"Jeez, it feels like forever since I slept in my nice bed" Daniel said trying to shake away his bed hair. He got into the kitchen where his mom was cooking.

"So how was your game?" She asked.

"Good but I lost in the finals" He said taking a seat.

"Aww, that's too bad. So who has your title?" His mom asked.

"Paul has one half while a guy named Vice stole my half. They're planned to duel and the winner takes all." Daniel said.

"A guy eh? Is he cute?" His mom chuckled.

"Don't get any ideas. He's weird down to the bone." Daniel warned.

"Ok. So will be atleast staying for a while?" His mom asked.

"Yeah maybe, nothing new has been happening lately." Daniel said looking to his room where his Millennium Scale stood.

Daniel gasped, looking out the window. "What? What's wrong?" His mom said looking out the window.

"Oh ummm, I just remembered something, gotta go! Bye!" He said grabbing a piece of toast and running off. "What is he up to..."

He had saw Bakura out the window. He seemed to be waiting for him. He ran to the spot where he saw Bakura. "Where are you?" He shouted out.

"I want to give you something..." Bakura's voice said from behind. Daniel turned around and saw him, holding out the golden stone.

"That stone... You stole it from me! You broke into my..." Daniel went on.

"Do you want to keep it or not?!" Bakura said.

Daniel took it. "So it's no wonder the Seal or the Shadow Realm could take you...." He said putting the stone in his pocket. "Why give it back?"

"It's not my thing to use something like that. I have another goal." He said. He pulled down his sweater which covered his neck, showing him the Millennium Tauk. He then unzipped his jacket, showing the Millennium Puzzle. "These items... Are yours..."

"Mine... Why?" Daniel stammered as Bakura took them off and handed it to them.

"While you plundered in your sleep from Vice, you had a vision didn't you? You had taken over the Pharaoh's body and some of his memory dipped into yours. You are now the holder of the Millennium Puzzle. And the Millennium Tauk, you were able to see into the past."

"A lot of us saw into the past why am I so special with it?" Daniel asked.

"Mostly from items that helped them, the Oracles and Millennium Items. You were able to do this on your own." Bakura said putting the Millennium Tauk and Puzzle around his neck.

"What's going to happen to you?" Daniel asked.

"I don't have a purpose in this world anymore." Bakura said turning around.

"Wait..." Daniel said taking out the Golden Stone. "Keep this. You are apart of this world, apart of us. You deserve a stay even if you are evil or not."

"Thanks but your words do not soothe what I hold deep inside." Bakura said walking off.

Daniel ran up infront of him and grabbed his hand, closing it around the Golden Stone. "Really... Take it" He said seriously.

"If you want me to than fine." He said, shoving Daniel out of the way and walking off. Daniel sighed and looked down at the Millennium Puzzle.

"Guess... It's mine..." He said.

Daniel walked along the street, gone to find Allen to tell him the news.

Allen walked out from the alley. "Dan..." He said.

"Allen! Hey there you are!" Daniel said in surprisement.

"Yeah..." Allen said.

"Wh-whats wrong?" Daniel asked.

"He.. was there, in my room." Allen said. "He took the Millennium Eye."

"Are you serious?!" Daniel said.

"It's not with me is it?" Allen said.

"Do you know where he is?" Daniel asked.

"No... I want you to do something first..." Allen asked. "I want you to give me the puzzle for a second."

Daniel started glare at him. "How'd you even know I had the puzzle..." Daniel said, taking his stance.

"I'm not kidding... please." He said taking a step closer.

"Keep away!" Daniel snapped. "Your not Allen. Who are you!"

"You don't get it do you." Allen started to snicker.

Daniel started to get freaked out as Allen gripped his hair and threw it off, revealing blonde air. He threw off the clothes Allen usually wore, revealing a dark trench coat reaching the ground and trailing off a few more inches. He covered his face and grabbed a mask from behind his back and placed it on, it was a gas mask.

"Since that trick didn't then this will have to work" Whiley said as he took out a necklace, the Millennium Eye.

Daniel growled. "What'd you do with Allen!" Daniel growled.

"Let's say he's tied up at the moment." Whiley's voice wheezed, looking to the left with his eyes within the alley sat Allen, with his wrists and legs tied together on a chair. "But in other news, hand me your Millennium Items."

"Why should I, it's not like you need them." Daniel growled.

"Heh, you don't know the torment I suffer. With this ever lasting effect. Drugs and this mask are my only aid. these drugs induce anger, keeping me alive and this mask keeps any fresh air out of my lungs which could result in death. You wouldn't like that huh?" Whiley snickered. "Thinking that it'd be your fault that within 1 hour of this world I would die. You'd so like to win and have myself killed. What would everything think of this guy? A jerk who doesn't care for lives? Or a sick murderer."

"Be quiet..." Daniel snarled. "You came from him, what were you thinking?!"

"I never asked to become apart of this world. Blame himself for summoning such beast. Blame yourself for ever unleashing such power as your Emoriel Breaker." Whiley pointed. "This is the life I live. I must have more power to cure this weakness I have, and in the process of becoming more stronger, I can get rid of my good side and be one."

"I will never let you become one." Daniel growled.

"Why not? Is it because I'm evil, or is it because you don't care for your little Allen. I am him, but with a different name and cause." Whiley said. "Shows what kind of heart your have"

Whiley turned around and began to leave, his trench coat dragging on the ground.

"Where's Allen!" Daniel yelled.

"He's in the alley, if you care." He said.

Daniel looked into the alley, Allen was there. Daniel ran over and untied him. "Are you alright?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah I'm ok." Allen said getting up. "He took my Millennium Eye."

"I'm worried..." Daniel said sitting down on the ground. "Whiley... He has such a tortured life. Yet he relies on drugs, a mask, and power."

"I saw that but why is he after me?" Allen asked.

"He wants to be one." Daniel sighed. "How are we going to handle this..."

Kai, Mink, and Jess walked along the side, walk passing Whiley. "Good evening." He said, bowing his head and walking along.

"Ok..." Jess said peeking back.

"Who was that..." Kai said.

"I have noooo clue." Mink said.

"Look, there's Dan and Allen" Kai pointed out. Everyone met up and Daniel shared his own story about what Bakura did and the conversation he had with Whiley.

"Are you sure he's your evil side?" Mink said, putting her hands on her hips. "He seemed pretty nice to me."

"Don't let his attitude fool you. He's got the Millennium Eye now." Allen said.

It was right now, 6:00 and everyone was bored. They took a short glimpse at the Hamikai High School, which they'll be apart of soon.

They passed by the empty street infront of the P.K Building. Daniel let out a sigh. "I wonder what happened to Darien..." He said.

"I'm right here..." He said a few feet away. Everyone turned to see him alive and well. "And whats with you. No one should care about me."

"Why not. You should be an important figure to Paul." Allen said.

"Yeah right. All he is is trash. He probably thinks the same thing about me. He's a fool." Darien growled.

"Err. Why do you two have to bite at each other's necks! What's bothering you two?! Spill it!" Allen yelled.

"Fool, who invited you to know about my personal business." Darien smirked.

"Alright you asked for it, let's duel!" Allen yelled as his Duel Xero folded out.

"Fine then." Darien said standing straight and his Duel Xero folding out.

"Aww man... Now what did we get ourselves into." Mink said slapping her forehead.

"Well, atleast it's something to watch." Kai said.
