Wow, I haven't written anything on this site for a long time, but I figured that I could let out some steam. I wanted to update my other stories, but the brain power is dead, so to refresh my mind and get back into the swing of things, I made this. Yet another Beauty and the Beast/Yugioh crossover. Very original, no? I don't own Yugioh!
Long ago, in a land far away, lived a prince named Atemu. He had everything and anything a prince could want: servants, a tall castle, and thousands of treasures. Even with all this, Atemu was still a selfish man, corrupt with greed, and owned an ice cold heart.
One night, however, an old begger woman knocked on his door, begging for shelter from the cold.
"If you shall let me in, I'll give you this golden puzzle," she told him. "Just let this poor old woman warm her bones, sir."
Atemu was too repulsed by her appearance and sneered, "A useless puzzle is all you offer? My forks are more valuable than that hunk of junk. Off with you, ugly hag."
The old woman warned him not to be deceived by appearances. "Beauty is found within, my prince."
"I said, off with you!" Atemu growled.
In a flash, the old woman's ugliness melted away, and revealed the beautiful enchantress, Kisara.
Gasping, the prince begged, "I didn't mean what I said! Please, give me another chance."
It was futile, though, for Kisara had seen there was no love in his heart.
"I shall curse you and your entire castle, until your lesson is learned," she declared as the prince was slowly transformed into a beast.
The once bright and glorious castle changed in an instant, to become nothing more than a horror house with black stone and cruel gargoyles replacing the innocent angels that once guarded the castle. Time had also ceased to continue, making no one able to age or escape their fate.
Aremu, repulsed by his appearance, concealed himself inside of his castle.
He even found himself unworthy of his name, and changed it to a more fitting one: Yami.
The only item he to the outside world was a magical mirror. The puzzle that Kisara had offered him, was in fact the millennium puzzle. It had assembled into a golden pyramid. It would slowly begin to disassemble itself, and by the time that its last piece would drop, the curse would be unbreakable.
There was a way to escape this fate, however. If Atemu could learn to love another and earn their love in return, then the spell would be broken, but if not...
As days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and months turned to years, he fell into a deep depression and lost all hope.
For what girl would ever learn to love a beast?
Yeah, pretty cheesy, but it's a start. This was originally a one shot, but it was way too long by the time I the main plot. Oh well, I predict this to be a three, maybe four chapter story. Unless you, the person reading this, wants it go on longer. Other than that, please review and tell me if I should continue or not!
