It was a bright sunny morning in Domino City everything seemed quiet except at a certain mansion." Ok I got this. I have to because my life depends on it." said Mokuba who was now sitting at a kitchen table. Mokuba had tiny beads of sweat rolling down his face '' Ok I know I got it this time." he said desperately. He looked at the person across from him who had been silent the whole time. He opened his mouth to speak" Do you have….. Any three?" he asked the person who was none other than Yugi himself. Yugi looked at the cards in his hand and shook his head." Dang it, another Go Fish." he said in disappointment as he drew a card from a pile and frowned when it wasn't the card he needed. Yugi looked at his card again and thought for a good hot minute before raising four fingers. Mokuba sighs dejectedly as he hands Yugi a number four card. Yugi matched the four cards together in a pile beside him as he smiled at Mokuba." Man, I need to step up my game. You only have three cards left." the black hair boy said. Yugi just placed a hand over his mouth trying to suppress a giggle as he waited for Mokuba to try his next move." Do you have any uuh seven?" the boy asked hesitantly. Yugi once again shook his head and Mokuba cursed as he drew another card. Yugi held up five fingers this time to Mokuba. The boy sighs in defeat as he hands over the number five that he drew last turn. Yugi pumped his fist air of victory with a huge smile on his face. He held out his hand as Mokuba slowly handed him a chocolate coin that they were using to bet with." That was my last chocolate coin too." Mokuba complained.

It has been a week since Yugi has been staying at the Kaiba's mansion. The first day Yugi showed up he was nervous and diffident around the maids and guards including Roland who was the nicest person you can ever meet. Now he was showing some trust and being comfortable around the people that worked at the mansion, only a few who were taller or looked stronger than him he was still wary of them. Mokuba laid the rest of the cards in his hands on the table" I don't know how you do it, you beat me three time in a row and I have no more chocolate coins for me to eat." said the youngest Kaiba. Yugi grabbed two of the chocolates and stuck one in his pocket and handed the rest back to Mokuba. Mokuba shook his head" No you won those fair and square." he said politely. Yugi was determined to give Mokuba the chocolates back to him as he held his hand for Mokuba to take them." No, those are yours, Yugi." the boy said. Yugi gave a small playful glare as he got out of his chair he grabbed Mokuba's hand and placed the chocolate coins in his hand Yugi gave Mokuba one more final playful glare before walking back into his seat and started to giggle silently. Mokuba was dumbstruck; he did not expect that kind of behavior from Yugi at all." Ah! There you are, young Kaiba." said Roland as he walked into the dinning area.

Mokuba looked up at the man" Was you looking for me Roland?" he asked the man. Roland nodded his head" Yes young Kaiba, a package that had your name on it arrived today." Roland explained calmly. Mokuba shot out of the chair faster than the eye could process" REALLY! It might be that new game I got off Amazon." the boy said excitedly. Yugi perked up at the word game and he got out of his chair and walked over to Mokuba. He tapped on the boy's shoulder and signed with his hand" What kind of game is it?" he asked. The Kaiba's have been helping Yugi to communicate by using sign language. An ASL interpreter came by two days a week to help learn it." It's called Capsule Monster. It's sort of like playing chess except your pawns have levels and special abilities so you can defeat your opponent with." Mokuba explained as he ran to the front door to get the package with Yugi in tow. Yugi was so curious what the game looked like he was so excited that he didn't notice one of the guards accidentally walked out in front of him. Right as soon as Yugi saw the man it was too late he crashed into the tall muscular man" Oof!." The man made a pain sound when Yugi crashed into him. Yugi, who was dazed after crashing into someone, tried to get up off the floor. The guard got up and growled at the small teen" Watched it runt." he said in a rough voice. Yugi shrank back like a dog ready to be punish" Now Mike be nice to our guess I'm pretty sure it was an accident he's only a kid." Roland's voice said out of nowhere. Mike just growled at Roland and left the room. Yugi was looking down at the floor in shame and Roland could read it like a book." Don't worry Mr. Muto Mike was already having a bad day anyways it's not your fault." Roland said, trying to give the lad some comfort.

Mokuba came running back to them with a cardboard box in his hand" This is it!" he said happily as set the box on the floor and started ripping it open. Mokuba pulled out a chess board and a few pawns that looked like eggs with numbers on them, there was a one, 2 two's, and one four.

