I apologize for anyone who read a poor version of the first chapter.
Fanfiction.net's way of presenting stories has never been a friend of mine.
Once again, I apologize.
For anyone who is pissed off that I didn't include Seto, Morkuba, and Bakura. Bite me. They will come soon enough.

The camera flashed at such an extent, that it seems like the only thing that could make a kindergarten show-host pissed off on the job.
Yugi wandered into the room, well to be accurate, Yami Yugi did. After much debate, the two alternate egos decided that it was best to make the pharaoh the front man. This WAS a multi-million commercial business that Pegasus was running, and Yugi thought it was best not to look stupid. Yami adjusted his robe, and relaxed as hair stylists decided to drown him with fashion statements.
"SILENCE!!!!" Yami shouted.
"Are you sure you wanna go through with this Yugi-boy? After this caper, your private moments will be shattered." Pegasus advised.
Although Pegasus DID try to steal Yugi's millennium puzzle, and kidnapped his Grandpa's soul, the consequences of being famous was worse than those two combined. The mirror in front of the pharaoh glanced back with a resentful gleam, as Yami's eyes penetrated into it deeply.
Yami ushered a sigh, and immediately crafted his 'I'm Ready' look.
"Of course I do. I love this game with all my heart, and it's best to establish an occupation on it. This way, if education is out of the picture, then I have to count on my safety net." Yami decided.
Pegasus didn't smile, as he desperately needed some kind of a mascot for his business. So far, Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards were on the minds of people worldwide, and those who couldn't take this further, were mysteriously dead.*
* - Which was quite a coincidence with the Vice President gaining more power. And he seemed very healthy after his boss died under mysterious circumstances.
"It's time to. enterprise," Yami improvised.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"It's two weeks until school," Joey counted.
Suddenly, the gang didn't seem to care about the inevitable pleasure and pain of education. At one point, education will save their asses, and still it did it, regardless after they bitched about it. Tea nervously scratched her face as the gang passed the school building. It was one of their usual touring around their hometown, searching for any rare cards anyone dropped.*
* - Professional statisticians have worked out that it's 5,543,231.28 to 1 of picking up a rare card in a random location. If it's not a random location, the odds are still near-impossible, compared to being killed by a Vending Machine. **
** - Especially, the 'Kids! Do not stick your head into the can-coming-out tube.' Graffiti never seemed such a noble action. *ahem*
"You know, that each time you count down the days until school starts again, God kills a kitten." Tea snapped.
"Meh, I never liked kittens anyhow. I'm more of a 'I-hate-pets' person." Joey retorted.
Serenity giggled, as Joey smiled with pride. The gang felt a little absent, as Bakura was still off on his voyage to discover the benefits of camping. Outside the gigantic city, you could imagine the white haired saint/devil trying to light a fire with two dry sticks*. Rest assured, as the encouraging psychopath was to return tomorrow. Then the gang would be complete.
* - Not one of his masterful qualities of being a deranged lunatic. Bakura never really got in touch with nature, and don't ask about his 'merry self'.**
** - Christmas and Bakura obviously didn't go hand in hand. While volunteering to be Santa Clause, it was safe to say that the "Ho Ho Ho" did not quite sound right after the "Tremble pitiful mortals!"
"The background never seemed so cool like this. I mean, the summer, you can't beat summer, y'know? Seriously, it's breezy, it's cool, it's."
"IT'S YUGI MOTO!!!!!"
"Wha. oof!" Tristan muttered.
At full speed, a rally of ten children rushed towards Yugi, like following a bad plan to thwart a guerilla unit. Tristan and Joey quickly fended off the oncoming, but friendly and respecting onslaught. Yami quickly grabbed Serenity's arm and Tea by her waist. Blushing and mesmerized, Tea ran towards the other side, and decided to hide under a corroding steel table. All three decided to keep their head down, for keeping themselves low-key, and preventing any gum being stuck in their hair.
"All right, let's just."
Yami stopped, as Tea's face was centimeters from his.
". hide under here until the coast is well clear."
".r.ig.ht, RIGHT!, gotcha, " Tea instantly replied.
"You mind explaining what that was about Yugi?" Serenity interrogated.
"Er. let's just make that the least of our worries," Yami muffled under the desk.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The gang listened intently on Yami's explanation. Confessing never seemed so hard, even explaining to some people that you will trust for the remainder of your life. Even your afterlife, as religions was just an excuse to keep friends together. Jeebus, Yugi thought, for a pharaoh of worlds, and an element of courage, Yami wasn't doing so well.
"That explains why you didn't show up on the beach, but why did you decide to do this?" Tristan pointed at the latest Time magazine, where Yami struck a fearsome pose, as well tightly holding some new booster cards that were released.
"I'll let Yugi handle the personal questions," Yami instructed.
FLASH
"Because, after that Christmas party we had, I kinda got discouraged after you giving me expensive gifts and me giving. cheap knockoffs." Yugi's voice volume decreased.
"So, THIS is the way you decide to DO?!" Tristan aggressively shouted.
"Hey Tristan, you aren't helping. We're supposed to ENCOURAGE Yugi, remember?" Tea instantly snapped.
"Look Yug, we don't any problem with this. We're just saying, did you think about this?" Joey kindly offered.
"I know this isn't a responsible thing to do when you become the champion and all, but I really want to make my future in this."
Yugi quietly sank back into the corner.
"Well?" Serenity vaguely asked.
"What?"
"How much are you getting for this gig?"
"Oh, the check came two hours ago. I didn't open the envelope yet."
Joey immediately snatched the envelope on Yugi's desk, scrolled down to the figures, and dropped dead right on the spot.
"Joey!" Serenity aided.
With that, Joey's eyes opened wider than the time Yugi gave the three million to cure Serenity's vision. Luckily, the sharp, hard, gritty Dark Magician Girl replica figure broke his fall.
"Oh come on, It can't be that. WHOA," Tea froze.
"Look, it's not that much." Yugi defended himself.
"TEN MILLION DOLLARS!!" Joey proclaimed.
"TEN MILLION DOLLARS??" Grandpa shouted from afar.
"TEN MILLION DOLLARS!!!!" Joey proclaimed again.
FLASH
Yami's right hand quickly covered Joey's mouth, while his left pointed to the rest of the gang to do so.
"Listen, I know what I am doing. Of course, this isn't the wisest thing to do. But even a duelist needs to earn material processions, and this is currently the best thing I came up with, without dragging Yugi's grandpa into a financial crisis." Yami explained further. "Joey, if I released you, would you control yourself?"
Joey slowly nodded.
Yami re.
"TEN MILLION DOLLARS!!"
.gripped his hand upon Joey's mouth once more.
"We totally understand what you're going through Yugi, and if this plan gets messed up, you can always count on us." Tea kindly reminded.
With that, Yami quietly opened a smile. A smile produced when listening to 'Hey Jude' by the Beatles, in a bright sunlit room. Yami was ready for this, he always was. He WAS pharaoh for crying out loud, and he was known by more people than a Dueling Champion in his days.
Within that kind speech, Grandpa shoved his. unique head through the door, and proceeded to check that his son was one of the most powerful people in the world.
FLASH
Yugi smiled, as he regarded tackling the capitalistic world was no harder than experiencing puberty for the first time. Especially with his soul- mates side by side.
