Well, I know I just put this up, but it's been in my mind for quite a while. So, why not continue? The reason why most of my stories tie together is because I've thought of ways to put them into the series. I've been thinking of these stories for quite a few years. At least since freshman year, that's as far back as I can remember.

This was it … this was the moment Yugi had been dreading for the past two weeks. Yami was outside the puzzle ready to pounce at anything that moved, but he was in his transparent form so that only Yugi could see him. The dead Pharaoh saw his little one shaking uncontrollably. 'Yugi, calm down. He hasn't even arrived and already you can not control your shaking. Remember, I am here with you. There is nothing he can do as long as I am with you'. Yugi smiled. He knew Yami was right. Even Isaac's powers were nothing compared to Yami's telekinesis. Yugi looked over at his parents and grandfather. Mike loved Isaac as much as he loved Yugi, but he still knew nothing of the torment Isaac had put his son through over the years. Kay loved Isaac as well, but she knew that he was a wild teenager. Unlike Yugi who did only what was right, Isaac made a lot of bad decisions. Solomon could not wait to see his oldest grandson. Because he lives with Yugi, he was able to watch him grow up, but the only time he gets to see Isaac is during Christmas. Yugi sighed. He really wished Isaac wasn't coming alone. He did love his aunt and uncle. They usually protected him against Isaac while they were growing up. But when Isaac was his babysitter, that's when things turned rough. Yugi could remember back one time when he and Isaac had to stay alone together because their parents wanted to go out …

(Yugi's Flashback)

Yugi was eleven years old. He had just finished his most prized possesion, the Millennium Puzzle a few months ago. He and his parents were spending a few weeks in Vale to visit their family. The only thing about tonight was that his older cousin, Isaac was going to be babysitting him. Isaac was thirteen, the beginning age of babysitters. (At least it is in this state) Yugi stood by the door when his mother came up and gave him a hug and kiss. "You be good tonight, Baby."

"I will, Mom." Then his father came and tussled his hair. Mike picked Yugi up and squeezed him.

"If you need anything, just give us a ring, okay?" Yugi smiled and nodded before giving his father another hug. After saying good – bye to his aunt and uncle, Yugi stood outside the house he was visiting when he felt an arm snake itself across his shoulders. He looked up to see a boy that was at least two feet taller then him with blonde spiky hair. There were more spikes on the right side then the left. He also had icy blue eyes and from Yugi's point of view, a fake smile. This was his older cousin, Isaac.

"Bye, you guys have a good time!" Yugi gulped. He was expecting the worst. When the car had finally gone from sight, the two boys headed back into the house.

"So … what do you want to do, Isaac?" Yugi cringed, not really wanting to hear the answer. Surprisingly, Isaac waved his hand in front of his face.

"You go watch some TV. In the living room, Li'l Cuz. I'll join you in a minute. Yugi looked at his cousin in shock. No mock? No Joke? Was this really Isaac? He smiled without thinking twice.

"Okay!" Yugi ran to the living room while Isaac headed upstairs. There was nothing that caught his interest on TV, so he watched a movie instead.

An hour and a half later, Yugi got bored from his movie and he was also wondering where his darling cousin was. He sighed and waited fifteen more minutes before deciding to go and see what Isaac was doing.

Yugi crept up the stairs that led to the second floor of the house. There were four rooms he could choose from. There was his aunt and uncle's room that was across the hall, which had the light on, but no one was inside. There was a room next to that room which was used as an office for his uncle with a computer in it, but there was no one in there. There was a guest room on his left that Yugi used every time he stayed over, or when Isaac's best friend, Garet would spend the night. No one was in there either. Then he saw a bathroom right next to his aunt and uncle's room. He suspected no one would be in there. The room on his right was Isaac's room. Yugi slowly walked over and softly knocked on the door. When no answer came, Yugi got suspicious. The weird thing was, he could have sworn that he heard laughing coming from behind the door, so he thought he should open it. When he did, he got a big surprise.

"Isaac, it's been --" Yugi's eyes doubled in size from the sight before him. Isaac was lying in his bed, with some girl underneath him. Both were naked. All Yugi could do was stare. He was young and very clueless as to what life was like beyond his games, but he still knew a few things of what people do when the lights go off. Isaac turned to face him with a look that seemed to be crossed with shock and anger.

" … Yugi … what's up, Li'l Cuz?" All Yugi did was stare. That was the only thing he could think of doing. The girl Isaac was … 'getting acquainted' with looked up to see Yugi.

"Isaac … who is this?" Isaac looked at Yugi and then at the girl.

"Oh … uh … Stacy, this is my cousin, Yugi. Yugi, this is Stacy." Once Yugi heard his name, he snapped out of his trance.

"Oh uh … hi, Stacy …" He said, awkwardly. Quietly, Stacy whispered something in Isaac's ear.

"I thought you said you were going to be alone tonight." Isaac shrugged.

"I had to baby-sit at the last second." Stacy started to get up, but Isaac was still on top of her.

"Isaac, I really don't think this is the right time …"

"No, wait, Stacy. Yugi, think I can drop you off at Garet's house ---" Stacy stopped him.

"Isaac, I really don't wasn't to put your cousin through any more … trauma then he's in right now … tonight just wasn't the night." The young adept sighed.

"Yeah, you're right … Yugi, go wait downstairs." Happy to get away from the awkward moment, Yugi did as he was told.

