A/n: Before we begin please don't get confuse with the Oc that will appear in this story. This Oc is based off of me, the author and my real name is Rebekah. As all Yu-gi-oh fans know their is a character within the anime named Rebecca as well, she's going to be replace by my Oc, however my Oc is way different than the Rebecca that appears in the anime. I'm sorry if some of you are fans but for the sake of this story and later on, she no longer exists.

Yami and Yugi: Both of us will be helping Author-chan with this story.

A/n: Now that's out of the way this will be a disclaimer for the rest of the story so I don't have to write it each chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh! all rights belong with Kazuki Takahashi, I only own my Oc and parts of the plot.

Chapter 1: The Puzzle of the Gods

Author's POV

A girl with red hair walked toward her new school, Domino High. The girl was 5'5 feet tall and as her green eyes scanned the area she smiled to herself as Domino City, Japan was a complete culture change and the scenery was very beautiful. From what she learned is that most of the all the schools within Japan had specific uniforms and she was wearing the one from Domino High. The girls uniform was a white shirt with a pink blazer around it. Near the collar of the white shirt was a blue bow and the skirt was also blue. The only thing the girl didn't like about the uniform was the skirt, it was too short.

Her name was Rebekah Schmitz and she came from America to Japan because of her father's job. Rebekah finally knocked on the door of her classroom 1-B, the teacher that was in a middle of the lesson walked over to the door and slid it open to reveal her smiling face. The teacher then wasn't so mad when he saw the girl, "Oh you must be the new student that I was told about. Please come in." The girl walked in and all the students talking among themselves saying things about her being the new student from America. The teacher quiet his students and smiled, "Class a new student is joining us today please make her feel welcome. Now please introduce yourself."

"Hello everyone my name is Rebekah Schmitz and my favorite thing to do is play games." The teacher smiled and told her thank-you and then made her sit next to a boy with tricolor hair. After awhile class ended and the boy turned toward and blushed slightly. Rebekah turned toward him to and smiled, "Hi there my name is Rebekah." The boy smiled back and introduce himself, "My name is Yugi Mutou and you said that you like to play games. To tell you the truth I love games as well and I was wondering if you would play with me."

Of course she agreed and besides she didn't want to leave Yugi all alone during their lunch break. After awhile they finished and some guys from their class asked Yugi to join them in a game of Basketball, they even asked Rebekah. Yugi looked at them and smiled slightly, "No thanks and besides the team I'm on will just lose anyway."

The boys nodded, "Yeah your right and what about you Rebekah." "Well I'm fine as well besides I don't want to leave Yugi all alone." Yugi just smiled she was one person who actually wanted to stay and play games with him. The boys just left and Rebekah just smiled at him, "So Yugi do you have anything else." Yugi looked at her and then reached into his book bag and brought out a box with Egyptian hieroglyphs on it. Rebekah looked at it and awed at it. "Wow that box looks really beautiful where did you get it Yugi."

Yugi looked at her and smiled, "Well you see my family runs a game store and one day I found it in the back on a shelf covered with dust so I took it." Before Yugi opened the box someone grabbed it from his hands, when the boy saw it was gone he looked up to see the person who taken it. His name was Honda Hiroto whose hair almost resembled a mullet, he was also with his friend Jonouchi Katsuya. Honda smirked at his friend, "What are you talking about Yugi this thing is just a piece of junk" he then threw it to Jonouchi, "He's right and just watching you makes me sick. If you want it back then give me all you got."

Yugi stood up and shook his head, "No I hate fighting please give that back." Rebekah also stood up, she couldn't stand bullies, "Yugi is right give him back that box. You have no right taking what's yours." Jonouchi just glared at her, "Watch it new girl I'm trying to teach Yugi how to be a man but since he isn't going to fight for it might as well see what's inside."

Yugi just about panic when the boy opened the box and took a quick peak it's a bunch of pieces almost reminds me of a puzzle he then threw the box toward Honda and just said that it was lame. As Honda was about to catch the box is when another hand caught it and a girl's voice was heard, "If you think it's lame then give back to Yugi" the boys saw that it was Anzu Mazaki and just left the scene.

Yugi smiled at her, "Thank-you so much Anzu" "Oh it was no problem Yugi" then the girl saw Rebekah, "Who's this?" "Anzu meet Rebekah she's a new student that arrived today and she also tried to help me when Honda and Jonouchi took my special box" Yugi told his childhood friend. Anzu smiled at the red head "Thank-you for trying to help Yugi sometimes he can be a bit of a handful" "It was no problem at all I consider Yugi my friend and that box is Yugi's so they took it without asking for his permission to see it."

The brunette just smiled, glad that someone other than her was willing to look out for Yugi plus Yugi has found someone who is a lot like, someone who just loves to play games. The three of them talked for awhile and soon parted ways when bell rang, however Rebekah decided to accompany Yugi and walk home with him after school. Like Yugi told her, his family runs a game store and she was curious what it was like and asked the boy before he left the classroom if she could this game store. Of course Yugi was more than willing to show her and the two talked about what games they like and what games they didn't like, in fact Yugi was started to really like Rebekah.

