~*Author's Note: I decided to put the sequel in this story rather than putting it into another story. Save you from the trouble of trying to find the link for the story ^_^ Anyway, this is a continuing story of how Miyako's life went on after her parent's death*~
~*The Wish*~
Five years later…
Joey, Yugi and Miyako sat in the living room in Joey's home one late afternoon. It had been five years. Five years since the death of her own parents. Joey had taken over as a father though it wasn't as easy as it sounds when it comes to having a child who knows the dark arts.
"Okay Miyako," Joey held up one of Yugi's cards. "Who's this?"
"Dark Magician." Miyako smiled.
"And this?" Yugi held up one of Joey's card.
"Time Wizard."
"Okay, let's see if you can guess this one." Joey laughed, showing her the card.
"Hey, what kinda card is that?" Yugi tried to get himself a sneak peek. "Let me see Joey."
"Nice try Yugi," Joey grinned, holding the card away from his friend.
"No need to show it Uncle Joey," Miyako gazed at the floor. "You're holding the Winged Dragon of Ra which used to belong to Marik."
"What?" Yugi looked up at Joey. "Since when did you get that card?"
"Well…" Joey had a sly grin. "Remember long time ago during the Battle City Finals and some of Marik's cards fell from his hand after you defeated him? Well, I kinda snatched it from the pile of cards that fell."
"Joey!"
"What?" he looked down at Yugi. "Nobody knew, nobody cared. Finders-keepers, that's what I call it."
Yugi shrugged looking down at Miyako, who was reading a Japanese version of Harry Potter. "Well, since your birthday is tomorrow," he noticed that the book she was reading was the Goblet of Fire.
"Oooh," Miyako squealed with delight. "What you got me?"
Yugi laughed as he held out a rectangular shaped object, wrapped in red shiny paper. "Open it."
Miyako tore open the package seeing the new version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. "Wow, cool. I thought they were sold out already."
"Yours truly has bought the last copy." Yugi grinned.
"Don't worry Miyako," Joey placed away his cards. "When you come home, you're gonna have cake and all of us are gonna be here. Even Kaiba."
Miyako frowned slightly, placing the book down, gazing out the window. All was silent in the air. Joey and Yugi looked at each other strangely before looking at Miyako, starting to become worried.
"Miyako," Yugi made his way towards her, placing his hand on her shoulder. "I know how hard it is with your parents gone. But they're still here…just…well…"
"Is it all right if I bring a few friends along?" Miyako suddenly spoke up.
"Well, sure." Joey gazed at Miyako, surprised at her reaction. "If that's what you want. You're turning fifteen, great changes will finally occur."
"Thanks Uncle." Miyako smiled, running up the stairs.
"Hey Yugi?"Joey looked down at his friend.
"Yeah?"
"You think it's a good idea to be giving Miyako those Harry Potter books?"
"Huh? What do you mean Joey? She loves those books."
"No, no, it's not that. It's just that it might kinda influence her?"
"What do you mean?" Yugi looked up at his friend curiously.
"See, I know we haven't been truthful in our friendship but Miyako's father made me promise to try raise her as a normal child even if she already knows some stuff."
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, Miyako inherited traits from three people. First, there's both Yami and Tea, the real parents. Somehow, even after the Halloween incident, Miyako has not only the physical traits but also something far worse from Bakura."
"And what's that?"
"She knows of the Dark Arts. We both know Yami and Tea didn't have those kind of powers so…"
"Bakura's the master of the dark arts?"
"Unfortunately yes. But what good would it be now that Bakura and Marik are dead."
"You would never know." Yami looked out the window. "Bakura and Marik mean business and with Yami and Tea dead, I kinda fear that Bakura might come back to get Miyako."
"But he's dead."
"I've read somewhere before that there's a way to be brought back from the dead."
"I guess all hell's gonna break loose now."
Suddenly, a knock came about the door. Joey made his way towards it, opening it. There stood before him a short man with blue hair…a deliveryman? And there he was holding out a rectangular box and a box in a shape of a book.
"Packages for Miyako." The deliveryman smiled, handing the two boxes to Yugi before taking out his clipboard.
"Who are these from?" Yugi settled the boxes down.
