A/N: Hey y'all! I got the idea of a Digimon/Yu-Gi-Oh! crossover from The Create Card. Read his/her (not sure if it's a guy or girl), Taking On A New Host; it's awesome! Any ways, if you read my Dragon Ball Z fic, you'll know that I take forever to update. By the way, I'm not sure if any of these classes exist for first year high school'ers.

This chapter will be like the first episode of the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh!

One more thing. If I decide to continue with my fic, the adventures will be with both dealing in the real world and the Digital World.

How do you spell Daisuke/Davis' last name, Motamiya?

Chapter Summary: Tk finds the Millenium Puzzle disassembled at the shore of a river. A thug named Oihsu beats up Davis for money. Tk solves the puzzle and gets revenge…

This is thinking
"This is talking"

Millenium Darkness: Chapter 1 – Meet Yami Tk

By: Endorphin

Takeru Takaishi, known to his friends as Tk, walked along the street of Odaiba. His destination; Odaiba High. This was his first year in high school. Even though he was only 14, he had the mental maturity of someone who was 17. The adventures he had spent in the Digital World had forced him to mature at an early age. He had to survive with his friends when he was only 8 years old. He was then thrown into a world of danger once again at the age of 11, along with his long time crush, Hikari Yagami, known as Kari.

"A whole new school, a whole new adventure," Tk said to himself while walking the river. He decided to walk along the river because he wanted to watch the sun rise. His first class was at 8:30 and it was now 8:10, so he had time to spare. "I knew I should've taken the early lunch," he said while yawning.

He stopped walking when something at the corner of the eye attracted him. He slowly looked to the left and on the shore of the river was a golden box. He walked towards it and picked it up, studying it closely.

Hmm, I wonder what these hieroglyphs mean, he thought. Tk opened the golden box cautiously, and what he found inside amazed him. It must be a puzzle! A puzzle with…gold pieces!? Awesome!

He stared at the box intensely, wondering what the puzzle would turn out to be. He was pulled out of his trance by his watch alarm, signalling it was 8:15 and that he should get going.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Tk casually walked into his first class, astronomy. Amazingly enough, most of his classes were shared with his friends, Kari and Davis, as Yolei and Ken were one year older and Cody was still in elementary school.

"Hey Tk, I saved a seat for ya," Kari waved happily at her friend. "So how was your summer?"

"It was great!" Tk answered. "Oh yeah, I found this cool golden box, I'll show you during break."

The first bell rung and the teacher, Ms. Lao, came in. As she walked in, everyone quieted down; afraid they would get in trouble on the first day of school.

"Hello class, I am Ms. Lao. I will be your astronomy teacher for this semester," the teacher begun. "I hope everyone's he-"

"Sorry I'm late, teach!" Davis rudely interrupted as he opened the door. He was panting and sweat was trickling down his face. He obviously woke up late.

"It's nice to know you finally showed up, Mr…. Mr… What is your name?" Ms. Lao asked.

"It's Motamiya. Daisuke Motamiya, but you can call me Davis," he replied.

"Well then, Mr Motamiya, please take your seat!" she said angrily.

He ran to the back and took a seat behind Kari. Over the two years, Tk and Davis have grown out of their rivalry and have become friends.

"What happened," Kari whispered.

"Nothing, just overslept," he answered.

"You should tr-"

"Be quiet!" The teach demanded.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Lunch, my favourite class of the day!" Davis yelled in anticipation of his big lunch. "I wonder what's the special today?"

"Just make you sure you have enough money, Davis," Tk said while checking his wallet. Both Davis and Tk bought pasta, a coke, and a small chocolate bar.

They were chatting to themselves them Miyako, a.k.a. Yolei, waved them over. They obliged and they rushed to the table Yolei was currently sitting at. As soon as they arrived, Kari came with her lunch in hand. A sloppy Joe and a coke.

At about 20 minutes in their lunch period, when their food was long gone, Tk decided to show the group his box.

