Chapter 1:

Introduction and the life of Yugi Mouto:

8 years had passed, since Atemu's passing into the afterlife. Since the famous tomb robber was suck into the afterlife, though one is not so sure where he ended up.

Since the defeat of the Malik's dark side by Yugi and the Pharaoh back in Battle City.

But what if, for some unknown reason these three had return?

If they do end up returning to their lights, things will surely be different. Due to Yugi, Ryou, and Malik independence from their dark sides, they decided it was time to move on. Living on without their yamis was hard especially for Yugi due to his close relationship with Atemu.

Even though the relationship between Ryou and his dark side wasn't the best, the white hair light misses his yami and there has not been a passing day where he doesn't think about the thief.

Malik however, was glade that his dark side was gone but deep down he questioned this feeling. Since after all, how can light survive or be whole without darkness. Two halves of the same coin, one would say.

Though, how one may look at this, the three lights had moved on; each growing up into respectable adults and raising a family.

Yes, if Atemu, Bakura, and Mariku have return, everything they have come to know would be different. And it will take time to get use to these changes, whether it is for the best or worst. However, something evil is awaiting its chance to return to Earth and finish what it had started 6,000 years ago.

Three years before the birth of the Pharaoh Atemu and Thief King Bakura.

Before the story begins, it will be wise to inform you, my dear readers, of the life changes that our three favorite lights had endured.

First of all, let me tell you about Yugi Mouto, who was once the vessel of the pharaoh Atemu or Atem for short.

After graduating from college, the young, tri color spike teenager, went away to Domino University where he had graduated with his bachelors in Ancient history (go figure right).

Due to the passing of his grandfather, his time was preoccupied with running the game shop. And yes, in case you were wondering, the boy did grow, being now 5'8.

When he was 25, he met a young woman who was a year younger name Megumi Hitoshi.

The two met at a supermarket, and ended up falling for one another.

This surprised everyone because they'd always thought that maybe Anzu and Yugi would end up together, but sadly that was not the case. Anzu had left to go to American to become a famous dancer and there she met her future husband.

But, that is not important right now.

So, after dating for 3 years, Yugi and Magumi ended up getting married and a year later had a baby girl name Bree. She had brown hair with purple eyes, with the same personality as her father, sweet, innocent, and good hearted.

Yugi loved his daughter more than life itself and had wondered if Atemu was there, what he would think of Yugi's daughter or better yet his wife.

But, deep down he knew that the Pharaoh would be happy for his light and would accept, hopefully these changes.

Yugi had told Megumi and Bree, when the girl was older, about the ex-spirit of the puzzle and the adventures he had endured during his teenage years.

Megumi was a little skeptical about the whole sprit and millennium items topics, but Bree was fascinated. She had hoped that one day; she will meet this Atemu person since he had obviously played a big part in her father's teenage life.
