AN- Ok...a before hand warning...this chapter has been entirely based off of the first comic, and the plot line in it is almost completely NOT mine! It was all that I could come up with to bring in the remaining characters…so I'm kind of sorry about that guys but hey the faster I get this done the faster we can get into the real story! Right?
The chapter after this is going to be as unique as I can get it. I already have the fourth chapter done and boy is it good! it makes up for everything that's in this one and is 5000 words long! It'll be up sometime next week! I promise! XD Enjoy!
Dedication: This chapter goes to my friend Pika-chan! Since my computer is a piece of crap she sends me my stories threw the e-mail and I can do my proper editing o the other computer after that! XD
Disclaimer-Do I really have to do this every time?
My Life...My Death...My Story...
Chapter Three: The Sennen Puzzel
"Wow grandpa! Is this thing really from Egypt!" bright violet orbs shined britly down to the small golden pyramid known as the Shennen Puzzel. It's wild design of twists and turns caused by it's many pieces upon the center piece...the only one left he held within his hand... was the small golden eye of Osiris.
"Mmmmhmmm, I picked it up during one of my first dig's back in Egypt..." the old man stated proudly standing behind his grand son and examining the golden item held within his small hands. "..It was found within the Temple of The Lost Pharaoh...Or at least that's what it's been come to be known as." he smiled down to his grandson, the small teen beaming up to his as he spook.
"So this...this Puzzle that I'm gonna complete belonged to a Pharaoh!" wow! then if I make a wish on it it's sure to come true!
"..The man was nameless...there wasn't a single scratch of his name to be found anywhere within the temple...and just like you Yugi, the man was in love with games...his entire tomb was filled with traps that could only be passed by using your mind. The entire place was one giant puzzle in itself.."
"Wow...that's amazing!"
"Mmm...well, Dinner's going to be up soon...so go wash up."
"Okay Grandpa!" Giving a small wave the older man left the room and the short spiky haired teen to his new treasure... "One piece left...and then I'm done..."
Looking down to the floor he placed a hand to his cheek, feeling the bruise that he had received from one of the many bullies earlier that day...Ushio...
He had taken beating from him unlike any other that day...a really hard one too...and if he didn't come up with 200 000 yen...it was ether that or he would have to give it to him in blood...
Flash Back-Earlier that day...
Yugi sat in his seat smiling to himself as he looked over his desk to the small pile of games he had to play with by himself, the bell for recess had long gone and now as always I was the only person left within the lonely class room...no one ever came to his desk and no one ever wanted to play with him, or hang out...16 years old and the only friend he had ever had was his child hood friend Anzu Mazaki...and even she had some better things to do then to hang around twenty-four seven with him...
So there he sat…lonely within his desk...and playing yet again by himself...
"well...I guess I could always try to build the puzzle again..." moving a number of board games from his desk he smiled to the golden chest he had now placed upon it... happy to have it with him...or at least until another boy Harouto Honda, snatched it from his hands...
"What the hell's this thing? a box?" The tall brown haired male scrunched up his nose as he looked the small box over, watching as the midget known as Yugi got from his seat and moved to the other in an attempt to get his treasure...
"Hey! Give it back Honda!" Jumping he attempted to reach the small box...only to have the brunet move it out of his reach and further into the air and out of his reach...
"No way...Jounichi! catch!"
"Don't throw it!"
"huh? What's this thing?" frowning the blond took the small box and began to examining it, opening it to peek at what was hidden inside.. "A puzzle? You play with puzzles?"
"Jounichi please...give me back my treasure..." he now stood before the messy haired blond, how had the box once again out of his reach.
"No way Yugi...your such a wimp...in fact your so wimpy that hell I'm gonna teach you to be a man! Give me all ya got and I'll give you back your 'treasure'"
"No! I don't like fighting...please just give it back to me..."
"Fine what ever.." tossing the small box once again Yugi caught his beloved treasure and returned to his desk, quickly moving the golden box into his small book bag as the other boy's made their leave...
((Yeah, yeah I know I took almost all of this from the manga and yeah I know I changed a bit of it but hey I told you that at the beginning didn't I? based off the series but not quite the same? I'll have my own plot as soon as this chapter's done though! -;;; I hope...))
To what he knew the rest of the day seemed to drag on as normal...he had no idea of the piece of the puzzle Jounichi had stolen and thrown into the school pool nor of the boy's encounter with the hall monitor Ushio...
