Do Not Own Yu-Gi-Oh
Secrets of The Millennium Puzzle
Chapter 1: Introdution to Yugi, Téa & Marik
The brown hair and blue eyes girl named Téa Gardner was hurrying to meet with Yugi Muto so they wouldn't be late for school. Her childhood best friend and secret crush. She found him to be cute and had a crush on him since forever. She first met Yugi in elementary school. She had been sitting alone since she had been new when he came over with a friendly warm smile. Téa had found him to cute even then. He gave her his handheld game console. She couldn't remember what it had been only that smashed it in frustration. Whatever the game was had been very engrossing but super hard. She had spent a few weeks with Yugi and the game before she destroyed it. Yugi wasn't mad surprisingly and he just brought her an easier game the day after. After this Yugi had been stuck with her. She was so lost in own thoughts that he crashed right into someone. She had crashed into Yugi's Grandfather who was sweeping outside his game shop, Kame Game. Téa immediately blurted out, "Sorry. I wasn't paying attention"
"It all right Téa." Yugi's Grandfather said not bothered by it as she had done it many times before, "Happens all the time. Anyway, Yugi still is upstairs in his room. I go and get him" Téa followed him into the shop that seemed to have been around as long as she had known Yugi. Only the interior has changed over the years as new games came out and old ones sold out. Yugi's Grandfather made his way upstairs as Téa waited by the counter.
Yugi Muto was inside his bedroom rushing to get ready for school before his only friend and secret crush arrived. Téa Gardner was the most beautiful girl Yugi had ever seen. They had become friends in elementary school. He had always been a loner and a target for bullies due to his passive nature and short height. He remembered seeing her for the first time and was pretty sure his crush was born. He gathered up his courage and approached her. He awkwardly gave her the handheld game console he had been holding. Somehow it worked and she took it. Granted she broke it in frustration but Yugi wasn't upset since it was on its way out anyway. During the week or two whist she had been playing they had ended up as friends. Téa did not notice that everyone then avoided her for hanging out with him and thus they were stuck with each other. She was his everything. His Grandfather knocked on his door and called out, "Yugi, Téa's here." Yugi made sure that The Millennium Puzzle was in its box He rushed downstairs excited to see Téa. She was beautiful as ever.
"Téa. I wasn't expecting you this early." Yugi said making her jump as she was starting at something in a glass container. He came over to see that it was the new Duel Monster cards his grandfather had ordered in since the game was apparently making a comeback.
"Well I was ready, so I came over. It not a bother is it." Téa stated before asking, "What are these?"
"No, it's never a bother when you visit." Yugi blurted out. He said looked at the display case containing trays of different cards, "I have no idea. They came in yesterday"
His Grandfather then answered her question appearing from the back, "They are Duel Monster Cards. It's a card game that I used to play many years ago. I have my own deck including so very good cars and everything. Apparently due to the reappearance of the game's creator Maximillion Pegasus, the game is making a comeback with a tournament and everything. Remind me to show you the game once you get back from school." He then shooed them out of the store. They headed towards Domino High School with Yugi wishing he has the courage to hold Téa's hand.
Elsewhere in Domino City, a blond hair Egyptian boy was also heading towards Domino High. Alongside him was a taller figure. The taller figure asked, "Are you sure it is here Master Marik?"
"Of course, I am sure Odion. The Millennium Puzzle is here in Domno." Marik said rather dark. "Once we find it then the power is mine. Once the power is mine then so too will the three Egyptian God cards." He then ordered "Remember Odion, call me Namu in public and that you will be referred to as Rashid. No one should know that we are here."
"Of course, Master Marik." Odion replied obediently.
"Now begone Odion and complete your tasks." Marik then ordered. "My bike is the top priority."
"I shall retrieve you bike and meet you here after school Master Marik" Odion stated turning to leave. Marik did not notice that he did not leave straight away as Odion glanced at Marik with a worried look before leaving to complete Marik's errands. Marik meanwhile was plotting his first move since after learning that The Millennium Puzzle had been found, Marik had rushed to Domino City without much of the plan. He wanted to stop The Pharaoh's return as it would be easier to seize The Pharaoh's power without him being there. Especially if the stories were true that The Pharaoh's soul was inside the puzzle. Even if it is not then Marik with still gain control of a second Millennium Item which will come in handy in tracking down the three Egyptian God cards his sister had hidden. Marik then determined that his best course of action is too keep into the background and not draw attention to himself while he determined the situation. He put on a charming smile and entered the school ground. Only to stop and realize that Odion still had all school stuff including the map. He cursed to himself and started walking in a random direction. He was annoyed at himself and not willing to ask for help so will brute force his way to the class room. He did not see Yugi and crashed right into him.