Mokuba pops open one of the number two eggs and Yugi's eyes shine in amazement as he looks at the monster. It was green and looked like a caterpillar except it had horns above his head. Yugi's whole body was jumping for joy. He felt like a 5 year old on christmas morning and picked up a level one monster to reveal a pink flower. Yugi looked confused wondering why someone would put a flower in a chess-like game. Mokuba as if reading Yugi's thoughts burst out laughing" Oh Yugi you should see your face the pawn may look innocent but it has a special ability which actually makes it strong." Mokuba explained to the teen. Yugi's cheek flushed red in embarrassment; he forgot that Mokuba already told him that." Ahh man I don't have enough pawns for us both to play." Mokuba said in disappointment." Don't worry young Kaiba. I'm pretty sure you can buy more at the games store." said Roland. Yugi picked up the level 4 capsule and popped it open to reveal a Elf swordsman off a card game that his grandfather was showing him before the terrible event happened that he still can't remember what happened." YUGI!" Yugi fell back on the floor after hearing Mokuba shouting his name. Mokuba covered his mouth to stifle his laughter but it escaped through his lips" HA ha haha I'm so-sorry Y-Yugi b-ut I've been-trying to get your attention but you wouldn't answer me." Mokuba explained through his fit of laughter. Yugi blushed brighter than a red tomato and he covered his face to hide the blush.


Night soon came. Mokuba was in the bathroom taking a bath while Yugi was in the guest room getting dressed in a stary pj's. Once Yugi got dressed he walked over to the dresser where his Millenium Puzzle layed. He picked the golden object and sat down on the bed staring at it. It was the only thing he had of his grandfather. He really wishes his grandfather gets the money soon for the landlord so that he can be back at the game shop. It's not like Yugi didn't like being at the Kaiba's Mansion; he just really missed the home that he only knew. Before Yugi even knew it he fell asleep clutching the puzzle in his hand not knowing that he wasn't alone in his room.

Kaiba yawned for the 30th time coming home. He had a long day at work. He had three meetings and had to sign papers all day. He rubs the tiredness from his tired eyes when the limo pulls into the Kaiba's mansion driveway. He picks up his binders full of paper and his suitcase as a butler opens the car door for him. He steps out of the vehicle and looks up at the mansion almost all the lights were out except for the ones down stairs. Kaiba walked into the mansion and a few of the maids were getting their stuff and ready to head out to go home. When they saw Seto bow their heads to him he responded with a slight nod. He walked into the living room and collapsed on one of the cushions sighing in delight at the comfortable furniture as he closed his eyes." SETO! HELP!" Kaiba's eyes snapped open hearing his little brother's voice. He looked at the clock really quick to see he had been asleep for 2 hrs already. He rushed up the stairs as fast as he could as soon as he reached the top of the stairs. Mokuba's and Yugi's bedroom doors were wide open and the lights were on." SETO!Yugi, please calm down, the man is gone now." Seto heard Mokuba's voice in the guest room. He dashed into the room to find his brother a few feet away from Yugi who was on the floor burying his head into his knees with his hands covering his ears, he looked around the room and a vase was on the floor and the window was wide open. He walked over to the window, but didn't see anyone so he walked back over to where his brother was. Kaiba could see Yugi slightly rocking back and forth, tears slowly falling off his cheeks. Yugi's breath was ragged and when Mokuba tried to comfort him Yugi pulled away from him and tried to make himself smaller. Seto pushed a button on his collar" Guards check the primiters for any intruders stat." he said comandly. They came a yes sir reply through the collar. Kaiba walked over to the two boys. Yugi seemed to have calmed down a bit but he was now sitting up wrapping his arms around his legs as his head rested on his knees.

Seto went to reach out Yugi slowly when it seemed the teen was not gonna pull away or run off he placed his hand on the teens shoulders. Yugi slowly looked up at Kaiba with glassy eyes as if he was seeing something that Seto couldn't. More tears fell from the teens eyes" Yugi what happened?" he asked softly. The only answer he got was a slow shake of the head before Yugi buried his eyes into his knees. Kaiba signs of course it wasn't gonna be this easy." I heard noises coming from his room so I went to check on him to see if he was ok. When I opened the door a dark figure was holding Yugi by the arm and when he saw me he froze then he jumped out the window when I hollard for you." Mokuba explained, a little shaken. When a sudden static came from Kaiba's collar he pressed the button" Yes did you find anyone?" he asked gravely" Sorry Mr. Kaiba but we checked the whole primess and came back empty handed. There was no sign of anyone here sir." answer someone with a rough voice." Thanks Mike, check the perimeter again just to make sure no one overlooked anything." Kaiba commanded." Yes sir" answered Mike.