"Don't know. There's no name. Perhaps that relative wants to keep its name anonymous for now."
"Ho hum, anyway," Joey took out a pen. "Where do I sign?"
"Just sign on the dotted line." The man pointed to the dotted line on the bottom of the paper.
"Okay…Joey…Wheeler." He signed his name, giving back the clipboard.
"Have a nice day sir." He bowed before turning to leave.
"Uh…yeah…sure." Joey closed the door. "Man, he's freaky. Let's take these to Miyako's room. Maybe it could be those books she ordered."
"Maybe." Yugi picked up the two boxes, making their way up the stairs.
Meanwhile, outside of Joey's home, the deliveryman made his way across the street. His form shifted into a tall demonic looking figure, his hair white as snow, looking back at Joey's house, a dark laugh escaped his lips.
The Night of the Party…Miyako had finished school, making her way up the steps to the house. Opening the door, she noticed the whole house dark. Switching on the light, people suddenly popped out, screaming "Surprise!"
"What in the world?" Miyako was obviously taken back. Joey, Yugi, Tristan, Mai, Serenity, Li, Mokuba, and Kaiba stood in the living room. On the table was a birthday cake.
"Ah, you didn't see that one coming eh?" Joey grinned. "C'mon, let's go light up the candles."
"Uh…sure uncle." Miyako smiled as they all gathered around the table. The song "Happy Birthday" slowly came about. After the song ended, all was silent in the air. Miyako stared into the flames of the candles.
"Okay Miyako," said Mai. "Go for it. Make a wish and blow out the candles."
Miyako glanced up at Mai, then to the flames, closing her eyes. I know what to wish for. I wish I had a friend…a real close friend, not like those girls that used and treated me like dirt. She then blew out her candles, realizing each of the flames had been burnt out.
"Whoa…Miyako," Li looked at her, a bit surprised. "For a little girl, you got a huge mouth."
"You would stop at nothing to get that child back huh?"
Bakura and a young woman hung out in a bedroom in an apartment. He gazed at the faded image of Miyako on the dressing room mirror.
"Joey is uncapable of dealing with her." Bakura gazed up at her. "She…" he then stopped, smirking. "So, after all this time, she doesn't have real friends. And here she is, wishing for one. Well Ishizu, I found a way to make little Miyako happy after all."
"And how will you pull that off?" Ishizu tilted her head to the side, tossing up and down a crystal ball.
"I'm glad you asked." Closing his eyes, he started to chant an ancient spell. Suddenly, dark smoke encircled him. Within minutes, Bakura had changed to a kid, about the same age as he daughter. His white hair was almost the same though he had ponytailed it.
"You do know that the child's powers are improving." Ishizu placed the crystal ball on the bed. "She will remember you. She'll be able to detect the evil spirit inside of you whether you're a thirteen year old a baby."
"I have this." Bakura held up a watch, placing it on his wrist. "It conceals the scent of evil."
"You just hope she isn't strong enough to break that barrier."
It was already 9:30. Miyako had two of the packages on her lap, the one Joey brought in yesterday. She noticed a card attached to one of the packages. Opening it, there was a simple note.
We will meet again. It read. No name. Shrugging, she opened the package only to reveal a book of the Dark Arts. Her eyes widened, wondering who sent her the book. With shaking hands, she placed the book on the bed. Her eyes glanced towards the second package. Tearing it open, it appeared to be some sort of staff that a mage would use. Standing it on the floor, it stood almost as tall as she was. It almost looked like a huge key. There was a blue orb on the top wich seemed to blow. Perhaps it was a wand instead. Looking it over, Miyako decided to try it out. She raised her staff, the blue orb started to glow.
Suddenly, Joey opened the door. "Hey Miyako, time for bed. You'd wanna wake up early for school whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Miyako was startled looking up at Joey. Joey made his way towards her, taking the staff. "What is this Miyako?"
"I…I'm not sure. I guess this was what came in."
"Hmmm…" Joey examined the staff for a moment before looking at Miyako for a long time. "I suppose you might need it. Just don't be using it to scare the hell out of everyone."
"Yes uncle." Miyako sat on the bed.
"All right young lady," Joey smiled, leaving the room. "Go to bed and good night."
