4 Years Later

Now Yami was sixteen and he was a different person. He was still short, but he was a great deal more handsome. He was more serious and was a great duelist. Usually, he wore a millennium band, which was not an item, but merely a headband with the millennium symbol in the middle.

Dark Magician Girl seemed to get pretty ever second as she grew. Also. She got more power, which is not a concern now. Dark Magician stayed the same.trustworthy, patient, and wise all his life. One day Yami was sitting outside of the Magician's room, looking through his deck. Then he heard something that he never suspected. Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl were in love!

Ten minutes later they came out. 'Hey Yami. How long have you been here?" Dark Magician Girl asked. "A while. But-" None would ever know what he was going to say. Because at that exact moment, the pharaoh yelled "YAMI!"

Yami immediately went to his father's office. The pharaoh was looking quite tired. "Yami, I understand that now you are old enough to become a pharaoh. I am stepping down, so that you can be a pharaoh." Yami collapsed into one of the chairs and stared out the window. When he was 12, this was his dream. But, now, it was his nightmare.

Yami didn't want to leave DM and DMG. He didn't want to be the ruler. He wanted to spend his life at free will. He rubbed one his puzzle like he always did to show deep thought. At last, rather crosly, he said, "Fine. But just so you know this isn't my choice." The pharoah smiled and replied not as he went to get the headband.

"I not sure if this is a good idea," Dark Magician Girl whispered. It was late at night. Dark Magician was almost petting her, but much gentlier than you would a cat. "I am sure he will do well," Dark Magician said, kissing her goodnight.

The next mornig, the castle was under attack by Heishen. Of course, he got his hands on Yami first. He got the three of them. Dark Magician Girl squimed around tiring to break loose. Before Heishen planned his speech, he turned to Dark Magician Girl and cast a spell on her and sent her flying to the wall, where she lay horribly still.

Yami hung his head. Crying silent tears, he wanted to kick himself for not doing anything. Dark Magician also felt helpless. He knew what was going to happen. He moght have to perform a big solo spell. So, he started chanted Mumbo Jumbo crap inside his head, just in case.

While Heishen was blabbing about this and that, Yami had an idea. It wasn't a good one, but it was an idea. He was going to shatter the puzzle. When Heishen finally got to the part where Yami was supposed to give him either the puzzle or his life, he slowly brought the puzzle over his head. Instead of handing the puzzle to Heishen greedy hands, he stuck his tounge out and hit the puzzle against the ground.

When Yami woke up, he was extremely confused. He expected to see Heishen. But instead, he saw DM and DMG. When Dark Magician Girl saw him, she kissed him and told him without using words, we are in the puzzle. Someday, someone will solve it. Until then, sleep, my sweet pharaoh. Sleep.
