Disclaimer: I don't own Yu gi oh or any concepts or names that you recognize. Although I do own some of my own ideas and OCs.

Anyways R/R and also I will have more information for my story, like character bios and stuff on my other website. It won't be anything you have to know to understand the story but it gives some spoilers and detailed info that you might want to know. Also Kaiba and some of the others are very OOC, but it all fits in somehow. Also thinking; italicsflashbacks; thought speak

Chapter 1: The Adventure begins….and problems already…

Footsteps echoed of the walls leading down the dark hallway. Two figures reached a set of stairs and kneeled. The steps led up to a shadowy figure sitting on a throne. He nodded at them.

The first figure, in a black cloak stepped up, "My Lord, we have done as you commanded. The town was attacked until they finally surrendered. Well the one's that were still alive anyways. Most of the town had been destroyed and only a few were left alive."

"But we still have not found the vessel," replied the other figure, in a brown cloak. The man on the throne stood up, "No matter. We will find him soon enough. Then we will destroy him! I have a special assignment being followed right now as we speak." He turned and walked away, dismissing the two. Just wait, Pharoah. We'll see who ends up in control this time. And without the help of your pathetic friends, you're as good as dead! He chuckled darkly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- The sun rose over a sleeping figure laying in his bed. Yugi woke up up and stretched, "Today's going to be a good day. I can just feel it!" He smiled until he looked over and saw the strange object next to his bed. He sighed, "So it wasn't a dream after all."

The mysterious robed woman handed him the puzzle she was talking about. "Hurry, Yugi, you must unlock all the secrets and follow your destiny. Only then can you defeat Marik. But be careful, he is already looking for you." Then she walked away and he looked down at the puzzle she had placed around his neck.

He picked the puzzle up, "Well, I guess I better do what Ishizu said." He froze, "Wait. What did I just call her? She never said her name. Huh, maybe I've heard it before or something." He walked downstairs and laid the note he had written for his family on the door. Hopefully, I'll see them again. As he walked through the town he heard reports of more towns that had been attacked, "What is up with this Mark guy?" he asked himself as he left the town, "What exactly is he after? And why is he looking for me? I've never even ever met him before. This is just too weird. I should just go back home and forget this. And yet it's almost like there's something that's telling me to go on and that I have to defeat the "Dark Pharoah." I just hope that I'm right, and this isn't a big mistake."

He was woken up the next morning by a loud commotion. He sat up, "Wha?" He looked over and saw a boy running towards him. Yugi jumped up and ran over to him, "Hey, are you oka-" He was caught off as the boy threw a bag at him, "Hey thanks, buddy. I owe you one. Oh and uh watch out for that monkey. He's crazy." The strange boy laughed and ran off. Yugi started to call after him when a strange voice surprised him. "Hey! Yeah, I caught ya, ya little thief. Thought ya'd get away huh? Well I'll show you!"

Yugi looked at the tall angry blonde that was heading towards him. Uh oh he looks pretty mad. He must think I'm the one who stole this. Yugi cried out, "WAIT! I didn't do anything. I mean it! Some kid gave me this! I'm innocent!" He closed his eyes waiting for the impact as the tall blonde got ready to punch him. Great way to stop out. he thought to himself.

A/N: Well whaddya think? Hate it? Like it? Need to know more? Like I said before if you check out my site for it you may find more info, but you don't have to know any of it.

Next Time: What's going to happen to poor Yugi? Is he already in more trouble than he can handle? Is this one of Marik's guys after him? What's going to happen? More characters will be introduced, although you probably already expected that.

Next Chapter- Chapter 2: A new friend and a great mission
