-Kame Turtle Game Shop, 8am-
"Grandpa, have you seen the Pharaoh?" Yugi asked the next morning as he prepared himself to go hang out with Tea, Brian, and Kairi. The elder shook his head as he began to unlock the glass case that showed the many booster packs and starter packs for Duel Monsters.
"I'm afraid not, Yugi," he sighed heavily. "He didn't come back after you came back, so I suppose he was out somewhere." Solomon then went back to his work while Yugi, Millennium Puzzle around his neck, walked out the door to look for his friend.
-Starbucks Coffee House- (Starbucks…yum!)
Tea, Brian, and Kairi stood outside in the warm sunlight, each of them clutching a travel coffee cup. Tea scanned the area for signs of Yugi.
"He should have been here by now," she whispered sadly, taking a sip of her drink. Brian placed his hand onto her shoulder, comfortingly.
"Don't worry," he reassured. "He will be. I just know it." He looked up at the blue sky, birds fluttering in the calming winds. Kairi also scanned the sky, and her eyes grew wide.
-One block away, near a apartment complex-
"Now, Pharaoh," Aknadin's voice hissed as they walked side by side down the sunny street. "You remember what to do, don't you?" Yami's eyes were still in the hypnotic state as he nodded. He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a silver pistol while placing a few bullets into the stock of the gun. He then placed the gun back into his pocket. With that, Aknadin fled while Yami saw Yugi running up towards him. He took the gun out again.
"Pharaoh, where have you been?" Yugi yelled, his eyes full of panic. "We have to meet the others so that we can hang out." Yami held up the gun, and cocked it. All that was heard in the still air was a lonely gunshot. Suddenly, Yami's body glowed, and his eyes returned to normal. Below him, he saw Yugi, his first friend, dead from the bullet in his forehead as blood spilled onto the concrete. The former pharaoh took the boy into his arms, and sobbed.
Over in an alley, Aknadin smiled wickedly. He doesn't remember that I controlled him, but he does remember him killing his light, he thought, walking out of the darkness over to the sobbing king.
"Why did I do it?" he half-shouted into the air as passerby noticed the dead boy in his arms, muttering. A dark shadow fell over him, a tan hand picking up the pistol.
"You shouldn't play with guns, Pharaoh," a voice whispered menacingly. Yami looked up, and his eyes narrowed.
"You…" he hissed. It was Aknadin. "How did you return to this world? You died five thousand years ago!" Aknadin chuckled evilly.
"True, but I have returned for one thing," he laughed, the Millennium Eye glowing brightly. A black aura surrounded the pharaoh, and he screamed in pain. "You." The black aura then became red, and it lifted the Pharaoh off the ground as the light nearly blinded nearby civilians. Yami landed on the ground as the light faded, but it wasn't the real Yami. It was a mutated version of the king, with a spiked tail, large demonic wings, and glowing red eyes. His clothes were torn in pieces, the Millennium Puzzle still hanging from his neck. Aknadin smiled at the new Pharaoh.
"Welcome to this world, Demon Yami," he grinned as the new Yami stared down at the body, a long, eerie smile spreading across his face.
What will happen now that Yami is a evil demon? Find out in chapter four, Threats and a Murder.
