Chapter Ichi

The Millennium Necklace

//means talking between hikari's and Yami's//

'Oh great' Yugi thought to himself as he got out of bed. 'I'm late, again' he said with a grumble. His long hair fell to his shoulders, as he looked into his reflection in the mirror. He resented the fact that he was alone all the time, Grandpa Muto was away on an archeological dig in Cairo. And Yami was always pondering about his past. He always seemed that he was to busy, ever since Isizu told him the "end" was to come. He fell back on his bed and spread his arms on the sheets. He thought about how he was so sad, so lonely. Everyone had someone, tears gathered in his eyes. Even Yami. He straightened up, and tried to calm down, but before he could, he reminded himself that now, he was really late. He put on a black shirt, and black pants that he had laid out on his dresser the day before. He grabbed his bag, slinged it across his back and headed for the door.

He walked slowly to Domino High, not really there, his eyes were out of focus most of the time, as he though about the horrible day that had laid itself out before him. He resented everything about today, and ignored the gang. At lunch, he pondered his thoughts. To Yugi, it seemed everything was falling apart, all he wanted was someone, someone to hold, someone to kiss, someone to love. But none of his current friends could not provide that. He totally zoned out, wondering if Yami even cares.

**

Then he realized Bakura was talking to him, he shook his head, and focused on that irritating voice he heard.

'What do you want, Bakura?'

"I just wanted to talk, it seems that lately everyone is so rapped up in themselves, I feel left out'

"Its very interesting to listen to your whining"

"What is your problem, Yugi?"

"YOU!"

Bakura mumbled something to himself as he walked away, rolling his eyes. Yugi starred into his lunch, wishing things were different. He thought about when he had a normal family, and he had a normal life. It reminded him of his golden box, something his parents hadn't token away from him, it had a picture of him and his family (before they had gone their separate ways), and a picture he had drew with Seika. She had never talked much, but she always listened. Yugi didn't know much about her, she was just always there when he called on her. He wished there would be no Millennium Puzzle, no divorced parents. No loneliness, no pain.

**

Yugi left the lunchroom, feeling even more depressed, when he saw a unfamiliar face at domino high. The blond haired girl came up to him…

'Hi, I'm Heroku, I'm having a little trouble, can you tell me where the ELA classroom is?'

I have ELA too, if its not a problem, we could walk together. If you need help you can always ask me, I could use a new friend.' he said as he tried to hide his cheeks blood red with his long shiny blonde hair.

"Oh, that's so sweet" Heroku said, as she moved in and gave Yugi a kiss on the cheek, 'you wait right here' then walked to the end of the hall, winked and turned the corner.

He tried to hide the smile dancing on his lips, he couldn't. When she winked at him from the end of the hall, he looked down at the floor, smiling. He felt a different kind of feeling in his heart, now a new hope had risen, he knew that she would help his wounds heal.

Yugi waited for a couple minutes, and then Heroku appeared, walking towards him.

'thanks a bunch for waiting' she said, smiling at him, and together they set off towards room 556, ELA.

**

'I wonder why he is so nice, especially to other freshman, most of the other freshman clump together in groups not speaking.' Heroku thought, dreamily staring at the blackboard, not paying attention

//that's because he is another hikari// Hara, her Yami interrupted

//stop eavesdropping, don't you have anything better to do? Anyway, what are you talking about? He doesn't have a Millennium Item//

//Heroku, destiny sent us, because many the students here have the Millennium Items//

//don't fall in love now, Heroku. Evil lurks by//

A olive-skinned boy with platinum blonde hair pushed the door open, causing it to slam into the wall, smashing the glass into pieces.

//who? Him?//

//Yes, Heroku. I have heard of him, he possess the Millennium Rod//

//he is ugly, Yugi is much cuter//

Hara sighed and Heroku giggled secretly during class. She pretended to ignore the olive-skinned boy who kept staring at her.