Seto looked at Yugi and was surprised that the young teen was staring at him. Yugi just looked at Kaiba with confused eyes. It sort of creeped Seto out with him just staring at him. Finally Yugi looked away and started to look around the room as if looking for something. He slowly got up off the floor. Kaiba did the same, making sure Yugi didn't run off or something. Yugi looked around again and finally spotted what he was looking for: The Millennium Puzzle. Yugi walked over to the corner of the room where the puzzle was laid. He bent over and picked up the object and held it close to him. He walked back over to the bed and sat on it. His eyes had a far away look in his eyes like he wasn't there. His crimson eyes looked so sad like he lost his best friend or someone died. Wait crimson Kaiba thought last time he checked Yugi had amethyst eye color he looked again and Yugi's eyes were back to normal they weren't the blood red crimson color anymore and they weren't glassy they looked confused? He shook his head thinking it was the trick of the light in the room somehow.


The Spirit POV:

The spirit of the puzzle was walking in the maze of the puzzlewhen he felt something not right. It was a dark presence, but it wasn't any normal dark presence, it was the feeling of vengeance. Most of the dark presence he felt were just cruel people without any reason, but this presence was different, this presence was having vengeance for a loved one or someone close. But it didn't stop the spirit to stop to protect his light. He fazed out of the puzzle to look around the room. In the corner of the room near the window a shadowy figure stands there. It didn't move for a good while. It seemed like hours but only twenty minutes later the figure slowly walked closely to him and host. It was too dark in the room for him to see the figure's face but by going body feature he would guess the figure is a male. When the man got close enough he went to grab his Hakari but for some reason the man stopped and he knew the reason the figure stopped to look at the Millennium Puzzle. Instead of grabbing his host the man reached for the puzzle that his host was clinging to. The man slowly took away the puzzle from the boy and this made the spirit mad no furious no one was ever gonna take him away from his host his light again. He shot out a jolt of power from the Millennium Puzzle causing the figure to throw the puzzle into a corner of the room near something that you call a dresser. Suddenly felt an all familiar feeling and he wished he didn't; his host was awake. His host looked at his host and he heard a gasp from him when he saw the figure causing the man to turn around to look at his light. The spirit cursed himself for not being able to help his host, with his host's wake it was hard to take over and he didn't want to force and end up hurting the host. He also cursed the puzzle for not being able to give him a fiscal body to save his light. He watched the host who had big frightened eyes. It looked like his host was screaming but nothing was coming out. What surprised him the most when he jumped out of the bed like some that his host called a ninja. He watched as his Hikari headed for the door but the figure grabbed him and pulled him back.

He watched as Yugi was thrown against a table making a thing called a vase fall onto the floor. He saw his host shaking his head before the figure grabbed a hold of Yugi's arm pulling him up off the floor. Then out of the blue the door to the bedroom was open" Yugi are you ok I heard noises." said a soft familiar voice. The spirit looked at the person at the door to see Mokuba standing there with a shocked look on his face, but he wasn't the only one as he saw the figure frozen in place." SETO! HELP!" the boy shouted. The figure let go of his host much to the spirit relief and the man jumped out of the window. He looked back at his host who was now curled into himself and his breathing was harsher than normal. He saw Mokuba turn on the light and went over to Yugi as he tried to comfort him but his light pulled away. He knew the young boy wasn't trying to hurt his host, but he couldn't help but glare at the boy, scaring his Hakari." SETO!Yugi, please calm down, the man is gone now." the child said to his host trying to comfort Yugi. Suddenly Kaiba showed up in the room. He froze for a good fifteen seconds before he walked over to the window where the man escaped from. The young man looked around for a few minutes then walked over to where the boy named Mokuba was.

What happened next throwed the spirit through a loop. The man touched the collar of his jacket and he spoke to it?" " Guards check the primiters for any intruders stat," he said. He was even more surprised when he talked back to him. This was the strangest thing he ever saw. your clothes can talk to you. He was brought back to the present when he heard Kaiba speaking" Yugi what happened?" the man asked. He felt his host feelings and knew that the boy was not gonna answer anyone anytime soon. He blocked out everything so that he could concentrate on taking over his host body. He felt his host fight back a little but he sent a warm feeling as his light fell into unconsciousness. When he felt that his Hakari was sleeping peacefully in his soul room he relaxed glad that he didn't harm his host. He opened his eyes and he heard a weird buzzing sound then he heard the young man's voice speak" Yes did you find anyone?" he said to his collar. The collar once more spoke again" Sorry Mr. Kaiba but we checked the whole primess and came back empty handed. There was no sign of anyone here sir." it said. " Thanks Mike, check the perimeter again just to make sure no one overlooked anything." Seto said to his collar. The spirit looked at the man" Oh my Ra did he really name his collar?" he thought. As if the young could sense someone staring at him he looked up at the spirit. The spirit just stared right back at him until he realized that the puzzle wasn't close and he could already feel the mental strain of losing his control. He looked around the room and finally spotted it. He got up slowly and saw from the corner of his eyes that Kaiba was doing the same. But he ignored him as he walked over to pick up the puzzle and walked to the bed and sat on it. He felt his host waking up and allowed his Hakari to take over as he noticed Kaiba was giving him a weird looking stare.


