This is my first fanfic (eva!!!!), so pleez review!! I've only seen the
dubbed version, and only up to. uh that one with the dice game? (grrrrr at
network 4 takin it off.) If I get any facts wrong, then tell me in the
review. This has no romance innit coz I can't write that kinda stuff, but
pleez take a look and see 4 urselves.
It's about what I reckon would happen if the millennium items were used to
free the dark magic. and who would go about it. and all that. Rating is
for safety since I'm not sure where this is goin.
/Yugi talking to Yami/ //Yami talking to Yugi// u can figure it out for
urselves. N e way, I'll shut up now and let you read! ^_____^
Yeah, and I don't own Yu-gi-oh in any way, shape or form. Worse luck..
Chapter 1
The sky was grey with clouds over Domino City, threatening rain. Along the concrete paths crowds of people were going about their daily lives - carrying briefcases, queuing for trains and generally adding to the buzz of the city, no one noticed as a head of spiky dark hair wove it's way between the crowd. The boy's name was Yugi, and he was in his early teens despite his height. As he dodged among the other people, the golden pyramid that hung on his chest swung and flashed in the weak sunlight. This was the Millennium Puzzle - an ancient artefact that held secrets unknown to the rest of the world, and some even to its bearer. But for now it simply served as an accessory to the unassuming eye.
Yugi made his way out of the stream of people and, frowning a little at his lateness, made his way along a less populated side street. Soon he came to a store, and pushed open the door.
His friend, a blonde haired boy named Joey, turned at the sound to the door and grinned.
'What kept 'ya, Yuge?'
At this Yugi's other friends turned to greet him. There was Tea (say tei- a), the only female member of their group, the calm and responsible Tristan, and a quieter pale-haired boy named Bakura. Yugi shrugged his backpack off and flopped into the vacant chair at their table with a sigh of relief.
'Have you ever tried walking here during peak hour?'
Joey grinned. 'No one tripped over you, did they?'
Being a good two heads shorter than most his age, Yugi was often ridiculed about his height. This time he feigned insult, but knew from his grin that Joey was only joking around.
'No. And if I grow up to be taller than you, Joey, you're going to regret it!'
Tristan nudged Joey with his elbow. 'Careful, Joey. he might bite your kneecaps.'
Then at Yugi's glare he suddenly became immensely interested in his fingernails.
'Honestly, you two - can't you find anything better to do than baiting Yugi? He's not that short anyway.' Tea interjected.
'Thanks, Tea' said Yugi.
'. and he's only been tripped over once.'
Seeing where this was heading, Bakura hurriedly interrupted.
'Why don't we just order?' he said calmly in a smooth, English accent.
'Hey, yeah!"
All Joey's attention immediately turned to food, and he went to order the pizza.
'How's your Grandpa, Yugi?' inquired Tea. Yugi lived with his grandfather at a game store, which explained his love of games of all kinds - especially Duel Monsters.
'He's fine. The store hasn't been too busy at the moment, so he gave me some time off,' replied Yugi.
'The store's probably the only thing that isn't busy at the moment. Honestly, do teachers think we enjoy homework, or something?' commented Tristan.
'I know,' agreed Bakura. 'I have an English paper due soon, and I'm only halfway through it.'
'English! Don't talk to me about English.' lamented Tea.
'Why?' asked Joey, returning and sitting down.
'Nothing you'd understand, Joey Wheeler.' Tea frowned at Joey's interruption. 'Do you even do homework?'
Not at all fazed, Joey leaned back and beamed a confident smile. 'Yea, it's just not a major priority. 'Ya gotta get your priorities right, Tea.'
'Oh yeah? And what would you consider a major priority?'
Joey thought for a moment. 'Well. deullin', for one. I did come second in the Duellist Kingdom, y'know.'
'Gosh, Joey, we had no idea!' commented Tristan sarcastically.
'. I've gotta keep my skills sharp,' finished Joey, ignoring Tristan.
'Skills? What skills?' snorted Tea. 'You only came second because Yugi eliminated all the competition!'
Yugi smiled quietly to himself as Joey and Tea debated loudly. It was hard to believe that this mismatched group were the best of friends, to look at them, but they were always there for each other. He always enjoyed the time they spent together. His smile faded a little. Today, though, there was something bothering him. He couldn't put his finger on it, but it was just a feeling that wouldn't go away. Something was. wrong.
'What are you thinking about, Yugi?' asked Bakura quietly.
Yugi quickly glanced up, Bakura's question startling him out of his contemplations.
'Oh, nothing,' he said with a smile. Perhaps it was just his imagination, after all.
The pizza arrived just in time to remove Joey from Tea's headlock.
-------------------------------------------------
That night, back in his room, Yugi closed his books and yawned.
// You're tired. Time for bed. //
The voice of the mysterious spirit that had been trapped in the puzzle Yugi wore around his neck, and now shared his body, filled Yugi's mind. Yugi smiled. At first he had been frightened at the spirit's presence, but in a strange way they had become friends. The spirit did not know it's name, but had suggested that he call it Yami.
/ I know./
He got ready for bed, last of all removing the puzzle hanging from the leather thong around his neck and placing it on the table next to him. (me: no he doesn't sleep with it on. Can u imagine rolling over onto that!! -.- #) He smiled contentedly and slowly closed his eyes. He counted himself lucky to have such good friends - alive and. otherwise.
ME: okay, how was that? First chappies always suck. don't worry, im gonna get to the good stuff soon. O, and can sum one tell me what this 'aibou' thing is. i saw it on some other fics. Pleeeeeeeeeeez review, but no flames. i don't like marshmallows.
Yeah, and I don't own Yu-gi-oh in any way, shape or form. Worse luck..
