Thanks for the reviews!!!! Now, on with the story!!
***** Japan, 4 years later *****
"But grandpa, I don't want to go to school!" shouted a nervous 5 year old boy. He stood there wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. His black and red hair stuck up in spikes, blond bangs falling down over violet eyes.
"It'll be Ok Yugi!" his grandpa said, "You will like kindergarten. You get to meet a bunch of new people and play games and..."
"But why can't I just stay here and play games with you?" Yugi asked, trying not to cry. They were standing in Grandpa's game shop, which was also his house in the back. Yugi was staying there while his parents were off on a business trip.
"It will be alright," Grandpa reassured. Judging by his face, Yugi was still not convinced. "Tell you what," Grandpa said, "I'll give you a present if you go."
"Really?" Yugi asked, his face brightening.
"Yes really," Grandpa said. He walked to his closet and pulled out a golden box with an eye symbol on it. "I wasn't going to give it to you until your birthday, but..."
"Oh what is it?" Yugi asked, excited.
"It's an ancient Egyptian box," Grandpa answered, "It was given to me on one of my journeys to Egypt, by a man wearing a white turban and a golden pendent around his neck."
"What's inside it?" Yugi's grandpa handed the box to him
"I don't know. I've never been able to...open...it..."
Yugi's grandpa stared at the box as it started to glow slightly. Focused on the box, he missed the brief second that the same eye symbol from the box appeared on his grandson's forehead. Then the top of the box opened.
"What is this?" Yugi asked in wonder holding up a strangely shaped piece of gold.
"I...I think it might be a puzzle of some sort," Grandpa said, examining a few more of the pieces within the box. "But you'll have to leave this at home Yugi. You might lose some of the pieces if you take it to school."
Yugi looked as if he might cry again. "I don't want to go to school!" he said for the second time, "I'm scared."
'Oh boy, not again,' Grandpa thought. Then he came up with a great idea. He searched around until he found what he was looking for.
"What is this?" Yugi asked as his grandpa handed it to him, "A Duel Monsters card?" Grandpa had been teaching him how to play this new game called Duel Monsters but Yugi had never owned any cards of his own.
"Not just any Duel Monsters card! This card will protect you when you go to school. It will be your guardian!"
Yugi flipped the card over. "Oh, it's the Dark Magician!" he said, excited.
This card was always his favorite. Even more now since lately he had been having strange dreams about Pyramids, Pharaohs, and Duel Monsters, especially the Dark Magician. He also felt like someone was calling to him. Someone with crimson eyes.
His grandpa told him that it was just his imagination and concluded that he should probably stop telling Yugi the stories of his travels right before Yugi went to bed.
"There now you can go to school," Grandpa said.
"Ok!" said Yugi, happily clutching his first Duel Monsters card ever.
When his grandpa finally dropped him off at kindergarten, he happily and confidently walked into the class.
"Be good Yugi!" Grandpa shouted as he left.
"I will!" said Yugi, waving until his grandpa walked out of the building.
He turned around to see that the class was filled with kids his age playing. Yugi walked up to a boy and girl who were playing with blocks. "Can I play too?" he asked.
"Sure!" the girl said, handing him a block. She had bright blue eyes and brown hair, and she wore a pink sundress and a pink hat to match. "My name is Tea Gardner!" she said happily, "What's yours?"
"Yugi Moto," he answered. "What's your name?" he asked the boy.
The boy wore a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt. He also had brown hair and blue eyes, but his eyes were darker and more focused on putting the last piece on the elaborate structure he was building with the blocks, and, at Yugi's question, his eyes lost their focus and the structure quickly fell apart. "NO!!!!!!!" he shouted.
"Sorry," Yugi said, looking at the ground.
The boy just glared at him, yelled in frustration, and walked away.
"That's Seto Kaiba," Tea said, "Don't worry Yugi, he's always like that."
"Oh," Yugi said, and they went back to playing with the blocks.
"Show and tell time!" the teacher said. All of the children sat in a circle and took turns showing off little things that they had.
"Seto Kaiba, why don't you show us what you have!" the teacher said.
"I can't," he said.
"Why not?"
"Cause it fell down," he said, briefly glaring at Yugi. Yugi gulped.
"Ok then you may sit down. Tea Gardner? You can go now!"
Tea stood up. "I wore my ballet shoes to school today for good luck! Aren't they pretty?"
