On a bright sunny May Saturday afternoon, our favorite gang were walking at Domino Park along with Yami Atem. The kids were running and laughing and the parents looking out for the kids. Birds were chirping happily and several other teenagers were either making out behind some trees or pulling pranks on each other for a laugh.
"So Tea, are you ready for your test on Monday?" Yugi asked his female friend who was talking to Yami at the moment.
"Yeah, I'm ready for that math test Yugi. How about you?"
"Me too. How about you three?" Yugi asks Tristan, Joey and Yami who now were looking at Yugi.
"I'm ready for that test aibou" Yami replies to his 'other self'.
"Me? I don't know. I just know I will fail" Joey tells him.
"I feel the same way" Tristan agrees with the blonde.
"Have you studied?" Yami asked them both.
"No. Why bother studying when I know I will fail?" Joey tells him.
"How could you say that? You don't know Joey if you're going to pass or fail. You might surprise yourself with a passing grade" Yami replies.
"I don't know. I'll study later; I don't want to think about school right now. Besides I don't want to spend a beautiful day like today facing math problems on a textbook" Joey tells Yami.
"Okay" was Yami's reply.
Unknown to the gang, a stranger was behind a thick tree, listening to their conversation.
'Those kids. I fucking hate the teenagers. Reading this spell on one of them will at least ease some of the hate I have towards them. And the unfortunate one that will suffer because of the spell will be Yami Atem' the stranger thought to himself, carrying a large book in his hands. The stranger was wearing an unusual looking robe that touched the floor and the hood was covering his eyes. People nearby were looking at him strangely and some were talking among each other, saying from "Who's that guy" to "He's weird looking". The stranger paid no attention to the stares and comments he was getting his way.
'Sure, I may be out of place with this outfit, but who cares'.
The stranger continued looking at the gang with hate in his eyes, preparing for the right moment to cast his spell on the ex-pharaoh.
When he sees that they began walking again, the stranger left his spot and quietly began walking behind the 5 teenagers.
'I have to be careful so that they don't suspect that something is going their way' the stranger kept thinking and opened up his heavy book to a spell, a spell that turns a person into a chibi.
He sighed and started the spell with a weird chant.
The day the gods and the goddesses bore the parents of the people, my heart cried.
Gods above the heavens, please hear my cry. The kids and their kids are corrupt.
To start anew, the people must be reborn again.
The world must be pure from the danger we face again and again.
Pain is everywhere.
We need your protection.
Protect us from further danger and pain.
God Unis and Godess Asthry, parents of all of us.
Look down at your generations of children.
Spare us from further suffering.
Start with a child.
Save his soul.
Before it's too late
Quickly, the stranger closed the book and looked up and saw that the spell worked on Yami. He was now a 3-year old chibi. The rest of the gang were now petrified, not knowing what just happened with Yami.
The 3-year old were staring straight back the friends with a happy look on his face.
"What just happened?" Tea broke the silence.
"I don't know Tea. I don't get it. Who did this to Yami?" Joey spoke up.
"I wish I knew the answer to that question Joey. I bet somebody did this. I have a feeling that somebody read a spell that made Yami into a chibi. Oh my god, what will Grandpa say about this?" Yugi desperately said throwing his hands up in the air in defeat.
"You have to tell him Yugi. I mean, he lives with you guys" Tristan declares with a frown.
"Oh my god. We have to get to the bottom of this" Yugi says also with a frown.
"Yeah, but first, who has a grudge against Yami? From there, we can narrow the list down" Tea tells the gang her brilliant idea.
"I don't think Yami has enemies, with the exceptions of Bakura, Kaiba and Marik. Other than those three, I can't think of any other people" Joey commented.
"I don't think Kaiba did anything. Besides, he doesn't believe in magic to begin with. Marik and Bakura are left. Let's go pay them a visit" Joey declares.
The gang agrees and Yugi grabbed Yami and holding him, the friends ran to Bakura's and Ryou's house.
Fortunately, they didn't live far from the park.
Knocking rather loudly and quick Joey was more mad than the rest of the teenagers.
A few moments later, Ryou opened the door and was surprised to see his friends there.
"Hi you guys. Come in" he says, not noticing Yami yet.
"Where Bakura?" was Joey question, not bothering to say hello to Ryou first.
"He's not here. He's at the store buying something" Ryou answered and noticed Yami being carried by Yugi.
"Y-Yami? Is that you? Did he got turned to a chibi?"
"So, you know, huh?" Tristan asks Ryou.
"If you're all thinking Bakura was behind this, then I have to break it to you. He wasn't behind this transformation of Yami. Even though Bakura isn't very fond of Yami, Bakura wouldn't do such a thing to Yami. Have you asked Marik yet?"
"No, and we are going to find out soon" Yugi tells Ryou.
"Okay, good luck you guys".
The gang left Ryou's residence with a worried look on their faces.
Yami, not knowing what is happening, began laughing.
Joey noticed first and told Yugi, "Can I hold Yami for a while Yugi?"
"Sure Joey." And he passed Yami to Joey's waiting open arms.
Yami snuggled comfortably on Joey's shoulder and began sucking his thumb.
"It's funny that even though Yami is reserved and serious most of the time, he's acting like an actual 3-year old Yugi" Tristan says between laughs.
"I know, it's weird. Might as well let him act like the 3-year old he is, while we find the person behind the spell" Yugi says.
"To Marik's house" Tea declares and all went to the Ishtar's residence.
