a while I became too lazy to press Shift then '(apostrophes) to make " (quotation marks). I'll be doing that in the rest of the story depending on the circumstances. In the next chapters the * and # things will be replaced with parenthesis to make it easier to understand, heck I even got myself confused with these symbol things.
Yugi: Keep reading because there'll be more of me in the future…By the way did you really mean that you wanted to own me in the disclaimer?
Kaiomi: ^^
Yami: The author has gone nuts over the main character.
Kaiomi: What did you say? I hit you before and I'll hit you again if you don't shut up.
Yami: …
Kaiomi: Much better. I'm trying to cut down on my swearing sometimes I just can't help it, just ta warn you guys that's why I rate my stuff PG 13. I know my grammar stinks and I probably have like fifty errors in this thing. But what can you expect? I got a 'C' on my English paper because of my horrid punctuation and run-ons. So don't flame me if you spot an error. This goes for all the future fics or poems I post later too. By the way Seto Kaiba will be in the next chap, but Y/M, Malik, Isis, and Bakura won't be in the story for a while. I tried to include all of them in the beginning, but it got me all confused. So you guys have to wait a while for everyone to be included or until one of the eight or so characters leaves the story.
Yugi: Byes!
Kaiomi: Thanks for reading this chapter! Don't forget to read my other stuff too. It's not the best quality writing but I tried at least. And that's what counts, right? I'm writing at 4 a.m. and getting five hours of sleep a day so I might write some weird stuff, so don't mind that. ^.^ Lack of sleep and food can make you write and think weird things… Don't forget to review please!