"Actually Rebekah my family just doesn't own that game store in fact I actually live there with my grandfather" Yugi told her. Rebekah just looked at him and smiled, "Really that's so cool Yugi I'm honestly a little jealous but I can wait to see what this store has..." however someone came up to them and stared at the two. "Are you Yugi and Rebekah?" The two nodded, "Well I'm Ushio and I'm the hall monitor of our dear school. Are you two by chance having bully problems." Yugi was the first one to speak, "No! Me nor Rebekah are having bullies now if you'll excuse us we're going home" Yugi then just grabbed Rebekah's hand and started to walk away not knowing what was going happen tomorrow.

-The next day-

As the next school day began Rebekah was just so happy, the girl found out yesterday that one of her new friends practically lives in his own game store and not only she saw what the said store looked liked, honestly she didn't live that far from Yugi. The red head wanted to tell Yugi right away that she lived close to him however before she could say anything again Ushio walked in their classroom and told her and Yugi to come to the back of the school. To both of their surprise was Jonouchi and Honda beat up against the wall, Ushio just smirked, "These two will no longer be a problem for you two and now you have to pay for my fees 5,000 yen."

Yugi on the other hand just shook his head, "No I never asked for this and I'm not going to pay your fees. These two were just trying to teach me how to be a man and I will no longer stand you hurting my friends." Rebekah smiled at that and joined him too, "Yugi is right if anything your the real bully Ushio blindly by your role as hall monitor." Ushio curses under his breath and grabbed Yugi by his collar and started to punch the poor boy, after the deed was done before Rebekah could go and actually check to see if he was okay the girl was grabbed by Ushio, "I expect you to bring the money tomorrow Yugi and if you don't I can't say for sure what will happen to this girl." Ushio then walked away carrying Rebekah over his shoulders and Yugi just staring in shock at the scene that just happened to him.

-Later that night-

Yugi just took his box out and started to put the pieces together, the boy didn't even know why he was trying to solve it today but for some reasons all the pieces just started connecting together until only one piece remain. The boy became so excited only to find out that it was gone until his grandpa told him not to give and that hope always finds a way and gave his grandson the last piece. As his grandpa the old man just smiled to himself as someone who was soaking wet told him that he was a friend of Yugi's and to give him that piece.

Finally Yugi place the last piece within his treasure only to find himself blacken out and the newcomer only just smirked. This mysterious person picked up the phone and called Ushio to come back toward the school and demanded that he bring Rebekah with him too. Ushio was at the school grounds holding Rebekah within his arms only to see 'Yugi' appear before them. "I got your call Yugi so I'm assuming you have my money" "I do in fact I doubled then amount to 10,000 yen but before I give this money there's just one thing I like to ask you, let Rebekah go." Ushio just smirked and shook his head no, he didn't trust Yugi so in stead hold the girl tighter causing her to feel some pain within her body.

'Yugi' knew he was going to say that and just smirked, "Fine then if you don't let her go how happen you and play a game: a shadow game." Ushio let's go of the girl he was holding and accepted the boys challenge only to find that this was no ordinary game. Just like he expecting him too 'Yugi' stood up and the eye of Horus appeared on his forehead, "Your blinded by your own greed and don't care for others thus resulting into your penalty game." After that was over 'Yugi' just watch as Ushio went off to the entrance of the school and started to mess with the leaves because the boy believed it was money.

Rebekah just stood in shock at the game she witness and the boy who stood before her, the girl could tell that this was not Yugi at all but someone who holds more confidence and much deeper voice. She became slightly frighten when the boy approached her but he just smiled, "Don't be afraid I won't hurt you." The boy then stood in front of her and was actually taller than her and Yugi combine, "Who are you?" "Just call me Yami" "Alright Yami and my name's Rebekah" "It's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl such as yourself." The girl just blushed slightly and Yami smiled more, "Did he hurt you in anyway?" She just shook her head no and Yami was relieved to hear that nothing happened at all, Yami then decided to walk Rebekah back to her home.

Before the girl went in Yami asked her to promise that she never tell Yugi about him yet, he wants the boy to figure out that their is someone else within his mind, body, and soul. Rebekah nodded, promising to him that she would never say anything. Yami loves how she was super kind and gentle, reminds him of a gentle soul, a gentle soul that he has to protect from ever getting hurt. "Well Rebekah this is where I'll leave and no I don't when you'll see me but I do know that we'll see each other it just may be awhile" and right before he left Yami gave a kiss on her forehead, a kiss on her hand, and then a light kiss on her lips promising to always be by her side. The girl just stood at her doorway with a super deep red blushing face not even knowing what the future truly had in store.

-The next day-

Just as she promised Rebekah didn't tell Yugi about Yami, but she held a slight red face anytime she would look at Yugi only because she knows that someone just as handsome and cute as Yugi is watching. She also noticed that Yugi doesn't even remember what happen either only thing that the boy truly remembers was that he officially finished the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi and Rebekah both walked to their class together only to have Jonouchi stopped them and thanked them for the other day, both Yugi and Rebekah knew that this was going to be a start of another friendship that will last a lifetime.