Back To The Presence:

Yugi looked at the puzzle in his hand as he tried to remember how it got there. He looked up to see Mokuba and Kaiba standing there in front of him. Mokuba walked up to him first slowly and asked" Are you ok now Yugi?" he said softly. Yugi gave him a slight nod as he tried to hold back the tears from falling. Yugi closed his eyes so they wouldn't fall and he gripped the puzzle tighter so that his knuckles were turning white like a sheet of snow. Yugi then felt someone wrapping his arms around him and he opened his eyes in shock as he saw Mokuba was hugging him" No you're not Yugi you don't have to lie so you can make me feel better your feelings matter too we're friends aren't we?" Mokuba said quietly as he himself was about to cry. Yugi couldn't help himself; he burst into tears as he buried his face into Mokuba's shoulders and cried still clutching the puzzle and if you looked closely enough you would see that it was slightly glowing as if it too was trying to comfort the boy.

A few hours went by until Yugi passed out while Mokuba was still hugging him. Now the young boy was feeling Yugi's dead weight effectively now." Uh, Seto, I think I need your help." When Mokuba didn't get an answer he looked over to see his older brother passed out on his own." Great now what." Mokuba complained. Suddenly Yugi rolled over and he would've hit his head on the floor if Mokuba didn't catch him. Mokuba just gently laid Yugi on the floor because there was no way in the world that he was going to pick him up and put him onto the bed. Feeling exhausted himself he walked over to his brother and laid down beside him. He looked over at Yugi who was peacefully sleeping. He couldn't help but smile. He felt like he had another brother even if his brother won't admit it Seto also thinks Yugi as a family as well. With that thought in his mind he fell asleep moving closer to Kaiba.


CRASH! A vase was thrown across the room and shattered into pieces" NO no no curse those Kaiba's they ruined my plan once again." said a elderly man who looked to be 60's. He had grey hair and his eyes were dull green. He was pretty good in health as he still had muscles on his arms. The man picked up a stool and threw it on to the grown and it splintered all over the floor. After finally calming down, the man walked over to the kitchen table and picked up a beer bottle. He popped it open with his thumb and jugged down the liquid like it was water. He threw the empty bottle on to the floor causing it to shatter glass everywhere. He sat down in the chair and picked up a photo that showed a young man with brown hair. The person in the photo looked to be 20 years old." Don't worry, Boken your father will get the revenge that you deserve if only those Kaiba's weren't in the way today. I would already have that brat." he said surely. "If the Kaiba's want to get in my way again I won't hesitate to take them out!" he shouted.


The spirit woke up the next morning and was walking around the mansion in his host form. He wanted to see the place himself while his Hakari was resting. He found a few things that were really interesting to him that normal people wouldn't think were fascinating. He walked into a room with tile floors and he found a huge container that had door knobs on it one was blue and the other one was red. It also had a weird silver shape thing striking out he touched and was cold and smooth. He turned the blue knob to see if it opened but instead water came out of a weird silver thing falling into the huge tank thing. He searched through his Hakari memory and came up with a "bathtub". The spirit thought it was weird to call it that since there is a hole in the tub making the water go down it. He felt the water and pulled his hand back as the water was icy cold. He turned the knob again but the rushed faster he kept on turning until it wouldn't turn anymore he started to panic thinking he broke this weird bathtub thing. He then turned it the other way until the water stopped running. He sighs in relief glad he didn't break someone's things. Then he turned around to look at a white thing standing beside the thing called a bathtub. It had a lid and water was somehow still in it even though there was hole in it. He looked on the side of the white thing to see a tiny silver thing. He poked it but nothing happened so he pushed it on and it went down with ease. He jumped back when the thing made a loud whoosh sound as he watched the water swirled around and around until it disappeared into sight, but like magic the thing started to fill up with water again. He decided to leave the room and walked into the hallway. He walked around into a room that had furniture and a black box on a wall which he thought was kind of weird.