However at lunch he was informed of his new 'friend' and what he wished to offer to him...
"I think I'll eat outside today...it's better then being trapped inside the school all by myself again..." a sad smile moved the features of his face as he turned the corner of the school's door.
"Yugi Mouto right?" a tall black haired male asked, he was nearly twice the height of the Yugi...
"uhh, yeah...why?" Tilting his head back he stared up to the other...
"I hear that you've been having some bullying problems in your class room, that true?"
"Not really, I don't get picked on by any of the kids in my class..."
"Of course not...you know most victims defend their attackers...and I think that in your case that's exactly what it is too..."
"Your crazy..."
"That's it!" his large hands flew down taking Yugi's small shoulders in them and bringing him up to his face. "From now on I'm going to be your body guard!"
His eye's widened as the taller teen shoved his face into his own. Feeling slightly intimidated he took a step away and began towards the field where he could eat in peace...
"R-really...there's nothing going on..." weirdo...
Sitting beneath the small cherry tree he smiled enjoying his small lunch...Jounichi and Honda could be seen off across the field playing soccer with a few of his other classmates...they were pretty good...
Taking another bite of his sandwich he smiled yet again, they were going to teach him to be a man...that would be pretty cool, and if they were helping him then they had to be his friends right?
"heh, I guess I'm finally going to have my wish granted...now all I have to do is finish off the puzzle and I'll have a my true friend..."
he watched the game continue on for about another ten minutes before he noticed Jou and Honda being dragged off the field by Ushio...
"huh?...what's he doing?" the boy's were brought form the field and in behind the school, away from Yugi's prying eyes...getting up he made his way to the area that he had seen his new friends be dragged off to...
"OUF!" The muffled sound of Jounichi's voice came from around the corner, shortly followed by Honda own sounds of pain...
"Ushio! What are you doing?"
The two bloody teens lied against the wall, burses covered their faces...
"heh...happy now Yugi?...did you finally get what you wanted, you little bastard..."
"I-I didn't ask for this! I swear it!" he look to the boy's fear, guilt and anger swelling up inside of him...
"Isn't this what you wanted Yugi? For them to get what they deserved? Just think about all the times they knocked you down and beat you up, now's you chance! Now is your chance to get them back! Kick them punch them!" Ushio smirked from his place to the side, encouraging the smaller teen to take advantage of what he had done for him..
"No! Their my friends! I won't hurt them! They-they were only trying to teach me how to be a man..."
a pain shot threw Jounichi's as he heard the smaller boy defend them...
"Your protecting them? No way." he chuckled lightly at the thought of it. " Well what ever you want kid, but I'm not done punching them yet." he took a step towards them and Yugi took a step in front, standing before the two helpless teens that had been treated so poorly...
"If you want their beating it's all fine by me punk!" a fist flew to meet his soft cheack followed be a foot to his stomach...
"Nee!" The smaller teen fell to his knees, his lunch now before him once more on the cement...
"I don't care weather you take their pain or not bitch, but you still own me, the average cost for a body guard so 200 000 yen, so either you give it to me by tomorrow or.." a glint of metal came from just beneath his jacket and a small curved blade was pulled from it's sheath...he smirked as his tong traced it's fine blade before indicating to Yugi's throat. "...you can pay for my duties in blood..."
End of Flash Back
A flash of lightning flew past the window and the sound of rain came upon the darkened glass above his room bringing him back to the worked again...
Moving the small golden eye within his fingers he smiled to his new treasure placing the piece to the only empty hold left within the small pyramid...
I wish I had a true friend...
Another flash of light filled the small room, the golden eye from the piece appearing upon the teens forehead, his eye's few open as wide as they could go, his heart began to race and then darkness...
The boy...though he stood within the center of the room was gone, lightning streaks were now placed across his ebony and crimson hair...his amethyst eye's now replaced by ruby's...he stood tall, thin and confident...
"Ushio...you've caused quite a bit of trouble for one day...I think it's time you were put in you place..."
---
Another flash of lightning filled the sky, heavy foot steps could be heard making their way across the damp ground...the night's rain having just let up...
"Yugi, you said that you had a proposition for me...about my money?" Ushio smirked standing just before the boy...Yugi...or so he thought...
