Chapter One

Six Years Later

Yugioh looked out his window. The sun was setting, coloring the sky a reddish- purplish color. It reminded him of a day that happen six years ago. Six years ago he saw a girl who reminded him of himself. Six years ago was the last time he ever had freedom. Now he was eighteen and the ruler of a rather large nation. It was a big task handed to him six years ago. And it surprised him and others that he didn't break from the stress already. After all he was handed the crown to a nation at the age of twelve. He can't even remember the last time he had a chance to relax. From running the kingdom, to doing paper work, to being called on the stop someone from abusing the Shadow Realm and sending their soul to the darker parts of the Shadow Realm to wander for an eternity. He didn't like doing that but he had to. It was his duty after all.

"Your highness," said a servant running into the room. He bowed and continued, "They need you in the city. Someone is trying to open a portal again."

Yami sighed. He dismissed the servant and got up. This was one thing he wished someone else would do. But then again it was his duty and he was also the one with the powers strong enough to actually perform the spell beside his somewhat best friend and high priest Seto. Taking look outside again Yugioh wonder if he'll _ever_ get a day of rest or at least a break from being ruler. He kinda prayed that something exciting would happen. He looked at a star and wished upon it. But be careful what you wish for, Yugioh, for sometimes wishes DO come true you know.

~*~ Somewhere in the desert

Yugi looked at the stars as they started to come out. He sighed and remember the days where he was just a boy of eight years old playing and trying to help his grandfather and sister. That was six years ago, six long years ago. Six years ago he was capture by Bakura's gang was part of their "servants" or rather slaves. He was the only one beside another boy name Joey. Like Yugi he was snatched from his family. The blond hair boy was fun to hang around with. Joey was the only thing keeping Yugi sane in this place. It was nights like this Yugi wondered what happened to his sister and grandfather. He wondered if his grandfather was still alive as well as if his family knew he was still alive and were looking for him. He doubted it for it for now. It had been six long years and he wasn't ever sure that his family knew he alive. He surprised himself that he managed to survive the beatings that Bakura gave him almost every night.

"Hey Yugi," said someone coming up behind Yugi.

Yugi knew who it was. It was the only person here in the camp that talked kindly to him, Joey. "Hey Joey," he replied. Joey gave him a grin and sat down next to him. The chains attached to his feet to keep him from running clicked together.

"Thinking about them again," Joey asked.

Yugi nodded. "I can't help but think that one day I'll see my sister again."

"Me too."

Yugi looked back at the star he was staring at. He wished the someday he'll see his sister again. But like Yugioh, Yugi needs to be careful for what he wishes for. After all wishes seem to be coming true tonight.

~*~ Back at the Palace

Hoshi nearly screamed in pain. Instead she bit on her lip in till it too bled. *I should be used to this,* she thought, *after all its only been happening to me for the past six years.* Hoshi let out a small scream as a whip came down on her again. What seemed like days the beating finally stopped. Hoshi manage to bring herself to a sitting position before she was kicked again. Hoshi hit the floor again. She grimed as she held back the pain. She looked at her master. Lucky for her he was putting away the whip. Looks like the beatings for tonight were done. Her master was the head cook of the palace. She just helped around in some places of the kitchen. Her master seems to make it a habit to beat her every night for the past six years. Once again she manage to pull herself to a sitting position, tears began to run down her dirt-stained face. Her whole body ached as her blood dripped down from her wounds. Nothing too serious. Hoshi winced at the pain though she was pretty much use to it by now. After her brother was capture by Bakura's gang their grandfather had died. The illness finally claimed him and his soul was send to Anbuis (sp?) the god of the under world. The twelve-year-old girl didn't know how much more she could take. In a few day she lose the two people who meant the whole world to her. Shortly after that she was capture and was sold to the palace as a slave. For the past six years she was the head cook's, Emiler, slave. Everyday he gave her a beating and amazingly survived each and every beating. But her beatings didn't stop there. Some time after she arrived at the palace a mysterious stranger took her during the night when everyone was asleep, to a strange place covered in darkness and also beat her there. That person said something about having her powers. That didn't do anything but confused her even more. She didn't have any powers. Only the royal family had powers right? She looked outside the small window that was in the room. Choosing a star she wished her life would get better. It just so happens that, that star is the very same that both Yugi and Yugioh had wish upon. As I said before wishes can be dangerous and can come true as well. And it happens that the gods of fate and love are going to make them come true starting from tonight.

Hoshi's thoughts were interrupted as the stranger from before appeared again in front of her. She whimpered as the stranger laughed evilly. Hoshi shut her eyes and prepared herself for a world of pain.

You're a fool if you haven't figure out that Yugi is Hoshi's little brother by now and if you pay attention to the story you would know that Yugi is now 14 and Hoshi and Yugioh or Yami are 18. Unless your math skills are off. Yugi won't be appearing too much in the story but he will show up once awhile. Please review! ^_^