He looked around the room and found a black thing that had color circles and triangles. He pushed the red circle on the top right corner. He dropped the thing when the black box on the wall came to life as light and colors showed on the thing. What really surprised him the most was that there was a person in the box but the person wasn't afraid as he kept on talking about something about global warming whatever that was. He walked over to the black box that made noise and colorful pictures he tapped on the screen and drew his hand back when it shocked him. It didn't really hurt him, just startled him, but it did leave a funny feeling in his hand. He picked up the black thing with colorful shapes. He pushed the red button again and the black box went black once more. He searched through his host memory so he could learn what these things were called. The thing near the bathtub was called a toilet which he couldn't help chuckle at the sound of the word. The black box was called a TV and the black thing with color shapes was called a remote. He dropped the remote on the floor once more when he felt someone placed their hand on his shoulders. He wondered why he didn't since the person coming up behind him. He turned around and just sighs in relief to see Roland, one of Kaiba's bodyguard" Sorry mister Muto I didn't mean to startle you, I just happened to walk in and saw you playing with the TV." Roland stated softly. The burned red with embarrassment being caught doing something childish, but he couldn't help himself; everything to him was new. Roland chuckled, causing the spirit to look up at him confused" It's ok mister Muto there's no shame in being curious of things you're probably not used to seeing big TV's like this." Roland said gently.

The spirit shifted uncomfortably, not used to interacting with people like this unless he was going to punish them." Say if you want you and I can watch a game show called Think Thank Thunk!." Roland said happily. After hearing the word game he nodded his head eager to see what this game is about. Roland turned on the game show for a while. It was just a guy asking a few people questions like" Who was the first man to land on the moon?" , " Who discovered America?", " Who invented the bullet train?" All three people answered the question right." Now let's see if you three can answer this riddle '' What has a mouth but never eats, What has bed but never sleep, What's always running but never gets tired? You have 30 seconds to answer so contestants THINK THANK THUNK AND PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON!" Everyone shouted on the TV with the man. The three people put on weird looking helmets on their heads as music played while the people were writing the answer. The spirit tried to think of the answer. It took a few seconds before he found the answer. Now he just wonders if the three people stuck in the TV can get it." ALL RIGHT PUT YOUR PEN DOWN AND YOUR THINKING CAPS OFF AND LETS SEE WHO GOT THE ANSWER!" The man said.

One guy held up his board that said" Brain" a huge noise blurred and a red light flashed on him."Oh good answer there Kohan but that is wrong and we all know what happens if they get the answer wrong they….." he dragged out the word they. Then the crowd shouted" THEY GET DUNK!"they all said. Pretty soon the man fell and it showed him dropping into the water below him. Then it went back to the Host man who went to a girl she picked up her board and it said" Refrigerator" once again red lights flash and landed on her and the same thing happened to her as the man from before. Then it came to the last person who held up his board that said" Electricity" and once more the answer was wrong and you all know what happened to him." All right that's it folks it for today come by next week and watch THINK THANK THUNK!" the host said as the people in the crowd clapped their hands. Roland turned off the TV " Ok that's all for now so what do you think about it do you like the show?" Roland asked Yugi. The spirit of the puzzle looked up at Roland and nodded his head." You must really like games if this old show interests you." Roland said as he got up and walked into the kitchen" Would you like some coffee mister Muto?" Roland asks. The spirit tilted his head in confusion" What's coffee?" he wondered. The spirit just shrugged his shoulders for his answer" How about you try some to see if you want any." Roland suggested. The spirit once more nodded his head after a good 15 mins Roland finally grabbed two mugs and set them on the table he went back to counter to look through the cabinet for something. The spirit looked at the two mugs filled with black liquid. He smelled one of the mugs and cringed at the smell.

He picked up one of the mugs and felt how warm the cup was. He saw steam rising from the black liquid. He raised it to his lips slowly as he took a sip of the liquid. He immediately spit out the bitter hot liquid as it went everywhere on the floor. He set the mug onto the table as he wiped his mouth with his hand. Then out of the blue he heard a chuckle and he looked at the culprit" You know the coffee will taste better if you put some cream and sugar in it." said Roland holding a container of Vanilla cream in one hand and four packs of sugar in another. He set the material on the table and went to the sink to grab a paper towel. He picked up the coffee mess" Also in the future make sure you spit in the sink or trash can so there would be less work on the staff please." Roland scolded lightly. The spirit just nodded his head again in agreement. Roland pour creamer into the coffee mugs and open the packets and dump them sugar in as well. He then grabbed a teaspoon and stirred the coffee until it turned into a light brown color. The spirit couldn't help but be amazed by this. Roland handed him the mug" Here you go now try it." he said as he took a sip of his own coffee. The spirit looked down at the coffee and smelled it, it didn't smell any different. He hesitantly took a sip and was surprised that it wasn't bitter anymore. He took another sip to make sure that his mind wasn't playing tricks on him.