Half an hour later, Stacy came down the stairs, quickly followed by Isaac. Both fully dressed. Yugi sat on the bottom step, twitting with his fingers. Stacy looked at Yugi and smiled. She gave him a hug and Yugi blushed. He could see Isaac out of the corner of his eye, glaring daggers at him. Isaac, give me a call next time you're alone." She said as she kissed the blonde.

"You got it." She looked over at Yugi and smiled.

"Bye, Yugi."

"Uh … bye … Stacy …" Once Stacy was gone, and the door was closed, Isaac turned to fully glare at Yugi. The small boy trembled in his spot. "Th – this is where I should run, right?" Isaac smirked.

"I'm gonna give you a ten second head start, " his smirk turned into a sneer, "Then, I'M GONNA POUND YA!"

"AAAHHH!" Yugi yelled, running to the far side of the house, screaming.

"One … two …" Isaac was very frustrated, "TEN! COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT!" But Yugi would not stop. Isaac chased him all over the house. Finally, when he caught the smaller one, Isaac toppled over him and held his mouth with his hand. Yugi did the first thing that came to mind and that was to lick the hand over his mouth. "Gross!" As soon as Isaac let go of Yugi, he was off again. Isaac stopped in the kitchen and his shoes came to a screeching halt. He waited a few minutes and leaned against the counter. "Three, two, one …" With this said, a creaking sound was heard. Isaac smirked. He headed over to the laundry room and snuck in. When he finally opened the dryer door, Yugi screamed and tried to make a run for it before Isaac pounced on him, pinning his little cousin to the ground. Yugi thrashed about, trying to get the older boy off of him. "I'm gonna make you regret what you saw!" Yugi continued to thrash.

"I already regret what I saw!" The two continued to thrash. "Ow, Isaac, you're breaking my arm!"

"That's because I can't reach your neck!" Suddenly, Isaac reached over Yugi's neck and grabbed the Millennium Puzzle. He ran off with it in his hand. Quickly, Yugi recovered.

"Isaac!" He ran after his older cousin when all of a sudden, the ground started to shake. Yugi didn't even have to guess at what the earthquake was caused from. When he ran outside to the backyard, he saw a large crack in the ground with Isaac waving the ancient relic above the crack. Yugi's heart stopped right then and there.

"I – Isaac, what are you doing?" Yugi was about to take another step forward when Isaac held out his palm and a bunch of vines appeared around Yugi's ankles and held him in place.

"Not another step, Li'l Cuz, or I drop this rock of yours in this trench and it falls all the way to the earth's core." Yugi gasped.

"No, Isaac please! Grandpa brought that back from Egypt and gave it to me!" Yugi was practically crying now.

"So what, Grandpa brought me back a pocket knife from Egypt and you don't see me cryin' over it!" Yugi winced. Isaac started yelling at him.

"W - What do you want, Isaac?" There was a little tremble in his voice, and he knew Isaac noticed it.

"You're gonna swear on it!"

"Swear? What do you mean?" Isaac exhaled out of annoyance.

"You're gonna swear on this thing to never tell a soul of what you saw!"

"What? I can't do that! I would never ---," To prove that he wasn't kidding around, Isaac's grip on the rope holding the puzzle weakened, causing the puzzle to slip from his grip and make its way closer to the trench, "--- Alright, alright I swear," Yugi started crying, "I swear …" Isaac used his psynergy to return the backyard to normal and release Yugi. He casually walked over and threw the puzzle to Yugi. He caught it just before it hit the ground.

"Good, now go to bed!" Yugi looked up with teary eyes.

"But … it's only eight o'clock …" Isaac grabbed Yugi by his collar and lifted him in the air. Yugi squeaked.

"Look, I'm the babysitter, so you'll go to bed when I tell ya too!" He dropped Yugi who ran into the house and stomped up the stairs. That night, Yugi cried for two reasons. One, he thought he was going to lose the puzzle for good, and second, that was when he realized that he did not just hate Isaac's guts, he hated him. And we all know that normally, Yugi doesn't have it in himself to hate, so this was a new feeling for him; a new feeling that he never liked.

(Return to present)

That was a terrible trip for Yugi. And the last time he saw Isaac, he told him to get out of his life; which even though Yugi wasn't fond of his older cousin, he still loved him. And hearing Isaac telling him to get out of his life caused him major pain. Now, he had no choice but to be in his life for at least the next five months.

Just as Yugi thought this, the plane that carried the source of his worries had landed. Yugi let out a steady breath. 'This is it …' he thought to himself. A few people came off the plane, but no one he recognized. 'Well, maybe he chickened out …' As if sensing his thoughts, a high pitched, annoying voice filled the room.

"Woo, look out Domino, Isaac Moto has a – rived!" Yugi rolled his eyes. It was just like Isaac to put the attention on himself. Yugi's parents ran over to greet Isaac at the door. Yugi took his good old time and casually walked over to the Adept.

"So, Isaac how was the plane ride?" Solomon asked. Isaac shrugged.

"Eh, it was whack. The peanuts were stale and I already saw the movie!" Solomon, Mike and Kay laughed. Yugi on the other hand mocked him behind his back. Yami watched all this and was surprisingly already annoyed by Isaac's perky personality. Suddenly, Isaac turned his attention over to the spiky haired kid to his right.

"Why hello, Li'l Cuz!" He said, cheery. Yugi slightly nodded with a blank look on his face. He tried not to show any emotion in front of his cousin.

" … Hello, Isaac …"