//Marik, who is this girl?//

//She possess' the Necklace//

//this could be to my advantage//

**

Class drifted by, as Heroku gazed out the window. It was a beautiful day in Domino City, outside the birds were singing, the grass was lush green, and the sun was shining, further elevating her mood. Outside the classroom, Yugi waited for her and showed her to her next class, which was Biology. Yugi sat down across from her and smiled. She smiled back. The teacher drowned on and on, as she scribbled down some notes, but took the advantage to draw Millennium Symbols and hieroglyphs across the top of her notebook. It reminded her that it wasn't long ago that she bonded with Hara.

Her past is rooted in mystery, as for no one knows of her parents disappearances, nor of her Yami, Hara. 'Twas only a couple of years ago, before her fathers disappearance.. A warm breeze passed through Heroku's long blonde hair, her blue eyes sparkling. She followed her father into the pyramid, 'I have something to show you' he said as she followed him down a dark dingy shaft. He turned on his flashlight and illuminated a huge golden room decorated with hieroglyphs. He pointed towards one particular wall, she looked at a drawing of a young beautiful girl. Around her neck was a necklace with a eye on it.

'that's you, Heroku' her father said, giving her the flashlight, 'I've read these Hieroglyphs, Heroku. It is your destiny to own the Millennium Necklace.'

'but-I-I don't understand, father'

'Hara, she looks exactly like you, Heroku. She helped the Pharaoh save the world, and now destiny is repeating itself, now you have to help the Pharaoh'

He handed her the necklace, and helped her put it on her neck.

'how will I know who is the Pharaoh, father?' she asked, helplessly lost in questions

'Hara will help you, now go save the world, Heroku'

'but fathe-' but before she could answer, he had vanished

'oh father' she murmured, looking down at the necklace, it gleamed brightly though their surroundings were black.

'what the-?' she asked bluntly. Heroku put her hands out, almost touching the necklace. Her surroundings began to spiral oddly, and next thing she knew she was in another place.

'Heroku, I've been waiting for you'

'Hara?'

Hara came out of the darkness, and nodded. Heroku gasped, 'you're-you're me'

'no, Heroku, I'm your past'

'but how?'

Hara sighed, as her story began…

'millennia's ago, the ancient Egyptians played a game of darkness, the shadow games. Powerful wizards released monsters to do their bidding, but soon the wizards lost control over the beasts and they destroyed villages and killed countless mortals. Yet, then I was still not aware of my destiny. Pharaoh Yami used powerful magic and sealed the monsters in tablets, but still the wizards brought the monsters out, and their epic battle began, and it was up to me and the Pharaoh to stop them. Now, destiny is repeating itself, hikari, and King Yami will have to fight the evil once again, but with our help'

Heroku nodded, and the room began to spin again, she closed her eyes, wondering where she would be now. She opened her eyes, she was back home in Domino City.

'how?' she asked loudly. Hara's sweet voice answered quietly inside her head

'shadow magic'

Heroku smiled..

The summer days passed by, as August came to an end, and Heroku wasn't lonely. She called up Domino High, and made sure she knew the first day of school, 'ah, September 8th, a Monday' she remembered herself repeating over the telephone to the secretary, 'I'll be there, thank you'

Heroku brought herself back into the world of the living now. The bell rang moments later, and the classroom was a mixture of students rushing to go home and others who had activities.

Yugi helped her gather up her books and together they walked home.

**

//Yami, Yami!// Yugi said to his aibou, impatiently yelling his name

//does this girl have an Item? She seems like a hikari//

//yes, she does aibou, and I may not remember much of my past, but her Yami has something to do with it//

Yugi nodded silently, inside he was happy that Yami had answered him, and that he had called him aibou.

**

//Hara, what item does he possess?, I feel strong power from him//

//inside him lives the Pharaoh, he owns the Puzzle//

//So we have found him, Hara. What next?//

//we wait, first we need to find the evil ones who seek to run the world//

Heroku nodded silently.

Yugi walked her home, which wasn't far from his own

'can I come for you tomorrow?'

'sure'

Both smiled at each other, Yugi walked down the steps of her porch and she watched him the door to his house, which was four houses away.

What will happen when Yugi finds out Heroku has a Millennuim Item?

Why was Marik staring at her in class, and what is he planning?