After a while it soon became light outside Roland looked at his clock as it read 8:30 am. He looked over at Yugi to see the young teen asleep how he did not know." Apparently coffee has an opposite effect on the boy." Roland thought. Roland got up and moved the boy to the living room couch. He was surprised that the child hardly weighed anything at all. He grabbed a blanket off the back of the couch and placed it over Yugi's form. He thought back many times when he did this to Kaiba when he was young he wished he had kids of his own,but he couldn't because he couldn't help his wife to produce any children. When he thinks of it now Kaiba and Mokuba are like as if they were one of his own blood they are family to him.


Kaiba woke up with an aching back. He opened his eyes slowly and was confused when he realized he wasn't in his room. He looked right beside him and saw his brother asleep, then his memory came back. He looked over where he thought Yugi would be but he didn't see the young teen anywhere in the room. He got up off the floor and walked down stairs into the living room. He was relieved to see Yugi resting peacefully on the couch but was surprised to see Roland also in there sitting on a loveseat reading a book." Roland what are you doing here you don't work today?" said Seto. Roland looked up from his book and gave a friendly smile" Well one of the guards called in sick so I decided to take his place today." Roland explained. Kaiba sigh" Roland I could've got someone else to work today." he said. Roland just shook his head" It's fine Kaiba, me and my wife talked about it this morning. She was gonna be busy herself today so I would've been home alone anyways." Roland explained." You know you don't get paid working over time you know even though I know you the longest and trust you the most I pay everyone equally." Kaiba said. Roland just waved him off as a ``I don't care" gesture and went back to reading." When did he wake up?" Kaiba asked, nodding his head toward Yugi as he sat down on a recliner. Still looking at his book he was reading Roland's answer" He was up when I got here at 5 O-clock this morning. He was playing with the TV like he had never seen one before. I almost scared the little fella out of his pants." he answered.

Kaiba looked back at Yugi who was oblivious to their conversation" I'm surprised he is still not awake." Seto said out of the blue. Roland chuckle" I may have given him coffee and apparently caffeine has the opposite effect on him because the next thing I knew he passed out cold." Roland said, still chuckling. Suddenly Yugi shifted in his sleep and started stretching his body, a yawn escaping from his lips. The teen opened his eyes slowly, rubbing the sleep from his eyes he rolled over not realizing he was close to the edge on the couch. THUD! Roland and Kaiba couldn't help but laugh at this Yugi however thought otherwise as he tried to scroll at them but instead looked cute with his bright innocent eyes. Roland just laughed harder, dropping his book onto the floor Yugi just rolled his eyes. He then looked around his surroundings and realized he wasn't in the same room like he was last night. After a while of thinking about it he shook it off thinking he must have been sleep walking, or Kaiba or Roland brought him down here he hoped it was the first one then the other two." So mister Muto, did you rest well?" asked Roland, setting his book down on the table. Yugi nodded his head as he bent over to pick up the blanket and folded it. Seto looked down at his watch and saw it was 9:00 clock" Ok I better wake up Mokuba before sleeps the day away." he said as he got up off the couch.

When Seto disappeared upstairs Roland went back to the book he was reading and Yugi was standing beside the couch until someone tackled him to the floor. All Yugi could see was a big black blob in his face until his vision cleared to reveal the young Kaiba brother" Heh heh I got you Yugi that's one point for and you zero." Mokuba said. Yugi gave Mokuba a mischievous smile and started tickling the boy to the ground." He- Hey t-th-that's hehheh n-not fair heh heh y-your c-ch-che-cheating." Mokuba said between his laughs. Not long after this did Seto come back down stairs with a worried look on his face" Roland I can't find-" He stopped in his mid-sentence when he saw his brother laughing his head off while Yugi was tickling." Mokuba, he said quietly. Yugi stopped when Mokuba said he was gonna pee himself from laughing too much. Mokuba got up and put his hand in surrender gesture" Ok you win even though I still think it's cheating though." Mokuba said in a mock pout. Yugi just gave the boy a smile that said" Cheating I did no such thing" Mokuba just laughed.