"Hey guys, I found this cool looking box today in the morning, wanna see it?" Tk asked.

"Sure!" Yolei said.

"Careful it might not be an evil Digimon trying to escape from its prison!" Davis joked.

Tk hesitated for a moment because he never thought of that. Maybe it was an evil Digimon who was about to escape once he finished the puzzle.

"Hey Tk, I was only joking!" Davis apologized. "C'mon man, show it to us!"

Tk reached into his book bag and slowly pulled out the shining golden box. It shimmered in the sunlight, making it hard to look at. Realizing the situation, Tk moved the box out of the sunlight. He reached out and opened it.

"Wow… So pretty!" Yolei commented.

"Yeah, I know, I'm going to solve it!" Tk said proudly. "I could use some help, you know?"

"Sorry Tk, I have a date with Ken," Yolei said.

"I got soccer practice," Davis replied. "Sorry bud."

"I'll help, I got nothing to do today," Kari said with a smile. "I'll come by your house at 6:00 to do homework first, and then we'll work on the puzzle!"

"Great!" Tk agreed.


Davis tried not to show any of the bruises of scrapes that he had. A week ago, he made a pass at his crush. Unfortunately, her big and brawny "boyfriend" saw and began to beat Davis. Oihsu, the "boyfriend", warned Davis to never hang around with her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The clock on the wall read 7:30. It took them 90 minutes to finish all their homework and they were about to get ready to get cracking on the puzzle.

"C'mon, let's work on it now," Kari pleaded.

"Alright, alright," Tk gave in while pulling the gold box out. "I'm still wondering what the hieroglyphs mean."

"Well whatever, let's get working on it," Kari said while attempting to put two pieces together.

Kari was having no such luck at all trying to put the pieces together. Piece after piece, they would not go together. The luck was all on Tk. He was having no problem solving where goes where.

"Ohh, I get it! After you put this piece in, you twist it around and THIS piece goes in," Tk said while putting more and more pieces in.

"How come you got so much luck in putting them together, I didn't even connect two pieces!" Kari complained.

Tk simply laughed. "I guess I'm supposed to solve this myself."

"Well I have to go now, it's 9:00," Kari said while packing up.

"I guess I'll have to finish this myself," Tk concluded.

"I guess so, bye!" Kari waved.

"Bye," Tk answered.

He begun to work on the puzzle until he felt sleepy, which was around 11:00. Since he continued the puzzle, he was about half way done.

"I wonder why it's so easy for me to work on it, but it's so hard for Kari," Tk wondered.

He emptied the box and marveled at the pieces. The one he noticed most was an eye. The Eye of Anubis. He guessed it would be the last piece to go on.

Man, I'm so excited! It almost looks like a pyramid, He thought while readying himself for bed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Man, that was a slow day," Tk complained while walking out the front doors. He was about to walk home when he heard screams. He recognized Davis' voice and he quickly ran to the source.

As he rounded the corner, he could see the thug, Oihsu punching Davis repeatedly. Laura was pleading with Oihsu to stop beating him.


"Hey! Stop that!" Tk yelled while tackling the bigger man to the ground.

"You just made a BIG mistake!" Oihsu threateningly yelled.

"Tk…. Stop…. Don't get… Involved," Davis managed to say while coughing a little blood.

"Stop hitting Davis!" Tk pleaded.

"I'll stop hitting him….. I'm going to hit you instead!" Oihsu punched Tk in the face, knocking him to the floor.

He proceeded to knee him into the stomach, making Tk keel over in pain. Oihsu kicked him in the leg, causing more pain. He lifted Tk up into the air and punched him to the floor.

"Ha… You better give me 200,00 yen (A/N: I'm using yen for this part because I don't know how to convert into CAN dollars), or else I'll cause more pain with this--" Oihsu said while taking out a small knife.

He walked off laughing.

"Tk… If you hadn't talked… You wouldn't… Be involved," Davis said. "It's my… Problem."

