A Puzzle's soulPrologue:
Since when does a Puzzle do THIS!!??
Domino, Japan. 21.3.1995, 7.10.a.m.
It's morning. A shop's door opens and a rather short old man comes to sweep the front porch. Going back inside he yells out "Yugi! Time to wake up!"
Said girl has no intention to do that. Snuggling deeper into the pillows she ignores the voice and mutters about "evil forsaken mornings". The old man comes inside and takes the covers off and proceeds to opening the curtains.
"Young lady you only have half an hour to get to school"
"Let it start without me, I won't mind." /Sleep good, light bad/.
"Want me to fetch the cold water? I'm going to go and make breakfast you'd better be down in 5 minutes." / Sadistic old man/.
Rising similar to zombies the girl dresses up into her school uniform; a short skirt and, in her mind, an evil pink jacket. While going down she wonders if it would be possible to outlaw the school starting times until at least 11.
A normal morning in the Mutoh family.
Yugi Mutoh, 14-and-a-half-year old high school girl approaches quietly behind her grandfather. Waits until he sets down the plates then glomps him.
"Waah!"
"Good morning to you too oh Sugoruko Mutoh"
"You really should grow up".
"Literally or figuratively, I'm still shorter than you and considering how short you are...well you really can't be that mature..." "Feh! Teenagers!"
Yugi really is short and skinny; she could easily past for a 10-year old. Blonde spikes framed her face but he rest of her hair was black with red tips also spiked, she wears it in a ponytail. Large purple eyes completed the picture. She may not be a beauty her looks were unique.
"Breakfast, now! You'll be late. Anzu won't be waiting for you forever. Don't you have acrobatics after school?"
Sighing "Yep, and a calculus test too. At least I have the puzzle for fun mental activity, I'm almost done".
"The curse..."Grandpa mumbled.
"Nothing is going to happen grandpa, don't worry "/ Wish I really was so sure. Those words are probably going to come back to haunt me/.
After eating and saying a rather loud "Bye" she leaves running the road and meets Anzu. They go along their normal chatting and enter the classroom on time, for once. / The HELL room/
A rather boring school day goes normally with the test, homework and groaning. Only at recess something actually happens. Yugi takes the Puzzle out of her bagpack, the others go out; girls gossiping and the guys go play basketball. Only a few stays, two of them approach her. / Why is my world so predictable? Space aliens, come! /Unfortunately nothing happens.
/Jounouchi and Honda. Joy. / "What now", she asks, irritated.
"We just came by to watch what's in the box, it isn't illegal" Jounouchi sneers. / It should be/.
Yugi and Jounouchi have a complicated past; He teases and mocks her, she kicks him where the sun doesn't shine.
And reports the police about he bruises that his father dealt. It did put things out of balance; Jou doesn't deal well with apologising or gratitude. So he mocks her some more. And Honda doesn't let Jou mock people alone (and he thinks that he needs some help, since really, don't you need help against someone who threatens to break that?)
"It's an Egyptian puzzle. It's said to have the power once completed I can curse people with retribution magic." / One can dream/
"Retribution? What now?" Honda slaps his head. "Honestly"
"Karma. Seriously though, I've tried to solve it since I was 6. You'll die of the sound of my verbal attack if you hinder it somehow. Now run along Dumb and Dumber, go and chase squirrels or something."/Morons/.
"Bitch! I..." Grabbing Jou and dragging him away Honda says loudly "Yes, yes your Royal Highness we'll leave. Come on Jou" "WHAT? Why you".
/ Honestly, I'm glad I' not completely out of "boys are icky"-stage they are sooo immature/ Continues happily to work the puzzle.
Outside the classroom this continues to be proven "You nicked one, hah, way to go!" Jou snickers, "we'll throw it to the sewers!" Honda exclaims.
A shadow covers them; "You aren't disturbing the lady, are you"
"No! No, of course not" Ushio glares menacingly and leaves.
"I'll think I'll hang on to it we can just make her worry about it, just in case you know..." "yeah ", Honda sighs.
Later..
/All right I had fun at practise, now I'm hungry. After I eat I'll be on my way to solving the Millennium Puzzle. Finally/!
Yugi comes already out acrobatics practise. Ushio comes to her "hey Mutoh I wanna show you somethin'. /What was his name again, Oshio? /
"What is it" "I decided to become your bodyguard, I already made the first gig" / Doesn't sound too good/
"Eh, what" Yugi runs to the corner and sees Jou and Honda beaten up.
/ Gods, that sick bully/
"Why did you do that ?!! I don't need a bodyguard and I certainly don't need this! Leave them alone " Yugi is furious.
"Yugi, don't..He "Jou winces. /Now he decides he's on my side/?
"You will pay me 200,000 yen or your gonna get it" Then tries to slap her, Yugi dodges but gets kicked in the stomach. /Ouch/.
"Tomorrow you will pay!" Ushio shouts as a parting. /He has watched too many movies/.
Yugi glares at the two. "Well I hope your happy". Softens a bit "Can you make it back to your homes" She's worried, we did kinda deserve thisJou thinks. "Yeah, sure, you"?
"Oh bugger, I'm gone". Yugi runs back to the shop.
Coming home Grandpa gives her two newest booster packs for Duel Monsters. Yugi is a good player she can really hold her own in the game. Now she just shoves them in to the table at her room without looking.
After dealing with the scratches and changing into tight jeanshorts and a leather shirt Yugi starts to make the puzzle again. / Could have been worse/.
Click, crunch, clink
/Only two more then I'll get my wish; just a really good friend that I can really trust and who understands me /.
Clink "Eh, the last piece is gone! Oh, I can't deal with this. Gah!"
Knock, knock "Yugi"?
"Yeah, sniff". /More bad news/?
"Some boy came and dropped this off". And told me about Ushio and the bullying I'll sneak the money in her bag
"Thanks Grandpa"! "Thank the young lad". Grandpa closes the door.
/All right, my bad luck couldn't hold on forever!!!/
Clink /Cool! I've done it!!!/
The Puzzle starts to glow what seems to be a warm light. Yugi vanishes with a pop! Leaving the Millennium Puzzle behind.
Kuru Eruna, Egypt 3095 BC. 21.35 p.m.
A Light flashes and Yugi falls to the ground.
Silence.
She stands up and cautiously looks around.
Ruins of old houses.
And a few skeletons to add to the image!
No humans.
It's been a stressful day.
"ALL RIGHT??!! WHO THE HELL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS??? PUZZLES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE INTO GHOSTOWNS!! SOMEBODY IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!!!!"
Stress relief.
End of Prologue.
Reviews not necessary, if someone bothers. NO flames but criticism appreciated.
Next: Atem enters. Yugi gets herself into more trouble.