Noon came and everyone got done eating lunch" Hey Seto, can we go out to the park today? It looks nice out." Mokuba asked his brother. Kaiba thought for a moment but after seeing his little brother pulling the puppy dog eyes he couldn't say no. So twenty minutes later Roland,Kaiba, Yugi, and Mokuba were at the park. Mokuba was playing in the sand box with other kids his age, Kaiba was on his laptop doing some work that needed done, Roland of course was beside Kaiba standing guard and also keeping his eye on Mokuba every few seconds. Yugi however was near a tree laying on the soft grass bathing in the sun before he realized he fell asleep.

A figure who looked about in his 60's was on a bench reading a magazine or so that's what it seemed he was doing. If you look closely or were really paying attention a piece of the newspaper was cut out and a camera in its place. The elderly man was taking pictures of Mokuba playing and Yugi who was still relaxing by the tree. After taking a few more pictures he slowly put his camera away in a bag and threw away the newspaper in the trash. He got up and looked around and walked out of the park" Soon I'll get both of them boys. Of course young Kaiba is just a decoy so that his brother won't get in my way of revenge." The man though.

The spirit of the puzzle once again took over his host body when he felt his light falling asleep he decided to take over. The spirit loved feeling the warm sun shining down on him; it felt like home you could say. A breeze blew by and the spirit closed his eyes enjoying the still calmness of nature. If you looked closely you could see a tiny smile spreading across his face. He felt something crawling on him. He looked down at his arm to see an black ant. It was carrying a grass leaf in its mouth. It crawled at the tip of his fingers and it stopped moving its antenna back and forth as if it was making a decision. Pretty soon it crawled under his hand, the spirit flipped over his hand and saw the ant crawling up his arm. The ant seemed to change his mind as it went back down his arm. The spirit lowered his hand to the ground as the ant crawled off his hand onto the ground. He watched the ant bump into a different color ant instead of black it was red. The red ant tried to take the food from the black one but the black one was not giving up without a fight. Pretty soon the black one lost his meal as the red one ran off with the grass leaf. The spirit picked a grass leaf beside him and put it in front of the black one. The black ant seemed startled but it used it's antenna and circled the piece of grass before deciding to pick it up with its jaws and carrying his treasure away. The spirit was paying so much attention to the ant that he didn't sense the two people dressed in orange jumpsuits coming up behind him.


The two figures in a criminal uniform were picking up garbage at the park while three police guards were watching them and the other criminals who were doing the same thing." I can't believe that here we are having to pick up stinkin garbage for other people." grumble one of the prisoners." Well this is what happens when you're a thief and you get caught by a cop you idiot." grumble the other prisoner. The other man just rolled his eyes until he spotted a kid near a tree" Hey Drake doesn't that kid have the perfect description that the two gang bangs were talking about?" the guy asked his partner. The man now known as Drake looked over where his friend was looking" Yeah he does what about it Mike?" Drake asked. Mike gave a wicked smiled" Well you want to escape right?" he said mockingly. Drake nodded his head" Well we have an easy target right there he can be our hostage the kid won't know what hit him." explained Mike. Drake hummed in thought" Ok I see but how are we gonna do that with the guards watching us." he stated,pointing at the police guard leaning against the pole." Well all we have to do is get one of the inmates to fight and the guards would be too busy trying to break up the fight to pay any attention to us." Mike explained. Mike picked up a pop can while the guards weren't looking and stuffed it in his pocket. The two men walked closer to one of the inmates who was picking up a juice box. Mike pulled out the pop can and threw it at the man's head as the can hit its target he and Drake bendover out of view so that the other man didn't see them but the other man. The criminal that got hit with the pop can turned around angrily as he glared at the man who he thought was the culprit." Hey!Do you think it's funny to throw garbage at other people? How would you like it if I did that to you." the man shouted. The other man looked up and arched his eyebrow" What are you talking about? I didn't throw any garbage at anyone." he said." Well someone did and you're the only person I see who is close enough to have done it." The inmate said as he charged at the other and tackled him to the ground." Hey, break it up now!" shouted one of the guards catching the other two guards' attention. Drake and Mike slowly backed away from the scene as they walked over to the boy who was now looking at the grown at something.