"Heh… You're my friend, D-Davis, that's why I did it," Tk replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ouuch! It huurts," Tk whined while holding his sides. "Man, only 1,666 yen. How am I ever going to get 200,000? What should I do… If I don't pay, he'll beat me up again."

Tk sub-consciously proceeded to build the puzzle. "Ah! What am I doing working on a puzzle? This isn't the time for that," Tk said. "But I can't think of anything to do… Working on a puzzle at least makes me feel better."

He grabbed another piece from the box and attached it, not knowing if it would work. "Ah! It went in… I guess I have to give this piece a half turn… Then this piece goes it."

"Strange, solving the puzzle is easy today… Even though I feel awful." He proceeded to attach more and more pieces, faster and faster."

He finished it! All he had to do was one more piece. The Eye of Anubis piece.

"I… I… I did it!?" He stuttered. "When I fit the last part in, it's done! It's gone… It's gone! The last piece isn't there…! Gone…!"

"W-where is it? I must have dropped it somewhere… No way… IT'S GONE!!" He said sadly. "The puzzle… The puzzle… I"LL NEVER GET MY WISH!!"

"Tk… Hey! You're almost finished your puzzle!" Tk's mom, Nancy, said while walking in.

"No… I couldn't finish it," Tk sadly replied.

"Let's see… Tk… You've poured your heart into this puzzle. You should have more faith!" Nancy said mischievously.

"Huh…?" Tk asked bewildered.

"Ta da!" Nancy shouted, revealing the final piece.

"M-Mom? Oh…. THANK YOU!! YOU FOUND IT FOR ME!" Tk thanked.

"Tk… You should be more careful where you put your stuff," Nancy lectured. "By the way…. You're friend Davis came by. I was worried about the bruises on your face, but… He told me a thug called Oihsu is threatening you two. Tk… The money is in your bag. If this can help you stay out of trouble… Good night, Tk."

"Thank you, mom. Good night," Tk replied. I'm finally going to complete the Millenium Puzzle! Thank god I searched for translations on the hieroglyphs!

The Eye of Anubis on the puzzle began to glow an eerie green and it shot fourth onto Tk's forehead.

"Ho ho… I think that thug, Oihsu, might be the one getting in trouble…" A voice much like Tk's, but deeper, said.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I can't believe that Tk called me out…! And to the school at midnight… Hn," Oihsu said to himself while walking towards the school grounds.

"Thanks for coming, Oihsu…" Yami Tk said while perched on a high bench. He was holding his Millenium Puzzle and had a sadistic smile.

"Tk…! Well, I gotta hand it to you! I can tell you're going to be a good boy and give me the money like I asked. Don't like that weird costume… But that's okay!" Oihsu demanded. "Hand it over now… The cash! The money! 200,00 YEN!"

"It's right here…" Yami Tk said while holding the cash up with his right hand. "And I've raised it to 400,000…"

"400,000 yen!" Oihsu said with a smile.

"But this much money… It wouldn't be any fun to just hand it over… so…" Yami Tk began, his smirk growing wider. "How about you play a game with me!"

"A game…?" Oihsu pondered.

"Right… Not just any game… A Shadow Game!" Yami Tk yelled. "How about it? If you win, you get more than 200,000 yen! Not bad, huh?"

"We need just one tool to play this game," he continued. "That knife you've got hidden, Oihsu!"

"Heh," Oihsu grunted while taking it out.

"Okay, everything's prepared!" Yami Tk announced.

Money and a knife…?" Oihsu wondered. What game can we play with these…

"I'll explain the rules," Yami Tk said. "The players take turns putting the money on top of their hand and stabbing it with the knife. The player keeps only the money that the knife stabs, and he must always take more than one bill."

"The game continues until the last bill is gone! The challenge is to take as much money as possible," Yami Tk explained. "If a player tries to take the money by hand, or quit the game in the middle, he loses and forfeits all of his money to the opponent."

"Doesn't that sound interesting," Yami Tk said mischievously.

