Chapter One

~ A Fair Warning ~

Yugi awoke with a start from his not so restful sleep. His usual tan skin had gone a milk white color and his whole body was drenched in ice cold sweat. Breathing heavily, the teenager glanced over at his clock. It read in its bright crimson numbers, '3am.'

Gulping harshly to force the lump in his throat to go down, Yugi placing his damp brow into his hands. "What was that?" He questioned into the darkness. Moving his fingers through his beautiful violet and blond hair, Yugi still felt a bit shaken.

For the past three nights, the young duelist had started having the strangest dreams. He stood in a strange palace like room. The walls were solid gold with tiny foreign markings carved and melded into it. Tall towers of gold supported the massive ceiling which, too, had beautiful pieces of artwork painted on it. In front of him, there stood a massive throne and alter that seemed prepared for an ancient ritual of some sort. Then, two cloaked figures appeared on either side of the prayer table within the blink of an eye, if not quicker. One seemed to be a woman and the other a man. As they prepared the service, a familiar voice asked them, "Are we almost ready to begin the duel?"

"Yes pharaoh. Soon you will be able to duel with Lord Seto." The woman explained.

"Lord Yugioh, the duelists are all gathering to watch your match. What should we do?" The man inquired.

Stepping from the shadows, the figure of Yugi dressed as an ancient pharaoh of Egypt appeared. "Let them come to see the plants aline over the great pyramids and to see the King of Games be determined.

Yugi shook his head to try to rid himself of the memories of the dream. Every time he saw those images, it made him feel sick to his stomach. His head felt like it was under water and he was trying desperately to gather air but it didn't work.

"What do those dreams mean?" He asked himself quietly.

Lying back down under his sheets, Yugi couldn't help but glance over at the millennium puzzle that sat next to him on his end table. The gold necklace seemed to shimmer in the light of the street lamps outside the store. "He looked just like me. I wonder…" But he couldn't finish his thoughts, for as soon as he placed his head back onto his pillow; Yugi fell instantly back to sleep.

"Yugi? Yugi! Wake up, you lazy boy. You don't want to miss your trip now do you?" Grandpa Mutou's voice shouted up the stairs and into the room of his grandson. It was now seven in the morning and Yugi had a flight to catch in an hour.

Shooting up into an upright position, the young teen let his eyes widen at the time on his clock. "ACK! Why did I have to sleep in? Today of all days!"

Leaping from his bed, Yugi rushed himself into his school uniform: black tank top, white button-down shirt, blue jacket and blue pants with his sneakers. He then went to his bedside and grabbed the millennium puzzle. While placing that around his neck, the young duelist grabbed his cards, suitcase, and backpack and ran out the door and towards the kitchen.

Yugi's grandfather sat calmly at the table sipping a cup of tea lightly. He knew that his grandson was easily over rushed. That was just his nature. The old man always thought it best for Yugi to learn from experience. That's why he let him duel in competitions. The taste of what life had to offer was what he was hoping to teach his grandson.

Glancing up from his mug, Grandpa was just in time to see his grandson slid into the kitchen, with suitcase and backpack in hand. "Why did you let me sleep so late?" The boy inquired as he tried to catch his breath.

"You need to learn to set your alarm louder." The man simply stated taking another sip of his coffee.

Raising an eyebrow, Yugi simply shrugged and reverted back to his belongs. "I thought I had it high enough." He muttered as he checked over everything to make sure it was all there.

Clearing his throat slightly, Grandpa Mutou smiled slyly. "You also need to learn when to talk about when you have nightmares that cause you to wake up in the middle of the night."

Freezing in his spot, Yugi stared up at his guardian. "How did you—"

"I heard you yelp in your sleep as I was getting a drink." The man explained as he saw his grandson turn a light pink. Watching as Yugi tried to find the right words to explain what had happened, he simply laughed. "It's alright Yugi. It is normal for some people to have those kinds of dreams. Especially now."

"Why now?" Yugi found himself asking.

Standing from the table, the old man grabbed the morning paper. Folding it so that it showed the banner headline clearly, he let Yugi read it aloud.

"Planets Aline For First Time in 5,000 Years." His eyes widening with curiosity, Yugi continued to read on. "In six days, the planet earth will become part of an event that hasn't occurred since ancient times. On Sunday, June 16th, the planets of the solar system will aline in a completely straight line creating a complete systemary eclipse to occur. The Earth will become completely shadowed for the time of one hour…'

"I still don't understand what that has to do with dreams I have." Yugi admitted sheepishly.

Laughing lightly, Mutou placed a hand onto the teen's head. "Some people are sensitive to the stars and the ancient ways of the planets. Therefore, when planets aline, they start to experience strange dreams or visions." He explained. "And since you're the barer of the Millennium Puzzle, you are extremely sensitive to the stars."

"I think I get it." Yugi said flatly but then became questionable. "But what does that have to do with the puzzle?"

Glancing up at the clock, Grandpa suddenly gulped. "I'll tell you when you come home. But right now, we need to get you to the airport."

Yugi and his Grandfather drove to Tokyo International Airport without hitting any of the early morning traffic. They made it with twenty minutes to spare before Yugi's flight was set to depart. This gave them time to put Yugi's things onto the luggage belt and say their goodbyes.

When they reached the terminal, Yugi smiled at his grandfather. "Well, this is it. I'll take some great pictures for you." He said happily.

"Yugi," Mutou stated in a serious tone, causing Yugi to become stern as well. "I want you to be careful and keep an eye on your Millennium Puzzle. With the alignment approaching fast, people will be acting strangely."

Smiling, the young duelist nodded. "I'll be careful." Then, giving a quick hug to his guardian, Yugi ran off down the terminal and towards the gate.

"Yugi…if only you really knew what is waiting for you. If only…" Grandpa Mutou thought to himself as his grandson vanished from sight.