"yes, I brought your money with your money with me...but I thought that perhaps it would be better if we raised it a little and had a bit of fun at the same time...400 000 yen...and you play a shadow game with me for it..."
"400 000 YEN!" His eye's seemed to light up at the thought of how much he would be receiving... "Fine! I'll play your game!"
A sly smirk curved his lip and extending his hand his gave moved to the dagger hidden beneath his coat...
"Your weapon please, it will be a key tool in our little 'game'.."
A moment latter the weapon lay upon a small table to the side of them...the knife and the money...
"The rules of the game are this...each player will take a turn to place the money on top of their hands and then stab it with the knife...what ever money you get on the knife you keep, and you must always take more then one bill. This will continue until the last bill is taken. If a player is to try and take the money by hand of quit in the middle of the game then all that players money will be given to the opponent...and of course the punishment of playing in a shadow game will also be taken into consideration once the game has been completed."
"It's all a match of courage! heh, I can do that..."
The first to try their luck was 'Yugi', placing the money on top of his hand he drove the knife into the thick pile of paper...pulling from it a small number of bills...
"I got 20 yen...it's your turn Ushio.."
Taking the knife the older teen swallowed the small lump in his throat, his knife...his strength...his hand...pulling back slightly he drove it's tip into the paper...and pulling back with an awkward laugh held up over 100 000 yen...
"heh heh! Over 100 000! I-I can do this!"
Smirking Yugi took back the knife and money, getting for himself another 50 yen or so...
"But can you do so well as the pile gets smaller?..."
"huh?..." he turned his sight down to the shrinking pile of money...eventually it would be thin…and then he would end up stabbing his hand instead of the yen!
"You know Yugi...this is wasting my time...I think I'm just going to take the money and YOUR FACE!"
A glint of silver moved towards the smiling males face, he seemed to almost disappear as he jumped from the path of his blades cutting edge...
"My name is Yami...I am the spirit of the puzzle, and the proctor of Yugi Mouto. You have trespassed on my soul and forfeited the match giving the money to Yugi..." he lifted a hand into the air moving a finger to point to the boy, another crack of thunder filled the air and the eye of Osiris appeared once more upon his face...
"As the loser of our game I give you the penalty game GREED!" Another flash of light fell upon the darkened ground...and the man known as Yami frowned as he stared down to the happy teen...Ushio lay upon the ground gathering garbage and dead leafs...shouting and whooping as he threw them into the air...
"Your punishment is to forever live within a world of your own greed...yourself and your money alone...though I have yet to figure out if it is a punishment...or a utopia..."
--
Yugi Mouto yawned as he entered the school building...he had been tiered all morning... he felt as if he hadn't gone to bed until sometime past midnight.
"Hey! Yug'!"
"huh?" the small tri-colored hair teen turned to face the boy racing towards him... "Jounichi?..."
"Hey...uhh...Yugi, heh...you know that treasure that you got?..."
"uhh..y-yeah."
"Well I got one of my own now too...heh heh, I'll give you a hit what it is!...'something
you can show but can't see..." he smirked slightly to the other boy as he seemed to be lost within his thoughts of trying to figure it out...
"gee Jou…I uhh...I don't know what is..."
"heh, give up? C'mon, it's friendship!...Thanks for showing me that we're friends..." he then smiled and took off down the hall... how the hell could I say such corny stuff!
"my wish..." smiling he whispered the words...that is, just before picking up the blonds fallen shoe. "huh? H-Hey! Wait up Jounichi! You forgot your shoe!"
AN- Ok there it is! The final intro chapter! After this it's going to be all fun and plot schemes! I'll still steal a bit from the series but nothing as in depth as third chapter! heh, I almost completely put the manga into words for this one! XD lol, oh well you know it's not mine so it don't matter, ne?
Any-hoo, The next chapter is going to start off probably after the duelist kingdom tournament, that way we can have the friend thing going on and show what each of the characters are going to be doing next, plus I can bring in Malik and do it from there with their feelings and stuff...unless you actually want me to go threw the tournaments...I'll warn you know though I'm not doing any card games! Too hard to write out...I'll make up different plots to get millennium and crap I just needed the items to be discovered... and this was the best I could think of for Yugi... So yeah...I promise never to do one like this again!
Ok! Soooo…tell me what you think! Do you want it from now on be placed inside of the school, random plots that I come up with, what? Should I focus more on some romance and connections within the lovely action or just move on and continue as I am?