The spirit of the puzzle found more ants roaming around. He was fascinated how all the little critters were working together. All of the sudden the sun was blocked by a big shadow. The spirit was confused by the sudden shade as he turned around. He saw two big men in orange clothing and they both had the same haircut and hair color. The only difference was their face shape and their eye color: one had green eyes and the other had hazel color. The spirit was surprised that once more he didn't sense their presence. What was going on? He wondered in his mind why wasn't the puzzle warning about these things?" Hey kid, what are you doing down there?" asked the man with green course the spirit didn't say anything for two reasons didn't like the way the two men were staring at him 2. He can't speak because his host throat is still healing. The man growled at the boy when he didn't answer" Easy Drake we probably just startled him is all." said the man with hazel eyes. Drake grabbed the teen by the back of his collar and held him up like a cat." He sure is small to be a teen." the man named Drake said. The spirit grit his teeth at the man and apparently didn't like it cause he slapped the boy across the face. Now the spirit was furious he tried to dig deep into the puzzle power but something was wrong it was like the puzzle had no power but that couldn't be it if he could still take over his host body right? The man Drake placed his muscle hand over the boy's mouth" Now you listen here runt your gonna help us escape understand." the man said in the boy's ear. The spirit glared and moved his mouth around. Once he got it free he bit the man's hand hard." AAAARG! YOU BRAT!" the man yelled as he dropped the boy. The spirit got up as quickly as he could and started running toward Kaiba, the only person he knew that would help. He didn't get far as he was tackled to the ground causing all the air to leave his lungs. The spirit didn't stop putting up a fight as he tried to kick his captor"Now kid you're just gonna just make this harder on yourself." said a different man's voice. All of sudden a woman's voice screamed, causing almost everyone in the park to say `` Someone help that criminal is kidnapping a child." she shouted.


Kaiba was almost done with his work when he heard a woman scream" `` Someone help that criminal is kidnapping a child." he heard the woman say. Instantly his brother's instinct kicked in and he looked for his brother. He sighs in relief when he sees Mokuba by a slide with another boy. It was then when his heart dropped when the other boy wasn't Yugi." If Yugi is not with Mokuba then where is he?" the thought went through." STAY BACK OR I'll SNAP THIS BOY NECK!" a man shouted. Kaiba looked over where everyone was looking and froze when he saw a prisoner who had Yugi headlock while another inmate was nursing his left hand. He saw that the police guards were trying to stop them" Where were they before this thing all started?" Seto growled in his mind.


The spirit was frustrated for some reason the puzzle was not working and this man just threatened to snap his host's neck." Kid, quit your struggling right now or I'll make you quit struggling by putting you to sleep." said the hazel eyes man. The spirit answered with a swift kick to the man's shin." AAAHH!" The man yelped, releasing the boy. The other man chased after the boy. The man went to grab the boy by the collar,but the spirit had other ideas as he turned around and kicked the man where no man should be kicked. The man fell to his knees in pain while the spirit ran in the direction where Kaiba was. He didn't know what was going on. He didn't know why the puzzle was not working right now; he just hoped that it wouldn't last long. The police handcuff the criminals before they could get another chance at escaping. The spirit couldn't help but slip a small smirk on his face. He looked down at the puzzle and frowned. He wondered what was wrong with it two times today. People came up behind him without sending them. Then he couldn't activate the puzzle power. What could possibly be wrong?" YUGI!" The spirit looked up and saw Kaiba,Roland, and Mokuba running up toward him. Mokuba crushed the spirit into a hug which he felt uncomfortable about not being used to close contact." Yugi, are you ok? I was so worried." Mokuba cried as he hugged the small teen around his waist. The spirit just smiled slightly not really knowing what to do he couldn't switch back to his host cause then that would make things harder on him because he wouldn't know what would be going on.


Night came and everyone at the Kaiba mansion was in their room fast asleep, yes even the great CEO of Kaiba corp. Was in bed asleep. When they got home the spirit let Yugi take over of course Yugi was confused at first but shrugged it off. Yugi was in bed tossing and turning in his sleep beads of sweat were pouring down his face. His face was flush red and his breathing was ragged. He ended up waking himself up coughing his whole body was aching. He felt really hot all of the sudden his stomach felt queasy. He flung the bed covers off of him as soon his foot hit the floor. The room felt like it was spinning in circles causing him to be nauseous. He struggled to gain his balance and headed for the door struggling to open the door. He walked into the hall vision swimming he coughed causing his stomach to queasy more. He walked for a few more steps before collapsing onto the floor throwing up all over the floor. Yugi tried to get up but he was so weak he started to shiver suddenly feeling cold.


In a small house a elderly man was in his house gathering some ropes and rags. He stuck them in a pile as he stepped over the beer glass on the floor as they crushed under his botted feet. He picked up the photo off the table" Soon Boken soon I'll avenge your death." the man vowed." And this time Kaiba won't be in my way." he said as he held a picture that had Mokuba swinging on a swing set. The man stuck the photo in an envelope and sealed it. He put a fake address on it and sent it to the person who he wanted it sent to. He stuck the envelope in the mailbox and raised the flag on it. He went back into his house to rest as he waited for his plan to come in motion.