"Heh… Heh… Heh…" Oihsu said with hesitation. "Huh! It's just a test of courage..." I-is this really Tk…?

"If you break the rules, as punishment the penalty game decides your fate!" Yami Tk said, his smirk growing.

"Heh heh… Interesting…" Oihsu said with nervousness. "Let's get started then!"

"We'll Ro-Sham-Bo for it…" Yami Tk began.

"Paper!" "Rock!"

"Then I'll start," Yami Tk said, taking the money and the knife.

"D-damn," Oihsu stuttered.

Yami Tk carefully lifted his hand, measuring how much power he should use. He only got 6 bills.

"I didn't even get ten bills…" Yami Tk said. "I thought I'd put my strength in it, but they're not easy to stab… Okay, you're turn"

Yami Tk handed over the knife to Oihsu, who looked nervous about the whole ordeal.

"If you use too much strength you'll stab yourself. The point of this game is to control your greed," Yami Tk explained.

"SHUT YOUR TRAP!" Oihsu demanded. He struck down with a little more force than he planned too. Fortunately, he got a lot of money. "Heh… Heh heh… Look! Over 100,000 yen! And not a mark on my hand! I should've stabbed harder!"

"Not bad! But it gets harder to control your strength with each turn," Yami Tk calmly said while stabbing the money. "Not much left… This game is almost over!"

There's nothing to this game, he thought. "The rest of the money is mine!"

Oihsu's right arm began to feel like it was disconnected. He felt as if he was going to use too much power, and he was.

"M-my arm… I can't relax my right arm…!" Oihsu stuttered. "What's wrong… I'm using too much strength! My right arm isn't listening to my brain! This is bad… My right arm is trying to swing down with all its strength!! I'm aiming for the money and my left hand together!"

"In the Shadow Games, a person's true nature is revealed to decide their fate! Oihsu! Your right arm is controlled by your own greed. You can no longer stop it! What will you do? Sacrifice your left hand to get the money, or…" Yami Tk said evilly.

"Heh heh heh… The answer is simple! There is a way I take a stab, without hurting my left hand and getting all of the money!" He yelled. "You let me hold this knife! That's why YOU lose! DIE TK!"

As Oihsu swung down hard, Yami Tk made an incredible leap high into the air, his Millenium Puzzle glistening off the pale moonlight.

"Just as I thought, you weren't able to follow the rules after all!" Yami Tk yelled, the Eye of Anubis glowing brightly in the dark night.

"W-what the… His forehead… That eye!" Oihsu said, obviously scared.

"This is only seen by those who "trespass in my soul!" Yami Tk began. "Like those who hurt my friends and try to steal my money!"

"PENALTY GAME!!! THE ILLUSION OF AVARICE!" Yami Tk yelled, pointing his palm at Oihsu.

"Money…. Money! OH MY GOD! IT'S MONEY!" Oihsu began to uncontrollably yell. "Money! There's money everywhere!"

"They say that money can make your head spin but… Now the only thing in his head is The Illusion of Avarice!" Yami Tk said while walking away."

"Yahoo! Money! It's all mine!" Oihsu still yelled.

"For as greedy as you are, this might be a happy end for you," Yami Tk said. "And I've gotten all my money back…"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ahhh!" Tk yelled while waking up from a dream. "Oihsu? Oh, phew, it was all a dream. It couldn't have been real…"

Tk looked at his bedpost, to where his newly assembled Millenium Puzzle hung. Tk promptly fell back to sleep, forgetting all about that "nightmare".

No, Tk, it was not a dream. For I, am now one of you. I will protect you, aibou, Yami Tk said to a sleeping Tk.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Davis! You're all right! Thank god!" Tk greeted his friend.

"Thanks Tk… For sticking up for me," Davis thanked.

"Hey, what are friends for?" Tk joked. "Wanna go make a few rounds in the Digital World after school with the others?"

"Sure," Davis agreed.

The End