"Very pretty," the teacher answered, "Yugi Moto, you can go next!"
He stood up and showed everyone his card. "This is the Dark Magician! He is my favorite monster in the Duel Monsters game and he's my guardian!" This got resulting ooos and ahs from the rest of the class, all except Kaiba.
"Very good," the teacher said, "Who's next?"
The rest of the school day went smoothly. When Yugi's grandpa picked him up, he asked, "How was school?"
"It was fun!" Yugi said, "Everyone loved Dark Magician!"
"That's great!" Grandpa said.
"Can I play with my puzzle when I get home?"
"Sure Yugi."
***** Ancient Egypt, 5 years after the birth of Prince Yugioh. *****
"But mother do I have to go?" Yami asked. His black and red hair stood up towards the sky as his blond bangs were blown in the desert wind, as well as his black robe. The 5 year old wasn't thrilled about going back to the shrine. Last time he was there, he "accidentally" broke one of the statues that he was playing near. Ok, on. But he didn't mean to make it fall. The priests, to say the least, were not happy.
"Yes," the queen said flatly.
"Today is the day you are supposed to get your guardian!" said his father.
"And you have to tell the priests about these dreams you have been having," his mother added.
"I don't remember them," the small prince lied. He knew he could remember them perfectly well.
"Oh, so you don't remember the dreams with the horseless chariots, rectangle pyramids, magic torches that don't give off smoke, and the boy with the crimson eyes," his father asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Violet," Yami said before he could stop himself.
"Hah! Now you're caught little prince," his mother said.
'They knew it was violet!' Yami realized, 'They were just playing with me!'
"Oh alright," he said. Regardless of his dislike of the priests, Yami also wanted to know the meaning of these dreams. He felt they were somehow important.
The High Mage Heishin walked up to the royal family and bowed. Only the prince, who stood on the ground, holding his mother's hand, could see the smile that crossed his face. The smile disturbed Yami.
"It is the day for the little prince to receive a guardian I presume," Heishin said, as he rose back up.
"Yes," the Pharaoh answered.
"Then follow me."
They all walked deep into the shrine until they came to a room filled with huge stone tablets. Each tablet had a monster carved onto it.
"As you know," Heishin stated, "all of the ancient monsters were locked away in stone tablets by a great Pharaoh long ago to stop the destruction of the world. But, sorcerers have learned how to release them. To combat this new threat, all of the Pharaohs from then on have received a guardian. Now it is your turn Prince Yugioh."
Heishin smiled again, sending horrible chills down Yami's spine. Heishin walked over to the 5 year old and bent down to his level, making Yami even more uncomfortable. "Whether you know it or not, little prince, you have a great power deep inside you. The way you receive a guardian is you have to summon it, using that power. Focus all of your energy and your guardian will come to you."
Heishin then stood up and walked away. Yami released his tensed muscles and tried to relax. He looked up at his father and the Pharaoh shook his head. They had been training for this since he was 3.
Yami closed his eyes and concentrated. He had to gather all of his energy and send it to the shadow realm in search of his guardian. Then the guardian would appear in this world and watch over him for the rest of his days.
The golden eye symbol appeared on his forehead once more as he concentrated harder. Then one of the many stone tablets started to shine, brighter and brighter. Until out of it stepped... the Dark Magician!
Yami smiled weakly at the purple robed being before falling to the ground. But he never hit. Before anyone else could react, the Dark Magician had caught the small boy and was now holding him in his arms, blue eyes daring anyone to try and hurt this sleeping child.
"Will you be a good guardian for my son?" the Pharaoh asked.
"Yes my Pharaoh," the Dark Magician answered quietly.
"We should probably get him to bed," the queen said. She held her arms out and the Dark Magician reluctantly handed Yami over to her. Then she turned to go, but stopped.
"Oh his dreams!" she said.
"What dreams?" Heishin asked.
The Pharaoh explained all of the strange dreams that the prince had been having. "He said that sometimes he would feel as if someone was calling to him," the Pharaoh finished.
After thinking for a little, Heishin replied, "Most likely nothing to worry about, my Pharaoh. Children have many strange dreams."
Contented with the answer, the royal family, along with the new guardian, walked back to the palace, where Yami was put into his bed to sleep peacefully, surrounded by his dreams.
Wow!!!!! That was a long chapter!!! Well, what do you think will happen next? Please review!!!! Bye now!!!
